Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 353 One Minute
The contrast between Björn's enthusiastic laughter and Moreau's furrowed brows as he pondered a way to escape was stark.

The advantages and disadvantages of both sides are too obvious.

Byron and Alita held the absolute initiative, and it would be virtually impossible for Morrow to escape the battle under such a disadvantageous situation.

If escape is impossible, then the only option is to create a death node on Alita.

Because of the secrets of tree rings and the reversal of death...

We must not expose this!
In this world, the Nen ability to read or alter memories is perhaps the greatest malice against transmigrators.

Byrd was very interested in the abilities Morrow displayed, but at the same time he also sensed something amiss in Morrow's behavior.

In his view, the fact that Moro could sense his "ability attack" meant that Moro himself was extremely sensitive to "killing intent" or "malice".

Furthermore, they possess exceptional observational skills; otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to develop such keen perception.

If Morrow truly possesses this trait, then when he proposes "memory alteration," the most sensible course of action would be to comply.

After all, he had already clearly conveyed his intentions through his "aura" when he made the proposal.

There was no murderous intent, no malice; it was simply a transaction devoid of any antagonistic factors.

Given the significant disparity in strength between the two sides, being pragmatic is the best course of action.

This way, at least a worse outcome can be avoided, and it's better than dying here meaninglessly.

However, Morrow's reaction...

It was much more intense than expected.

I can understand Yang De's situation to some extent.

After all, there are always some people in this world who are unwilling to accept the reality that circumstances are beyond their control and stubbornly believe that certain things are more important than life.

But in his view, this behavior...

It's just foolishness.

Alita.

"exist."

"When I make my move, you cripple him."

"?"

Alita glanced at Byron, slightly puzzled: "Didn't you just say 'it's been too long since I've met such an interesting opponent'? I thought you wanted to fight him one-on-one."

"Huh? We clearly have a numerical advantage, why would we need a one-on-one fight?"

Byron gave Alita a puzzled look, then said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Of course we should gang up on him."

"..."

Alita remained silent.

By Yangde's lips curled into a wide grin, and his aura surged like a tidal wave. He then extended his right hand toward Moro's back while running at high speed.

"Nothing exists outside the mind - intense pressure"

The immense spiritual energy emanating from Yang De instantly diminished significantly. At the same time, a series of intangible black lines fell without warning in the space surrounding Moro.

As these black lines appeared out of nowhere, Moro felt a gravitational field fall on him, as if he were suddenly in the deep sea, enveloped by powerful sea pressure.

"It's another comparison of Yang De's abilities!?"

Moro's movements suddenly became like being stuck in quagmire, and his escape speed dropped sharply.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that the surrounding grass was crushed into thin slices, and even the stones were shattered and pulverized under the invisible force field.

This still appears to be an invisible attack, but...

By dispersing his "power," Byron achieved a wide-ranging control over immense pressure.

Is the shift in the focus of the attack to control in order to block my escape?
wrong!

It's to create an opportunity for their teammates to make a move!

The moment Morrow was enveloped by the gravitational field, he realized the true intention behind Bynd's shift of focus from attack to control.

"Flying Star Leap"

Moro did not rashly withdraw his ability to condense starlight. Instead, he reacted quickly by mobilizing his limited manifested energy and, while running, channeled his psychic power into the ground with his right foot.

In an instant, a cross-shaped star appeared on the ground in front of them.

With the effect of the condensed starlight, Moro stepped forward and landed on the cross-shaped starlight.

The next instant, a small amount of psychic energy condensed into a flying star shot out from the cross-shaped starlight, and collided and exploded with a bang when it touched Moro's feet.

boom!
The blast wave violently lifted Moro high into the air.

At almost the same time,

A beam of azure light streaked past beneath Morro.

This is Alita's attack.

Originally aimed at Moro's spine, Moro unexpectedly used the explosive power of the spatial transmission type psychic bullet to propel his body into an emergency evasive maneuver.

"They actually used the recoil force of the psychic bullet explosion to..."

Alita was preparing to attack under the prior instructions of Yondo, and she believed that her response speed was fast enough.

However, Moro, whose limbs were slowed by the gravitational field, seemed to be able to sense their intentions immediately.

"The attack was clearly launched outside the range of that 'strange circle,' so how was he able to react so quickly?"

