Chapter 425 Death
The situation in the field was clear at a glance.
The Phantom Troupe, who came with the momentum of winning, was shattered by Moyu's strength, and the initial numerical advantage and the carefully prepared encirclement plan were shattered.
Now, the pressure of wartime shifted to Kuroro and other spiders.
After a short meditation, Moyu's potential energy recovered a little.
In a non-combat state, it can theoretically release about 10 seconds of strength.
In a combat state, the ideal duration is 3~5 seconds.
It is obviously unrealistic to use this level of potential energy in multiple rounds of fierce battles.
But it is enough to completely kill Kuroro's thoughts under such circumstances.
That's right--
No matter how Kuroro racked his brains, he could not think of any way to kill Moyu at the moment.
There seemed to be only two choices left in front of him.
One is a meaningless fight to the death, and the other is to retain as much strength as possible and wait for the next opportunity for revenge.
Kuroro looked at Moyu expressionlessly, and the Thief's Ultimate on his right hand turned into a mottled light spot and disappeared.
The shield ability effect of "I resist everything" collapsed, and then it would enter the cooling period, so in order to use other Nen abilities, it was inevitable to cancel the Thief's Ultimate first.
This is also an unavoidable restriction in the use of Thief's Ultimate.
In addition, once the Nen ability that requires both hands is stolen, it is impossible to use the two-handed Nen ability due to another restriction of "the book must be held in the right hand".
These restrictions from the Thief's Ultimate will greatly limit the combat power that Kuroro can show in battle.
If he can "free his hands", not only can he use physical skills more efficiently, but he will also have more "choices"...
The feeling of powerlessness at this moment made Kuroro realize that he must make changes in his "ability".
If he can survive this crisis...
As Kuroro's thoughts turned, the Nen power on his right hand surged and quickly turned into the Thief's Ultimate.
Moyu did not take the initiative to attack, and was still in the state of "destruction".
He looked at Kuroro carefully, and could clearly see the old and decayed face and the half-white hair on his face. Even the state of "showing his aura" was not as vigorous as before.
"So that's it..."
Moyu understood the fundamental reason why Kuroro resisted two rounds of Hundred Styles of Guanyin Ninety-nine Palms.
He must have used some kind of Nen ability that could offset the damage at the cost of his life.
Since the Nen ability of others can be sealed in the book and used at any time, it is the most normal operation to seal a wave of life-saving skills.
It's just that the price of this life-saving skill is too heavy...
However, for a dying person, life span or premature aging are not so important.
Moyu turned his eyes and looked at Kurapika and Menqi, made an attacking gesture towards them, and then made the same gesture to Xiaodi behind him.
Seeing Moyu's gesture, Xiaodi nodded slightly, then took the bulge-eye fish in his hand and rushed to Kuroro who held the Thief's Ultimate in his right hand.
Menqi, who was still some distance away from the center of the battle circle, saw this scene, raised her eyebrows, and shouted in a low voice:
"You silly goose, a materialization system, why are you rushing? Let me use the "mind bullet" to clear the way first!"
Before she finished speaking, Menqi had already gathered the mind power between her hands.
And Kurapika's reaction was faster than her, manipulating the "Echo Chain" to launch a non-charged shooting effect similar to the "Godspeed Gun" again.
Swish——
The blade-shaped chain suddenly broke through the air and shot towards Kuroro.
For a moment, Xiaodi, Menqi, and Kurapika launched a siege against Kuroro.
On the contrary, Moyu, who had just come out of the "meditation" state, stood still and did not seem to have any intention of taking action.
On the one hand, it was to continue to restore the potential capacity, and on the other hand, he had lost interest in Kuroro now.
If he was looking for a one-on-one victory, then...
When he was under siege, Moyu had actually won the so-called one-on-one victory from Kuroro.
If he was looking for an opportunity to become stronger in the fierce battle, then...
Kuroro's current state obviously could not satisfy Moyu.
So under the premise that Kuroro must be killed, Moyu chose to let Kurapika, Xiaodi, and Menqi work together to deal with Kuroro now, and take this opportunity to recover more potential.
