373. Wolves Ain't Howl Alone

Starrk unleashes his attack upon Love and Rose before something unexpected happens.

Summary
Starrk's army of wolves attack and both Love and Rose put on their Hollow masks and fight them off. Rose releases his Zanpakuto and starts fighting them back easily. Though the wolves appear to be made of flames and restore themselves back together. Rose says he doesn't like all these magical attacks and does a Kido spell on one wolf. Love tells him that his Kido spells seem pretty magical to him and Rose argues that it's art rather than magic. They are caught by surprise and some of the wolves clamp down on Love's leg and Rose's Zanpakuto before detonating into a giant explosion. Barely escaping the explosion, Love suggests that those wolves were made out of Ceros. Suddenly more wolves appear behind them and explode right on them.

Starrk tells them that they are not Ceros, but parts of both Starrk and Lilynette's soul. Once the smoke cleared to reveal both Rose and Love bleeding, Starrk says they can run and he won't chase them. Love tells him to forget it and Starrk says he might as well finish them off. Before he can touch them, a blade pierces through Starrk's heart from behind.