Alita's eyes gleamed with the light of data streams, her heart filled with doubt.

Byron, however, transformed into a team pressure monster, mocking, "You managed to miss with that, Alita, are you even capable?"

"..."

Alita remained deathly silent, though her aura became somewhat restless and violent.

Compared to Yang De, who knew when to stop and transformed from a pressure-monger into an understanding teammate, he added, "But that kid is really good. If it weren't for him trying to help his companions escape, we might not have been able to stop him."

"Come again."

Alita didn't respond, but kept her eyes fixed on Moro, who had already escaped the gravity field.

Bi Yangde grinned silently, and with a wave of his hand, he directly used his ability again.

It is still a dispersed pressure, rather than a concentrated sharpness.

Instantly, countless black lines fell, enveloping Morrow's location in the form of a gravitational field.

Alita instantly adjusted the angle, and the energy ring at the tail of the hand cannon lit up rapidly, propelling the energy to converge into a beam of azure light, which shot towards the hindered Morro.

Faced with the combined attack of Byron and Alita once again, Morro did not use the "Star Leap" method this time.

He didn't think the other person was stupid.

If the same method is used a second time, it will inevitably fall into the opponent's preparations.

Moro's response at this moment was to abandon the manifested energy used to maintain the starlight condensation ability without hesitation.

It immediately releases a new amount of manifested gas at the fastest speed.

With the explosive power brought about by maximizing his psychic abilities, Moro forcibly broke free from the suppression of the gravitational field, thus avoiding the azure light wave that shot from behind.

call out--

The light wave swept past my side and shot into the night ahead.

After dodging the light wave, Morrow immediately rushed out of the gravity field.

He couldn't immediately figure out the nature of Yang De's ability, but could only tentatively guess that it was likely a "specialty" ability.

He noticed an important detail when he was being suppressed by the gravitational field.

That force field remained in a fixed position, showing no signs of movement whatsoever.

The attack trajectories previously perceived using starlight also exhibited straight path characteristics.

This is enough to show—

Compared to Yang De's intangible and free ability, there is at least one significant limitation: the inability to change tactics.

It's like a straight punch thrown without hesitation or fear.

We will never back down.

Even if the target of the attack suddenly becomes a sharp knife, he will let his fist collide with the blade. Only after realizing this will Moro decisively withdraw his ability to gather starlight and instead use "training" to break through the suppression effect of the gravity field and avoid Alita's beam attack.

But his response went beyond that.

After escaping the gravitational field, Moro immediately condensed a flying star in his palm.

"Flying Star of Deception - Dandelion"

The moment the shooting star condensed and took shape, it was like a dandelion seed scattered by the evening breeze, suddenly transforming into countless tiny orbs of light, which rode the evening breeze into the night sky.

The casual Nen ball games he played on a daily basis, along with the arduous training in the Divine Word over the past six months, have greatly improved Moro's Nen control skills.

And this experience, in which he invested his time and energy, has now become a crucial asset.

Every step he took was not wasted!

Dandelion-like orbs of light filled the sky like stars, while Moreau swept past them at incredible speed.

next second.

Countless dandelion-like orbs of light, as if drawn by a magnetic force, all chased after Morrow.

As these tiny orbs of light returned, Morrow suddenly twisted his waist and turned around to face the flying orbs of light, as well as the relentlessly pursuing Byonde and Alita.

At this time,

By Yang De's telekinetic attack arrived.

He seized the opportunity when Moro withdrew "Starlight Condensation".

However, unexpectedly, based on the constraints he had assessed, Moro replaced the warning function with dandelion shooting stars.

This behavior is very bold.

It is also one of the most common traits seen in Nen masters.

A glint of light flashed in Byrd's eyes as he watched the "power of will" stray from the "real space," passing straight through the countless tiny dandelion-like orbs of light, heading directly towards Morrow's body.

but--

The light was slightly distorted.

More precisely, the psychic energy emitted by these tiny, powerless orbs of light, which were split from the flying star, was affected by an unseen force, resulting in the distortion of light.

But the existence of the light sphere itself remains intact.

It was this slight distortion of light that directly revealed Byrd's attack trajectory.

Moro took in the phenomenon and, while rapidly sliding backward, suddenly turned his head to the side.

laugh!
A bloody gash appeared on his cheek from an invisible attack.

