Inside the Land of Exile.
Gray dust was everywhere, floating in the air.
The ground was a pale, bone-like expanse of rocky terrain, dotted with grotesquely misshapen stones that stretched haphazardly across the barren landscape.
Looking around, at the end of the field of vision there are wisps of hazy smoke, vaguely surrounding the place to form a huge oval shape.
If those puffs of smoke were the boundary line, then the area of the Nen Space would be only about the size of a football field.
'A Nen Space...'
Moses quickly took a look around.
The moment he was transferred to the Nen Space, since the connection with the shadow clone was still there, he immediately tried to take the shadow clone back, but he failed.
At the same time, he also tried to use the Teleportation Divine Script he had arranged in advance, but it also failed to activate.
This made Chrollo's intent abundantly clear.
"Quite the calculation."
Moses remarked as he looked at Chrollo.
'There is no doubt that this guy must have been working hard to find a Nen Ability that specifically targeted my abilities.'
Chrollo's expression remained calm, "As expected, you are also a Specialist. Because of that, this particular entry... requires no cost."
After saying that, he didn't care about Moses's reaction and began explaining: "This Nen Space is called the Land of Exile. The effect of the ability is to select a target to enter, but before activating the ability, you need to know the target's name, and..."
Whoosh-
A sudden, sharp sound of something breaking through the air interrupted Chrollo's explanation.
It was Moses who had used the Super Speed: Bullet at Chrollo.
The black sword turned into a dark lightning and pierced through Chrollo's face directly.
Then, it flew into the smoky boundary at the edge of the rocky ground with undiminished power, creating ripples before disappearing entirely.
However-
Chrollo's face, which had been pierced, only shimmered like disturbed water before returning to its original form.
"Until I finish explaining the 'rules', all attacks are nullified."
Chrollo didn't care about Moses's sudden attack and explained calmly.
The attack just now did not cause any pain and would not cause any harm.
"At the same time, due to the 'Nullification' mechanism... you should be able to feel that the Aura you just expended has been returned to you."
Chrollo's gaze remained steady, scrutinizing Moses as if appraising a lifeless object.
Moses's expression remained normal, not revealing any information because of Chrollo's remarks. Then, he said calmly, "What a shame. I thought that might end you right there."
In fact, the Aura he expended just now was indeed returned...
From this, it can also be determined that this Nen Space have a 'rule-based' Conjuration-Type Ability.
Chrollo ignored Moses's words and continued to introduce the rules of the Nen Space:
"After the user selects a target and enters the Nen Space, he will pay a price of varying degrees depending on the target's Nen Category."
"At the same time, the user cannot use any other Nen Abilities except the Land of Exile, and this Nen Space will not dissipate even if the ability is deactivated. In a sense, it exists forever."
This is the price Chrollo paid for sending Moses into this Nen Space.
Not only does he have to use part of his Manifested Aura to maintain the Nen Space, but he can no longer use other Nen Abilities.
"There is only one way to escape from the Land of Exile, and that is... to kill the other party."
An emotion finally appeared in Chrollo's dark and deep eyes, a cold, cutting killing intent.
Moses raised an eyebrow, surprised by the revelation:
"It seems that you have been 'weakened' quite a bit. I'm quite curious, where do you get your confidence from? You can just outnumber me, so why do you insist on engaging in a one-on-one duel? Is this the tradition of your Phantom Troupe?"
"You'll understand soon enough."
As Chrollo spoke, he slowly closed the Bandit's Secret.
One of the conditions to use Bandit's Secret is that he must open the book when using the stolen Nen Ability. Otherwise, the Nen Ability will become ineffective after closing the book.
However, the Land of Exile has a mechanism that will not disappear due to the removal of the ability, so even if Chrollo closes the book, the Nen Space will still exist.
"Now comes the fun part."
The closed book in Chrollo's hand gradually faded away, and Moses watched closely.
Moses was familiar with the mechanism of Bandit's Secret, and thinking about Chrollo's explanation just now, he suddenly understood what the so-called fun was.
Since this Nen Space will not disappear just because the ability is removed, Chrollo can remove the Bandit's Secret without any burden, thus getting rid of the limitations brought by the Land of Exile.
It was clear what this meant.
Moses's eyes narrowed slightly, and he saw Chrollo once again conjured the Bandit's Secret.
Yes.
When the Bandit's Secret is dismissed by Chrollo, it means that Chrollo no longer has to bear the limitations brought by the Land of Exile, and he can use all the stolen Nen Abilities at will.
"Looks like there's no need for further explanation."
When Chrollo saw Moses's reaction, the killing intent in his eyes did not diminish, but his tone was as calm as ever: "Was it Hisoka?"
What he meant was that when he saw Moses had some understanding of his Nen Ability, he thought that it might be Hisoka who provided the information to Moses.
"Yeah, he was very cooperative."
Moses understood what he meant, calmed down a little, and threw Hisoka under the bus without hesitation.
When Chrollo heard this, he showed no reaction.
"Well, it doesn't matter. You'll die here anyway. And just so you know… I never planned for this to be a one-on-one fight."
"…Huh?"
Moses frowned.
