Axel and Ging approach the two guards, who are standing alert and ready to fight. The short man with the bald head charges towards Axel, throwing a powerful punch. Axel dodges it with ease, quickly following up with a kick to the man's abdomen. The man stumbles back but manages to regain his balance and charges again. Axel sidesteps and lands a powerful blow to the man's neck, causing him to collapse to the ground.
The man gets up quickly, looks at Axel, and then whispers.
"Hands of Decay"
With the words of the bald short man, his hands concentrated with purplish-colored nen energy that gives off pretty dark energy.
Axel comments on his mind.
"Getting hit with these hands is not good at all."
It was not hard to see that the man used an ability; the change in nen energy quality also shows that this bald man is a transmuter.
Ging, on the other hand, engages in a fierce battle with the tall, bearded man. The man is strong and skilled, dodging and blocking Ging's attacks with ease. Ging notices the man's movements and predicts his next attack, landing a powerful punch to the man's face. The man staggers back but recovers quickly and charges again. Ging jumps back, evading the man's attack, and follows up with a counter-attack, landing a kick to the man's chest. The man falls back but manages to get up and continue the fight.
As they fight, Ging remarks to Axel, "These guards are strong." "It's a good thing we're up for the challenge."
Axel nods in agreement, saying, "Yes, they are. It's important to not underestimate our opponents. We need to be prepared for anything."
Ging adds, "And remember, we don't have to kill them." "Knocking them unconscious is enough."
Axel replies, "I know." "I'll try to be more careful next time."
As they continue to fight, Axel and Ging use their abilities and skills to outmaneuver and defeat their opponents.
Ging looked at Axel as he made a finishing blow on the tall man in front of himself.
"I handled this up; we do not have much time; take care of him quickly."
With the words of Ging, Axel nodded.
"I wanted to fight with this guy longer than usual for experience purposes, but I am on a mission, and I should listen to Ging's words for better results."
Axel thought as two sickles like swords manifested in his hands.
Ging furrowed his brows and nodded. "So, he conjures two sickle swords as weapons; both of them are different colors. Most probably both of these sickles have different kinds of abilities."
At that time. Ging also reacts to a different thing.
Axel vanished like he never existed and then appeared behind the man and slashed with his red-colored sickle, cutting the man's head cleanly and dropping it dead.
Axel stopped for a second after killing the man and looked at Ging as he commented.
"I believe killing is justified at this point."
Ging nodded and had nothing to say. The enemy used his nen ability, and when nen abilities are used, the results cannot be expected with a good deal of mind.
It is better to kill the target at this point, and Ging understood this clearly.
