Chapter 345: Who told you my Zanpakuto only has one ability?
Looking at Yecheng, who was still alive despite being hit in the heart, Hira Subcommander felt a chill, but was not overly discouraged.
At least for now, they didn't seem to be without hope of victory, and one could even say their chances of winning were quite high.
Hira also realized that Yecheng's Zanpakuto ability was not invincible, and as she had expected, it consumed Aura when used.
The greater the cause and effect reversal, the more Aura Yecheng consumed. The Aura he restored after hitting her heart was much more than what Aikawa Raibu had used earlier.
Indeed, the more powerful the ability, the greater the cost, or else it would have a huge side effect.
The significant amount of Aura Yecheng had just consumed also indirectly proved that Hira's battle plan was not wrong.
Whether or not they could kill Yecheng was not important; from now on, they just had to find ways to make him use his Zanpakuto ability several more times, and he would eventually be drained.
In the following battle, the Menos Grande members fought with Hira and Makoto Hihoko as the main attackers, supported by Aikawa Raibu and Nishiri.
As time passed, Yecheng's injuries became more numerous, and his Aura consumption increased significantly.
However, it's difficult for one's perception to change, but humans also have strong adaptability.
After hundreds of rounds of combat, Yecheng sustained many injuries, but Hira and Makoto were not in a much better state.
Although their injuries were not as numerous as Yecheng's, he had also left them with quite a few wounds.
Moreover, Hira and Makoto had not expected that Yecheng, who was not from the Fourth Division, could use "Return Path" and enhance his endurance without using his Zanpakuto ability for non-critical injuries.

But as the battle dragged on, Hira began to realize that her attacks were becoming less effective in causing serious wounds to Yecheng.
Towards the end, Hira found that it was becoming increasingly difficult to land a hit on Yecheng, who was gradually adapting to the ability.
Since learning to release his Zanpakuto, Hira had never encountered a monster like Yecheng.
Not only was he like an immortal beast, but his strength and Aura were also exceptionally strong. Not only were his combat skills outrageous, but his learning and adaptability were also so strong; how could others compete?
"So what if he adapts? This baldy's Aura has already been weakened by more than half compared to the beginning.
As long as he can't use his shameless Zanpakuto ability, he'll eventually be taken care of by us!"
Upon hearing Hira's words, Nishiri was unconcerned. She could sense that due to his numerous injuries, Yecheng's Aura had already been significantly weakened compared to before.
As long as they could deal with Yecheng's troublesome Zanpakuto ability, the victory would ultimately be theirs.
As soon as Nishiri finished speaking, the mask on her face suddenly cracked like porcelain, followed by a loud "crack" as it shattered into pieces.
Both Hira Subcommander and Aikawa Raibu, standing beside Nishiri, were equally baffled. "What's going on, Nishiri? Don't let us down at this critical moment.
Your Hollowification should still have some duration left, right? Why did it end so quickly?"
The duration of Hollowification varies from person to person but can be extended with improved control over Hollow power. According to Hira's understanding, Nishiri's Hollowification should not have reached its limit yet.
"Shut up, baldy! How would I know what's happening? Wait, something's wrong with my aura..."
Nishiri, sensing that she should be able to re-enter Hollowification, reached out to create another mask on her face. However, as her aura gathered on her face, it shattered like fragments.
It was then that Nishiri realized, to her astonishment, that her aura had been weakened to such an extent.
"Hira, something's not right. To be honest, I've been feeling a sense of dissonance since the beginning, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. It's only now, seeing Nishiri like this, that I understand the problem.
Don't you find it strange? Using Hira's Zanpakuto's ability, we've been continuously injuring our opponent, thereby depleting their aura.
And their aura has indeed been significantly weakened compared to the beginning. In theory, our advantage should have increased, right? But in reality, although their aura is weakening, we haven't gained a corresponding advantage. Instead, we're struggling more as the fight goes on. What do you think is the reason for this?"
Aikawa Raibu, the former Shinigami Captain, had an eccentric sense of aesthetics, but his observational skills were undeniably impressive.
"That guy's aura has indeed been depleted, but the reason we haven't gained the advantage is that our aura has also weakened!
No, to be precise, our aura is gradually being weakened, and because it's a continuous process, we didn't notice it!"
Upon Aikawa Raibu's reminder, Hira Subcommander finally realized something was amiss with her body.
Hira, being a meticulous thinker, should have noticed this earlier, but her mind had been occupied with finding a way to deal with Yecheng.

However, why was their aura suddenly and inexplicably weakening?
Undoubtedly, this was the doing of their opponent, Yecheng, but Hira couldn't figure out how he had achieved this.
"It seems you've noticed the reason for your aura's weakening.
You wanted to drag the battle into a war of attrition, depleting my aura, but you didn't consider that my objective was similar to yours.
From the very beginning, you've been walking into my trap. My Zanpakuto, 'Other Shore,' has a powerful ability to turn disadvantages into advantages, right?
It's because of this exceptional ability that you've been focusing your attention on it. But when did I ever say that my Other Shore only has this one ability?"
