Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 239 Release-type Combo Attacks
Memories in somber tones.

Thunder roared and torrential rain poured down.

In the rain, two figures stopped and looked back.

Those were Morrow and Kurt.

"Follow me."

Moro extended his hand.

The hand gradually emitted a soft glow, dispelling the rain-blurred vision.

In the dimly lit living room.

The tightly closed door was like a cold wall, refusing entry to outsiders.

But as the door opened, warm light flooded out like a tide.

Kurt held a sugar cookie decorated with pale green icing in his hands, while Morrow leaned against the open doorway, a smile on his face.

These are fragments of Kurapika's memories.

While healing Moro's injuries with his post-mortem thoughts, he was thus absorbed into Moro's consciousness.

Moro lowered his eyelids, his gaze falling on the back of his hand.

The energy ring of the third growth ring remains unchanged, without any increase.

Because Kurapika's Death Will exists solely to heal his injuries.

Unlike other death thoughts, it cannot be anchored to reality and thus continue to exist for a long time.

Therefore, after fulfilling their last wishes, they will quietly disappear like morning mist...

Moro slowly clenched his right hand, took a deep breath, and the restless psychic energy around him gradually calmed down.

We can't let our emotions affect the battle ahead...

Even sadness is not an option.

Now, there are two spiders left.

He had to finish the job quickly, ideally before Illumi returned.

In this way, without an employer, Illumi would have no reason to attack him again.

The reason I specifically asked Illumi if he had accepted Chrollo's request was to confirm this information.

Of course, the possibility that Illumi might do something reckless cannot be ruled out.

After all, this guy always acts recklessly, and even without a legitimate reason like a "commission," he might act based on his own whims.

If we have to deal with Illumi later, the remaining potential energy will definitely not be enough.

The worst-case scenario is that Illumi arrives at the scene before he can kill Chrollo.

That would mean he would have to face Chrollo, Illumi, and Uvogin all by himself.

As his thoughts raced, a cold glint flashed in Moro's eyes, and a portion of the Nen energy flowing around him quickly gathered at his feet.

Bang!
Moro pushed off the ground with both feet, and his whole body shot into the air like a rocket.

Immediately afterwards, the energy in his right hand suddenly sharpened, condensing into a fluorescent green flying star at an extremely fast speed.

This action was exactly what he initially intended to do by using the flying star to escape from the battle.

In terms of the entire operation, he needs to use the technique of emission to explode in the air, and after several times, he can raise his body to a height of 100 meters.

At the same time, a deceptive flying star that will bounce back will be fired downwards.

Such a complicated operating procedure only yields unexpected results on the first use.

After all, the intention was too obvious.

Once the enemy sees this, they will definitely react immediately and intercept us at the first opportunity.

So from all perspectives, using this trick again in front of Uvogin and Chrollo is practically the same as making oneself a sitting duck.

But Moro's deliberate behavior now is certainly not for the purpose of escaping.

At this moment.

Uvogin exuded an aura of extreme rage.

The successive deaths of his companions extinguished what little sanity he had left.

So he rudely dismissed the phenomenon of "healing Moro with the thought of death," and the only thought in his mind was to smash Moro into a pulp in his field of vision.

Therefore, no matter the cost, he could not let Moro escape.

Bang!
As Moro's feet exploded and he soared into the air, Uvogin also stomped off the ground, his entire body enveloped in a surging aura, transforming into a streak of red light that shot towards Moro in mid-air.

At this point, Moro had not yet performed his second burst of energy, and was only a few tens of meters above the ground.

There's no need to use explosive power to take off anymore.

Because his real intention was not to escape.

Instead, they intended to use the illusion of "escape" to lure Uvogin over.

Moro was certain that Uvogin, driven by rage, would do just that.

"Fraudulent Flying Star"

Morrow looked down at Uvogin, who was chasing him from above, and fired the fluorescent green star he had formed in his hand at Uvogin like a bullet.

A glint of green light flashed in Uvogin's pupils, but he showed no intention of dodging.

He has become almost insane.

He actually wanted to use his body, which was shrouded in a violent aura, to directly smash the oncoming flying star.

Moro understood why Uvogin was acting so impulsively.

It's simply because I'm worried he'll escape by stepping on the flying star.

Therefore, even the slightest possibility is unacceptable to Uvogin.

The development of the situation, the changes in sentiment...

These things can reveal valuable information during battle.

Uvogin, a Enhancer-type, is simply... for Moro.

Very easy to understand.

boom!
The moment the flying star touched Uvogin, it caused a violent explosion.

