Moses, Shizuku, and Menchi all stared at the Divine Script Ging had just completed.
The strokes were of varying thicknesses, some straight, some curved, and there were even tadpole-like strokes that resembled patterns.
Despite the diversity of forms, they all came together to form a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing composition.
This was a complete Divine Script, and it was just the most basic form of its application.
Ging gathered a mass of Nen in his right hand and gently pressed it onto the table.
At the moment his hand touched the surface, the Nen embedded in the Divine Script suddenly reappeared, glowing like fireflies as it traced along every stroke and line.
In an instant, the entire table was enveloped in a thin, membrane-like layer of Nen.
Under this protective layer of Nen, the table withstood Ging's palm strike.
If it were just an ordinary table in its natural state...
A simple, light strike with Nen-infused force would have caused it to collapse instantly.
'The effect was indeed comparable to Shu.'
Moses's eyes gleamed with realization.
'Does this mean that...'
'As long as one Divine Script with reinforcement effects onto an object, the object would naturally gain the effect of Shu?'
'But that didn't seem right.'
'The Divine Script was also driven by Nen, meaning that during the process of engraving it, a portion of one's Nen must be diverted into it.'
'With that logic, wouldn't it be easier to just directly use Shu instead of going through the extra effort of engraving the Divine Script on an item?'
'So, perhaps the Divine Script was more of a support tool?'
As Moses continued to think, another idea came to mind-
'Shu involves wrapping external Nen around an object to enhance its strength.'
'But the range that Nen can cover is limited.'
'However, if the Divine Script is used, its effect could theoretically cover much larger objects, breaking through known limits.'
'And based on what Ging had just said-'
'Theoretically, as long as the modules can be stacked continuously, then the reinforcement power of the Divine Script could cover an area without limits, right?'
'Even able to cover an entire continent?'
'If so, then the Divine Script embedded in that mysterious ruin, which contained teleportation capabilities, might indeed be able to spread across an entire continent?'
'In that case, wouldn't it essentially be a massive teleportation array?'
'However, to create such a large-scale teleportation Divine Script, one would likely need to divert all of their Manifested Aura into it, leaving them unable to use their own Nen for anything else.'
'Additionally, if any accident happens, the Divine Script that is infused with the Nen will be instantly invalidated. In a sense, there is also a timeliness issue that must be faced.'
'Huh?'
'Unless-'
'Post-Mortem Nen!'
'If a Divine Script were created under such conditions, would that mean its effects would permanently remain and even become stronger over time?'
'So, could the teleportation Divine Script in that unknown ruin...'
'Actually be the work of one or multiple Nen Users who engraved it during their lifetimes, and then, after their deaths, the Nen embedded in the Divine Script lingered and became stronger and more resilient?'
Moses suddenly found himself startled by his own thought.
This kind of wild and imaginative expectation is too unrealistic for him who is not even a beginner now.
Ging observed the thoughtful expression on Moses's face.
He held onto some hope that Moses might display talent in mastering the Divine Script.
At this time, the tavern owner, Isaac, brought over a steaming wine jug.
This was the most expensive drink Ging had ordered, which required heating before being served. This also explained why Isaac hadn't brought it out immediately.
At this moment, Moses's mind was all about the world of the Divine Script that Ging had described, and he had no interest in the so-called most expensive wine.
Now, he just wants to memorize all the basic strokes as quickly as possible.
One year is fine…
As long as he could successfully create his first module!
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Moses furrowed his brow, and the thoughtful look in his eyes faded away like the tide, replaced by a look of surprise.
The people around him were all paying attention to the wine jug brought by Isaac, so they didn't notice the sudden change in Moses's eyes.
'Divine Script learning efficiency +100%...'
Moses thought to himself in astonishment.
It was a reward given to him by Perception just moments ago. It's a buff that would accelerate his progress in mastering the Divine Script, though it would only last until he completed his initiation into the Divine Script world.
Besides the buff, a fourth green orb had condensed on the [Path of Legend] stone tablet in his consciousness space, which meant that his reputation has skyrocketed again.
And this buff reward is the actual benefit brought about by the sudden surge in fame.
His name-
Is becoming known by more and more people.
…
The youngest Single Star Pro Hunter in the history of the Hunter Association, and also Blacklist Hunter, which is the most dangerous line of work.
This news sent shockwaves across the Hunter website.
Moses's feats in hunting down the Phantom Troupe and the Erimo Bandit Group shone with dazzling brilliance.
On the bounty board of the Hunter website, where the rankings of Blacklist Hunters' activity levels were displayed, Moses's name firmly held the top spot.
His activity score was more than a thousand times higher than the second-place hunter.
Such an outrageous gap also indirectly shows how active Moses has been during this period.
After all, he not only broke three of the Spider's legs, but had also taken down several core members of the Erimo Bandit Group, including their leader, Miro, whom Moses had personally hunted.
Such an achievement accomplished in a short period of time is unprecedented, just like his achievement as the youngest Single Star Pro Hunter.
As a result, his name surged into the top ten on the leaderboard that represented the overall achievements of Blacklist Hunters.
At only sixteen years old, Moses seems out of place in this leaderboard.
Because everyone else on the list was at least in their thirties, with the oldest being seventy-one.
Just from these few data points, there was no need for the Hunter Association to promote him further. The Blacklist Hunters who frequented the website had already come to recognize Moses's overwhelming strength.
Moses's feat of breaking three of the Spider's legs had thrust him into the spotlight of many Blacklist Hunters.
Then, his subsequent exploits in hunting down Miro and other members of the Erimo Bandit Group thoroughly deepened their impression and understanding of Moses.
In this way, they had witnessed history and the start of a legend.
And so, countless eyes were now fixed on Moses's name, wondering...
What shocking news would come next as Moses continued on his path to legend?
However…
Everyone, who are thrilled and captivated by these events, had no idea that the legend they were closely following might soon disappear from their sight.
Perhaps in a year, or three years...
Or even longer.
