Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 408 The Power of a Single Spark to Start a Prairie Fire (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)
The change in Xiao Yapuf was an unexpected development for Moro.

Mo Laowu's disadvantage was within Mo Luo's expectations.

I just didn't expect the disadvantage to be so great.

Could it be because Neferpitou had a fierce battle with Netero before, and thus, like Shayapuf, experienced a rapid growth in certain aspects?
No way to know.

It is certain that when facing monsters like Neferpitou, the combination of Nen abilities simply cannot produce an effect greater than 2.

To counter Neferpitou's offensive, the first step is to find a way to limit her speed.

Morod had to deal with Xiao Yapuf first, so he didn't have the energy to attend to the battle situation on Morod's side.

All they could do was hope that Hisoka could contribute some tactical value in the battle, even if it was just enough to stop Neferpitou's offensive, it would still affect the overall situation.

"We can only increase the speed, but that means we can't control the rate at which the potential gas is consumed..."

Moro mentally calculated the course of the upcoming battle.

He was only at about 50% health when he joined the team fight.

Although he is still confident that he can keep Shayapuv firmly in his grasp, the situation of his other teammates forces him to make some tactical adjustments.

The first priority is to increase the efficiency of harvesting the victims, but in order to avoid arousing suspicion from Shayapuv...

In a flash, Moro made a sudden change of heart.

He no longer relied on the kite-flying tactics of the release system, but instead adopted close-quarters combat.

With his superior level of manifested power, he could ensure that he could kill a victim with a single blow, even in close combat.

Therefore, as long as you are fast enough, you can improve your harvesting efficiency in the chaos of battle, and your consumption can be lower than that of Deceptive Flying Star - Rift Bow.

After all, the surrounding victims were all controlled by Shayapov, so there was no need to worry about the hit rate.

The only risk is...

Close-quarters combat makes one more vulnerable to being overwhelmed by sheer numbers and more prone to injury.

If Moro encounters this situation during the Flash Strike cooldown, he could potentially lose.

But this is something that can't be helped.

"Paji!"

In the chaos of the battle, Moro gathered his psychic power and smashed the head of a nearby victim with a single blow.

But almost at the same moment that victim fell, another victim stepped in to take his place.

It was practically an ant colony in the truest sense.

Moro could only act like a ruthless meat grinder, relentlessly slaughtering the endless stream of victims.

After reducing the need for maneuvering and the deceptive back-and-forth of flying stars, his efficiency in reaping victims did indeed improve significantly.

However, new wounds were soon added.

The owl remained suspended high in the sky.

Seeing that Moro had abandoned the more reliable long-range attack method, he naturally assumed...

This guy is already at his last gasp.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have resorted to hand-to-hand combat to counter his sheer numbers.

"It's time to finish."

Xiao Yapuv rested one hand on his elbow and the other on his chin.

Realizing that Moro was already at his limit, he finally had the leisure to look towards the palace.

"Neferbitt's situation... should be almost over by now."

Yapof knew Neferpitou's strength all too well.

Although it's hard to admit, Neferpitou is indeed the most well-rounded among his direct bodyguards.

Whether it's strength, speed, or even intelligence...

Neferbit has everything.

In contrast, Yupi excels only in strength, while he, Owlapf…

Only in terms of wisdom could he surpass Neferpitou.

With this understanding, he naturally did not believe that there was any human being capable of threatening Neferbitt.

If there is anyone, besides the old man who left with the Ant King, who is now about to be defeated by him, there is also Morrow.

This is a judgment that can be confirmed once you've dealt with the opponent.

However strong Moro may be, he is ultimately no match for Owl Yapf.

"Should we use a clone to check on Neferpitou's situation...?"

A thoughtful look flashed in Xiao Yapu's eyes.

"never mind."

Rather than checking on Neferpitou's situation, Shayapuf believed it was more important to concentrate all resources on dealing with Morrow, which would also ensure that everything went smoothly.

That's right...

Even if Xiao Yapuf is confident of victory, he will not be careless.

He may be contemptuous of Moro on an intellectual and tactical level, but he will never leave him any opening.

This level of importance also shows that he remembered very well the trouble Moro caused him.

Therefore, in order to ensure the strength of the tactical operation at all times, he even restrained the urge to use "Scale Powder Love Spring" to obtain more pleasure.

In comparison, confirming the battle situation on Neferpitou's side was a trivial matter that was not worth his attention.

below.

It was like a living hell.

