Hunter x Hunter: The Strongest Zoldyck

The moment the last word was uttered, Roy's body exploded.

No, that's not right, it's not exploding, it's blooming.

Like a datura flower, it blooms in an instant with all its beautiful yet dangerous petals.

However... Roy's mandala petals were constructed from fists, countless overwhelming fists tearing through the air.

Buzz!! Buzz... Buzz!!

Roy's punches were so fast that they ripped through the air with a series of muffled hums, slamming into the oncoming Yumongard with unparalleled force.

And it wasn't just one punch, it was countless punches...

Amidst the dense barrage of punches, Yumongard, who was charging ahead with the red-haired woman's face, slightly lowered his upper body to dodge Roy's attack. At the same time, he delivered a powerful kick aimed at Roy's lower body. Meanwhile, Yumongard, who resembled the blond man Zet behind him, bent his arms vertically in front of his chest and charged into the barrage of punches without even trying to avoid them.

Crack!

A sharp pain, like being pierced by steel needles, shot through Roy's feet, causing him to shiver involuntarily.

But he neither fell nor dodged.

He endured the discomfort of Jummongaard poking his thigh, leaving it red, swollen, and painful...

He threw a punch after another, like a perpetual motion machine, the force of the previous punch not yet dissipated before his second punch followed.

Moreover, the position of each of his punches remained unchanged, the angle of each strike was flawless, and the power he exerted never diminished.

Even water dripping on stone can wear it away, let alone a fist as powerful as a bullet...

Within seconds of being hit, the blond man, Zet, who resembled Yumongard, shattered like broken glass, making a series of cracking sounds.

Under such a punch, its muscle fibers were torn, its cartilage was bruised, and large areas of its body were cracked, especially its chest, which was dented into the shape of a fist.

It looks like he was seriously injured, but...

It was still standing, standing straight.

boom!!!

Lloyd was not intimidated by its performance, just as Yumongaard was about to react.

His right foot suddenly sprang up from the ground, his instep straight and toes pointing forward, like an axe being thrown, sweeping upwards from below, kicking away the red-haired woman's face, Yumongard, while simultaneously sweeping towards the gap between the cartilage and sternum of the blond man Zet's face, Yumongard.

That gap, only one centimeter wide, grayish-white, like a knife cut.

This is the wound left after Roy ripped out its heart in the world where it had broken through 40% of its physical limits.

If you look closely, you can even see the slowly beating, dark red heart that has been partially repaired.

Click...

The moment the instep slammed into the gap.

Roy heard a sound that wasn't a sound... It didn't sound like a fracture, but more like a dislocation.

It is a buzzing sound, like a snapped string, produced when the connecting fibers between two cartilage segments are forcibly broken.

With that sound, Yumongard's body suddenly tilted to the left, his grayish-white upper body swaying in the moonlight.

Like a tree whose roots have been cut off, it begins to slowly and irreversibly fall.

"The first one..."

With a silent thought to himself, Roy didn't even glance at the fallen Yumongard in front of him. He slightly exerted force with his feet and narrowly avoided a dark red whip shadow.

It was Jumongard who was kicked away who swung the ball.

"Not bad."

Roy glanced at the crimson whip that brushed past his ear and gave a soft sigh of admiration.

"Unfortunately, if you can't hit your target, then there's no point in trying..."

Before he could utter the final word "righteousness," his figure vanished from before Yumungard like a mirage.

Quiet, silent, eerie...

As Roy vanished as if by magic, a flicker of emotion appeared for the first time in the blank eyes of the red-haired woman, Eileen-like Yumongard.

.......Confuse......

It wondered why its prey had suddenly disappeared.

Why didn't my attack work?

Why...?

Before Jumongaard could come up with the answers to these questions.

Behind it, behind a ripple like water, Roy appeared.

"Look where I am? I'm here."

Snapped!

The whip cracked, and Yumungard's whip shadow lashed behind him.

But apart from hearing a blast in the air, it didn't feel any solid impact.

In her eyes, there was only a faint, fading figure, like a phantom.

Looking at this figure, the doubt in its eyes deepened.

Why can't I feel him?

Why? Because there was no smell, no breath, no sound from him.

hiss......

Yumongard began to get a little annoyed; it was the first time it had been toyed with by its prey like this.

How dare they do this with just a piece of food....

I must eat him.

A second emotion began to appear in its blank pupils...anger.

"Can't you find me?"

Just as Yumungard was becoming increasingly agitated, ghostly voices rang out from all directions.

It is completely impossible to determine the location or position.

His silver-gray pupils swept over the red-haired Yumongard not far away, and Roy, hidden in the shadows, swallowed a mouthful of blood.

Despite his series of incredibly skillful performances, he wasn't as relaxed as he appeared.

In just a few seconds, he used one of his own immature secret techniques.

Dark Step....Style Five Modification.....Mirror Flower Water Moon and Illusory Sound Eight Workshops.

Under the illusion of a mirage, Roy did not suddenly disappear; he merely used visual deception.

He left an afterimage on the enemy's retina by moving at high speed in a very short time and by using subtle changes in the refraction of light.

That afterimage wasn't an illusion or magic; it was just a residual image of light.

The image the enemy saw of Roy was not Roy, but merely a residual image that had appeared on their retina 0.3 seconds earlier.

But the real him had already moved into a blind spot within those 0.3 seconds.

These are blind spots that are naturally present in the human eye and cannot be eliminated.

Now that Yumongarde has taken on human form, it naturally has its own weaknesses.

One example is blind spots.

This is a fact that is difficult for others to control and operate, but for the Zoldyck family, a prestigious family in the assassination world, using blind spots to launch surprise attacks is just a basic skill.

Based on this, Roy combined Dark Step to develop this illusion-like illusion, Mirror Flower Water Moon.

But in essence, this move still relies on perspective and hasn't completely transcended this framework.

Therefore, Roy's move may not be effective against non-humanoid creatures.

Then there's his second secret technique: Illusory Sound Eight Workshops.

That's a way of utilizing sound scattering.

The high-frequency vibration of the Adam's apple compresses the sound into extremely short, high-frequency sound waves.

Then use walls, ceilings, floors, or even the enemy's body as reflective surfaces.

Make the sound bounce out from multiple directions simultaneously.

This prevents the listener's ears from quickly determining the direction of the sound source, thus paralyzing their brain and automatically creating an auditory illusion that comes from all directions.

Creates a ghostly effect...
