Chapter 80: Adam's Magic Sword

To Kurapika's question, "What are you doing here?", Sora answered immediately.

"I am here to take care of you."

I had no intention of saying I was here to help.

From what I saw last night, I had already anticipated that if it were a one-on-one fight, Kurapika could use his hand to bind Kurapika again, but even so, what Sora did was not "help," but extra assistance.

I know this is an act of narrowing Kurapika's range of choices and overstepping his rights.

Even so, Sora had received an answer that could not be expressed in words, so he decided to come.

I had to tell him something.

I grabbed his hand; I wanted to walk a path.

So, even though I resisted, Kurapika raised his head with tears in his eyes just like the first time he saw him, thinking I would hold her and leave here for a while, but unusually, Kurapika attacked Sora first, and went out.

He grabbed Sora's arm and pulled him close; just as he thought he had grabbed Sora's lapel, he took a forceful step back and headbutted him.

"!? What is this about!?"

"Noisy!"

Sora knew best that Kurapika would take unreasonable strikes at those he trusted and doted on.

So Sora held his forehead and shouted, but Kurapika shouted back instead.

"You are all wrong!!"

"What, what!?"

He came here to be scolded by Kurapika, but no matter what he encountered, Sora never thought he would be scolded this badly, or rather, that he would be responsible for everything, so he asked him quite frankly.

Since they met, this was the first time Kurapika had broken Sora's rhythm and brought it to his own, but the angry Kurapika did not realize his achievement and just vented his anger.

"Why do you always do selfish things without asking me!?"

You say you knew you were beautiful since you were born, but you don't understand how much the damn Collector wants to stuff you into a plush toy!? If you knew, why did you come! With such a sloppy disguise, I absolutely couldn't fool you!!"

At the end of the day, why, all alone, knowing I am the target of the Phantom Troupe Spider, did you come to sell yourself!?"

First, I opened up about what I really wanted to say on the phone yesterday. It was a valid argument, and I knew he would definitely say it, so Sora thought, "Are you going to say that now?" "Um, sorry?" I apologized sincerely.

However, Sora's apology did not reach Kurapika; even though he apologized, his head was already bleeding profusely.

As if to cover up Sora's apology, Kurapika spat out all the emotions that emerged in his mind and shouted.

"What do you mean by 'thank you'!? What do you mean by 'doing your best'!? It's all your fault!

I am! If I hadn't met you, I might have killed you!! If I hadn't met you, if I hadn't been saved by you, I could have killed the Brigade without hesitation, without hesitation, and without regret!! Even if I met Gon and the others, I would have done it without hesitation!!"

I could have chosen revenge with my own will!!"

A terrifying eight words.

No, this was not eight strikes. This was the truth.

If he hadn't met Sora, Kurapika might have caught and killed Uvogin.

The rule of the little finger chain, the Judgment Chain, should have been able to ask a question that was no different from a death sentence, which could have broken my heart, but it was all because of the woman in front of me that I couldn't.

This was the reason Kurapika shouted and grabbed his hand.

"You!

But you foolishly hope for all the happiness I have, so I cannot give it up!!"

I grabbed Sora's hand, pressed it to my forehead, and shouted.

Why couldn't he kill his opponent?

I cried and complained about the things I couldn't give up even if everything I have now was destroyed.

"I could have killed him! If only I had given up on happiness! If I had given up, everything would have been easier! When everything was stolen, destroyed, and lost by me, I would feel despair. In that case, it would have been much better to have nothing from the beginning!

But... but... you... because you are here!!"

"... Yes. Yes. I know. I know, Kurapika."

Sora stroked Kurapika's head with his hand that wasn't being held, shouting about the things that couldn't be given up, the things that couldn't be given up.

When I stroked her, she smiled.

"... That's right. It's all my fault."

As if Sora had realized his long-held dream, he admitted Kurapika's words with a happy smile.

While admitting this, the hand that was stroking, comforting, and praising Kurapika left.

Turning around, he waved that hand.

The midnight blue turned into sky blue, and the Stone thrown at them sank down along with the slender hand and fingertips, the Stone shattering as if it were a pile of sand from the beginning.

Kurapika cried, saying he couldn't kill anyone or anything, he couldn't give up happiness.

"Then I will take responsibility."

To ensure she never gives up the same thing, make sure she holds the hand Kurapika grabbed.

The smile on Uvogin's face did not disappear, even after seeing the child-sized boulder he threw smash into the air without a sound.

Instead, he walked over with a smile in his eyes, enough to make me believe that this was a happy face.

The wounds Kurapika gave him caused no pain, nor was he angry that the battle he had been enjoying was interrupted.

He said this sentence gleefully.

"... White hair, a face that can't tell if it's a man or a woman, eyes that change color, and a power different from the 'Hatsu' that kills without blinking!!

