38 Chapter 38 Deathly Stab
"Leave me alone!"
Hawk made a decision at this moment.
"Moses, don't come any closer!"
Hawk shouted hoarsely, and a large amount of blood dripped from the corners of his mouth.
He was very aware of Genbu's close combat prowess, and he also realized that his heavily injured and collapsed state would force Moses into close combat with Genbu.
In this case, Moses, as an Emitter, would be at disadvantage.
It is precisely because he knew this that Hawk anxiously wanted Moses to leave him alone.
"…"
Hearing Hawk's hoarse shout, Moses remained silent and gave Hawk a sharp look.
He hoped to convey a message to Hawk with this brief eye contact.
Immediately, Moses stepped in front of Hawk faster than Genbu, inevitably exposing himself to Genbu's attack range.
Emitter should avoid close combat as much as possible to maintain their advantage, this is common knowledge.
Of course, the most important thing is that the brat in front of Genbu is standing in front of Hawk.
That means that from this moment on, this kid has the restriction of cannot retreat.
Genbu's expression turned cold. He mobilized his Aura, and threw a punch at Moses.
"…"
Moses's eyes were solemn as he prepared to block Genbu's attack.
However, at the next moment…
Moses suddenly crouched down.
"Huh?"
As Moses crouched down, Genbu's eyes reflected the scene of Hawk concentrating his Aura in his right palm.
Whoosh!
The light bullet condensed with Nen shot out from Hawk's palm, passing over Moses's head in an instant and headed straight towards Genbu's face.
Genbu's pupils contracted sharply. He hastily stopped his attack, turned his fist into a palm, and narrowly used the back of his palm to deflect the Nen bullet shot by Hawk from hitting his face.
At the same time…
Moses tried his best to direct the Aura from his legs to the soles of his feet.
The dramatic improvement in his proficiency in the Four Fundamental Techniques allowed him to realize his thoughts and use Ko that he had not mastered before.
The soles of his feet, in which his Aura is gathered, kicked fiercely towards Genbu's lower body.
At this moment—
Even though Genbu mobilized most of his Aura to repel Hawk's Nen bullet, at least 30% of his Aura was still distributed in other parts of his body.
Facing Moses's fierce kick to his lower body, Genbu, who is in high concentration, reacted in time.
He lowered his left hand, and accurately gripping the sole of Moses's incoming foot.
First, his right hand turned into a palm to repel Hawk's Nen bullet. Then, he used his left hand to capture Moses while blocking the kick.
The entire response process can be said to be completed seamlessly.
'I almost fell for their trick...'
Such a thought passed through Genbu's mind at this moment, and he was about to slap Moses into the ground.
However, at that moment…
The shadow, that Moses had released earlier, suddenly rose from the ground. While holding Cole's dropped dagger in its palm, it stabbed directly at Genbu's crotch.
At this moment, Genbu had focused all his attention on the joint attack of Moses and Hawk, so there is only a thin layer of Aura distributed on his lower region.
Splurt!
The dagger penetrated Genbu's crotch unimpeded, and immediately, the blade flipped sharply.
In an instant, blood splattered!
"Arrgggh!"
The sudden intense pain made the veins in Genbu's neck bulge, and he let out a miserable scream.
"Arrrggggghhhhhh!!!"
Roaring wildly, Genbu twisted his waist and slammed Moses into the shadow figure who attacked him.
Moses endured the pain from his ankle and, in his consciousness, controlled the shadow figure to release the dagger and return to normal state, lying on the ground.
Whoosh—!
With the sharp whistling sound, Moses was swung like a club by Genbu in a half circle.
In this brief clash, in an effort to help Moses, Hawk created another Nen bullet and shot it towards Genbu's back despite his dizziness.
Boom!
The Nen bullet exploded.
Genbu grunted, and at the same time, he was knocked away by the impact and released his grip on Moses's feet.
Without Genbu's control, Moses was sent flying and crashed heavily into the ground, leaving a trench on the surface.
"Cough, cough…"
Moses lay on the ground, spat out a few mouthfuls of blood into the trench, and then looked at Genbu, who had a bloodied dagger sticking out of his butt.
His previous strike targeted Genbu's crotch…
It's not because Moses enjoyed such thing, but because the crotch is one of the few areas where an attack could directly reach the internal organs.
That stab just now—
It should have directly pierced through Genbu's rectum, and then tore a hole in the colon.
Moreover, the blade was flipped sharply afterward, likely causing a severe internal bleeding.
This is also the key condition for Moses to win against Genbu after using all his trump cards.
"Smelly brat…"
Genbu barely steadied himself. Enduring the intense pain, he pulled the bloodied dagger out of his butt.
The tearing pain made him grunt a few times.
"How dare you…"
Genbu, gripping the dagger that was still dripping with blood, looked at Moses with a ferocious expression.
A tyrannical killing intent manifested through his Aura.
Moses will naturally not be affected by the killing intent, and is pleased instead to see Genbu losing his mind.
After a quick glance at Cheadle's side, where the situation had not progressed, his heart sank slightly, and he immediately moved to Hawk's side.
"What's going on with Cheadle?"
"Cough, cough…"
Hawk coughed a few times, looked at Moses with a gaze mixed with pride and relief, and then explained: "You might find it strange, but it's normal. Cough... Cheadle's talent is very outstanding, but she didn't use these talents for combat."
"No wonder."
Moses instantly understood the reason.
He could clearly see that Cheadle could calmly deal with the joint attack of the two enemies. In theory, she should gradually gain the advantage and then turn the situation around.
But now, after he has already dealt with one enemy and severely damaged another with Hawk, there is still no progress on Cheadle's side.
'It turned out she's a non-combat-type Nen user...'
After understanding this, Moses felt very uneasy.
He has no hidden trump card anymore. Even if he managed to deal with Genbu, as long as Cheadle cannot definitely threaten the other two Nen users…
Then, with his current state, not to mention protecting Hawk, even protecting himself is a problem.
"The situation is still very bad..."
Moses sighed.
If he decisively left Hawk now, he could escape from danger. However, some things-
Can't be done.
"Hawk, can you hold on?"
Moses stared at Genbu closely, thinking about his next move.
Fortunately, Perception has improved his proficiency in the Four Fundamental techniques, giving him more adequate response capabilities.
"Moses."
Hawk looked at Moses's back, his chest heaving.
"Hmm?"
Moses responded, but did not look back.
Hawk's eyes revealed determination, and while gasping for breath, he forcefully said:
"I... won't be as hesitant as Cheadle. Moses, I... won't let anything happen to you no matter what... If it's now... you don't have to worry about the cost anymore... Moses, you must live well."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Moses's expression changed.
On the other side.
Cheadle naturally noticed the situation on Moses's side.
While she was surprised, she was also anxious.
Faced with the two Heavenly Stem members of Seirin Group, she really lacked the lethality to end the fight.
