Tonpa, who fled here in embarrassment because of the armors and the head-holding human statues.
Shalnark, who watches the fight from outside the battlefield.
Lion, who is fighting with three Nen Users.
Viper, who is holding the crown and watching quietly from the side.
This is the current situation inside and outside the battlefield.
In order to eliminate the obvious threat, Moses targeted Viper.
He knew very well what situation he would face next, so after killing Mantis, he decisively took the initiative to kill Viper.
The battle must be ended before Enhancer could free himself, so that the initiative can be held in his hand.
This is Moses's judgment.
And Moses's decisive move to kill once again aroused Viper's murderous intention.
With the situation as it was, Viper cannot expect Lion to end the battle quickly, let alone worry about whether it would affect Lion's fighting rhythm.
At this moment—
The arrow on the string had to be released.
Viper looked at Moses with face full of killing intent, preparing to set down the crown first and then go all out against the incoming Moses and Menchi.
However, just when he was about to put down the crown, he inexplicably hesitated.
What if he set down the crown now and something unexpected happened later?
This untimely hesitation caused Viper to delay his decision to set down the crown for about a second.
But soon, this hesitant thought, that should not have appeared at this time, was destroyed by the boiling killing intent in his heart.
Viper threw the crown onto the snakeskin bag next to him, and immediately moved to the left, which was exactly where Lion was.
Facing a Nen User who could take down Mantis, it is certainly impossible for Viper to fight while holding the crown.
But he could at least ensure that the next battle would not affect the crown placed on the snakeskin bag by shifting the battlefield.
If possible, he would even like to see Menchi lured over by the crown.
In this way, he can get a brief 'one-on-one' opportunity.
On top of a building somewhere.
Shalnark saw the crown that Viper thrown onto the snakeskin bag, and a glint flashed in his eyes.
Tonpa, who was hiding in a corner, also saw the magnificent and gorgeous crown, and was instantly stunned.
Viper's attention was focused on Moses and Menchi at the moment, and he did not notice the two pairs of eyes outside the battlefield fixated on the crown.
But even if he could sense the covetousness and greed of Tonpa and Shalnark for the crown, he had no extra energy to worry about more things.
Because-
The pressure from Moses and Menchi was already upon him.
'Conjuration Ability…'
Viper looked coldly at the black mud covering Moses's body.
'Mantis's death had forced out the information about the opponent's Nen Abilities.'
'The first is the ability to conjure a long sword, and the second is the unknown black object covering his body.'
'It was currently unclear whether the sword had any special abilities, but this black substance covering his body probably enhanced attack, defense, or speed.'
'The area covered is as high as 90%, plus a conjured sword, which means that his 'Nen intensity' will be very dispersed. This is my chance... But before taking action, I have to wait for him to conjure the sword.'
Viper stared closely at Moses and Menchi, using the existing information to quickly think of countermeasures.
Twenty meters—
The distance between the two sides narrowed down to this.
As Moses raised his hand, a black sword was conjured, yet to take its form.
In order to get the initiative as soon as possible, at this time, Moses wasn't going to let Menchi idle on the sidelines for the sake of rewards.
Now, the best course of action is to quickly take down the effeminate man with the numerical advantage, and then decide how to deal with the remaining Enhancer depending on the situation.
Seeing Moses taking the initiative in conjuring the black sword, a glimmer of light flashed deep in Viper's eyes.
'Very good, I have a better chance now.'
Viper's heart moved slightly.
By moving apparent aura to materialize the black sword, the intensity of the black substance covering Moses's body would inevitably decrease.
Originally a form of application that would disperse intensity, now with a portion of the intensity allocated to materializing the long sword, Viper can almost predict the strength of this 'black armor'.
'I'll use my [Twin Fangs] to finish you.'
Viper mobilized his Nen to gather on his hands, and instantly condensed into the shape of a purple fang. Then, he immediately stopped and looked at Moses, who had already ten meters away.
[Twin Fangs]
This is his Emission-Type Ability. He first gathered a large amount of Aura onto his hands, shaping it into the form of a fang, then launching it at the target.
The step of shaping the Aura into a fang seemed redundant.
But it is actually a means and method of Emission-Type Ability to enhance the power of attack.
During this shaping process, the density of the Aura was actually compressed.
There are a handful of master Emitters who can complete the shaping process of Aura as naturally as breathing.
Viper's mastery has not reached that level yet, so he couldn't complete the shaping of Aura so quickly.
But he doesn't need to pursue pure speed at all.
Because his [Twin Fangs] ability focused more on achieving the element of surprise in its attack.
One fang visible on the surface, while another fang hidden in secrecy.
This is the essence of his ability.
Moses looked at the large amount of Nen gathered on Viper's hands.
'Emitter…'
This scene is all too familiar to him.
When Menchi was training her abilities, she would gather a large amount of Aura on her hands like this.
Viper stared at Moses with sinister eyes.
"Bite through him!"
The purple fang formed in his hands shot towards Moses like an arrow released from a bow.
At the same time…
The other fang, which was hidden with In, also headed towards Moses along the ground.
The act of gathering a large amount of Nen on both hands was not only to accumulate Aura, but also to attract the opponent's attention better, thereby better concealing the shaping and movements of the other fang.
In previous battles, Viper used this [Twin Fangs] to kill many enemies instantly.
As long as the opponent does not have good fighting habits of using Gyo at any time, or wasn't proficient enough in using Gyo, they would basically fall into his hands.
And Viper used this killer move on Moses in order to be able to kill Moses with one blow.
As for the remaining female Nen User whose abilities are unknown, he can just deal with her slowly.
Seeing the purple fang coming at him, Moses remained calm on the surface, but inwardly marveled at the sneakiness of his opponent's ability.
'If it weren't for the fact that I had firmly using Gyo from the beginning, I'm afraid...'
As his thoughts turned, Moses reacted accordingly, skillfully flicking the black sword in his hand towards the ground.
In an instant, a stone slab was lifted by him and then hurled towards the purple fang.
Bang!
The moment the stone slab touched the purple fang, it exploded like a firework, sending up a large cloud of dust and debris.
Facing a full-power Emission-Type attack, ordinary stone slabs are as fragile as tofu, and at most, they can only reduce a small part of the power of the attack.
Amidst the billowing dust, Moses's upward-thrusting sword descended upon the purple fang that had pierced through the dust and debris.
In an instant—
Two streams of Nen from different directions collided with each other violently, the intense collision sending out energy shockwaves like thunderbolts in all directions.
At the next moment…
Under the strike of the black sword, the purple fang suddenly disintegrated.
However, the upper half of the black sword's blade also broke due to this attack and defense.
But at least it was blocked.
The large amount of smoke and dust swept up from the surroundings swallowed up Moses's figure.
Menchi, who was left behind, was not affected by the aftermath of the collision.
With absolute confidence in her master, she showed no intention of stopping. She bypassed the smoke and continued to rush towards Viper. A bright Nen was condensed on her hands, ready to attack.
At this time-
Moses's scream suddenly came from the smoke.
"Huh?!"
Menchi's heart shook, and she glanced at the smoke and dust from the corner of her eye.
Not far away, Viper also looked towards the smoke and dust, with a cold sneer at the corner of his mouth.
Under the gazes of Menchi and Viper, a figure was pushed out of the smoke. It turned out to be Moses, who had an unknown black substance attached to his body from the neck down.
He shot out of the smoke and dust like a rocket. And on his abdomen, there was a purple fang embedded deeply like a hook.
The scream just now was evidently caused by the attack of this fang.
