Chapter 110

Gluttony's death allowed Kyler to regain a bit of consciousness. 

But that was all.

Kyler couldn't and wouldn't survive this.

"Why am I so unlucky?" 

"Lina, I envy you so much!"

"Come back to me, become my power. Wouldn't that be better?"

"I'm your father."

"But now, I will die because of you."

"I curse you!"

"I curse you!"

And with those words Kyler slowly passed away 

Kyler is dead.

Yet his Nen did not disappear. Instead, it began to fester and multiply, feeding off his shattered corpse and decaying flesh like maggots writhing in rotting meat.

Ron narrowed his eyes.

"Nen after Death!"

The Death Nen was born.

A shadowy mass emerged.

Baki and Killer Queen tensed up, sensing the danger.

However, the Death Nen didn't target them. It had no interest in them.

The shadow headed straight in the direction of the Sky Arena.

Ron seemed to realize something.

His Nen moved.

In the next instant, Baki and Killer Queen vanished.

Ron's nen returned to him.

He quickly moved to the adjacent room.

He pushed open the door.

Nina looked up.

"Big brother?"

At that moment, the Death Nen had already reached the window of Nina's room.

It pierced through the glass and rushed into the room.

Its target was Nina.

A surge of murderous intent erupted from the Death Nen, enveloping Nina entirely.

Outside, the White Bear seemed to sense something. It charged into the room and roared in the direction of the window. Its fur stood on its end in agitation.

Ron released his Nen.

Nina seemed to have guessed what was happening. Her face paled.

The shadow slowly transformed into Kyler's form, his expression twisted in a grotesque snarl as he glared at Nina.

Nina's face grew even paler.

Ron stood in front of Nina.

"Hmm?"

At that moment, Ron felt a strange stirring from the cockroach disaster bone he had acquired—it seemed to be reacting.

The Death Nen lunged at Nina.

Ron using quick thinking grasped the egg-bearing bone and swung it at the Death Nen, as if wielding a blade.

"Swish!"

Ron could almost hear something being easily sliced apart by the sharpness of the bone.

The Death Nen was cleaved in two by the egg-bearing bone.

But that was only the beginning.

A powerful pulling force erupted from the bone, directed at the Death Nen.

The Death Nen, drawn in by this force, began to rush towards the bone and entered it.

As the Death Nen was absorbed, the egg-bearing bone began to change.

Its surface became smoother.

The eggs embedded in the blade sank deeper into the weapon.

A faint ghostly glow emanated from the bone.

The handle of the bone turned a milky white, slightly rough.

All the eggs concentrated themselves along the blade.

The shape of the blade, once resembling a cleaver, slowly morphed into a short, curved blade.

Before long, all of the Death Nen had been absorbed.

A surge of information flowed back from the egg-bearing bone.

"Has the Nen tool been completed?"

Ron's eyes lit up. 

Since acquiring this bone, Ron has been continuously using his Nen to cleanse it. 

Since Zeno said that the bone was of great value, Ron of course believed it. 

A long time had passed, and now, it had finally been completed.

"Resilient, sharp… the characteristics of a normal blade are present in this one, and its strength is far superior to a regular steel blade," Ron muttered. 

"Moreover, this blade has another very important ability."

"Egg attached to the bone!"

"As long as this blade strikes and creates a wound, many eggs will grow at the site of the injury."

"These eggs will continuously absorb the target's Nen."

"The target cannot easily remove them."

"As time passes, the more Nen is absorbed, the more eggs will proliferate."

"Constantly multiplying and absorbing, creating a vicious cycle."

"Until the target dies."

Ron nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad, this ability is excellent."

--

As a Nen user who specializes in emission-type abilities and follows the Nen Beast route, with a far superior Nen capacity compared to most others of his level, Ron's speciality is actually in prolonged battles.

Bki fights head-on.

Killer Queen supports from the side with sneak attacks.

Chii manages intelligence.

It was just like when they faced Gluttony, who had consumed Sloth and was enhanced.

One-on-one, Baki would have had a hard time defeating Gluttony.

Therefore, Ron employed a strategy in which Baki and Killer Queen coordinated their efforts.

Baki engaged Gluttony, while Killer Queen attacked from the side.

Gluttony had no choice but to split his attention between the two, which greatly drained his energy. He would never be able to win in a prolonged battle, that was an area that Gluttony was unskilled at.

That was why Gluttony had rushed toward Killer Queen first, trying to take her out.

In his haste, he exposed a critical weakness.

On top of that, Gluttony wasn't very familiar with Baki's and Killer Queen's abilities.

His defeat was inevitable.

"This blade shall be named the Rotten Life Blade," Ron decided.

"With the Rotten Life Blade, I will be even more capable in prolonged battles."

Ron withdrew his Nen, and the Rotten Life Blade returned to its ordinary form. It appeared like any regular blade now. 

The eggs embedded in it were no longer visible.

Even the Nen energy seemed to have receded significantly. If one weren't paying close attention, they wouldn't even notice this was a Nen tool.

"I'll need to prepare a scabbard for this blade," Ron mused.

"It'll be more convenient to carry it around."

He planned to keep it with him. Although Killer Queen's spatial abilities could store the blade, it would be inconvenient. Having to summon her and retrieve the blade from her body would take time, even if it was fast.

Ron carefully stored the blade and turned to Nina.

Nina lowered her head, lost in deep thought. 

Ron could see that her expression was complex, very complex.

But Ron understood.

He didn't say much more, simply patting Nina on the shoulder.

"Once we step out, I need you to watch a video."

With that, Ron turned and left the room.

Even after transforming into a "Synth Beast", Nina hadn't harboured hatred for Kyler. It wasn't until he repeatedly targeted her, creating chaos, that Nina became upset.

However still, all Nina wanted was to drive Kyler away, not confront him.

But Kyler had sought to kill her.

Transforming into the Death Nen, he hadn't harboured hatred for Gluttony who had slain him. 

He didn't seek revenge on Killer Queen or Baki either.

Instead, he wanted to kill Nina.

This shook Nina's worldview to its core.
