Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 168 Maha beats the enemy

It started when Illumi discovered my weakness...

The phrase "turn the tables" came to Moreau's mind.

Just as Ilmi had predicted his ability mechanism, he also predicted that Ilmi would be able to make the most correct judgment at the critical moment.

Therefore, Moro deliberately showed his confidence when he was seriously injured, just to guide Illumi to make such an "extremely correct" judgment.

He believed that Ilmi would be able to realize it and respond in a very short time.

So the flying star containing the power of seizing the essence, which should have only been able to lock onto ordinary needle men, actually hit the other two special needle men that Ilmi had voluntarily sent over.

As the Flying Star's Essence-Snatching Effect was activated, Moro's injuries began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The ability of Duocui Feixing to extract vitality can only work on "living things".

As for Ilmi's needle man, his brain was destroyed by the forced operation ability, and he is still a living being in essence.

The vitality of the two special needle men directly recovered most of Moro's injuries.

If he just took away the vitality of an ordinary needle man, Moreau would not be able to reverse the situation at all.

This decision is too critical.

He successfully misled Ilmi by pretending to be "injured" and cleverly walked on the edge of life and death.

Fortunately, Ilmi did not let him down.

The severe pain in Moro's body gradually disappeared, and he immediately retreated to create some distance while accumulating spiritual energy in his palms.

The next step is to kill that ordinary needle man so that the star mark can be transferred to Ilmi.

Unfortunately, the power of Duocui Feixing is not strong enough...

The composition of properties focuses more on the ability to extract activity.

Otherwise, if the power reaches the required level, it would be possible to eliminate all the needle men in one go, and then cause the star mark to be transferred to Ilmi.

Now we have to complete the step of dealing with the ordinary needle men, which is equivalent to giving Illumi time to react.

"The healing ability of the Strengthening System."

Ilmi saw the green fireflies flying out from the body of the special needle man, and also saw that the originally shaky Moro had suddenly recovered most of his condition, and he immediately understood.

Was the move from being wounded to turning from defense to offense just for this moment?

However, the possibility of "transferring harm" by acupuncture is still very high, and we must be on guard.

Ilmi's eyes turned cold instantly. He first glanced at Moro who was retreating and keeping some distance, and then looked at the ordinary needle man whose body was covered with sticky plasma.

"Condensation"

Ilmi's eyes lit up with the radiance of spiritual energy like torches.

With just a quick glance, he could see a star symbol shining faintly through the gaps in the plasma.

After confirming the existence of the "ability medium", Illumi narrowed his eyes slightly.

His reaction was—

Moro saw it.

"Too difficult."

Seeing that Ilmi did not rush to chase him, but instead used "Concentration" to carefully scan the situation of the ordinary needle men, Moro sighed in his heart.

This guy clearly possesses a significant combat advantage, but he has no desire to crush the enemy, nor does he have the mentality of "pursuing a one-hit kill" that is common among people with operational abilities.

Instead, he wanted to take complete control of the situation step by step.

So much so that when the situation changes, the first reaction is to eliminate potential threats.

"We can't use Duocui Feixing anymore. We have to get rid of the ordinary needle man quickly!"

From Ilmi's reaction, Moro keenly captured the key information, but he was not greedy at all. He would rather give up the opportunity to fully recover and ensure that the ordinary needle man was eliminated as quickly as possible.

Immediately,

Moro decisively abandoned the weaker and slower Duocui Flying Star and instead released the normal flying star.

But in order to prevent Ilmi from noticing the clues, Moro shot out two flying stars at once.

One was shot at Ilmi and the other was shot at the ordinary needle man.

This way, the true intention can be diluted.

Of course there is nothing wrong with Morrow's choice.

But he overlooked an important point.

During the time he was mastering the ability of Nen, he did not have the extra time and energy to improve his proficiency in advanced application techniques such as "flow" and "hard".

Therefore, within the very limited gaps in the transition of thoughts, the degree of coordination of mind and energy cannot be as efficient as that of a first-rate master.

Therefore, his two flying stars focused more on speed without taking power into consideration.

This leads to——

The moment Ilmi saw the two flying stars, he further confirmed his guess and also realized Moro's true intention.

The basis for his judgment was that the power of the flying star was not enough to pose a threat to him.

But it can easily destroy ordinary needle men.

"To cut off the thoughts in the needle man..."

Ilmi's reaction was extremely quick. After Moro released the flying star, he immediately waved his hand and shot a mental needle at the ordinary needle man.

He wanted to cut off the telekinesis applied to ordinary needle men in order to eliminate the possible threat of "damage transfer".

