Chapter 246 Nothing To Fear

Moses was very sensitive to Post-Mortem Nen.

The moment Post-Mortem Nen appeared on Dis Mendeck's body, Moses sensed it and immediately looked at Dis Mendeck's body.

Since coming to this world, Moses had witnessed several types of Post-Mortem Nen, but this was the first time he had seen its birth with his own eyes.

It looked as if the soul after death was about to dissipate but was forcibly retained by strong thoughts, thus continuing to exist in some allowed form in the world.

Wright then also noticed Dis Mendeck's Post-Mortem Nen, his face couldn't help but change, and he said with anger in his eyes: "This bastard deserved to die a thousand deaths! Even after death, he continues to disgust people!"

While scolding angrily, Wright stood in front of Moses.

Even a battle between Nen Users will hardly give rise to the existence of Post-Mortem Nen.

If encountered, it would be a very tricky problem.

Why?

Because this kind of Post-Mortem Nen, with its absolute directionality, would constantly entangle its target like a vengeful spirit.

Although Nen Users can easily resist the threat from Post-Mortem Nen with their Aura, once the Nen Users closes their Aura Nodes, the Post-Mortem Nen, like maggots, would immediately erode their bodies.

This was the most tricky aspect of facing Post-Mortem Nen, as it is equivalent to being haunted by the dead.

Wright wanted to protect Moses, but...

The Post-Mortem Nen are similar to vengeful spirits in a sense.

And as the saying goes, where there's a grudge, there's a claimant. Even if there are ten more Wright standing in front of Moses, they cannot stop the process of the Post-Mortem Nen attaching to Moses.

Whoosh——!

The Post-Mortem Nen born out of Dis Mendeck's strong resentment suddenly flew towards Moses.

Wright wanted to block it for Moses, but the Post-Mortem Nen directly passed through Wright's body and wrapped around Moses's body like swirling smoke.

"Moses!"

Wright turned around instantly and looked at Moses with a worried look on his face.

But what he saw was Moses's slightly cheerful smile.

"You're still smiling at a time like this?"

Wright stared with wide eyes.

Sira next to them was about to interject, but interrupted by the sudden appearance of sudden Post-Mortem Nen.

She looked at the Post-Mortem Nen entwined around Moses, feeling somewhat at a loss.

Facing Wright's concerned gaze, Moses smiled and said: " I'm glad to see that guy leave Post-Mortem Nen. It means he died unwillingly, doesn't it?"

"…"

Wright immediately had no way to refute, his eyes glanced at the swirling Post-Mortem Nen, furrowing his brows as he said: "But..."

"This is nothing."

Moses raised his hand and lightly touched the Post-Mortem Nen, and said coldly: " Or should I say, it's not something worth fearing."

Before he finished speaking-

Moses took the initiative to close his Aura Nodes.

Without the defense of Aura, the lingering Post-Mortem Nen seeped into Moses's body in the blink of an eye.

"Moses, are you crazy!?"

Seeing Moses's suicidal action, Wright's expression changed drastically.

After all, to voluntarily remove the defense and allow the Post-Mortem Nen to invade his body was tantamount to seeking death.

Once a Nen User lost the protection of Nen, they were no different from ordinary people in the face of Post-Mortem Nen.

Moses remained silent and closed his eyes.

In the depths of his consciousness, under the starry night sky, the Post-Mortem Nen that seeped into the body appeared here.

Then, under the radiance of the stars, this Post-Mortem Nen fell to the ground without any resistance, and instantly turned into an existence like 'nourishment' or 'stockpile'.

Moses was someone who had died once before, so strictly speaking, both his body and soul possessed the attribute of Post-Mortem Nen.

And this Post-Mortem Nen coming from Dis Mendeck was simply insignificant in front of his 'Post-Mortem Body'.

If it was a Post-Mortem Nen that shook or distorted the mind, Moses, who has 'Star of Mankind's Shine', does not need to worry.

'Is it consumed or assimilated...?'

This is the first time that Moses has tried this method. Even with the knowledge of Exorcising Nen he obtained, it is difficult to tell where the Post-Mortem Nen had gone to.

The only thing he could confirm was that it was neither sublimation nor dissipation. But because Dis Mendeck's Post-Mortem Nen had disappeared, Moses didn't continue to investigate. Instead, he extracted the information about the two rewards he had just received.

Aura Blade +1 is Dis Mendeck's ability. It is delivered to Moses as a reward. In fact, it was like the Hundred-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva - First Palm, a technique that could only be used once.

Compared to Netero's Hundred-Style Guanyin, the effect of this Aura Blade...can't even be called a trump card.

But something was better than nothing.

This is Moses's attitude towards this reward.

The other reward of Edge Ten Thousand Sword Swings is essentially very similar to the 'Double the Training Efficiency' and 'Star of Mankind's Shine' buffs that Moses received before.

It's just that Moses must meet the conditions of swinging sword ten thousand times every day for three consecutive months to extract the effect of this buff.

The problem is, Moses had no idea what he would gain after meeting the conditions.

'Isn't this... Netero's Ten Thousand Punches of Graditude?!"

After understanding the content of this reward, Moses immediately associated it with Netero's Ten Thousand Punches of Graditude, and then thought about his previous need for 'swordsmanship'.

'Sure enough—'

'The form of reward given by Perception is basically extracted from my unconscious 'cognition'.'

'That's why there is this reward which resembled Netero's Ten Thousand Punches of Graditude.'

Moses subjectively did not expect this form of reward at all, but Perception helped him make a decision from an objective perspective: No, this is the kind of reward you want.

That is to say…

All the information related to the 'Hunter x Hunter' World that existed in his mind might become part of the rewards given by Perception.

For example, Nanika, who has not yet appeared, has the ability to make wishes that seems to have no upper limit.

Moses knew such a thing existed.

So, after meeting 'certain reward conditions', maybe this Perception of unknown origin can also create a replica of the wishing machine ability.

Overall, although he was given two rewards this time, the quality is actually very average.

Most likely, it was because it wasn't very difficult to kill Dis Mendeck.

This is very consistent with the mechanism of Vows and Limitations.

It can only be said that in the world of Nen, the principles of Vows and Limitations may exist everywhere.

The only difference was that some were active, and some were passive.

However…

Whether it was Dis Mendeck or Wright,

They were both characters who didn't appear in the original work, but Perception had given two rewards from interacting with them.

Moses wouldn't overturn his previous conclusion about Perception because of this, but he just thought of the meaning of the sentence 'very satisfied'.

'No matter what, doing what I believed to be right was enough.'

Moses stopped his random thoughts and slowly opened his eyes, only to see Wright's face, which is full of worry.

"I'm fine, that Nen is no longer there."

"Huh? No more?"

Wright looked shocked and asked: "Moses, you... are you a Nen Exorcist?"

"I'm not."