It was harmless; the important thing was that he had neutralized the opponent's attack.

Moro looked at Bynd, who in turn looked at him.

Their gazes met and collided in mid-air.

One side gradually calmed down, while the other gradually became excited.

next moment.

By Yangde suddenly reached out and grabbed Alita's arm, then spun her around like a windmill, forcefully throwing her towards him.

Alita remained unfazed and launched herself at Morro in mid-air with a taut posture.

at the same time.

Byangde maintained the swinging motion, with his palm facing Alita's direction.

There were no signs or obvious fluctuations in the aura.

Suddenly, a surging wave of air erupted beneath Alita's feet, propelling her to Morro's feet in an instant with terrifying force.

Moro's expression changed slightly, and Alita used the momentum to smash her head into him.

Faced with Alita's rocket headbutt, Moro hastily raised his arms.

Bang!
As the white shockwave erupted, Morrow was forced back a considerable distance, nearly losing his balance.

With her energy depleted, Alita did a front flip and landed where Morro had been.

As soon as she regained her balance, her feet, planted firmly on the ground, unleashed a fierce burst of psychic power, shattering the ground beneath her feet.

Swish!
Alita moved with lightning speed, closing in on Morro, her hands enveloped in a torrent of psychic power, unleashing a barrage of punches that engulfed Morro.

"Starlight Convergence"

Moro kept a straight face, and his flowing psychic power transformed into starlight, drawing them both into it.

The numerous star-like points floating in the air were stirred up by Alita's punch, and the information was immediately fed back to Morro's consciousness.

Moro's body immediately moved with the barrage of punches, dodging each of Alita's blows with precise movements in a rapid back-and-forth motion.

In just one second.

The force of the punches, like a torrential downpour, all missed their mark.

This brief one-second dodge is enough to fulfill the second-stage ability requirement of "Starlight Condensation".

The swirling starlight around them instantly attached itself to Alita.

However, just as the golden chains began to take shape, Byonde's invisible attack "passed" straight through Alita's body, penetrating through the gaps between the stars and slamming into Moro.

Bang!
Click!

Moro's body, including his left arm, was struck as if by an invisible hammer, and his flesh collapsed instantly.

Then, as if a submarine had imploded, his entire left arm exploded into a bloody mist.

"Pooh!"

Moro coughed up thick blood, his body flying backward like a kite with a broken string.

What exactly is that ability...?

As he was being sent flying backward, Moro's consciousness was momentarily blurred, but he managed to regain it through sheer willpower and kicked out several deceptive flying stars in succession.

Boom boom boom!
Alita, however, didn't give the flying stars a chance to stop and turn back, and directly used her hand cannon to shoot them apart.

Meanwhile, Byrd swiftly swept across the plains, closing in on Morrow like the scythe of death.

Moro's body plummeted to the ground, bounced up heavily, and tumbled.

"Flying Star Leap - Deceptive Flying Star"

Moro lay on the ground, his face covered in blood, and pressed his palm to the ground to activate his Star Leap ability. He then used his foot to shoot a fluorescent green star that skimmed almost the ground behind him.

Can you get rid of the other party...?

This is our only chance.

A cross-shaped starlight shone beneath Moro.

Amidst the starlight, a dark blue shooting star shot up, propelling his body heavily into the air.

But just then, Byrd's long-range attack came down on him again.

puff!
Moro's legs suddenly exploded into a cloud of blood mist, and he tumbled into the air, but still managed to stay conscious and throw all the remaining star-marked coins at Byron and Alita.

at the same time.

The flying star that had just skimmed the ground suddenly split into more than ten smaller stars, which shot towards Bynd and Alita.

Only one star is used to lock onto the direction of the Chimera, thus propelling it towards the sky.

Despite the dizzying spin in his vision, Moro stubbornly locked onto the trajectory of that flying star.

He endured that one minute of hardship, all for this moment.

"Blitzkrieg"

His figure vanished into thin air.

In the next instant, he appeared above the flying star and precisely hooked it with his only intact right hand.

call out!
The flying star then carried him to a higher point in the sky.

Simultaneously.

The dozen or so flying stars that were heading towards Yangde and Alita exploded one after another.

Boom boom boom!
