Chapter 245 Two Rewards

Dis Mendeck can't figure it out, no matter how hard he tried…

Killing a random pickup truck driver back then unexpectedly brought him to this dire situation.

Intense reluctance became Dis Mendeck's only emotion at this time.

The shadow clone had no interest in Dis Mendeck's feelings, and crushed every bone in Dis Mendeck's body systematically and precisely like a robot.

Starting from the toes, then gradually moving upwards.

Crack, crack—

The tidal wave of pain stimulated Dis Mendeck's nerves, making his expression increasingly ferocious and terrifying.

But having lost the ability to resist, he could only passively endure all this.

Wright glanced at Dis Mendeck, who was being tortured, but ultimately said nothing.

The Aura containing twisted will that Dis Mendeck released earlier was enough for Wright to understand what kind of person he was.

'There is nothing wrong with letting this guy die painfully like this.'

Thinking this, Wright naturally gave up the idea of ​​persuading Moses to give Dis Mendeck a swift death.

'However-'

'He's gotten stronger again.'

Wright glanced at Moses's profile, his eyes showing a hint of complexity.

Although he agreed not to interfere in this battle, Wright was still mentally prepared to help at any time.

After all, based on the information he collected during this period, he could confirm that Dis Mendeck was a Nen User who was very good at fighting.

This was also confirmed from the battle in which Dis Mendeck suppressed the 'Four Corners' of the Hex Family.

So Wright originally thought that Moses would be in a tough fight, but he never expected Moses to defeat Dis Mendeck in just a few rounds.

The shock in Wright's heart can be imagined.

'During the time I had been tracking Dis Mendeck's movements, how much stronger had this young man with terrifying talents in front of him become?'

'Looking back on the time when we first met, it's only been about half a year now, right?'

But right now, he even has the feeling that he needed to look up to Moses's strength.

That's why Wright's mood was particularly complicated.

Now, it can be said that he had completely given up on the idea of ​​making Moses his disciple.

"Wright."

Moses looked at Dis Mendeck, who was gradually approaching death, and suddenly said:

"Compared to other professions, bounty hunting is a profession with high risks and low returns, and it also requires a lot of time and effort to track down the targets."

"…"

Wright was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then hesitantly said: "Are you insulting me in a roundabout way?"

"Not at all."

Moses shook his head slightly, gazing at the increasingly dim Aura around Dis Mendeck's body, and said meaningfully: "I just suddenly felt that... becoming such a Blacklist Hunter might be a good choice."

"If you were asking me what I think of bounty hunting, I would definitely answer you by saying, 'Bounty hunting is the most valuable profession'."

Hearing Moses's words, Wright was somewhat surprised, then slowly calmed the complex emotions in his heart, and said seriously and solemnly:

"But this profession is indeed as you said, with high risks and low returns. Not only do you have to bear a lot of unknown risks when chasing criminals, but in many cases, you will get nothing. Of course, Blacklist Hunters have the right to freely choose their targets, so they can also choose to hunt down smaller, less threatening targets."

Detecting the meaning in Moses's words, Wright, who had always hoped Moses would become a Blacklist Hunter, did not excitedly paint Moses a rosy picture of the so-called bright future of bounty hunting.

Rather, he seriously explained to Moses the shortcomings of the Blacklist Hunter profession.

Moses turned his head and glanced at Wright.

After getting along with him so far, how could Moses not see that Wright's calculations? But he didn't say anything about it, after all, it is quite understandable human nature.

However, he didn't expect Wright's current behavior, which seemed to imply: It's not easy to be a Blacklist Hunter, it's the type of job where you work hard but get little recognition, so you have to think carefully before making a decision.

'What a good guy.'

Moses sighed with emotion, and gave Wright a good guy card in his heart. Then, he said seriously: "Wright, after hearing you say that, I suddenly feel like bounty hunting isn't as appealing anymore. Maybe I won't consider it after all."

"This…"

When Wright heard this, a forced smile appeared on his face, and he wished he could give himself a slap.

Moses suppressed his smile, and then looked towards the commotion coming from the direction of the gambling hall's entrance.

He had already preliminarily judged that it was Franklin from the Phantom Troupe causing the disturbance. Considering there were initially two remarkable Aura fluctuations, it is very likely that two members of the Phantom Troupe came here.

Moses didn't want to interact with the Phantom Troupe now. So once Dis Mendeck breathed his last, he would retreat directly.

'It seems my Potential Aura is less than half now. Just in case, it's better to leave here quickly.'

Thinking of this, Moses withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Dis Mendeck, who was barely clinging to life after being crushed halfway.

Earlier, in order to quickly deal with this beast, Moses hadn't considered the issue of potential aura consumption during the battle and had continuously used his Shadow Shifting ability.

This caused his Potential Aura to be directly consumed by more than half, leaving him with about 40% remaining.

If he hadn't split the clone into two at the beginning, he might still have had around 60% of his Potential Aura now.

But Moses still believes that the tactic he had just used was necessary.

Because splitting the clone into two allowed one to attack and the other to defend.

During the attack, they could strike the enemy together, and during defense, he could immediately withdraw to a safe area.

As long as his Potential Aura was sufficient, this strategy could at least ensure an undefeated position.

However, the effect of the first use of Shadow Shifting ability was indeed exceeded Moses's expectations.

Throughout the entire battle, Moses didn't need to use the defensive clone responsible for attracting the enemy's attention at all.

Because the enemy was basically stunned at the sight of the unfamiliar ability of Shadow Shifting.

Shadow Shifting is truly a very practical ability.

If there were any shortcomings, it would be its relatively high consumption.

But this has something with one's current level.

If the level of Hatsu is high enough, or if at least one Limitation for use was set, it would certainly be possible to reduce the consumption.

Wright and Sira, who had never spoken until now, both noticed Moses's action of looking towards the gambling hall's entrance just now.

The two of them are also very concerned about the situation over there.

Wright intended to go and see what was happening, while Sira wanted to find an opportunity to thank Moses before going over.

Compared with their thoughts, Moses was already considering leaving as soon as possible.

"Kill him."

Moses raised his gaze and looked at the shadow clone.

The latter then promptly stepped on Dis Mendeck's neck, ending the life of this B-Rank wanted criminal who delighted in dismembering others.

At the same time.

A voice from the depths of Moses's consciousness sounded.

"Perception is rejoicing in justice, Aura Blade +1."

"The change in your strength shocked Wright's heart. Edge Ten Thousand Sword Swings +1"

Information about the two rewards entered Moses's head.

But before he could check the rewards, a black Nen filled with resentment and unwillingness suddenly rose from Dis Mendeck's body.
