Francis's positioning and the gesture of gathering Nen with his cards were all seen by Moses.
In a situation where he had companions cooperating, there is no problem with Francis's approach.
Unfortunately-
Francis and even his companion may be able to infer from the rule that 'weapons are not allowed in casinos' that the machete in Dis Mendeck's hand is a conjured object.
However, they would never have thought that Dis Mendeck would actually shoot a blade-shaped Nen bullet as he slashed.
Since they had just arrived at the scene, they couldn't gather intelligence like Moses did with Nen Clone.
It was this information gap that led to Francis, who should have been the most intimidating to Dis Mendeck, meeting his demise under the blade.
But it has to be said that Dis Mendeck's tactical decision-making was too decisive.
He saw through Francis's intentions at a glance and used the 'information gap' to instantly take down one of them in a 1v4 situation.
This illustrates the importance of intelligence in Nen battles.
However, the reason why Francis died so simply was also related to his strength.
If he had reacted faster or quickly shifted the Nen gathered in his right hand to defense, he wouldn't have died on the spot.
'He's obviously an Emitter, yet he developed a Conjuration Ability with a very low proficiency rate, and it's just an ordinary machete with no highlights...'
Moses's gaze swept over Francis's body and turned to Dis Mendeck, who was holding the machete.
A normal Emitter wouldn't touch the Conjuration Ability, which has the lowest proficiency rate for them, and even if they did, how can they conjure an ordinary cold weapon.
It's unknown what strong demand Dis Mendeck came from or what factors influenced him to create this bizarre combination of abilities.
But Dis Mendeck relied on this strange combination of abilities to kill one of the 'Four Corners' of Hex family in one clash.
It can only be said that unconventional Nen Users, who don't follow the conventional patterns, can sometimes be surprisingly effective.
Nen Users like Dis Mendeck might not be few in this world, but the original 'manga perspective' didn't allow them to appear on the 'stage'.
'Just the death of one person shouldn't be enough to deter the remaining three.'
Moses slowly approached the battlefield. Before doing so, he quietly released half of his shadow.
At this point, Moses still needed to strive for the opportunity to face Dis Mendeck in one-on-one.
Within the battlefield.
Francis's sudden death shocked Syneal and the others.
Dis Mendeck sneered and took advantage of the situation to attack Dorn on the right.
A gap has been opened, so the next thing to do is to expand it.
Dorn's eyes contained anger at this moment.
Francis's death provided them with information that Dis Mendeck was most likely an Emitter, which showed that the threat level of that machete was not something to be afraid of.
So Dorn abandoned the cautious observation he had at the beginning and directly confronted the incoming machete with his body.
Even if he got injured, it didn't matter. As long as he could entangle Dis Mendeck with this, they could use their numerical advantage to end the fight in a short time.
Dis Mendeck frowned at this.
Experienced as he was, he anticipated the consequences in a very short time, so he decisively withdrew after retracting his machete, not giving Dorn a chance to entangle him.
However, there was another Enhancer, Syneal, nearby. So, while Dis Mendeck retreated, he stepped forward and punched towards Dis Mendeck's waist.
'After taking out that idiot with the playing cards, it's only natural for the remaining people to realize.'
Dis Mendeck swung his machete and sent a close-range Aura blade at Syneal.
Syneal's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was forced to switch from offense to defense, using his fists cladded with Nen to block the Aura blade coming.
The two collided violently.
The burst of impact pushed Syneal back, and Dis Mendeck also took a step back, almost losing his balance.
At this moment, Sira, the Conjurer among the 'Four Corners', threw out the lasso in her hand.
The three iron balls tied to the ropes rotated in the air, using inertia to quickly send the lasso to above Dis Mendeck.
"Take this."
Sira looked focused, and her right hand holding the rope suddenly pulled down.
At this moment, Dis Mendeck's body was slightly unbalanced.
The lasso flying above Dis Mendeck fell directly and smoothly onto Dis Mendeck's neck.
Next, Sira only needs to tighten the lasso to restrict Dis Mendeck's mobility. However, as the lasso tightened around Dis Mendeck's neck, he unexpectedly threw out the machete in his hand without any delay.
Whoosh—!
The machete wrapped in Nen tore through the air like an arrow, heading straight towards Sira.
"!!!"
Sira, who was secretly happy because of her success a second ago, now saw the sharpness of the waist knife rushing towards her, and her heart couldn't help but trembled.
"Be careful!!"
Dorn reminded loudly.
At this critical moment, a figure appeared a few meters in front of Sira. It was Moses, who had already arrived at the scene.
As Moses raised his hand, a mass of Nen floated in his palm, then he pinched the blade of the machete thrown by Dis Mendeck with a converging force.
The Machete, which had been shooting like an arrow, instantly turned from extreme motion to extreme stillness, and was firmly held in Moses' hand.
Crack—
Moses exerted a little force, and the machete between his fingers suddenly shattered into colorful dots of light, floating around his body.
"!!!"
"…"
Seeing this sudden turn of events, all the Nen Users present showed expressions of shock.
They never expected that this young man, who suddenly appeared, could actually neutralize Dis Mendeck's lethal move so calmly.
Sira looked at the back of the young man in front of her with lingering fear.
'Tighten the rope!'
Without even bothering to thank Moses, Sira wanted to tighten the lasso.
But Dis Mendeck conjured the machete again and cut the rope tied around his neck.
Being able to re-conjure the machete at will is what gives Dis the confidence to throw the machete casually.
"You are kind of useless."
Moses waved his hand casually, sweeping away the colorful dots scattered in the air.
Sira heard Moses's words, but was unable to refute.
"If possible, please step back. I don't want to be held back while dealing with a wanted criminal."
While Moses spoke, his gaze went straight to Dis Mendeck ahead.
Dis Mendeck, who quickly retreated to create distance, naturally heard Moses' somewhat arrogant remark.
"Arrogant."
Dis Mendeck looked at Moses, who suddenly appeared to be in his way, with sinister gaze.
Syneal and Dorn also heard Moses's words, and their faces didn't look good for a moment.
After several rounds of exchanges,
They, who had the numerical advantage, were indeed being suppressed by Dis Mendeck.
'If it weren't for this young man's intervention, Sira might have been injured or killed...'
"Anyway, joining forces is..."
Sira looked at Moses who was right in front of her, struggling to speak, but she was interrupted by the sound of a machine gun.
Dadadada-!
The direction from which the gunfire came was where Koko and Fiona were.
And along with the sound of gunshots, there were two Auras that should not be underestimated.
'Franklin?'
Feeling the presence of the Aura, Moses's eyelids drooped.
'At this timing… Should I say it's bad or...'
'Well, at least there is a chance for me to deal with Dis Mendeck on my own.'
