Chapter 75 Combat
It seems that this time it is Eligi's true form that is fighting.
When Phinks saw that Uvogin's legs had disappeared, he immediately came up and pulled Uvogin back, his eyes fixed on Uvogin's legs.
It disappeared completely below the knee, but strangely, there was no bleeding from the cut.
This situation seems very strange to those who see it.
"Damn it, don't do anything, I'm going to kill that guy!" Uvogin said defiantly even without legs.
But Phinks, as an ally, couldn't simply ignore Uvogin and let the enemy come.
"The ability to materialize, huh? Where did you put Uvogin's leg?" Phinks questioned.
As mentioned before, the Nen ability "emission" is divided into six systems, which are clockwise as follows: Enhancement, Transmutation, Conjuration, Specialization, Manipulation, and Emission.
Those with spatial abilities are Nen users of the Emission and Conjuration types.
The spatial abilities of the Emission type are mostly mobile.
The spatial capabilities of the materialization system are fixed.
Therefore, after seeing the condition of Uvogin's legs, Phinks deduced that Eligi had used some kind of spatial ability to move Uvogin's legs to another location.
Indeed, that's true; Eligi developed Dust Release in a somewhat distorted way.
Dust Release was originally the most powerful offensive ninjutsu, capable of even disintegrating the Susanoo of the Uchiha clan.
However, Eligi developed Dust Release into a spatial ability and succeeded easily, which made him unstoppable.
Eligi's Dust Release is somewhat similar to the cutting ability of the Op-Op Fruit, but it lacks the displacement ability of the Op-Op Fruit.
Displacement ability is an emission-type ability, separated from Eligi's trait-type ability by a manipulation type.
If Elligie really wants to develop displacement, it will take much longer.
But Conjuration is right next to Specialization, which is probably why Eligi was able to develop similar abilities so easily.
"Didn't you see? His legs have turned into molecules and disappeared. This is punishment for your impolite behavior." Seeing the furious look on the other side, Ailiji smiled.
"This joke is not funny at all. I suggest you get Uvogin's leg back." Phinks' expression turned serious, and his Nen became more active.
Eligi found it amusing: "We're all from Meteor City, have you forgotten our Meteor City motto?"
"Then it seems we have no choice but to take action. Maggie, you watch over Uvogin. Shalnark, I'll handle the three in front, and you take care of the two behind." Phinks wasn't the type to waste words.
After hearing this, the swordsman looked at Sasuke and Kakuzu in the distance, already planning which one to control first.
The swordsman is a manipulator; he can control an enemy with his phone by inserting a bat antenna with Nen abilities into the enemy's body.
There are no requirements regarding the location where the antenna is inserted; you can control the enemy even if you insert the antenna into their thigh.
As long as that person doesn't pull the antenna off, they will remain under control.
However, even a knight-errant cannot control one person indefinitely, as there is a limit to the number of people he can control, and he seems to only have one or two antennae on his body.
This Nen ability is called "Manipulating the Fate of Others".
The swordsman jumped in front of Sasuke and Kakuzu, and the two began to talk.
"Are you the one going to go or am I?" Sasuke clearly had no interest in the enemy.
Kakuzu, on the other hand, was flipping through the bounty lists in his hand. Unfortunately, the Phantom Troupe's information security level was a bit too high, and it would take a certain price to obtain these people's bounty lists.
Otherwise, Kurapika wouldn't need to take the Hunter Exam and obtain a Hunter License to find Phantom Troupe members.
The reason it can't be found through normal channels is probably because the guide has encrypted the information of the group members, since the guide also has a hunter's license.
Therefore, it's perfectly normal that Jiao didn't find the wanted poster for the swordsman in front of him.
"A Class A wanted criminal like you must have a hefty bounty on your head." Kakuzu put away the bounty poster, preparing to take action himself.
Upon seeing this, the swordsman felt a strange sense of familiarity for some reason.
By the way, the Phantom Troupe prefers one-on-one combat when dealing with enemies, which is why this scene feels somewhat familiar.
"Hehehe, it really feels familiar, but it's good this way." The swordsman hid the antenna in his hand, ready to secretly insert it into the opponent's body during the battle.
Kakuzu vanished from his spot in a flash, only to reappear in front of the swordsman in the next instant.
Seeing how fast Kakuzu was, Shoji was quite surprised. It seemed that not only was Kakuzu's Nen profound, but his speed was also extremely fast.
The swordsman crossed his arms in front of his chest to block a punch, and was even more surprised by the force of the blow: "This strength would rank in the top five even within the Phantom Troupe. Is the opponent an Enhancement-type or Transmutation-type Nen user?"
The reason why the knight didn't guess that Kakuzu was an Emission type Nen user is because Emission type Nen users still have very obvious characteristics.
That means they are skilled in attacks such as using spirit beasts, spatial displacement, and spirit blasts.
The common characteristic of this type of attack is that it is a medium- to long-range attack, and they rarely take the initiative to get close to the enemy for close combat.
Only Enhancement and Alteration types enjoy close-quarters combat with enemies.
That's why the author analyzed that Kakuzu might be a Transmutation or Enhancement user.
However, this is just right, as the manipulation type is somewhat effective against the enhancement type.
"Bang, bang, bang bang bang—"
After a few brief exchanges, the swordsman found himself at a disadvantage. He suddenly realized that his physical skills might not be as good as his opponent's.
"Wasn't it said that the other party simply gained powerful strength? Now it seems that it's not that simple." The swordsman was somewhat distressed.
It is quite difficult to insert a Nen needle into the body of a martial arts master.
"Kid, you must have climbed your way up from the bottom, right? Your physical skills are completely unsystematic, you're really terrible." Kakuzu even had the leisure to make a comment.
"Hehe, thank you for your compliment." The swordsman said with a friendly smile.
They don't look like members of a ruthless, bloodthirsty guild at all.
The heroes are all parrying Kakuzu's attacks, but so far they have not been defeated.
The knight-errant also failed to find a good opportunity to insert the antenna into Kakuzu's body.
However, what made the knight most uncomfortable was that Sasuke was staring at him the whole time.
Although Sasuke just said he wouldn't make a move, if the other party sees him with the antenna plugged in, he will definitely take action.
If the antenna is destroyed, the controlled person will regain their freedom, which is not the outcome the knight-errant desires.
So the knight quickly came up with a plan. He jumped back twice to dodge Kakuzu's attack, and then "whoosh" rushed into the stairwell, seemingly trying to pull Kakuzu into a battlefield that would be advantageous to him.
Moreover, once inside the building, controlling Kakuzu could catch Sasuke off guard, which is a good plan.
Seeing the swordsman hide in the stairwell, Kakuzu thought for a moment and then followed him in.
