Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 198 Rationality x Emotion

The sudden increase in his apparent strength also signifies Feitan's death.

Morrow watched the scorching sun dissipate over the cemetery, then glanced down at the back of his hand.

The character representing the level had unknowingly changed to Lv.52.

Feitan's level is definitely over 60.

Even when using Nen abilities, the immense and powerful aura that Moro sensed was definitely not low in terms of level.

However, this breakthrough in the upper limit is mainly due to Nen ability, similar to the ability of a knight, rather than Feitan's true level.

Nevertheless, Moro believed that there should be at least a ten-level difference between him and Feitan, but he did not expect that after killing Feitan, he would only gain two levels.

only--

Moro slowly raised his right hand, gazing at the torrent of energy manifesting in his palm and even his entire arm.

Such a significant change in intensity cannot be attributed to a mere level 2.

"As expected, level 51 is a watershed moment."

Moro silently experienced the significant change in his manifested energy.

He could indeed feel a steady increase in his manifested Qi as he progressed from level 40 to level 50.

However, the numerical increase at each level is too fixed. Judging from his experience, even if he reaches level 60, 70, or 80, compared to the aura he witnessed from Maha before...

There will still be an insurmountable gap.

Therefore, within this framework of numerically quantified capabilities, there is likely to be a dividing line.

Based on common sense, Morrow initially speculated that, limited by the watershed of the level framework, it would most likely appear at the middle value of level 50.

However, when he actually reached level 50, the increase in his displayed Qi remained stable, without any significant breakthrough.

He then referenced the mechanism that required reaching level 21 to awaken and develop Nen abilities, and thus speculated that the change might not occur until level 51.

Now, with his breakthrough to level 51, his manifest energy has indeed made a qualitative leap.

"besides……"

Moro turned his gaze to the back of his left hand.

The red X symbol that originally represented the death node has now disappeared.

The sense of urgency from the time commitment dissipated, and Moro instantly felt much more relaxed.

While feeling relaxed, a faint sense of regret and pity also arose in my heart.

The disappearance of the death node meant that he could no longer use that realistic death replay, which also meant that he lost a unique way of cultivation.

Thinking of this, Moro shook his head slightly, putting that regret behind him.

Now that the death threshold has been broken and the ability to sense killing intent has reached a very high level, actively experiencing a real death replay is tantamount to forcing oneself to suffer.

Feitan is dead.

Neither now nor in the future, anything about Feitan is no longer worth having in his life.

Moro slowly withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Kurapika and Kalmod.

The two were still in shock, clearly stunned by the power of the scorching sun.

Moro could understand their feelings.

Feitan's "Scorching Sun" has many drawbacks, from its release conditions to its release process.

However, once successfully released, its power surpasses the limits of human resilience.

Even the Chimera Ant Master, who possesses a greater manifest power than humans in the original work, would completely lose his ability to resist under the scorching sun.

Only the fireproof suit that Feitan materialized was completely immune to any kind of damage caused by the scorching sun.

Therefore, the original statement that "only thought can counteract thought" is still quite reasonable.

Kurapika and Kalmod were naturally shocked by the power unleashed by the scorching sun, but they immediately noticed the ease that Morrow exuded and realized something.

"Is it over, Moro?"

Kurt suppressed the turmoil in his heart, tilted his head slightly to look at Morrow, and asked softly.

Moro nodded and said, "Yes, it's over."

Upon hearing Moro's words, Kurt's face immediately lit up with a smile of happiness for Moro, but he couldn't help thinking that Moro was indeed more capable...

Even with such a strong Nen ability, Moro was able to defeat the opponent in such a short time.

Then, Kurt remembered his father's warning to them.

Don't mess with the Phantom Troupe...

Only after witnessing firsthand the strength displayed by one of the members can one truly appreciate the weight of this warning.

"I'm not even close yet."

Kurt thought to himself.

Beside him, Kurapika stood there speechless, looking somewhat bewildered and lost.

Moro, however, noticed the blood spreading at Kurapika's feet.

In order to torture Kurapika to death, Feitan deliberately inflicted many non-fatal knife wounds on him.

As the torrential rain washed away the blood flowing from the wound, it gathered at Kurapika's feet.

"Kurapika, use your ability to heal your wounds first."

Moro spoke up to remind him.

Kurapika slowly came to his senses, not understanding what Moro was saying, and asked blankly, "What?"

"Isn't your ability to heal?"

Moro asked back, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Kurapika said blankly, "My abilities can't heal..." "Huh?"

Moro paused for a moment.

Kurapika seemed to have lost too much blood, his voice becoming weak and feeble, "My abilities are the middle finger binding chain for offense and the Soul-Chasing Chain for automatic target acquisition and defense... They do not have healing abilities."

