The Battles Continues.

(Vergo POV)

"Why don't we bet? It will be Double or Nothing." I asked him as I saw his confused face.

After I said that, a small bird appeared behind me. In his belly, there was the number 2x.

'Huff. My power is a big double edged knife. Every 30 seconds, the damage of my attacks doubles but it also double the amount of damage I receive. As far as I've tested it, the multiplier does not have a limit so, with enough time, I can make it go up as much as I want, there is no limit to how much my power can grow. However, even if the multiplier is limitless, my body's resistance is not. If too much strenght is infused into my body, I can die from it.' I looked at the monsters who was pointing his fingers at me, ready to fire.

As soon as he started firing again, I hid behind a box hoping to get some cover. 'I know that this box will not last long I don't want to take unnecessary damage. If I do, I'll receive double the pain. Annoying. Okay. 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25!' Seeing that the box was not going to resist the bullets for much longer, I used Soru to close the distance as much as possible.

Suddenly, I was hit in my leg. It seems that Franklin Managed to shoot my left leg.

'Damnit! It hurts like hell! But I have to continue, if I stand still, I'll die!' I gritted my teeth and used my staff to defend as much of the bullets as possible. 'At this moment, I have a bullet stuck deeply on my shoulder

and one on my leg. I'm feeling quite nauseated from the blood loss. I need to end this fast.' I thought before I finally managed to close the distance.

Now I was standing right in front of Franklin. Another thing that happened, was that the number on the bird's belly changed from 2x to 4x. This made me smile as I punched his stomach. Since my strength was 4x, my hand went deeper than it normally would, it went through his muscles like it was butter.

He coughed a few liters of blood. "H-how?" He asked.

"Shigan." I ignored his question.

Sensing impending doom, he stepped back but I jumped and punched him in the head.

*Crack*.

With my technique, I felt his neck and entire rib cage break. 'There's no way that he is alive after this.' I thought.

But his body ended up falling on top of me. "Fuck off!" I said said as I punched the corpse, sending him flying across the room and breaking a few walls.

His body ended up breaking more than 4 walls before finally stopping. Seeing this, I turned around and headed towards the exit before falling on one knee. "Tch. This ability is still exhausting, both physically and mentally." I commented. "A pity, but I don't have time to rest. I need to make sure that Kurapika left with Chrollo. Our highest priority is to make sure that Chrollo is secured. Oemitsu imprinted that in our heads, after all." I got up and left.

(Oemitsu POV)

I looked at my opponents before I analyzed the situation. 'Hmm. It looks like Hisoka is going to be able to hold on for much longer. I hope that he can hold it in for a little longer, or else, fighting a maddened Hisoka and 2 other Phantom Troupe members will be a pain in the ass. Tch. I don't like these odds.' I slightly shaked my head. "It is time for Phase 2." I said.

At this moment, my watch went off and the lights returned. At this moment, I immediately dashed and punched Phinks, sending him flying. 'I'll not allow him to charge up his Cycloton again.' As my mind was focused on Phinks, I suddenly felt Nobunaga's blade coming from behind me.

So I jumped to dodge it and met with Hisoka's cards while I was in the air. Seeing no other option, I grabbed the cards and threw them at Nobunaga, to which he sliced all of them.

"Hell Hounds, play with them!" I pointed at Hisoka and Nobunaga's direction. 'I want to keep them busy while I deal with Phinks. A pity that the Hell Hounds are pretty taxing to use.'

The hounds, following my orders, dashed towards them. So I turned to Phinks and saw him disappear. At this moment, my eyes immediately turned to the left and saw his fist coming at my face. Lifting my hand, I grabbed his incoming hand and countered with a punch aimed at his face but he blocked it and we began to trade blow after blow.

But as the close combat goes on, my disadvantage is getting clearer and clearer. While I'm not an expert at close combat, Phinks, on the other hand, relies heavily on it.

After having one of my blows blocked, I got punched in the face but immediately kicked him. Both of us took damage, however, I took way more than him. 'Tch. My body is more fragile than Phink's!' I gritted my teeth.

(You body is the same as a glass cannon. While you do a lot of damage, you also take a lot of it. If you keep trading blows like that with him, you will lose.) Nyarlathotep said.

'I know that. However, every single time I wants to gain some distance, he always gets near!' After that, every attack of his, I either blocked or dodged as much as possible while trying to find anything that would get me out of this situation.

At this moment, I saw Phinks overextending his arm to punch me, so I took this opportunity to kick him in the chin and sent him flying back. When I looked at my left, I saw that Hisoka and Nobunaga were still busy with the Hell Hounds, before turning to Phinks and seeing that he was mostly unharmed by my kick.

'Hmm. This will be a rather troublesome fight. At least, my objective is accomplished, however, leaving this building will be easier said than done.' After I analyzed my situation, I turned my attention to Phinks, when suddenly.

"Nen Threads." I heard this.

I opened my eyes widely and immediately placed my arm in front of my neck. Stopping a wire from chocking me to death. "It has been a long time, Machi. You shouldn't try to sneak attack with all that bloodlust flowing from you. I can feel you from a mile away." I looked at the door and saw my cute little toy, Machi.
