Hollow White Cowered at the Sight of Yoru Machi

"Tier Harribel's Tiburón can gather moisture from the atmosphere and use it..."

Before Yoru Machi could finish speaking, Ichigo, who was quite quick-witted when it came to battle, looked around at their surroundings and immediately understood what Yoru Machi meant.

The area they were currently in was an endless desert! In a place like this, it was not that there was absolutely no moisture in the air—it was simply so scarce as to be negligible.

The power of Tiburón's techniques depended on atmospheric moisture, so it went without saying that their power would be greatly reduced in this environment.

And the battle that followed proved that Yoru Machi's judgment had been entirely correct.

Whether it was Sea Dragon's Roar or Waterfall Severance, Tier Harribel's powerful techniques were originally capable of releasing vast expanses of water. Not only could they heavily injure her enemies, but they could also alter the terrain.

As long as the terrain became a watery region, Tier Harribel's techniques would not only become more powerful, but their spiritual pressure consumption would also be greatly reduced.

That was why Yoru Machi had previously said that Tier Harribel was at her strongest when fighting above the sea.

But what about now? Moisture was already scarce in the desert, so if Tier Harribel wanted to gather more water, she could only expend even more spiritual pressure.

And once those water-based techniques were unleashed, the parched desert around them swiftly absorbed them completely, unable to raise even the slightest wave.

Nnoitra, on the other hand, was different. His Resurrección form was inherently geared toward direct attacks, so environmental factors did not affect him at all.

At the beginning, when he kept his distance from Tier Harribel, he had indeed suffered some injuries from several attacks by Tiburón.

But injuries like that
