The next moment, Dandins's body began to expand again.
But this time was different.
Previously, when Dandins's body had swelled, he had retained his humanoid form. Now, though, he was transforming into something monstrous.
He became a sphere.
His diameter grew—three meters, four meters, Six meters…continuing until he reached a daunting ten meters, at which point the growth finally stopped.
Numerous eyeballs began to grow.
Then arms.
A green, slimy substance oozed onto the ground, eating away at the floor upon contact.
Ron frowned.
"Not only does he perform human experimentation on others, but he also experiments on himself?"
"To turn into such a grotesque form."
"He does resemble some Conjuration-type monsters."
"But even so, how strong can he really be?"
After assessing Dandins's condition, Ron calmed down.
"Attack quickly!"
He commanded his Nen beast.
Hanma Baki stepped in front of Dandins.
Killer Queen clenched her fist, slamming it down onto the floor with a powerful blow.
*Boom!*
The ground caved in.
Killer Queen picked up a piece of debris.
"First Bomb!"
Every single eye on Dantins' grotesque form was fixed on Ron, filled with murderous intent.
"Brat!"
"You must die!"
"To think you forced me to this point… I must kill you!"
"In this state, not even the Shadow Beasts are a match for me!"
"You won't survive today!"
"I'll devour you alive!"
Ron listened to Dandins's threats but remained unfazed.
No matter how terrifying he appeared to be, Dandins was still just a Nen user.
Dantins was still only at the level of a C-rank Nen user.
His aura level was made that clear.
He simply had a larger aura reserve in this form and his abilities had shifted to now being more tankyer.
As long as he remained at C-rank, Ron knew he wouldn't lose!
"Gluttony may have also undergone Dandins's modifications."
Ron studied Dandins monstrous form, recalling Hanma Baki's battle with Gluttony.
Hanma Baki and Dandins collided with each other.
This time, Baki was overpowered in sheer strength.
However, Ron quickly allocated more aura to Baki.
In Ron's strategy, Baki played a crucial role.
His task was to keep Dandins occupied.
Meanwhile, Ron and Killer Queen would attack from afar.
Neither needed too much aura for this.
As long as Baki could hold him off long enough, victory would be Ron's.
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
Dandins and Hanma Baki collided repeatedly.
In both strength and size, Dandins had a clear advantage.
But in technique, Baki far surpassed Dandins.
Baki was a master with countless techniques and experience.
Dandins, in contrast, was a brute relying on sheer physical force.
Don't get it wrong, in his human form, Dandins had some skill.
But this monstrous state wasn't something he was used to fighting in, it was his trump card, therefore
he hadn't even fully adapted to it.
*Swish!*
A sharp sound cut through the air.
A piece of shattered floor pierced into Dandins body.
Immediately, Killer Queen's ability activated.
Chunks of Dandins's flesh disintegrated.
Meanwhile, Ron continued to wield the Rotten Life Blade.
Black energy strikes landed across Dandins's massive form.
His entire body was now covered in parasitic insect eggs. (t/n eww)
These eggs were draining his aura.
Dandins grew more furious.
In his anger, a sense of despair began to surface.
Even after transforming into this monstrous form, he realized he still might not be a match for Ron.
Those eerie insect eggs.
Killer Queen's relentless explosions.
And the unyielding Hanma Baki blocking his path.
As time dragged on, his condition worsened.
To make matters worse, Dandins couldn't think of a way to break free.
He was out of tricks.
"Damn it!"
"Why has it come to this?"
"How is this kid so powerful?"
"Who did Greed bring back?"
"Greed betrayed me!"
"Could it be that Gluttony, Sloth, Rage, and Envy were all killed by this kid?"
A thought crossed Dantins' mind.
"It might really be the case."
"Kyler wouldn't have lost interest in Lena."
"If Lena found Ron…"
"Then Ron killed Kyler, Gluttony, and Sloth to protect her."
"To avoid future troubles, he killed Rage and Envy as well."
"He came to Aurean to kill me?"
"Did he do all of this for Lena?"
"Kyler!"
"This is all your fault!"
At this moment, Dandins felt a deep hatred toward Kyler.
His fury surged because he now saw this as a misfortune entirely brought upon him by his despised useless disciple.
Kyler had brought a fatal crisis upon him!
---
The ground was soaked in blood.
Dandins's form was gradually shrinking.
Under the relentless assault from Ron's Rotten Life Blade and Killer Queen, Dandins was far from the monstrous strength he had displayed earlier.
This allowed Hanma Baki to find an opening.
"Triceratops Blow!"
Hanma Baki's fist struck Dandins's midsection.
*Boom!*
A sonic blast resounded as the point of impact on Dandins's body rippled outwards.
Dandins's form involuntarily staggered back.
He looked towards Ron, his gaze turning cold.
"Brat, you've pushed me too far!"
"Do you really think you're strong?"
"I don't know why you'd go to such lengths for Lena, even coming to Aurean to kill me."
"I underestimated your strength."
"But even if I die, you won't escape unscathed!"
"You won't make it out of Aurean alive!"
"The Underworld Mafia will destroy you!"
The next moment, Dandins compressed his entire aura inward.
His flesh and blood began to decay, falling away.
Then—
*Boom!*
A tremendous explosion burst forth.
*Whoosh!*