You! Are you Sora Shikiori!?!"

"... Why are you excited? Are you the same type as Hisoka and the muscle-brain?"

Responding to Uvogin's joy, Sora let go of his tension and muttered to himself.

There was a small scuffle at the cemetery building last night, and he also saw the massacre of the Mafia and the Shadow Beasts, so he knew from the beginning, but for Sora, who didn't want to die, he was the type of person who didn't want to be dealt with.

However, I have no intention of running away.

This is partly because I know the other party has no intention of letting me run away, but more importantly, I cannot let them run away and send them back to the Brigade.

Sora thought that he would soon discover that Red Coat was actually Sora, so he didn't pay much attention to it, but judging from Kurapika's appearance, most of his abilities seemed to have been discovered by the opponent. Therefore, it would be the worst if that information were passed on to that Phantom Troupe.

Most importantly, I discovered the point of contact between Kurapika and Sora.

That is the only information that can never be known. Regarding each other, I saw the possibility of reaching "Blanca," which reminded me of the worst future after my own death.

I will never provide this information to the Phantom Troupe.

Of course, not just Sora, Kurapika is the same.

Compared to Sora, Kurapika felt more regret and responsibility for letting Sora come here; he grabbed Sora's hand more tightly and pulled back the appeal.

"!"

However, the blow to the stomach by Uvogin still caused tremendous damage, and he coughed violently, coughing up blood.

For a moment, Sora looked at the situation in front of her with a painful expression. Just like Kurapika, it could be seen from the expression on her face that she felt guilty for being late.

With such similar thoughts, neither side would hand over their own sins to the other.

Looking at Sora's face, Kurapika realized that even if he was about to collapse, treating it as a treasure to take was nothing more than a nuisance to the other party.

Even Sora should know.

Even so, she was still mature to the point that it made Kurapika want to cry again.

"Impossible. No matter how you think about it, this is not a situation you can handle alone."

In an instant, she repainted that painful face that seemed to have been hurt by herself.

There is nothing to worry about anymore.

Kurapika could not imagine how much pain and regret were hidden behind that smile.

Sora smiled and took out some Jewel and handed them to Kurapika.

"So, Kurapika. First, use this to recover a little damage. Just keep pushing it on the injured area for a while."

I handed over the Jewel, and then, as usual, took out a cheap Ballpoint Pen, my eyes brightened, not knowing if it was because I wanted to concentrate on the fight.

The connected hands were separated.

"You help me quickly, I don't think I can fulfill my promise to you alone."

The hand I was holding was gone.

However, there was still that warmth on Kurapika's hand.

They don't just want to be protected like they were four years ago; they don't want us to run away, they want us to stand Together.

The promise we exchanged still exists.

"... I won't forgive you."

So Kurapika still answered while coughing.

"... I won't let you break your promise or die holding onto it."

There is one more thing, which goes without saying, but remembering that she is a woman who can do something if she doesn't say it, Kurapika told him another thing, "I will never forgive her."

"I know."

The smile Kurapika looked back at was so clear that Kurapika didn't even know what was hidden behind it.

"Are you done talking?"

Uvogin asked, not giving Kurapika time to think about the reason behind the smile.

I don't see him angry. On the contrary, it was a voice full of joy, as if he couldn't help it because it was fun and interesting.

With his own Qi, he could have recovered some, but even so, when the scars from the battle with the Shadow Beasts last night were still there, he allocated all his strengthening Qi to the fighting aspect, and he had healing abilities. Although it is a system. That is good at it, it is definitely not good at it.

Even so, Uvogin's calmness never faded.

Even though Kurapika was enduring the pain to the point of heartbreak, even though there was no damage received when the restraint was released, and even though his body was intact, he still couldn't believe that Kurapika could win by a direct gachinko. Emitting a powerful aura, he laughed fiercely, but with the purest joy.

Feeling the existence of "death" in that smile, a chill ran down Kurapika's spine.

Uvogin's smile was completely different from Hisoka's. In other words, it was crisp and refreshing.

That's why he would show the same crazy smile as Hisoka.

Facing the positive emotion of being "happy," Sora answered with a fearless smile.

"This is not over yet. On the contrary, the things I want to talk about and the things I need to talk about are piled up like a mountain."

"... So I will finish you as soon as possible. Come on, you muscular gorilla."

Sora spun the Ballpoint Pen from the coin shop, pointed it out like a knight's Sword, and announced.

Hearing this, Uvogin laughed with a force that seemed to burst his eardrums. He didn't sneer, but laughed as if he were really enjoying himself.

"Hahahaha! Well done! You are a good girl!!"

"I really don't understand why the captain likes you so much, but I like you! If there is a vacancy among the members, I am recruiting them!! The captain immediately responded with a 'Hey,' but I think I'm really going to fall in love!!"

"Hey, don't leak annoying information."

