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

Or is it a way to dodge attacks?

At the same time, Hyōrinmaru suddenly slashed down from the lower right, and after timing it perfectly, the slash hit Maha precisely.

boom!

Mahathir was sent flying backward, landing mid-air with great effort despite the pain. His already injured left arm was now marred by another knife wound, and a chilling aura emanated from it, rendering it half-useless.

I never expected there was such a trick... Mah squinted at Lynn.

But Mahathir didn't feel much regret, because it wasn't a mistake, but rather the deserved price of testing.

As an assassin, there will naturally be times when the intelligence about the target is wrong or incomplete, and it is perfectly reasonable to pay the price for it.

That last strike was quite powerful, but it also gave him the information that Lynn had the ability to "phantomize" parts of his body.

Although he felt helpless, for now he could only "test the waters" again and again, waiting for the right opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Lynn.

Immediately, Mahathir disappeared again and engaged in several clashes with Lynn.

Basically, it always ends with Mahathir getting the short end of the stick.

Maha seemed to realize that invisibility was ineffective against Lynn, who likely possessed abilities like "danger perception," allowing him to react before Maha could attack.

So Maha canceled his Nen-consuming stealth state and instead engaged Lynn in a fierce battle using a fighting style that was unconventional for a normal assassin but consistent with that of a Zoldyck family assassin.

Every move he makes is a meticulously crafted killing technique, a fusion of countless experiences. Even a simple hand chop can pose an extremely high degree of danger to the target.

Even a strong opponent of the same level could be caught off guard and die at his hands if they are not serious enough.

This was also Lynn's first time fighting against this type of strong opponent, so he carefully studied the situation, which helped him enrich his combat experience.

He hasn't fought many S-class powerhouses, but each one has their own unique characteristics.

Catwoman has a beast-like style, is prone to losing her mind, and mainly uses close-range, fast-paced attacks.

Netero is a master of enhancement techniques. Although his attacks are straightforward, he incorporates his own martial arts philosophy, making him a top-tier martial artist who combines strength and skill.

The Satanic shrine is a special necromancy user, whose style is somewhat similar to his, following the "Pokémon Master" style, and is a summoner.

Kim is the opposite extreme of Netero's enhancement system, more like an upgraded version of Chrollo, with a wide variety of methods, one after another, and their battles are intricately linked.

Before the plan is fully revealed, it is difficult for others to guess what his specific thoughts are.

Mahah is a different type from the others mentioned above.

He is the number one assassin in the six continents. There are no fancy tricks in his battles. Everything he does has only one purpose: to kill his target.

Therefore, he was extremely ruthless, his attacks were very tricky, and his timing was the best he had ever seen.

If we compare Netero and Maha, he believes Netero is better at handling skirmishes, while Maha is better at prepared battles, and even killing targets.

Unfortunately, Mahathir was unable to fully utilize his strengths against him.

Therefore, the ending was predictable.

After playing against each other for a while, Maha also realized this unacceptable fact.

From beginning to end, he had no chance of winning against Lynn!

It seemed that he and Lynn were evenly matched, reaching a balance, but in fact Lynn never used his full strength.

Whenever he used more power to attack, Lynn's strength would increase again, always maintaining a similar level to his.

He's been being played by Lynn the whole time!

No, it should be said that Lynn used him as a practice target.

For so many years, since he gained such strength, this was the first time he had been treated like this, yet he still couldn't beat Lynn.

His prized killing skills seemed utterly worthless in front of Lynn.

He clearly realized that Lynn was not exaggerating.

Lynn really does have the ability to kill him!

And he was going to die at Lynn's hands!

This moment came sooner than he had anticipated.

When Mahal attempted to trade blows for a fatal one, risking his life, the latter seized the opportunity.

In an instant, time seemed to stand still, and Maha was startled.

Could it be... the Heart Drop Punch Listening?!

"I made a wrong move."

"Maha."

At that moment, Maha heard the voice in Lynn's heart, like a death knell from hell.

The next moment, Lynn, who had merged with Zoro, unleashed an astonishing aura and was about to unleash his strongest attack!

"Ghostly aura!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange black-purple aura suddenly burst forth from Lynn's body, tightly binding Hyōrinmaru and Ryūjin Jakka, its momentum soaring into the sky and dispersing the gray-brown dust swirling around them.

In the broken airflow, three hideous silhouettes appeared out of thin air, and six arms holding knives pierced out from the void, each hand gripping a knife wrapped in will-o'-the-wisps.

"Asura!"

Chapter 229 S-Rank Blue-Eyes White Dragon Egg! Wishing for the Dragon Ball!

The voice just fell.

A dark purple ghostly aura surged into the sky, transforming Lynn into a three-headed, six-armed demon Rakshasa crawling out of hell, containing an astonishingly sharp sword intent.

At this moment, Lynn truly revealed his full strength, and the sudden change in pressure was like a mountain pressing down on Mah's shoulders.

As the person closest to Lynn and one of the strongest individuals on the six continents, he was best able to sense how powerful this aura was, and his pupils contracted subconsciously.

Although I was mentally prepared.

But when Lynn actually demonstrated such strength, he was still shocked, because it exceeded his expectations.

This is a doomed situation!

The next moment, Lynn, who seemed to have three heads and six arms, suddenly unleashed a terrifyingly powerful strike. It seemed that nothing could remain unscathed in the face of this attack!

