Hunter x Hunter: Card Master, the Strongest in the World.

Chapter 109 Giant Chopper! Illumi's Shock!

Meanwhile, seeing that Lynn's situation was not good, Chopper became increasingly anxious. With a determined look in his eyes, he made a plan.

"Rumble Ball!" Chopper roared, pulled out a golden pill, put it in his mouth, and then crushed it hard. The violent drug power suddenly swept over every corner of Chopper's body.

Chopper's body began to swell rapidly, his size increasing like an inflating balloon, and his body hair grew wildly like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. A flash of scarlet appeared in his eyes before he regained his senses.

It has never given up on developing the Rumble Ball. To this day, it can enter a giant state for five minutes by taking the Rumble Ball, but if it exceeds this time, it may go crazy and cause considerable damage to its body.

Because this is an underground base, Chopper can't fight freely, so he can only grow to six or seven meters tall, and his strength temporarily increases.

"roar!!"

Chopper roared suddenly, making a deafening sound.

The terrifying sound waves created a shockwave, startling Shui Wu, who was hidden in the water mist—how did it turn into a monster?

This is bad!

He could have continued to maneuver through the foggy environment, but with the enemy growing to a gigantic size, his worries about Mizunashi being able to hit him with any attack soon came true.

Chopper raised his enormous paw and slammed it down on the ground.

boom!

The floor of the hall suddenly caved in, and thick smoke and dust mixed with countless pebbles shot into the sky. The aftershocks seemed to spread throughout the entire underground base.

The astonishing shockwave instantly dispersed the mist created by Mizunashi, and because the environmental conditions were not met, Mizunashi's figure was exposed to Chopper's view.

"Finally—you're out!" Chopper's deep, resonant voice reached Mizuna's ears, especially his beastly eyes, which made the latter tremble involuntarily.

Immediately, Chopper slammed his hands into the ground. Although he had grown to a gigantic size and his strength had increased, his speed and reaction time had inevitably decreased. Nami had no choice but to dodge desperately, as if he were playing a game of whack-a-mole.

In the end, faced with the gigantic Chopper, Mizu had nowhere to dodge and was suddenly sent flying, crashing through several walls before his life was cut off!

Having overcome the obstacle in front of him, Chopper quickly took advantage of the remaining time to help Lynn relieve some of the pressure.

With a swipe of its paw, the dog god below hurriedly dodged to the side, and in an instant, the spot where it had just been was destroyed.

"That piece of trash, Mizunashi!" Inugami cursed, gripping his long sword with both hands as he faced Chopper, who had joined the battle.

Now he has to hold the monster back, and then the Zoldycks can deal with Lynn!

Just as Illumi was about to continue, his instincts kicked in again, and he quickly used his family's footwork to dodge to the side.

After a short period of practice, Illumi has gradually figured out Capone's attack methods and timing, making it easier to predict his moves in advance.

In particular, although Capone's body is invisible, there are still subtle movements when he makes a move, which gives the enemy a chance to react.

In addition, large-scale attacks, blood on the ground, dust and debris will also reveal the outline of the invisible person, or you can focus on using the [Circle] to explore. If you are determined, you can still find their whereabouts.

Lynn took in the whole scene. It seems that the B+ snake charm is more suitable for the initial sneak attack. If it drags on for too long, the opponent will easily discover the clues.

At that moment, Gengar also sent a message.

The battle on Amy's side was far more intense than his, both in terms of the number of people and their strength.

For example, Bisge is currently fighting against another enemy with the help of unfamiliar allies. The fact that Bisge, even with the help of others, has been unable to defeat him for so long suggests that he is likely an A+ level powerhouse.

Gai Lu and Kang Zai were also locked in a fierce battle, with neither side able to gain the upper hand.

It's clear that we can't count on Bisgey.

Chopper's transformation state has a time limit, and due to terrain limitations, he cannot fully unleash his power.

Well, trump cards are meant to be used.

According to the rules of the Zoldyck Brotherhood, if he doesn't demonstrate strength beyond the mission's standards, or directly defeat him, Illumi will probably keep bothering him.

While reacting, Illumi raised his hand and fired several Nen nails, which Capone forcibly intercepted with Armament Haki, but this also allowed Illumi to further pinpoint their exact location.

This is a good opportunity.

Illumi caught a glimpse of Lynn's weakened state due to the intense battle.

If he makes his move now, he has a very good chance of succeeding.

However, Lynn's head was covered by a sturdy ice helmet, while his chest and abdomen were relatively more vulnerable.

So Illumi feigned an attack on Capone, but actually threw several Nen nails at Lynn, while simultaneously unleashing a disturbing Nen aura that transformed into afterimages as he rapidly approached.

A barrage of psychic spikes, along with the charging Illumi, created a terrifying double threat that engulfed Lynn.

In his haste, Lynn could only hasten to conjure an ice shield in front of him.

boom!