Various severed limbs were scattered all over the ground, and a large amount of dark red blood stained every visible part of the ground like spilled ink.

But the victims' fearless offensive continued.

Without the influence of human nature, the explosive power hidden within a person can be better unleashed.

Moro needs to allocate some of his Nen energy to attacks at all times, making it difficult for him to maintain his Nen defense at all times.

Therefore, when surrounded, injury is inevitable.

But he didn't care at all.

"Pfft!"

The red and white brain matter burst forth like fireworks, lingering briefly in the air.

Following closely behind was a headless corpse that had been knocked down and trampled on the ground.

"No. 673."

Moro, covered in thick blood, looked like a visitor from hell, calmly counting the number of puppets he had killed after the upgrade.

"Lv.91→Lv.92"

He leveled up again, just as he killed the 673rd victim.

The previously depleted potential energy has been revitalized with the upgrade.

This gave him a slight boost of spirits.

"Shall we begin the third round...?"

Moro paid no attention to his numerous wounds. After leveling up and recovering, he condensed a Star of Essence in his palm.

Snapped.

He casually pressed the Star of Despair onto the face of one of the victims.

As the emerald green energy burst forth, the victim's face suddenly caved in, and the vitality emanating from his body was transmitted to Moro remotely.

The healing energy seeped into Moro's body, and the wounds that had been accumulating during the chaotic battle were restored within seconds.

"Um!?"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yapu's expression changed slightly.

For a moment, he could hardly believe his eyes.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible..."

At this moment, a slight crack appeared in Xiao Yapufu's calm and composed demeanor.

"How could he possibly still have that much energy left?!"

The unexpected situation also began to shake Xiao Yapu's belief in his inevitable victory.

He was certain that Moro wouldn't last until now, let alone suddenly use his abilities to heal his injuries.

Running out of ammunition and supplies, they could collapse at any moment.

This is Moro's situation and current state.

From Xiao Yapuf's perspective, this situation is not a result of speculation or judgment, but an undeniable fact.

However, the most impossible thing in his eyes happened right before his eyes.

Xiao Yapufu couldn't help but show an expression of disbelief.

under.

Moro looked up and saw Oyapuf's reaction. "He should realize the problem too..."

A war of attrition based on sheer numbers is ineffective against Moro.

On the contrary, it will continuously weaken the life energy intensity of Xiaoyapf.

This point became apparent after Moro reached Lv.92.

In fact, if it weren't for the disadvantages on Mo Laowu's side, Moro would have considered whether to continue the act to prolong Xiao Yapuf's reaction time.

Now...

Starting a third round of monster-hunting and leveling up is unlikely to be a realistic idea.

Unless Xiao Yapuf doesn't believe in superstition.

But Moro knew that Oyapouf wouldn't do something so stupid.

"Then let's begin to 'test' the limits and possibilities of a single spark igniting a prairie fire."

The thought flashed through Moro's mind, and he immediately used his blitzkrieg power without hesitation to break free from the encirclement formed by the many victims, which resembled an ant colony.

"Sacrifice"

Retreating to a safe place, Moro looked up at Owl Yapf in the sky and directly used the activation conditions of Wildfire to sacrifice the star.

next moment.

A cluster of eerie blue flames suddenly erupted from Xiao Yapufu's right arm.

"Um!?"

The sudden turn of events quickly brought Xiao Yapufu back to his senses.

Moro glanced at the first spark that appeared on Owl Yapf and said calmly, "Ever since I witnessed your 'change,' I've been thinking about the constraints that come with these changes in your abilities."

"!!!"

Upon hearing Moro's words, Xiao Yapuf quickly shifted his gaze from Starfire to Moro's face, exclaiming in astonishment, "Thinking? You still have the energy to think? All those reactions you just had were an act?!"

"If I say yes, do you think you'll believe me?"

While keeping an eye on the movements of the victims, Moro subtly probed Xiao Yapuf with his words, saying:

"Why don't you use your scale powder ability to confirm it again and see what the difference is between me when I'm in an advantageous, even, or disadvantageous position?"

"..."

Xiao Yapuv's pupils contracted sharply.

Moro casually stretched out his right hand, his tone still as calm as water: "What, I deliberately chose a perfect spot where you can sprinkle powder with the wind."

Saying,

Moro beckoned with his index finger and said, "Come on."

"..."

The only response to Moro was a deathly silence from Xiao Yapuf, and a gloomy expression that seemed to drip water.

He was struggling to suppress the emotions that were about to explode inside his chest.

