Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

"Teacher, cut it off!"

Qiduo maintained precise concentration throughout, not a bit more or less, without wasting any of her manifested energy.

She saw the chewing gum before Dia, but wasn't sure if Dia would use that to retaliate.

Upon hearing Diya's words, a cold glint flashed in her hand.

The sharp scalpel seemed to encounter no resistance, severing Hisoka's spirit with exceptional smoothness.

The playing cards, like birds released from their cages, flew into the darkness above.

Once the magician's tricks are seen through, dealing with them becomes very simple.

Chapter 81 Psychological Warfare? × War of Attrition?

The famous Stand user, Ripple user, and Nen user, Dia, once said that Time Stop is the eternal stern father figure to close-combat masters like Hisoka.

But at this moment, facing the "Hiso Lucilfer" before her, Dia had to consider a question—

If you use time stop to kill Hisoka, will Chrollo also be killed?

'Impossible...'

Diya's eyes were cold.

Kuroro is not the kind of person who would entrust his life to someone else.

The fact that he dared to use such an ability to hide on Hisoka means that he was confident that even if he killed Hisoka, he would not die as a result.

This means he cannot reveal his trump card, "Time Stop," prematurely!

In front of Chrollo, he used Time Stop to kill Hisoka, and then Hisoka countered by canceling his ability, and Time Stop just happened to be on cooldown.

His previous advantages would be wiped out in an instant.

Facing the rapidly approaching bullets, Hisoka smiled slightly, showing no intention of dodging.

He clasped his hands together, instantly creating a pink net of psychic energy that crashed into the bullet!

No matter how fast the bullet is, once it's stuck, it can't escape...

Hisoka tried to use the same trick again, attempting to stop bullets in mid-air.

But the next moment——

Tear!

The bullet, shimmering with silver ripples, spun wildly, tearing through his "flexible love" and shooting straight at him!

His confident expression froze on his face, and a hint of astonishment rose in his heart.

Immediately sensing the threat, Hisoka twisted his body to the limit, dodging a bullet from the outside, but the remaining bullets all struck his [firm]!

Bang! Bang! —

The powerful bullet blasted a hole in his chest, causing him to freeze abruptly.

Sensing the unusually powerful destructive force, Hisoka frowned slightly, thinking:

'Such a heavy bullet, and my [spirit] has been neutralized...'

Is this a [Conjuration] technique?

The [Conjuration Type] enjoys adding strange functions to their creations through [Constraints and Oaths].

That man's ability is to make bullets dissolve Nen?

What's the logic behind the other person walking on the wall?

Hisoka became more vigilant, because that brief pause had disrupted his fighting rhythm.

A few bullets from the enemy caused the opportunity he had just seized to slip through his fingers.

This shows that the opponent is also a highly skilled fighter.

However, he did not retreat because of this. Instead, he quietly transformed the Nen energy in one foot into "elasticity" while keeping the other foot "sticky".

Immediately afterward, Hisoka used the "stickiness" to keep himself firmly on the well wall, while using the "elasticity" of his other foot to accelerate and rush towards Dia!

Almost in the blink of an eye.

Hisoka's figure violently smashed through the thick fog!

Having already prepared, Dia twisted her body and hips, gathering all her strength into her right fist, and swung it fiercely at Hisoka!

At the same time, Hisoka's arm under his armpit moved almost simultaneously, and the dagger, like a viper flicking its tongue, slashed through the air at a tricky angle, heading straight for Dia's throat!

boom!

Dia and Hisoka's violent fists collided without hesitation, and a muffled thud exploded in mid-air.

?!

In a flash, the sound of metal clashing rang out in the confined space as Qiduo's scalpel swiftly and precisely parried the dagger.

Two conspicuous sparks collided during their confrontation.

The enormous impact exploded, creating a small gust of air that ruffled Dia's hair.

Faced with Hisoka's quick attack, he did not choose to retreat and maneuver, because the opponent's speed was superior to his and he could not create distance. It was better to counterattack and meet the enemy head-on.

With his mind focused on two things at once, Kito suddenly exerted force with his left arm, unleashing a left hook that pierced the sun like a white rainbow, the fist whipping up a whirlwind as it hurtled straight towards Hisoka's lower right.

