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

Lynn looked warily at Illumi's corpse, and only felt relieved after confirming that he had not triggered any death thoughts.

The reason he pretended to let Illumi leave was to prevent him from resorting to restraints and oaths in desperation, and to lower his guard, thus reducing his obsession and the probability of triggering his death wish.

Although Gengar can devour Death Thought, it is still quite strange, especially since it is often filled with extreme aggression when it comes to humans.

Amy's situation is extremely rare, mainly involving restraint, so it's best to prevent Illumi from developing a death wish.

The Zoldyck family has a truly impressive backstory, including not only Silva and Geno, but also their great-grandfather Maha, and the almost overpowered wish-granting machine Naniga.

Maha's strength is probably about the same as Netero's, not to mention Nanika, who is suspected to be from the Dark Continent. This thing can be said to be the most overpowered thing that has ever appeared in the original work.

Normally, he shouldn't have killed Illumi like that, otherwise it would have easily provoked retaliation from the Zoldyck family.

The Zoldyck family is small, so injuring or maiming them might not matter, but killing someone would definitely provoke retaliation, and he doesn't yet have the ability to deal with that.

Therefore, he devised two solutions:

1. Let Illumi leave.

Second, send the heroes to their deaths to free up the enemy controller slot, and then use the enemy controller's effect two to permanently control Illumi.

The effect can only be controlled temporarily and has a distance limit, so it is still difficult to send Illumi to his death without leaving a trace and without being traced back to him.

Perhaps God didn't want him to live, because when he defeated Illumi, a very interesting card was revealed.

【Name: Disguised Doll】

[Grade: A]

[Type: Item Card]

[Background: Doraemon]

[Description: A special doll. If given someone's body tissue, it can become exactly like that person, including abilities and memories. The more body tissue, the better the effect. The imitator's strength ranges from A-level to below.]

He plans to use a disguised doll to impersonate Illumi!

From this day forward, it shall be Illumi, and the real Illumi has died at his hands.

With a slight thought, Lynn conjured a palm-sized doll in his hand, tossed it onto Illumi's corpse, and it began to absorb the doll automatically.

In just a few seconds, his body and head were completely absorbed, while the doll, like a compressed towel, grew larger and taller when wet, transforming into an existence exactly like Illumi, even mimicking his clothes.

No, he should be called Illumi. Apart from being absolutely loyal to him and unharmed, he is no different from Illumi. Whether it is Nen ability, memories, or obsessive love for his younger brother Killua, they are in no way different.

"Who is your target, and who is your client?"

"The target is you, and the client is Inugami," Illumi said respectfully.

Lynn then realized that it was Inugami who contacted Illumi, and since Inugami had already been killed, the mission could be considered aborted, and Illumi could return normally.

Lynn then told Illumi to leave and continue living his normal life without revealing anything.

Nobody knew that Illumi had already been switched at birth.

Now, in addition to the Swordsman, he has another way to obtain cards: Illumi. This is a very profitable move.

Illumi, in particular, is stronger than the swordsman, and his targets are usually stronger as well.

Aside from Illumi, Inugami didn't get any cards, but Ninja Mizunashi got two cards in one go, including an A-rank card.

【Name: Chakra Refining Method】

[Grade: A-]

[Type: Item Card]

[Background: Naruto]

[Introduction: This improved chakra extraction method replaces chakra with Nen, allowing users to more easily increase their Nen volume and enhance their control over Nen.]

The Chakra Refining Method, although called Chakra, has been modified into Nen, in other words, it is a Nen training manual!

Not only can he learn from it, but he can also teach his apprentice Leorio and other subordinates. It is very suitable for cultivating power. After reading it, Lynn believed that it was an extremely important manual, no less than creating a new school of thought. No wonder it was rated A-.

In comparison, the second card seemed rather ordinary.

【Name: Water Dragon Bullet Technique Scroll】

[Rank: B]

[Type: Item Card]

[Background: Naruto]

[Description: Disposable item. The scroll contains the Water Dragon Bullet Technique, a Water Release ninjutsu. Once torn open, it can unleash an attack comparable to a full-force A-rank strike.]

Water Dragon Bullet Scroll is a one-time attack item, but he doesn't lack A-rank attacks, so it's naturally kept as a crafting material.

After he came to his senses and cleaned up the battlefield to make sure there were no hidden dangers, he used the snake charm to enter stealth mode and quickly ran towards where Bisge and the others were.