Someone laughed, obsessed with it, Genzu and Sora, said words that a commander shouldn't say, but Uvogin continued to laugh in a good mood.

Even without using Dowsing Chain, Kurapika could understand that everything he said was true.

I don't want to admit it, but this guy named Uvogin looks a lot like my dear friend, a boy named Gon. Like him, this man is not a liar.

That's why I know this man is as crazy as Hisoka.

After laughing until tears welled up in his eyes, he began to laugh.

"Haha!"

He laughed so happily that just looking at him, one could tell he really liked Sora, and it was true that he would fall in love with her.

Kurapika not only pressed the Jewel full of healing Magic given by Sora onto his stomach, but "Absolute Time" "activating" "Holy Chain" was also used to promote and accelerate recovery.

In order to live with Sora, I almost lost the desire to use this ability to reduce my lifespan, but it did not disappear completely.

Kurapika chose to sever his own future rather than lose Sora, because he could not move, because the wounds here were too deep, rather than live in a world without Sora.

Fortunately, because Sora's gems were used in combination, recovery to a degree that did not hinder movement—rather than full recovery—did not require much time, so a price was paid. Kurapika estimated the lifespan time required was at most a few days, so he took action.

Sora also began to move.

"At least 90 years from now!!"

Facing Uvogin's provocative remarks, Sora did not brandish an ordinary Ballpoint Pen without Aura as usual, but instead met the punch head-on with a fist containing the same Aura as her opponent.

The fist, reinforced by the collision of fists, turned into a massive shockwave from the wind pressure alone, and Kurapika, who was right behind Sora, was blown away by the sheer force.

"!? Ah! Sorry, Kurapika!"

"Oh, sorry!!"

For some reason, not only Sora, but Uvogin also apologized to Kurapika.

(... I wonder if there is still room for me to help even if I recover?)

Kurapika's question, immediately sensing the absurdity of a Gachinko battle between Enhancers, was quite persuasive.

For better or worse, the simple-minded Uvogin had already lost interest in Kurapika, let alone his anger and humiliation.

Of course, I had no intention of letting him go, nor did I intend to let him live. If he could escape alive and share information about his abilities with the Brigade, the ability itself was not much of a threat, but the fact that "his information was known by the other side"—if he knew that, he knew this clever opponent would come up with any number of countermeasures.

That is why I am going to kill the chain bastard Kurapika here, but I decided to do it after I put on this "red coat" and fight the genius Sora-sikiori I have been interested in ever since I heard about it from the Leader. Uvogin laughed fiercely, viciously, and above all, truly happily as he swung his fists.

I didn't expect Kurapika to run away while fighting Sora.

From our interactions until now, I fully understand that although my lovely one can do this, it is not a relationship shallow enough to be abandoned, I also understand.

Although Kurapika was injured and just 2-on-1 was troublesome, Uvogin was as injured as Kurapika and was consuming Aura, even though he had recovered a little.

In contrast, Sora, who broke in, was naturally unscathed and had excess Aura. In the end, the Leader was so obsessed with other members that he refused to listen to the objections of others. Many abilities I experienced in exchanges that were not bound by the common sense of "just in case."

If Uvogin escaped from the other side, all information about us would be known by the Phantom Troupe, so it is impossible for us to let this situation turn in our favor again.

And at the same time, Uvogin had no intention of turning his back on this most valuable opponent and running away.

In Uvogin's view, the more he was at a disadvantage, the more his tension rose and burned, so this situation was nothing but delicious.

Because of this, he lunged at Sora with a roar-like tension, repeatedly striking her with arms that should not have been fully connected to the bone yet.

If you think about her "eyes," most people would not dare to engage in melee combat, but Uvogin's thinking was the exact opposite.

Uvogin preferred close-quarters combat to eliminate the opponent's chance to attack, because the only way to attack from a distance was to throw Stones.

According to what I heard from the Leader and others, it is not like the monsters in myths and fairy tales that are so crazy they are killed the moment they are seen, but rather they act as if the other party is stabbing or slashing. It is meaningless not to go out, and even if one is defended to the point of being unable to perform that action, it is just swinging fists like rain.

"Hey, you brain-teaser gorilla!! You are surprisingly rational!!"

Uvogin's decisive choice seemed to be correct; Sora wrapped Aura around her arms, continuing to dodge and defend, a crazy shogi-like reasoning that was similar to her inherent Fortune Telling, but she could only do that much. That was it, so she could not continue to attack.

"Haha! Don't praise me so much!"

"Where do you think you are being praised! Brain! Or gorilla!?"

Hearing Sora's noisy but actually completely ruthless shouting, Uvogin understood that if he interrupted the combo, if he fell into the gap of the combo, the outcome would be decided in an instant. You can.

Facing such a reluctant laugh, Sora made her thoughts accelerate even more, even saying some silly things.