The target was the strange book that was being firmly gripped by the extra arm!

The enemy knew that having that book occupy one of their hands during the battle would put them at a disadvantage, but they never let go of the book from beginning to end!

'That must be a condition for the enemy's ability to activate, or at the very least, a weakness!'

Kido's judgment was very accurate, but Hisoka swung his left arm out with a perfectly timed downward elbow strike!

bump!

The elbow strike from above knocked down Kito's left arm. Hisoka seized the opportunity to swing his elbow back to his waist and unleashed a powerful straight punch aimed directly at Dia's face!

Dia didn't flinch at all. Her eyes widened, her whole body surging with energy. She lashed out with her right leg like a whip, tearing through the air and kicking Hisoka in the groin!

This blow was solid, and even someone as pain-resistant as Hisoka couldn't completely ignore it!

Hisoka narrowed his eyes and swung his right fist with lightning speed, striking the elevator shaft wall. The impact sent him flying, and Dia's groin kick narrowly grazed his abdomen.

"How cruel!"

Hisoka landed in mid-air, looking down at Dia and the other two, and said with great interest.

His brief exchange with the other two had convinced him that they were no ordinary people.

Although the man's strength and speed were inferior to his when he was possessed by Kuroro, his combat awareness was extremely sharp, while the woman's combat awareness was slightly weaker, but her aura and the flow of offense and defense were perfect.

Dia also felt a bit of a problem. He wanted to save time stop for Chrollo, but Hisoka's strength and speed were slightly better than his, making him a difficult opponent.

Should we use the new [Celestial Phenomenon]...?

Diya silently considered that the best approach in the face of such a close-combat defeat was, of course, to deal damage from a distance.

His second celestial phenomenon was specifically developed for long-range bombing!

but.

'Changing the weather takes time, and failure will consume a lot of manifested energy. Moreover, the 'Constraints and Vows' of the 'Second Phenomenon' are not yet perfected...'

In fact, the Nen types most suitable for developing [Conjuration and Vow] should be the lower three types: [Conjuration], [Specialization], and [Manipulation].

However, Dia, who perfectly embodies the three upper elements and is a natural-born combat powerhouse, has made slow progress in researching [Constraints and Oaths].

The perfect development of the first celestial phenomenon was thanks to the help of Qiduo.

Over the previous two months, Qiduo had activated the Yorkshire Scribe more than once, lending her Specialist Nen to Dia.

To be honest, when you feel both the [Emission] and [Specialization] types of Nen coexisting within your body, you can definitely feel the distinct difference between the two.

With the help of a reliable mentor like Qiduo and a strict teacher, Dia has been able to make such progress in such a short time.

and……

Dia glanced discreetly at the chewing gum stuck to her body; all of her Nen energy was connected to Hisoka below.

This was secretly attached by Hisoka during the collision just now.

He could sense the powerful Nen contained within, and if Hisoka decided to simultaneously retract these Nen streams, he wouldn't be able to completely ignore them with his power.

While Kido's scalpel could sever these Nen auras, the problem was that she also had a piece of chewing gum stuck to her arm.

If she starts removing the chewing gum, she will face two choices: first, remove her own.

But Hisoka will definitely pull on Dia's Nen the moment he feels his Nen being cut off, and launch an attack the instant Dia loses his balance!

This means losing the initiative.

If Kido chooses to cut off Dia's Nen first, the [chewing gum] on her body will pull her, preventing her from helping Dia cut off all the Nen immediately!

This means pleasing neither side.

After a brief moment of thought, Dia decided that the best option was for Kito to cut the chewing gum stuck to her!

but.

What is he waiting for?

Dia's doubts stemmed from the fact that Hisoka couldn't possibly be unaware that they would use [Gathering], especially since Kido had just cut off a piece of his [chewing gum].

Why didn't he just shrink those few strips of chewing gum?

Dia's intuition told her that when a magician deliberately creates a flaw in front of her, he is definitely preparing for something big.

As her thoughts raced, Dia suddenly heard the sound of wind beside her ear.

He frowned and tilted his head, causing several playing cards to graz the side of his head and embed themselves deeply into the well wall.

No chewing gum...

What is Hisoka trying to do? Is he just messing with him?

Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck Dia.
