Chapter 487 Absolute Gap

When the indescribable aura and the pain in the right shoulder converged on the nerves, Kate deeply understood the horror of Neferpido.

It was impossible to defeat such a monster without an arm.

This was Kate's thought at the time.

So he was ready to die to delay time for Killua and Gon.

But Neferpido gave him a chance to breathe.

"Bang bang bang...!"

The muzzle of the gun was above Neferpido, and Kate kept pulling the trigger.

The flames that gushed out at close range flashed frequently on his face.

"There is a chance..."

The gunfire was reflected in Kate's eyes.

The so-called curiosity killed the cat...

The words and deeds of the monster in front of him proved this sentence.

Kate naturally had to seize the opportunity given by the other party.

Judgment, timing, and... the luck of shaking the magic wand.

Kate would cherish these conditions, and then do her best to make up for the gap and solve the monster under the gunfire!

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Kate's pupils shrank sharply, and she bent her elbows suddenly, holding the strangely shaped buttstock horizontally in front of her.

Bang——!

A whip-like black shadow lashed Kate's buttstock horizontally in front of her, accompanied by a deafening dull sound, and an extremely strong impact force was transmitted to Kate's arm through the buttstock.

In an instant, a needle-like pain spread throughout Kate's arm nerves, and then the whole person flew backwards under this impact.

"Tail...?!"

When flying backwards, Kate barely saw the true face of the whip-like black shadow.

Even the slender and slender tail has such strength...

Kate was shocked and adjusted his posture in mid-air, and finally landed steadily, sliding more than ten meters away before stopping.

In the process from moving to still, the hat on his head flew off, and his long silver hair slowly fell on his shoulders and back in the shape of branches and leaves while stabilizing his body.

At the same time

Neferpidou, who had whipped Kate away with his tail, was able to escape the suppression of firepower, stood up from the ground, and then turned to look at Kate, who was blown away more than 20 meters.

The look he gave Kate was full of surprise and a little calmness.

And Kate looked at Neferpidou with only solemnity.

The intensive firepower attack at close range could not cause any substantial damage...

Kate stared at Neferpidou, who was safe and sound, with solemn eyes.

The eyes of the two intertwined in mid-air.

The hat that had been taken off Kate's head fell from the air at this moment, just in time to break into the place where the eyes of the two intertwined.

Swish——

When the hat was still two or three meters away from the ground, Neferpidou and Kate disappeared almost at the same time, leaving only a circle of cyclones that stirred around.

The next moment.

The hat that should have landed safely on the ground was split into two in silence.

Then, a burst of air force suddenly pushed the hat that was split into two to both sides. At first glance, it seemed as if two ropes were pulling the hat that was split into two halves away.

When the hat was blown away by the air force, Neferpidou and Kate's figures suddenly appeared at the point where the hat fell.

Clang!

Where the sparks burst, Neferpidou's claws were pressing hard on Kate's gun butt that was more like a paddle in front of her.

"You are very powerful, meow."

Neferpidou's eyes passed over the gun butt and fell on Kate's face.

She was obviously in the upper hand. Just by showing her magnanimity and physical fitness, she could directly suppress Kate's gun handle used for defense.

The appearance of the No. 4 weapon long gun was very strange. Most of the gun body, including the barrel, looked like a pistol with a silencer installed.

And the gun handle extending from the gun body was magnified several times. Not only was the length more than an astonishing one meter, but the width and thickness were also abnormal.

However, it is precisely this unusual appearance that gives Kate the capital to defend in close combat.

Kate used the paddle-shaped buttstock to resist Neferpidou's strength. She wanted to wrestle with Neferpidou while slightly turning the muzzle to shoot Neferpidou's calf, but she was completely at a disadvantage in terms of strength.

"Avoid head-on confrontation as much as possible."

Kate, who only has one arm, can hardly face Neferpidou's edge.

He suddenly turned sideways and revoked the crazy clown's ability at the same time.

Accompanied by the overflowing white smoke and the sound of game special effects, the broad buttstock disappeared out of thin air.

And Neferpidou, who suddenly lost his point of support, was inevitably driven forward by his own strength, and lost his balance.

Kate leaned sideways, looked at Neferpidou with a squint, and waved her hand with a palm knife full of condensed mental power to chop Neferpidou's back.

Bang!

Neferpidou, who was already unbalanced, flew forward immediately.

