"There it is. Don't let it get away!" Lightening struck as flares of the inferno flames of the combined fires from the Shinigami stormed into a spiral of scorching heat. The beast continued to create distance as he stormed through the woods beyond Seireitei. The Shinigami became persistent after his departure from Rukongai. The mission to flee from Wycliff was successful, though carried with it the scars that was forced to persist, and lingered across the form of his body. A missing left arm, and muscles that were deeply scarred, with joints still recovering. Especially his legs. The ballistics of the Shinigami's Kido fractured much of the innards of his legs. He couldn't run at his top speed, and quite frankly caused him some discomfort. But this level he was accustomed to. He was a Spartan.
The trees were a nuisances to deal with. Baring his path every inch deeper into the woods, the Shinigami forces numbered in the dozens. Exploration teams mixed with a large number of their Defense Units if he had to really think about it as their numbers. Flashes of light struck the trees at his sides with his body jerking off course. Trees continued to fall in his wake as the King of Beasts stampeded without concern for the amount of noise he was causing. Seated Officers gave commands from the front and the center of the large pyramid shaped formation. Adrastos was in no position to fight right now considering the trees gave them too much cover. It didn't matter how many he would knock down in his rampancy, but with the thought of their being able to retreat and hide in their shadows, with much assistance from his partially blind eye, only made the task of getting rid of them much worse. He wouldn't be able to utilize his strength as he needed to in this scenario.
After digging into the ground, the Adjuchas nested for a time. A few days give or take, though no more than a week possibly. What energy that he managed to devour from the Shinigami before hand was utilized in restoring what injuries he sustained during his flee. He didn't know for how long he was gone, but during such time the Shinigami came to find the distant nest that the Hollow had made underground, and flooded it with Kido spells. The deep tunnel allowed Adrastos to remain safe for a time until they decided to venture further in. The tremors that their Kido's had cause striking surfaces within the tunnel. The consistent amount of Kido's shook the Hollow awake, stirring it from it's slumber, and clawing it's way away from the noise. The Shinigami pursued.
It was here that the Shinigami massed in larger numbers, reporting to those in the near by areas to aid in their slaying. They rushed to flank the Adjuchas. Both sides cut off by their numbers. "RRAAAGGHHHHHHH! the Adjuchas howled in rage. A single step he took carried emphasis of his full strength. The ground shook and rippled, causing a large wave of Earth to form and sway. The trees were uprooted from the ground as the surface cracked and split into large forms of debris. Their footing unstable as each one fell victim to the tremor. A single Shinigami stumbled out from the tree as his grip slipped from one of the branches. And through the heavy layer of dust and dirt, Adrastos had his bone mask open. Fangs drawn outwards, and snapped shut. Only the crunch and gnashing of bones within the jaws could be heard. Only one fell victim to the shocking strength the Hollow wielded, with only very few capable of matching it.
However, none of them were there.
