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

Chapter 180 S-Rank Combat Power? A+ Rank King's Treasure!

the other side.

Faced with three identical Kuroro rushing towards him, Lynn remained calm, but he gathered a large amount of Nen energy in his hand into Hyōrinmaru, causing Hyōrinmaru to burst out with dazzling light.

So what if you have many clones?

A direct area attack is sufficient.

The next moment, Lynn suddenly swung his sword, and a powerful ice-blue sword aura swept away, causing the air temperature to drop sharply, accompanied by flakes of ice crystals.

boom!

The sword energy suddenly cleaved the two clones apart.

This shows that clones can only imitate appearance and aura, but do not possess the same strength.

As the sword energy descended, Kuroro's true form activated Instant Transmission, appearing behind Lynn and turning the page of his book to another page.

With his right hand, a dog-headed spirit beast materialized, its mouth open revealing sharp fangs, about to bite Lynn.

When encountering a difficult enemy that needs to be subdued, manipulating mental abilities is undoubtedly a very useful method.

At least that's what Kuroro thinks.

Therefore, his book also includes several operational mind-control abilities.

Considering that the operating system is divided into types such as strong control and semi-forced control, he prepared a copy for each type to deal with different situations.

The one he is currently using is the strong control type.

If someone is bitten by a canine beast and its teeth remain in their body, they can forcibly control that person and end the fight immediately.

Previously, his strength was insufficient, and even if he used teleportation to get close, he might not be able to break through the defense. Now, however, he has a certain success rate.

Kuroro's judgment was correct, and the Manipulation system was precisely the ability that Lynn had always been wary of. After all, no matter how powerful someone is, if they are tricked by the Manipulation system, they may still be defeated.

Unfortunately, with his current strength, no non-S-rank manipulation-type expert can pose a threat to him, and the same is true after Chrollo used the Restraint and Oath.

One second Lynn was facing away from Kuroro, the next he appeared to Kuroro's side, his eyes cold, and he suddenly swung his sword!

The blade struck Kuroro's right shoulder with lightning speed!

Peng!

Before Kuroro could react, he was sent flying again, landing mid-air in a twisted position.

He leaned forward, his brows furrowed as he stared at Lynn, his left hand instinctively covering his right shoulder, which felt icy cold.

His right shoulder was slashed and part of it was frozen.

Although it can move around, it certainly won't be as flexible.

How did Lynn manage to teleport this time?

He clearly discovered that Lynn's teleportation was based on that pattern, even though there was no pattern next to Lynn just now.

Could it be that he misjudged? Lynn's teleportation didn't actually have any conditions, and that pattern was just a deception?

Are you surprised?

Lynn suddenly spoke, his face completely calm.

Kuroro probably racked his brains but still couldn't figure out what had happened.

Kuroro guessed correctly; he did indeed use the mark of the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport, but just because the mark is not visible to the naked eye does not mean that the mark does not exist.

Since he knew that Kuroro could teleport, how could he not take precautions?

His "God's Paper Man" can be used not only on normal paper, but also on the cards he creates.

So he would place several cards with the Flying Thunder God mark on them next to him, and then disguise himself as a "God Paper Person" to look no different from the normal ground.

When Kuroro teleports to his side, he chooses one of the marks to teleport again, dodging Kuroro's attack while taking advantage of the recovery animation to deal damage.

Kuroro was completely unable to handle this problem.

Because he didn't know where the marks would be placed, and his Observation Haki could react in advance.

Are there only two people left?

Out of the corner of his eye, Kuroro saw Gluttony and Tsunade still locked in fierce combat. At this moment, only the two of them remained standing on the opposite side of Lynn.

He can't delay any longer—his time is running out.

Lynn was really strange; he had never met anyone like him before.

Not only are the beasts of the spirit diverse, but their own abilities are also diverse.

Moreover, each Nen Beast is stronger than the last, and their battles are quite spectacular.

Logically speaking, the amount of Nen energy that Lynn has consumed during this period is astronomical, at least beyond what an ordinary strong person could afford.

Even now, with the constraints and oaths in place, he cannot withstand such a long and intense consumption of Nen energy.

