Chapter 76
Another punch was enveloped by lava.
Boom!
A single punch struck directly at the woman's abdomen, piercing through it completely.
"Trash!"
Old O withdrew his hand and glanced at the woman's lifeless body lying on the ground before quickly averting his gaze.
The other members of Mad Beast grimaced upon seeing the scene.
On the other side, Old K stepped on a C-level Mad Beast member's back, crushing him underneath.
In an instant, the Mad Beast had already lost two members.
Now, only ten remained.
Meanwhile, the KUTE had suffered no losses.
The difference between the two sides was immediately apparent.
Although the Mad Beast members were some of the most elite Nen users under the control of the Elders of Meteor Street, they still couldn't compare to the KUTE.
The members of this gang of thieves came from all around the world.
At first, each acted alone.
There had even been confrontations among them.
For reasons unknown, the four of them eventually came together and formed a team.
When they were operating solo, each had received S-class bounties.
Once they formed their group, their presence became even more feared.
The KUTO gang could now be considered the most powerful criminal group in existence. (T/N man is it annoying to write their name so often)
Each of the four was an elite Nen user in their own right.
A young man holding a knife charged toward Old K.
Old K remained calm, standing still without moving.
Just as the knife-wielding young man was about to close the distance, a figure appeared in front of Old K.
It was a grotesque figure with a fierce and distorted appearance.
It wasn't human, nor was it a creature.
It was a Nen Beast.
Old K's abilities were similar to those of Ron. Both of them utilized Nen Beasts.
The Nen Beast raised its fist and fiercely slammed it toward the knife-wielding youth.
The youth raised his knife to block.
Boom!
A massive collision rang out.
The young man smiled.
"Now, it's my turn!"
This young man appeared to be a Conjuration-type Nen user, and his main ability was to conjure the knife in his hand.
The knife had a special power.
When it absorbed an enemy's attack, it could store that energy, and when the user attacked, he could stack the absorbed attack on top of his own.
The knife-wielding youth raised his weapon high and aimed it at Old K's Nen Beast.
Pfft!
A deep crack appeared on the Nen Beast's body.
"Die!"
Seeing that his attack had worked, the youth's eyes lit up. He took a step forward, eager to drive his knife into Old K's body, intending to kill him and take his life.
However, what the youth didn't notice was that after the Nen Beast cracked, it didn't disappear.
Instead, it rapidly healed, visibly regenerating in front of his eyes.
By the time the youth took another step forward, the Nen Beast opened its massive jaws and bit down on the youth's neck, tearing away a large chunk of flesh.
Blood was sprayed everywhere.
The youth's eyes bulged in shock, and his body fell uncontrollably to the ground.
On the side, Old U was facing a middle-aged man.
But before starting the man's body began to visibly change at an astonishing speed.
The man's form began to swell, and he quickly transformed. Fur began to grow from his skin—some white, some black.
The transformation was so drastic that he no longer appeared human, but rather like some kind of beast capable of walking upright.
Roar!
A savage, beast-like roar echoed.
Old U, raised an eyebrow.
"Impressive ability!"
"So he is a Specialization-type?"
Old U raised a finger.
Whoosh!
A single drop of water shot out at an incredible speed, heading straight for the beast-man.
Pfft!
It struck his heart.
The beast staggered, momentarily stunned, but soon recovered and continued to charge toward Old U's position.
Old U narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Even a direct shot to the heart doesn't work?"
"Such vitality... it's almost too powerful."
"Or is the heart no longer the vital point?"
"Regardless, it won't matter."
"If it were any other time, I wouldn't mind playing around with you."
"But not now."
Just as the beast was about to reach Old U, a mass of water suddenly shot up from the ground, binding the beast as if it were a rope.
In the next moment, more and more water appeared, quickly enveloping the beast entirely.
The beast struggled desperately, unable to breathe.
But no matter how strong the beast was, in this water, his power couldn't manifest.
Old U's ability was a perfect counter to the beast.
Although he wasn't weak by any means. In fact, he was among the top members of the Mad Beast.
However, Old U held a significant advantage.
One: Old U was just plain stronger as a nen user, and two: Old U's ability completely suppressed him, making it virtually impossible for the middle-aged man to defeat Old U.
The beast man's face grew increasingly red as he struggled in the water, eventually succumbing to unconsciousness.
Old U gave a slight mental command, and the water disappeared, though a small stream still entered the middle-aged man's body.
"I see!"
After a moment, Old U showed a look of realization.
"Three hearts, no wonder you can survive after one is destroyed."
"That's all, huh?"
"I thought this would be more interesting."

Some distance away
A woman Conjuragated a rifle and stood on one of the garbage mountains, providing support for the Mad Beast members, creating trouble for the KUTE gang with her ranged attacks.
However, just as the woman was about to pull the trigger
Pfft!
A sapling shot up from the ground, piercing directly into her body.
It quickly spread inside her, and the woman's pupils contracted as her body began to twitch.
Old T glanced over briefly before looking away.
"How annoying... like a fly buzzing around."
--
A young man with a somewhat gloomy expression stood at the edge of the war zone, his eyes constantly scanning the area.
He had concealed his aura and was looking for an opportunity.
Finally, the young man found his moment.
He moved close to Old O.
He was targeting Old O's specifically because of his severed arm, the wound hadn't healed yet.
The Mad Beast members currently fighting Old O noticed the young man's movements and immediately increased their offensive to distract Old O, making sure he couldn't focus on the young man.
Pfft!
A sharp blade glazed Old O's stump.
Old O winced in pain, his expression twisting into a snarl.
"Get lost!"
With one strike, he hit the young man.
Boom!
The young man was sent flying backwards, a large burnt patch on his chest.
Not only had his clothes been burned off, but the flesh of his chest was also scorched.
Yet, the young man showed no signs of concern. Instead, he smiled smugly at Old O.
"The battle is over!"
The young man picked up his dagger and licked the blood off of it.
"My ability is blood manipulation!"
"Now that you have a wound, no matter how small, blood will keep flowing out."
"And it will all obey my command!"
The young man raised his hand high.
In the next moment, Old O's expression changed to one of discomfort as he realized his blood was being affected.
Suddenly, he felt a rush of heightened excitement surge within him.
