90 Chapter 18 : Dead

The wind blew violently, the stones around were thrown at an insane speed, piercing the air like revolver bullets, even James who had launched this attack felt a powerful force hit his lungs, he felt all his internal organs hit by a force, to the point where he vomited blood.

"What's going on? I hear a faint heartbeat, did he survive?"

James walked slowly and vigilantly towards the sound of his heartbeat while concentrating his senses to the maximum.

The dust raised by the attack slowly began to dissipate, and James saw a pink, extremely viscous aura ball with Hisoka in it.

"He used his hatsu as an elastic nen cocoon to reduce my shockwave."

James, whose aura was almost exhausted, clenched his teeth at this scene, the pink aura around Hisoka slowly dissipated, he fell to the ground with his eyes completely red, his nose and ears bleeding while licking his bloody lips.

"Oh what joys, what pleasures, this pain, this feeling, ooh James, what a beautiful apple, you look so delicious!"

"I'm so happy!"

Hisoka's bloody eyes looked at James, he rose slowly from the ground while stumbling with a perverse smile, although Hisoka's aura was weak, James felt a remarkable power emanating from Hisoka's body, at that moment Hisoka's nen seemed infinitely powerful, his aura exploded with a malevolence like Jame had never felt before.

His body began to shake, Hisoka began to walk slowly towards him, Jales felt his legs become as heavy as lead, he could no longer take a single step in the face of this evil and violent aura that was overwhelming him.

"AGH!"

James scream and exploded his last reserves of aura out of his body.

"Name, Hisoka Morow!, Evil Detective Assistant, start of the investigation!"

EDA appeared behind James' back, constantly writing on his typewriter.

Meanwhile Hisoka moved slowly and was about 74 feet away from him, James felt an incomparable sense of danger, his instinct warned him to run away, he tried to calm down and began to say.

"My ability is called, Evil Assistant Detective, the second effect of my ability is to deprive my target of 30% of his power!"

James was suddenly surprised because Hisoka was not even slightly weakened, James understood the problem immediately.

"He's deaf!"

Indeed, as James had noticed, Hisoka had gone deaf after undergoing his attack, Hisoka still had the ability to read lips, but at that moment he was in a state of intense psychological activity.

Only the fact of killing James mattered to him, he was not even aware of his wounds or his environment, he had no superfluous thoughts.

All the nen remaining in his body was destined for only one task, to kill James.

Hisoka approached slowly and with each step forward his aura only grew stronger, completely crushing James who was unable to move, his EDA dissipated after the ten second delay.

Eventually Hisoka came within six meters of him, then within five, four.

James concentrated his last strength in his fist, maximizing the whole aura of his body in his right fist.

"Move! Move!" "Move! I've got to move! Move !"

He shouted with all his strength trying to move, his heart was pounding, his forehead was covered in sweat.

"I will not die! I refuse to die!"

Hisoka arrived two meters away from him and then at one meter.

His muscles tighten, strangely at this moment, the words Tojô said to him before resonate in his mind.

'Why be afraid, remember what I told you, give every blow with intent to kill, every move you make must contain your hunger for victory, if you understand this then I have nothing more to teach you.'

"I can't die here, I don't want to die, all my efforts will be in vain, all the difficulties I've gone through, I don't want to die."

A dark aura giving a sense of denial and willingness to fight began to emanate from James, his fist overflowed with a red aura that radiated a sense of courage containing a simple murderous intent.

He managed to take a step forward and landed Hisoka with all his might.

"I want to win!"

James' fist broke Hisoka's chin so hard that his skull broke, but the next second his aura disappeared.

James felt a great pain in his chest, slowly lowering his eyes he saw Hisoka's hand pierce his chest crushing his heart, crossing his body and breaking his spine as it came out of his back.

Hisoka's aura dissipated, his hand left James' body, he fell to the ground with a deformed and bloody skull and a perverse smile on his lips.

James stumbled backwards before falling to the ground staring at the moon in the dark sky above his head.

His blood was flowing on the ground, his skin was gradually turning pale, tears were falling from his eyes.

"I...I...I..."

He tried to whisper something, but fate didn't even give him that chance, for all the glimmer of life left his eyes.

Death is unpredictable and cruel, coming when you least expect it, killing even the greatest of men, and no one is an exception to this rule, James died.

. . . . .

At the same time in the room of the Hotel Paraíso Tranquilo, in the bag next to James' bed, the stock of a Glock 23 illuminated, a rainbow crystal of rectangular shape could be seen hidden inside the stock of the weapon.

The crystal illuminated the whole room for such a brief moment that time itself seemed to stand still, James' body on the bed was suddenly as if cut into an infinite number of images of himself.

The light irradiated the entire planet, illuminating the entire solar system of DSM, then in the next instant, the rainbow light disappeared, time resumed its course, no one noticed what had just happened not even the most powerful traveler.

The hotel room became quiet again, the crystal returned to normal, its light gradually disappearing from the gun.