Being the same Enhancement type, even if it burned out, she would continue to accelerate her movement; thanks to the Dream World of death blocking death, Sora could at least cope even if it was defense, but Sora really had no room left.

The opponent being injured and consuming a large amount of Aura was nothing more than comfort. On the contrary, thanks to this, I now know that I am somehow still alive.

This is the strength of this man. After carefully laying the trap, my thoughts turned into an answer, while realizing that I had no chance of winning unless I kept to my own rhythm, because my head was spinning surprisingly, making me no longer calm.

Sora sent Aura into her eyes.

In Sora's eyes, along with the emitted Aura, the brightness of those eyes also increased.

Those eyes tingled, and a chill ran down Uvogin's spine.

How many years has it been? Up until now, I had never felt the sign of "death" in battle.

Those eyes that seemed to want to pull your soul out were so beautiful that even if you were pulled out, you would want to take a closer look.

Even Uvogin, a thief who had no interest in art objects that valued "beauty" above all else, of course felt from the bottom of his heart that these eyes were beautiful.

However, the reason he felt these eyes were beautiful was not because they changed from the ordinary color of Scarlet Eyes to a very bright and beautiful color.

Uvogin did not care about the color of her eyes.

What was important was the emotion in those eyes.

I don't know what happened after I was blown away, but even so, I did not face death, but tried to fight for my own life, just like the eyes of the dawn, seeing death and dragging it out. The eyes of the blue sky that only lived seriously.

There was no doubt that the Captain's obsession and reason for liking these eyes were different, but he was convinced that Chrollo wanted this woman, these eyes, and he was actually quite obsessed. Uvogin's heart was pulled back, and he aimed his fist at Sora's face without hesitation.

I did not want to crush the eyes of the blue sky struggling to survive, nor did I want to make them cloudy with despair due to inevitable death.

Of course, preserving them in formalin was impossible. These eyes were radiant and beautiful because they were still alive. Even Uvogin knew that doing so was the greatest insult to the eyes.

However, you could also see at a glance that these eyes shone brightest when on the verge of death.

Uvogin understood that once safety was guaranteed, if death was far away, even if the brilliance did not cloud over, it would be much dimmer; he carried out the contradiction of killing to seek light without doubt, and even without regret. If he really killed.

Sora also began to act.

I had no intention of responding to Uvogin's contradictory desire, "I will kill you because I want to look at your eyes for a long time."

She simply acted according to her own will.

I don't want to die. I want to protect it.

Even today, these two contradictory madnesses still maintained a strange balance, while making a creaking sound, destroying things as big as a person, losing it, sacrificing it.

Sora opened her sky-blue eyes, tilting her upper body as much as possible to avoid Uvogin's fist.

She lost her balance and fell backward, but as soon as she fell, she rolled over to create distance. I rushed in.

Extend your ordinary Ballpoint Pen like a Sword.

Uvogin tried to catch the tip of the Ballpoint Pen head-on with his fist full of Aura.

I know that if it pierces the "point" or "line" of "death" that only this woman can see, it will be a fatal injury, let alone something that "Hardness" can stop, let alone "Hardness." I heard it from Chrollo and Shalnark.

Even so, I decided that if I ran away and kept my distance, being drawn in by this woman's pace would be disadvantageous.

Uvogin's fist, betting that he was bluffing because he couldn't see it, collided with the fist Sora was holding a Ballpoint Pen with... Sora's arm was suddenly pulled back.

"Ugh!?"

Perhaps the other party was also caught off guard and made a strange sound, as Sora floated in the air and fled backward.

... Or rather, just as he said, he was forcibly lifted and recovered, and Uvogin's fist missed, smashing heavily into the ground.

"Tch! You've already recovered!!"

Even though these words were spoken with a tone of regret, those eyes glaring at him still flickered with a light of joy.

Kurapika snorted in disgust, glaring at Sora's head, which was the head Sora had pulled with the Chain on his ring finger.

"Ouch! Why did you suddenly attack me!?"

"You miraculous idiot! You really don't listen to people! If you don't intend to keep your promise, don't make it!

When there were no 'lines' or 'points', didn't you enter on purpose? I'm going to say 'that' in the final exam!!"

Sora protested against Kurapika's sudden support, or rather, the resumed attack, but was immediately refuted, and Sora awkwardly avoided his gaze.

Somehow, Sora's bad habit of "I can't protect him if I don't kill him" began, although it wasn't as bad as during Hisoka's exam, and thinking that long-range combat was better than melee, he got injured even though he didn't want to die. Fearlessly causing almost self-mutilating damage, the fictional work Replica of the Jeweled Sword of Zelretch, Kurapika seemed to know he was trying to satisfy the activation conditions.

"... Ahahahaha~ Calm down, Kurapika. If you yell at me like this, I'll vomit blood again."