Although he doesn't have a sword in his mouth like Zoro and can use the Nine-Sword Style Ashura, his Six-Sword Style Ashura is still quite good.

boom!!

A massive, dark purple sword aura, brimming with terrifying power, engulfed Maha's small, thin figure before hurtling off into the distance, leaving a straight sword mark on the ground.

The ground trembled violently, thick smoke and dust billowed out, visibility plummeted, and a fierce wind suddenly arose.

Even the Four Purple Flame Formation could not stop this attack in the slightest, but when the sword energy touched the barrier, it shattered it almost without stopping, breaking through the tight barrier.

Without any obstruction, the sword energy flew a distance further, shredding several trees into dust, until it finally disappeared after its energy was completely exhausted.

"not bad."

Lynn looked at the completely destroyed scene, nodded slightly, and was quite satisfied with his strike.

Without realizing it, he had become accustomed to the mess on the battlefield.

After all, he plays in high-level matches, and his opponents are so rare that even one in a billion wouldn't be enough to describe them, let alone one in ten thousand.

In battles between powerful individuals, it's perfectly normal for them to casually damage the arena.

Just to be on the safe side, Lynn checked the site and only felt relieved after seeing Mah's body.

It's a pity that his [Clay Doll] is only A+ grade, which is not enough to turn a strong person like Maha into a permanent doll, otherwise he would never have missed this good opportunity.

Now...

Lynn still planned to put it away for now, since it was the corpse of an S-level expert, and it might be useful in the future.

For example... give it to the ant king.

Although he has never seen the King Ant in person, let alone fought it, based on his encounters with Neferpitou, Netero, and others, his current full-power state should not be much different from the King Ant before its evolution.

He speculated that the Ant King's strength might be within the S- rank, and perhaps the evolved Ant King in the original work could reach the level of an S- rank gatekeeper.

In any case, the stronger the Ant King is, the better for him, because the higher the level of the cards dropped after defeating him.

As for whether it can't be resolved?

This problem does not exist.

In the original story, even the evolved Ant King could be poisoned to death by the poor man's rose, and the poor man's rose is not the strongest weapon of mankind. There are also more advanced forbidden weapons bombs.

He could easily imitate Niterói and carry one or even several high-strength and highly toxic bombs as a backup plan.

Even if he can't defeat the evolved Ant King, he can choose to use bombs to solve the problem, since that's part of his "strength" anyway.

As for how to avoid being affected, that's even simpler.

His [Substitute Scarecrow] can withstand multiple fatal attacks; seize the opportunity to teleport away using the [Door-Door Fruit] coordinates.

Or you could prepare a useless character card as a human bomb... there are many ways.

The real question is how to make the king ant evolve to be even stronger.

In return, he could provide some high-energy substances, such as the gold and silver ingots collected earlier, the corpses of the current Maha, or the high-end delicacies consumed daily...

He plans to make the Ant King even stronger than in the original story!

Coming back to his senses, Lynn focused his attention on the cards that Maha had dropped.

His eyes lit up as soon as he saw the name field.

【Name: Blue-Eyed White Dragon Egg】

[Rank: S-]

[Type: Character Card]

[Background: Yu-Gi-Oh!]

[Introduction: This legendary dragon egg, imbued with dragon's might, requires one year to hatch. It hatches as an S-rank egg. The following types of items can accelerate hatching and improve its strength and aptitude: 1. High-nutrient substances. 2. Items containing dragon energy. 3. ...]

It was an S-class Blue-Eyes White Dragon egg!

Blue-Eyes White Dragon, also known as Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Bride Dragon... is Seto Kaiba's ace monster.

Since a deck can only contain three copies of the same type, Kaiba even tore up his fourth Blue-Eyes White Dragon, keeping the remaining three in his deck.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon is extremely powerful, which is why Kaiba loves it so fervently, calling it "a legendary dragon capable of crushing any enemy, with immeasurable destructive power."

Its attack power is as high as 3000, and it is an 8-star monster card of the Light attribute and Dragon type.

Such beings, once hatched, will be incredibly powerful.

Unfortunately, it takes a year to incubate.

This is a very short time for dragon-type creatures, which are generally considered to be "late bloomers," and fortunately there are ways to accelerate hatching and improve their aptitude.

By providing the blue-eyed white dragon eggs with high-energy substances and substances containing dragon energy, the incubation time can be shortened.

Ok……

I need to pay more attention to this area from now on. I don't know if I can hatch the Blue-Eyes White Dragon before fighting the Ant King.

If there's enough time, we'll be even more confident.

Perhaps we can defeat the evolved Ant King without using special weapons like the Rose.

After dealing with Maha, Lynn acted as if nothing had happened, met with Silva and Geno, and stayed temporarily at the Zoldyck family as a guest, with the purpose of loading up the timeline.

Apart from him and his puppet, no one else in the Zoldyck family knew that Maha had been dealt with by him.

Mahah rarely showed his face, and even his family members seldom saw him, so it was easy to conceal his death. If asked, it would be easy to come up with an excuse that he was "out running errands."

Considering that the Zoldyck family was already under his control, Maha's death would have a negative impact on this force, so he planned to keep it a secret.

He could replace Maha and protect the Zoldyck family, but that would openly tell others that the Zoldycks are his henchmen.

He preferred to treat this assassin family as a clandestine force, which would make it easier to carry out intelligence gathering, assassinations, and other missions.

The problem with Maha has been solved, but that doesn't mean the Zoldyck family is no longer a threat.