In contrast, Lynn.

He acted as if nothing was wrong, showing no sign of the pressure the use of the spirit beast had put on him. It was as if using the spirit beast didn't require any spirit energy, which was really strange.

Kuroro couldn't fathom how Lynn managed to do all this. Unless Lynn was a top-tier powerhouse on the Six Continents comparable to Netero, he wouldn't normally be able to afford it.

But judging from Lynn's current performance, that's unlikely to be the reason.

After a moment's thought, Kuroro moved the bookmark to another page, and then the book stopped on a certain page again—since teleportation wasn't very useful, he had to change his battle strategy.

Perhaps a direct confrontation would have a higher success rate.

The next moment, Kuroro emitted a powerful aura, his Nen energy swirling around him and transforming into a raging inferno.

He used both fire and amplification Nen abilities simultaneously.

"You think you can defeat my ice with fire?"

"Kuroro, have you run out of ideas?"

Lynn's tone was slightly regretful.

He had hoped that Kuroro could give him more surprises and let him enjoy the thrill of battle, but unfortunately, he fell short in the end.

Seeing this, Lynn completely lost his patience. His eyes narrowed, and his body suddenly emitted incomparably pure spiritual energy.

The air seemed to be filled with black and red lightning, and the field was filled with a strong sense of malice.

Buzz—

Ripples spread through the air, waves of air surged and rolled, a low humming sound rang out, and the ground creaked and cracked.

The fluctuations of spiritual energy created strong wind pressure, producing whistling sounds in the darkness.

The pure spiritual energy flowed freely through his body as if it were free.

The immense spiritual energy formed a powerful light, making him resemble a ball of light, radiating a dazzling brilliance.

His aura gradually rose, like a sun about to reach its highest point.

The aura was extremely sharp; if someone were to observe it up close, they would feel a pain as if countless needles were piercing their skin.

The sixth gate, the View Gate, opens!

Since the first three gates of the Eight Gates Formation are in a safe zone, and he has the Gourmet Cell, he can open them without any burden. Therefore, he always keeps the first three gates open during battles.

In the Eight Gates Formation, the sixth gate, the View Gate, is a true watershed moment. It is extremely difficult to learn, but once opened, it can provide a huge boost, making it the most cost-effective gate.

Its increase is significant, but not to the point that the last two steps would cause such great damage to the body. Although the duration is short, the increase is truly substantial.

This was the first time he had successfully used it after many attempts.

Leaping from the third to the sixth gate in an instant, Lynn felt full of power. A continuous stream of Nen energy rushed out of his body, like a balloon being inflated!

Although he hadn't tried it, he estimated that with six doors open, he should have already broken through to the S-level.

They truly possess combat power at the pinnacle level across the six continents!

A terrifying pressure spread out from Lynn.

For a moment, Kuroro felt as if Lynn was a blinding blazing sun, radiating an unapproachable and domineering aura, as if a heavy weight had suddenly pressed down on his shoulders, making him very uncomfortable.

I misjudged!

It turns out Lynn really is that strong!

At this moment, Kuroro truly realized Lynn's power!

Now everything makes sense. Lynn himself was very strong, so even if the Nen beast fought at a high intensity, it wouldn't affect him because his Nen energy was very large.

Looking at Lynn, who seemed to have descended like a god, with overwhelming momentum, Kuroro was almost paralyzed. The intense shock in his mind was like a monstrous wave sweeping through every corner.

Then, a twitch appeared at the corner of his mouth, revealing a relieved smile.

This was a helpless final smile.

After all that, it turned out they had completely misjudged Lynn's strength; the seemingly impossible outcome was actually the truth.

He only had a few minutes left, and it was impossible for him to steal Lynn's Nen ability in that short time; even getting close would be a problem.

Kuroro felt little regret, only acceptance.

After all, Lynn is already so strong, and he has made so many arrangements, including planting spies and hiding his true strength.

Ultimately, their group's strength wasn't that great, and they couldn't play a significant role against truly powerful opponents.

The complete annihilation was not unjust.

After all these years, has this day of destruction finally come?

