Chapter 858: Extinguished Flame
The forest where Hugo lived was also burned, and his only relative, his uncle, also died in the fire.
And all this was done by Yhwach, who was said to have lived for more than 200 years at that time. He was a monster that used bows and arrows, manipulated incredible power, and controlled the northern territory, unlike other Quincy.
Bazby looked at the raging flames that enveloped the city where he once lived, and vowed to kill Yhwach. Hugo was also persuaded by him, and the two decided to take revenge on the man who destroyed everything for them.
They lived on the gold dug out from the remaining ruins and worked hard to train themselves, all for revenge against Yhwach.
Although neither of them said it out loud, they both understood the gap between themselves and each other, so they decided to become Yhwach's guards and then find an opportunity to kill him.
The two continued to hone themselves, and Bazby still showed amazing talent and his strength rose rapidly.
But Haschwalth was different. He did not show the talent of being a Quincy. Although he worked hard to practice, he could not even condense spirit particles to form a bow and arrow.
Bazby knew that there was no advantage in taking Hugo with him to take revenge on Youhabach, and he might even become a burden to him.
But every time he saw Hugo, who was working hard to hone his sword skills because he couldn't condense a spirit bow and arrow, he couldn't bear to abandon him.
Five years passed like this, and the opportunity to take revenge on Youhabach finally came.
At this time, Youhabach, who had almost unified the time of the Quincy and established the Kingdom of Light, suddenly announced that he would form a special force called the Stern Cross Knights, which meant recruiting the best Quincy to launch an attack on Soul Society.
Bazby and Haschwald, who received the news, immediately rushed to the nearest city, where someone happened to be recruiting Quincy to join the Stern Cross Knights. This would be the closest force to Youhabach, and the two naturally couldn't miss such an opportunity.
It's just that the two children talking about joining the Stern Cross Knights would undoubtedly make people laugh. Bazby was of course happy to show his strength to those who looked down on him, and it was at that time that he really met Youhabach for the first time.
Bazby still remembers that feeling clearly until now. Just the spiritual pressure that was revealed inadvertently made him kneel on the ground, which was completely worthy of the name of a monster.
At that time, Youhabach said that he was looking for something, looking for someone who could be his right hand.
Bazby was extremely excited when he heard this. He was sure that Youhabach was looking for him. With his outstanding talent, he would become the other party's right hand and then kill Youhabach.
But when he desperately propped up his body and looked up, he saw that Youhabach was facing Hugo, the only one who could still stand in the whole audience. At that moment, he actually had an illusion that everything in the universe seemed to exist only for these two people.
"I know your name, Yuglan Hasward, my half, you have to join the Stern Cross Knights as my confidant."
Bazby remembered what Youhabach said at that time until his death. He didn't understand why he, who was extremely talented, could only kneel in front of Youhabach, while Hugo, who had no talent, could become the other party's confidant.
At that moment, his friendship, concern and even pity for Hugo were replaced by a complex emotion, including jealousy, anger of betrayal and unwillingness.
Haschwald also clearly remembered the scene at that time. He was called a half-body by Youhabach, and then joined the Stern Cross Knights as a confidant. This was the long-cherished wish of Baz and him, but when all this really happened to him, he was panicked and at a loss.
At that time, he was looking for Baz's figure, but he saw a strange look. He seemed to understand Baz's thoughts in an instant, so he immediately recommended Baz, who was more talented, to Youhabach.
But for Bazby, it was simply another humiliation to himself. He learned about Hugo's true ability from Youhabach, which made him understand that the other party did not need his pity or compassion.
The Quincy has the ability to condense spirit particles, so condensing them into bows and arrows is also a manifestation of the Quincy's talent.
Hugo is different. He has the opposite ability to share souls, and the only one who has the same ability as him is Youhabach.
Hugo is special. As long as he is around him, ordinary Quincy will feel that their strength is rapidly increasing. Youhabach completely denies his talent and attributes it to Hugo.
In this way, Hugo successfully entered the Stern Cross Knights, and Bazby was not even looked at by Youhabach.
However, after another three years, Bazby finally joined the Stern Cross Knights as he wished through hard work, and at that time, Hugo had become the leader of the Stern Cross Knights.
He worked hard to finally enter the Stern Cross Knights with Hugo and became Youhabach's confidant.
But in addition to the goal of killing Youhabach, Bazby has another goal, which is to compete with Hugo. He does not believe in the power brought by his talent and hard work, which is entirely because Hugo is silently paying!
It's just that Hugo has been avoiding a duel with him on the grounds that the Stern Cross Knights cannot fight among themselves. Even though the two are now really standing on opposite sides, Hugo still doesn't show any intention of fighting him.
Is he looking down on me?
Are you sympathizing and pitying me? !
Bazby doesn't need such sympathy and pity, "Finger of Fire, 3!"
A huge pillar of fire shot towards Hasward.
Hastward seemed to finally lose his patience, or perhaps if he continued to let Bazby mess around like this, his majesty's palace would probably be destroyed.
He cut off the pillar of fire with a sword, and came to Bazby and hit his lower abdomen with the hilt of the sword. Bazby spat out a mouthful of blood and knelt on one knee.
"Stop, Bazby, no matter how much we fight, it will not benefit your majesty at all."
"No benefit to your majesty?! I'm here to kill that majesty!" Bazby slowly stood up and stretched out four fingers except the thumb, "Finger of Fire, 4!"
The blazing flames wrapped his right hand into a giant flaming knife. Bazby rushed forward and slashed at Hasward.
"Bazby Black!" Hasward shouted loudly, but such a warning seemed to be useless, and he had to dodge the opponent's hot knife.
"What's wrong? Are you avoiding a duel again? Are you so afraid of losing to me, Hugo!"
Bazby turned around and raised the flaming giant sword again, but before he could swing it, a cold light flashed, and his right hand was cut off by Haschward's sword. The opponent finally got serious.
Bazby felt that the blood in his body was burning. He made a move with his left hand, and five pillars of fire flew out from his fingertips and entangled together, turning into a hurricane of fire, "Fire all fingers!"
Facing the hurricane of fire that seemed to burn everything, Haschward simply stabbed and broke Bazby's strongest move. He stepped behind him, and the sword had already cut through Bazby's chest. Blood gushed out but did not fall to the ground, and was evaporated by the remaining heat.
This close friend who once protected him and even led him is now just a character that can be dealt with by two swords in front of him.
Fate made these two people with completely different personalities become close friends, and made them, who had supported each other through difficult times, face each other with swords.
It was really cold and ruthless, which made people sigh.
