As Pereza threw himself into the air, he realized too late that he had left himself open to more attacks. He felt the hand of the shinigami on his back, and at the same time he saw a bright light glint off of a metal tube heading towards him, one that he had not seen before. I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place, that's for sure. Pereza stuck both of his hands out in front of the block of energy heading towards him, unleashing a large force of telekinetic energy that successfully dissipated Sacred Bite. Unfortunately, he used up a lot of energy to counter that attack, and he didn't have enough to counter the other one coming from behind. Pereza was able to create a thin wall of telekinetic energy from behind, just enough to mitigate the brute strength of Roga's kick. He gritted his teeth, hoping that his shell would survive the impact.
The kick sent Pereza rocketing to the ground, crashing into it and sending a shower of rubble and dust into the air. At the center of the crater, Pereza got onto his knees, reaching into his mouth and taking out a broken tooth. Though his shell had cracked in the area where Roga had kicked it, it seemed intact overall. "You insects are making it harder for yourselves." Pereza disappeared inside of his shell and took control of it, shooting out of the crater at an incredible speed and aiming for the captain in the air.
