Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 393 The Duties of the Strongest

At the altitude where Neferbitt is located.

It's understandable that they would think the modified chimera soldier's aura level is unsatisfactory.

However, for human Nen users, these chimera soldiers, who are close to the rank of army commanders and have her Nen aura, possess considerable strength.

So, dissatisfaction is one thing...

The combat capabilities of the chimera soldiers were barely passable.

However, the hundred chimera soldiers who had just been sent to Peijing City were rapidly dwindling in number.

The speed at which those linear bursts of Nen disappeared immediately reminded Neferpitou of Netero.

In her knowledge, only Netero could have carried out such an exaggerated purge of the chimera soldiers.

She gazed in the direction of Peijing City, her pupils slowly dilating, as if a topographical map of Peijing City was unfolding in her field of vision.

Each chimera soldier was scattered across it like a chess piece.

She can instantly sense when a "chess piece" loses connection and clearly outline in her mind a clearing route that the opponent is rapidly advancing.

"More than one person."

In other parts of the chessboard, soldiers also began to lose contact one after another.

But these sporadic losses were far less significant than the main route that cut through the battlefield like a sharp sword.

Wherever it went, it was like a one-sided massacre.

Too many pieces have been captured...

Neferpitou instinctively bent his knees to get up, but then slowly sat back down, still maintaining the cross-legged position.

"If we take the initiative now, we should be able to eliminate quite a few human ability users... but I can't leave the King's side, meow."

She keenly sensed that this was an excellent opportunity to weaken the human faction.

If they could lead all the Chimera soldiers in a surprise attack, even if they couldn't defeat that old guy in the end, it would be enough to completely eliminate the other human ability users.

And with the selection ceremony just around the corner.

It would be safer to eliminate more threats.

Neferpitou recognized the opportunity, but as the King Ant's personal bodyguard, her primary responsibility was always to ensure the King's safety.

So even if she had to choose between "king" and "fighter jet" on the scales, she would choose the former without hesitation.

"Humans... they calculated that perfectly."

She couldn't possibly take the initiative, and she immediately understood why humans dared to act so boldly in Peijing.

It was precisely because she had anticipated that she and Xiao Yapuf would never stray far from the palace where the king resided.

Of course, this might also be a test.

Humans wanted to test the king's character and style to see if he would order them to go to Peijing to eliminate any potential threats that might interfere with the selection ceremony, or even personally take action.

If this possibility truly exists, humanity could seize the opportunity to take the king of the game in one fell swoop.

But at this moment, the king was immersed in the world of military chess and had no mind to pay attention to the disturbances outside.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Regardless of the outcome, this human endeavor is destined to yield some results.

"Is that what you're planning, meow?"

Neferbitt's gaze suddenly turned cold.

She decisively severed the telekinesis she was using to control the East Godot soldiers, and instead focused all her attention on the chimera soldiers in the courtyard.

The human side has a very clever plan.

However, the factor of "quantity" was not taken into account.

Neferpitou cannot leave his post, but he can increase his numbers to pose a threat to the humans who are running rampant in Peijing City.

Even if no victory is ultimately achieved, it is enough to significantly deplete human energy and physical strength.

When it comes to endurance...

Humans are like ants.

Neferbitt deserves this confidence.

It can maintain an extremely large circle for long periods of time without sleep or rest, and can also control a considerable number of puppets at the same time, as well as perform quite complex chimera modification surgeries.

Putting everything else aside, this endurance alone far exceeds the limits that humans can achieve.

..............................

In Peijing City.

The cold wind howled incessantly, like a wronged soul with nowhere to go.

The armed soldiers who were originally scattered throughout the city suddenly collapsed to the ground.

Some soldiers standing on high ground lost their footing and fell from the top of the building one after another.

Without Neferpitou's Nen boost, their bodies crashed to the ground, quickly creating pools of blood.

"Did you withdraw the Nen you placed on the ordinary soldiers...?"

Mo Laowu gripped his huge pipe tightly and blocked a fierce claw attack from a chimera soldier.

With a crisp impact, he used the momentum to leap backward.

As he created distance, he glanced at the ordinary soldiers falling one after another, and the gunfire that had been ringing in his ears since the start of the battle was quickly fading away.

"It seems they want to bring over another batch of ability user puppets."

Mo Laowu landed steadily on the roof of a building, ignoring the chimera soldiers that were chasing after him.

