Law felt extremely uncomfortable.
The sensation of the seal loosening was like having an itchy nose but being unable to sneeze.
It was very uncomfortable and distressing.
Every cell in his body was restless, like a dam about to burst.
Law tried to calm it, but it had no effect.
He could feel the power sublimating within him, like a fierce beast constantly ramming against its cage, restless and roaring.
Unable to calm it, Law gave up. He looked at Kuro, raised his right hand, and said, "Come back for now."
Without a word, Kuro transformed into smoke and burrowed into the back of Law's right hand.
The soldiers who witnessed this were dumbfounded. If the enemy they were just about to deal with was a monster, then what was this person who had effortlessly defeated the monster?
Disregarding his distinctive face, judging from his attire alone, he didn't seem to be someone of great wealth or status. They wondered if this person a lower-class passenger from the B.W.
By the time the soldiers regained their composure, Law's figure was already gone.
Looking around, they saw only the gruesome scene and the continuous flow of people in the distance.
Law moved with the crowd, heading towards the location of his next target.
Soon, he found another assailant engaged in combat with the military.
"A black boa constrictor?"
Law stared intently at the assailant inside the area, whose eyes were narrowed into slits. Three black boa constrictors coiled around the assailant, forming a barrier that blocked the soldiers' bullets.
Seeing these three boas, Law immediately thought of the black snake that committed the nightly murders. However, according to Kuro's description, that snake was very small, far from the image of a boa constrictor.
'The black snake is a Nen Beast, it's not strange for its size to change. So, the person controlling the black snake for the murders is most likely this guy.'
Inside the area was the man with narrowed eyes, Daemon, the controller of the black snake.
His black snake could use shadows as spatial-temporal tunnels to move freely to various distant locations, but it had several restrictions. One of them was that it was limited to killing ninety-nine people per day.
Therefore, having already reached his daily quota, Daemon was not using the black snake to kill. Instead, he was using a gun to exchange fire with the Kakin Empire's soldiers.
Although the black snake currently lacked the permission to kill, Daemon could use it as armor covering his body to block the soldiers' powerful gunfire.
Then, ensuring his defense wouldn't be pierced by bullets, he strolled leisurely amidst the piles of corpses on the ground, casually picking up firearms left behind by dead soldiers. A burst of gunfire from him would then reap another wave of experience.
The terrain was an open area, lacking cover, allowing Daemon with his single firearm to actually tear the Kakin soldiers to shreds.
Law was just one step away from being able to fully release the seal within him. Just looking at Daemon's figure made him want to rush out and finish him.
Taking a deep breath, Law couldn't hold back.
He believed that once his Nen was unsealed, any concerns he had before would no longer matter.
"Go."
Law said softly, then charged towards the combat zone.
His movement immediately drew the attention of both Daemon and the Kakin Empire's soldiers.
Daemon had little reaction, while a portion of the Kakin soldiers quickly shifted their gun muzzles to aim at the charging Law.
If he wasn't an ally, he was most likely enemy reinforcements.
This was a judgment based on the Kakin soldiers' position. However, the soldiers didn't open fire immediately, as they weren't entirely sure Law was Daemon's reinforcement.
Seeing the Kakin soldiers aiming at him, Law chose to ignore them for the moment. He raised his right hand, using the same trick to have Kuro transform into a throwing knife, which he then hurled towards Daemon.
The throwing knife wasn't very fast, so the Kakin soldiers could barely see the stranger charging forward as he threw a black shadow towards Daemon.
Watching the throwing knife approach, Daemon's face showed no reaction.
One of the black boa constrictors coiled around him suddenly lashed out its tail, accurately coiling around the incoming throwing knife.
Daemon manipulated the black snake to bring the coiled knife before his eyes. A look of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he then cast a cold glance at Law, who had stopped moving after throwing the knife.
At that moment, the throwing knife suddenly elongated, piercing into Daemon's forehead. A spray of blood instantly blossomed.
"...?"
The disdain in Daemon's eyes instantly froze.
Not far away, Law watched this scene and shook his head slightly. He felt that this group of suddenly violent assailants, despite having abundant Aura, had a rather shallow understanding of Nen Combat.
After Kuro finished off Daemon, it immediately transformed into its black panther form. Under the astonished gazes of the surrounding soldiers, it picked up Daemon's corpse and swiftly brought it before Law.
Law glanced at the phenomenon on Kuro's body that resembled data trembling. Without a word, he reached out and placed his hand on Daemon's corpse.
This was the final step.
…
Drip.
Blood droplets frequently fell to the ground, blossoming into crimson flowers.
"Tsk."
Hisoka held his severed left arm with his right hand, then raised the back of his hand to wipe the swollen red mark on his left cheek.
Covered in bloodstains in several places, he looked quite disheveled, but in reality, he had been in control the entire time.
Hisoka's gaze swept over Machi, Uvogin, Nobunaga, and finally landed on the mature and alluring Salin.
A meticulously calculated attack, on the verge of succeeding, had been thwarted by this woman.
Although he had considered Salin's presence, he didn't know her Nen Ability, so this turn of events wasn't entirely unexpected.
Expressionlessly, he reattached the severed arm to his left shoulder, then exerted his Nen Ability pushed to its limit, perfectly bonding the arm.
Hisoka's Nen had grown stronger through death, and the characteristics of his Nen Ability had been elevated to their peak.
Utilizing the properties of Bungee Gum, he could easily regenerate severed limbs in a short time.
This sublimated characteristic of his Nen had also altered his combat style, allowing him to readily sacrifice parts of his own body in exchange for offensive opportunities.
"There's still plenty of time. Let's enjoy this slowly."
Hisoka extended his alluring, pink, long tongue and licked the swollen area on his left cheek.
Around them, soldiers arrived one after another, looking warily at the bewitching yet terrifying woman in the area.
Hisoka glanced at them. A mass of pink Nen formed beneath his feet, twisting into a honeycomb shape.
Suddenly, the distorted mass of Nen exploded apart, and Hisoka's figure vanished from the spot.
"Gone?!"
The soldiers were startled. The next second, they witnessed a horrific scene.
Their comrades' heads were flying into the air one after another, and they still couldn't see that bewitching and terrifying woman.
No, not just their comrades' heads... their own were too...!
"What... is happening?"
Nearly every soldier was bewildered, then died.
After all the soldiers were beheaded and killed, Hisoka slowly revealed his figure once more.
Not wanting these soldiers to disrupt his fun, Hisoka had decisively acted, using his incredible speed to eliminate all the soldiers in an instant, absorbing the minuscule black energy they produced.
Not far away, Machi and the others watched Hisoka, whose power had clearly increased significantly, with grave expressions.
"Next, I'll kill her first."
Hisoka raised his slender index finger, pointing it in the air towards Salin.
Being singled out like this, Salin showed no fear, while Machi and the others' faces filled with cold killing intent.
At that moment, a powerful wave of Nen Fluctuation washed over from a certain place on the field, causing both Hisoka and Machi's group to shudder slightly.
Under the sunshade area, Beyond, who had been bored and yawning, abruptly changed his expression. Every member of his team, including Pariston, looked towards a certain direction.
Backstage of the stage.
"Oh?"
Nasubi's previously narrowed eyes snapped wide open.
Behind him, the terrifying Nen Beast, the Spider Mother, instantly manifested its form.
Nasubi looked back at the Spider Mother and said calmly, "Delicious food is everywhere, but interesting puppet materials are not common. So, I disagree."