However, due to the way the thought needle worked, it nailed the "thought" to the target through the bead-tipped needle, so he couldn't directly discard the thought imposed on the needled person through the air.

This can only be done by violently destroying the needle.

Before that, ordinary needle people must not be harmed.

Swah——

The Nian needle seemed to have eyes and intercepted the flying stars shot towards the ordinary needle man with incredible precision.

boom!
The two collided in mid-air and suddenly exploded.

If there weren't so many mind needles on the heads of ordinary needle men, perhaps the mind needles thrown out would not be used to intercept the mind bullets, but to directly destroy the mind needles on the heads of the needle men.

at the same time.

Another flying star hit Ilmi directly.

However, Illumi managed to withstand it by relying on his telepathic defense, and apart from some large burn marks on his clothes, he suffered no substantial damage.

"come over!"

Immediately afterwards, Ilmi gave orders to the ordinary needle man who escaped the disaster, and at the same time moved towards the ordinary needle man.

The crucial flying star was intercepted by Ilmi.

Moro's eyes narrowed slightly, realizing that Ilmi had probably thought of a way to deal with it, and he also realized that he had just made a mistake.

The habitual behavior of planting a star and keeping a distance...

It was used in previous battles in order to free up more time to enhance the lethality of the Fraud Flying Star.

This moment actually gave Ilmi the opportunity to accurately intercept the flying star.

But it has to be said.

Compared with previous opponents, Ilmi's combat awareness is too strong, and he can always curb his tactical intentions as accurately as a scalpel.

"no solution anymore."

Moro felt that Ilmi was difficult to deal with, so he decisively gave up the idea of moving the star mark. Instead, he concentrated his mental energy, calibrated the angle, and released a deceptive flying star to the rear.

call out--!
The Fraudulent Flying Star hovered a hundred meters behind, then its power increased dramatically and turned back to shoot towards Moro.

This is the original cheating flying star usage that does not rely on the star positioning effect.

The next moment, Morrow moved sideways.

The returning Fraud Flying Star passed in front of him, carrying with it an astonishing momentum, and flew towards the ordinary needle man.

At this time, Ilmi had already begun to destroy the mental needles on the ordinary needle men.

Moro was staring at this moment.

The fraudulent flying star hit the ordinary needle man.

The violent energy contained within it suddenly vented, forming a violent explosion, stirring up a large amount of smoke and debris. Such noise startled flocks of birds in the surrounding forest.

Seeing that the Fraud Flying Star had definitely hit the ordinary needle man, Moro took a deep breath, and the energy on his palm once again became as sharp as a stalactite, and then condensed into a ball at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"My 'hard' is terrible."

While gathering his mental energy, Moro talked to himself.

The essence of the condensed flying star attack is to use the "condensation" technique to concentrate most of the mental energy in the hands, and then release it all at once.

That is to say, you can also use "hard" techniques to accumulate the energy of the whole body to one point, and then form a more powerful attack force.

It’s just that Moreau’s grasp of “hardness” is too poor.

If it was during his daily practice, he could use the "hard" techniques smoothly, but the whole process took too long to complete and could not be applied in combat at all.

Advanced application skills like these cannot be applied directly after learning them.

If not applied quickly enough, these advanced application skills will only hinder themselves.

"The star disappeared."

Moro looked at the diffuse smoke and dust, and his eyes suddenly changed.

The attack just now still failed to transfer the star mark to Ilmi...

Thinking of this, Moro raised his hand and shot a flying star into the rising smoke and dust, and was about to escape.

But at this moment, a bead-tipped needle wrapped with condensed spiritual energy emerged from the smoke and dust and accurately pierced the flying star in the air.

In an instant,
Like a needle piercing a balloon, the flying star suddenly exploded in mid-air.

next moment.

Ilmi's figure pierced through the smoke and dust, and launched an attack against the surging air waves caused by the explosion.

There were patches of dirt on his body.

Her originally smooth long hair was now a mess, and her clothes were torn in many places.

Although Moro's Fraudulent Flying Star failed to transfer the star mark to Ilmi, he also took the opportunity to injure Ilmi who was focusing on destroying the mind needle.

So much so that Moro felt the anger and even heavier and colder murderous intent from Ilmi's aura.

Even if the opponent is a monster born in the deformed environment of the Zoldyck family, he is still a human being in essence and cannot abandon the emotions that humans should have.

So when "the situation" breaks free from its reins like a wild horse, the monsters bred in the deformed soil of the Zoldyck family will also be angry about it.