After all, there were three other members of the Phantom Troupe in the field.
Kuroro faced the siege from Xiaodi and the other two, and what he feared most was Moyu who was still standing still and maintaining the "Zuo" state.
Before he could think too much, Kuroro flipped the pages of the book while moving his body sideways to avoid the bullets flying from behind and the blade-shaped chains coming from the side and back.
The bullet passed by Kuroro and hit the wall of the audience in the distance, causing a violent explosion.
The "Chain of Echoes" controlled by Kurapika also failed to restrict Kuroro's movements.
But the existence of the chain itself is a threat that cannot be ignored. Even if it cannot get close to Kuroro, as long as the distance is short, it means that Kurapika can "move" over at any time.
Kuroro just dodged the double attack from the bullet and the chain, and Xiaodi came in front of him waving the bulge-eye fish.
"Chiu!"
The bulging-eyed fish screamed, and its air intake mouth full of sharp teeth smashed down on Chrollo's head.
Chrollo suddenly turned sideways.
The bulging-eyed fish air intake fell straight in front of Chrollo and hit the ground heavily.
Bang!
The air inlet of the bulging-eyed fish entwined with telekinesis suddenly shattered the ground, and a lot of gravel was blown away by the impact, flying to both sides of Xiaodi's face.
It didn't hit...
Xiaodi exerted force with both hands, trying to lift the bulging-eyed fish and sweep it towards Chrollo, who was very close at hand.
However, Chrollo took the first step and stepped on the bulging fish's vacuum pipe.
The force exerted on it prevented Xiaodi from lifting the bulging-eyed fish immediately, let alone connecting the attack.
"Spit out the rocks."
The moment the bulging-eyed fish's vacuum pipe was stepped on, a ray of light flashed across the eyes behind the small drop lenses, and he quickly issued an order.
However, Chrollo suddenly exerted force on the soles of his feet, stepped on the vacuum duct of the Big-Eyed Fish, and violently attacked Xiaodi who was holding the Big-Eyed Fish.
But at this moment, the bulging-eyed fish, which obeyed Xiaodi's order, spit out a big stone.
This huge stone suddenly came out of the air inlet on the ground and pushed the front end of the bulging-eyed fish upwards.
Chrollo, who stepped on the bulging-eye fish vacuum pipe, was also pushed up. He suddenly lost his balance and jumped forward with his entire upper body.
Xiaodi raised his head slightly and looked calmly at Chrollo, who was flying towards him. He decisively released his left hand holding the bulging-eyed fish, and immediately pushed forward and hit Chrollo's chest with a palm.
Chrollo remained calm in the face of danger. Even though his body was out of balance, he raised his left elbow and accurately resisted Xiaodi's palm.
Bang!
The palms and elbows collided, making a muffled sound.
Chrollo glanced at Xiaodi's face with cold eyes, and actually used Xiaodi's palm as a support point to support his forward-leaning upper body, then stepped back and stood on the stone spit out by the bulging-eyed fish.
He wanted to use the foothold brought by the stone to attack Xiaodi again, but Kurapika's chain of echoes flew over from the side.
Chrollo sensed the danger and could only give up his intention of continuing to attack. Instead, he jumped back off the stone and dodged the chains coming from the side.
Falling from mid-air to the ground, Chrollo steadied his body and saw another mental bullet coming towards him. He moved his body laterally, narrowly avoiding the mental bullet.
Being so besieged by Xiaodi, Kurapika, and Menqi, Chrollo still failed to activate the ability of the thief's ultimate intention.
After all, he still couldn't ignore the potential threat from Moyu, and under the obstruction of these three people, it was difficult to find an opportunity to attack Moyou.
Xiaodi watched Chrollo being forced back by the teleportation bullets and chains, while his little mind was thinking about the attack and defense just now.
If Kurapika and Menchi hadn't come to his aid in time, Chrollo might have caught the opportunity.
"This guy is really awesome."
Xiaodi can always give his enemies a fairly objective evaluation without any personal preference.
"But Moyu is stronger."
She felt the strength of Chrollo from the previous attack and defense, and then thought that Moyu could suppress Chrollo with less and more.
