'Shadow Riding Line'!
'Super Whip'!
These are the true identities of the second 'Ethan' and the 'White Lightning' from before.
Ethan's approach in the battle with Hisoka was meticulous and well-prepared.
In addition to fiercely fighting Hisoka, he secretly prepared the "Shadow Riding Line" technique in advance, allowing him to use the "Super Whip" for long-range support.
After severing Hisoka's left leg, his right arm was also cut off.
Hisoka's injuries were severe.
Ethan felt no pity for Hisoka. Instead, he planned to use decisive measures to finish him off.
Using 'Unknowable as Darkness' instantly, Ethan rushed forward after severing Hisoka's right arm with 'Super Whip,' aiming to secure a decisive victory.
Uh-huh!
The 'Super Whip' attack not only took Hisoka's right arm but the impact also sent him flying.
However, just as Ethan approached, Hisoka suddenly shot sideways like a bullet from a gun.
In Ethan's enhanced vision using "Gyo," he saw Hisoka extend a [Bungee Gum], pulling himself along.
And more [Bungee Gum] kept appearing.
After reaching one point, a second [Bungee Gum] appeared, continuing to retract to its limit, pulling Hisoka along.
Hisoka's ultra-fast movement resembled a snake gliding over the ground. In a few flashes, he was nearing the dense forest by the coast.
"Trying to escape?!"
Arriving at Hisoka's previous location, Ethan quickly turned and spotted Hisoka. Recognizing his movements, he immediately understood Hisoka's intent.
Activating the "Field of Threads" spread underground across hundreds of meters, he extended a series of "Line Guns" near Hisoka. As they burst from the ground with force, they aimed directly at Hisoka.
Uh-huh!
Suddenly, a shadow emerged from the dense forest toward which Hisoka was heading. In an instant, it intercepted Hisoka, then turned and vanished into the lush forest.
Boom boom boom! ! !
The 'Line Gun' bombardment hit only air, creating deep craters in the spot where Hisoka had been, sending dust flying.
"What?!"
The shadow appeared and vanished swiftly, but Ethan identified it briefly and frowned at the realization.
"Illumi? Did Hisoka come here to find him? Was it because I had Lisa as backup, or did Illumi intervene to save Hisoka on his own?"
The shadow that rescued Hisoka was none other than Illumi.
He concealed himself well, and even Ethan hadn't detected him.
The sudden appearance and rescue of Hisoka by Illumi halted Ethan's pursuit.
Not only did Illumi leave quickly, reducing the chance of a successful chase, but his presence also posed a significant threat.
Regardless of Illumi's reasons or motives for saving Hisoka, Ethan judged him to be on Hisoka's side.
If pursued, Illumi might join the battle.
Despite incapacitating one of Hisoka's legs and an arm, Hisoka wasn't entirely helpless.
Illumi's strength was likely comparable to Hisoka's. After battling Hisoka, though victorious, Ethan's energy reserves were depleted.
Even with Lisa's help, taking on Illumi and an injured yet dangerous Hisoka would be a daunting challenge.
A figure approached quickly—it was Lisa.
"Was that Illumi just now? Why would he save Hisoka? What's the connection between them?"
With Hisoka rescued, the battle naturally ended. Lisa had also identified the rescuer as Illumi. As she approached, she warily eyed the direction Illumi had vanished, questioning Ethan.
"There's some connection between them, but I don't know the details," Ethan replied, dispersing the 'Shadow Riding Line' and the underground 'Field of Threads.'
Though the Thread Fruit didn't drain Nen, it consumed significant physical energy. Especially these advanced techniques, which demanded even more stamina.
"A troublesome guy. If he hadn't intervened, Hisoka wouldn't have escaped your pursuit," Lisa remarked, clearly displeased.
Indeed, being hindered from finishing a formidable enemy is frustrating.
Ethan felt the same.
"I hope Illumi offers a reasonable explanation in the future. Otherwise, I don't mind clashing with the Zoldyck family," Ethan stated calmly.
His calm tone underscored the cold resolve within him.
"The Zoldyck family..."
Lisa stood by Ethan without hesitation, narrowing her eyes with a quick smile.
The Zoldyck family was indeed powerful, but that didn't make them invincible. Ethan had the confidence to challenge them, and Lisa shared his resolve.
Suddenly, Ethan turned toward the dense forest nearby and called out, "You've been watching for a while without saying hello, or are you waiting for a chance to snatch our tags?"
Lisa also turned, her expression unsurprised, having sensed the hidden presence long ago.
After a brief silence, footsteps approached, and a figure emerged from the forest.
It was Kurapika.
"Don't misunderstand; I'm not here to grab tags. I just came to witness a rare battle," Kurapika said, raising his hands to show no hostility.
But his gaze at Ethan betrayed a deeper curiosity.
