Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 394 The Moment Finally Arrived

Facing scattered chimera soldiers, the battle was virtually risk-free.

Moreover, Mo Laowu's Purple Smoke Soldiers were also there to assist in the battle.

However, the risks are vastly different if one were to charge into a chimera army of two hundred men all by himself.

But that's exactly what Morrow did.

Defeating them one by one and being surrounded are two completely different situations.

Mo Laowu and the others felt that Mo Luo was acting too recklessly, but he was too fast and they didn't have time to stop him.

Only Kurt and Hisoka, who were closer to Morrow, abandoned all their concerns at that moment, their bodies acting before their thoughts, and rushed to Morrow's seemingly bold move without hesitation.

Kurt didn't really think too much about it, and he didn't even consider what changes his own strength could bring.

I simply felt that even if we could only tie down a small portion of the enemy, it would alleviate the pressure on Moro in the front lines of combat.

Hisoka's thoughts, however, were purer.

He didn't want to see Moro slowly worn down to death by this bunch of bizarre chimera soldiers.

Moro shot towards the numerous Chimera soldiers like an arrow, and with his keen senses, he naturally noticed that Kurt and Hisoka followed immediately.

But he had no time to think further.

When this chimeric soldier force stormed into the battlefield, Morrow knew he had to take on the responsibility of drawing the majority of the fire while also speeding up the pace of eliminating the enemy.

Otherwise, if this force were to coordinate with the existing fifty-odd chimera soldiers in the field, the entire expeditionary force would be in grave danger.

Furthermore, the possibility that Neferbitt refined the puppet commands cannot be ruled out.

If Neferpitou were to add an instruction prioritizing reducing the number of enemy troops, then...

These manipulated ability users could potentially target and concentrate their attacks on the members of the extermination team with the weakest Nen level.

Faced with Moro's aerial attack, the numerous Chimera soldiers who had just arrived at the scene, under the control of the red phantom puppeteer, all revealed their intention to attack Moro.

They have no concept of Nen techniques, let alone possess true Nen abilities; they only display a brute force and use sharp teeth and claws as weapons.

As Moro rapidly approached, the six chimera soldiers immediately leaped into the air and pounced on him like birds of prey.

Under the precise control of the red phantom, although they attacked with a leaping momentum, they displayed a bizarre ability to stay airborne that defied the common sense of physics.

It was as if the red phantom's psychic power itself possessed levitation properties, allowing it to suspend these puppets in mid-air like marionettes.

Swish-

Claws imbued with Nen tore through the air, emitting piercing shrieks, blocking Moro's advance routes from various angles.

"Starlight Convergence"

A dazzling starlight suddenly burst forth, expanding rapidly outwards from Moro's body and instantly enveloping the six chimera soldiers who were rushing towards him from the air.

In an instant, a torrent of information, as if brought to life, flooded into Moro's mind, and all calculations were completed in the blink of an eye.

A dazzling beam of light appeared out of thin air before their eyes, precisely connecting the six enemies into a constellation pattern.

That is precisely the optimal route of attack.

next moment.

The outward-expanding, dazzling starlight rebounded back onto Moro at an even faster speed, and instead stirred up bubble-like, solidified spiritual energy from all over his body.

Snap, snap!
The bubble-like Nen burst one after another under Moro's skillful control, transforming into perfectly timed thrusts.

The generation of this force abruptly altered the trajectory of Moro's flight.

Let him fly along the path marked by the constellation beam, delivering deadly attacks precisely to the six chimera soldiers along the way.

Hee hee hee…!
A slightly tortuous streak of light swept past, carrying Moro's figure as he swiftly severed the heads of six Chimera soldiers with a palm strike imbued with concentrated Nen.

Suddenly, the head and body separated in mid-air, and blood splattered everywhere.

The six heads were lifted high by the impact almost simultaneously, tracing six scarlet arcs.

This demonstrates that Moro's attack route was extremely precise, and his speed was incredibly fast.

To onlookers, the entire process, from the burst of brilliant starlight to its retraction, and then to his figure darting past and severing six heads, took only a second.

But the speed and precision displayed in that one second can be described as extremely violent and beautiful.

Seeing this, Mo Laowu, Gai Lu, and the others were shocked and finally followed suit, just like Cortez.

The aesthetically pleasing offensive power that Morrow displayed in the melee did indeed bring a reliable sense of security.

