Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 375 An Ant Can Swallow an Elephant
Naku has over five thousand real-world combat experiences.

He encountered quite a few formidable opponents along the way.

But even the strongest opponent he had ever faced was far less powerful than the monster he was seeing now.

"Should we...fight a monster like that?"

Nakulu's body trembled uncontrollably, his pupils dilated violently, and he asked himself a question in his mind.

Such a reaction is not surprising.

What was presented to Nakuru was Yupi's ferocious appearance, which was purely born for killing, and his terrifying power, which far exceeded human comprehension.

Even if we can successfully activate the "Heaven knows not that I alone am harmed" ability on this monster.

How long will it take to bankrupt someone with such unfathomable magnanimity?
No, let alone bankruptcy...

Under that suffocating onslaught, it's unimaginable to even last ten seconds.

So what exactly should we do...?

How can we defeat such a monster?

There is no answer.

Nakuru didn't have time to think deeply.

The next second, he dragged his trembling body and rushed towards Youpi's back without hesitation.

He was able to suppress his fear instantly because he knew very well that every second he delayed brought Moro one step closer to death.

"I must relieve the pressure on my teammates as soon as possible."

This thought, at this moment, overwhelmed all the hesitation and bewilderment in Nakuru's heart.

Yupi's all-around compound eyes almost instantly caught Nakuru's movements.

However, he did not react immediately and continued to suppress Moro with all his might.

That moment of indifference was clearly seen by Nakuru.

"Compared to completely crushing Moro...am I nothing more than an insect unworthy even of vigilance?"

Through Yupi's unwavering aura and body language, Nakuru clearly discerned the other's thoughts at that moment.

Although he had never actually fought Moro, he relied on the intuition honed through more than five thousand real battles and the combat assessment instincts he had gradually developed through his abilities.

Nakuru was almost certain that Morrow's apparent strength was indeed superior to his.

However, while there are differences between them, they are not insurmountable.

He still has the potential to defeat Morrow.

However, in the eyes of that monster...

I don't even have the right to be placed on the other side of the scale?
Faced with such contempt, should he be angry or resentful at this moment?
No.

He should feel fortunate—

Fortunately, the monster made such an arrogant judgment in that instant.

"Very good……"

Since he learned to fight, this is the first time Nakuru has felt happy about being treated like trash.

This means one thing.

His probability of hitting Yupi increased dramatically at this moment.

He closed in rapidly.

Only then did Yupi seem to finally glance at them.

then,

Two of the ten tentacles that were originally unleashing a torrential downpour suddenly separated and stabbed straight at Nakuru like sharp blades.

Faced with this attack, Nakuru suddenly bent down and crouched, narrowly dodging the first blow.

Then, he braced himself with both hands on the ground and sprinted toward Yupi's back in a starting motion.

However, the two tentacles that missed their target suddenly trembled and transformed into countless whip shadows, pressing down on him relentlessly.

Nakulu felt a chill run down his spine and was forced to stop. He could only awkwardly dodge through the gaps in the whip net and could no longer advance even an inch.

This incredibly fierce offensive completely shattered his previous optimism.

"Just two tentacles..."

He couldn't believe it.

Only at this moment did he truly realize how absurd and desperate the offensive Moro was facing was.

A strong sense of admiration welled up from the bottom of my heart.

The more they realized Moro's strength, the more they knew they couldn't afford to retreat.

Nakuru gritted his teeth, a resolute glint in his eyes.

In order to interrupt Yupi's offensive, he was prepared to be injured at this moment.

Without the slightest hesitation, Nakulu took a step forward to meet the fiercely lashing tentacles!
laugh!
A whip-like tentacle tore a bloody gash across his waist.

Nakuru didn't care at all, twisted his waist, and punched Yupi in the lower back.

Yupi's compound eyes moved slightly, taking in all his movements.

However, his focus and concentration remained firmly on Moro, whom he found even more troublesome and difficult to deal with.

So when faced with Nakuru's close-range attack, he didn't even consider using more tentacles.

But those two arms that were initially raised suddenly lashed out, striking Nakkulu's vitals like lightning.

Yupi's response was exactly what Nakul had anticipated.

This is also a natural consequence of arrogance.

While maintaining his punching momentum, Nakuru suddenly bent his knees and lowered his body, redirecting Yupi's attack to a non-vital area.

Tsk, tsk!

Two jets of blood splattered upwards.

