Chapter 504: Limit Release! The Astonished Sea King
Chapter 504: Limit Release! The Astonished Sea King
Helibel knew that Night City wouldn't die from her previous attack, but she also believed that the outcome was already decided.
Her "Empress Jellyfish" possessed the ability to control water currents and utilize water vapor in battle. In this vast and boundless ocean, she was like a sea queen...cough cough, a dragon king-like existence!
Night City's strength was indeed impressive, a fact that Helibel had to acknowledge. The fact that he could fight her for so long with a significantly weaker spiritual pressure and superb combat skills was proof of his prowess as a warrior.
However, unfortunately for Night City, in an environment like the ocean, it was impossible for him to defeat her "Empress Jellyfish." Moreover, his spiritual pressure was still inferior to hers.
Among the Ten Blades, there were still many who possessed integrity, and Helibel was undoubtedly one of them.
Aware that she had the advantage in this environment, Helibel didn't intend to take Night City's life. Instead, she planned to leave the outcome of their battle undecided for now.
But to her surprise, just as she was about to turn and leave, an astonishing spiritual pressure erupted from behind her.
No, to be more precise, the abyss-like spiritual pressure emanated from the seawater beneath her!
"Boom——————!"
Accompanied by a towering water column formed from the sea, Night City, drenched from head to toe, reappeared before Helibel.
What surprised Helibel even more was that Night City not only exuded intense spiritual pressure waves but also seemed completely unharmed! Logically, her "Triple Fog Spear" should have inflicted significant damage, even if it didn't hit his vital points.
But Night City, far from being gravely injured, didn't even have a scratch on him!
"Tia Hellibel, the Third Espada, with the ability 'Empress Jellyfish'... Do you think I'm unaware of your powers? Don't underestimate me! I chose this environment for our battle precisely to allow you to unleash your full strength. And do you really think I'd die so easily?"
As Night City emerged from the water, unharmed, Helibel stood in awe for a moment before maintaining her expressionless demeanor and said, "So that's the case. Does your Zanpakuto have healing abilities? But even so, what difference does it make? With your spiritual pressure barely comparable to a captain's, you're no match for me in this environment."
This wasn't arrogance on Helibel's part; she genuinely possessed such strength. As the No. 3 among the Ten Blades, Helibel was a Vasto Lorde Hollow in the Hollow Realm, even before her Hollowification.
During the final battle in Karakura Town, after enduring Winter Lion Lang's ultimate move, "Frost Heaven Hundred Flowers Burial," she broke free from the ice and fought Winter Lion Lang, Yosiri, and Rissa, three against one, without defeat.
Helibel indeed didn't consider ordinary captain-level spiritual pressure to be a threat.
If it weren't for her divided attention during her battle with Winter Lion Lang, worrying about her subordinates, the young boy wouldn't have been able to hold his own against Helibel for so long.
The current Helibel, standing on the ocean's surface, was much stronger than she had been in the Karakura Town battle. The abundant water vapor here allowed her to utilize her powers to the fullest.
"It's probably about time, right? You must have felt it too, the gradual increase in my spiritual pressure.
The reason is simple. Captain Rukia Kuchiki's application for 'Limit Release' must have been approved by the Soul Society."
To prevent the powerful Spiritual Pressure of Shinigami from affecting the Human World, those of Lieutenant rank and above have a Limit Seal applied before arriving in the Human World, reducing their Spiritual Pressure by eighty percent."
Upon hearing Ye Cheng's words, Helibel widened her eyes, looking at the man before her.
As Helibel's eyes widened in surprise, Ye Cheng slowly raised his arm, showing her a blue seal that was gradually disappearing: "You're right, the me who was fighting you just now could only exert twenty percent of my strength.
But now, with the 'Limit Release', I can fight with my full power!"
Almost as soon as Ye Cheng finished speaking, a massive Spiritual Pressure erupted from him like a flood breaching a dam.
Feeling the surge of Spiritual Pressure from Ye Cheng, Helibel, who had previously claimed that her own pressure was superior, now showed a hint of surprise on her previously expressionless face.
As for Ye Cheng, who was in the midst of this Spiritual Pressure storm, he unleashed his power without restraint while calmly explaining: "I chose to fight you on the sea surface for two reasons. One is to allow your 'Empress Jellyfish' to exert its full power.
The other is for my own sake. After 'Limit Release', without the protection of a Barrier, I might just destroy the entire city!"
After a brief surge of Spiritual Pressure, Ye Cheng's power stabilized at a certain limit.
Feeling Ye Cheng's current pressure, Helibel's face turned solemn, and she readied herself for battle.
"No problem. His Spiritual Pressure has increased significantly compared to before, but it's probably just on par with mine. In this maritime environment, her 'Empress Jellyfish' won't lose!"
"It seems you're ready. I'm about to attack, so don't blink!"
As Helibel mentally prepared herself, Ye Cheng's words were barely spoken when his figure vanished from her sight.
At the same moment, Helibel sensed the danger and hastily swung her Empress Jellyfish to block.
"Ding——————!"
With sparks flying, a Zanpakuto suddenly slashed down upon Helibel's Shark-Tooth Sword, and the force transmitted through the blade sent her flying dozens of meters away.
Helibel's body slid across the sea surface, and when she managed to stabilize herself, her heels kicked up a huge splash.
"So fast, and the power is completely different from before!"
"Battle Dew!!"
Standing on the sea surface, Helibel struggled to keep her eyes on the swiftly moving Ye Cheng. She raised her Empress Jellyfish, creating a stream of water from the shark-tooth pattern that formed water cannonballs, firing them at Ye Cheng.
Each water cannonball exploded on the sea surface, creating towering splashes, but unfortunately, even though Helibel's technique was already very fast, it could only hit Ye Cheng's heels.
Although her eyes could barely follow Ye Cheng's Flash Step, her body couldn't quite keep up.