There was no time to think about whether this discovery could be used, because Ilmi had already appeared in front of him at an astonishing speed.

Even without the cover and assistance of the Needle Man, Illumi still has strong frontal combat capabilities.

In a sense, Illumi, who does not need to disperse the manifestation energy to the needle man, is actually more like an enhanced system that is extremely proficient in close combat capabilities.

"Starlight Condensation"

Feeling the direct pressure from Illumi, Moro immediately used his ability.

The spiritual energy lingering around him suddenly shattered into starlight, enveloping the rushing Ilmi.

Ilmi attacked Moro without hesitation.

It was still the simplest attack method, with the deterrent power of the mind needle, which forced Moro to the edge of the cliff in just a glance.

However, in the Star State, Moro could only mobilize a small amount of mental energy. When facing an opponent of Ilmi's level, he had no way of taking the initiative and could only try his best to avoid attacks.

Therefore, this rather passive situation confined to the starlight state is equivalent to giving Illumi the capital to act recklessly.

But if I don’t have the ability of “Starlight Condensation”…

Moro didn't even have the qualifications to confront Ilmi.

Clang!
The red crystal blade blocked the needle stabbed by Ilmi.

Relying on the length advantage of the bird knife, Moro barely blocked Ilmi's attack.

However, Ilmi used the strength of his knuckles to forcibly eject the deflected mental needle towards Moro in front of him.

Such a shocking blow,
Fortunately, Moro had the ability to condense starlight, and he narrowly avoided it by turning his head.

But this also gave Illumi the opportunity to continue the offensive.

Ilmi took a step forward and raised his knee to charge into Moro's abdomen.

Moro hastily raised his other hand to block Ilmi's knee attack.

Bang.

The collision between the limbs suddenly created a wave of air.

At this moment, Ilmi's left hand pierced towards Moro's chest like a poisonous snake coming out of a hole.

Until now——

Illumi showed the usual "one-hit-kill" style of a control-type ability user.

The only difference is that Ilmi didn't use the mind needle, but instead used special techniques to change the structure of his palm, making it as sharp as a knife.

This is a skill passed down from generation to generation in the Zoldyck family.

But Illumi used his telekinesis to improve this technique, making his palm blade sharper and longer.

With this length advantage, Ilmi's palm knife drove straight in and touched Moro's death line in an instant.

With the information feedback from the stars, Moro is fully capable of defending against Ilmi's fatal move.

But he also knew that even if he blocked this attack, Ilmi would still have another attack.

Rather than being gradually devoured by Ilmi, it would be better to gamble his life decisively and fight to the point of mutual destruction!

In a flash, Moreau made his decision.

But just as he was about to take action, an indescribable murderous intent suddenly burst out from the trial gate.

This murderous intent weighed heavily on Moro and Ilmi.

In an instant, Moreau seemed to be thrown into a bottomless sea.

Cold, suffocating, heavy...

Even though Moro had a strong character, he was still vulnerable in the face of this murderous intent.

Suddenly, the starlight that filled the surroundings trembled violently as if the data was disordered, as if it would collapse in the next moment.

"Oops……"

Affected by this murderous intent, Moro's heart was shocked.

However, Moro was not the only one affected by the murderous intent.

Ilmi was like being hit by a spell and forcibly stopped his attack.

This is because the source of this terrifying murderous intent is his great-grandfather Maha Zoldyck.

Ilmi was shocked at first, then confused.

Why did my great-grandfather come forward?

Was it Kurt who invited him out?
Moro took this opportunity to distance himself and looked in the direction of the murderous intent.

What caught my eye was a short old man with a hairless face covered in wrinkles, bags under his eyes, and a wide mouth that stretched out on both sides of his cheeks.

At first glance, it looks like an anthropomorphic frog.

He is Kurt's great-grandfather Maha, and the most powerful and mysterious person in the Zoldyck family.

No wonder there is such a terrifying murderous intent...

Moreau looked extremely solemn.

Under the gazes of Moro and Ilmi, Maha, wearing a pair of shabby slippers, seemed to have no awareness of inciting murderous intent, and walked slowly towards a canvas bag on the ground.

That was the canvas bag that Morrow and Ilmi threw away before the fight.

Maha came to the canvas bag, then slowly squatted down and took out a pair of big-eyed frog sunglasses that had not yet been launched on the market from the open canvas bag.

Then he put on the big-eyed frog sunglasses with great interest, took out his mobile phone as if no one was around, and took a selfie.

"..."

"..."

Moro and Ilmi watched this scene in silence.