The instant he looked away, the chimera soldier, whose body was surging with Nen, suddenly leaped into the air and pounced on him from above.

In a flash, several purple smoke soldiers made of smoke suddenly darted out of the alley and accurately knocked the chimera soldier away.

Mo Laowu paid no attention to this scene from beginning to end, his eyes quickly scanning the battle situation of his other teammates.

He knew that while his Purple Smoke Fist was good at adapting to changing situations, it was essentially more of a support type.

In other words, when dealing with enemies like Chimera Ants, his abilities lack direct and powerful means of killing.

Especially when the manifested energy is dispersed into numerous purple smoke soldiers, the efficiency of clearing out the chimeric soldiers is inevitably affected.

But Mo Laowu always kept his position clear.

To maximize the tactical value of the Purple Smoke Fist, he fulfilled his support role, prioritizing accuracy and performance, and only produced fifty Purple Smoke Soldiers to assist other teammates in combat.

In this way, although he rarely achieves any victories, he can effectively improve his teammates' output efficiency by utilizing the cooperative combat attributes of the Purple Smoke Soldiers.

Therefore, his focus was not on direct confrontation, but on keeping a close eye on the dynamics of the entire battlefield.

"Moro doesn't need any support at all... In fact, I think sending the Purple Smoke Soldiers there would only interfere with him."

Mo Laowu's gaze swept across the war zone where Moro was located, and all he saw were clean and efficient scenes of killing.

That swift and fierce attack was truly terrifying.

"Using the 'burst' characteristic of the Emission type to increase movement speed does indeed greatly improve offensive efficiency, but correspondingly, the consumption speed is also considerable."

Mo Laowu's only concern was whether Moro's physical strength and Nen could sustain such exertion.

But he also understood that Morrow chose this style of play precisely to fulfill the responsibility of the team's strongest player and to reduce the pressure on the other team members in the face of battle with the sharpest offensive.

Especially when the enemy is about to send in more ability user puppets, Moro's efficient tactics can undoubtedly benefit every teammate.

Mo Laowu, with his auxiliary perspective, saw the whole situation clearly, but could only tacitly allow Moro to take the risks upon himself.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

In his view, Moro had already achieved this.

"Although Nakuru and Shuto's abilities are more mechanical, under the cover of the Purple Smoke Soldiers, they can easily break through the Nen defenses of these puppets even without using their abilities."

"Xiao Jie's offensive methods... are indeed quite powerful, but there are some risks when 'reeling in', but with the Purple Smoke Soldiers assisting from the side, it shouldn't be a problem."

"Kurt's strategy was quite clever. He first used the paper doll to induce the puppet to 'eliminate the nearest enemy,' and then took the opportunity to scatter the paper doll into a large number of paper pieces, waiting for the right moment to complete the one-hit kill of the manipulation system."

“Menchi has an even more important task: once enemy reinforcements arrive, they will be unable to continue their operations.”

“Gail’s abilities belong to the materialization and transformation types. Unfortunately, the poison has limited effect on puppets, but as long as there are Purple Smoke Soldiers to cooperate, he can still use Nen techniques to achieve efficient combat.” “We don’t need to pay too much attention to Kate. His abilities are suitable for combat. Even with only one hand left, his clearing efficiency is still very high.”

"However... Hisoka seems to be more efficient."

Mo Laowu's gaze finally settled on Hisoka, who had been summoned by Moro.

"A typical militant faction."

With just one glance, Mo Laowu made his judgment.

Without a doubt, Hisoka is a martial arts enthusiast who loves fighting and battling.

All techniques and combat methods are solely for the purpose of eliminating the enemy in the most direct way.

Such a person with such abilities must be treated with extreme caution if they are an opponent.

But if they become teammates, it makes one feel exceptionally at ease.

"There are about fifty left, we'll be able to finish them soon..."

While keeping an eye on the battlefield's progress, Mo Laowu continued to manufacture new Purple Smoke Soldiers to replenish his forces.

This is precisely where the Purple Smoke Soldiers' advantage lies.

Although their individual combat strength is inferior to these ability user puppets, they can be continuously replenished.

Therefore, as long as you fulfill your responsibilities of providing cover and luring the enemy, even if it's a one-for-one trade, you're guaranteed to make a profit.

