In the past, when Moses received double rewards from Perception, he was both delighted and increasingly convinced of Perception's incredible nature.
Subsequent double rewards led him to believe that the upper limit of rewards from Perception was probably two kinds each time.
But now-
Perception had given him six rewards in one go!
Although it was an accumulation mechanism, Moses still couldn't help but be astonished.
A total of six rewards!
Did this indirectly prove the Phantom Troupe's popularity and significance in the original story, leading Perception to offer such generous rewards?
If he were to eventually annihilate the Phantom Troupe, would that feel like a step toward becoming one of the 'Top Five Nen Users in the World'?
Moses was deeply surprised, and with it came a sense of joy of returning home with a full load.
Even though Moses still didn't know the origin of Perception, it didn't stop him from praising it.
'Perception is really awesome...!'
For him, it is an irreplaceable strong backing, even more powerful than the Zoldyck Family's wish-granting machine.
Moses knew that although the Zoldyck Family's wish-granting machine could unconditionally fulfill Killua's demands, it was only because Killua had never intended to exploit them.
This phenomenon actually embodied the mechanism of 'Vows and Limitations'.
It is precisely because Killua never thought of using Nanika that Nanika was so fond of him.
'Emission strength limit +5%, Potential Aura limit +5%, Ryu +1, these are all rewards that enhance my overall strength.'
Moses reviewed the rewards.
These enhancements seemed minor, but grains of sand make a tower. As he progressed step by step, these rewards would become the crucial foundation for him to reach higher levels.
'Ripper Cyclotron, Phinks's Nen Ability...'
Moses's thoughts sank into his consciousness space, floating under a sky full of stars.
'Although it's a one-time ability, if used properly, it can exert a greater power than 100-Type Guanyin: First Hand!'
Upon receiving the Ripper Cyclotron reward, Moses immediately envisioned the combined effects of Ripper Cyclotron and Shadow Shift.
The biggest drawback of Ripper Cyclotron was the need to rotate the arm to accumulate power, resulting in a long wind-up time.
Although it is possible to break the upper limit of the Manifested Aura in this way, it really gives people a stupid feeling.
But to be honest, the maximum power exerted by Ripper Cyclotron might not be as strong as 100-Type Guanyin's Zero Hand, but it was certainly stronger than a single palm strike from 100-Type Guanyin, provided that the fully charged Ripper Cyclotron could hit its target.
Moses's Shadow Shift could perfectly compensate for this drawback of Ripper Cyclotron, thereby maximizing its value.
Moses became a little excited as he mentally combined these skills.
This trump card would become his most powerful attack method at critical moments.
He wondered which fortunate individual in the future would experience the full power of this combination technique.
Actually, the biggest stroke of luck for Moses in tonight's fierce battle was that Silva Zoldyck descended from the sky. Not only he dealt with a Phantom Troupe's member, but he also kept Chrollo occupied.
Otherwise-
If Chrollo had used that position-swapping Emission Ability in combination with Phinks's Ripper Cyclotron, Moses might indeed have been in serious trouble.
'En: Domain...'
Moses then received information about another reward.
Initially, he thought it might be related to Nobunaga's ability, but it turned out to be a conditional reward similar to the ten thousands sword swing.
He needs to train his En to the point where it can be extended to a hundred meters before he can unlock any reward related to the keyword [Domain].
In terms of conditions, it is quite harsh.
In comparison, Moses would much prefer swinging his sword ten thousand times again in a year.
Because En is a technique that is very difficult to master, and it is also a Nen technique that doesn't hold as much practical value in combat compared to advanced techniques like Ryu or Ko.
Therefore, there are very few Nen Users who would spend their energy and time to improve their En.
After all, if someone have that kind of time and energy, they might as well improve their proficiency in advanced techniques like Ryu or Ko, as these Nen techniques are more useful in actual combat.
Moses was somewhat reluctant to invest his current time and energy into training En just to unlock an unknown reward that might be related to his ability.
'Let's put this on hold for now. I got another Memory Capacity +1 reward this time. As far as the diversity of abilities is concerned, I have no shortage of them at all.'
Moses contemplated silently.
The unending adversarial relationship with the Phantom Troupe had earned him another Memory Capacity +1 reward from Perception.
Currently, Moses's ability materials and passive buff rewards are:
Conjuration Strength Limit +8%
Emission Strength Limit +10%
Mental Resilience +135% and Affinity +2 from Star of Mankind's Shine
Illusion Emotion Fragment +1
Vow Effect +1
Memory Capacity +2
With these ability materials and passive buffs expanding his Nen Attributes, Moses could begin developing new abilities. And given his current capabilities, he doesn't have to worry about biting off more than he can chew.
As long as the Perception reward mechanism is always there, in theory, Moses could continue to receive rewards that increased his Nen Attribute's strength limits in the future, eventually reaching 100% in all categories.
In the original work, only Kurapika managed to achieve 100% in all categories, but at the cost of his lifespan...