Therefore, we can conclude that Moyu is more powerful than Chrollo.
While Xiaodi was thinking to herself, she held the bulging-eye fish and rushed towards Chrollo again.
Chrollo frowned slightly, and the haunting sound of chains came to his ears again.
He gradually felt the difficulty.
Not only because of the cost of the voodoo doll’s abilities, but also because of its potential energy level, which is almost reaching the yellow line...
And Moyu, who had taken a short rest, might attack him at any time.
At the edge of the battle circle.
Moyu looked calmly at Chrollo who was surrounded by Kurapika and the others.
From his perspective, it can be seen that Chrollo's current state is indeed not very good. His offense is not as sharp as before, and his defense also seems particularly reluctant.
From this point of view, defeat is only a matter of time.
So whether he takes action or not is actually the difference between Chrollo dying early or dying late.
Thinking of this, Moyu turned his eyes, first looking at Hua Shi Doulang, who made the loudest noise.
The two enhanced types, Huashi Doulang and Valbo, were fighting back and forth, and there was basically no intact seat in sight.
Withdrawing his gaze, Moyu turned to look at Hisoka. He could vaguely see a faint smile on Hisoka's face, obviously enjoying the fight with Ma Qi.
"I enjoyed it very much."
Moyu raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking about whether to snatch Madge from Hisoka after his "potential energy" recovered more.
Without thinking much, Moyu finally looked at the battle situation on Bisji's side, and saw two black figures moving and fighting at high speed.
"Well……"
Moyu raised his hand and put it on his chin.
He thought there was no need for him to take action on Chrollo's side.
It would be a good thing to let Chrollo taste the feeling of being besieged in this way, and then go to hell with unwillingness.
On the contrary, it was the other three battle circles within the venue...
At present, it seems that it is difficult to win or lose in a short time.
So as long as the potential energy is restored to a certain level, you may be able to consider stepping in.
According to Moyu's judgment, the easiest thing to intervene should be the battle between Huashi Doulang and Wapol.
The two strengthening systems are evenly matched, so just adding a straw can make the battle situation clear, and then snowball, ending the battle in a short time.
But Moyu saw that Huashi Doulang was enjoying the fight, so it was hard for him to intervene.
As for the battle between Hisoka and Madge...
Moyu would take Hanashi Douro's feelings into consideration, but Hisoka would forget it.
But then considering that Hisoka, a tool man, is quite competent in many cases, and he also provides a lot of information as the second-in-command in the brigade, it would be a bit unreasonable if this would ruin his interest.
Moyu shook his head slightly, thinking that he would just let Hisoka have some fun.
After all, the target he wanted to attack most now was neither Chrollo nor Madge, but Feitan, who was being restrained by Bisji.
But before that, let's calm down and restore our potential energy, and then take advantage of the situation to overwhelm Kurapika and the others.
Although in Chrollo's current state, it is impossible to escape the storm.
But there is no guarantee that Kuroro still has a trump card to counterattack in desperate situations, or a trump card to escape.
In order to prevent this from happening, Moyu felt that it was necessary to keep an eye on Chrollo before attacking Feitan.
Under the siege of Kurapika, Menqi, and Xiaodi, Chrollo's situation became increasingly difficult.
Kurapika's eyes were blood red as he frantically looked for an opportunity to tie Chrollo with chains.
The flaming red eye state can bring an amplification effect to his thoughts, but it will also put his body in a state of high load.
Now Kurapika is actually on the verge of reaching his limit.
It's just that he has been gritting his teeth and holding on with his extremely strong willpower.
We won't stop until we kill Chrollo!
This was the only thought in Kurapika's mind.
Although Kurapika's telekinesis ability has always been operating at a high intensity, Chrollo, who is not a human being, is still keenly aware of Kurapika's state.
He didn't know that Kurapika had actually only learned nen for a few months, and he only judged that Kurapika's condition was unstable based on changes in the battle situation.
"Breakthrough..."