But they couldn't let Moro shoulder all the risks.

Everyone has the awareness to risk their life!

The melee erupted again, beginning with Moro instantly severing six heads.

Faced with a larger and more densely packed Chimera soldiers, Moro had no time to pay attention to the movements and situations of his other teammates.

He fell diagonally from the sky to the ground.

The moment they landed, fearless chimera soldiers surged in from all directions.

This is the advantage of having puppet soldiers.

They would not be intimidated by Morrow's thunderous attack, nor would they experience any negative emotions such as fear or hesitation.

If the commander of the army, Chimera Ant, possessed humanity and emotions, he would inevitably be affected by emotional fluctuations, thus delaying the best opportunity to counterattack.

That way, after Moro lands, he will have plenty of room to continue the impact.

However, the chimeric puppet soldiers, who lack independent consciousness, would obviously not give him such an opportunity.

As the chimera soldiers pressed in like a tidal wave, Moro still did not use the Flying Star attack, which could break up the enemy's formation.

On the one hand, there is a possibility of accidentally harming the people of Dongguotuo inside the building; on the other hand, the output conversion rate of Feixing is not high.

More precisely, it's better to use the "Condensation" palm strike.

Compared to the more energy-consuming Flying Star, simply "Condensing" in the palm of the hand gathers more spiritual energy, which can form a highly efficient one-hit kill ability.

"Starlight Convergence"

The dazzling starlight re-emerged and expanded from Moro's body, but this time the range was precisely controlled within a radius of one meter.

This way, more energy can be reserved for combat, and the brain can be prevented from being overloaded by receiving too much information at once.

With the ultimate insight and margin for error provided by the convergence of starlight, Moro charged forward like a meteor, tearing a sharp gap in the enemy ranks.

Wherever the palm strike lands, a head will inevitably fly through the air.

He continued to carve up the battlefield with this ruthless and efficient pace.

However, when surrounded, there is little room for maneuver.

Faced with the soldiers swarming in like ants, fearless of death, Moro drew most of the firepower while wounds began to appear on his body.

This was an almost unavoidable cost, and it was also related to Moro focusing all his fighting efforts on offense.

In his view, it is entirely feasible to sacrifice injury for increased kill efficiency, given the endurance provided by "Star Stealing".

After several rounds of fighting, more than a dozen Chimera soldiers' corpses lay on the ground around Moro.

Meanwhile, outside the Chimera soldiers' formation, Kurt and Hisoka's teammates launched a fierce attack.

However, the chimera soldiers fighting in formation became significantly more difficult to kill.

Aside from characters like Hisoka and Kai, who possess powerful offensive capabilities, being unaffected...

Users like Kal't, Nakoruru, and Shuto, who rely on mechanics and focus on single targets, find it difficult to perform effectively when facing organized groups of enemies.

Nevertheless, Nakuru and his men continued their bloody battle.

Even if they cannot kill enemies efficiently, they can still use their flesh and blood to draw fire and relieve pressure on their teammates.

Every feint attack, every attempt to contain.

They are all creating subtle yet crucial turning points in the overall battle.

Unfortunately, human resources are ultimately limited.

The enemy's numerical advantage was simply too overwhelming, and as the intense battle dragged on...

Everyone, including Moro, had to consider the possibility that their potential would eventually run out.

The fact is, given the current situation, even if they squeezed out every last drop of potential energy, they still wouldn't be able to clear out the chimera soldiers here.

Mo Laowu, with his shrewd strategic vision, foresaw this, and his advance notice to Nobu to come and meet him also inadvertently ensured a crucial escape route for all his teammates.

"More than a hundred left..."

Mo Laowu roughly estimated the number of enemies remaining in the field, then glanced at his comrades.

They were all visibly exhausted.

This kind of chaotic battle, where you're outnumbered and walking on the edge of a knife, causes your energy to be depleted at an alarming rate due to the intense tension and the psychological pressure of not being able to make a mistake.

Or rather, there has been an increase in unnecessary loss of mental energy.

But in a situation where one wrong step could lead to utter ruin, who would be willing to bear the consequences of trial and error?

This is human nature.

Perhaps only a powerful individual like Moro, who is adept at handling such situations, could ensure that every bit of Nen energy is used to its fullest potential in such a chaotic battle.

However, being able to handle things with ease is also based on the premise that one cannot afford to make any mistakes.

