Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 50: Mistakenly Found x Moonlight Attack
"Benjamin's manifestation of energy is around Lv40..."

Retreating into the forest, Moro immediately turned around and quickened his pace away from the lake.

The group of Nen users he met after his death and rebirth, as well as the significant changes in the amount of power brought about after each upgrade, gave Moro a relatively clear understanding of "level".

Using his own "manifested temperament" as a reference, he roughly assessed Benjamin's level to be around 40.

Experienced Nen masters have their own way of assessing the level of their enemies.

Some people would use the mission rating to preliminarily determine the opponent's level, while others would use the most intuitive numbers or the monster classes in the game...

Everyone has their own style.

But the common point of all methods is that the assessor has rich experience.

What Moreau lacks most now is experience. The reason why he was able to come up with an assessment result is because the tree ring tattoo has digitized his level of magnanimity.

With your own level data as a reference, you will naturally have a general assessment direction.

Morrow's assessment result for Benjamin was Lv.40. He had no idea whether it was accurate or not, but he was certain that Benjamin's manifestation of magnanimity was one level higher than his.

Although the strength of the displayed energy cannot fully represent the actual combat power of a Nen user...

But this is the most basic information that both sides can directly observe with the naked eye before formal contact.

In Moro's eyes, Benjamin had been calm and composed since he appeared, but his mental energy had not slackened at all, and even remained strong.

It is precisely because of this that Moreau directly labeled Benjamin as a hypocrite.

Since he didn't want to cause any trouble, it was naturally impossible for him to stay there.

However, Moreau still envied the knife Benjamin took out to chop corners.

It was not entirely because of the spiritual energy lingering on the red crystal blade, but also because of the sharpness of the boning knife itself.

Morrow was certain that when Benjamin was using the knife to cut corners, he did not use the "circle" to increase the strength of the knife.

This is enough to prove the quality of that boning knife.

Moro thought that if he had the chance in the future, he would also carry a small knife of similar quality.

squeak-

Stepping on the wet rotten leaves and branches, Moro walked through the woods, looking back in the direction of the lake from time to time.

Because of Benjamin's sudden appearance, he was unable to carefully choose the direction of travel and could only retreat directly into the woods based on the situation at the time.

Now that we have entered the woods, we might as well just continue along this route.

I walked quickly for several kilometers. As the density of trees increased, visibility in the forest decreased at a rate visible to the naked eye, and it was difficult to see a ray of moonlight.

Moreau took a flashlight from his backpack and continued on his way.

It has to be said that the appearance of several poachers solved the most difficult problem for him at the moment, allowing him to not have to worry about survival supplies in a short period of time, and also provided him with various practical tools.

Don't underestimate the wild areas of this world, especially those areas that have not been fully explored by humans, such as forests, mountains, grasslands, deserts, etc., which are all full of danger.

Not to mention all kinds of surreal monsters and animals, it is possible that an inconspicuous poisonous insect can take your life silently.

In this kind of environment, professional knowledge is often more important than the ability to read.

Moro had basically no experience in surviving in the wild. After traveling through time, he spent most of his time running the antique shop.

After coming into contact with trading partners who could tell all kinds of lies without blushing or beating their hearts, he once thought that these creatures with a face knew best how to eat a person alive.

But when you get to the dense forest where the wild atmosphere is extremely strong, you really have to worry about being eaten alive.

The light from the flashlight penetrated the darkness nearby, but was swallowed up by the darkness in the distance.

The information that the eyes and ears can receive is, without exception, darkness, dampness, and dead silence...

Discomforting.

Moro felt that he had to get out of the forest as soon as possible, and unknowingly, he was speeding up.

While moving, while remaining alert at all times, it will also intermittently release "circles" in order to more specifically explore the surrounding situation.

The radius of his circle is only twenty meters.

Moreover, the circle technique is a very physically and mentally exhausting technique and cannot be used continuously at a high intensity.

If Moro uses it intermittently, he can keep his physical and mental strength in a stable state.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but I could finally see moonlight shining through the gaps in the treetops on the road, indicating that the density of trees was decreasing.

Bathed in silvery rays of light, Moro sped up again and soon saw more light between the sparse trees ahead, as well as the vaguely visible surface of the lake.

Then Moreau involuntarily slowed down his pace and turned off the flashlight.

“Have I gone in a circle?”

Seeing the lake again, Moreau wondered if he was lost, causing him to circle around in the forest and return to the original lake.

