Chapter 285 The Great Hero!

Although Moses could easily cut off the control of the armors and human statues with a single blow, he insisted on sending them flying towards Tonpa.

The purpose of doing so was to put pressure on Tonpa's spirit.

He wanted to see…

If he can completely defeat Tonpa on a mental level, can he get rewards from Perception?

As far as the current intensity is concerned, Moses felt that it still needed to be strengthened.

However, he thought that torturing the mind should be done slowly and not rushed.

Therefore, after sending the tenth armor and the fifth head-holding human statue flying towards Tonpa, he stopped his move to 'increasing the troops'.

Moses's deliberate move was noticed by Menchi, who found it quite strange.

But Menchi knew that Moses must have a motive and a reason for doing so, so she didn't inquire further. Instead, she focused on dealing with these things controlled by the Post-Mortem Nen in the ruins.

She wanted to be able to cut off the Post-Mortem Nen on the armors and human statues with a single precise blow, just like Moses.

After her accuracy is up to standard, she would then try to control the force and strive to cut off the Post-Mortem Nen with the minimum amount of physical strength.

Although she wanted to do it, Menchi found it extremely difficult when it came to actually taking action.

"Menchi, what are you doing?"

Moses temporarily ignored Tonpa and turned to look at Menchi, who was poking at the armors and human statues with a spear. A few black lines couldn't help but appeared from his forehead.

Upon hearing Moses's question, Menchi struggled to break the Post-Mortem Nen on one of the armors, and then replied: "I am cleaning up these things and practicing my skills along the way."

"…"

Moses was silent for a moment, then asked somewhat helpless: "Since you're training, why are you using a spear?"

"Ah."

Menchi looked at the spear in her hand and explained: "I just saw it lying by my feet, so I picked it up and used it..."

"Throw it away."

Moses sighed softly.

Hearing this, Menchi immediately threw away the spear in her hand.

With a clang, the rusty spear fell to the ground.

Without the entanglement of Nen, this impact caused the sharp spear to break into several pieces.

Seeing Menchi throw away the spear, Moses raised his left hand and then gathered a bead-sized Nen ball on his fingertip.

Because the basic ability of Soul Echo contains the characteristics of Emitter, although Moses's mastery in the Emission Category could not be considered comprehensive, it was enough to reach a proficient level.

"If you want to practice your skills, use this method."

As he said that, Moses flicked his finger towards one of the armor that was running towards him.

Whoosh—!

The bead-sized Nen ball flew through the air and struck the neck seam of the armor.

Bang!

When the Nen ball touched the armor, it instantly shattered like a bubble.

Then, the seemingly powerless attack caused the armor to disintegrate.

As long as the weak point of the Post-Mortem Nen was hit, even a tiny foam-like Nen ball could kill the armor in an instant.

But the accompanying group of examinees didn't have this ability and they could only rely on the method of 'blind cats catching dead mice' to defeat the armors and human statues. And the success rate is pitifully low.

As a result, many armors and head-holding human statues experienced significant increases in speed and strength after 'resurrecting' several times.

Such a situation increased the pressure on the examinees to face the enemy, which also caused some armors and head-holding human statues to come towards Moses.

The armor trotting over just now came from the examinee. After being resurrected twice, his speed reached the level of 'trotting'.

Seeing Moses hit the weak point of the armor with a small Nen ball, Menchi was astonished. Then, she imitated him and conjured a small Nen ball on her fingertip.

Immediately, she flicked the Nen ball towards the nearest head-holding human statue.

Bang!

The Nen ball hit the Post-Mortem Nen on the statue's finger, causing a jellyfish-like shockwave to explode.

The resulting impact force knocked the head-holding human statue to the ground.

This blow could be said to have hit the mark precisely!

"So easy…"

Menchi didn't seem to expect this result and seemed quite surprised.

A year of undisturbed training had enabled her proficiency in the Emission Category to reach a 'talented' level.

Not only has her level of Hatsu been rapidly improved, but the characteristics of Emission Category had also been significantly improved.

The Nen ball just now was the result of her training.

If she continued to maintain this level of training, her strength would increase rapidly like a rising tide.

"This is a rare opportunity, so just practice with these 'moving wooden stakes'."

Moses was actually somewhat surprised by Menchi's progress in her abilities.

However, when he thought that Menchi can become the youngest Single-Star Gourmet Hunter in history in the future, Moses didn't feel anything special about it.

Some people are just naturally gifted.

But the most terrifying ones are often those who didn't waste their talent.

This is true especially for Moses, and so was Menchi.

Even if they were ahead of others at the starting line, they would never slacken or slow down halfway through. Instead, they would advance without stopping like a rushing river.

Letting Menchi practice freely here, Moses immediately strode towards the group of examinees not far away, who had been tortured physically and mentally by the armors and the head-holding human statues.

He had to lend a helping hand.

Otherwise—

Ignoring the human statues for now, the group of armors holding rusty cold weapons had shown signs of turning into Spider-Man after enduring countless strikes.

If left unchecked, they might pose a threat to him and Menchi.

After all, the quantity is there.

Bang!

With a dull sound, one of the human statues fell to the ground.

"Huff, huff…"

The person who defeated it was Bolton, who had been selected as the temporary leader.

"Damn it, there's no end to it…"

Seeing the head-holding human statue stand up again, Bolton's expression became quite ugly, even a little ferocious.

'These damn things couldn't be beaten down at all.'

'Even if they are knocked down, they would only become even more troublesome after resurrection.'

'But if not knocked down, with so many of them, we would be surrounded.'

The current situation was extremely difficult for them.

"Aaahhh!!"

As the armors became more and more powerful, some examinees were already attacked. After enduring a terrifying tetanus-inducing blow, they screamed and fell to the ground.

Being struck by those rusty cold weapons, even if the wound wasn't fatal, they would die from acute infection afterward, especially in such an environment.

Some people were knocked down, and the examinees' situation became increasingly dangerous.

Just as the situation was about to collapse, Moses arrived.

[Rhythm Echo]

Walking with a fluctuating pace, Moses pulled out a series of afterimages as he moved around.

Then, he moved back and forth among the large group of armors and head-holding human statues, like taking a leisure walk around the park.

Seeing this scene, the examinees, led by Bolton, were stunned.

Immediately afterwards, a scene that shocked them even more occurred.

They saw Moses finally break through the heavy encirclement and come before them. Then, he slowly sheathed his long sword.

After Moses sheathed his long sword, the armors and head-holding human statues around them, which had tortured them physically and mentally, all fell to the ground with a bang, and there was no movement at all.

The area fell into a dead silence.

All the examinees were dumbfounded as they looked at Moses, who seemed to have entered the scene like a hero.

The great hero who rescues those who are in distress!!

The examinees suddenly felt as if they had survived a calamity.

However, Moses didn't pay attention to the excited and thrilled expressions on the faces of the examinees.

Deep inside his consciousness—

The mental toughness from Star of Mankind's Shine has increased from 100% to 105%...

'This…'

Moses was quite surprised.
