'The parasitism of the tendrils... definitely has to rely on direct attacks. Only this way can I ensure that, when I breach the target's Nen Defenses, the tendrils can be implanted in their body.'
Moses slowly opened his eyes and murmured to himself, "The wound doesn't need to be big, even just a small cut will do. If it can be more perfected, it will be very effective even against Enhancer."
Among all the Nen Categories, Moses hates facing Enhancer the most.
Even though he has the 'Super Speed' Emission-Type Ability that can greatly enhance his offensive capabilities, his dislike for facing Enhancers has never changed.
And he had experienced it firsthand during the fight at the Museum Exchange Conference.
Even if he can seize the opportunity to use the Super Speed attack in the relentless combat, users Enhancers such as Phinks could defend against the attack with their raw Nen Defenses.
Not to mention Enhancer like Kanzai, who combined immense attack and defense power with rapid self-healing ability...
Unless he can kill Kanzai in one fell swoop or injure Kanzai severely, no matter how many times Moses shoots used his Super Speed attacks, he will not be able to change the situation of the battle.
The most likely result that awaits him is that Kanzai will use the extremely high tolerance rate brought by his offensive, defensive and self-healing ability to forcibly consume all of Moses's Potential Aura.
But now, if Moses can successfully develop the Kyoka Suigetsu Ability based on his current ideas, then he will have a stealthy, parasitic ability specifically designed to wear down Enhancer silently and effectively.
If used properly...
This ability can basically produce good results against any type of Nen User.
After all-
The moment the illusion ability successfully activates, it's essentially equivalent to a Manipulator's instant-kill ability.
Although the opponent can use Zetsu to break free from Kyoka Suigetsu, being in a Zetsu state would also give Moses a prime opportunity to deal a decisive blow.
'That should work.'
Moses sorted out his thoughts.
The first step was to implant the black tendrils into the target's body via a direct attack, meeting the preliminary activation condition.
However, in order to reduce the probability of the target noticing something unusual, the black tendrils must be set to In state.
This, of course, would require additional limitations. However, Moses could use the [Vow Effect +1] he already possessed to achieve this setup.
After that is the growth time and acceleration time of the tendrils.
Five minutes.
Moses felt that this was the ideal amount of time for the tendrils to grow and fully activate the ability.
Of course, the longer he sets this time, the better the effect of the ability will be.
However, in an extremely fierce battle, sometimes even a single second can bring about various changes and possibilities.
Therefore, if the activation time were too long, it could end up restricting him instead.
In addition, there are methods such as secondary parasitism and accelerated growth by using the target's drastic emotional fluctuations as nutrients.
Moses believed that setting the initial growth time at five minutes was acceptable.
Having largely confirmed his approach and direction, the basic prototype of the Kyoka Suigetsu Ability was now born.
Create wound → implant the black tendrils → five minutes of growth time → accelerate growth → ability activation → total control.
Moses raised his hand to his chin.
Although he had solidified the concept and direction, he wasn't in a hurry to start building the ability's foundation.
'For me, the advantage of Kyoka Suigetsu lies in the fact that it's a rules-based ability, so whether it is to meet the initial activation conditions of the ability or to finally activate the ability, it won't consume too much of my Manifested Aura.'
Moses's eyes gleamed with thought.
The conjured black sword and the mimicking shadow clone.
Both of these abilities occupied a considerable portion of Moses's Manifested Aura.
Therefore, during the time when Moses activated these two abilities, the amount of Manifested Aura he could mobilize was actually far less than that of a normal Nen User.
However, having less available Aura also meant a decrease in his attack and defense capabilities, which would increase the risk of close-combat scenarios.
Under these circumstances, if he developed another Nen Ability, he may not have enough Manifested Aura to support the newly developed third Nen Ability.
This is the inherent drawback of using multiple Nen Abilities at the same time.
If it weren't for the Swamp Man Incident, which had allowed Moses to enhance the strength of his shadow clone...
Then the pressure that Moses will face from 'diversing his abilities' will be even greater!
Therefore-
Kyoka Suigetsu, a rule-based ability that only consume a small amount of Manifested Aura to activate its effect, is well-suited to Moses's current situation.
More importantly, unlike advanced Nen Techniques, the maximum amount of Aura one could manifest became harder to increase over time.
A Nen User with ten years of experience, even if less skilled due to talent limitations, would still have a significant advantage in Aura Capacity over a Nen User with only a year of experience.
Moses's tactical ability and awareness are probably already at the 'A-Class' level.
But on the contrary, his Manifested Aura and Potential Aura, as well as advanced Nen Techniques such as Ko and Ryu, still had a long way to go before reaching that level.
In the past, Moses had even given up his daily blade training just to free up more time to improve these aspects.
'Developing Kyoka Suigetsu will use up one Memory Capacity, one Vow Effect, and one emotion fragment with illusionary attribute.'
A black sword conjured between Moses's hands, and his eyes flashed.
'That would leave me with one more Memory Capacity and an emotion fragment with decay attribute. In theory, I can develop another Nen Ability, but my current 'CPU' simply can't handle it, so I shouldn't consider it for the time being.'
Moses stared at the plain, unremarkable black blade, imagining the illusions that would one day bloom along its surface with Kyoka Suigetsu.
Suddenly-
Moses's mind flashed back to Omokage's Nen Ability that can create soul doll, which replicate the original Nen Abilities of those it copied.
Back then, the 100-Type Guanyin performed by the Netero doll was certainly far inferior to the original one, but it still left a deep impression on Moses.
'Now that I think about it...'
Moses had a flash of inspiration, and controlled the shadow to switch into a three-dimensional state, and then changed its appearance to 3D Hisoka.
Currently, his shadow clone could perfectly mimic only himself and Hisoka.
If he wanted to add new mimicry images, it will consume one Memory Capacity.
After all, the shadow clone is essentially a fully conjured entity, unlike Morel's Deep Purple, which was smoke-based.
'Is it possible...'
Inspired by Omokage's ability, Moses stared at 3D Hisoka's face and a whimsical idea emerged in his mind.
'Hisoka-'
'Can the shadow clone mimic his abilities too?'