In order to confirm the situation, Moro closed his sperm orifice and entered the state of "absoluteness". Then he walked as lightly as possible and slowly came to the edge of the woods.

In the distance, silvery light falls on the lake, and when the evening breeze blows, the lake sparkles.

Moreau stood behind a tree, observing the situation on the shore. He did not see the bodies of Benjamin and the poachers, and the surrounding terrain and vegetation were different.

This is another lake.

Moro relaxed a little, then frowned again.

There was a weeping willow tree covered with vines on the shore of the lake, about two hundred meters away from where he was.

Moreau stared at the tree with scattered vines. He could clearly see seven motionless figures and a person sitting against the trunk.

"That is……"

With his pupils slightly contracted, Moro slowly closed the distance along the edge of the woods.

As the distance got closer, he could see the spiritual energy of the seven people more clearly.

Very weak...

And those seven people looked a little weird, like lifeless puppets.

This was Moreau's first impression.

Just as he was looking down and preparing to observe the man in front of the tree trunk, he suddenly noticed something strange.

Under the moonlight, the seven people standing still had no shadows.

Seeing this scene, Moro's eyes changed, and he instantly confirmed the identity of the man in front of the tree trunk.

The phenomenon of shadowless operating ability must be the one who controls the passengers on the airship.

Moro stared at the spiritual energy flowing like water waves on the body of the operator, and when he thought of the other party's targeted actions, a hint of murderous intent suddenly flashed through his mind.

He didn't expect that the route he was forced to choose in order to stay away from Benjamin would lead him to meet the operator who had also made an emergency landing in the forest.

It was really a coincidence.

Moreau resisted the urge to get any closer, as that might expose him.

Although the current distance exceeds 100 meters, the return mechanism of Flying Star can be utilized.

"Flying Star of Fraud"

After finding the right angle, Moro could no longer suppress the urge to attack. He immediately mobilized his mental energy and shot two flying stars behind him.

After a while.

The returning flying star passed over Moro who had just made an evasive action, and flew through the moonlight towards the figure in front of the weeping willow tree.

In front of the tree trunk.

Lu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and looked in the direction where the flying star came from. A ray of light was reflected in his agitated eyes.

Almost at the same time.

The seven puppet humans who were instilled with protection instructions all rushed to Lu Yuan and turned into a thick wall, blocking Feixing's attack route.

next moment.

Two huge flying stars hit the human wall and suddenly exploded.

With a loud noise, the human wall that had been tightly packed together suddenly tore apart. Instantly, bloody limbs and arms fell onto the grass, and the thick blood crushed the grass leaves.

Lu Yuan looked at the broken limbs and arms scattered all over the ground, and his pupils trembled.

The puppet human that was saved with great difficulty was shattered so easily.

When his emotions suddenly became agitated, Lu Yuan stood up and drew his sword. He looked towards the woods, but quickly calmed down.

As his emotions were under control, the mental energy emanating from him gradually became less messy and loose.

"Ok?"

Then, Lu Yuan saw Moro stepping out of the woods. He was surprised at first, and then his face turned cold: "I haven't looked for you yet, but you took the initiative to come to my door..."

"Ninja?"

Moro walked in the moonlight and was surprised when he saw Lu Yuan's outfit.

A black hood and mask, and a black corset...

This is a very ninja-style outfit.

But this person who seems to be a ninja is holding a samurai sword.

Facing Moro's scrutinizing gaze, Lu Yuan had no intention of speaking anymore. He held the sword across his body, ready to attack.

The prerequisite for activating Shadow of No Return is that there must be ordinary people around as the material for this ability.

Naturally, there would be no ordinary people in a place like this, which also meant that Lu Yuan could not use his ability of Shadow No Return.

Many times, the limitations of the ability of Nen itself will always cause trouble for the user of Nen.

Although you can always try to circumvent it subjectively, or even take advantage of the constraints...

But there will always be times when you're unlucky, or when you're targeted by enemies who know the intelligence.

Since Lu Yuan couldn't use his abilities, he had to return to his original way of fighting.

But a doubt flashed through his mind, wondering why the other party's energy suddenly became much stronger.

As soon as this doubt arose, he suppressed it and focused all his attention on the task assigned by the leader.

next second.

Lu Yuan rushed forward, his body pointing at Morro in front of the woods like a sharp knife.

The fate of the puppet wall gave him a basic understanding of the lethality of Moro's mind bullets, and he directly determined Moro's mind system.

Under this situation, shortening the distance and engaging in close combat became Lu Yuan's only option.

