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

Title: Mirror Flower Water Moon

Grade: A+

[Type: Ability Card]

[Background: Nurarihyon no Mago]

[Introduction: The innate ability of the yokai known as Nurarihyon is to reflect like a flower in a mirror and the moon on the water. When attacked, it can actively consume energy to nullify the attack. When attacked by a weaker attack, the attack is automatically nullified without consuming energy. Nullification includes the effects attached to the attack.]

The A+ rank "Mirror Flower Water Moon" is an ability from "Nurarihyon no Mago".

In terms of its appearance, it is somewhat similar to the intangibility in Naruto, which makes it impossible for others to hurt you. Even if you are hit, you are not hit. It is just a false "mirror image".

Against enemies much weaker than him, this ability is essentially a passive ability; unless he actively cancels it, it cannot harm him in any way, making it equivalent to normal intangibility.

Powerful attacks can be nullified, but the cost will depend on the power of the attack.

Overall, this is a very good support ability, similar to Observation Haki, which helps him negate enemy attacks.

Its "nullification" is not limited to damage, but also includes additional effects, which is quite important in the Hunter world.

Take, for example, the user with the ability to manipulate objects, whom he has always been wary of.

For example, Illumi.

Illumi can control others through Nen needles, which is a coercive type. Strong individuals can avoid the risk by using methods to prevent being hit.

However, if the conditions are met, even the strongest can be manipulated. After all, Nen abilities are diverse, with the upper three paths usually relying on numerical values ​​and the lower three paths relying on mechanics.

He had been in this situation before, so he still paid attention to details and tried his best not to let the other person touch him.

But after possessing the Mirror Flower Water Moon, beings like Illumi could no longer pose any threat to him.

Even if he is unprepared and Illumi throws a Nen needle at him, he will not be hit. The entire attack, along with the Nen ability, will be nullified, and it may even be costless.

Not only Nen users, but also many other strange and unpredictable disasters in the world can be resolved using this method.

This makes his future fighting style clearer.

Under normal combat conditions, Flying Thunder God and Observation Haki are responsible for dodging and prediction. At critical moments, Kyoka Suigetsu can be used to nullify or even "hollow out," which can be considered a life-saving card.

In addition, he obtained some other cards tonight, but most of them were not very useful to him, so he sacrificed them for points.

Tonight I obtained five A+ grade cards, a very fruitful haul.

Although the mission was completed, he did not intend to leave immediately.

After all, he still had to read the script in this capital city.

As for Gai Lu and the others, they will also stay in the capital for a period of time to discuss various post-war matters with the Yingren royal family.

Bisgei, on the other hand, returned directly to Greed Island to continue teaching the two little ones.

As the greatest contributor to this battle, he naturally received a huge reward, including nuns, treasures, antiques, and so on.

He also met with the royal family of Yingren and the current ruler.

The other party was initially incredulous. Even though he had been in a high position for many years and had cultivated a calm and composed attitude, he still showed a shocked expression after learning the situation.

What does it mean that Lynn single-handedly dealt with multiple powerful allies, including the Satan Clan, as well as Ibaraki and others?

Just how lucky is the Reges royal family to have Lynn, the Demon King, as their protector?

Although they can most likely attribute their current situation to Lynn, they have already reached this point and cannot and dare not continue. Instead, they have changed their strategy to appease Lynn.

You don't necessarily have to undermine him, but at least don't become his enemy.

They are content as long as they can maintain a certain level of relationship.

For this reason, Yingren Kingdom took special care of him and granted his every request, such as arranging a luxurious villa in the capital as a short-term place to stay.

Lynn didn't care. Since someone offered him a pillow when he was sleepy, he didn't need to refuse, since he didn't have to give anything in return.

After finding a place to stay, Lynn began to deal with the matters at hand.

First, there were He Jian and Ying Wu. He had Pudding read their memories and finally obtained information about the location of the Satan tribe.

Unexpectedly, it makes sense.

There's a reason why the true location of the Satanic race is so mysterious.

Because, like the Kurta tribe, they exist in a special space, but it is not a secret realm, but a demonic realm.

Somewhere beneath the ocean west of Begrosse United Nations, one of V5, the Satanic tribes use a marine creature they have raised for generations to move between the sea and the seabed.

This location also reminded Lynn of something that happened before.

He spent 200 points to find the location of a Dark Sonata at the Gate of Truth, on the coast west of the United Nations in Begrossa. It is unknown whether it has any connection with the Satanic race.

It's quite normal that the Satanic race are followers of the Demon King, and the Dark Sonata is a piece of music composed by the Demon King. The two are related.

Having obtained the information he wanted, Lynn hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided not to kill He Jian and Ying Wu directly.

Perhaps it's a peculiar trait of the Satanic race, but they always like to "self-destruct" at the drop of a hat. He killed five people and barely managed to save two alive; it would be a pity to kill them.

These special humans who possess the power of death still have some research value, so let's spare their lives for now; they might be useful later.

Having resolved the first issue, Lynn then tackled the second.

That was the deal with Kikuko.

Kikuko wants things related to darkness, ghosts, and poison.

He made careful preparations, submitting popular and powerful secret manuals, gourmet food, targeted poison, and antiques containing the intent to kill, all gifted by the Yingren Kingdom.

In general, they were all things that were not very useful to him or that could be obtained repeatedly, and the cost was not high at all.

