Although they had a superficial understanding of Oboro's strength before, it was only at the level of Nen, and they were not clear about the kind of suppressive power and manifestation that Oboro had in actual combat.
Now... they probably know.
Their captain... seems to be exceptionally strong.
109. Group Ambush X Trap
The forest was quiet under the cover of night.
The two Nen users stood in a secluded spot, not speaking, but exchanging glances with each other.
One of them signaled to his teammate to rest while he took over the watch.
The latter nodded, leaped up into a tree and pretended to sleep, while the remaining one watched the surrounding rustling of leaves with a serious expression.
A short while later, a sudden change occurred. Two dark figures suddenly emerged from the shadows. One of them pressed his hand to the ground first. Immediately, the tree branches overhead grew rapidly, binding the Nen user who was still resting with his eyes closed like ropes.
At the same time, the grass under the tree roots sprouted wildly and spread towards the Nen user who was watching them.
The man reacted extremely quickly, instantly getting up to dodge and about to shout.
Unexpectedly, another figure descended from the sky and punched the former in the back, causing the Nen user to fall to the ground without making a sound, his body quickly enveloped in a swollen clump of grass.
Immediately afterward, Fant landed and swiftly snapped the man's neck.
Up in the tree, Anthony appeared beside the man bound by branches. He first grabbed the man's throat with one hand and squeezed hard. Then, with his other hand, he pried open the enemy's eyelids, forcing him to look into his eyes... His abilities began to take effect.
Lines appeared on Anthony's face, his face began to darken, resembling a demon, and his pupils became strange.
After a few seconds of eye contact, the target's expression became blank, and his struggling limbs fell limply to his sides.
Where are your team members?
Anthony asked coldly.
"They've all left...heading southwest." The man muttered to himself, drool dripping from his mouth.
"What time did you leave?"
"Half an hour ago."
"Why were you two left alone..."
"The boss said... there are powerful individuals outside the restricted area who specifically hunt people like us. He told us to stay behind and hold the line for a while. Once we're sure there's no danger, we can head over to our pre-arranged hiding place..."
"How many of you are there, and what are your abilities?"
Anthony continued asking.
The other party recounted everything in detail.
Having obtained the answer, Anthony disposed of the man.
He then reported telepathically: "Captain, there are four of them left. They headed southwest... They left half an hour ago. It seems they were alerted to our attack. Two are Enhancement types, one is Emission type, and one is Specialization type. Their abilities are..."
"Okay, I understand. You guys stay where you are, I'll go after them! It's probably beyond Gebvich's range. I'll temporarily lose contact with you, and I'll return after this is resolved... If there's an emergency and we have to move, remember to leave a mark." At this moment, Oboro, who was in another location, gave the instructions.
"Yes."
Anthony responded with a reply.
They jumped down from the tree, and Rita, who was standing next to them, also withdrew her powers.
In addition to being able to 'communicate' with plants, she can also manipulate the plants to change their shape and launch attacks against enemies.
Having dealt with the two men, Rita wiped the sweat from her face, which had been dripping with tension.
Before joining the squad, she had never killed anyone...
She was simply employed by various groups and forces to complete numerous missions, and due to her abilities, she didn't need to confront enemies directly.
They only did auxiliary work.
She has a wealth of work experience and has participated in many battles... but she has always provided assistance from afar.
But things are different now. The Nen users they are facing now are not the same as those she encountered in her previous work. They are all very strong, and a single carelessness could put them in danger. Therefore, she must force herself to accept the captain's rules of conduct.
Moreover, there are only six people in the team, and sometimes she has to get close. The farther away the plant is from her, the weaker the effect of her ability becomes.
In just one week, the squad killed countless people... I haven't counted them carefully.
People like Anthony and Fant, and even his younger brother Gebvich, seem to have already adapted... Due to their limited abilities, the ones who killed the most were Anthony, Fant, and Menchi.
She has never killed anyone so far... she has only been an indirect accomplice.
