Possessing the strength to send Franklin flying...
Then she heard Franklin mention a troublesome kid.
Powerful, yet young.
Fiona instantly thought of Moses.
The fact was just as she guessed, as Moses and Wright appeared in front of them.
Ryles, who was fighting with her, was originally wondering which expert managed to beat Franklin to such a state, and then saw Moses trying to leave through a nearby exit.
'It turned out to be that kid who had been frequently observing Franklin on the street before.'
Ryles was quite surprised.
When he noticed Moses on the street, he was still considering whether to deal with him casually, but he didn't expect to encounter him here.
What's more, the kid in front of him actually had the power to suppress Franklin, which unexpectedly added an unavoidable variable to this operation.
'It can't be delayed any longer.'
Because Franklin being sent flying had become a reality, Ryles could no longer be as leisurely as before.
He looked at Fiona coldly, his eyes cold and sinister.
If it weren't for this woman who was not afraid of death, he would have left this place already and found a place to enjoy himself after using his ability to 'freeze' Koko's feet.
Thinking of this, Ryles mobilized his Nen, and there seemed to be weak ripples of Nen wherever he stepped.
Fiona's nerves tightened, gathering a mass of Nen in her eyes as she looked at Ryles, who was approaching rapidly.
'It's resin, right…'
After several exchanges, she had already figured out the opponent's abilities.
The opponent is a Transmuter, which can transmute his Aura into resin, and then to imprison the target in its solidified state.
The reason Koko was stuck in place was because this man in front of her erased the presence of his Nen with In, then made the resin flow along the ground, directly solidifying Koko's feet.
And now, the deliberate stirring of Nen ripples under his feet was an attempt to pressure her overtly.
Because each ripple that spread could potentially turn into resin in the next second.
If she is not careful, once a part of her body was solidified into amber by the resin, her mobility would be affected, and then she will be eaten away bit by bit by the opponent.
In close combat, if she only had to guard against this ability that could restrict her body, then as an Enhancer, Fiona would not be afraid.
But the real problem was not the ability to turn Aura into resin, but the fact that the person with this ability was equally skilled as her.
This results in—
When Fiona fights with Ryles, she needs to take into account the risk of resin adhering to her body.
And Ryles's tactical direction is very clear, which is to slowly 'whittle' away Fiona's advantage.
In order to implement this tactic, the intensity of his skills must keep up with Fiona's, and on the other hand, he must also often play tricks on her.
During the fight, Ryles would choose the opportunity to use In to eliminate the flow direction of the resin, or deliberately condense his Nen to make Fiona have the premonition that 'he might activate his ability'.
In addition to this, he would also use Koko's 'personal safety' to force Fiona to reveal her flaws in battle.
Using all the conditions that could create value in battle, and then weaving a spider web, patiently waiting for Fiona to fall into it step by step.
This is Ryles's fighting style.
Originally, as long as nothing happened to Franklin, Ryles would definitely be able to deal with Fiona if he carried out his tactics to the end.
But now, there was a variable. Coupled with Franklin's request for him to finish quickly, he had to change his tactical thinking.
Anyway, the previous skirmish had already caused Fiona quite a bit of injury, so even if he actively gave up the tactic of 'grinding an iron pastel into a needle', it wouldn't be a problem to take down Fiona now.
Ryles was once again tangled with Fiona.
Meanwhile, Franklin headed straight towards Moses and Wright.
If he hadn't chosen to target Moses and Wright from the beginning, perhaps these two troubles would have voluntarily left.
But there is no 'ifs'.
Now, Franklin was quite determined to take down Moses and Wright.
Wright's gaze was directed at Franklin, who was approaching aggressively.
Judging from the powerful Aura containing murderous intent that exuded blatantly, it was clear that the other party wouldn't let them leave easily.
"Moses, you go first."
Wright firmly stood in front of Moses.
Although Moses's previous strike had definitely injured Franklin, which usually would call for a follow-up attack, Moses suggested withdrawal.
Wright's first reaction was one of confusion, but upon noticing Moses's unwell complexion, he readily complied with Moses's suggestion without hesitation.
Now, seeing Franklin approaching aggressively, Wright knew exactly what he should do at this moment.
"…"
Moses didn't respond to Wright's words but carefully observed Franklin's condition.
'The strong will contained within his Aura was evident, almost to the point of saying "I will exterminate you all'.
'And there was a noticeable lack of coordination in his physical movements, most likely due to the injuries.'
After getting this information, Moses turned his gaze to Fiona, who was embroiled in a fierce battle, and Sira, who was quietly approaching Koko.
In just a few glances, Moses absorbed all the information on the scene.
Then, he slowly took two steps back, assessing the distance and range visually.
"Wright, can you give me 'three minutes'?"
After making these moves, Moses turned to look at Wright's back, clearly not intending to let him to stay and cover for him.
"Hmm?"
Wright was slightly taken aback, then took a deep breath.
"I can do five minutes."
Before he finished speaking, Wright charged towards Franklin.
He knew very well that Moses was a very independent person. After making a certain decision, it was basically impossible for him to influence it.
Because he understood this, after Moses made his decision, he didn't waste time arguing, but instead immediately chose to cooperate with Moses without hesitation.
Franklin saw Wright charging towards him, but his attention was on Moses.
Subsequently, he saw Moses restraining his Nen and entering the Zetsu state.
In fact, when he saw Moses just now, Franklin was convinced of his previous speculation.
The brief pause in teleportation wasn't due to a lack of Nen skill but was due to the limitations of his ability.
'If the Nen clone is hit, the main body will also suffer damage? No, it should be subjected to limitations like pain, etc…'
Franklin naturally noticed Moses' state and made a judgment based on it.
'It seems that using that kind of ability consumes a lot of his Aura.'
Now, seeing Moses enter the Zetsu state, Franklin muttered to himself in his mind:
'With a companion covering him and not considering the possibility of escape but choosing to utilize the remaining 'time' to recover his Aura, his intention is quite obvious.'
Realizing that Moses was seizing the opportunity to take him down, Franklin silently sneered.
Moses and Wright choosing to stay and fight was exactly what he wanted to see.
'So, before that little brat could recover...'
'I can relax my worries a little and deal with the Enhancer first.'