【Successful transaction】

[Reward: Cursed Rune (A+)]

……

【Name: Cursed Symbol】

Grade: A+

[Type: Item Card]

[Background: Pokémon]

[Description: This talisman contains cursed energy and has three effects when worn: 1. It allows Ghost-type Pokémon to gradually grow stronger. 2. It enhances the Pokémon's lethality against dark creatures. 3. It makes it easier to detect the presence of dark things.]

A+ grade cursed rune.

The Cursed Talisman is a Ghost-type item that can enhance the power of Ghost-type moves in the game, and it has three different effects.

Effect 1 is exclusive to Gengar, since it only has one Ghost-type Pokémon, Gengar. Judging from its appearance, it seems that it will soon be promoted to S-rank.

However, effects two and three are universal and not limited to Gengar.

For example, when he wears a cursed charm, his attacks will have a stronger effect on dark creatures, and he will also find it easier to detect their whereabouts.

This is a good ability, especially the third one, which can prevent being ambushed, and plays a significant role in the perilous environment of the Dark Continent.

So Lynn planned to have Gengar carry it around normally, and then have him carry it when necessary.

Lynn didn't rush, but waited until midday to deal with the third matter.

That is the shikigami that subdued the [Ten Shadow Techniques].

Aside from the first Jade Dog, he needs to subdue nine shikigami. Of course, the other shikigami are not worth worrying about and can be easily dealt with. The one he really needs to take seriously is Demon Void.

In order to prevent its mechanism from working, he decided to go all out from the very first encounter, so he chose to act at noon.

The open space of the estate outside the villa.

Sunlight streamed down, casting a shadow behind him.

Lynn looked up at the blazing sun in the sky, feeling the warmth of the sunlight, and he felt full of power!

It's 11:58 now, which is basically when the [Sun's Magic] effect is at its strongest.

Since it's only A+ rank, it doesn't have the invincible one-minute "I am the only one under heaven" from the original Seven Deadly Sins manga; it's simply an amplification of its basic strength.

He roughly estimated that at noon his strength would be about 1.5 times his original strength, which was already a very strong increase.

Unfortunately, it does not stack with the effects of the Eight Gates Formation.

He had already subdued the previous shikigami, and only the final one, Moxu Luo, remained.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Lynn narrowed his eyes and opened the six gates.

His body suddenly burst forth with incomparably pure spiritual energy.

hum-

Ripples spread through the air, waves of air surged and rolled, a low humming sound rang out, and the ground creaked and cracked.

The fluctuations in energy created strong wind pressure, producing whistling sounds.

Pure spiritual energy flowed and circulated around him.

His aura gradually rose, like a sun about to reach its highest point.

The aura was extremely chilling; even if someone watched from a distance, they would feel a pain as if countless needles were pricking their skin.

Lynn struck a pose, his face serious, and said, "Burube, Yura Yura, Eight-Grip Sword - Divine General of the Other Rings - Demon Void!"

As he chanted the incantation, a large white cocoon condensed behind him, its powerful aura rising into the sky without any attempt to conceal it!

That's right, even the initial version of Demon Void Luo already had A+ level strength.

After Lynn finished reading, he turned around and saw Mo Xuluo emerging from the large white cocoon!

As the strongest shikigami among the ten shadow spells, Moxulu is entirely pale, with no eyes on its head and four wings on its sides.

It has a tail attached to the back of its head, a demon-slaying sword attached to its right arm, and a rudder-like wheel attached to the top of its head and back.

The demon-slaying sword in his hand is enveloped in a layer of positive curse energy, so just like its name, any cursed spirit struck by it will be reduced to ashes.

Perhaps, like Gengar, Magmortar is also a creature specifically designed to attack dark creatures.

The thought flashed through Lynn's mind like lightning, and then he raised his right hand, Ryujin Jakka, and a burst of flames clung to it.

Because he needs the sun, he no longer uses Hyōrinmaru to change the weather, but instead uses Ryūjin Jakka with all his might.

From the moment of its birth, Demon Lord intended to attack Lynn, the one who summoned it.

This is the underlying code of the shikigami. When they are not subdued, their primary target is the summoner.

Mo Xulu felt an extremely terrifying sense of threat from Lynn!

We must act quickly; we can't give him time!

Otherwise, it probably wouldn't even have a chance to adapt to this sword strike.

At this moment, Lynn unleashed a powerful attack with all his might, the force of which was not to be underestimated; even Netero could not withstand it.

Mo Xuluo suddenly swung his sword, intending to cut Lynn in half at the waist.

However, when the demon-slaying sword sliced ​​across Lynn's waist, no blood splattered, but rather a blob of ink. Lynn's upper and lower body floated up lightly, like the moon reflected in water, which could not be touched or grasped.

[A mirage]!

Missed!

How can this be?

Mo Xuluo suddenly turned around and saw that Lynn had appeared behind him at some point. At this moment, the Flowing Blade in his hand burst into an astonishingly high pillar of fire, as if it would burn everything in the world to ashes!

A powerful attack infused with a massive amount of Nen energy, its momentum was immense!

【One-Sword Style: Flame Demon】!

Swing your sword!

The pillar of fire seemed to be roaring.

In an instant, Mo Xuluo's figure was completely engulfed by flames.

boom!!

A sword mark, as deep as an insurmountable chasm, suddenly formed.