"Whose fault is it!!"

Even though he couldn't be fooled, Sora still smiled and tried to fool him, trying to change the story, but of course, it didn't work.

However, even if Kurapika was angry, even if this woman didn't perform well, if she had already made a decision in her heart, she would not back down.

Therefore, Sora said this in an unseasonably bright and resilient voice.

"I'm sorry, Kurapika. I tried to break my promise. I'm sorry. I might not be able to keep my promise.

"Hey, you two! Don't flirt when you're about to die! You really are awkward!!"

Before Uvogin could complain about Sora's selfishness, he said with a kind smile.

While complaining, the other party landed again, smashing the stones on the ground, which flew towards me like a Shotgun, so Kurapika's leading Ring Finger Chain caught the small stones, and Sora used natural reflexes to avoid or knock down the small stones to escape, but even if the opponent was placed far away, he wouldn't keep up with our pace, so he would "throw stones". It was simple, but because of the position, he didn't expect the Bullet to run out, so he took a more troublesome method.

It was indeed the method of picking up stones, or hitting the ground or the large stones around to throw pebbles, so it was impossible to coat every pebble with a layer of Aura, and dodging or defending was close. A hail of fists.

There was a slight time difference before the next pebble flew up, so there was also a gap to close the distance.

If Sora and Kurapika split into two and dodged to escape, Uvogin could not attack them both from a distance at the same time.

Even if one of you noticed this approach, you must forgive him.

However, even if you can get close to it, if you don't do something, it will only lead to death.

Even if Kurapika got close, it wouldn't make much sense. As long as he didn't bind him with the Chain on his middle finger, Kurapika would have no chance of defeating this battle-crazed enhancer who had only recently learned "just in case" and borrowed heavy promises and restrictions to improve his abilities.

If it were Sora's opponent, he wouldn't let the distance shorten in the first place.

No, even if we closed the distance from the start, even if there was a way to attack him from a distance, what would be the point? Kurapika asked himself in his heart.

I can find a way to kill this person. The simplest and safest way is to focus on defense, support myself, and leave it to Sora.

At that time, although he knew that if he didn't put Sora away and left him alone, he might reach a Compromise sooner, he gave up this option without even thinking about it.

The option Kurapika chose, no matter how injured or regretful he was, the option he decided not to let go of, was "I will not kill him."

This is not just for yourself.

I won't let Sora kill me either.

I will not let anyone's blood stain her hands again. I will not let her bear the burden of sin again. I swear I will not let you do anything that will leave you nowhere to go long ago, even if you have no choice but to blend into the Abyss you eventually escaped from.

This is why Kurapika thought while catching, repelling, and dodging the giant stone Bullets with his chains.

Don't let your thoughts stop, imagine multiple futures like tsumeshogi, no matter how many times you die in those hypothetical futures, no matter how many times you see the worst ending, grit your teeth and think, think, think, calculate so many possibilities that your brain seems exhausted.

However, no matter how super-thinking ability a person has, it has long been burned out, completely destroyed, and simply cannot compare to the processing speed of a computer mechanism remade into "that kind of thing."

"... Kurapika. I'm really sorry.

Like herself, Sora, who was knocking down pebbles while running away, said.

For the first time, she asked me to break the promise we had Exchanged.

"... Don't tease me!"

Kurapika rejected Sora's request, expressing frustration at not being able to come up with a way to overcome the current situation.

Even so, I knew Sora wouldn't back down.

"... Sorry. But I can't think of anything else.

No confirmation. The odds are low, and I have no confidence. Even so, the only way to end this battle without 'killing' him is for me to force myself."

"!"

For a moment, Kurapika's eyes, not the flame of hatred, but the flame of the will to survive, slanted toward Sora.

Sora smiled, looking a little embarrassed.

"If you could kill him, you wouldn't have to force yourself. But I don't want to, I want to end this battle without killing him.

But for this reason, the only way I can think of is to force myself. And even so, whether it can succeed is a subtle point."

Unreliable words.

Sora said with a wry smile, probably because he knew what he was saying.

"... But I want to bet on this possibility."

I smiled wryly and appealed with eyes of strong light that would not hesitate.

Kurapika moved his gaze away from his gaze and answered while catching small stones with his chains.

"... I have no intention of forgiving you."

He told him that he would not Compromise on conditions he would never allow.

"... If you're okay with it, then do it. I'll do what I do."

Even so, Kurapika could not stop him.

Sora had decided long ago that if anything stood in the way of Kurapika's happiness, he would kill even a god. The scales had already tipped, even if nothing had changed.

If Sora chose not to kill anyone, even if he forced himself, I wish for him to do so.

So, although I wanted to choose not to burden her, Sora still smiled slightly at the words I chose to answer with, even though I gnashed my teeth at my own powerlessness.