Nakuru remained unconcerned and slammed his battle-hardened fist heavily into Yupi's lower back.

Bang!
The punch landed squarely.

Yupi's body swayed slightly.
The punch failed to break through his defenses and didn't even cause him any pain.

But being bitten by a tiny mosquito still annoyed Yupi.

Just as he was considering whether he should crush the insect completely.

After landing a punch, the opponent turned and ran without hesitation.

That unwavering back view, that every step of the fleeing figure…

It gave Yupi a sense of familiarity.

correct.

He looks exactly like that man with the pipe.

But Yupi's offensive did not stop there.

He was still doing his best to suppress Moro, while simultaneously manipulating the two tentacles to lash out at Nakoruru's retreat route.

But in the end, they still couldn't keep Nakuru.

This is because Nakuru had already activated the ability "The heavens know not that I alone am harmed" when he turned to run away.

Porter, who was responsible for calculating interest, appeared without warning on the side of Youpi's armpit.

Yupi was momentarily distracted by the doll's sudden appearance.
This meant missing the last chance to stop Nakurul.

"What is this?"

"Appearing suddenly at such close range..."

"And those numbers, is it a bomb countdown?"

"No, the numbers haven't changed..."

"That weird ability again, what a nuisance!"

Yupi's eyes flashed with malice. Knowing that there was no way to stop Nakuro's escape, he simply retracted his tentacles and instead stabbed at the unidentified doll floating beside him.

laugh!
The power contained in this strike could easily pierce through Nakoruru's life, but it passed straight through Porter's body without causing any substantial damage.

Or rather, Porter was unharmed.

Yupi was taken aback, suddenly recalling the three eerie blue flames still burning on his body.

It appeared out of nowhere, couldn't be extinguished, and showed no signs of anything amiss...

The same situation occurred again.

This had a significant impact on Yupi's mental state.

Nevertheless, Yupi was certain of one thing.

Regardless of what this troublesome ability is all about, all the confusion can be resolved by eliminating the root cause of it.

This is the right line of thinking.

However, the brief moment of distraction and the decision to withdraw his two arms still greatly affected the offensive that was enveloping Moro.

Moro certainly didn't waste the opportunity that Nakuru had risked injury to secure for him.

Covered in wounds, he retreated, creating distance between himself and Yupi. He simultaneously withdrew his Starburst Condensation ability, instead gathering Nen in his palm and flinging a Deception Star behind him. With just this one action, Yupi, now resolute in his plan, was already upon him once more.

Swish, swish, swish...!
Another terrifying attack, formed by ten intertwined arms, ruthlessly assaulted Moro.

But Morrow promptly reactivated the ability to condense starlight.

As the sky was filled with dazzling starlight, Moro's figure weaved through the countless whip shadows.

Everything seemed to have returned to the moment before Nakuru intervened to provide support.

Nakuro, who had escaped the danger zone, turned around and saw this scene.

"Didn't this help Moro?"

The situation remained unchanged, which made a question flash through Nakuru's mind.

But he soon noticed something was different.

He noticed that Moro was moving forward.

He pressed on towards Yupi, braving the overwhelming barrage of whips that filled him with despair.

"..."

Having personally experienced that terrifying offensive, Nakuru was immediately plunged into silent shock.

That's absolutely terrifying...

The feelings that arose from the shock were directed at the monster, and also at the abilities that Moro displayed in the battle.

However, Nakuru quickly suppressed this feeling that it was meaningless and useless in the battle.

At this moment, he had no idea what Moro was planning to do.

But his intuition told him that he should turn back now and move closer to Youpi once again.

By betting on "what Moro will do next," we might get another chance to deliver a powerful punch to Yupi.

That's how Nakuru judged it, and so he turned around with absolute decisiveness.

This courage to fight made the fear and other emotions I had felt earlier pale in comparison.

Yupi naturally noticed the moves Morrow was making.

The price of this forceful approach was a barrage of tentacles that rained down, tearing Moro's body apart even more intensely.

What exactly... is he planning to do?

Yupi could almost foresee that Moro would be trapped in the killing formation and unable to escape.

This is why, even though he has a clear idea of ​​what to do, he still feels confused about it.

His question will be answered in a few seconds.

To be more precise, it was five seconds.

"Ding dong!"

"Time's up, interest accrual begins!"

From the moment Nakuru escaped to safety, until now, when Moro is once again caught in Yupi's fierce offensive.