Just as he blew out the last Purple Smoke Soldier for replenishment, he suddenly noticed a large group of ability user puppets surging from the direction of the palace.

The phantom of the controller faintly appeared on each puppet, emanating an aura even more dangerous than before.

Clearly, these puppets carried a much stronger malice from their manipulators.

"Um!?"

Mo Laowu carefully counted the number and found there were two hundred. His expression changed.

From his position, he could see not only the puppet army about to invade the battlefield, but also the circle looming over the palace in the distance.

This means that Neferpitou was able to control nearly 250 ability user puppets simultaneously while maintaining such a large circle.

"too exaggerated."

Mo Laowu unconsciously tightened his grip on his pipe, finding it hard to imagine the limits of his direct bodyguards, and finally understood why Chairman Netero hadn't been able to kill Neferpitou back then.

How exactly can such a monster be killed?
In that instant, he recalled the encounter with Yupi when he attacked the ant nest.

That guy's magnanimity was even greater than Neferpitou's.

Fortunately, Moro dealt with it at that time.

Otherwise, Morel would never have dared to imagine how troublesome it would be once Yupi mastered Nen.

Thinking of this, Mo Laowu's gaze couldn't help but turn to the location where Moro was again.

Moro's figure was like a dazzling streak of light, and wherever he passed, the ability user puppets fell one after another.

He completely disregarded the consumption of his energy, pouring all his strength into his attack, making each strike extremely fierce.

"Moro...is he still accelerating?"

Seeing that Moro was able to further accelerate the pace of the attack, Mo Laowu was shocked.

They must have noticed the two hundred ability user puppets that had just entered...

“At this rate, we’ll be exhausted in less than half an hour. We need to get Nob ready to retreat.”

Mo Laowu had a clear understanding of the situation and immediately contacted Nobu.

At that moment, Norbu was hiding in the bushes on a hillside.

This place is quite a distance from the palace, but it's also the closest it can get to avoid being caught in Neferpitou's line of sight.

After all, the other party's defense methods are not limited to just circles.

Even sight and senses can detect the slightest movement.

Norb remained extremely cautious throughout.

Even though they were so far apart, his hand...

The trembling continued uncontrollably.

Neferpitou's malevolent aura acted like a switch, mercilessly awakening the shadows left behind from his initial attack on the anthill.

"Is this all the 'courage' I can muster...?"

Norb's eyes dimmed, and he gave a weak, self-deprecating laugh.

Despite the ever-present fear, he still tried his best to place the "passage" as close as possible.

Only in this way can Peng Si's Bumblebee control precision be guaranteed.

"This is... the best we can do."

Nob extended his trembling index finger and slowly traced the outline of the passage on the ground beside him.

Immediately afterwards, he picked up a small pebble and threw it into the dark passage.

After a while.

One after another, bumblebees flew out of the dark passage and headed towards the palace.

Norb watched the bumblebee fly away.

"Om-"

The phone in his pocket vibrated slightly at that moment, interrupting Nob's thoughts.

This is the quietest way to communicate.

Norbu took out his phone and saw the message from Mo Laowu. His expression changed.

His route of advance toward the palace was a detour from the side.

However, because he was too focused on Neferpitou's aura, he failed to notice the two hundred ability user puppets heading towards Peijing City from the front.

Fortunately, Mo Laowu sent a text message...

Norbu took a deep breath to compose himself.

At least--

He needs to do this well.

........................

Peijing City.

Upon seeing the two hundred ability user puppets that were swarming towards him, Moro couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

His teammates might be relieved at this moment that he managed to kill a direct guard while attacking the ant nest.

But only he knew...

The killing of Yupi also brought about obvious changes that differed from the original story.

For example, the army of ability users puppets controlled by Neferpitou in front of us.

If there are more reserves in the palace.

Therefore, the difficulty of restraining the direct guards will increase significantly.

So it's hard to say...

Whether the changes he brought about were good or bad remains to be seen.

It would be so much easier to just use roses.

Moro muttered a small complaint to himself, then launched himself into the air without hesitation towards the group of ability user puppets.

Even while fighting in "this region," they still had to consider the safety of the citizens of East Godot who would be participating in tomorrow's selection ceremony in every building.

Everyone was shocked to see Moro charging alone towards the army of ability user puppets.

What a mess!

Immediately afterwards, Kurt and Hisoka followed without hesitation.
