Chapter 767 - Chapter 767 Awakened

If we look at the fight as a whole, the King wasn't necessarily at an absolute disadvantage.

His hard exoskeleton and the endurance brought by the huge Manifested Aura are the assets that could lead him to victory.

But the King didn't want to win through a battle of endurance.

Whether it was due to pride or pursuit, it didn't matter.

'Speed... faster speed than him.'

While enduring Moses's relentless attack, the King came to understand what he lacked in this fight.

If only he could be faster.

Just like that, a seemingly natural thought took root and sprouted in the King's mind.

Thus, the talent that could not be explained by common sense responded to the King's thoughts.

To be more precise, the King's need and intention at this moment aligned perfectly with his own innate category.

Because-

The King is an Emitter.

Even though the King himself wasn't aware of this fact, it didn't stop his thoughts from synchronizing with his Nen Category.

'Let the life force 'drive' the body to move...'

With the Nen Category of 100% conversion rate, coupled with the talent that transcends the biological limits, the King's thoughts became reality in this instant.

Swoosh-

A faint, high-pitched whistle rang through the air.

The King, who was covered in sparks from Moses's lightning-fast slashes, suddenly vanished.

The next moment,

The King reappeared fifty meters in front of Moses.

Just now, the King had used a relatively standard Emission-Type movement technique.

By taking advantage of Aura's 'wrapping' and 'propulsion' properties, he launched his body at a speed the naked eye couldn't track.

Using this Emission-style application, the King escaped Moses's relentless flurry of thunderous slashes.

Seeing the King suddenly move out of his attack range, Moses was slightly taken aback and quickly stopped his attack. He then shifted his blade horizontally in front of him, and settled into a stance ready for both offense and defense.

'Emission-Type Ability…'

In the next instant, Moses understood how the King had escaped from his attack.

However-

'He is too fast.'

'So fast it looked like teleportation.'

While both 'teleportation' and 'linear movement' are extensions of Emission-Type Ability, there's still a key difference between them.

The former is difficult to develop, but it has broader applications.

The latter is easier to develop, but it's more limited in function.

And what the King had just used was the simpler linear movement Emission-Type Ability.

But the problem is-

The King's Nen is too strong.

So much so that when he used the 'linear movement' ability, it actually gave people the feeling that he was using a 'teleportation' ability.

Fortunately, Moses now had the boost from Godspeed.

Otherwise, let alone capturing the King's movements with the naked eye, even trying to trace his path through residual Aura would've been no easy feat.

'He evolved under pressure...'

Realizing the King had grasped Emission-Type movement techniques, Moses frowned slightly, realizing there's going to be trouble.

The reason why he had been able to overwhelm the King wasn't just due to their difference in mastery, but also thanks to the boost from Godspeed.

Who would have thought the King would awaken his Emitter-Type Nen Ability under such pressure...

'Is it because he was suppressed so badly?'

Before Moses could think more about it, the King once again vanished from his field of view, leaving only some traces of Aura in its original place.

Moses's pupils contracted slightly, and he suddenly swung his sword toward the air on his right.

Clang!

Sparks erupted violently as the pitch-black blade met resistance.

The King had reappeared at Moses's right side at a speed comparable to teleportation, but his attack was intercepted just as it began.

The King, who had just awakened his ability, widened his eyes slightly when he saw Moses was able to resist the attack so promptly.

In the King's opinion, with this newly awakened ability, he is confident that he can defeat Netero's 100-Type Guanyin in five moves.

But in front of Moses, his sudden burst of offense was neutralized with ease.

However-

'The real battle started now!'

The King's eyes were cold, and his tail, driven by the Emission-Type Aura, suddenly lashed toward Moses's wide-open left side like a viper.

Before this strike, the King hadn't developed a clear tactical plan, nor had he expected Moses to fend off his explosive right-side attack so smoothly.

He was simply reacting in the moment, choosing the most effective path of attack after his previous strike was blocked.

Facing the whip-like tail, Moses responded with even greater speed, activating his Nyoi-Bo ability.

Shhh-

The black sword suddenly lengthened and pushed Moses backward.

Just as Moses's body was retreating backwards, the King's powerful tail followed, but it could only strike the air, letting out a sharp sonic boom.

Moses had retreated out of range and simultaneously dispelled the black sword.

As the black sword vanished into thin air, the King's palm, which had been pressing against the black sword, lost its support and leaned slightly forward.

At that moment, Moses swiftly raised his hand and a ball of Aura formed in his palm, which he then used to re-conjure the black sword.

Then, after stabilizing his body, Moses swung his sword at the King, who was six or seven meters away.

This distance was beyond the normal reach of a sword.

However, the blade extension ability from Nyoi-Bo allows Moses to bridge that gap mid-attack.

Accompanied by the sound of air being torn apart, the black sword's blade suddenly extended and came to the neck of the King.

If this were before the King awakened his Emission-Type Ability, he would definitely had no way to respond to such a fluid and tricky move...

But now, he had a chance.

Swoosh!

The King disappeared out of thin air.

He had once more used the linear movement Emitter-Type ability, dodging Moses's extending slash with speed akin to teleportation.

The next moment,

The King reappeared on Moses's left side, and his palm, which was filled with condensed Aura, was already approaching Moses's face.

Once again, he had chosen the left side for his attack.

Because Moses held his sword in his right hand, which naturally left his left side more exposed when attacking.

However-

A black sword unexpectedly appeared on Moses's empty left hand, and he swung the sword towards the King's landing point almost as if he had predicted it.

This scene was reflected in the King's eyes.

Before he could react what was happening, the black sword swung by Moses slashed across his neck.

The force transmitted from the pitch-black blade smashed him straight into the ground.

Bang!

The King's back slammed hard against the ground, sending a shockwave blasting outward.

'Two swords...?'

There was a flash of surprise in the King's eyes.

In fact, the black sword that appears in Moses's left hand is the real black sword.

The first black sword was created with a shadow.
