(I'm back!)
The sky that was normally pitch black in las noches was illuminated by a light blue light that seemed to be growing brighter by the second. Upon closer inspection, they were blue flames. No. Not just any Blue flame, an innumerable volley of Meteor sized Blue flame balls fell from the sky at a high rate raining down upon the battlefield. These flames rained down upon the entirety of Hueco Mudo, destroying the palace as well as the surrounding area. This was but a portion of the power of the 0 Espada, Nero.
(Well, shit.)
Looking up to the sky, Erhardt notices Blue Meteors falling from the sky. He reflexively brings up his trademark Reishi Shield, blocking a majority of the attacks from hitting him. He wasn't designated "S" for nothing.
After the end of the barrage, Erhardt chuckles. A stray meteor had manage to graze his arm, ripping part of his sleeve and leaving a cut with blue flames.
I didn't use Blut... no need to waste it, but now my uniform's dirty again... and it was new, too!
Using his uninjured arm, Erhardt places it on his injured arm. He then absorbs the foreign reishi and energy into his other hand, and it manifests into a light blue, translucent ball of energy. His arm heals slowly, with the cut closing up. He then casually tosses the energy ball a distance away, and it erupts in a small explosion.
"Well, I suppose I'm in for quite a fight. I wonder if this is what Bistiel experienced."
His excitement was palpable, and Erhardt almost seemed child like in his curiosity. What being could wield such power? It would finally be a helpful gauge for his own. A thin smile crossed his face.
"It's an Espada. This reishi "smells" of it."
Using the aftertrails left behind by the meteors as an indicator, Erhardt engages his disc once again, and begins his journey towards the source.