Mo Laowu turned his gaze to Mo Luo on the battlefield.

"He was clearly the one who was exhausted the fastest and the most, yet he showed no signs of fatigue whatsoever, even risking injury to save his life..."

Seeing that Moro still maintained a high level of combat effectiveness, Mo Laowu was extremely surprised.

As for the numerous bloody wounds on Moro's body, he wasn't too worried.

After all, it's become somewhat commonplace.

At this moment.

Moro's outward sharpness remains undiminished, but his underlying magnanimity is indeed running out.

I was hoping to achieve a level up by simply increasing the quantity of experience points, but I underestimated the huge amount of experience points required after reaching level 90.

We've killed over a hundred puppet soldiers around level 60, but there's still no sign of them leveling up.

Therefore, the plan to restore some gas volume through upgrades is clearly not feasible.

"Almost done, and some stars have already been reserved..."

Since they could not eliminate all the chimera soldiers in one fell swoop, they had no choice but to temporarily stop and regroup.

"There are still more than ten hours before midnight."

Moro began to switch from offense to defense, gradually withdrawing from the encirclement of the Chimera soldiers.

These modified ability-wielding puppets ultimately possess both advantages and disadvantages.

Their individual strength is not weak, but their lack of autonomy makes their combat methods extremely rigid.

Even when they can launch coordinated attacks under command, their movements are still noticeably sluggish and rigid.

However, given Neferpitou and Shayapov's abilities and intelligence...

Given more time, they could definitely make further improvements and eventually create even more powerful and dangerous soldier puppets.

"After midnight, the 'evolutionary process' of the chimeric ants must be brought to a complete halt."

Morroby and everyone else knew the terrifying evolutionary potential of the King Ant and his direct guards.

This evolution refers not only to an improvement in strength, but also to their speed and efficiency in absorbing and utilizing massive amounts of knowledge, as well as their almost terrifying execution ability.

"That matter... is there still time?"

After easily dispatching an approaching chimera soldier, Moro moved closer to his teammates while glancing out of the corner of his eye towards the palace.

By getting involved himself, he aimed to influence the wheat's journey to the capital palace...

Such intervention based on familiarity with the plot may lead to even worse complications.

But it may also create an even better opportunity.

The opportunity that Morrow was waiting for was...

The ant king severed one of his arms.

As long as wheat enters the palace and plays chess with the ant king, then "this matter" will inevitably happen.

Moro was convinced of this because of the pure awareness that wheat's defeat meant the loss of his life.

Faced with this realization, from the moment the Ant King, having suffered consecutive losses, attempted to disrupt Wheat's mind with a "bet"...

He was destined to make the move of cutting off his own arm as a sign of his enlightenment, displaying the arrogance of a king.

If "this moment" actually happened.

This will trigger a series of chain reactions.

Neferbitt was the first to be affected.

In order to heal the King Ant's severed arm, she must concentrate all her energy and mental power.

At that time, it will be impossible to maintain a large-scale "circle" for vigilance, and it may be unable to concentrate on controlling the puppet soldiers.

What Morrow needs to do is stop Neferpitou from treating the King Ant's severed arm.

In this way, Netero would be facing the King Ant, who had lost an arm.

This outcome might dampen Netero's enthusiasm for challenging the King Ant.

But Moro didn't care about any of that.

"Ideally, in the last two hours before midnight, the King Ant will cut off his own arm during his game with Wheat..."

Morrow remembered that it would take Neferpitou 2 to 3 hours to heal the king ant's severed arm.

"We can only wait."

Moro stopped thinking about it and prepared to retreat to the four-dimensional apartment with his teammates.

But at that moment, something unexpected happened.

The group of chimera soldiers who were chasing them suddenly stopped moving without warning.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the red phantom spheres used to control the chimeric soldiers flew at an extremely fast speed toward the capital palace.

"The thought has been taken back?"

Everyone immediately realized this and showed expressions of surprise and uncertainty.

Then he suddenly looked at the chimera soldier who had lost its power source.

opportunity!

Although we don't know what happened, now is an opportunity to get rid of these puppets.

And once again, Moro stepped in front of everyone without hesitation.

"let me."

As he spoke, he glanced toward the capital palace and subtly frowned.

As expected, the star icon was moved there.

but,

It's too early.

There are still ten hours until midnight, unless Netero arrives immediately...