The mental spikes pierced through the ice shield, and the fierce spikes also landed on Lynn's ice armor, making a crisp sound.

A large amount of ice shards and fragments burst open, creating obvious cracks and revealing Lynn's original body underneath.

The outcome is already decided.

Illumi remained calm and composed, only thinking to himself.

At his speed, the invisible man couldn't possibly catch up, nor could he hinder him. Therefore, Lynn had no means to resolve the threat posed by him at this moment.

Seeing this, he didn't react much. After all, he had completed so many tasks, and today was just another one.

He wouldn't even remember the name Lynn.

He was just an exorcist whose abilities exceeded the intelligence.

In a flash, Illumi appeared beside Lynn, his right hand forming a palm blade, as if the sharpest blade was about to strike Lynn's neck. He could already picture the head flying into the sky.

But something seemed off—Illumi frowned slightly as he looked at Lynn's slightly panicked face.

For some reason, he felt a sense of unease deep down.

This made him, who had an extreme need for control, very uncomfortable.

The next moment, a light green protective shield with no blind spots rose out of thin air centered on Lynn. Illumi's hand slash arrived as expected, but it landed on the protective shield.

The protective shield wobbled slightly, but did not shatter completely.

One of the most powerful Pokémon moves: Protect!

This is the skill Gengar used when it returned to Lynn's shadow.

In the game, Protect guarantees absolute defense for one turn, but in reality, it's different. For example, a B+ rank Gengar using Protect at full power can definitely withstand one attack from an A rank or lower, but using it multiple times in a short period will reduce the success rate.

Therefore, it should be used at crucial moments, such as now!

Illumi's pupils contracted slightly. It was clearly just a thin protective shield, yet it managed to withstand his powerful attack.

At the same time, Lynn used [Solo Assistance], instantly boosting his strength by two small stages, directly reaching A+ rank!

boom!

Lynn's lips curled up, and he unleashed a burst of incredibly pure Nen energy, not only fully recovering his strength but also becoming several times stronger than before!

It was the same familiar feeling. Every part of my body had inexhaustible power. My body seemed to have been tempered for many years, and my spiritual energy was incredibly solid, turning into an amazing ball of light. Anyone who looked directly at it would feel a pain as if a thousand needles were pricking their eyes.

"You had a great time playing just now, didn't you?"

"Now it's my turn!"

Lynn whispered, and the air seemed to be filled with black and red lightning, and the hall was filled with Nen containing a strong sense of malice. Even the dog god who was busy fighting Chopper showed a look of surprise.

How is that possible!

How could that exorcist unleash such power?

Inugami was in a state of confusion and inevitably revealed a weakness, which was then seized by Chopper, who swatted him away with a single paw!

At this moment, Illumi, who was closest to Lynn, was most acutely aware of the impact.

Illumi's usually expressionless, icy face finally showed an extremely obvious look of horror, and alarm bells rang in his mind.

A voice inside him kept repeating itself, urging him to run!

This was a belief he always adhered to as an assassin: if something was impossible, he should withdraw immediately; an assassin doesn't need to risk his life fighting.

This strength—is probably about the same as Grandpa's.

The next moment, Lynn, who had transformed into an invincible war god, was expressionless and simply threw a punch. The movement seemed slow, but when it landed on Illumi, it was over in an instant.

boom!

Visibly, Illumi's abdomen caved in deeply, and he flew backward like a cannonball, even more powerful than Mizunashi before, crashing through several walls in succession.

Finally, he collapsed, battered and bruised, amidst the rubble of the collapsed wall.

"This is impossible!" Illumi braced himself against the ground with his right hand, enduring the excruciating pain as he stood up. His brain was overwhelmed by a massive amount of information, leaving him feeling confused, worried, and angry.

Illumi is a very controlling person, not only in the things he likes, such as his younger brother Killer, but also in the battles he usually fights.

As an assassin, you must be absolutely certain before you make a move; either don't make a move at all, or make a move and eliminate the enemy!

Whenever a mission is assigned, the entire process, from start to finish, must be under complete control.

For example, in this mission to hunt down Lynn, although there were many discrepancies between the intelligence and the actual situation, he still trusted his own judgment.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and he chose the enemy he least wanted to be an enemy of.

At his most confident moment, Lynn unleashed his A+ strength with his trump card, punching him so hard that he was reminded of the painful memories of being beaten by Silva when he was a child, almost causing him to have a replay of his own rage.

Illumi forced himself to sit up and narrowed his eyes as he watched Lynn approach step by step, exuding an astonishing aura like a demon god.

He guessed that Lynn must have set some kind of strict constraints and oaths in order to achieve this huge promotion.

He is now severely injured and in extremely poor condition. There are only two ways to break the deadlock: use his identity to prevent the other party from killing him, or use the same constraints and oaths to try to fight back.

However, the latter method is really not good enough. Such a constraint and oath will most likely come at the cost of life, and the result is not much different.