Meanwhile, Gluttony, who was fighting Tsunade, sensed such an astonishing aura and was filled with fear, wanting nothing more than to escape.

However, Tsunade wouldn't give him that chance, and kept chasing and attacking him. Gengar also joined in, relentlessly suppressing Gluttony.

This is!

Hisoka's body trembled, stunned by the aura released by Lynn.

The playing cards he had been idly flipping through his hands scattered on the ground. His narrow eyes narrowed as he stared in shock at the rising star, Lynn, his heart filled with horror.

Has Lynn grown to this extent?!

How long has it been?

More than a year!

The thought of the vast amount of time involved sent chills down Hisoka's spine, making him feel as if countless ants were crawling all over his body.

As expected, he was right!

We absolutely cannot be his enemy. His growth rate is terrifying. Give him a little time, and he will grow to a new stage.

If you become Lynn's enemy, there are only two ways to deal with him: either kill him at all costs before he becomes stronger, or hide yourself as much as possible.

Otherwise, there is only one outcome.

Lynn took care of it!

Soon, Lynn's momentum reached its peak. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he comprehended the sword's intent and gently touched the Hyōrinmaru in his hand.

With the infusion of immense Nen energy, Hyōrinmaru also shone with unimaginable brilliance, radiating terrifying energy fluctuations.

He immediately swung his sword at Kuroro, who had lost all will to fight, not far away!

In an instant, a beam of light shot into the sky!

An extremely dense aura of ice instantly spread out, and amidst the flashes of swords and ice light, Kuroro's figure was completely buried.

boom!!

A sword mark, as deep as an insurmountable chasm, suddenly formed.

Countless dust particles and pebbles surged up like a storm, forming a vortex.

The ground began to shake, and thick dust covered the field.

After the noise subsided, what appeared before Lynn was a shattered scene and a shocking sword mark. The ground was covered with a layer of icy blue ice, exuding a chilling aura.

Having faced this sword directly, Kuroro naturally could not survive.

Kuroro, die!

With the death of the last member, Chrollo, who was also the leader of the group, the infamous Class A criminal Phantom Troupe was wiped out!

Lynn exhaled lightly, suppressing his aura. A glint of light flashed in his eyes. He felt exhilarated; the pleasure brought by power was something that countless people were addicted to.

He was no exception.

After glancing at Tsunade's battle, which was nearing its end, Lynn observed the newly acquired cards and entered the much-anticipated harvest phase.

The drop rate wasn't very high. I didn't get any of the cards from the character Lev, but I did get cards from the guy Zoro defeated and Chrollo. At least I didn't miss out on any high-quality cards.

【Name: Counterattack Blade】

[Grade: A]

[Type: Item Card]

[Background: The Seven Deadly Sins]

[Description: The sword wielded by Melidaos, the leader of the Seven Deadly Sins and a symbol of the sin of wrath. It appears as a broken blade and can consume energy to reflect enemy attacks back.]

It turns out to be Melidaos's sword from the anime Seven Deadly Sins. As the leader, he corresponds to the sin of wrath.

The Seven Deadly Sins, Wrath.

Lynn raised an eyebrow and glanced at the strange man fighting Tsunade not far away. He thought to himself, "As expected, those two are members of the Seven Deadly Sins."

Zoro just dealt with anger, and the remaining person is most likely one of them.

This counter-attack blade is also good; it can reflect enemy attacks back, providing another means of combat. Since it's a sword, let's leave it to Yaodao-hime to handle as usual.

The A-rank Flashing Light and the A-rank Counterattack Blade are definitely enough for Yoto Hime to be promoted to A+ rank.

Zoro has just successfully grown into an A+ rank despite adversity.

Now he has four A+ rank fighters at his disposal: Gengar, Tsunade, Yoto Hime, and Zoro. Including him, that makes five!

Judging solely from its A+ level high-end combat power, it is already comparable to a nation like the Kingdom of Reges.

Then, Lynn looked at the cards that Kuroro had dropped.

Kuroro was originally only A-rank, but he was upgraded to A+ rank by using constraints and oaths. I wonder if this will be a pleasant surprise for him.

