Chapter 36: Chapter 36 One-Hit Kill
Whether it's a trick or a means, there is no meaning at all if the opponent cannot be decisively dealt with in the end.
Moses currently lacks the ability to face the enemy head-on. Even if he has a trump card in his hand obtained through Nen Exorcism, it may not be enough to deal with the opponent in one go.
Under this premise, openly showing weakness to the opponent may make the other party suspicious and stop, or the other party might choose to break through the paper tiger.
But regardless of the opponent's reaction, Moses is prepared.
Of course-
Moses actually hopes that the opponent will take the initiative to attack.
Only then can he take advantage of the unequal information gap to discover and seize the opportunity to kill the long-haired man.
And that opportunity—
Exists only in the moment after the long-haired man thought his attack was successful.
'I don't even know how to use Ko now. It would be a fool's errand to break through his Ken, but as long as I can induce him to use more Aura for offense, the Aura used for defense will correspondingly decrease."
"Then, I can use the 'emotion fragments' extracted from the Post-Mortem Nen to increase my attack power. If everything goes smoothly, I might be able to finish him off in one go!"
'I just don't know if the effect of this 'emotion fragment' can meet the expectations.'
Moses thought silently.
After obtaining a Nen Exorcism chance from Perception, when Moses touched the photo that entangled with Post-Mortem Nen, information about Nen Exorcism and emotion fragments surged into his head.
The so-called emotion fragments are things extracted from Post-Mortem Nen. They have various uses, one of which is for attack.
Although it is not clear whether the specific effect can meet the expectations...
In any case, it must be used properly.
'No hurry, I only have one chance.'
Moses waits in silence.
In his field of vision, on one side is pitch darkness, and the other side is the long-haired man, who is in a dilemma.
The two sides are still in a stalemate.
Judging from their positions and current situation, the situations of the two sides are actually quite similar. They both prefer to wait for the outcome from their companions on the other side during the stalemate.
If Cheadle, Ken and Sivir are still in a stalemate, then it's just a matter of waiting for Hawk or Genbu on the other side to fall first...
That will determine who makes the first move.
It's just that Moses didn't expect that moment to come so quickly.
Bang!
Within the battlefield, a muffled sound suddenly resounded.
But it was Hawk who was sent flying by a blow from Genbu, crashing heavily into a large tree, spitting out a large amount of blood.
With the injuries he suffered in the past few days, coupled with the need to allocate at least half of his Nen to ensure the Rat Jewel's state, the combat power that Hawk can exert is actually very limited.
This is the same for Cheadle.
As a non-combat type, at most, she can only achieve a restraining effect with her ability, lacking the ability to kill the opponent in battle.
When Hawk suffered a heavy blow and fell, Cheadle's already weak 'attack power' became even weaker, causing a chain reaction that instantly clarified the situation inside the field.
Genbu prepared to give Hawk the final blow, and Cole's mind also finally broke out of the mire at this time.
"Hawk…!"
Cheadle's face changed slightly. The first thought that came to her mind at this moment was not about Hawk's life or death, but rather to let Moses, who had awakened his Nen less than half a month ago, escape directly.
Just as she was about to put her thoughts into action, gunshots suddenly rang out in the forest.
The figure standing in the darkness took out a submachine gun from who knows where, pointed it at Genbu and pulled the trigger.
Accompanied by intensive sound of gunfire, hot bullets flew towards Genbu.
Amidst the gunfire, the flickering flames outlined the silhouette of the figure, his clothes, and his gradually intensifying Nen.
"Hmm?!"
When Genbu heard the sound, he quickly reacted. And instead of resisting head-on, he chose to dodge the incoming bullets.
However, the pouring barrage followed him closely, seemingly aiming to keep him away from Hawk.
'Heh.'
Genbu noticed the other party's thoughts and couldn't help but sneered in his heart.
He complied with Moses's thoughts, and didn't insist on delivering the final blow to Hawk, who had lost the ability to fight. Instead, he kept dodging the bullets while trying to draw Moses's attention as much as possible.
This would create an opportunity for Cole to attack.
And Cole did not disappoint Genbu either.
When Moses started shooting and focused his attention on Genbu—
Cole took out a dagger and, in the most fierce manner, attacked Moses, who was still shooting, from the blind spot at the corner of his view.
Before attacking, through the increasingly bright Aura around Moses, Cole caught a glimpse of the opponent's clothes and the night vision goggles covering more than half of his face.
'Just this level of Ten?'
Apart from that, the only thing that caught Cole's attention was the opponent's mediocre Ten.
In the blink of an eye, Cole, who stepped into the attack range, thrust the dagger charged with his Nen into Moses's chest.
Sizzle!
The accompanying strong Nen instantly shattered Moses's Ten into countless pieces.
This level of Ten was no match for Cole's attack at all, and his strike is extremely fatal!
'So weak…'
This is the thought that Cole had when he ended Moses with one strike.
But it was also at this moment that Moses, who was stabbed by him, suddenly disappeared into thin air.
The night vision goggles originally worn on Moses's face, the remaining clothes on his body, and the two submachine guns all fell from mid-air.
"!!!"
Kel's pupils immediately shrank.
At this moment, in the dark corner, a palm filled covered in black Aura appeared from behind him and smoothly swiped across his neck.
It was-
Moses, who was wearing only a pair of shorts.
"It hurts so much."
Moses muttered in a low voice.
Behind him, Cole's head slid off his neck, fell to the ground with a thud, and rolled a couple of times before stopping.
Before his consciousness completely disappeared, Cole lifted his eyes with difficulty and stared fixedly at the person who had severed his head.
'A... brat?!'
'How could this be…'
'I've clearly been using Ken all this time to observe the situation...'
'If this kid used Zetsu to hide, then after closing his Aura nodes, the clone conjured by his Nen should have dispersed...'
'What exactly is going on?!'
With endless doubts, Cole died with resentment.
Until his death, he still could not figure out what was going on.
"Cole?!"
The sudden turn of events shocked Genbu, who thought victory was within reach.
And Hawk, who was leaning on the tree trunk and secretly hating his insufficient abilities, was also stunned when he witnessed this scene.
'What just happened...?'
'How did Moses do it?!'
At this moment, Hawk felt that his brain was not smart enough.
Moses, on the other hand, after recovering from the pain, looked at the black Aura swirling around his palm with considerable surprise.
'This effect is even better than I expected.'
"Wonderful One-hit kill, your proficiency in the Four Fundamental Techniques +1"
'Huh?'