However, Uvogin, still brimming with an aura amplified by his anger, pierced through the airwaves like a red arrow, relentlessly continuing his charge towards Morrow.

Moro had anticipated this, and suddenly flipped his body in mid-air, gathering his energy at the soles of his feet while suspended upside down.

Bang!
A popping sound rang out.

Using the recoil, Moro's body plummeted towards the ground, while his right hand drew the scabbard of the Abyss from his waist and poured a surge of psychic power into it.

At this moment,

Uvogin chased after him from below, while Morrow plummeted downwards.

Two figures passed each other in the air.

Uvogin's outstretched hand ultimately failed to grasp Moro's body.

However, Moro's inverted body falling to the ground also meant that he could no longer use the trick of stepping on flying stars to escape.

At least in Uvogin's view, it was he who thwarted Morrow's intentions.

But Moro's response was—

Suddenly, the Sheath of the Deeper Abyss unleashed a blinding energy wave that tore through the sky like a sharp blade, striking Uvogin's body precisely below!

With nothing to hold onto while he was in mid-air, the blow sent him flying even higher.

at the same time.

The propulsive force generated by the energy waves emitted by the Abyss Sheath propelled Moro to the ground even faster.

Boom.

Just before landing, Moro straightened his body and stomped heavily on the concrete.

In an instant, fragments flew everywhere, and smoke and dust surged up.

Moro's figure shot out from the smoke and dust, heading straight for Chrollo.

Click.

He inserted the hilt of Nobunaga's long sword into the sheath of the deep pool, and then used the suction force of the sheath to fix the long sword in place.

In this way, it became an oddly shaped eyebrow razor.

Moro gripped the Eyebrow Blade in his right hand and conjured a Deception Star in his left, shooting it towards Chrollo.

Swish!
The fluorescent green star flew straight towards Kuroro.

"Sweetheart Guardian"

Kuroro conjured a heart-shaped shield in his hand, placing it across the trajectory of the flying star. He knew that the deceptive flying star's return mechanism would amplify its power.

Therefore, directly using defensive abilities to intercept the deceptive flying stars would be a safer approach.

A fluorescent green star streaked across the sky and struck the heart-shaped shield.

However, it collapsed the moment it touched the shield, only creating a gust of air and doing nothing else.

A flying star that doesn't return has limited power.

The main reason is that Moro's Starfall was essentially instantaneous and didn't have much power in it.

He doesn't have much pent-up energy left.

Offensive emission systems are always the most energy-consuming, unlike conjuration or manipulation systems which can recover emitted Nen by canceling abilities.

Every time a flying star is fired, it represents a real drain on resources.

Using the attack of this flying star, Moro quickly closed the distance between himself and Chrollo.

He immediately swung the oddly shaped eyebrow-shaped dagger in his hand, using its length advantage to make up for the last bit of distance, and with a sharp flash of light, slashed towards Kuroro's body.

Kuroro's eyes were cold, and the heart-shaped shield on his left hand had disappeared.

This is because of the ability mechanism of Sweetheart Guardians. After resisting damage once, regardless of the state of the heart shield, it must be "re-manifested" once in order to restore its powerful defense.

Instead of re-manifesting, Chrollo chose to directly cancel the Guardian Chara ability and reclaim the materialized Nen. Now, facing Moro's slash, without the Heart Shield, he immediately and nimbly spun around.

A sharp, piercing sound rang out.

Moro's strike missed its mark.

After dodging the incoming blade, Kuroro pushed off the ground with his toes and instead of retreating, advanced directly towards Moro.

Despite the danger, Moro remained calm, and the psychic energy surrounding him shattered into starlight, enveloping the two of them.

Faced with Moro's ability to gather starlight, Chrollo did not hold back. He stopped turning the page on his right hand and selected one of the abilities.

wow-

But just then, the sound of chains swinging suddenly rang out.

However, Moro gripped the sheath of the Abyss with both hands and, through the release of a small amount of Nen, pushed Nobunaga's sword forward.

Because very little Nen was injected into it, the chain connecting the hilt remained held in place by the scabbard even after the entire sword was pushed out of its sheath.

Thus, a chain was connected between the scabbard and the longsword, which not only extended the length of the blade but also changed the nature of the weapon.

Moro gripped the scabbard with both hands and swung it horizontally.

The long sword connected by the chain suddenly lashed out like a whip at Kuroro's right hand holding the book.

at the same time.

Moro promptly withdrew his ability to condense starlight.

The chosen moment was precisely the instant Kuroro stopped Thief's Ultimate page-turning and was about to use his ability.