"Yeah……"

Moro's eyes flickered slightly as he realized that, under the influence of the butterfly effect he had created, Kurapika had still developed the power of the Contract Chains, but the form of the power had changed somewhat.

Or rather, Kurapika at this point hasn't fully perfected the ability of the Contract Chains, and has only focused on offense and defense.

"Kurt, the medicine."

Morrow turned to look at Kurt.

Before deciding to take action against Feitan, Moro not only made thorough preparations regarding "Nen abilities" and "tactics," but also considered all post-battle countermeasures.

With Kurt's help, he prepared in advance the Zoldyck family's special medicine for treating external and internal injuries.

However, thanks to the targeted effects of Nen abilities and intelligence support, Moro defeated Feitan without taking any damage, rendering these special medicines useless.

But it's perfect for Kurapika, who is seriously injured.

Upon hearing Morrow's words, Kurt first carefully examined Morrow's body to confirm that he was not injured before taking out the medicine packet.

When they left the cemetery, Kalluto noticed the bloodstains Kurapika had left on the ground with the rainwater, realizing that Kurapika's injuries might be more serious than they appeared.

Even so, Kurt did not offer Kurapika any medicine to help him in his emergency.

Because these medicines were prepared for Moro, even if there was only a slight chance that they would be used, Kalluto considered them far more important than Kurapika's life.

Now that the battle was over and it was confirmed that Moro didn't need the medicine, Kalto simply handed the medicine packet to Kurapika.

Moro, however, reached out and took the medicine packet from Kalpak. Given Kurapika's current condition, it was impossible for him to apply the medicine himself.

"Help me shelter from the rain, Kurt."

"Oh."

Kurt glanced at Kurapika, then raised his large paper umbrella high, keeping most of the wind and rain out.

Moro opened the medicine packet, took out the ointment and bandages inside, and skillfully applied the medicine and bandaged Kurapika's wound.

The main thing is to stop the bleeding as soon as possible, otherwise Kurapika may go into shock due to excessive blood loss if the bleeding is prolonged.

The Zoldyck family's special medicine is absolutely top-notch in terms of treating external injuries.

"okay."

After bandaging him up, Moro wrung out Kurapika's coat and put it on Kurapika.

The Zoldyck family's ointment solidifies on the wound in a short time, providing effective hemostasis and accelerating healing, and there is no need to worry about water affecting its efficacy.

However, this remarkable efficacy has one drawback: it easily leaves scars.

However, for most people who need this medication, scarring is not a big deal.

"There was a bit too much noise just now, let's leave here first."

Moro glanced at the cemetery in the distance.

Kurapika hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Moro, can I... go check over there...?"

"Ok?"

Moro turned his head to look at Kurapika's face, and could still see the weariness and pain in the other's eyes.

Rationally, he did not agree with Kurapika's request to return to the cemetery.

Emotionally, he finds it hard to refuse.

"Go."

Moro, considering that the heavy rain would wash away the marks, agreed to Kurapika's request.

The three of them returned to the cemetery despite the wind and rain.

After being scorched by the blazing sun, the entire cemetery has been reduced to ashes, with only the altar in the central area still retaining its original outline.

Moro's gaze swept over the scorched earth around him, and a sense of apology welled up in his heart.

His gaze then fell on the spot where Feitan had been standing, where only a tiny, burnt charcoal remained.

Kurapika also saw the charred remains left behind by Feitan. He slowly walked over, silently lowered his head, and stared at the charred remains.

His chest still burned with the rage of knowing that Feitan was the one who had tormented his fellow countrymen, but even more so with a deep sense of powerlessness at his own inadequacy.

Various emotions, like tangled threads, became a jumbled mess, making Kurapika increasingly distraught.

His hand trembled slightly, then he raised it and covered his face, feeling a warmth different from the cold rainwater seeping through his fingers.

"Ah, ah..."

He didn't know how to vent the complex and heavy emotions in his heart, so he could only murmur like a child, seemingly meaningless, as if this could alleviate the pain in his heart.

Morrow and Kurt were watching from behind.

Kalluto couldn't understand Kurapika's reaction and immediately cast a questioning look at Moro.

Unable to answer Kurt's question, Morrow could only reach out and pat Kurt's head, as if to say: "Don't ask so many questions, little kid."

Kurt immediately resisted, angrily slapping Morrow's hand away.

Moro withdrew his hand and silently stared at Kurapika's retreating figure.

The human capacity for empathy...

Sometimes it can indeed interfere with rational judgment.

Moro sighed softly to himself.

He was considering whether to go all out and kill the Phantom Troupe members one by one...