Name: Gate of Babylon

Grade: A+

[Type: Item Card]

[Background: Fate]

[Introduction: The hero-king Gilgamesh desires to possess all the treasures of the world and to own a treasure vault that holds all these treasures.]

Effect 1: King's Treasury - A large-scale interdimensional space for storing items. Effect 2: King's Draw - Randomly draw one item card each month, ranging from B to A+ rank. Effect 3: Collector - Can be activated on a target, greatly increasing their chance of drawing cards that day, or on a draw opportunity, increasing the probability of drawing high-level cards. This effect can only be used once per month.

What a pleasant surprise!

A+ grade [Gate of the King's Treasure]!

Gilgamesh, from Fate, also known as the King of Heroes or Gilgamesh, loves to collect treasures and store them in his own treasury.

His attack method even involved throwing out all the treasures from his treasury at once, which was quite nouveau riche-like.

His [Gate of the Kings] has three effects: King's Treasury, King's Draw, and Collector.

The King's Treasury is like a large personal storage space, allowing you to hold more items.

The King's Draw allows you to draw one item card each month.

It's worth noting that the draw range here is B to A+, not C to A+ like in Yu-Gi-Oh! decks or Onmyoji guilds.

Maybe the treasure vault just doesn't want items that are too low-level.

This is a good thing. Although it's likely to be a minimum guarantee, there's a big difference between C-level and B-level.

Putting aside the difference in the value of the points, the C-level card is currently almost useless to him, while the B-level card has the potential to be used.

The true value of [Golden Gate of Babylon] lies in its third effect: Collector.

Collectors can designate a target to significantly increase the probability of drawing a high-level card, or designate a single draw opportunity to increase the probability of drawing a high-level card.

It is equivalent to a superior alternative to Zashiki-warashi.

Increasing the probability of getting a card is extremely important. Under normal circumstances, the probability of getting a card is about 50/50, and you might not get a card at all if you're not careful.

There aren't many strong individuals on the six continents, and each one defeated is one less available.

Even failing to get a single card is a huge loss.

Not to mention the mechanism of summoning Shendu only after collecting all twelve talismans.

From now on, before seeking out strong opponents for sparring, he can use [Fortune Telling Paper], [Zashiki-warashi], and [Gate of Babylon] simultaneously to greatly increase the probability of getting a high-level card and ensure he doesn't miss out on any advanced cards.

This opportunity can also be used for daily gacha pulls to increase the chances of getting the desired item.

After a moment's consideration, Lynn decided to use [King's Draw] to draw a card first, and then use [Collector] to select the person who would fight Tsunade.

That strange person has A+ level strength, making him an absolute master across the six continents. Using him would definitely not be a loss.

With a slight thought, Lynn conjured a golden sword shaped like a key in his hand, which looked extremely cool.

He turned his head in the void, and a golden light flashed by.

A uniquely shaped card slowly materialized in his mind, its design depicting a pot shaped like a coiled azure dragon.

【Name: Spinning Dragon Pot】

[Grade: A—]

[Type: Item Card]

[Background: Cooking Master Boy]

[Description: One of the legendary eight cooking utensils, specially designed to accelerate cooking. Simply put the ingredients in, and they will cook faster. Some of its effects are sealed, but the seal may be gradually broken by continuously processing high-quality ingredients. If special cleansing abilities or items are used, the Dragon-Turning Pot can be fully restored to its original effect.]

I was lucky; I drew an A- card from the range of B- to A+.

Even the Dragon-Turning Pot itself is very useful; it can break the seal and increase its level with continuous use.

He could already picture Erina's gentle smile after receiving the Dragon-Turning Pot.

Erina already had the Eternal Spirit Blade, and now she has also obtained the Dragon-Turning Pot, which will take the food she makes to an even higher level.

From then on, he already possessed two of the eight divine weapons in Little Chef.

Both are good, but he prefers to obtain the Garuda Blade, which is a pair with the Eternal Spirit Blade and is specifically designed for birds and beasts, as it is relatively more practical.

However, as time goes by, he will surely be able to collect all eight divine artifacts one day. At that time, even if they are just cheap ingredients, they can be transformed into exquisite delicacies after being cooked with the eight divine artifacts.
