"So you're a Conjuration type, and you appeared on an island of Conjuration types," Jingyang murmured. "Six islands, one inside and one outside, each corresponding to one of the six major Nen systems? What do you mean? Does it mean that different Nen systems receive different treatment upon swearing an oath?"
He lifted his foot and drew six concentric arcs side by side on the ground. The outermost layer was the island of manipulation they were standing on. From the outside in, they were the island of release, the island of enhancement, the island of transformation, the island of materialization, "...and the small island at the very center, the island of specialization."
Jing Yang stared at the simplified map and muttered, "Putting the Specialization system in the very center makes it hard not to feel that the strange black mist on this island, and the troublesome so-called oaths, are all strange things about this Specialization system island in the very center... Is there something unclean there?"
He looked at Kate.
Kate said, "The key to leaving this island safely may lie there."
"Great minds think alike!" Jing Yang snapped his fingers and jumped onto the raft below. "Let's go then!"
"You're a hunter too?" Kate jumped down, pressing her hat down as she landed on the raft, causing the waves to surge.
"It will be like that in the future!" Jing Yang laughed heartily, snapped his fingers to gather his spiritual energy, and flicked it towards the shore. Boom!
The explosive force of the finger-flicking technique created waves that propelled them and their raft toward the island of release in the depths.
Kate glanced back and suddenly asked, "Since you haven't sworn an oath, how were you able to ignore the fog on the island, leave, and even see other islands?"
"Isn't it simple to swear an oath?"
Jing Yang, standing on the raft, thought for a moment and said, "Since I'm a manipulation-type user, let's make a manipulation-based oath—I want my Qi to be able to freely manipulate seawater! But the limitation is that it can only be used within the sea area of this strange archipelago that makes you want to punch some old bastard. That's a big enough restriction, isn't it?"
Black mist surged on the sea surface, accompanied by painful murmurs that seemed to come and go. Jingyang sensed that something had changed as he finished speaking.
He squatted down beside the raft and reached out to touch the seawater.
Touched by the psychic energy in his hand, the seawater, like swallows returning to their nests, obediently followed him, being dragged backwards and commanded at will.
Jingyang made a feinting gesture, and a ball of seawater the size of his head suddenly contracted, its volume visibly compressed, and then rapidly froze into a block of ice due to the high pressure.
As Jing Yang withdrew his control, the sea ice quickly expanded again, turning back into a liquid mass that fell into the undulating seawater.
"Tsk! Interesting."
Jing Yang was very interested and took a step. The moment the sea surface touched the energy on the sole of his shoe, he felt it compress and condense into ice. The seawater below was also surging up, forming an upward lifting force... Jing Yang took several steps in a row and actually walked on the sea surface as if walking on flat ground!
Kate watched Jingyang pacing back and forth on the sea, thinking to herself, "So this is the power of the oath achieved by using the mist? This guy adapts way too fast..."
Jingyang had a lot of fun, but was also a little bored. "It's a pity that we can only play around here and can't take it out. It's really not very satisfying!"
He looked at the swirling black mist on the sea, "Can I take back a move? It would be better if it could only be used in the waters between the six continents..."
That's just talk.
If it's changed this way, the severity of the constraints and restrictions will decrease, and the effectiveness of the oath ability he can gain in return will inevitably decrease as well.
Perhaps it could still be exchanged for the ability to control water, but it certainly wouldn't be as easy to manipulate seawater as it is now, or even to walk on the sea surface as if it were flat land.
Jing Yang had no doubt that if he pretended to cast a water-avoidance spell, he could somehow get into the East Sea Dragon Palace... if the East Sea Dragon Palace was located directly below him on the seabed.
"What about you?"
Jingyang walked casually across the sea with his hands in his pockets, heading towards the Release Island. "Since you were able to leave the Manifestation Island and come here, you must have already made a vow, right?"
Kate stood on the raft and floated forward, running alongside Jingyang, saying, "I can materialize my Qi into a raft that can drift back and forth here, but I can only materialize it once."
Jingyang thought it over carefully, then gave a thumbs up, "Truly cunning."
……
“I can materialize air into a small boat, but I can only materialize it once.”
Kurapika muttered to himself at the edge of the black mist.
He stood on the edge of the island, holding the jade pendant with the character "神" in his hand. His eyes, like cones, looked into the distance. In the center of the sea, behind the original black mist, was a small island.
A triangular black shadow stands on the island, which appears to be a magnificent spire.
After a moment of silent contemplation, Kurapika stretched out his hand, and the aura he released actually materialized into a small boat.
With a splash, the small boat landed on the sea. Kurapika jumped aboard, grabbed a wooden oar, and rowed towards the small island with a spire ahead.
The 'Cone's' vision can ignore the interference of the black mist, but the 'Listening' in the ear makes the murmurs hidden in the black mist even clearer... Perhaps it is because the black mist was originally in the light, while the murmurs were hidden in the dark.
Kurapika left only the "cone" and focused on paddling. The island ahead was getting closer and closer. Unlike the roundabout on the opposite shore behind, this island seemed to be the only one that truly resembled an island, rather than the shape that Jingyang jokingly referred to as a "runway".
Before they even reached the shore, a dark shadow suddenly emerged from the waves beside them and attacked Kurapika.
"I'm a shark, I'll bite you to death!"
The shadowy figure, half its body covered in strange fish scales, hung dazedly in mid-air, gesticulating wildly at Kurapika on the small boat—the skeleton knight that appeared on Kurapika's body reached out and grabbed it.