At this time, Kate maintained the forward palm chopping action, and directly transformed the telekinesis lingering on her palm used for attack just now, and materialized the crazy clown.

"I need No. 2 or No. 8 now..."

Kate's mind turned, and her eyes were directed at the flying Neferpidou.

No. 6's right-angle boomerang and No. 4's spear could not cause substantial damage to Neferpidou.

Then we can only put our hope on the sharpness of No. 2's Death Scythe and the No. 8 long sword that has not yet been shaken out.

"Dulululu..."

The wheel in the mouth of the crazy clown spun quickly, and the number was frozen in less than a second.

"No. 7 Hammer"

A heavy hammer appeared in Kate's hand.

"Ahahaha, it seems that you have been abandoned by the goddess of luck."

Seeing Kate shake out the hammer with the worst adaptability at the moment, the crazy clown at the end of the hammer handle laughed with gloating.

As the carrier of various weapons, the crazy clown knew that if Kate could shake out the No. 2 Death Scythe at this time, she could connect the foreshadowing of the previous attack and let "Death Waltz" hit Neferpido who had no time to defend.

Unfortunately, the luck was too bad, and she shook out the most inappropriate hammer.

At this moment, not only could she not launch a combo in the first time, but she also had to consider how to meet the conditions of canceling the hammer and shaking the weapon again in the battle.

After all, Kate now only has one arm, and it is still the left arm. It is still very difficult to make the best use of it.

"..."

Ignoring the laughter of the crazy clown, Kate frowned and held the handle of the heavy hammer with one hand with great effort.

Losing his dominant hand at the beginning had a great impact on this first-class Nen ability user who was proficient in fighting.

If "luck" was not on his side...

He would really be at the end of his rope!

Kate stopped where she was, of course she couldn't chase with the heavy hammer.

Neferpido turned over in mid-air and landed steadily, but she was wondering why Kate didn't seize this chance to chase.

She looked back and saw the heavy weapon in Kate's hand, and immediately understood the reason.

"You can conjure up a variety of weapons, but you can't choose freely, meow... Isn't it better to have abilities as convenient as possible?"

Neferpido raised his finger to his chin, without any awareness of being in a fierce battle, and asked Kate curiously: "So why did you create such a troublesome ability?"

She was born not long ago and knew nothing about the Nen ability system, so it was naturally impossible for her to know the existence of "Oath and Restriction".

And Kate couldn't explain to Neferpidou in a life-and-death battle, so she stared at Neferpidou with full concentration.

The next confrontation...

He had to use the heavy hammer to meet the conditions for withdrawal.

But holding the hammer in one hand was obviously not suitable for active attack, so he could only seek opportunities in defense and counterattack.

Neferpidou didn't know what Kate was thinking, and seeing that Kate was unwilling to answer questions, he had to give up.

The battle continued--!

Neferpidou kicked his feet and shot towards Kate like lightning.

Her combat experience was still blank, and she could only fight according to animal instincts.

And the attack method that animals are best at is naturally pouncing and clawing.

In contrast, Kate is an experienced biological hunter and has a very clear understanding of the "hunting style" of creatures.

On this premise, she has rich combat experience, so even if Neferpidou is very fast, Kate can rely on experience to understand Neferpidou's attack trajectory.

Apart from anything else, just paying attention to the flow of "qi" on Neferpidou's body can collect a lot of information in an instant.

Experience——

is Kate's capital to narrow the gap in hardware and prolong the fighting time.

Facing Neferpido's lightning attack, Kate took a step back, swung her arms and lifted the hammer upwards, blocking Neferpido's attack trajectory.

Neferpido's straight forward palm tip immediately hit the heavy hammer.

Clang!

Sparks flew where the two touched.

Although Kate defended in time, Neferpido's manifested temperament and physical fitness were too strong, and the impact force generated by this attack made the heavy hammer bounce upwards.

Without the protection of the heavy hammer, Kate was immediately exposed.

But this situation was within Kate's expectations.

When the heavy hammer was hit, he consciously swung his arms to adjust the angle, and at the same time released the telekinesis on his feet to increase the grip.

So that when the hammer bounced, his body also swept backwards at a low altitude, temporarily widening the distance between him and Neferpido.

Neferpido took this scene in his eyes, and then, driven by instinct, he pushed off the ground with one foot and chased Kate, who was exposed to the open goal.

But at this moment, Kate, who was flying low in the sky, suddenly stretched out her feet and pressed hard against the ground.

