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

What a monster!

Eugene, who was "watching the show," stared at Sluk with his mouth agape in astonishment.

He could tell that the ice eagle that "Franklin" had just used was definitely powerful; even if he had to take it by force, it would have consumed a lot of his Nen energy.

What about Kosluk?

It stubbornly ate two eagles, and then recovered completely in an instant.

Such terrifying recovery ability will put immense psychological pressure on the enemy.

It's hard to imagine that such a monster exists in the world.

If it were him, he probably would have turned around and run away immediately.

Franklin's continued presence was quite remarkable.

Eugene didn't think Franklin could defeat this monster, and couldn't help but think to himself, "Today has been incredibly dangerous."

I thought I was the strongest, but I found out that Maggio was even stronger.

It seemed like Maggio was going to win, but Franklin turned the tables and killed him.

Shouldn't this be the end of the matter?

Sluk has stepped forward again, his true nature an unkillable monster, and Franklin will most likely not escape death.

The ultimate winner is the monster that hid the deepest.

Reversal, reversal, and more reversal.

"That really hurt!" Sluk's face writhed like countless earthworms, making a grating sound. "That makes me even more pleased with you."

"Stop resisting, just let me become you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sluk raised his hands, and countless vines shot out, instantly spanning more than ten meters and flying to Lynn's front.

So fast!

Lynn raised an eyebrow, took a sudden step, and used the recoil to retreat to the side.

[Six Styles • Shaving]!

The vines that had been shot through landed on the ice wall behind them, leaving deep holes; each shot was more terrifying than a bullet.

When facing unknown disasters, try to avoid being hit if possible.

Who knows if Sluk's vines are poisonous or have other additional effects? Many [Disasters] can kill on sight, so it's normal to die after being hit once.

Seeing Lynn dodge, Sluk was not angry, but continued to pursue relentlessly, with vines shooting out seemingly endlessly.

Lynn dodged while trying to retaliate, his hands constantly wielding his Nen.

The ground trembled, and walls of ice rose from the ground.

The vines that land on it can only pierce it just enough to give way to nothing.

Soon, ice walls rose up inside the ice cave, and Lynn and Chopper disappeared from Sluk's sight.

"What is this? A last-ditch effort?" Sluk scoffed, continuing to fire vines at a high frequency.

All we need to do is smash these annoying ice walls into dust!

As vines shattered the ice walls, more and more ice shards appeared on the ground, and ice fog gradually rose into the air, reducing visibility.

Unbeknownst to them, during this dodging process, the distance between Lynn and Sluk was constantly closing.

Finally, during one of Sluk's attacks on the ice wall in the opposite direction, Lynn seized the opportunity to rush out from the corner, his hands in a gesture of readiness to attack.

"You fooled me!" Sluk grinned maliciously, as several vines suddenly shot out from his waist...

In fact, it can shoot vines from anywhere on its body; it was deliberately creating an illusion by using its hands.

The next moment, Sluk's smile froze.

Lynn was instantly pierced by the vines, and multiple holes appeared in his body, making his death a gruesome sight.

But a second later, the lifelike Lynn turned into a shattered ice sculpture, scattering into ice fragments and disappearing.

【Ice-like Design • Clone】!

Is this fake?

Where is it really?

Sluk panicked. Footsteps sounded behind it. In its haste, it turned around while launching its vine attack.

Chopper, with his barrel-shaped waist and contortionist skills, came into view. Chopper's eyes narrowed, and he lightly leaped to dodge the vine attack, then immediately attacked its waist.

In mid-air, Lynn placed his hands on the eagle's claws, then released them and descended from the sky, condensing a large amount of cold air that rushed straight towards Sluk's head!

The previous clones were just bait!

An attack from both the air and the ground is the surest kill!

Although there are still some potential risks, we have no choice but to give it a try.

While launching the sneak attack, Lynn was also worried about Chopper.

Because card characters can also die, but fortunately they can be resurrected.

There is no cost when a card character is first activated, but after the first death, it requires enough Nen to be infused before it can be reactivated.

For example, if Chopper, who is B-rank, dies, then he needs to have around B-rank strength to reactivate him.

Each time a character dies, the required Nen energy doubles. After dying several times, the required Nen energy becomes astronomical, which is equivalent to permanent death.

Therefore, Lynn cherishes his cards and tries to prevent the characters from dying if possible.

Kaka-

Lynn's attack came first.

Sluk began to freeze from his head, and the ice spread to other parts of his body, as if he were about to be completely frozen.

On the other side, Chopper also used all his strength to strike Sluk's waist.

【Carved Cherry Blossom】!

boom!

Sluk, who had been frozen in ice, exploded instantly.

Countless fragments of vines scattered, accompanied by shimmering, bright ice crystals; the scene itself was quite magnificent and moving.

"Success?" Eugene, standing not far away, stared wide-eyed.

Could it be that Franklin and his pet really killed the monster?

It's all shattered into pieces, it can't possibly be restored, can it?

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.

These vines, which had been briefly separated, seemed to be magnetically drawn together in the air, and upon landing, they instantly coalesced into the original form of Sluk.

Before it was even fully formed, Sluk's voice came out first.

"You really surprise me time and time again."

"Not bad, not bad either. I'll have a good taste of your pet too."

"No matter how much you struggle, your fate is sealed!"

In fact, Sluk himself secretly thought it was a close call.

It was almost gone, but Franklin's attack method was ice!

Perhaps because it was born in an ice and snow maze, it naturally has a strong resistance to ice, which is why it was able to heal itself normally.

Its greatest fear is fire; once it gets entangled in flames, it's in big trouble.

The teamwork just now was excellent. If Franklin's power was fire, he would probably be dead by now.

"Lynn, what should we do?" Chopper stood beside Lynn, looking at Sluk who had returned to normal, his face grave.

Lynn's heart sank, but she didn't speak directly.

[Disaster] As expected of [Disaster], the fighting never ends.

But no matter what it is, there will always be a solution.

For example, Slug's healing ability has a limit; as long as you kill it repeatedly, you can eventually wear it down.

But this move was too risky. He didn't have much spiritual energy, and among the advanced application techniques, he had only learned [Condensation] and [Firmness], and hadn't even had time to truly master [Flow].

If it weren't for the B-rank [Ice Shaping Magic] boosting his strength, his strength rating might not even be B-.

The Ice Shape magic consumed a lot of energy, and he ran out of energy before he could wear down Sluk.

So, only one method remains!

I'm betting it's afraid of fire!

Lynn recalled how, when attacked by mosquitoes, Sluk had been very agitated and kept his distance from the flames of the blond-haired Shado.

It's perfectly normal for vines to be afraid of fire.

As for why he's not popular right now? No problem, his cards are popular!

He had previously notified Capone via telepathy to prepare, including manpower, firearms, flamethrowers, and so on.

One last gamble, if we can't win, we'll back down!

If he succeeds... he can't even imagine what kind of cards he could get!

"What's wrong? Scared?" Sluk laughed wildly. "I've told you countless times, you can't possibly beat me!"

"That's not necessarily true." Lynn's eyes flickered slightly as he flipped over a card. "I'm waiting for time. What are you waiting for?"