[Solo Assistance] There's only a little over a minute left. He needs to make the most of this time to get to the battlefield, and then... pick up the kills!

An A+ level enemy! If you can get him to get a kill, and he gets a card, it's definitely an A level card, no doubt about it.

If I get incredibly lucky again, I might just get an S-?

Thinking of this, Lynn's heart surged with excitement, and he quickened his pace even more. In his A+ state, he was like a man of great luck. If he encountered any enemies along the way, he would crush them with ease, and the enemies would die without even understanding what had happened in their last moments.

After all, who could imagine that there was an A+ level powerhouse in stealth mode rampaging around the base without regard for energies consumption?

Chapter 110 The Six-Form Profound Technique: Six Kings Spear! Four A+ Rank!

At full speed with an A+ rating, Lynn had the illusion of flying. If he didn't have to turn and avoid obstacles, his speed could have been even higher.

Before long, he approached Amy's bedroom.

The area had long since turned into ruins, with collapsed walls, ceilings, and all sorts of debris mixed together. It was hard to find anything intact, and the commotion was even greater than what Chopper had caused earlier.

Upon arriving here, Lynn carefully slowed down and, using his stealth abilities, crept towards the scene of the commotion.

Soon, he found Biskey on a ruin that was once magnificent but was now dilapidated and extremely hot.

At this moment, Bisge was still fighting against the enemy with another person. She was no longer the little girl she used to be. She was obviously serious and had transformed into a muscular old woman with a strong aura. Her whole body was radiating a powerful Nen aura, like an extremely dazzling fireball.

Lynn looked around and, judging from their auras alone, all three on the field were A+ level.

The unfamiliar teammate was the weakest, followed by Bisge, while the enemy was even stronger than Bisge, which is why they were able to remain standing despite the two of them working together.

The enemy had a bizarre appearance. His left face was fair and handsome, but his right face was like a demon, bright red, with a distorted face and horns like a monster. Not only his right face and right arm, but his entire right half of his body had strange, rough, red skin. The aura emanating from his body contained a strong sense of malice.

"I've told you so many times, there's no way you can beat me!"

"I am the great demon, Shuten-dōji!" Shuten-dōji declared in a resounding voice. His left cheek wore a warm, inviting smile, while his right cheek's savage grin resembled the howling of a demon rising from hell. "No one can defeat me..."

The sound stopped abruptly.

It turned out that Bisji had seized the opportunity to make a move. In a flash, she appeared in front of Shuten-dōji and slammed her fist, which was as big as a large bowl, into his chest, sending him flying.

"So much nonsense..." Bisge thought to herself.

At the same time, his teammates quickly followed, gathering their hands in front of their chests, their Nen energy surging rapidly, instantly erupting into a large amount of flames that formed an astonishing pillar of fire that engulfed Shuten-dōji.

Suddenly, the field became even hotter, with waves of heat hitting you in the face.

So that middle-aged teammate was a fire enthusiast; no wonder the temperature here felt off before.

boom!

Shuten-dōji crashed to the ground, creating a huge crater that caused the entire base to tremble slightly. At the same time, the crater was covered with raging flames.

At the A+ level, even a simple clash between the three can easily cause astonishing destruction.

However, even after taking the attacks from Bisji and the other two, Shuten-dōji was still able to move normally. He stood up and waved his hand, extinguishing the flames. He had only suffered some injuries, but they were healing themselves at an extremely fast speed.

This is his Nen ability, [Shuten-dōji]. He can transform into a yokai. In this state, his physical abilities are enhanced in all aspects. For every minute he can transform, he must abstain from alcohol for a day afterward, otherwise his life will be in danger. He can only transform for a maximum of ten minutes at a time.

Seeing this, Bisji and the other two were not surprised.

Through their previous encounters, they had figured out Shuten-dōji's abilities.

Although it doesn't exhibit any special abilities, it's still quite troublesome. Simply put, it lacks any mechanics and is all about numerical values.

To inflict significant damage on him, you must coordinate perfectly and deliver a powerful attack on a specific area in a short period of time, preventing him from healing in time. Otherwise, you can only stall for time and see who can last the longest.

"This is such a hassle..." Bisge sighed helplessly.

If she could, she really didn't want to fight in her original form, but the enemy was so powerful that she had no choice but to fight.

