______________

A crystal emitting white light!

It was inserted into Uvogin's chest, and blood dripped from the blade.

Uvogin looked up at Rocky, holding the huge sword, his eyes wide open.

Just a teleportation!

He could actually attack like this, increasing his strength through continuous teleportation!

He held the huge sword tightly with both hands but still failed to block the impact.

The blade almost penetrated his body by nearly ten centimeters.

Uvogin could feel that if the attack had shifted even a little bit, if it had pierced his heart, he probably would've died...

He was a top-tier Enhancer Nen user, yet he was almost killed by a mere kid!

The pain didn't make Uvogin afraid; instead, it seemed to fuel his rage.

In an instant, like a wild beast, he pulled the sword out of his chest, grabbed it, and yanked it back, trying to catch Rocky.

At this moment, the sword shattered and turned into white crystals, dissipating into the air. Almost simultaneously, the crystals re-condensed about ten meters away, and Rocky appeared.

Rocky was panting heavily.

He was drenched in sweat, his energy severely depleted, and it was hard for him to recover.

His condition wasn't good.

This move had been the strongest attack Rocky could manage at that moment. It drained nearly two-thirds of his energy, but he still hadn't managed to injure Uvogin.

Uvogin should've been down by now, but his energy seemed unaffected.

In fact, Uvogin's enraged eyes were no longer calm. If he attacked again, he wouldn't care about the mission anymore.

He wanted to kill Rocky!

A Nen user who could leave wounds on him at this age...

Killing someone like that would bring him immense satisfaction.

Feeling Uvogin's increasingly terrifying aura, Rocky quickly tried to recover, adjusting his condition as best he could.

"Ahhh!"

"I've witnessed an incredible sight!"

Suddenly, another voice rang out, and Rocky's expression changed immediately.

But before he could turn around, Rocky felt a searing pain all over his body as something cut open the skin on his arms, chest, and calves.

His subconscious mind surged, covering his body with Nen, making a sizzling sound as it activated.

Rocky looked carefully.

He didn't know when he had become trapped by a nearly invisible, transparent thread.

His body... couldn't move!

Machi slowly walked out, pulling the thread in her hand.

"This kid's pretty powerful!"

"He actually hurt a monster like you!"

Uvogin's face grew darker. Anyone who was embarrassed like this probably wouldn't feel good.

"Why are you here?" Uvogin growled.

Machi tugged on the thread and said, "There's such a big commotion here, of course I had to come check it out!"

"Let go of that kid," Uvogin demanded. "I still have to continue fighting him!"

Machi paused, a bit speechless. "Are you an idiot? Why let him go after you've already caught him?"

At that moment, Uvogin wasn't sure whether Rocky could still use Apparition in this state. He was considering his options.

Suddenly, the Sword of the Wise King appeared beside Machi, and it darted toward her neck with speed.

Machi's reaction was quick. She bent backward, locking eyes on the sword that came from the blind spot of her vision.

She was briefly stunned.

The ability to control weapons in mid-air?

Snap!

With a sharp crack, white crystals suddenly condensed.

Rocky appeared in front of Machi, holding the Sword of the Wise King and stabbing toward her.

At the same time, Machi felt the thread in her hand loosen. Escape?

How did this kid do it?

Swish!

Machi flipped, supporting herself with her hands, and kicked at Rocky with blinding speed.

The strike should have hit.

But Rocky's body flickered again, disappearing and reappearing directly from the left to the right.

"What?"

Machi felt the shift in nen on the other side but was too slow to react.

A Sword pierced Machi's abdomen.

Rocky was momentarily stunned. He thought the attack would only cause minor damage, but he hadn't expected it to pierce through so deeply.

That's right.

Not everyone was a monstrous Enhancer like Uvogin.

Machi wasn't an Enhancer.

"Hey!"

"Boy... you've got quite a few tricks!"

At that moment, Rocky's eyes widened, and the voice behind him made his hair stand on end.

"I've got you now…"

A large hand grabbed Rocky's leg, and a terrifying presence filled the air.

Instantly, a punch landed with a sonic boom!

Rocky turned his head just in time to see Uvogin's fist heading straight toward him.

A super-destructive punch!

A blow from the top-tier Enhancer Nen user, Uvogin.

If that hit, it wouldn't just be death.

At that moment, Uvogin had completely disregarded the mission's orders, driven only by the desire to crush Rocky, that little brat.

Rocky's eyes locked onto Uvogin.

While being held, he couldn't use Apparition perfectly.

But just because he couldn't use it perfectly didn't mean he couldn't use it at all.

Crack!

A loud, crisp sound of bone breaking rang out.

Uvogin's eyes narrowed sharply.

Swish!

A trickle of red blood floated from the corner of his eye, falling along his cheek.

At the same time, when Uvogin released the Super Destruction Fist, although it seemed like nothing had been hit, a deafening roar rang out.

The force of the blast destroyed five or six trees in the distance, like an air cannon.

Uvogin, who had stopped, wiped the blood from the corner of his eye. A ten-centimeter-long wound had appeared on his left cheek.

Blood flowed steadily from the wound.

His left hand, still clutching Rocky's foot, trembled.

Uvogin's brow furrowed.

This kid... actually abandoned his leg and teleported?

Looking up, Rocky was propped up by the Sword of the Wise King, his face as pale as a sheet.

Machi rolled over, quickly stitching herself up with one hand.

"What's up with this kid? How is he so fast?"

Machi's expression was no longer as relaxed as it had been before.

Uvogin's low voice rumbled: "That's not speed. It's teleportation. This kid's ability lets him teleport to the position of his weapon!"

Wiping the blood off his face—though it would heal again in a second—Uvogin didn't expect this kid to take advantage of the moment when he focused his nen energy to unleash the Super Destruction Fist.

Otherwise, the kid wouldn't have hurt him at all.

Throwing the broken leg aside, Uvogin gritted his teeth.

"Your reaction just now was good. You were able to saved your life. But how much fighting power do you have left now, kid?"

Machi, too, was surprised. Was this really just a little kid?

At that moment, Rocky had made a quick, decisive choice—saving his own life and even hurting Uvogin, though it wasn't a fatal wound.

Rocky glanced at Machi, who had finished stitching herself up, and then at Uvogin, whose energy was still stable and incredibly powerful.

He raised his hand!

He threw the Sword of the Wise King directly at Uvogin.

At that moment, Uvogin sneered. Was this kid planning to fight to the death?
