Boom boom boom...
The fists and claws continued to collide, stirring up visible energy and causing the surrounding ground to crack and collapse.
The application of mind energy, which Enhancers like 'flow' and 'hard' excel at, was used to the limit by Mark. However, with every collision, he continued to fall back.
Even his chest and shoulders were covered with deep, bloody claw marks torn by the Beast's claws.
"Ah!!!"
Being suppressed and suffering aggravated injuries made Mark extremely frightened and angry, but he could not escape the onslaught of the Beast and could only roar in desperation, seeking opportunities to counterattack.
Boom!
There was another collision. Mark's fist and the sharp claws of the Beast clashed together. The powerful force disrupted the surrounding space and even caused the ground beneath them to collapse into a pit.
The sharp claws contracted and grabbed.
However, in this collision, the Beast not only blocked Mark's punch but also captured his fist with its sharp claws.
The sharp claws easily penetrated Mark's fist enveloped in mind energy, and with a quick twist, Mark's fist was torn directly from his wrist.
"Ah!!!"
Blood splattered, and the roar turned into a shrill scream.
The pain of his broken hand caused Mark's face to become distorted, and he stumbled backward in a particularly embarrassed manner.
"Cat-claw punch!"
The Beast's eyes remained unchanged as it discarded the torn-off palm, and its petite body turned into white lightning, shooting out and instantly striking Mark's head with its sharp claws.
Poof!!!
Bones shattered and flesh and blood flew everywhere.
With one claw, Mark not only had his neck crooked and his cervical vertebrae broken but also lost the flesh on half of his face.
The screams stopped suddenly, and the stumbling figure lost strength and fell to the ground.
The Beast, having eliminated Mark, nimbly landed on the edge and casually shook off the blood from its claws.
If it were a game, you would see the experience bar above the Beast jump up as it defeated Mark, getting closer to the medical limit of evolution.
For others, fighting is merely a form of training, but for the Beast, fighting is an experience that truly aids growth.
The experience gained from killing a first-class Nen practitioner is naturally valuable, causing the Beast's tail to swing happily after the battle.
Similarly, with Mark's death, the complete annihilation of the Death Mercenary Group was also marked.
In contrast to the brutality of the other side, John, Steve, Mia, and the Beast seemed to have merely warmed up, with no casualties, maintaining an extremely calm demeanor.
"This is the first wave. It has happened so many times that I can't even remember," Steve remarked casually, glancing at the corpses around him and yawning.
