Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 233 The real intention

Using Starburst Condensation means that one will be in constant danger.

However, by implanting the star onto one of the headless corpses and then destroying it, the star can be transferred to either Kubi or Amanda.

Once the star transfer is successful, it can bypass Kuroro's surveillance and directly dismantle the swarm tactic.

However, when Moro activated his Starburst Condensation ability, not to mention the potential information overload from the numerous headless corpses...

The greatest threat is Kuroro's Nen ability, which allows him to forcibly move others.

This is the risk that Moro needs to take.

The slightest carelessness could result in death or serious injury.

In such a situation, being injured is practically the same as being dead.

It just means you'll die a little slower.

Similarly, not taking the risk now is no different from a slow death.

but……

You could try feinting first.

If Kuroro uses his ability to forcibly move others, and if you can defend against it, you might get a chance to directly attack Kubi or Amanda.

Moro's gaze swept quickly over the back of the numerous headless corpses.

Moro found Kuroro's strategy of relying on sheer numbers and waiting for the right moment to strike difficult, but he was helpless to do anything about it.

If the ability to "teleport" had been successfully developed before...

No if.

Moro took a deep breath, expending another wave of potential energy, and used the Splitting Star to blast away a large row of headless corpses in front of him.

But this time, he deliberately sent over several headless corpses.

"Starlight Convergence"

The energy shattered into dazzling starlight, enveloping the headless corpses in front of them.

But the instant Moro used his Starburst Condensation, Chrollo, behind the army of headless corpses, had already flipped through Thief's Secrets to the page that recorded the ability "Empathy".

Swish!
Ability activated.

The scene before Moro's eyes suddenly changed.

Throughout the entire process, I did not experience any unusual sensations.

However, having learned from his previous experience, Morrow immediately cut off the external display of energy used to maintain the starlight condensation ability the moment his vision shifted.

In a battle where the enemy is outnumbered, the act of voluntarily sacrificing a portion of one's Nen energy can be considered quite extravagant.

But for Moro at this moment, this was a necessary choice.

When Moro severed the power of the condensed starlight, all that came into view were headless corpses controlled by the power, rushing towards him from all sides like a horde of zombies.

Clearly, Kuroro forcibly moved him to the middle of the army of headless corpses.

In this situation, if Moro had been even a fraction slower in severing his abilities, his mind would have been instantly flooded with information from the army of headless corpses.

"The fact that he decisively used this ability to forcibly move others only when he saw an opportunity shows that Kuroro really can't use this ability continuously, otherwise he wouldn't have waited until now to confirm this..."

Surrounded by an impenetrable army of headless corpses, Moro did not hesitate. He suddenly unleashed a burst of energy from his feet, propelling his body into the air like a rocket.

Such a move may break free from encirclement, but it also makes one an easy target.

As Moro shot into the air, the headless corpses that came from all directions below missed their target and ended up piling up in a heap.

But the next moment,
The headless corpses, seemingly under Amanda's control, somehow managed to form a human ladder that stretched towards the sky.

Moro glanced down and his pupils constricted slightly.

He saw that the stacked human ladder was actually formed by directly fusing the flesh into one, making the human ladder extremely efficient.

"It can even directly modify the controlled corpse... and it doesn't look like an automatic control type, but rather a mind control type."

Moro quickly withdrew his gaze, no longer caring about the threat from the human ladder, and turned to look at Kubi and Amanda on the ground in the distance, gathering a ball of fluorescent green Nen energy in his palm.

But he did not launch the completed deception star at Kubi and Amanda in the distance.

With a distance of over 100 meters and Kuroro lurking nearby, it's practically impossible to inflict direct damage on Kubi and Amanda.

This flying star can only be used to probe for intelligence.

Moro immediately tossed the deceptive flying star behind him.

As long as he is not hindered, he can use the deceptive return of the flying star to escape from here.

With such an obvious intention, it remains to be seen how Kuroro will react. If he forcibly moves him downwards again, it means that this ability to force displacement can be used continuously.

Conversely, if Kuroro uses other methods to keep him here, it means that this ability cannot be used continuously and is very likely subject to constraints such as "cooldown time".

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Moro's eyes narrowed slightly.

Kuroro, hidden among the army of headless corpses, suddenly threw the bodies over with his bare hands.

With the enhancement of his Nen, the corpses he threw flew like cannonballs, carrying immense power.

As the headless corpse flew straight towards him, Moro instantly confirmed that Kuroro could no longer use his displacement ability continuously.

At this moment, he was in the air with nowhere to gain leverage, so he could only use the air jets from his feet to forcibly move a distance, thus avoiding the headless corpse that Kuroro had thrown at him.

But just as Moro dodged, another headless corpse flew in with pinpoint accuracy and slammed heavily into him.

There was a bang.

Moro was knocked off his balance by the corpse.

Then came the second body, the third body...

Although Moro could completely negate the damage from the impact of the corpses with his Nen defense, being in the air, he could only be spun around by the corpses.

At the same time, the deceptive flying star that had just been launched returned and flew back towards him.

"Even after all this, they're still resorting to 'interference' tactics without any intention of striking at the heart of the matter... Are they trying to slowly wear me down, or do they not want to give me the slightest chance?"

The world spun before his eyes, but Moro remained calm and composed.

Two tentative probes...

At least one capability has been confirmed.

Upon reaching this point, while his body was suspended upside down, Moro suddenly unleashed a surge of Nen energy from the soles of his feet, propelling his body directly downwards towards the human ladder below.

at the same time.

The deceptive flying star returned.

Moro stretched out his hands, as if accepting salvation, and directly grasped the many arms that extended from the human body like anemone tentacles.

After grabbing one of the arms, Moro twisted his waist to straighten the body, then suddenly used his right hand to rip off the corpse's arm, freeing his right hand.

At this moment, Fei Xing had already arrived in front of Moro.

However, Moro remained calm under pressure, forcefully swinging his right hand and striking the flying star with the ring tattoo on the back of his hand.

Snapped!
With a crisp sound, the flying star was slammed directly towards Kubi and Amanda in the distance, piercing the sun and leaving a dazzling trail as it descended diagonally through the air.

Behind the army of headless corpses.

Kuroro's expression changed, and suddenly his leg strength exploded. In a flash, he landed on the trajectory of the flying star a step ahead of time.

The thief in his hand deliberately froze on one of the pages.

The photo on the page is of a bald man wearing a sailor uniform, with a thick beard and long eyelashes.

The text description on the same page shows the ability's name as: Sweetheart Guardian.

Kuroro stretched out his left hand, and with a surge of Nen, a three-dimensional pink heart materialized, about the size of a manhole cover.

But upon closer inspection, the heart shape is actually a shield.

Kuroro raised his Guardian Shield and caught the meteor-like flying star.

boom!
The flying star unleashed astonishing energy the moment it touched the shield, and the violent shockwave cracked the surrounding concrete.

The heart-shaped shield in Kuroro's hand shattered instantly, turning into countless pink heart-shaped points of light that scattered and disappeared.

His body was pushed backward by the force, his feet leaving two long tracks on the ground.

at the same time.

Moro used brute force to tear apart the many deformed limbs around him, then jumped back to the ground and headed straight for the headless corpses on the outer perimeter.

With Kuroro around, he no longer expected to break through the army of headless corpses, so his goal was clear—

That is, under the premise of ensuring their own safety, they implant the "star" onto the headless corpse.

That was his true intention.

right now,

This is an opportunity!
