With fewer people, even if there was one more person, there would be an absolute difference in combat power.
On the other hand, if nearly a hundred people were selected, then with more people, even if they couldn't be divided into teams with an equal number of people, the difference in strength wouldn't be too obvious.
Five people seemed to be just the right choice.
Moreover, the situation of Kurapika and the other five was also easy to distinguish.
Kurapika, Menchi, and Neon were clearly joining forces.
The other two players were also joining forces.
In this situation, three against two, first eliminating two people, and then the final three-on-one battle.
It seemed to be the best situation.
Neon looked at the two unfamiliar players on the other side.
She wasn't afraid of fighting monsters, but her hands were shaking when it came to fighting people.
Neon had never killed anyone, or even killed any living thing, let alone people.
"Don't worry, little Neon. Leave these two guys to me and Kurapika. As for you, let's decide the winner in the end!"
Although Neon felt that this proposal was a little bad, feeling like she was taking advantage of others, she didn't really want to hurt people.
She didn't speak, so Menchi took it as her default.
Then, she turned her head and looked at the other two players.
The two people's gazes didn't dodge at all.
The five people were all existences who were selected from a hundred elite players.
Who would be afraid of whom?
For these two players, they weren't afraid of even the Zodiacs.
Their power wasn't weak either.
Menchi swung the knife in her hand. "Kurapika, let's each solve one of them!"
She thought Kurapika would agree, but Menchi saw Kurapika shaking his head.
Her face wasn't very good. "Hey! We're all hunters. If you don't cooperate with us, are you going to join forces with those two bastards on the other side?"
Hearing these words, the eyes of the two players on the opposite side lit up.
The two of them looked at Kurapika. "Everyone is a player in this game. You're called Kurapika, right! Join forces with the two of us, solve the two women first, and then the three of us will have a fair duel. I think it will save a lot of time."
Another person also said with a smile, "That's right! Anyway, there's only one winner in the end. No matter which side you stand on, you'll have to fight each other in the end. Joining forces with the two of us to solve the two women will definitely be much faster."
Kurapika smiled. "Your analysis is good. No matter which side I'm on in the end, we'll have to decide the winner."
But Kurapika turned his head and struck a battle pose towards the direction of Menchi and Neon.
"However, there's no need to rush the battle between us." Hearing these words, the four people were slightly stunned.
Then, they quickly reacted.
"Could it be that"
Menchi suddenly turned around. "It's not over yet?"
Neon blinked her eyes and looked at Loki in the distance. Loki had a faint smile on his lips.
Neon knew this expression very well. This was the expression Loki would show when he was deliberately making things difficult for people.
The players in the stands saw that the five people didn't seem to be planning to attack.
They all began to wonder. "What's wrong? Are they not going to attack?"
"Hurry up and attack! What are you wasting time for?"
"Don't shout. They probably can't hear you inside. With that adult's methods, how could he let the audience outside affect the players who are participating in the competition?"
Familiar sounds of breaking ice rang out one after another.
This time, it was even more intense than the previous two times.
Boom! Boom boom!! Boom boom!
There were still seventy-nine Shadow Black Unit One machines left.
Twenty-one had been killed from the hundred-man troop.
But the remaining seventy-nine appeared together.
At the same time, they activated the shadow beasts.
One huge shadow beast after another appeared, pushing each other, and actually occupied most of the central square.
"There's still more"
"And the number is several times more than before"
"Will there still be more after we solve this batch?"
"There shouldn't be. There are no more ice sculptures on the square."
Speaking of ice sculptures, some players just remembered that every time Shadow Black Unit One appeared, it broke out of the ice.
Almost all of the ice sculptures on the field had turned into Shadow Black Unit Ones.
The players in the stands carefully checked the entire square.
There were no other ice sculptures on the square. It seemed that there wouldn't be any more monsters appearing.
Loki tilted his head and looked at the five people. "The battle has only just begun!"
At this time, he sensed Kurapika's gaze. Loki opened his mouth and silently said a few words to him.
Kurapika looked at the shape of Loki's mouth.
He interpreted Loki's words in his heart.
'You've become a lot stronger, Kurapika.'
'You have a lot of questions you want to ask me, right! Then let me see how much you've improved first.'
'If you satisfy me, I'll tell you what you want to know.'
Having learned Loki's meaning, Kurapika clenched his fists.
"He still hasn't changed at all. He only pays attention to the things he's interested in and doesn't consider other people's feelings at all."
Kurapika was a little angry.
Loki clearly knew how much influence he had caused.
But he wasn't anxious at all. On the contrary, it was as if it had nothing to do with him.
The Zodiacs of their Hunter Association had become like ants on a hot pot because of the current situation.
But Loki wasn't worried at all.
Kurapika knew very well that Loki had no interest in the questions he wanted to ask.
If Loki wasn't curious about how much he had become stronger, he probably wouldn't have said such a condition.
"What are you talking about, Kurapika? These monsters are coming up. Don't be distracted!"
Menchi reminded Kurapika.
The five people had now completely abandoned their hostility towards each other and were standing close together.
The expressions of the two players were a little unnatural. "Damn it, there are still so many game monsters. This is too much!"
"If they can still cooperate as tacitly as before, we have no chance of winning at all, right!"
Even if Menchi wanted to say that these monsters were nothing, she couldn't say it.
With this number, if they still used that tactic from before, releasing laser beams from a distance and using their blades to force them back once they got close, they could only be in a state of being passively beaten all the time.
Some cold sweat also appeared on Neon's forehead.
At this time, Kurapika raised his hand, took off his coat, and took a step forward.
The four people looked at Kurapika's inexplicable actions.
Menchi: "What are you going to do? Come back. Don't be impulsive"
However, before she could finish her words, a powerful aura surged from Kurapika's body in an instant.
Boom boom boom!
Several Shadow Black Unit One mechs exploded one after another.
The wreckage scattered all over the ground.
Then, it turned into specks of starlight and disappeared.
Kurapika, who was squatting, slowly stood up.
"There are only five left!"
Saying this, he prepared to turn around and put his gaze on the Shadow Black Unit Ones that were fighting Menchi and Neon.
Dark chains were gently floating around him.
The intensity of the Nen injected into those chains was far beyond everyone's imagination.
The audience was very surprised that he had solved so many Shadow Black Unit Ones so quickly.
"How much time has passed?"
"Thirty seconds"
"He actually solved most of the monsters by himself. Who is this blond kid?"
"This guy is a member of the Zodiacs. It seems that he was just selected into the Hunter Association's Zodiacs. I thought he was just a newcomer with good strength, but I didn't expect his combat power to be so terrifying."
The players were discussing Kurapika's identity and origin.
In the stands, a guy who was using his hands to support his body from behind was looking down at Kurapika with his head raised.
"His strength is very strong. As expected of the world of Nen ability users. It's so easy to find a guy this strong."
Saying this, this person narrowed his eyes.
When Kurapika was preparing to turn around and solve the last few Shadow Black Unit Ones,
Thump thump!!
Two loud tremors rang out one after another.
Kurapika's movements also paused.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
His expression became a little dignified.
He slowly turned around.
In front of him! Two three-meter-tall giants were standing in front of him, looking down at him.
Kurapika's eyes narrowed. 'These are'
The players were also quietly staring at these two monsters that had suddenly appeared.
"These two monsters don't look like the previous ones. What are these monsters? I've never seen them before."
"These two"
