Hunter x Hunter: Card Master, the Strongest in the World

Thinking of this, Machi had a very bad feeling. It was the strongest sense of crisis she had ever felt in her life, and she was sure that something terrible was going to happen.

For example, the Phantom Troupe was completely wiped out!

In that instant of losing her composure, Machi witnessed the tragic scene unfold.

Kubi is weaker than Machi and doesn't have good defensive measures. Despite her careful planning, she made a mistake and was eventually caught off guard by Yoto Hime.

Swah——

The katana sliced ​​straight across Kubi's waist, severing him in two!

His breath was rapidly fading until he died.

Kubi, die!

The battle had barely begun when Pakunoda and Kubi died one after another, leaving only five members of the Phantom Troupe!

Lynn took in the situation on the field without surprise, and then looked at the cards that had been dropped after Pyknottan and Kubi died.

【Name: Charlotte Brin】

[Grade: B+]

[Type: Character Card]

[Background: One Piece]

[Introduction: The 35th daughter of Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, a half-blooded girl of the Three-Eyed Tribe, and a user of the Memory-Memory Fruit, who can read other people's memories, extract a specific memory, and even edit or modify it.]

It turned out to be Brin.

Pudding, one of Big Mom's daughters, has a significant role in the original work. She is a user of the Memory-Memory Fruit, which allows her to read or even alter memories simply by bringing her hand close to someone's brain.

It must be said that she is indeed very similar to Paknotan, especially in terms of abilities, both of whom can read memories.

However, Pudding is prettier and more capable than Paknottan. She can not only read memories, but also delete and modify them. She is also a candidate for Minister of Chocolate and probably has some culinary skills, such as making desserts, so she can help Erina.

This is a perfect support talent. Once Pudding seizes the opportunity to modify his memories, he will most likely be unable to recover them on his own. For example, in the original work, Sanji's memories were taken by Pudding and he has not recovered them to this day.

If used properly, the B+ grade character card, Pudding, can perform like an A+ grade, or even an S grade!

For example... finding a high-level V5 administrator to modify the memory?

Lynn's eyes flickered slightly, then he looked at the card that Kubi had revealed.

【Name: Replication Potion】

[Grade: B+]

[Type: Item Card]

[Background: Doraemon]

[Description: Only one drop is needed. When applied to any B+ grade or lower item card, it will create an exact copy of the card.]

In comparison, the cards dropped by Kubi seem rather plain and unpretentious.

In short, it doubles a B+ grade or lower item card into two.

The effect is quite good, and it can be used on some cards with great potential, such as the Rabbit Talisman, Snake Talisman, and Sharingan. There's no rush to use it immediately.

Lynn gathered his thoughts and focused his gaze on Kuroro in the center of the arena.

At this moment, Chrollo was the most relaxed among the Phantom Troupe members because his opponent was Kurapika, who was weaker than him.

Swish, swish—

The two swords slashed through the air, accompanied by two streaks of light.

Chrollo is agile and doesn't need to make any big movements to dodge Kurapika's swift attacks.

They even have spare time and energy to observe the situation on the field.

The result left him feeling incredibly heavy-hearted.

Despite being mentally prepared, he still felt negative emotions seeing Paknotan and Kubi being dealt with so quickly.

It was mostly regret, anger, and a hint of fear that even the person themselves hadn't noticed.

Watching his comrades die one by one, he could only remain calm, try to deal with Kurapika as quickly as possible, and then support his comrades.

He can't waste any more time...

Kuroro looked at Kurapika, and noticed a change in his fiery red eyes, with two new tomoe-like patterns that were slowly rotating.

He remembered that the fiery red eyes didn't look like that.

One possibility is that Kurapika's eyes underwent a mutation, such as gaining some kind of Nen ability.

Combined with the dual swords Kurapika conjured and his previous understanding of the Kurta people, Chrollo quickly deduced that Kurapika might possess dual Nen abilities.

Dual swords are a confirmed ability, while the eyes are a suspected ability.

Be careful of his eyes.

The next moment, Kuroro flipped through the pages with his left hand, finally stopping on a certain page, and then a pen that looked just like a calligraphy brush appeared in his right hand.

He dodged Kurapika's attack by sidestepping, and at the same time took the opportunity to tap the latter's shoulder with a brush, and then retreated backward, using the brush to write words in the air during the process.

A series of characters made of ni (spirit) floated towards Kurapika.

Kurapika was startled and tried to dodge, but the words seemed to have a tracking effect and continued to land on him.

Kurapika felt his body suddenly stiffen.

【Certainly】!

These are the words that Kuroro just wrote down.

The "Dream-Making Pen" allows you to write words with corresponding effects, but you need to touch the other person with the pen tip before using it on them.

If you write the character "定" (fixed) to someone else, that person will be temporarily frozen in place. If you write the character "飞" (fly) to yourself, you will temporarily gain the ability to fly.

Each additional character consumes more mental energy, and one cannot write words with excessive power such as "death," but is limited to words within the normal range.

Kuroro just wrote the words "Pursue" and "Fix" in one go, which is why Kurapika was caught off guard.

The next moment, Kuroro swiftly drew a dagger coated with a potent poison and launched it at Kurapika.

There's no time left, let's end it here!

Kurapika watched Kuroro rush towards him in silence, and then suddenly, he disappeared from Kuroro's sight.

"Huh?" Kuroro stopped abruptly, looking puzzled.