A total of five seconds have passed.

It was also the tenth second since Porter appeared.

So Poteklin began the first timekeeping.

The number displayed on its head changed from 270 to 297.

It was this first instance of interest calculation that caused Yupi's offensive to pause for a negligible moment.

Under normal circumstances, this brief pause would not be enough to affect the course of the battle.

However, when Morrow landed a punch on Yupi, he was already mentally counting down the time it would take for Porter to strike.

Under such a terrifying onslaught, one must focus on dodging while simultaneously trying to count the time silently.

This is something that humans are absolutely not capable of doing.

But Nen ability is possible.

Moro, relying on his ability to condense starlight, accurately counted to ten seconds.

Therefore, when Porterling calculated the interest, his judgment of timing was like an incredibly precise and sharp scalpel, directly cutting through Youpi's brief pause.

He seized the opportunity, and at the cost of several more wounds on his body, he leaped through the last attacking whip and arrived in front of Youpi.

Nakuru, who was charging back towards Yupi's rear, finally understood why Moro was willing to endure immense pressure to force his way forward.

It was all for this moment.
In order to get truly close to Potcliffe at the moment when he attracts Youpi's attention.

So, once you get close...

What exactly to do?
Nakuro still couldn't figure it out.

But he had unwavering faith in Morona's determination to get close at any cost.

Therefore, no matter what happens next, he must keep a close eye on that fleeting opportunity.

Yupi and Nakuru's gazes simultaneously focused on Moro.

Moro simply raised his right hand, twirling an inconspicuous coin between his index and middle fingers.

Like picking up a white piece, with an unyielding momentum, it unleashed a beam of white light, accurately and powerfully striking Youpi's forehead.

"!?"

Yupi was stunned.

Because I did not feel any harm.

Naturally, he couldn't understand why Moro, whom he considered a difficult opponent, would risk his life to do such a thing.

do not care!
Yupi knew that at this moment, Moro had no chance of escaping.

That was also the moment when he could tear Moro apart.

"Kill you!!!"

Yupi's eyes flashed with a ferocious light.

However, just as all the tentacles, carrying the force of certain death, were about to tear Moro's body apart...

Moro vanished into thin air.

The ten tentacles were immediately emptied.

At a distance of 100 meters, Moro's figure became visible.

He finally used the "Blitzkrieg" ability for the first time in this battle.

Yupi hadn't expected this situation. As Moro disappeared, he stopped in astonishment and looked ahead a hundred meters away, following the trail of his aura.

Just then, the flying star that Moro had released earlier, guided by the God-marked coin, arrived at Yupi's forehead.

"Flying Stars in a Row"

What came was a series of flying stars that had split into a chain of stars.

Before Yupi could react, he was struck repeatedly on the forehead.

Bang bang bang...!
A continuous stream of flying beads exploded in front of Youpi's forehead.

Although each shot was not powerful enough to break through his thick Nen defense, the impact of the explosion was like a high-frequency fascia gun, bombarding the same spot densely and precisely.

They forcefully knocked his head back.

Nako, who was prepared, rushed over like a thief and punched Yupi in the lower back.

Without even glancing at the numbers on Potcliffe's forehead, he turned and ran away from Youpi.

"I succeeded! I'm a genius!"

Naku was so excited that sweat was pouring down his forehead.

But Yupi ignored him and instead saw a ghostly blue flame appear out of nowhere on his forehead through the compound eye on his collarbone.

"Meaningless."

Yupi, unusually, did not lose his mind. Instead, he stared expressionlessly at Moro's body, which was stained with blood, and did not even care about the Nen bullet in Moro's hand that was glowing with green light.

He understood that with Moro's current physical condition, he was no longer capable of causing any trouble.

As for the other human, he is even less worth mentioning.

It's understandable that Youpi would make this judgment.

After all, Moro was covered in blood and looked truly horrific.

"is it?"

Moro slowly opened his mouth, and the "Snatching Essence - Flying Star" that he had condensed in advance left his hand. After pausing for a moment, it flew straight towards the ant nest.

Blood-restoring medicine prepared in advance.

He made a lot of preparations before launching the final offensive.

In other words, the vitality of the lower-ranking soldiers.

By implanting a star marker in advance, one can use the Star Stealing Technique to plunder life force that can heal injuries.

All these meticulous preparations are for...

An ant swallows an elephant.