He wanted to roar, to vent his anger.

But he couldn't do that.

That would only make him lose even more thoroughly in areas where he has an inflated sense of self-importance.

This confrontation is not over yet!
Moro seemed to sense the suppressed emotions in Shayapuf's eyes, and slowly lowered his hand, calmly saying:

"Don't you want to do this... With your extremely controlling personality, once the situation gets out of control, and there's another opportunity to easily check the situation, how could you possibly let it go? But your response is silence."

At this point, Moro gave Xiaoyapuf a contemptuous smile.

"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I simply can't do it."

"..."

Xiao Yapuf's eyes grew increasingly sinister as he subtly glanced at the large number of victims below.

He simply can't do it now.

Because he had already parasitized the victims with the maximum number of scale fragments.

Unless Moro kills a group of victims and he stops replenishing himself with parasitic scales, he won't have the resources to use other abilities.

Before this, he never expected things to turn out this way.

Therefore, in order to maintain the intensity of the siege by the victims during the battle, he would immediately and without reservation replenish the number of victims whenever Morrow was clearing them out.

At most, only one slot should be reserved for a sub-identity locked by a star.

This leads to...

At the moment Morrow suddenly stopped attacking the victim, his powder clones were operating at their maximum capacity.

Furthermore, due to the limitation of being unable to reclaim his parasitic abilities, he can only use new scale clones once the victim completes a truly meaningful "sacrifice".

Although it's also possible to exploit the victims' life force, causing them to collapse on their own and thus reclaiming a larger number of scale fragment clones in a short period of time...

But he could tell that Moreau was testing something with his words.

Why would they lose their composure because of a few words from Moro?

Therefore, he could only suppress his emotions and remain silent while letting the victims continue to surround and attack Morrow according to the original action orders.

However, he secretly decided that once the first batch of victims had burned out their lives, he would not immediately parasitize them to replenish them, thus freeing up some of the available scale powder clones.

Yapf's silence would not affect Moro's judgment.

Although the personality theory of Nen users is not absolute...

But Moreau was able to understand or confirm the underlying character traits of others based on information from the original text.

Therefore, after several rounds of verbal probing, one can confirm the deduction in one's mind.

That is, after Xyapuf uses scale powder to create parasitic puppets, he cannot flexibly retrieve them.

Having confirmed this, Morrow could confidently test the limits of the "Spark" ability.

Although some of this had already been confirmed in Yupi, Shayapov's ability to "align the interests of the main body and the clone" can be considered new material.

Upon reaching this point, Moro looked at the sacrificial victims who were already burning out their lives and charged forward, and immediately condensed a ball of fluorescent green psychic energy in his palm.

This time,
It's also a split attack from flying stars.

However, the number of splits is no longer reduced intentionally to ensure the killing power.

Instead, it is about abandoning power and blindly pursuing the number of divisions.

Nen ability...

The application method can be adjusted in a targeted manner according to changes in the situation.

This is a force of freedom.

"Deceptive Flying Star - Split Bow"

Moro threw away the fluorescent green flying star that had been condensed.

When Xiao Yapu saw the intensity of life energy contained in that flying star, his face couldn't help but twist slightly.

Why, why...

How can he still unleash such a powerful attack?!
Xiao Yapuf kept questioning himself in his mind.

He couldn't understand.

At this moment, they also let go of the deep-seated human pride that was meaningless to the future of the ant colony.

If we truly have no way to deal with this human, then...

Let's team up with Neferpitou.

Just as Xiao Yapuf was thinking this, the rising star split into countless tiny points of light under his gaze.

This instantly reminded him of Long Xingyu, who had attacked the palace at the beginning.

wrong.

These points of light were only the size of marbles, smaller and weaker than those dragon arrows.

So what does he want to do?
Xiao Yapuf was immediately filled with doubt.

Such a powerful, dispersed attack could not possibly cause any harm to the victims who had already blossomed into life.

His doubts were quickly answered.

Countless bullets, like marbles, rained down on the throngs of victims.

Indeed, it shattered in a seemingly meaningless way, just like raindrops, without even affecting the charge of the fallen.

but--

Without warning, a second, third, fourth, and fifth cluster of sparks ignited on Xiao Yapuf's body...

"What!?"

The sudden turn of events startled Xiao Yapufu, who was completely bewildered by what had happened and lacked any intuitive understanding of the eerie blue flames.

And at this moment,
Upon seeing this, Moro's eyes gleamed with an inexplicable light.

Nen ability, how interesting.
