40 Chapter 40 Unsatisfactory

It is not uncommon for kids to understand about Nen.

However, finding a kid whose abilities were well-suited for combat and possessed exceptional overall combat strength was particularly rare.

This was common knowledge among experienced Nen users.

Moreover, Cole was beheaded by this kid.

So from the beginning—

Genbu has never underestimated Moses.

Even so, he suffered a major setback under the joint attack of the three.

Now, as he launched another assault on Moses, despite his intense anger, Genbu is still very focused.

His eyes were fixed on Moses, and at the same time, he did not neglect Hawk's presence and the Nen ability that seemed like a shadow.

In the previous exchange, if it weren't for Hawk's two Nen bullets, he could have defended against the shadow attack and directly dealt with Moses at the same time.

Now, he only needs to take into account the various factors, including the black Nen arrow, and then close the distance!

'You won't get a second chance!!'

With this thought in mind, Genbu only had Moses and Hawk in his eyes.

He wants to get rid of these two opponents in one go in his next attack.

"Chirp."

Then-

He suddenly heard this sweet and lovely voice ringing in his ears.

Before he could react, he felt a chill on his neck. His whole body seemed to fly into the air, and his vision suddenly spun around.

'What... happened to me…?!'

Feeling himself ascend into the air, Genbu looked bewildered.

As his vision spun, he suddenly saw his body frozen in place in a fast running posture, and he could also see that his body was covered with glowing red arrow markings.

'That is…'

Genbu, in his puzzled state, tried to see more clearly, but the ensuing darkness engulfed his consciousness.

Thud.

A huge human head fell to the ground at this moment.

Genbu clearly had considered all the factors he needed to be wary of, yet he met his demise under the sudden emergence of an alternative ability.

It could be described as tragic.

"Chirp, Chirp…"

Rat Jewel took small, silent steps and came to Genbu's severed head.

Even though it was exhausted, Rat Jewel tilted its head and examined the head.

After a moment of contemplation, it picked up the head and walked toward Hawk, who was leaning against the tree, with joyful steps.

"Chirp!"

Arriving in front of Hawk, Rat Jewel lifted the head like a treasure. And the Aura ball at the tip of its tail showed an excited expression.

"Ah, and also..."

Upon seeing this, Hawk raised his blood-soaked left hand, gently stroked Rat Jewel's head, and said softly: "I'm sorry, Rat Jewel. It's been so long since I took you on a 'treasure hunt'. You must have been very bored, right?"

"Chirp!"

Rat Jewel raised the head again, its tail swaying back and forth.

Hawk smiled helplessly and reached out to take the head.

Seeing Hawk take the head, Rat Jewel bounced around happily on the spot, and its short feet made no sound when landing on the ground.

At this moment, it was genuinely exhausted.

But since it no longer has to worry about suppressing the Post-Mortem Nen, it feels relaxed.

Moses looked at Hawk and Rat Jewel from the side with a solemn expression.

"Hawk, what do you mean?"

From the moment Rat Jewel appeared, and attacked and killed Genbu, Moses understood the meaning behind Hawk's previous words.

"I can't control that much anymore."

Hawk slowly met Moses's gaze, and his tone was very light but full of determination: "Moses, for me, you living well is more important than anything else... cough, cough."

As he spoke, Hawk started to cough violently, and fresh blood gushed out from his mouth.

He was seriously injured…

After barely stopped coughing, Hawk whispered:

"Listen, Moses... later, I will ask Rat Jewel to open a passage for you to leave. Because I don't have much Aura left, the passage can only last three seconds at most. The distance is also very limited... But it's enough to send you two away..."

"Hawk."

Moses looked at Hawk and said with serious tone: "Don't make decisions on your own. If you want me to leave, we have to leave together."

"Ah, you brat... You are born to be as smart as your mother, so don't act stupid at times like this. These words of mine are my last words."

Hawk smiled, revealing a mouthful of blood-stained teeth, with a relaxed expression on his face.

"…"

Moses tightly pursed his lips.

That's right.

There is no other way.

But he still harbors a glimmer of hope.

"Rat Jewel…"

Mid-sentence, Moses suddenly felt a surging and powerful aura, and his body instantly tensed up.

He immediately looked towards Cheadle, only to see Sivir, who was enveloped in a surging Aura, rushing towards them.

'With the current situation, I can't stop her...'

Moses's expression changed.

With his current physique, if he were casually touched by that level of Enhancer's Aura, even if he is not dead, he will probably be disabled on the spot.

Hawk also saw Sivir's astonishing aura.

"Elena… the 'Nen Space' you left behind should be able to protect our son one more time…"

Determination slowly emerged in Hawk's eyes, and there was no room for anything else.

'I can't stop her!'

Cheadle's expression changed drastically.

The increased manifested Aura provided Sivir with even greater explosive power. This resulted in Cheadle not having time to stop Sivir, and could only watch as Sivir rushed towards Moses and Hawk.

"There is finally a qualified flaw, Dog of Zodiacs."

Ken took a step forward and, at this moment, slashed the fastest and strongest attack he could muster towards Cheadle.

Seeing this, Cheadle's pupils shrank sharply.

Because Ken's previous attacking style was too insidious and vicious, Cheadle always maintained a high level of vigilance against Ken and anticipated the hidden tricks that Ken might use.

Although the slash this moment was stronger than any previous one, Cheadle was mentally prepared, so she still managed to jump backwards at the last moment, dodging the slash.

However-

After Ken's attack missed, he unexpectedly let go of his sword, allowing the sword to fly towards Cheadle.

If a strike fails, abandon the weapon and attack again.

In the battles between Nen users, although this method is not common, it is not unheard of either.

Moreover, with Cheadle's heightened insight, she could still react in time. By moving her body slightly sideways, she avoided the flying sword.

"Marvelous."

Ken smiled, raised his arm, and the Nen wrapped around him underwent a qualitative change, extending into the form of a blade.

When the thrown sword passed in front of Cheadle, Ken used his palm as a blade and slashed through Cheadle's body.

Splurt!

Blood splattered!

Cheadle grunted, immediately retreating and creating distance, leaving behind a trail of blood on the ground.

"Sigh."

Ken stopped where he was, looked down at the sharp extended Aura blade on his palm, and then looked at Cheadle, who had a wound from the Aura blade. He couldn't help but sighed: "As expected of the member of Zodiacs."

This was his second sigh.

So many preparation, so many supporting factors.

All were made for this lethal strike, but at the last moment, Cheadle still managed to dodge the fatal blow.

"How did you notice it?"

Ken looked at Cheadle and asked with a smile.

Cheadle's face was slightly pale, and she said slowly: "Your phrase of 'We are both Enhancers' was too deliberate."

"I see."

Ken's smile grew wider.

"Although the result is not perfect, it is still enough. It seems that the Zodiacs may lose one of their members today."
