In the courtyard.
Moses still swung his long sword tirelessly.
Days passed like this, one after another.
Soon, two months went by.
During this time, Moses not only continued his routine of ten thousand swings.
As long as his Aura and physical strength allowed, even after completing the ten thousand swings, he would stay in the icy snow and continue swinging his sword.
This has become his habit.
After getting Moses's permission, Pyon had been staying at the temple for the past two months.
She never disturbed Moses's training. Only when Moses had free time would she pester him, loudly proclaiming her desire for revenge and to even the score.
Regrettably-
No matter how many times they faced off, Pyon was always the abused party.
This is her and Moses's daily routine.
As time passed, the relationship between the two had some subtle changes compared to before.
Or rather…
Their daily interactions, conversations, and even physical contact had begun to take on the semblance of a budding romance.
Meanwhile, in order to get free meals every day, Kanzai had actually stayed in the temple for more than two months too.
According to Menchi, she didn't expect that there were two shameless people.
Kanzai, however, didn't care about Menchi's sharp words at all.
For him, as long as he could enjoy a delicious meal every day, it was worth it to stay here shamelessly.
Of course, the most important thing is that had no work to do during this period.
Otherwise, he couldn't have been as leisurely as Pyon, staying in one place for over two months.
And so…
On the day of the beginning of spring, Moses welcomed his last day of sword swinging training.
As long as he completes the ten thousand sword swings today, he would receive the corresponding reward.
Throughout the rather long hours of swinging the sword countless times, Moses hadn't particularly anticipated the reward.
But now that it has reached the last step, the anticipation in his heart inevitably soared to the peak.
'What kind of reward will it be...'
'If it's an ability, it would be best if it's a Nen Ability like 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva.'
As Moses swung his sword, his thoughts already drifted to the impending reward.
He wondered…
Since Netero was able to gradually comprehend the 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva after ten thousand punches…
then it wouldn't be strange for him to achieve a similar result after ten thousand sword swings, right?
With this in mind…
Moses held a certain level of expectation.
At the edge of the courtyard.
Pyon and Kanzai sat on the stone benches, and as usual, watching Moses train whenever they had free time.
Menchi was also nearby.
But she is not as idle as Pyon and Kanzai. She has to complete her daily training every day, especially the mastery of the Hatsu technique, which was crucial for improving her Emitter Ability.
Interestingly…
When Menchi was practicing her Hatsu, Rat Jewel would sneak over to absorb some energy.
Over time, Menchi got used to Rat Jewel's behavior of stealing energy.
…
Two hours later.
Moses swung his sword for the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-ninth time.
"Just one more swing."
At this moment, Moses's eyes became extremely focused.
With the next swing, he might be able to undergo some transformation.
Perhaps, that could also mean that he would say goodbye to his sword-swinging training that had lasted for a year and three months.
'No matter what the reward is, I'll accept it calmly.'
'Because in the process of this training, I've already gained what I need most.'
Moses gazed forward, his mind serene.
Silently, a surge of Nen appeared in his right hand and in the blink of an eye, it conjured into a black sword.
With a slight sharp sound of breaking through the air, the black sword slashed forward, and the blade light disappeared in an instant.
In the next instant.
That long-lost familiar voice echoed deep in his consciousness.
[You have completed the Regular Ten Thousand Sword Swings, your All Extinct +1.]
[You have completed the Regular Ten Thousand Sword Swings, your Ko +1.]
[You have completed the Regular Ten Thousand Sword Swings, your upper limit of Manifested Aura +15%.]
Receiving a wealth of information about the reward from Perception, Moses felt a stir in his heart.
Ko +1 and the upper limit of Manifested Aura +15% are both relatively standard gains.
Instead, it was [All Extinct +1' that made Moses curious.
As he withdrew and dispelled the black sword, he closed his eyes and let his consciousness sink into the depths of his consciousness.
In the familiar space filled with countless stars, a new element had appeared: a flame burning brightly in the night.
Not far from the flame, there are two black balls of Nen floating in the air, pulsating with energy.
Those black balls of Nen are the emotion fragments that Moses extracted after exorcising the Eye of Sight and Libra, representing the attributes of 'Illusion' and 'Decay' respectively.
Moses's awareness brushed past these fragments and reached towards the burning flame.
In an instant, a torrent of information about [All Extinct] flooded into Moses's mind.
'Another buff-like ability...'
Moses was slightly surprised.
The so-called All Extinct is an ability that allows him to collect killing intent and then use it to refine his 'Momentum'.
But rather than being an ability, it is more like a buff similar to Star of Mankind's Shine.
Essentially--
Momentum can also be understood as the Aura released by a Nen User.
It's just that the intensity of this Momentum is closely related to the total amount of Aura that is manifested.
In other words, a Nen User who have a weaker Manifested Aura would inevitably have weaker Momentum.
Conversely, a Nen User who have a very Manifested Aura can create a frightening and daunting Momentum simply by opening their Aura Nodes and released their Aura.
The Momentum alone can cause people to have a fight-or-flight response, affecting their body and potentially causing a momentary vision of 'how they might die'.
The most notable examples from the original work were undoubtedly the Ant King Meruem and his three Royal Guards.
Their terrifying Manifested Aura allowed them to overpower a large number of Nen Users with sheer Momentum.
Another example was Ging Freecss.
After he broke into Beyond's team alone, he used his Momentum to make a member of Beyond's team experience a vision of 'their own death', thereby robbing them of their will to fight.
The All Extinct given to Moses this time is precisely a passive buff ability that allows Moses to refine his Momentum.
Normally speaking, there is a certain upper limit to the total amount of Aura that Nen Users can manifest, so in terms of condensing Momentum, even if one spends their entire life, they will never be able to reach the level of the Ant King Meruem.
But All Extinct provided Moses with that potential.
