Violette's tone was tinged with regret: "You've chosen the path to your demise."
Swish!!
The sharp, silver, and golden threads crisscrossed and flashed across the scene.
Ignoring his bleeding neck, Nobunaga continued to parry while swiftly dodging.
The two threads wielded by this female member of the Kute Gang of Thieves possessed drastically different abilities.
The silver thread passed through his sword, yet it could cut his body.
Meanwhile, the gold thread could be stopped by his blade.
Based on this...
"A rough assessment suggests that the silver thread is effective against living organisms while the golden thread is effective against inanimate matter."
The known characteristics and effects are sharpness and cutting... These are some specific characteristics of the opponent's ability that Nobunaga summarized using his injured neck.
Furthermore, Nobunaga believed that the opponent's ability was definitely not limited to just the simple sharpness and cutting characteristic, because...
"These gold and silver threads..."
Sensing the slight change in the aura, Nobunaga abruptly raised his sword towards the silver thread.
The instant he moved, the thread on Violette's left hand, which had been radiating a silvery-white light, suddenly transformed into a dazzling gold!!
At the same time, the golden thread on her right hand also suddenly turned silver!!
The two colors of thread could transform into each other!!
"However, the condition for achieving this instant transformation is that there must be fluctuations in the aura during the transformation!!"
Even though Violette concealed it very well, Nobunaga still keenly sensed the abnormality.
And promptly took precautions and parried it!!
"Impressive battle instinct!!"
Even Violette's eyes flashed with surprise.
From their first clash, he had already grasped her attack method.
You must know that she has used this trick of swapping the gold and silver threads to kill countless opponents.
Most of her enemies, after spending some time recognizing the difference in effect between her golden and silver threads, simply assumed this was her ability and focused on countering the effects of these two types of threads.
They were completely unaware that she also possessed the ability to swap them at will.
Those who came to attack her before didn't think things through.
As a member of the world's top-tier S-class criminal organization, the Kute Gang of Thieves, how could Violette's abilities be so simple and so easily seen through?
Even this thread-swapping and the sharpness and cutting on both inanimate and animate objects wasn't the full extent of her abilities.
However, in front of so many people, Violette wouldn't easily reveal her full Nen ability.
Every Nen user treats their Nen ability as a trump card; they don't easily reveal it to others.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
If the clash between Violette and Nobunaga involved a slight element of strategy, then the battle between Iron Jaw and Uvogin... was purely a clash of fist and flesh !!
The muffled thuds of each punch reverberated in the ears of the surrounding spectators.
"I see..."
Iron Jaw, forced to retreat, finally figured out Uvogin's tactics.
"So your ability is just a simple right straight punch infused with aura!!"
"Hahaha, I call it Big Bang Impact"
Uvogin laughed smugly, quite pleased with his Nen ability.
He had unwavering faith in his strength and fists, believing that one day he would unleash a world-class, destructive punch!
"A pure power honed to its peak..."
Iron Jaw stared at Uvogin: "He's an absolute monster."
If he were to fight someone who specialized purely in strength, Iron Jaw knew he stood no chance, especially since his own Nen ability wasn't meant to counter this type.
"Let's go!!"
Before Violette could speak, it was Iron Jaw, who had been fighting Uvogin to a standstill, who first suggested retreating.
"If we stay any longer, that old man will get mad."
"Yes, quite a few mafia members are heading this way..."
Violette nodded noncommittally; the current situation had exceeded their initial expectations.
They thought their opponents were just arrogant fools like the ones before.
But after actually fighting them, they discovered these guys were no ordinary individuals.
Perhaps the other side had other tricks up its sleeve.
Continuing to entangle themselves here would only result in their own losses.
"Let's go!"
Violette made a decisive choice immediately.
Iron Jaw was already prepared.
As soon as Violette uttered those words, he opened his massive mouth and forcefully gnawed at the wall behind him!!
Crack!!!
A large hole was instantly gnawed into the wall.
But strangely, the other end of the hole didn't lead to what was behind the wall.
Instead, it led to the entrance of a dark tunnel.
Iron Jaw, within the Kute Gang of Thieves, was known as the Boundary Breaker.
This was naturally related to his Nen ability!
Using his strong teeth, he could bite open a passage through a solid structure, creating a tunnel that connected to an external space, like an insect gnawing a tunnel through matter.
Iron Jaw's role within the Kute Gang of Thieves was creating an escape path after a successful heist! His Nen ability allowed team members to easily leave the scene.
"Go!!"
After forcing Uvogin back, Iron Jaw plunged inside.
Violette followed closely behind, and at the last moment before entering the hole, she didn't forget to say: "If you're not afraid of death, then try chasing us! Hehehehe!"
Leaving behind this eerie laugh, Violette's figure also disappeared into the hole.
"Don't even think about running away!!"
Uvogin, caught up in the excitement of the fight, saw the two escape so decisively.
In a moment of impulsiveness, he yelled and tried to rush forward and squeeze into the hole.
"Wait, Uvogin!!"
Thankfully, Nobunaga, the calmer person between the two, stopped Uvogin in time.
"That's the enemy's Nen ability. Who knows what awaits us inside that hole?"
That's why Nobunaga and Uvogin are such a well-matched team.
After Nobunaga stopped Uvogin and explained the situation, Uvogin quickly calmed down.
He knew that this kind of spatial hole Nen ability was full of mystery and unknowns.
No one knew what was inside or what traps were waiting for them.
If they rashly followed them inside, they might fall right into the enemy's trap.
"Perhaps, it's precisely because of this Nen ability that they have evaded capture so many times?"
Nobunaga stared thoughtfully at the shrinking hole.
Any Nen user would be wary of such a pitch-black hole.
Faced with unknown abilities and situations, no one would act rashly. This delay gave the hole a chance to shrink on its own.
Once it completely disappeared, it would be too late to chase after them.
