Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 250 How is it possible? !
Just as Moro and Illumi were locked in combat, and Moro used his Flying Star to kill Chrollo.

Other matches on the field were either fiercely contested or nearing their end.

Kurapika's Chain of Souls completely countered Pygmalion's offensive capabilities.

Furthermore, thanks to the Nen attribute boost brought by the "Absolute Time" ability, Kurapika has been suppressing Pakunoda since the start of the battle.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Kurapika should be able to defeat his opponent faster than Conzacart.

But Paknotta has another trump card.

She can store the combat memories of some experts into memory bullets.

These battle memories are not entirely condensed from things like techniques, but more from the state of mind and even emotions of masters during duels.

Paknoda can fire memory bullets containing these things into her own head, thereby synchronizing with the state that masters once vaguely reached their limits, thus greatly improving her combat abilities.

However, this ability comes at a price.

First, the duration is not long. Second, after the "state" ends, Paknoda will be uncontrollably distracted and unable to concentrate for a long time.

But given the current situation, Paknotta naturally wouldn't consider the cost.

She decisively used this trump card.

Unfortunately, she was facing an avenger who had emerged from the Kurta incident.

The chains of contract in Kurapika's hands are as unbreakable as his will to venge him.

Therefore, no matter how much power Paknoda unleashed, she was unable to change the status quo.

Every time she tried to break free, Kurapika's chains ruthlessly thwarted her.

Thus, Kurapika gradually pushed her to the brink of defeat, and her demise was only a matter of time.

Kuroro's death accelerated this process.

"Commander...!"

The intense palpitations caused Paknoda to momentarily lose her composure.

Kurapika seized upon this fatal flaw exposed by Pakunoda and immediately manipulated the binding chain on his middle finger to wrap around Pakunoda's body from a blind spot.

Absolute bondage...

The energy manifested on Paknoda's body was instantly suppressed back into her body by the chain binding her middle finger, and the revolver in her hand dissipated into countless strands of energy.

Having lost her only weapon, "Nen," Paknoda felt the cold, binding force of the chains, and despair appeared on her face.

She looked into Kurapika's fiery red eyes and saw her own face, filled with despair, reflected in the blood-red glowing crystal. In a daze, she also saw a group of people with red eyes and expressions of despair from the past.

After Kurapika used the binding chain to restrain Pakunoda, he quickly glanced at the situation on Moro and Kalmod's side.

A thirst for revenge, and a desire to quickly aid Morrow and Kurt...

Through the interplay of these two factors, Kurapika underwent a transformation.

He decisively and swiftly plunged the chain binding his middle finger into Paknoda's heart.

Paknoda's expression froze, despair solidified in her eyes, and her body collapsed to the ground.

Kurapika didn't even glance at Pakunoda, quickly shifting his attention to Morrow and Kalmod.

The successive deaths of Chrollo and Pakunoda undoubtedly affected Machi and Amanda.

Machi is filled with anger and helplessness, while Amanda is filled with resentment and bitterness.

Both of them were already at a disadvantage, but now, influenced by their emotions, their situation became even more precarious.

the other side.

Illumi quickly finished thinking.

We can't attack Moro anymore.

This consideration stemmed not only from his observation of Kurapika, who had already defeated his opponent, but also from the fact that his own sister's battle was nearing its end.

But the more important reason is that he no longer has the legitimate reason of "commissioning".

This essentially stripped him of the right to attack Morrow in front of Kurt.

in other words,

If Kurt hadn't been there, he might have been able to act recklessly, willing to work for free just to convince himself with the lame excuse that "a deposit had already been received."

Illumi ultimately decided to stop, thus decisively suppressing the murderous intent emanating from his aura.

However, stopping wasn't something he could decide alone. Morrow's current thought was to take advantage of Kal'ts being preoccupied and then use "self-defense" as a pretext to quickly kill Illumi.

call--!
Suddenly, a huge block of cement shot out from the dust and headed straight for Illumi.

As soon as Illumi regained his footing, he saw the cement block hurtling towards him. He calmly used a pin to prick his right arm to stop the bleeding, then used his left hand with fingers like a knife to stab straight at the flying cement block.

The palm tip precisely struck the center of the cement block, and the strike, imbued with spiritual energy, instantly cleaved it in two.

The cement block, now split in two, slid off Illumi's side and crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

This piece of cement is not a flat slab; it has a large piece of concrete attached to the bottom, making it look like a deformed spinning top.

At this moment, it was split in two and lay diagonally on the ground, with one side always facing Illumi's back.

Just after the cement block hit the ground, Illumi's pupils reflected more than a dozen points of light.

That was Moro's flying star splitting off, right after the cement block.

Illumi still had the strength to scan the billowing smoke and dust. He couldn't see Moro's face, but he could sense Moro's presence, or rather...

It was an intense killing intent.

"Did you ignore the signal I sent...?"

Illumi stared expressionlessly at the oncoming split star, assessing its threat level with just one glance.

"Firm"

After pinpointing Moro's location, Illumi opted for a more cautious approach, covering his body with Nen defenses as sturdy as armor.

Boom boom boom...!
The flying stars, weakened by their splitting, bombarded Illumi's body repeatedly, but failed to break through his defenses.

Illumi withstood the wave of psychic bullets, keeping his eyes fixed on the intense killing intent emanating from Moro within the smoke and dust throughout.

However, being completely unaware of Moro's new abilities, he didn't notice at all...

On the surface of the two cement blocks that were tilted like spinning tops behind them, a cross-shaped star suddenly appeared.

"Ok?"

Illumi sensed three waves of Nen energy almost simultaneously.

One was a faint, emanating moro from the depths of the smoke and dust, while the other two were nearby behind them, carrying a chilling sense of oppression.

Which side needs to be the focus of our defense?

In a flash, Illumi, relying on his rich combat experience, focused his main defensive efforts on his rear.

Because the two nearby fluctuations of psychic energy are more threatening.

As for Moro ahead, although he was filled with murderous intent, he was still far away and had more room to react.

Illumi hastily erected a barrier called Nen behind him.

Two projectiles shot out from the surface of the cement block and accurately struck Illumi in the back, causing a violent explosion.

Despite the strong protection from Nen, Illumi was still thrown forward a few steps by the force of the explosion.

At this moment——

Moro appeared out of thin air in front of Illumi, his crimson bird-shaped dagger radiating a chilling killing intent as he slashed towards Illumi's neck.

Faced with this sudden attack, Illumi's pupils trembled.

He was already on guard, and in his shock, he instinctively crossed his arms in front of him.

Hiss!
A sharp glint of light flashed.

Blood splattered instantly as Illumi's right arm and left hand were severed, tumbling and flying into the air.

"How is this possible...!?"

Illumi's trembling pupils reflected Moro's image, and then, amidst a sharp pain near his collarbone, a spurt of blood gushed out.

The Nen associated with that knife was far stronger than the Nen that clung to his arms.

Therefore, even after his hands were severed, the force of the strike did not dissipate, leaving a blood-splattered wound near his collarbone.

If the Red Jade Bird Knife hadn't been limited in length, the injury would likely have been far more than just a single wound.

But what truly baffled Illumi was...

Moro used two new abilities in this offensive!
There was no time to delve into this phenomenon beyond comprehension; at that moment, Illumi faced a profound sense of crisis.