Has he lost his mind? Kurapika observed the other person and thought he was probably a pitiful person driven mad by the oath of the Black Mist on the island.
Kurapika continued rowing, his skeletal hand, extending from his Nen, gripping the half-fishman-like figure. After landing, he tossed the person aside.
“This person is already dead, you'd better kill him.” A figure slowly emerged from the black mist ahead. “It’s better for him.” The figure, wearing a hood or something similar, smiled slightly at Kurapika.
Kurapika glanced at him, then at the towering spire behind him. Just then, the half-fishman, released by the skeletal hand, roared and scrambled toward the turban-wearing man.
boom!
Kurapika didn't even see the bandana man's movements. When the half-fishman was half a meter away from the bandana man, he suddenly flew backward, spitting blood as he fell back into the sea. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
The skeleton knight leaped into the air, clenched his fist, and sent the turban-wearing man flying from several meters away.
Kurapika stared at the other person expressionlessly. "What exactly is that tall tower in the back?"
The turban-wearing man was sent flying more than ten meters away. He stood upside down with his hands in his pockets, flipped over, and jumped up. To Kurapika's astonishment, the Nen aura around the turban-wearing man began to change, and an identical skeleton knight rose from the ground, also extending two large skeleton hands.
Seemingly finding two hands insufficient, the turbaned man raised an eyebrow, causing the skeleton knight's silhouette to tremble. He then extended another pair of arms, and with a bang, the two pairs of skeletal fists collided with each other.
The man in the turban smiled at the stunned Kurapika and said, "Your ability is quite good; it'll come in handy. My name is Ging, what's yours?"
……
Upon reaching the island of the Release System, Jingyang had barely taken two steps when an ominous aura suddenly began to swirl around them, drawing ever closer.
"What do you mean?"
Jing Yang wondered, "Does this place also randomly spawn monsters?"
Chapter 196 The Unsustainable
On the island of materialization, Shizuku stands on the shore, gazing outwards—the adjacent ring-shaped landmass must be an island of transformation.
Jingyang had already informed her of the relevant settings here through the monthly marker.
So, Suzaku should have been teleported to the same island as himself. Did he get lost?
Xiao Di didn't make any vows. She wore the Divine Jade Pendant and could already ignore the fog covering the islands by activating the 'Cone' and 'Listening', so there was no need for her to do anything extra.
She leaped into the sea.
While swimming breathlessly underwater, a thought struck her, and she caused the energy on her swaying feet to transform into several chainsaws of thought.
Buzz, buzz, buzz...
The chainsaw spun like a propeller, stirring up whirlpools of water behind her.
The tiny droplet was dragged backward by the water flow.
That's the opposite.
Xiao Di quickly changed the direction and angle of the chainsaw's rotation on her feet. The attraction created by the strong current under her feet slowly turned into a thrust, propelling her forward.
Not only that, Xiao Di reached out and conjured a bulging-eyed fish in the sea.
"Wow!"
The little droplet, its head resting on the chainsaw propeller, surfaced and swam forward, silently saying, "Bulging-eye fish, suck in the seawater in the straight line in front of me."
Whoohoo!
The bulging-eyed fish, drinking seawater ahead of the whale, seemed to be grasping an invisible rope, dragging the droplets forward.
Combined with the chainsaw propeller beneath her feet, the droplet's speed increased exponentially, shooting towards the Island of Changes like an arrow released from a bow.
……
"hehe!"
Jingyang couldn't help but smile.
Little Drop has quite a few whimsical ideas!
His sudden laughter made Kate glance at him.
Jing Yang solemnly pointed around and said, "Some demons and monsters dare to play tricks? I really want to laugh!"
There was a rustling sound all around, and black objects appeared one after another at the edge of the mist. They looked like human figures, but some of them did not have flesh and blood. Instead, they seemed to be made of pure air.
“These are the lingering resentments left behind by Nen users who died on this island in the past,” Kate said. “Perhaps they harbored resentment and resentment, or perhaps…”
Jingyang continued, "The problem lies with this island itself. Anyone who dies here will inevitably leave behind a death wish."
Those lingering ghostly figures emerged from the black mist. Those that resembled humans were alright, while those that didn't were truly bizarre. But they all shared an ominous aura, emitting whimpers and low growls as they slowly surrounded the two.
Jingyang rubbed his fist. "I'm not an exorcist, so why do I keep running into these kinds of resentful spirits? Is this never going to end?"
"give it to me."
As Kate spoke, she reached out and released a wisp of air, which materialized into a clown head-like object.
The clown's head floated to the side, and upon seeing the many ghostly figures around, it immediately cried out, "This is eerie! It's truly unsettling! Let's pick a good number and wipe them all out..."
Bang!
Suddenly, it burst out a puff of green smoke, and the number "2" appeared in its wide-open mouth. A huge scythe several meters long extended from its previously empty neck.
Kate gripped the scythe and said to Jingyang, "Jump into the sky in 3 seconds."
Hey, what are you doing?!
Is there some kind of Neferpitou on this island?!
Jingyang muttered to himself as Kate made her move—she swung the enormous, ridiculously large scythe around in a horizontal circle.
call!
The astonishing slash, at a height of 1 meter, swept across everything within a radius of several meters in a 360° arc. The lingering ghostly figures rushing towards them were all cut in half, then drifted away into wisps of black mist, seemingly merging into the pervasive fog.
"They lure people in and cause chaos. The lingering resentment they leave behind after death nourishes the black mist, making it self-sufficient!"
