Chapter 503: Zanpakuto Release? You Sure This Isn't a Clothing Burst!
"Even if you intentionally chose a venue that allows me to showcase my full strength and did what you just did, I won't hold back against you."
"Moreover, should I say that your luck is quite terrible? The environment you chose is extremely unfavorable for you."
From the previous situation, Helibel had already realized that in terms of speed and spiritual pressure, it wouldn't be easy for her to defeat Night City in her normal state.
So, after hesitating for a moment, Helibel decided to release her Zanpakuto!
The so-called 'Zanpakuto Release' is actually the name of the Hollow Zanpakuto's liberation, and after liberation, the Hollow will return to its original form.
In normal circumstances, when a Hollow weaponizes their abilities, it is only in the Zanpakuto Release state that they can exert their strongest combat power.
"Expedition him, Empress Jellyfish!"
A vast yellow spiritual pressure erupted from Helibel like a fountain, surging straight towards the sky.
The immense spiritual pressure storm even caused the originally calm sea to churn up layer upon layer of waves, rippling outwards with Helibel at the center!
After releasing her Zanpakuto, Helibel's hideous mask on her face disappeared, revealing a stunningly beautiful face with deep blue lightning-like markings on her cheeks.
The white Moonlit Night Palace dress she originally wore also transformed into a bone mini-skirt in her Zanpakuto Release state, and the upper body's armor directly changed into a swimsuit style.
In a nutshell, Helibel's seductive aura after releasing her Zanpakuto was instantly maxed out compared to before.
With her stunning looks, fiery figure, barely-there clothing, and formidable fighting ability, Helibel would undoubtedly be a cover girl in the light novel world.
Unfortunately, there were no small groves around, or else Night City might have considered learning from Yagi's example of holding onto Zangetsu and engaging in some deep exchanges within the grove.
But upon careful consideration, they were currently on the vast, boundless sea, and there wasn't a soul in sight. Exchanging words in the open... that might not be a bad idea!
Seeing Night City's playful expression, Helibel didn't know what the Shinigami in front of her was thinking, but her intuition told her that what he had in mind would make her feel very uncomfortable!
Helibel used to have an icy expression, but after interacting with Night City for less than an hour, she felt like her mindset had already crumbled several times!
Holding a white greatsword with shark gill patterns, Helibel charged forward, and the surrounding seawater seemed to resist her, splitting into two sides!
After releasing her Zanpakuto, not only did Helibel's seductive aura increase, but the spiritual pressure emanating from her body also swelled to an astonishing level in an instant.
Before the attack even reached him, Night City could already feel an overwhelming spiritual pressure akin to the deep sea's crushing force rushing towards him!
"Fortune and misfortune are intertwined, reversing cause and effect. Beyond!"
"Ding!!!"
Just as Helibel thrust her shark gill-patterned greatsword towards Night City, parting the sea, Night City also instantly released his Zanpakuto.
The long sword in his hand split into two under a burst of spiritual pressure, and as Helibel's shark gill-patterned greatsword pierced towards Night City's chest, he crossed the two swords into an "X" shape to block the attack.
"Scorching Sea Current—!"
Although Helibel's giant shark gill-patterned sword was blocked, she didn't show the slightest concern. In the next instant, a raging, scorching hot current erupted from the tip of her sword, immediately enveloping Night City in front of her!
Facing the surging hot sea current, Night City took a flash step to leave his original position and appeared in the distant sky, immediately slashing out a "Crescent Sky Thrust"!
The crescent-shaped Spirit Particle Strike grew as it cut through the wind, splitting the seawater and plowing a deep trench on the sea's surface, hurtling towards Helibel.
Facing this attack, Helibel maintained her icy composure, and with a wave of her shark-gill patterned greatsword, a large amount of seawater transformed into a water barrier in front of her, directly blocking Yecheng's Crescent Sky Thrust.
The water barrier shattered under the impact of the crescent strike, turning into a torrential downpour that fell onto the sea's surface. At this moment, Helibel stretched out her hand again, and the falling raindrops suddenly seemed to freeze in mid-air, suspended in place.
Simultaneously, Helibel brandished her shark-gill patterned greatsword, and with the gust of wind created by her swing, the wide blade struck the raindrops, causing them to explode towards Yecheng like seawater.
The water, propelled by Helibel's spiritual energy, not only moved at an astonishing speed but also covered a wide and dense area.
"Yekai Sword Technique Style, Second Style: Defense!"
Yecheng wielded a long and a short sword, creating afterimages as he swung them rapidly. The high-speed dual-wielding even formed a visible sword aura barrier in front of Yecheng.
The raindrops, now accelerated and empowered by spiritual energy, resembled high-pressure water bullets.
As Yecheng's dual swords shattered these high-pressure water bullets in mid-air, they created sonic booms with each strike.
While Yecheng continued his elegant sword dance, cleaving through the incoming high-pressure water bullets, Helibel, with a loud spinning sound, appeared behind Yecheng, who was unprepared for her sudden movement.
"Triple Fog Spear!"
Helibel, holding her shark-gill patterned greatsword high, launched three consecutive high-pressure mist-like strikes.
For the first two strikes, Yecheng managed to block the first with his sword and dodge the second by sidestepping. However, for the third mist-like strike, he had nowhere to escape, and it hit the sea surface below.
"Boom———"
Yecheng plummeted into the sea at high speed, creating a massive splash that resembled a water column.
Looking down at the swirling vortex on the sea's surface, Helibel, with her eternal icy expression, hesitated for a moment before ultimately deciding against pursuing him.
In truth, her Triple Fog Spear could have aimed for Yecheng's neck or heart, but she chose not to.
Helibel wasn't sure why, perhaps because Yecheng had spared her earlier, so she was returning the favor.
Or maybe it was because Yecheng had chosen a battlefield that overwhelmingly favored her, giving her a significant advantage.
"Lord Aizen ordered me to capture a woman named Izumi Ise, not to kill the Shinigami.
Considering the advantageous environment you chose, which heavily favored my Empress Jellyfish, I've gained a significant upper hand. So, this time, I'll let it end here.
But if we meet again, I won't hold back."
As Helibel spoke these words, she was about to turn and leave, but just as she turned her head, she suddenly felt an astonishing spiritual pressure emanating from behind her.