Moses didn't need to make such sacrifices. However, accumulating enough rewards to reach 100% in all categories would definitely take an extremely long time.
'With two slots of Memory Capacity, I can now work on the [Kyoka Suigetsu] concept based on the black sword."
Moses' thoughts left the consciousness space and he slowly opened his eyes.
The black car continued to drive smoothly along the mountain road.
Due to Biscuit's earlier display of strength, crushing a handgun with her bare hands, the Mafia Family's eldest son and the driver were too scared to breathe, creating a very quiet atmosphere inside the car.
Moses turned his head to look at the rapidly retreating scenery outside the window, pondering the shaping of the black sword.
Ever since he conjured the black sword, he has not shaped it.
Therefore, the black sword looked like an unfinished, pitch-black forged object.
Moses thought it might be time to shape the black sword, but he was still a little hesitant.
In theory, once the black sword was shaped, its strength and quality would undoubtedly improve due to the concept of 'complete form'. This is a good thing with no disadvantages.
However, Moses had used a tactic tonight involving covering the black sword with a shadow while fighting Phinks, which made him think that not shaping the black sword also had its advantages.
If the black sword were shaped, then the tactic of covering the black sword with a shadow may not work.
This was the source of Moses's hesitation.
'I'll think about these things later.'
Moses halted his wandering thoughts.
He was quite tired at the moment, so instead of adding to his mental burden by having random thoughts, he needed a good rest.
An hour later…
The black car took Moses and Biscuit to their destination.
As soon as Moses and Biscuit got out of the car, the black car suddenly accelerated and left, disappearing in a flash.
"Master!"
Menchi, who had been waiting at the meeting spot for some time, immediately ran over and pounced on Moses upon seeing Moses get off the car.
Moses quickly opened his arms and caught Menchi who was flying towards him.
"I'm fine, aren't I?"
Feeling Menchi's worried emotions from close distance, Moses smiled and comforted her.
Menchi responded in a low voice and hugged Moses tightly.
Moses, unable to break free, let Menchi hold him and then looked over at Shizuku, who was walking slowly toward them with a questioning look.
"See?"
Shizuku came closer and slowly turned in front of Moses, indicating she was unharmed.
Moses couldn't help but chuckle at Shizuku's actions.
Shizuku tilted her head slightly, as if wondering why Moses was laughing.
But she quickly put the confusion aside and asked the more pressing question: "What about those people? They didn't follow us, did they?"
"They might pursue us, but the Phantom Troupe lost five of their members tonight, so they might choose to retreat."
Moses answered Shizuku's question calmly.
Shizuku was surprised when she heard this and asked, "The Phantom Troupe lost five members... Moses, did you kill them?"
Having fought against the Phantom Troupe and even been captured by Machi in one encounter, Shizuku knew firsthand the strength of the Phantom Troupe.
Now that she heard that the Phantom Troupe lost five of their members tonight, she was very surprised.
Hearing the conversation between Moses and Shizuku, Biscuit on the side couldn't help but look at Moses with surprise in her eyes, while Menchi, who is still holding Moses, also looked up at him, unable to hide her shock.
"I don't have that kind of ability."
Moses shook his head at Shizuku.
Shizuku was slightly startled, and subconsciously nodded: "Well, I know you're very strong, Moses, but those people are also very powerful, so how could..."
"I only kill three."
What Moses said next put Shizuku's words to an abrupt end.
Shizuku looked at Moses, who has a calm expression, with her mouth slightly opened, and her eyes gradually turned into dead fish eyes.
'Then the way you denied it just now...'
'Why is it like you're saying you didn't do anything?'
Shizuku thought silently in her heart.
Menchi looked up at Moses and her eyes.slowly widened
She had felt the suffocating pressure from Feitan up close, and to think that three Nen Users at such level were killed by her master…
'As expected of Master!'
Menchi felt her heart swell with admiration.
Biscuit next to them raised her eyebrows. She never expected that Moses could kill three members of the Phantom Troupe under such circumstances.
'When we met earlier, he didn't mention this matter, and even sighed about his good luck...'
'What was that all about?'
Biscuit stared at Moses and muttered while pouting, "Low-profile show-off."
"?"
Moses turned his head to look at Biscuit who was pouting, his eyes seemed to be asking: Are you talking about me???
Biscuit understood the meaning of Moses's eyes and nodded affirmatively.
"…"
Moses was speechless by this.
A moment later.
Moses and his group left the area and headed straight to the airport in Vandy City, where they boarded a flight to a nearby city.
As the airship took off, Moses finally prepared to get some well-deserved sleep.
But then Kanzai called calls.
"Tell me now, how do you know the 100-Type Guanyin?!"
After Moses answered the call, Kanzai's loud voice boomed from the phone.
Biscuit, who was sitting on the sofa and reading a handsome men's magazine, was stunned by Kanzai's words.
"What?"
She immediately looked at Moses.