After making this judgment, Chrollo found an opportunity, first avoiding the entanglement from Menqi and Xiaodi, and then used his ability to teleport to Kurapika's left side at the moment Kurapika controlled the chain to attack.
Using your dominant hand to control the chain will inevitably leave your left side unprotected.
Chrollo's left palm lingered with telekinesis, and he swung his palm to Kurapika's neck very neatly.
While taking action, he was always on guard against Moyu's movements.
If there wasn't such a stone holding him down, he shouldn't have been so passive.
But now as long as a hostage can be controlled, the hostage can be used as material to make a trap for Moyu...
Facing Chrollo's suddenly accelerated thunder blow, Kurapika's pupils shrank sharply, and when he reacted, he did not make any defense in the extremely limited time, but instead attacked brazenly.
Even if it means death...
I will drag you into hell too!
Chrollo read this will from Kurapika's counterattack, but he didn't care at all.
The slashing sword did not stop due to Kurapika's counterattack.
but--
The palm that was supposed to fall on Kurapika's neck suddenly flew upward.
To be more precise, the entire arm was flying upwards with a stream of blood.
"Um!?"
Chrollo's indifferent and ice-like face couldn't help but reveal a hint of astonishment. He looked in the direction of his flying arms and saw Mo Yuna's figure holding a black knife.
Even though he was always on guard, he couldn't sense any aura or killing intent before he was hit?
This knife was too fast to react.
While Chrollo was shocked, he vaguely felt that something had happened to Moyu that he didn't understand.
next moment.
Chrollo felt a slight pain in his chest. He looked down and saw a chain going straight into his chest.
He slowly raised his eyes, followed the chain, and saw Kurapika's bright red eyes.
The hatred and anger in those eyes...
It has also happened to me.
Feeling the passage of life, the shock on Chrollo's face faded away, replaced by calmness, a calmness that was not afraid of death at all.
only--
However, the image of the tortured and dismembered body of his childhood friend flashed across his mind inexplicably.
"Is this the end..."
Chrollo murmured in his heart.
Kurapika looked at Chrollo's reaction as calm as dead water, his breathing became rapid at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his chest also rose and fell violently.
he was thinking.
When the man in front of him was killing his compatriots, was he the same as he is now? He was so indifferent that he didn't even care about his own life, like a cold robot without any human emotions...
Why, why...!
Even when the chain was pierced into Chrollo's heart, Kurapika did not feel the pleasure of getting revenge at all. Instead, there was an unspeakable extreme anger in his chest.
There was blood oozing from the corner of Chrollo's mouth. He ignored the intense Kurapika and turned his head to look at Moyu.
"If you don't want anything to happen to him... you'd better... kill me with your own hands."
Chrollo's voice gradually became weak, and in his slightly blurred vision, he could see some ash-like black things floating around him.
These ashes-like things are not thoughts after death, but the embers of evil spirits.
When the number reaches a certain level, it will become the carrier of evil spirits...
When Chrollo took away the ability of "Voodoo Doll", he also transferred the evil spirits that were haunting the owner of the original ability into the thief's mind.
Unexpectedly, these evil spirits would appear before he was about to die, and showed a tendency to transfer to Kurapika.
But if possible——
Kuroro sincerely hoped that these evil spirits could entangle Moyu, so he said that to Moyu.
Kurapika could also see the ash floating from Kuroro, but he didn't care at all, but stared at Kuroro's face.
In just one or two seconds, the flying ash-like things floating around turned into evil spirits with different shapes and dark features at a speed visible to the naked eye.
They slowly approached Kurapika along the chain.
Moyu flashed over, glanced at the evil spirits of various shapes, and then looked at Kuroro.
"Your humble hope before death..."
Moyu took a step forward and raised his hand to block the evil spirits.
The evil spirits that were crawling in the air looked at Moyu's palm, and their empty features suddenly twisted slightly, revealing human fear.
Then, under Kuroro's absent-minded gaze, the evil spirits were like spring snow under the sun, melting into nothingness quickly.
Moyu looked at Kuroro's reaction and said calmly:
"Is it useful?"
It's a bit difficult to write, so I won't fill in the details. I'll send Kuroro off in one chapter.
