Squeak——
The sound of screeching brakes filled the air.
Kurapika drove the black car forward for a short distance, then slammed on the brakes, turned the steering wheel, and parked sideways in the middle of the road.
He quickly got out of the car, shook the chain on his wrist, and looked back at the car.
There, Germain was fighting against the last three Shadow Beasts.
As the stinky rat released its ability, "Foul Mist of the Undercity," the battlefield at the Twin Bridges entered its final decisive battle.
Among the Shadow Beasts, the evil wolf and the poisonous snake were the strongest, while the stinky rat had average combat power and was mainly used for surprise attacks.
With a simple reminder, the wolf and the snake would understand what to do and put on the masks they had prepared.
Then, the wolf and the snake attacked Germain together.
Under their combined assault, Germain retreated. Their attempt to force him into the stench failed, and they quickly pursued him.
At this point, they couldn't kill Germain, and they didn't want to face the Ten Dons again. They didn't need to think about anything else right now.
Kill, kill, kill. Only by killing could they end everything tonight.
At that moment, Germain felt a surge of excitement as energy flowed through his body.
This excitement wasn't sudden; it was the result of a battle that had lasted over twenty minutes since he had killed Shachmono.
Shachmono, Dalzollene, and seven other unnamed Shadow Beasts all fell at his hands, and his hands were covered in sticky, scarlet blood.
The chain of "Gift of Resentment" quietly and slowly improved Germain until he achieved a significant breakthrough.
He gained a new strength, improving both his Physique and Endurance, something no one expected except for Germain himself.
His enhanced physique had a score of 75 points, and his Endurance reached 81 points—levels that most Nen users would never attain in their lifetimes.
Those who reach this level of Nen ability usually go through years of intense training.
Germain had also entered this realm with basic qualities. Now, he only lacked the Nen, skills, and perception to be considered a master of Nen.
However, now that he had taken the first step into the realm of masters, he felt ready to face the three opponents in front of him.
Buzz—
With a heart full of murderous intent, Germain unleashed his power like the shockwave of an explosion, extending to the limit of his current "En." Everything within a fifty-meter radius was affected.
Kurapika felt that chilling sensation again—the same feeling he experienced when he wasn't yet a Nen user, forced to endure Germain awakening his Nen abilities!
He gripped his chain tightly, the sound of metal clanking echoed in the tense silence. He held his breath for a moment, his eyes widening beneath his blond hair.
This feeling is incredible...
But it was the Wolf, Snake, and Rat that first faced this overwhelming aura.
They never expected someone could make such massive breakthroughs in battle. At that moment, they could only think that Germain had been hiding his true strength and was now revealing his lethal capabilities.
If that was true, he was incredibly cunning...
But if it wasn't, it would be even more frightening. They had to believe he was hiding his strength; there couldn't be any other explanation.
Although the Wolf, Rat, and Snake were caught off guard, their years of experience allowed them to quickly suppress their fear and doubt.
Regardless of whether the aura was real or fake, they had to treat it as real. After a glance at each other, they braced themselves for the worst.
Someone had to fall here.
But who would be the victim? No one wanted to be the one to suffer, yet they knew Germain would decide who it would be.
When the man wearing a bird-beak mask and a black robe finally launched his attack, his devastating strike exceeded their worst fears.
With a loud bang, Germain, who had been several meters away, suddenly appeared in front of the venomous snake.
It was as if all the moments in between had been erased!
It was a terrifying and nauseating feeling! The sudden pressure left the snake with no time to think about anything else, causing it to instinctively fight back!
"Drink—"
[Emission Type: Ten Thousand Snake Cave]!
With a loud shout, countless snakes made of condensed Nen emerged from the snake's body. They swarmed around Germain, fiercely biting at him!
Germain quickly swung his Cleaver which was conjured in an instant. With a hissing sound, he chopped off the snake heads coming at him!
This move could only be used when he was using the "Three Attribute Nen Tank." Now that he had mastered it, it became a signature move of his.
He extended his left hand, poked out his index and middle fingers together, and stabbed forward.
A spiral of Nen formed and shot out, tearing through the defenses of the snakes with unstoppable force. When it hit the poisonous snake's chest, it pierced through and exploded, killing it instantly!
The snake's eyes widened, and it coughed up a pool of dark red blood!
On the brink of death, the snake was filled with shock and anger. It called back its remaining mind snakes, which then lunged at Germain! If they bit him, he would either die or be severely injured!
"Die, die, die with me!"
The snake wanted to drag Germain down to hell, but he retracted his hands, spread them out, and unleashed a powerful explosion. A mind shield covered him, and ominous crow wings spread out!
Bang—
The thousands of snakes hit the shield and bounced back!
In an instant, the last chance was gone.
The snake could no longer breathe, its killing intent fading away. Its aura dissipated, its eyes darkened, and its consciousness blurred, leaving only one final thought.
"I can't even break his defense?"
From the wolf's perspective, the fight between Germain and the snake lasted just a breath and a half, but this only made him more terrified.
The winner had been decided!
When the snake couldn't fight back and fell to the ground, the evil wolf noticed the eyes behind the bird-beak mask looking at him.
The feeling of being watched and hunted made the wolf realize that there was no escape today.
"Stinky Rat, come here or we'll all die!"
This shout, a mix of warning and threat, woke up the stinky rat sitting just behind him.
There was no way to maneuver around Germain. It was a life-and-death situation. They couldn't worry about who would become the victim at that moment.
If they didn't use all their strength, they wouldn't survive.
The two of them charged forward together, one on the left and one on the right, using every trick they had. They couldn't hold anything back now.
The "Foul Mist of the Undercity" from the stink rat shot towards Germain's mask like a cannonball, hoping to stun him for just a second. That one second would be enough for the wolf to seriously injure or even kill Germain!
The enhanced wolf unleashed the "Roaring Wolf" move, lowered its body, and aimed to bite Germain's lower abdomen with claws like an ugly wolf head.
Both were Shadow Beasts, sharing a silent understanding in this life-and-death moment.
This was their final act of desperation.
However, Germain was even crazier. He seemed to see through their attacks. He simply lowered his body, ignoring the stinking mist from the stinky rat, and faced the wolf head-on!
This stance suggested he wasn't worried about the stinky rat's attack at all.
But this was his rhythm of attack and defense, prioritizing his judgment and acting without hesitation.
With sharpened claws, the wolf charged forward, roaring.
Germain reached out and grabbed the wolf's wrists, their foreheads colliding in an instant!