Gebvich also killed relatively few.
The reason she frequently sought employment from various forces was to earn money. She came from a poor rural area and wanted to work hard to improve the lives of her village... This time, the Fils family approached her, offering a deal and salary that she couldn't refuse.
Mainly because her resume is impressive enough.
Both she and Gebwich were after the money…
Fant and Anthony, however, are not.
As for Men Qi, she didn't know much about her.
At this moment, Menchi led Gebvich out of the shadows of the woods. The woman glanced at the two corpses in the room and said, "We found one over there too... and we've taken care of it."
As Menqi spoke, he put the kitchen knife, which was completely free of blood, into his waist pouch.
“The captain… has… exceeded my… ability… range…” Gebvich said after carefully sensing the situation.
"It's alright, let's just wait for him here."
Men Qi held his head in his hands, looking relaxed.
After a week of sweeping, the rebels outside the restricted area have been almost completely wiped out...
In terms of killing enemies, Oboro accounted for almost 90% of the team's credit.
The strength they displayed left the others speechless.
The five of them now understood why Oboro had accepted the two-star mission so casually back then.
Frankly speaking, without teamwork, any random Nen user outside the restricted area could easily take them down one-on-one. No one could claim a guaranteed victory. For individuals like Rita and Gebwich, the survival rate would be pitifully low.
……
On the other side, Oboro was leaping swiftly through the forest, using tree trunks as cover.
Following the faint scent lingering in the air…
After a while, he spotted two 'prey' moving silently, using the cover of the night and the forest as cover.
In an instant, his speed exploded.
With a kick, it shattered the tree trunk and swooped down like a cannonball, hurtling towards its target.
Upon hearing the sound, the two Nen users immediately turned around and assumed a defensive stance, but it was too late... The person on the left was kicked by Oboro's descending leg, breaking half of his skeleton and sending him flying.
The other person only had time to make a move at this moment.
But he only lasted about half a minute before the enhanced man was taken from his life.
Being able to hold out for half a minute is already quite good.
“Emission type and enhancement type... there are only two people. Where are the other two?” Oboro frowned.
Anthony
They said there were four.
Suddenly, Long raised an eyebrow.
A dark figure unexpectedly pressed against his back, its arms immediately wrapping tightly around him, rendering him unable to move.
Really impressive... a true master.
This level of skill is extraordinary.
Moreover, the timing of the capture was very precise.
After the person touched Oboro's body, their psychic power erupted, instantly covering Oboro's body with a layer of rock slabs... The body was imprisoned by the hard rock layer, and with the other person's two arms contracting, the suppression was immense.
"No sneak attack? They thought they couldn't break through my defenses, or that a rash attack might not even harm me... so they chose to buy time with their abilities! A Specialist? There should also be an Enhancement type..."
Long remained calm, but a thought flashed through his mind in an instant.
"hurry up!"
The person who hugged Oboro shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman appeared directly in front of him. She crossed her arms and slowly pulled them up and down.
The mental energy in her palm was stretched into a square shape, turning into a mirror.
Facing Oboro...
Then, he squinted his eyes.
Then, ripples appeared in the mirror, and a blurry figure stepped out from it. It had no face or features, but its posture was exactly the same as his, like a clone.
"Ok?"
Long was slightly surprised.
Not a Enhancement type?
Anthony's information couldn't be wrong...
Seeing that the ability had been successfully cast, the guy who had grabbed Oboro retreated instantly, creating enough distance between them...
It's as if being near Oboro means that every second is a nerve-wracking experience for her.
The woman's scent was familiar... I think I'd seen her from a great distance before, only to have her appear briefly.
"This clone needs to be observed for a long time, data collection needs to be done, and then the mirror will reflect my own image..." Long suddenly realized that this was a trap.
The two people he killed were bait.
After thinking about it, a large lamp suddenly lit up in the dark forest.
Under the watchful gaze of the obscure, the lamplight flickered, and one after another, menacing individuals emerged.
There are more than ten!
