Chapter 745 - Chapter 745 Don't Laugh So Soon... Ant

Moses's aerial slash was the trumpet call of battle, propelling him straight into the palace's central courtyard.

Youpi and Pouf were concerned about the King, so they inevitably responded immediately.

However, compared to Pouf, who condensed a clone and intended to intercept Moses from the air, Youpi's positioning left him far less room to maneuver.

So, when Youpi diverted his attention to Moses, the two assassins from the Zoldyck Family, who were already ready to strike, naturally did not miss the opportunity to attack.

[Dragon Fang]

An extremely sharp violet Nen Arrow suddenly shot out from Zeno's hand-chop gesture and headed towards Youpi's temple.

At the same time…

Silva also acted.

He wasn't as quick as Zeno in timing his attack, but not by much.

[Explosive Orbs]

Silva leaped skyward and condensed two huge Nen Spheres with a diameter of more than three meters in the air, and then threw them towards Youpi below.

The moment Zeno's Dragon Fang hit Youpi's temple, two huge Nen Spheres that flew out of Silva's hands also fell on Youpi's body.

Boom!

When the huge Nen Spheres touched Youpi's body, it suddenly turned into surging and violent energy, exploding and engulfing Youpi's crimson body.

The powerful impact that followed created waves of shockwave visible to the naked eye, sweeping in all directions.

Tap-

Silva landed lightly amid the dispersing energy, and returned to Zeno's side with effortless grace.

"Father…"

"I saw it."

Zeno nodded slightly, but his eyes revealed a hint of undisguised tension.

When the attack hit, he clearly noticed that the distribution of Youpi's Aura did not change at all, or it should be said that it was as very stable.

And even after the attack landed, Youpi's Aura fluctuations remained terrifyingly steady.

By conventional logic, Dragon Fang is a concentrated Emission-Type attack that compresses the Aura.

Facing this form of attack, even the most powerful Enhancer can't just rely on Ken to resist the attack, and can only mobilize the Aura in other parts to enhance the attacked part's defense.

Doing so would inevitably weaken other areas' Aura defense.

That was where Silva's Explosive Orbs came in, as its omnidirectional blasts could target any imbalance in the defense.

This round of attack alone greatly demonstrated the tacit cooperation between Zeno and Silva in the battle, as well as the ruthless style of a first-class Emitter who wants to kill the target with one move.

However-

Youpi relied on his pure Aura defense to resist the combined killing attack of Zeno and Silva.

It cannot be said that he was unscathed, but they were just some superficial injuries that were not a big deal to Youpi.

This was the absurd margin for error granted by monstrous Manifested Aura.

When facing Zeno's concentrated attack, even if Youpi subconsciously mobilized part of his Aura to enhance his defense, the Aura defense in other parts of his body was still at a sufficient level.

So, even if he was attacked by a group of top-notch Emitters, Youpi only suffered some minor skin injuries.

'A real monster...'

Zeno looked at the crimson figure emerging from the smoke and dust and thought in his heart.

If it were a normal Nen User, they would have been dead the moment they revealed their flaw in front of Zeno and Silva.

Because the combined attack of Zeno and Silva was too powerful.

Morel and the others were unable to provide real-time assists and could only watch as Silva's Explosive Orbs caused a violent explosion on Youpi's body.

Morel and his group were all experienced Nen Users, and they saw at a glance the brutality of the combined attack of Zeno and Silva.

But the result was only some minor injuries to Youpi...

If Moses could see this scene at this moment, he might've applauded for Zeno and Silva.

After all-

In the original work, Morel and his companions never managed to truly injure Youpi even after trying their best.

The only one who actually managed to break through Youpi's defense was Killua, who had developed Godspeed to a certain degree.

But unfortunately...

Even though Killua used his Godspeed to give Youpi a dazzling combo, he couldn't even break his skin.

Now, Zeno and Silva have caused Youpi some damage with just one move, which can be said to be a good start.

But at this moment, Moses had no time to pay attention to the battle situation on Youpi's side.

As he descended into the courtyard, his gaze snapped downward…

There was the clone of Pouf that had just taken shape, emitting a fierce and malicious Aura.

'Just a clone...'

Moses lowered his eyes, straightened the black sword, and pointed the tip of the sword directly at Pouf.

[Super Speed - Nyoi Bo - Point Flash]

A faint light flashed on the black sword, and then the blade suddenly extended, turning into a stream of black light, shooting towards Pouf's clone below.

'Your moves... I've memorized them all!'

Pouf looked at the black light coming towards him and sneered in his heart.

[Beelzebub]

A white light appeared on the body of Pouf's clone, and the next moment, it split into dozens of palm-sized clones that scattered around.

The black sword, which extended rapidly like lightning, pierced into the air and passed through the many clones.

"Hahaha…!"

Many clones of Pouf looked at the black sword that extended dozens of meters but stabbed into the air, and burst into laughter almost at the same time.

Suddenly, Pouf's slightly mocking laughter echoed in the sky.

But at this moment, Moses's figure appeared out of thin air above the blade that was suspended in the air.

"What!?"

Seeing Moses appearing out of nowhere, the many Pouf's clones immediately stopped laughing and looked at Moses in surprise.

After observing many times, Pouf actually has a general understanding of Moses's abilities.

In his opinion, the most troublesome part was undoubtedly Moses's ability to instantly switch places with his shadow.

However, as long as he keeps an eye on the shadow's movements, or carefully observe whether there is a shadow next to Moses, he can defend against Moses's offensive tactics to a certain extent.

But…

'I clearly didn't see any shadow, so how could this guy teleport here?'

Pouf's heart skipped a beat.

At this moment, Moses condensed a shadow sphere in the air and held it in his palm.

The reason why he was able to teleport here in this situation was because he put a unit of shadow on the black sword.

Since both the shadow and the black sword are as black as ink, and both emit Nen, it is nearly impossible to distinguish them.

After all, Pouf lacked combat experience and was unable to capture the fleeting information in the battle based on some subtle changes.

In addition to being surprised, Pouf's many clones suddenly felt a threat approaching.

Before they could react, the many clones saw Moses threw the shadow sphere in his hand towards them.

In the next instant,

There were countless black spikes emerging from the shadow sphere that was flying in the air.

Puff, puff…

An astonishing number of black spikes cut through the air, piercing the surrounding Pouf's clones one by one.

In the end, only a small number of Pouf's clones managed to dodge the oncoming black spikes.

Moses was also within the attack range of the black spikes, but the extended spikes melted like snowflakes the moment they touched Moses's body, without causing any harm to him.

"Next time, don't laugh so soon... ant."

Seeing many of Pouf's clones being pierced, Moses sneered in a flat tone, then ignored the remaining clones and continued to fall toward the central courtyard like a meteor.

Pouf's Beelzebub allowed him to split into countless clones or reassemble at will.

Based on this premise, the more clones there are, the weaker their individual offensive and defensive capabilities will be.

So, splitting to dodge Moses's shadow spikes had been a blunder.

But this can't be said to be Pouf's inconsiderateness...

After all, Specialist's Nen Abilities were inherently unpredictable, especially in the hands of someone like Moses, who is good at using underhanded tactics.

Unless one is a veteran Nen User with rich experience like Netero and Zeno, they would generally bound to be caught.

The only difference is-

How severe the consequences were.