"I see. Then, can you help me make my unreasonableness a little less?"

Kurapika answered this selfish request without even turning his head.

"—Coward."

I knew the other party would understand everything with a single word, so I understood perfectly well that I was a spoiled coward who would not speak his true feelings.

Of course, Uvogin noticed that the two of them had been chatting for a while.

Sora and Kurapika were huddled Together, wanting to knock down, bounce, and dodge the fired stone Bullets, but they suddenly split left and right; no matter how you looked at it, the strategy meeting was over.

Even when he realized this, the smile on Uvogin's face did not disappear.

From the beginning, Uvogin, who loved challenges and was invincible, felt the opponent's tricks were "annoying" and was irritated, but he did not think it was a sign of cowardice.

Destroying such trinkets head-on suited his personality; it was something he liked, so Uvogin's initial battle with Kurapika was clumsily caught, doing nothing but his trinkets. The bond of being irritated by himself was strong, and now I don't care about anything else.

Thus, Uvogin bared his teeth like a beast and narrowed his attack target to Sora.

Of course, one must also watch out for Kurapika. If I were caught by the Chain on his middle finger, I would have had enough, so I did not want to underestimate my opponent.

But on the other hand, Kurapika did not pose that much of a threat aside from the Chain on his middle finger.

That foul "Emperor Time" ability was another matter, but since it was a foul performance, the risk of being restricted might be high. After realizing this, Uvogin decided the only things to watch out for were the Chain on the middle finger and the Chain on his index finger, whose ability had not yet been revealed.

When approaching, this time it was "Big Bang Impact," but the opponent seemed to understand it was a suicide attempt; even if I got close to them, the opponent kept a certain distance and did not approach, attacking with the Chain instead.

Uvogin avoided the Chain and knocked it back when Sora approached.

She looked at the azure sky with wide eyes, running step by step, two steps, while increasing the brightness.

Uvogin's eyes grew brighter and brighter, as if he could see through something.

As the radiance increased, the heat in his eyes and head also increased.

When overheating, the brain and eyeballs would complain, but the broken heart ignored the complaints and further increased its accuracy.

Under the scorching sun, Sora spat out his own words.

"—Light up the bottom of the water and disappear. Wings on the earth fall. Justice on the guillotine is lost."

(If that light-slashing weapon appeared under the same conditions as Feitan, then I would let the Chain bastard attack from a distance and focus on closing the distance. It's better to decide this.)

Uvogin saw the movements of Sora and Kurapika and couldn't help but laugh, guessing what kind of strategy they were planning and executing.

As expected, he continued to laugh with pure joy.

(Then! Kill this one first!!)

After making up his mind, he was much more determined than Sora and Kurapika.

Uvogin quickly stopped throwing at Sora and closed the distance with Kurapika.

Kurapika clicked his tongue, swinging the Chain while retreating, wanting to open up the distance, but Uvogin grabbed a nearby boulder as if it were made of Styrofoam and used it as a Chain shield to close the distance.

Likewise, Sora also closed the distance behind him.

The luminosity of the eyes had long reached maximum accuracy, azure.

Even so, there was still a trace of Aura in those eyes; Sora was looking for something, trying to see through it.

The eyeballs and surrounding blood vessels were torn severely, and I could almost hear the sound of bursting.

But that pain was also ignored by the mind, and the accuracy increased further, so it sank deeper.

While sinking his senses into the Abyss that obtained these eyes, Sora squeezed out words to escape.

"Nothing illuminates the land of shadows, nothing exists at the bottom of the sea, nothing exists for the sky in the cage."

Spinning while throwing, as if squeezing it out.

A very small vial, like a mini perfume bottle.

He threw a vial filled with black liquid at Uvogin, a liquid as viscous as coal tar.

"Hahaha!!!"

"!??"

However, before Sora's Explosion of words, the vial was smashed.

The shadow beast that manipulated Uvogin's hair was killed by a sonic Bullet.

The moment Sora threw the bottle, Kurapika raised an eyebrow and jumped far back.

Uvogin's reaction made him realize what Sora had done behind him, and he thought it might be the "liquid that absorbs and Eliminates Aura" that Feitan mentioned at the tomb building last night. Brain muscle, performing best in battle. Conversely, unless it's a fight, it doesn't work, so in the end, he's still a muscle-brain.

Moreover, thinking that if the thing thrown was what he expected, he would open it and spill the contents before it hit him, and then Uvogin smashed it in a way that matter could not defend against. I Split it.

Sora and Kurapika put their hands on their ears, easing the force before the sound Bullet exploded from their eardrums, and like their companions last night, a crack sounded.

The coal-tar-like liquid splashed onto the bare ground.

Uvogin turned his head to confirm, but his eyes widened as he realized his judgment was wrong.

