Chapter 651 - Chapter 651 Nearly Wiped Out

A sudden attack severed Little Green's head, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of blood streams shot out from Kanzai's body.

Throughout the entire process, none of the people present were able to detect the presence of the attacker.

This situation caused everyone's sense of imminent danger to skyrocket.

Because-

Even if it was Little Green, whose natural ability focused on being an 'assassin', would inevitably leave traces when making a move.

But this time, the attack was truly untraceable.

Moses's pupils contracted sharply.

Before coming out of the Shadow World, he had clearly asked 3D Hisoka to wander around the area several times.

However, nothing unusual was found and 3D Hisoka suffered no attacks.

Despite this, Moses still habitually assigned 3D Hisoka to take a guard position and keep an eye on any movement around him.

This has been a habit he has developed over a long period of time.

However, after all these arrangements, the unknown entity attacking the team had bypassed 3D Hisoka, who was serving as both a decoy and a guard...

In the blink of an eye, there was no time for extra thought.

Without hesitation, Moses stepped forward, positioning himself in front of Sanbica and the others.

At this moment, Kanzai stared wide-eyed at the blood streams shooting out in all directions.

His many years of experience as a bodyguard made him shout almost reflexively: "Stay away from me!"

Before his voice faded, Kanzai activated his Nen Ability, [Tiger Stripe].

Yellow and black stripes appeared on the surface of his skin shrouded in condensed Aura, and the rapidly enhanced healing ability caused the dozens of wounds to heal at an astonishing speed.

But the next second.

Dozens of blood streams shot out from Kanzai's freshly healed body again.

Moreover, the attack is still untraceable, and not only was there no movement, there wasn't even the slightest fluctuation of Aura.

What was even more absurd was...

When the wounds split open, Kanzai didn't feel any sensation at all.

"Dammit, what the hell is going on...?!"

The intense sense of crisis caused Kanzai's expression to change drastically.

Immediately afterwards, the untraceable attack struck again. Kanzai's face, arms, abdomen, thighs, and feet all simultaneously split open with wounds the size of a pinky finger, and blood streams sprayed out from them.

At this moment, the super high defense of an Enhancer seemed utterly meaningless.

The attack, which shattered his understanding, left Kanzai emotionally shaken, yet he felt a sense of relief.

He was relieved that the primary target of the unknown entity's attack was him, and...

The attacker's offensive power wasn't particularly strong.

Therefore, even if the attacker can ignore his Aura Defense, he could still rely on the healing ability of Tiger Stripe to recover from the injuries.

The only thing he needed to worry about was the rate of blood loss...

'No matter what, as long as Moses and the others can hide in the Nen Space in time, that will be enough!"

In less than two seconds, Kanzai had already become a bloodied mess.

The attack from the unknown entity seemed to completely ignore Aura Defense, leaving Kanzai with no choice but to maintain the operation of his Tiger Stripe.

But even with accelerated wound healing, the rate of blood production in his body couldn't keep up with the rate of blood loss.

So under this form of attack, Kanzai wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

Moses, of course, realized this. The moment Kanzai suffered the second attack, he was ready to open a Shadow World's passage, allowing his teammates to quickly take shelter inside.

There are too many unreasonable and bizarre things in the Dark Continent.

They were like powerful enemies with unknown Nen Abilities...

Before dispelling the fog surrounding these Nen Abilities, the team's margin for error was terrifyingly low.

The worst-case scenario would undoubtedly be using human lives to uncover the secrets of these abilities, thereby gaining the opportunity to formulate countermeasures.

But the problem is… defeating the 'unknown entity' wouldn't bring any benefits to the team.

This was the fundamental reason why the team adhered to the principle of avoiding trouble whenever possible.

Therefore, the best solution is to quickly escape from the battle.

However, what Moses and Kanzai didn't expect was...

There was more than one 'unknown entity' that attacked them.

Ssshhh, sshh, sshh...!

Aside from Moses, everyone else in the team was subjected to attacks from the 'unknown entity' and instantly followed Kangzai's footsteps, with blood spurting out from all parts of their bodies.

The defense provided by Aura is completely meaningless at this moment.

Even Biscuit, the most experienced member of the team, was helpless in the face of this untraceable attack that ignored aura defense.

In the blink of an eye, slender blood streams bloomed in the air like fireworks.

Everyone's expressions changed drastically, experiencing the same sensations as Kanzai.

There was no tactile sensation of an attack landing, yet their bodies were inexplicably injured...

And dozens of wounds appeared simultaneously.

When Moses saw this scene, his heart was shaken for a moment.

'Why am I the only one who was not attacked...'

This doubt flashed through his mind like lightning, and Moses suddenly stopped the act of creating a Shadow World's passage.

The experience and knowledge he had accumulated over the years prompted him to act on instinct. Then, his thoughts rapidly shifted, leading him to a certain possibility based on the 'difference'.

'Why is 3D Hisoka, who was responsible for clearing the path, unharmed?'

'And why was I also safe even though I was standing at the center of the attack?'

'What do I and 3D Hisoka have in common? And how are we different from the others?'

'It's the shadow!'

Thanks to the experience brought by Soul Echo, Moses quickly arrived at the answer.

When using his ability to conjure shadow clones, Moses had no shadow, and neither did the two shadow clones he created.

'Having a shadow versus not having a shadow.'

'That was the difference.'

'That's why 3D Hisoka wasn't attacked while clearing the path…'

Moses' mind raced, and he quickly gathered his Aura into his hands, assuming a posture similar to Franklin's Double Machine Gun.

In the next moment, his Aura flowed like a torrent through his fingertips, transforming into Nen Bullets that shot out with precision, striking the shadows behind his teammates.

The Nen Bullets exploded upon hitting the shadows, scattering grass and dirt, while also releasing faint wisps of white smoke.

Ssshhh…

Accompanied by an almost imperceptible sound, small black objects, no larger than a baby's fist, tumbled out from the flying debris.

These black objects had elongated bodies, with thin, wing-like structures extending from their sides, resembling tangled power lines crisscrossing haphazardly.

As they fell out of the shadows, the ends of their thin wings acted like limbs, propping them up on the ground. They trembled for a moment before collapsing, without any sign of life.

As their vitality faded, the bodies of these creatures seemed to deflate and quickly became flat.

At a glance, they looked like shadows of something or black paper cutouts lying on the ground.

At the same time.

The 'attack phenomenon' that had been continuously inflicting wounds on everyone also ceased.

Seeing this, the turmoil in Moses' heart finally began to settle.

Then, he looked at his teammates, who were covered in blood, and his face tightened involuntarily.

The attack power of this unknown bug-like creature is not very strong, but it can ignore the defense of mind...

In other words, they caused damage through shadows.

As a result, every attack dealt real damage, and no one could withstand such a high frequency of attacks.
