Chapter 29 - Post Mortem Nen - Magician

Axel was sitting calmly in his room. He had quite a lot of thoughts in his head. He focused his attention and took a deep breath to clear his mind of distracting thoughts.

Some things had to happen; it was quite normal for people to die.

Axel entered the battle by signing a document stating that dying in battle was acceptable. and the opponents he encountered did the same thing.

They knew what they were getting themselves into and that the outcome of the battle could be death.

Heaven's Arena was a place where battles to the death were allowed as long as two people approved. All of Axel's battles included the possibility of death. Therefore, he couldn't be punished in any way.

The only problem he had to solve, and the only thing he had to do, was deal with emotional issues.

It was necessary to get used to killing someone.

He was doing something at the risk of death, especially if the act of killing occurred during a battle between Nen users.

Therefore, no one can blame him.

He said to himself, "I'm not doing anything bad," and after lighting a cigarette, he started drinking his whiskey.

After finishing his cigarette, he finished his drink and laid down on the bed. Before too long, he fell asleep.

After waking up, he took a shower, ate his breakfast, and moved into the lotus position, continuing to increase his nen level and quality. As long as he continued to focus on training, everything would be fine, and his Nen level would continue to increase.

After killing the woman named Elyse, with whom he had fought the other day, the winged syringe that was flying above his left shoulder vanished. This situation made him scared.

In the world of Nen, there was widespread knowledge known by masters and experienced Nen users.

This data was known as "post-mortem nen" and was collected after a nen user died. The spirit of an individual could attack a killer with a great deal of power coming from the emotions of the individual that died. Nen is the essence of soul power and life force.

After the nen user dies, the leftover nen, if strong enough, will try to fulfill the wishes of the said individual.

Some Nen users have also used post-mortem Nen to create counteractive abilities.

If Winged Syringe had not vanished after Elyse's death and her nen had been strong enough,The winged nen syringe would have been powerful enough to kill himself because of post-mortem nen or residual nen energy. Axel does not believe that he is strong enough to block the power of post-mortem nen.

He didn't want to go through that again. As much as he could, he would not allow the opponent to activate his ability in his next battles.

He might not have been able to successfully recover from every single situation. Especially if the opponent is a manipulator similar to Shalnark or Illumi, if they get their needles on your body and fulfill their conditions, the battle is over in most cases.

He didn't want that to happen.

Hisoka was sitting in his room, calmly looking at the sky.

"I see new toys," he whispered, and he began to make strange noises. Axel and Elyse's battle record was clear on television.

Hisaoka had watched the whole battle between Axel and Elyse, and from what he had seen during the war, Axel started to seemed interesting to him.

"Although he was still inexperienced, he had very good potential."

"I have to wait; there shouldn't be anything I need to do right now."

"It is necessary to wait for the fruit to ripen..."