Kuroro's gaze sharpened. To dodge the blade that lashed back like a whip, he had no choice but to abort the ability he was about to use and leap backward to the side.

The sharp blade that was swung back swept past him.

The thief's ultimate restraint was that he had to hold the book with his right hand.

Furthermore, during the activation of this ability, it is necessary to ensure the stability of the book-holding action.

Moro took advantage of this to prevent Chrollo from using the abilities in the book immediately.

After forcing Chrollo back, Moro raised the scabbard with both hands and, as if casting a fishing rod, swung it at Chrollo from a distance, while simultaneously channeling Nen into the scabbard.

call out--

The psychic energy, like fuel, suddenly formed a powerful driving force, breaking the chains' hold.

In an instant,

Nobunaga's long sword flew through the air toward Chrollo's chest.

Kuroro frowned slightly, his body leaping backward a short distance before landing, his feet plunging a considerable distance into the ground.

Upon seeing the long sword flying towards him, he suddenly turned to the side, letting the sword pass right in front of him.

But just as his body froze, a cross-shaped starlight shone beneath his feet.

It is Morro's flying star leap.

Kuroro noticed immediately and leaped back slightly.

However, the cross-shaped star that emerged from the ground only flashed for a moment before disappearing.

Moro interrupted the release of his power, and while hanging the Abyssal Sheath at his waist, he unleashed his maximum burst of energy and suddenly shot out in a running start, arriving at Kuroro's side in the blink of an eye.

Kuroro glanced at Moro, who was closing in on him, out of the corner of his eye.

Moro immediately punched Kuroro's right arm.

"Oh!"

The fist slammed heavily into Kuroro's arm.

However, Kuroro's "Flow" technique was quite proficient, and he promptly gathered Nen at the point of impact, preventing the damage from the punch.

However, Moro's offensive was not over yet.

His other hand, with its five fingers outstretched, had its palm facing Kuroro, who was very close by.

In an instant,
A burst of psychic energy surged from his palm, striking Kuroro, who had no way to avoid it.

Instantly, Kuroro's body was blasted away by the shockwave.

Despite enduring several waves of attacks, he still held the book tightly at this moment.

Moro noticed this, and after several fierce attacks, it still didn't end there.

Taking advantage of his Emission-type abilities, he raised his right hand, palm facing Chrollo who had been blasted away.

At the same time, his left hand was placed behind his waist with the back of his hand pressed against his palm, and mental energy was also concentrated in his palm.

"Flying Star of Deception - Gemini"

He simultaneously condensed fluorescent green shooting stars in both hands, which then shot out.

One shot flew through the air towards Kuroro, while the other shot behind him.

After releasing the Twin Stars, Moro pushed off the ground with one foot and followed closely behind the Twin Stars, also chasing after Kuroro.

But at that moment, a burly figure suddenly appeared.

But it was Uvogin who rushed over immediately after landing from the air.

He lay across the trajectory of the flying star, his fist flashing with a dazzling red light.

That was his signature move, the Super Destructive Fist, but he didn't unleash his full power.

Even if it wasn't a fully charged, destructive punch, the Nen energy surrounding it still created an astonishing sense of oppression.

Uvogin roared and punched the fluorescent green star head-on.

boom!
The two forces of thought collided violently, instantly triggering a massive explosion.

A surge of air erupted, and the shockwave exploded in a ring from Uvogin's straight punch, distorting the surrounding air for a moment.

Moro's expression was calm, yet a silent killing intent was brewing in his eyes.

He suddenly bent his knees and squatted down.

Just as he lowered his head, the shooting star released behind him turned back, flew over his head, and headed straight for Uvogin, who was on a straight trajectory.

At the same time, his right hand was pressed against the ground, his mental energy surging, but it remained suspended.

At this moment.

Just as Uvogin had retracted his arm, he saw the second Deception Star coming straight at him. He could only cross his arms and mobilize his Nen defense to the maximum extent.

The flying star struck the point where his arms crossed.

Immediately following was another violent explosion, with a circular shockwave sweeping outwards.

The force of the explosion knocked Uvogin back.

"Flying Star Leap"

Morona's pent-up psychic power was unleashed in that instant.

This is--

A combined offensive of deception and leapfrogging.

Suddenly, a cross-shaped beam of light appeared on the ground behind Uvogin at the perfect moment.

As Uvogin was blasted back to the position of the cross-shaped star on the ground, a shooting star shot out from it, effortlessly shattering Uvogin's legs.

Uvogin's cheek twitched violently, but he was surprisingly tough; amidst the flying bits of flesh and broken bones, he only let out a muffled groan.

But having lost both legs, he was practically dead.