Immediately -

He twisted his waist and swung the heavy hammer in his hand in a half circle with the arm angle adjusted in advance when defending, and hit the chest of Neferpido who was chasing him.

Bang!

A jellyfish-shaped air wave visible to the naked eye suddenly rose in front of Neferpido's chest. In the face of this fierce force, she flew backwards without any resistance, breaking several large trees along the way.

Kate succeeded in her attack and directly released the handle of the heavy hammer driven by centrifugal force.

Whoosh -

The heavy hammer that was released from her hand flew into the air like a sharp arrow.

Kate thought and revoked her ability.

The heavy hammer that almost caused him a lot of trouble suddenly turned into telekinesis in the air and returned to his body at a very fast speed.

"Dululu..."

The crazy clown materialized above Kate's palm again.

"You can't always have such bad luck? Ahaha!"

Amid the crazy clown's noise, the number wheel froze on "8".

"No. 8 Long Knife"

With the familiar game special effect sound, a long knife appeared and was held in Kate's hand.

Like the spear, hammer, sickle, boomerang and other weapons, the volume of this long sword is twice that of the normal one.

The length of the blade alone is an astonishing 1.5 meters.

The head of the crazy clown that will merge with the weapon appears on the guard of the long sword, making the long sword that should be domineering have a little more funny feeling.

Kate held the long sword horizontally in front of her, with her eyes focused on telekinesis, looking in the direction where Neferpidou flew out.

From his position, he can clearly see the outline of Neferpidou's telekinesis, which is still surging and powerful.

"Still... no effect?"

Based on the state of Neferpidou's telekinesis, Kate understood that the heavy blow just now was still ineffective.

The defense is ridiculously strong...

You don't even need "hardness" to easily resist his repeated attacks.

If you can't even break the defense, then how can you win this monster?

Kate exhaled lightly, holding the sword horizontally and concentrating.

Where the tree fell.

Neferpidou stood up, but did not rush to attack. Instead, he habitually raised his finger to his chin, his eyes showing a thoughtful look.

"He seems to be able to 'read' my thoughts."

In the consecutive rounds of confrontation, Neferpidou was always the one who was beaten.

Compared with the insignificant injuries, Neferpidou was more concerned about Kate's counterattack skills in the battle.

"Are my body movements so obvious? Also, the real-time changes in his life energy..."

Neferpidou reviewed the previous fight and vaguely understood the key.

So the excitement and eagerness to try once again occupied her mind.

"You have to... play with me for a little longer."

The aura on Neferpidou's body suddenly soared, showing her excitement at the moment.

Kate, who was waiting in a serious battle, felt Neferpidou's aura, and her heart was condensed.

"Here it comes!"

With her pupils shrinking slightly, Kate suddenly took a step forward and swung her sword forward, slashing out a sharp crescent-shaped blade light.

Wherever the blade light went, Neferpidou flew in the air.

Swish!

A few pieces of clothing splashed into the air.

Neferpidou passed the blade light and landed more than ten meters behind Kate.

On her clothes, there was a gap from her left chest to the top of her shoulder.

Through the gap, you can see that the body under the clothes only has a slight bloodstain.

"Sure enough."

Neferpidou tried the move himself, and thus determined the trick that Kate could lock on her attack trajectory.

When making a move, life energy will be mobilized unintentionally.

And the dynamic changes of life energy will reveal information to a certain extent.

In addition, the offensive and defensive power can be enhanced by concentrating life energy.

"It's really interesting."

Neferpidou's mouth curled up, but he didn't intend to use this information to trick Kate.

She wanted to play for a little longer, like a cat playing with a mouse...

Kate's eyes swept across the gap in Neferpido's clothes, and her brows furrowed subconsciously.

Even a well-timed slash could not really break the monster's defense.

Was the chance of winning that she thought at first too naive...

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Kate saw that the "qi" on Neferpido's body was flowing and changing, and it was extremely sensitive.

The opponent...

became stronger in the battle!

Kate's heart was shocked.

The chance of winning that she had seen before suddenly dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Despair.

This will be Kate's psychological portrayal.

Defeat is also a matter of time.

In the original anime, Kate and Catwoman fought from night to dawn...

I think it's outrageous.

Anyway, I can't write about such a long battle over and over again, just write it briefly.

So this battle ends here.

As for Moyu coming down from the sky to save the situation, that's impossible.

Of course I want to write it this way, but I can't get past the logical barrier in my mind.
