Chapter 170 : Germain vs Uvogin!!

"Chains again?"

Nobunaga immediately remembered the "chain" that had pierced Uvogin's thigh before, which had made the "Nen" in Uvogin's leg vanish, as if forcing him into Zetsu state.

Sure enough, when he glanced sideways, he saw Kurapika holding up his middle finger not far away.

Naturally, Kurapika's middle finger was connected to the "Middle Finger Binding Chain."

"I almost forgot about this guy. So he's here."

"The kid's intention to attack is way too obvious. This is typical of a novice... huh? No, it's too obvious. He's just pretending to draw attention!"

"He has accomplices!"

Years of battling for his life had taught Nobunaga to quickly understand why Kurapika was attacking so directly.

He sneered and, while scanning his surroundings, swiftly turned his blade and cut the "binding middle finger chain" again!

"Tsk."

Kurapika let out a frustrated breath, retracted the broken chain, and charged at Nobunaga once more.

"This kid is really good at acting... He pretends to be alone and reckless, fitting for his age, while hiding the real threat..."

"But I know you're not that reckless. In fact, you're quite calm. Damn, you're like a second 'Germain.'"

Nobunaga stopped, ignoring Kurapika entirely. Instead, he turned and swung his sword behind him, his movements smooth, natural, and incredibly fast!

"Don't underestimate me!" Nobunaga shouted.

Bisky, who was planning to attack from behind, had to twist her body to the side to avoid the sharp blow.

However, a large section of her fluffy princess dress was cut off, exposing her thick, stocking-covered thighs.

"A woman with a figure like Uvogin's?!"

Nobunaga was secretly surprised and quickly drew a circle with the tip of his sword, ready to perform his move, "Cut Everything Within the Circle."

But just as his blade was about to cut through the air, a sudden force stopped it.

Nobunaga looked over in confusion and saw a woman with short black hair and glasses, holding a vacuum cleaner that seemed alive.

The vacuum cleaner opened its mouth wide, and a strong suction was trying to pull the sword from Nobunaga's hand!

Nobunaga's long sword trembled in his hand, almost as if it had a life of its own, wanting to escape his grip and fly to its new owner.

"Is it magnetic force? Or some kind of suction that affects all inanimate objects? What did the 'Bomb Trio' do to let so many of Germain's accomplices get away?!"

Nobunaga had to hold the sword tightly with both hands to prevent it from being pulled away by Shizuku's "Blinky." If he lost his weapon, his fighting ability would drop significantly.

Bisky and Kurapika were getting closer and wouldn't let such a chance slip by.

"The woman in the back is the strongest, followed by the one with the strange vacuum cleaner, and lastly the one with the chain. Damn Germain, so he set up a trap here…"

Nobunaga narrowed his eyes, realizing he had to make a tough choice: abandon the sword and escape or fight to the death.

Just as he was about to decide, an unexpected turn of events created a third option in the battle.

Boom—

"What..." Nobunaga's words were cut short in shock.

A loud explosion echoed through the sky, and a powerful shockwave rushed toward the mountain like a hurricane, pushing him and a group of onlookers away toward the opposite side of the mountain and into the woods. 

Nobunaga was forced into the air, still gripping his beloved sword tightly.

He opened his eyes slightly and looked back, vaguely seeing a brilliant golden light coming from the direction of the train, which was now only half intact.

That was the terrifying force of Uvogin's "Big Bang Impact," unleashed with about 80% of its power! Earlier, Uvogin had been chasing Germain on the train's roof.

From his high vantage point, he soon spotted Nobunaga surrounded by three people, all of whom were Germain's accomplices.

However, Nobunaga seemed focused on the kid using the "chain" and didn't notice the two women sneaking up on him nearby.

He frowned in annoyance.

"The people Chrollo hired at a high price are either trying to take advantage of the situation like Illumi or are just as useless as the Bomb Trio. As expected, none of them can be trusted!"

Even Uvogin and Nobunaga, who often argued with each other, were united in their suspicion and rejection of new members.

After all, the two new members, Hisoka and Germain, were responsible for the deaths of most of the "Phantom Troupe" members, forcing them to rebuild the group.

Given this history, Illumi, who used to support Hisoka and Germain, had now become neutral. The Bomb Trio was simply a chaotic group.

How could Uvogin and Nobunaga trust them?

Only Chrollo had the confidence to hire people he wanted and avoid those he didn't.

But Chrollo isn't infallible, and he made another wrong call.

Uvogin frowned, considering giving up the chase for Germain to help Nobunaga, but suddenly, a figure jumped out from the carriage and landed in front of him.

It was Germain.

"This guy really knows how to make an entrance... No, this is exactly what he wants. He planned to appear right now. Everything is going according to his plan."

Uvogin gritted his teeth, realizing it was impossible to rush to help Nobunaga with Germain in the way. So, he repeated his old tactic, slightly bent over, and put his hands on the roof of the car again!

"Uh ah ah ah—"

With another roar, he tore off the roof of the train car and hurled it toward Germain.

Germain jumped back, landing on the roof of a car at the back. He conjured his "Cleaver" and swung it down hard, cutting the flying roof in half.

As the roof pieces fell away from Germain, he saw Uvogin gathering energy.

Uvogin faced Germain, taking a stance as if to unleash a powerful attack, and his right fist shone with golden light!

"Big Bang Impact!"

It didn't take long for Uvogin to gather energy. He needed Nobunaga's protection just in case. At this moment, he only needed to build up 80% of his strength and release it all at once!

Boom—

A burst of golden light erupted, and a massive "sun" suddenly rose from the edge of the cliff. The train, which was only half intact, shot up as if it had been split in two!

The explosion's shockwave spread out, causing the entire cliff structure to loosen. It gradually broke apart with a crackling sound that sent chills down people's spines!

The train left the tracks and, with a loud clang, flipped over toward the deep valley.

A few passengers remained in the carriage, and all they could do was let out desperate wails that echoed through the valley.