If the battle could be resolved quickly, that would be fine, but the enemy seems to be a power-up type, with high attack, high defense, and high recovery, making them very difficult to deal with.

Shuten-dōji roared to the sky and engaged in battle with Bisji once again.

He appeared incredibly confident on the surface, but in reality, he harbored some thoughts of retreating...

His transformation state has a time limit, and this is the enemy's base; dragging it out will definitely not be good for him.

He was confident he could win in a one-on-one situation, but the situation was completely different when it came to two people. Two fists can't beat four hands, and this applies to experts as well.

He was simply repeating the cycle of "attack - fail - be countered - attack again," while the two opponents, though somewhat exhausted, remained in stable condition.

This mission is likely to end in failure.

Shuten-dōji thought to himself, but his emotions didn't fluctuate much.

It doesn't matter if the mission isn't completed. Nothing is more important than his life and safety. With his strength and status, even if he fails to complete the mission, few people would dare to criticize him.

He wasn't worried about not being able to escape. Although he was injured and had exhausted himself, he still had no problem escaping.

Both Hijiri and the other girl were aware of this, so they only tried to force Shuten-dōji back from beginning to end, without trying to kill him.

There is a significant difference between "repelling" and "killing," and it involves considerable risk and cost, which is clearly not worthwhile.

All three had their own thoughts and feelings.

However, they did not expect that there was a fourth person on the field, someone with similar strength to them, but hidden in the shadows. In this one field, there were actually four A+ level experts.

After observing for a while, Lynn narrowed his eyes and regretfully put away the enemy controller.

His initial idea was to use the enemy controller's effect while in stealth mode to control Shuten-dōji, even if it was just a momentary opening, it would be enough for Bisji to seize the opportunity.

Unfortunately, the enemy controller needs two or three seconds to connect to a signal when facing a B-rank enemy, and at least ten seconds when facing an A+ rank enemy like Shuten-dōji.

The signal connection requires the enemy controller to keep its sights on the target, while the three people on the field are engaged in fierce fighting and are constantly moving at high speed, only occasionally separating to confront each other.

Moreover, there isn't much time left for the "Solo Assistance" skill.

Without further hesitation, Lynn decided to go himself. With his strength, as long as he could ambush Shuten-dōji, even if he couldn't kill him, he could still create a considerable opportunity.

However, the three of them were fighting too fiercely, and it would be very risky for him to approach rashly... Who knows, Bisji might punch him.

Therefore, a powerful skill that can be used from a long distance is very suitable for the current situation. The only problem is that he is not sure if he can use it.

Lynn took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and cleared his mind of all distractions, as if the outside world had vanished.

Maintaining this state, every move of the Navy Six Styles appeared in his mind: Shave, Finger Pistol, Iron Body... His daily training and combat experience played out scene by scene in his mind at this moment.

The Six Styles of the Navy was his first ability card, and also the card that accompanied him the longest.

He never gave up studying for a long time, progressing from only being able to use basic moves at the beginning to advanced moves later on.

Finally, having achieved a good level of mastery over the Six Styles, he began to try the ultimate technique of the Six Styles—the Six Kings Spear.

This is a profound technique that can only be learned after mastering all six techniques; once unleashed, its power is immeasurable.

Unfortunately, it seems that he did not meet the standards in terms of physical fitness and other aspects, and he has not succeeded for a long time. Now that he has A+ level strength, he has finally found that feeling. He does not need to study it carefully. It is an instinct that he is born with. He subconsciously crosses his hands in front of his chest, with his ten fingers slightly bent and his palms facing inward, presenting a strange posture of being ready to strike.

A gentle breeze blows...

Lynn's Observation Haki locked onto Shuten's whereabouts. Seizing the opportunity when the latter created distance, he suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them, revealing his ruthlessness.

The palms were suddenly thrust out, but it was not an ordinary impact; it vibrated violently at a frequency that was difficult to detect with the naked eye.

In an instant, a force far exceeding that of an ordinary shockwave erupted from the center of his palms, tearing the air into visible concentric ripples, and hurtling straight toward Shuten-dōji!

[Six Styles Secret Techniques - Six Kings Spear]!

what? !

Suddenly, Shuten-dōji's pupils trembled violently, and alarm bells rang in his mind, as if he were facing a life-or-death crisis.

But where is the enemy?!
