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

Enemy?

Lynn thought to himself, while simultaneously controlling the sick dog to speak, a cold smile appearing on his gaunt face: "Who are you?"

"Just a vengeful monster." Shadow Crocodile casually brandished its giant axe, the head of which was about the size of a millstone, and its eyes flashed with a warlike light as it roared, "Judging from your appearance, you should also be one of the Yin Beasts, right?"

"Since you dared to attack us, the Six Nightwalkers, you should have been mentally prepared, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shadow Crocodile took a step forward, his body bursting with powerful spiritual energy, transforming into a charging ferocious beast.

Perhaps it's an enhancement type... Lynn thought silently, while controlling the sick dog to deal with it.

The sick dog also used its [Refinement] technique, unleashing a large amount of spiritual energy. Facing the aggressive Shadow Crocodile, it remained calm and composed despite missing the first opportunity.

The same skill level, or even the same physique, can produce different results in different hands.

He has the ability to fight, but his personality reveals his flaws. His long-term involvement in gangs and bullying the weak has fostered an arrogant and despicable character in him.

This is undoubtedly a major disadvantage in battles between Nen users.

Even in a battle between equally matched opponents, this kind of mentality can lead to defeat... but this problem doesn't exist under Lynn's control.

He would treat the sick dog as a suitable toy, testing the enemy step by step until he figured out its strength and then delivering a fatal blow!

Unfortunately, while the enemy controller allowed him to control the sick dog and use Nen abilities, the Nen consumption had to be shared by both of them, and it was double the amount.

When the sick dog makes a move, not only does it consume its own Nen energy, but the other party also consumes an equal amount of Nen energy, so the effect of the move is equivalent to 1+1=1.

Therefore, he cannot fight for too long. He needs to let the sick dog figure out the opponent's strengths and weaknesses as soon as possible, or even defeat the opponent, and then investigate the situation inside the auction.

Of the six Nightwalkers, only four remain. If you remove the person in front of you, there are only three left. Those three are probably already fighting with the Owl and the Centipede.

If the conflict drags on and one side dies out, their gains will decrease.

In an instant, the sick dog turned its body to the side, almost narrowly avoiding the Shadow Crocodile's axe attack. Then it quickly poked its head out, opened its mouth wide, and aimed at the Shadow Crocodile's neck to bite.

So fast that it left afterimages!

Since you already have that ability, why bite the shoulder? Just bite the neck! If you succeed, it'll be a one-hit kill!

Not bad speed... It seems the Yin Beast does have some strength.

Shadow Crocodile raised an eyebrow and hastily raised his left-hand axe, which was wrapped with a decent layer of Nen energy. He used [Zhou] to barely block the sick dog's biting attack.

But the recoil followed, and the Shadow Crocodile retreated backward, throwing its small axe as it did so.

A sudden whooshing sound filled the air!

The small axe flew incredibly fast, spinning as it hurtled toward the sick dog's face.

I see. The small axe is mainly used for ranged attacks, while the large axe is used for melee attacks, making it both offensive and defensive.

Lynn's thoughts raced, but his hands never stopped moving. Streams of spiritual energy flowed from his arms into the enemy's controller, prompting the sick dog to act.

Almost instantly, facing the rapidly approaching axe, the sick dog immediately crouched down, dodging the flying axe.

The small axe spun around once and flew precisely back into the Shadow Crocodile's hand.

Shadow Crocodile said with a hint of regret, "What a pity. I thought I could have cut you down directly just now. I didn't expect you to be so fast."

The sick dog licked its lips and sneered, "Heh, you underestimate the Shadow Beasts. We're not like you C-level criminals!"

"Perhaps." Shadow Crocodile shrugged, grinned, and raised two axes, one large and one small, with confidence. "My Axe of Speed ​​and Axe of Strength will definitely defeat you!"

"It looks like it's definitely an enhancement type," Lynn thought to himself.

In terms of appearance, personality, and even fighting style, he is a typical enhanced Nen user, with a strength of about B-.

The sick dog's condition was roughly B- or B grade.

However, Lynn recalled his experience in the Cruz Mountains.

To this day, he still remembers the twists and turns of that adventure. That experience was absolutely invaluable, making him realize that he needed to be more respectful in his Nen battles. A hunter who is not careful enough will one day die at the hands of his prey... at least until he is strong enough.

Let's observe further.

At the same time, Shadow Crocodile's Nen energy flowed rapidly, like a light bulb whose brightness was constantly increasing. Suddenly, he threw out both axes at the same time, this time with even more Nen energy wrapped around them!

Did he actually throw out both axes at once?

Two axes, one large and one small, flew out in a spiral, not vertically towards the sick dog, but in an arc to the left and right, but at the same height.

So the sick dog can dodge by simply crouching down, and then dash forward to attack the other side.

But the other party is definitely not that kind; they must have ulterior motives.

At that moment, the Shadow Crocodile, who had thrown the axe, charged forward empty-handed.

Lynn thought to himself, "As expected, the other side would never let the sick dog dodge the attack like that. If we add him, it will be an attack from three directions!"

But things didn't go as planned; this wasn't what Shadow Crocodile truly wanted.

Suddenly, Shadow Crocodile revealed a mocking smile, and clasped his hands together in front of his chest in a gesture.

In that instant, the shadow beneath the Shadow Crocodile's feet, as well as the shadows of the two axes, rushed from the ground from three directions, accurately hitting the shadow of the sick dog.

The sick dog's body stiffened, and it remained frozen in place, motionless.

Seeing this, Shadow Crocodile burst into laughter, his face full of mockery: "Hahaha, a Shadow Beast? Nothing but trash!"

"You thought I was an Enhancer? Actually, I'm a Manipulator! I was just pretending to be an Enhancer to lower your guard."

"Let me formally introduce myself. My name is [Shadow Crocodile]. Remember this name; I'm the one who sent you to hell!"

Shadow Crocodile, one of the hundred demons and monsters, is said to be a young crocodile that was eaten by birds and then hid in a broken eggshell, unwilling to leave.

In order to avenge himself against the monster that kidnapped children, he transformed his shadow into a crocodile and made a living by controlling his shadow to hunt prey.

Shadow Crocodile's Nen ability is also called "Shadow Crocodile," which not only allows him to control his shadow to attack, but also allows him to mark up to two items.

If you have stepped on someone else's shadow, as long as you and the shadow of the marked object are both within a certain range of the other person's body, you can extend your shadow to bind them. The more shadows there are, the stronger the binding will be.

By this time, Lynn had a general idea of ​​Shadow Crocodile's Nen ability. It was indeed not that simple; this Manipulation type was disguised as an Enhancement type.

But this fits his stereotype of micro-management systems: those who love micro-management are all cunning, each one more cunning than the last.

Unfortunately, Shadow Crocodile had calculated a lot, but he overlooked one thing... the sick dog is currently being controlled by him.

At any given time, a person can only be controlled by one type of mind control ability. The system operates on a first-come, first-served basis, so whoever controls it first gets to control it. Therefore, the sick dog was just pretending to be controlled.

In a flash, a breeze swept by, and the sick dog rushed past the Shadow Crocodile, then casually spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva: "Excuse me."

Just a moment ago, Shadow Crocodile was smug and carefree, but now blood gushed from its neck, its eyes wide with surprise, before it collapsed in despair...

How is that possible!