Just when Lu Yuan had reduced the distance to Moro by half, he suddenly noticed a fluorescent green bullet the size of a basketball flying out from the woods behind Moro.

“How could this be…?”

Lu Yuan was slightly startled, and saw the mental bullet and Moro's body intersecting and attacking him head-on.

In a flash, Lu Yuan swung his sword and slashed at the bullet.

He actually used the condensed mental energy wrapped around the blade to cut the mental bullet into two halves.

Bang bang!

The split mental bullet landed on the lake surface, creating two huge splashes of water.

While Lu Yuan was swinging his sword to cut the flying stars, Moro stopped where he was, raised his hands flat, and without paying any attention to the consumption of his mental energy, he released flying stars one after another.

Now that he has reached level 18, he has made significant progress in the speed of releasing mind bombs, and as long as he controls the size of the flying stars, he can fire continuously and stably.

Boo hoo hoo...!
In just one second, more than ten flying stars shot towards Lu Yuan who was dozens of meters away.

"Both the power and the size have been reduced!"

Seeing more than ten flying stars the size of eggs attacking one after another, Lu Yuan's eyes became sharp, but he did not retreat but instead advanced and rushed towards the flying stars.

laugh--

Lu Yuan swung his sword to cut the first two flying stars, and then moved his body while rushing to avoid the remaining flying stars.

However, as he charged, Moro did not stop releasing his abilities, and flying stars kept shooting out from the palms of his raised hands.

However, the density and power of these flying stars were not enough to confine Lu Yuan in place, they could only delay the speed of the impact.

30 meters, 20 meters...

The distance between the two sides is gradually narrowing.

But as a release type, Moro didn't care about Shikahara's approaching.

According to the stereotype, it seems that if you release the system, you must prevent the enemy from getting close to you.

In fact, this statement is not absolute.

Take Franklin from the Phantom Troupe as an example. He is a user who can unleash the full power of the Release and Strengthening abilities.

Therefore, even if he loses the advantage brought by distance, he can still fight Nobunaga, who is also a reinforcement type, in close combat.

Unlike Franklin, Moreau's emphasis in the conception system is more inclined to be between the release system and the operation system.

But being forced into close combat...

Although Morrow couldn't fight with a 100% enhanced attack and defense conversion rate like Franklin, he also had a way to deal with it, which was...

The return of flying stars.

Ten, twenty, thirty, forty...

Among the numerous flying stars, some were chopped off by Lu Yuan's sword, but most were dodged.

The flying stars that Lu Yuan dodged were frozen in the air behind Lu Yuan like stars.

Moro can freely adjust the time of Flying Star's return between 1 and 5 seconds.

This also means that as long as he sets the return time of all flying stars in a decreasing manner, he can make all flying stars turn back together after 5 seconds.

However, there are too many flying stars, which results in the power being dispersed...

This inevitable mechanism from the mind ability system can be supplemented by oaths and constraints.

Under the constraint of "self-injury", the flying star can double its power when it turns back, which to a certain extent crushes the mechanism of power dispersion.

This is the uniqueness of Feixing.

This is also the intuitive change that Moro can experience in battle after reaching level 18.

When the set time arrived, Lu Yuan finally stepped within a distance of ten meters.

At this moment, the many flying stars hovering behind Lu Yuan all turned back at an even faster speed and shot towards Lu Yuan who was standing in the same straight line as Moro.

In an instant, it was like a meteor shower!

When Lu Yuan realized something was wrong, it was already too late.

Because Lu Yuan was not aware of the ability mechanism of "Returning Flying Star will hurt Moro", and Moro never stopped releasing the flying stars.

This is a double-sided attack!

More importantly, an operating system that cannot use telekinesis is like a beast without claws.

Lu Yuan stopped suddenly, and when he looked back, the starry sky was reflected in his pupils.

puff puff puff...

Meteor-like mental bullets bombarded Lu Yuan's body one after another.

The continuous impact force caused Lu Yuan's body to vibrate back and forth, and in just a moment, his entire body was covered in wounds.

"I actually... would fail..."

After the meteor shower, Lu Yuan fell to the ground with a look of unwillingness on his face.

Moro looked at Lu Yuan who was lying on the ground, and subconsciously wanted to fire a few flying stars at him, but when he saw the level of the tattoo on the back of his hand change, he stopped thinking about finishing him off.

Lv.18 → Lv.22
Raised 4 levels in one fell swoop...