... As he turned, Sora in front of him, the whites of his eyes turning red, blood and tears about to overflow from his eyes, was covering his ears... and laughing.

When I thought everything was going according to plan, the smile on her face was the same as the one I had just laughed.

Uvogin suddenly looked up at the sound of the Wind blowing overhead.

Above my head, hung a meteor-like Chain, and a colorful Jewel sparkling with starlight...

Was it handed over before they split up, or did Sora use the Chain to grab it and pull it aside when Uvogin turned before Sora to try to get rid of Kurapika?

Either way, the vial was a bluff to be read.

The favorite is this; if it is an ornament, it is a necklace with many large Jewels on it, because it is an upstart, so the taste is very poor.

Seemingly to convince him, Kurapika is hanging the necklace onto the Ring Finger Chain, turning around with a smile on his face just like the woman opposite him.

(They've caught me!)

Uvogin does not understand what this jewel means, but he is a leg of the Spider, and he was created by these two. Spider web trap I noticed I was lured into

But it was too late.

"There is no meaning in order turning into chaos!!"

Just as Sora chanted the final Spell, all the Jewels above Uvogin's head shattered in unison.

No, it did not shatter, but rather melted all at once, leaving no trace of any gems, turning into viscous sludge like the contents of a small bottle, then falling onto Uvogin's body like raindrops.

"Nuha! What on earth is this stuff!!"

Even though it was liquid, he did not want it to enter his body, hurriedly covering his mouth to prevent himself from swallowing it, but Uvogin quickly fled to the side, his body covered in more liquid than was inside the small bottle.

"... Just in case, as a Nen Ability user, it is an Enhancer!"

While enduring the burning and severe pain in his eyeballs and brain, Sora smiled in response to his joke and opened up the distance again.

Just as Sora said, it looks like a special ability that "invalidates aura," but this is an application of a Transmuter ability in terms of Nen Ability.

A reproduction of the Magic that Sora's sister excels at.

Sora's sister's lineage, naturally, is impossible to know. However, I think it might be a change system.

This is because the sister and Sora have opposite vectors, but are at the same level as the rare Magic Attribute, and because he is the owner of "Five Elements Average One."

Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Heaven, all are high-level five attributes. "Five Elements Average One" has a luxurious worry; because she possesses all attributes, she does not know which attribute of Magic to reach for, but my sister chose to use all attributes. He is a heretical magician.

She is planning and researching to create "Chaos" by simultaneously using and mixing all five elements, and from there to the "Origin Vortex."

This is imitating my sister's Magic; it was an idea that sprouted when I remembered the spirit of the dead at Heaven's Arena.

Filling gems of various attributes with Mana, detonating them simultaneously, melting them together, repelling each other—because they possess everything, nothing happened. Even so, inactive chaotic confusion.

Sora's Magic Attribute is too rare; even the charming teacher at the Clock Tower sighed heavily, and almost no researchers have studied it, let alone the five elements. Since it is nothing, of course it is impossible to go smoothly, so I managed to create it by relying on the attributes of the gems themselves.

This is why it is nothing more than a one-time formal wear with a short effective time, despite its high cost.

It is just one-time use.

This is nothing more than a small trick; once the seed is known, no one will fall for it.

However, even if it is a trick, if the seed is unknown, it is equivalent to performing magic.

One-time is fine. This miracle this time is enough.

Fortunately, this mud of chaos on Uvogin has a similar effect to Kurapika's chains, and as Feitan said, it does not forcibly "extinguish," but rather absorbs it from the end where the aura is emitted and evaporates it. That.

Although it is wasteful, it doesn't matter if the emitted aura is completely evaporated, so Uvogin spent a lot of effort doing a "Kneading," but he was covered by a lot of it.

Although it is said to be a lot, at most it is only about a cup, but even so, in this situation, eating for about ten seconds from the end of the aura is fatal.

Because the end where the aura is emitted is eaten by the mud, the body can only move with natural physical ability. The aura on my feet cannot go too far.

As Sora approached, Uvogin finally evaporated all the mud covering his body, and he put an aura on his fist, but his arm was jerked behind him.

"!?"

Before I knew it, my right arm was entangled by a chain.

That damn thing, the Phantom Troupe's chain with unparalleled heinous effects is only used for killing.

When? Even thinking this is stupid. Without a doubt, this is the strategy.

When Uvogin was covered in the mud of chaos, Kurapika had already thrown the chain at him again.

Of course, even if he released the chain, it would be rendered useless by the mud on Uvogin's body, which would devour his aura.

Uvogin was doing his best to evaporate the mud on his body, and the moment the mud evaporated, he, like his aura, deployed the chain that had been swallowed and rendered ineffective, entangling him and wrapping himself up, being captured again.

The tangled chain wrapped around his own wrist stretched out like a fast-growing vine, wrapping around Uvogin's thick arm.