Teleport?

Then, Kurapika, who appeared out of nowhere behind him, attacked him. With red eyes, he slashed at Chrollo's neck with his right hand and attacked his waist with his left.

At the same time, Leorio, who had just used his Nen ability to teleport Kurapika's location, also attacked from the front. His movements were extremely fast. He placed his right hand on the hilt of Kiku and then pulled it out sharply!

【One-Sword Style o Lion Song】!

In an instant, the two brothers executed a perfect teamwork, putting Kuroro, who had just been in the lead, back on the defensive.

Can that middle-aged man's face transfer his abilities to others...?

Left with no other option, Chrollo had to use his dagger to parry Kurapika's right-hand sword while simultaneously moving to the side.

Even so, the left-handed sword, Discipline, still struck Kuroro's waist.

That's exactly what Kurapika wanted to see!

[Commandment One: Binding], activated!

With [Absolute Time] activated, all abilities, including restraint, are significantly amplified.

At this point, Kurapika already possessed A- rank strength.

Kuroro felt a strange sensation well up inside him, as if his heart had turned cold, causing his body to pause briefly. It was this pause that made him miss the best opportunity to dodge.

Leorio, rushing towards him, had a resolute expression. He channeled his conviction and Nen into a swift and dazzling slash using his Oni-Ku technique.

The attack was originally aimed at Kuroro's hand, but because Kuroro dodged, it ended up hitting his abdomen, breaking through his defenses and creating a sizable wound.

Blood splattered everywhere!

At the same time, the binding effect ended, and Chrollo turned to the page he needed, immediately disappearing from Kurapika and Leorio's encirclement.

Instant teleportation!

When he reappeared, Kuroro was already beside Machi, who was at a disadvantage. He raised his hand and forced Yaodao-hime back with a single blow. He then turned the page again and quietly left a mark on the ground, which disappeared for a short time after being covered by his feet.

To be honest, he didn't want to use the ability to teleport because it consumed too much Nen energy. Therefore, he had to maximize the benefits every time he used it, just like now.

His teleportation has achieved two goals so far: escaping danger and saving Machi, but unfortunately, there was still a slight deviation.

"Captain!" Machi's expression was solemn. With a wave of her hands, she quickly performed a simple stitching on Kuroro's abdominal wound.

The battle situation is too tense right now, and she doesn't have much time to treat Kuroro. She can only use this extremely short time to help out.

Kuroro's gaze turned serious as he looked at the three people standing in front of him: Yoto Hime, Leorio, and Kurapika, his brows furrowing.

Just how strong is Lynn?

The other Nen beasts that haven't fought yet are not included, but just the four powerful Nen beasts like Yaodao-hime and Zoro consume an enormous amount of Nen energy every moment.

How strong must someone be to be able to bear so much Nen?

Or is it that he doesn't have much Nen left?

Unfortunately, his conjecture could not be answered quickly.

Subsequently, Kuroro and his companion engaged in battle with the three members of the Demon Blade Princess trio, and the entire battle was clearly one-sided.

While Chrollo certainly possesses some strength, he excels at well-prepared ambushes rather than skirmishes. Given enough time and intelligence, he can dedicate time to gathering targeted Nen abilities.

But there are no "what ifs" in this world.

When Leorio wielded the Demon Cry sword and slashed down, Chrollo vanished like a bubble, while his true form appeared elsewhere.

They've fallen for Kuroro's trick; Kuroro is getting close to Lynn!

This was a choice Kuroro was forced to make.

The current situation is very clear.

If they don't make a decision, their only outcome will be total annihilation.

Then there's only one path left: to take a risky approach and seize a sliver of opportunity. If he can kill or hinder Lynn, the problem will be solved. He's gambling on Lynn's strength.

He investigated many of Lynn's deeds and ultimately confirmed Hisoka's statement: Lynn was indeed growing rapidly and was much weaker last year than he is now.

But this further illustrates that Lynn shouldn't possess such strength as he does now. He can be strong, but he shouldn't be this strong.

Judging from his performance alone, Lynn was the most powerful person he had ever seen. He was strong enough on his own and could easily control multiple powerful spirit beasts.

Such an astonishing rate of growth is illogical; given more time, he might be able to rival Netero, who is known as the "strongest in the world"... Therefore, Kuroro has two guesses about this.

First, Lynn's current composure is just a facade; in reality, his Nen is almost depleted.

Second, Lynn made very strict constraints and oaths in exchange for a faster growth rate, or the ability to use spirit beasts without consuming spirit energy.

Regardless, as the strongest member of the Phantom Troupe, he was the only one capable of carrying out this mission; he had no other choice.

The only option is to gamble!

Lynn remained expressionless as he watched Kuroro rushing towards him at high speed.

The next moment, his spiritual energy soared into the sky, like a blazing sun rising!

Chapter 176 The Spider's Despair! The Plane Crash Duo!

late at night.

The bright moonlight fell on the shoulders of everyone on the field, and there was also an added aura emanating from Lynn, which made Machi and the others feel uncomfortable and subconsciously catch their breath.

And this was only an A+ level aura. Lynn didn't even use the Eight Gates Formation, but even so, it was enough to create a powerful deterrent effect.

Kuroro stared at Lynn, who was exuding an A+ aura on the steps, his gaze sharpening, but he still proceeded according to the original plan.

The only way to find out the truth is to fight it out!
