Chapter 378 Uvogin's Attack

The head of the Netero doll flew into the air.

A fleeting glow of Nen appeared on the headless body that remained in place.

This was the Nen Omokage had infused into the doll, and as the doll was destroyed, this Nen dissipated, representing an immediate loss of Omokage's Potential Aura.

Thud-

The head of the Netero doll fell from mid-air to the ground, and the light in its eyes returned to Fiona's.

Moses sheathed his sword and retreated, trying to put as much distance as possible between himself and the members of the Phantom Troupe.

His primary goal right now is still to buy time.

Thus, passive defense and counterattack is the correct choice, and taking the initiative to attack was out of the question.

Omokage hadn't yet recovered from the reality of the Netero doll being decapitated in a single strike.

But Uvogin was already so excited that vigorous Aura erupted from his body.

He had witnessed Moses's strength in cutting down the Netero doll with one strike, confirming that Moses was an opponent who could make him enjoy the fight.

"Let's have a fight!!!"

Uvogin, with veins bulging at his temples in excitement, shouted loudly.

An invisible wave of sound burst forth, seemingly imbued with the traits of the Emission category, instantly spreading throughout the courtyard.

Omokage, the closest to the sound wave, was shaken back to his senses, while Franklin and Phinks, who had crossed the broken wall, frowned and silently endured the noise pollution attack from Uvogin.

Moses, who was over a hundred meters away, along with Kanzai and Fiona, all looked toward Uvogin, who was displaying his aura without restraint.

This bear-like man who casually exposed his chest drew the attention of everyone nearby with this action.

"Enhancer, huh…"

"This person... is an Enhancer, and not a simple one."

Both Kanzai and Fiona, who are both Enhancers themselves, immediately identified Uvogin's category.

Moses, locked onto by Uvogin's warlike gaze, remained unmoved and instead looked at Fiona, who had regained her eyes. He moved his lips, speaking silently.

'Walk.'

Fiona's eyebrows furrowed, recognizing Moses's silent words.

However, it was precisely because Moses asked her to go that she hesitated for a moment.

Koko, who was standing next to her, didn't notice Moses's lip movements. She realized that the situation was extremely bad and all she wanted was to escape from this place as quickly as possible.

What antiques, what reputation...

None of it mattered at this moment.

Koko supported Fiona's shoulders.

Her action seemed to remind Fiona of her duty.

'First get Koko out, then come back...'

Fiona bit her lip lightly, nodded to Moses, then quickly stood up and grabbed Koko with her backhand.

Before Koko could react, Fiona carried her on her shoulders.

Immediately after, Fiona dashed toward the courtyard gate.

Fortunately, the attack power of the Netero doll's 100-Type Guanyin was very average, otherwise, how could she have remained in such good condition after taking a hit?

Fiona and Koko's sudden action seemed like a signal for the battle to begin.

Uvogin didn't need Moses's consent at all, and he charged at Moses like a chariot.

This ferocious charge stirred the surrounding air into a blur.

Moses instantly felt a sense of intense danger.

Enhancer...

This is the type he had always disliked the most.

However, in a one-on-one fight, there were many strategies he could employ.

It's just that…

The enemy wasn't alone.

Moses quickly considered his options.

Kanzai, who was previously knocked away by the Netero doll, now understood the situation.

Even Erin, who had insisted on returning to witness the legendary Hunter, realized that turning back had truly placed them in a dangerous situation.

To salvage the situation, they needed to turn around and leave without hesitation.

Erin lifted her skirt with both hands, ignored the impending battle, and went back along the same route she came.

Her personal bodyguard, Harvey, followed closely beside her.

Kanzai saw this and quickly glanced at Moses.

At this moment, he and Fiona had similar ideas. They both thought about escorting their employers to a safe place first before returning to help Moses.

After all-

Both of them are professional Bodyguard Hunters who have accepted commissions and took their commissions more seriously than their own lives.

Kanzai quickly stepped to Erin's side, and suddenly sensed something. His pupils narrowed, and his Aura surged.

"This is not a filthy sewer."

His tiger-like eyes, which were stained with yellow Nen, swept towards the grass in front of Erin. He suddenly flashed over, mobilized his Aura to gather at his feet, and stepped heavily on the seemingly empty grass.

Boom!

The Nen injected into the ground created shockwaves that rippled like water around Kanzai's feet.

It seemed that Kanzai had intentionally concentrated his power in one spot, so the shockwave's impact was limited to just one meter around him, with most of the force penetrating the ground.

As the sand and grass dust settled, the space several meters in front of Kangzai and Erin twisted and emitted circles of Nen light.

Ryles's figure tumbled out of the ripple and rolled for a distance along the grass, leaving a trail of blood along the way.

"Cough, damn it..."

Ryles didn't bother to check his injuries. He cursed angrily and quickly got up, putting distance between himself and Kanzai.

He never expected the tiger-like man in front of him could unleash such terrifying power the moment he sensed Ryles's presence.

The wild sensory perception and the prompt execution...

This made his [Depths of the Tree Hollow] collapse instantly, almost knocking the breath out of him.

The idea of dragging Erin away for slow enjoyment also fell through at this moment.

Ryles, who was kicked out by Kanzai, attracted the attention of Erin and Harvey, and then they understood the reason why Kanzai suddenly stomped the ground in front of him.

"Damn it."

Erin's face darkened.

Harvey said nothing, but stood guard beside Erin with a serious expression.

Although he has not been in the industry for a long time, he had faced many situations.

Only tonight-

He had an inexplicable feeling that a danger was lingering around like a ghost.

…

On the other side.

Uvogin charged at Moses.

As an Enhancer, his combat style has always been straightforward.

There is no need to probe or plan tactics, as his unstoppable fists can bring him everything he wants.

Whoosh-!

Uvogin swung his arm, and his casserole-sized fist wrapped in condensed Nen broke the wind with a sound like thunder, casting a shadow over Moses's face.

Faced with Uvogin's punch, which seemed to compress the surrounding air, Moses decisively abandoned the idea of confronting Uvogin head-on, and quickly swapped places with the shadow clone he had sent dozens of meters away earlier.

Whoosh!

In the next moment, Moses was dozens of meters away, while the shadow clone was exposed to Uvogin's punch.

However, Moses had prepared himself mentally to endure the pain, as this is a necessary strategy to avoid a direct hit.

Although [Shadow Shift] can give Moses extraordinary mobility, the shadow left behind was likely to bear the brunt of the enemy's attacks.

What awaits the shadow afterwards is either it being unable to withstand the attack and disintegrating, or it being able to withstand the attack and quickly move away.

However-

"Heh."

Uvogin grinned, not letting his punch descend to attack the shadow on the ground but instead swinging his arm horizontally, opening his fist filled with Nen.

Swish, swish, swish!

There were four pieces of gravel in his giant fist. As Uvogin swung his arm, the gravels were wrapped in a red Nen and flew towards Moses, who had just teleported, at a speed comparable to that of a bullet.

Clearly, Uvogin had been using Gyo to gauge the situation when he attacked Moses, so he noticed the movement of the shadow that Moses quietly separated with In.

In addition, Uvogin had the information that Moses could exchange positions with the shadow, so he was able to attack faster than thinking... or in other words, 'predictively'.

Should Moses take on the oncoming rock bullets, or should he go back to the shadow's position to take Uvogin's next heavy punch?

These were the two choices that Uvogin gave Moses in this offensive.