... However, only the right arm was caught by the chain.

"Don't lick me!"

The moment Uvogin discovered the chain wrapped around his arm, he let out a roar that seemed to pierce the eardrums of the two, tearing off his own arm.

With aura in his left hand, he raised his claws, tore it off, and threw away the right arm entangled by the chain.

In order not to let blood gush out, not only his aura but also his muscles were deliberately condensed to stop the bleeding himself, putting the aura of the left arm into the left arm and swinging it.

Sora is already between the two.

It is her distance, and it is also my distance.

A simple instantaneous battle; the one who arrives first wins.

In Uvogin's mind, he had a mature "Big Bang Impact," and after killing Sora, he did not think of Kurapika.

I just thought this was the perfect moment.

This is the joy of killing each other.

That was a beautiful "eye."

To realize Sora's wish not to kill him, the Nen Ability that only kills Uvogin, the precision of those eyes has been raised to the limit.

If his Nen system were something else, a Manipulation System or a Conjuration System, there would be no need to increase the precision to this extent.

If it were an ability specifically for releasing and separating aura from the body, such as Manipulation or Emitter, then the emitted "Nen" itself, or the object that is the source of the ability carrying the aura. Even if he killed it, "death" is unlikely to be linked to the person with the ability.

Conversely, the Conjuration System is not good at emitting aura outside the body and separating it, but because it materializes the aura, it can create a "path" connecting the ability and the person with the ability, and the person with the ability is invisible. Ability. Already known, if you cut it, you don't have to lock "death" onto the person with the ability.

It is difficult to generalize because everyone's ability is too different for the Specialist System, but even so, the systems that match it are the Incarnation System and the Manipulation System, so in many cases, you can just kill the ability in the same way.

The ability itself cannot be easily killed because there is no need to separate it from the main body of the Transmuter and Enhancer systems.

Especially the Enhancer, if it is a type that enhances the flesh, the aura will attach to both the flesh and the soul at the same time, so even if you intend to kill only a part of the aura, you can definitely kill that part of the aura. The body killed by Sora's direct gaze. Some will never be able to restore function.

I knew it without even thinking.

Nevertheless, Sora persisted.

While understanding that I was struggling, those eyes made me realize that I was just buying time.

If I could kill everything, I would want to kill the ending of "there is no other way but to kill," so I broke my promise, enduring the burning of my eyeballs and brain to improve my accuracy.

To kill Uvogin's Nen Ability, to render him powerless without killing him, he burned away his human parts, his body, burned away his life, scraped it off, and destroyed it completely. The contradictory way of existence is... a human who has lost blessings and adapted to a world of death, on a planet that should have been dead... the Star-Eating Magic Sword wielded by the Iron Earth Knight looks exactly the same.

The blood vessels in the whites of my eyes were dyed bright red as if torn apart, and fresh blood gushed from my eye sockets like tears... yet, that clear sky blue, the supreme beauty, was in the distance. The azure sky, the azure eyes, no one knows about Star Touch Ultimate One, the sky dyed red by the blood of ' ', is just like the blue sky slashed open by the Magic Sword.

Even if you don't know, even if you do know, it won't change.

Those fierce, beautiful eyes have no reason to change.

Although mesmerized by its terrifying beauty, the fist swung down without hesitation did not change.

There is no reason to hesitate.

Because I felt those eyes were too beautiful, this battle began.

——Therefore, the fist being unable to break free is not Uvogin's weakness.

"... Stop licking... you say?... That is! That is my line!!"

A Chain is wrapped around Uvogin's left arm.

It is invisible due to the "Shadow," but the aura wraps around his arm without any obstruction.

It is not the middle finger.

This is the Index Finger Chain.

It has no power.

A chain that moves, expands, and contracts according to Kurapika's will.

It is a colorless and powerless chain, with no strength and no meaning whatsoever.

Because it is colorless and powerless, it is Kurapika's "heart" itself.

"... For someone like you, this chain will not break!!"

Making the same declaration as when capturing Uvogin.

The declaration at that time was broken by Kurapika's own "confusion" and the "answer" he admitted because he could not turn a blind eye.

And now, that "answer" has turned the originally colorless and helpless chain into a chain that can never be broken.

It is not because Uvogin is weak that his fist cannot fall.

It is just that the opponent is too strong.

"I won't let you kill Sora."

This is just a story, that wish is even more powerful than my full-force "Hardness."

Uvogin's heart is filled with such beauty, and he believes in it firmly.

It is foolish to think about how far the strategy goes.

Whether it is manipulation or not, it is all the same in the end.

I don't want him to die, so I will give it my all.

Just this alone makes me annoyed, yet I cannot understand it, so I accept it gracefully.

(——Ah..., this is my loss.)

Sora's fingertips pierce into Uvogin's chest and sink in.

The "Death God" has Penetration.
