Kanzai actually knew one thing very well.
When Ryles died from the attack from above, he no longer had a reason to continue fighting here.
Unless the other members of the Phantom Troupe still had the intention of going after his employer, he would have to stay here and take on the role of intercepting the threat.
But the likelihood of the other Phantom Troupe's members going after his employer is almost zero.
In other words-
If Kanzai wanted to disengage and leave the fight, members of the Phantom Troupe such as Uvogin would likely not choose to pursue him.
However, Kanzai had never considered simply withdrawing.
'That bastard Moses... Why isn't he leaving?'
'Doesn't he know that in battles between Nen Users, being outnumbered is the worst situation?'
'If you're an Enhancer, just ignore what I said, but you're not. If you keep dragging this on, and I can't hold on, what will you do then?!'
'When that time comes, don't blame me for leaving you behind and running!'
The reason why Kanzai stayed here to fight was, on one hand, the threat from the Phantom Troupe was basically here, so the employer's escape route should be very safe, and on the other hand, he had to help Moses share the pressure of facing the enemies.
Otherwise, if he allowed the two Phantom Troupe's members to deal with Moses alone, the consequences would be disastrous.
However, the problem now is that Moses showed no intention of leaving at all.
Kanzai was helpless and adopted a stance, ready for both offense and defense, preparing to face Uvogin and Nobunaga's combined attack.
Although he complained about Moses's lack of discretion in his heart, if it really came to the worst, he wouldn't abandon Moses and escape from the battle alone.
However, what Kanzai didn't know was...
Moses could actually leave the battle at any time, but the reason he stayed here to fight was because he was worried that Kanzai would not be able to escape safely.
Both sides were considering this point.
It's just that they were so caught up in the fierce battle that they didn't have a chance to communicate, which led to this situation.
In another battle zone.
Biscuit, Shizuku, and Menchi were caught up by Feitan.
Afterwards, Feitan started attacking them, delaying time so that Machi and Bonolenov could arrive, thus keeping Biscuit and the others tied up here.
Judging solely from the comprehensive strength of both sides, it is difficult to determine what the final outcome will be.
However, before the two sides take action, one thing is certain.
That is-
Menchi would inevitably become the first casualty in this fight.
This outcome is inevitable.
And Biscuit, being the strongest among them, had already grasped this 'predetermined information' before the battle even began.
Protecting and fighting were inherently different concepts.
Biscuit could handle three opponents alone, but asking her to protect Menchi, who lacked self-defense means, in such a battle was clearly very challenging.
After all, the opponents were not just some random weaklings...
While Biscuit was analyzing the situation and feeling troubled, a chirping sound suddenly rang out in the area.
It was the azure bead necklace that necklace was wearing. At this moment, it had turned into Rat Jewel amid a burst of Nen.
Plop, plop!
After transforming, Rat Jewel jumped to the ground, making a 'plop' sound as its tiny feet hit the ground.
Normally, if there is nothing to do, in order to conserve its 'battery', Rat Jewel would stay as a necklace and be worn by Moses.
However, for this Museum Exchange Conference, everyone was dressed up in their best attire.
Moses was wearing a navy blue suit, which was obviously not suitable for wearing the more feminine necklace that Rat Jewel had transformed into.
In addition, Menchi didn't have any jewelry, so in order to match her carefully chosen dress, she asked Moses for the necklace to add some flair.
This is why the Rat Jewel's necklace was worn by Menchi.
Now, facing the threat from Feitan and others, Rat Jewel suddenly revealed its true form, but it is not to be cute.
Possessing its own consciousness and wisdom, it clearly realized that Menchi and the others were in a precarious situation, so it decided to come out and help.
"Chu!"
Rat Jewel's big round eyes swept towards Menchi and it let out a soft cry. Then, a green light emerged from the arrow on its forehead.
[Rat Path: One-Way Passage]
Nen gathered at the arrowhead, then was separated to form a circular passage suspended in the low altitude.
The inside of the passage was pitch black, with vague, smoke-like movements, making it unclear what lay within.
"Chu chu!"
After using its Nen to create the passage, Rat Jewel quickly urged Menchi and Shizuku to enter the passage.
Rat Jewel's current form of existence is special. Although it retains the [Rat Path] ability, it couldn't exert the same level of power as before.
That is to say, some functions of its ability no longer exist, and the strength of its ability has been weakened.
Perhaps in the future, there might be a way to restore its ability to its former strength, but right now, there are limits to what it can do.
So-
After Rat Jewel revealed its true form, it intended to use the [One-Way Passage] ability to help Menchi and the others escape, instead of using the [No Entry] control ability to assist in the battle.
Given Rat Jewel's current strength, it probably couldn't control Feitan and the others, and there was also the "energy" limitation, making prolonged combat impossible.
Menchi looked at the passage created by Rat Jewel, and her eyes lit up slightly.
"Quick."
She shouted swiftly, then dashed towards the passage.
Shizuku also looked at the floating circular passage, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes behind her glasses.
Although she wasn't clear on the exact effects of Rat Jewel's ability, she could vaguely tell that it was a passage with teleportation capabilities.
After understanding this, Shizuku followed Menchi without hesitation.
In fact, from the moment the Phantom Troupe appeared and attacked the exchange meeting to now when they were caught up by Feitan and his companions, Shizuku has always been very calm and has been constantly assessing the situation.
The first conclusion she drew from the situation was:
Menchi was a burden and must be sent away first, otherwise, she will indirectly drag Biscuit down.
So, before Rat Jewel appeared, Shizuku's plan was to escort Menchi away from here first, and then come back to help Biscuit.
However, with Rat Jewel revealed its true form and used the [One-Way Passage] ability, Shizuku's plan shifted to ensuring Menchi entered the passage.
She rushed towards the passage without hesitation, not to enter it herself, but to get into position in advance to guard against possible attacks from the enemy.
And indeed-
After seeing the channel created by Rat Jewel, Feitan, Bonolenov, and Machi immediately guessed that the passage was a Teleportation-Type ability.
So, they naturally couldn't just watch Menchi and the others slip into the passage and escape.
However, in their eyes, Shizuku's proactive move to guard the passage seemed to them like she was eager to escape through it.
"Want to run?"
Feitan sneered, and his figure turned ghost-like as he darted towards the passage.
Biscuit's eyes tracked Feitan's barely visible movements. She then decisively removed her red princess dress, revealing a cooler outfit of a white base layer and shorts.
She might hesitate to revert to her original form, but shedding the princess dress in public wasn't a concern.
The princess dress indeed hampered her movements and speed.
After shedding the princess dress, Biscuit swiftly intercepted Feitan.
