Inside the Nen Space, it was now a three-on-one situation.
Outside the Nen Space, once Moses's shadow clone is attacked, the pain will be fed back to Moses in real time.
Chrollo had gathered all this intel and meticulously orchestrated the current scenario.
So, how could the prey, who is now caught in the deepest part of the web, possibly escape?
Chrollo didn't think Moses could break free from such a predicament.
'Stall him until the explanation phase ends.'
Chrollo used the ability of teleportation as an evasive means, not giving Moses any chance at all.
From the beginning, Moses had never thought of catching Chrollo in a short period of time. His aggressive assault was primarily aimed at forcing Chrollo to expend a significant portion of his Potential Aura.
And Chrollo's evasive approach was exactly what Moses wanted.
Meanwhile, Uvogin looked at Moses and Chrollo who were engaged in a fierce offensive and defensive battle, and veins bulged on his forehead and neck.
"Love, hurry up and finish this troublesome explanation phase!"
His whole body radiated overwhelming Aura as he urged Love in his typical brash manner.
However, Love remained unfazed by Uvogin's outburst, and continued to carry out the mandatory explanation phase at her own pace.
This process took about two minutes.
"All done."
The moment Love's explanation concluded, the Aura on Uvogin's body surged violently, and then condensed tightly on the surface of his body.
[Ken]
With a thunderous stomp that reverberated throughout the Nen Space, Uvogin charged toward Moses, cloaked in his formidable Enhancement-Type Aura.
The sheer force of his approach immediately signaled danger to Moses.
Moses then decisively gave up chasing Chrollo, suddenly stopped, twisted his body, and held the sword in front of him.
Uvogin had already arrived in front of Moses, and his fist, which is wrapped in a crimson glow, collided heavily with the black sword.
Clang!
Despite being made of flesh and bone, Uvogin's punch rang out like metal striking metal when it hit the blade.
Then, a violent shockwave erupted from the impact point, and the terrifying force that came with it knocked send Moses hurtling backward.
Whoosh-
Moses's body cut through the air and slammed heavily into the smoky boundary at the edge of the Nen Space, creating circles of ripples visible to the naked eye.
Crack, crack-
The black sword held tightly in his hand made a crisp sound, and faint cracks appeared on the black sword.
At the next moment, the blade shattered, and the fragments turned into spots of light and disappeared as they fell to the ground.
Moses's Manifested Aura is the weakest point in Moses's overall strength.
But now, he can only mobilize less than half of the Manifested Aura, so it is difficult to resist the attack from an Enhancer with the conjured black sword.
That's why Uvogin's single punch had completely destroyed the blade.
Moses slid down from the smoky boundary, his back leaving a trail of ripples in its wake as he landed on the ground.
Sstt-
Releasing the broken blade's hilt, Moses watched as it too disintegrated into scattered Aura before vanishing into the air.
'While my current Manifested Aura is small, I can use Ryu to improve the conversion rate of offense and defense.'
Moses's expression remained calm, almost indifferent. He casually conjured the black sword once again and held it in his hand.
Although the previous strike had shattered the blade, it hadn't disrupted the Ken: Bone-Plated Armor protecting him.
This is still within acceptable limits.
After all, it only takes less than a second to re-conjure the black sword, while it takes about twenty seconds to condense the Bone-Plated Armor.
In the distance, Uvogin clenched his fists tightly, his rough face filled with an excited smile.
"Very good."
He grinned, revealing a row of pristine teeth.
In their last encounter, Moses's shadow-based abilities had left Uvogin utterly frustrated.
But now, it's different.
Uvogin could freely unleash his fists on Moses without worrying about the shadow ability allowing him to teleport around at will!
Standing behind Uvogin, Chrollo reminded him at the right moment: "Don't get too carried away, Uvogin."
"Yeah, I got it."
Uvogin replied, taking a deep breath as his chest expanded, his eyes filled with killing intent.
This wasn't a duel for personal satisfaction, but a calculated hunt, a coordinated extermination.
Personal enjoyment and gains and losses held no meaning here. There is only one thing to do, and that is to ensure the death of the prey.
Chrollo shifted his gaze to Moses, who was standing at the edge of the Nen Space, and said calmly: "On the next strike, I'll create an opening for you."
"Got it."
Uvogin suppressed his excitement slightly and nodded in understanding.
Meanwhile, Love, who was standing next to Chrollo, took out the large-caliber pistol she carried with her.
As the owner of the Land of Exile, Love's strength in one-on-one combat is beyond doubt.
However, in order not to give Moses any chance to turn the tables, she had no intention of engaging in close combat.
On one hand, Uvogin's direct combat ability was more than sufficient.
On the other hand, when she pulled Uvogin into the Nen Space, she not only had to allocate a part of her Manifested Aura to sustain the Nen Space, but also paid the price of 'transferring 10% of the Manifested Aura' because she chose Uvogin as the target.
The 10% of Manifested Aura transferred to Uvogin enhanced his capabilities, but it also made her a potential weak point.
If Moses managed to take her down, the entire operation would collapse.
This is also the fundamental reason why she is so cautious.
In fact, given the current situation, it doesn't matter if she wanted to join in.
However, the Phantom Troupe attaches great importance to this operation, so they must win by playing it safe.
Moses noticed their positions and combined with the information he had obtained from the 'explanation phase', he easily saw through the key point to 'breaking the situation.
That is-
Kill the scarred woman and secure the pass to exit the Nen Space.
Of course…
Judging from the other party's behavior and response, it is obvious that they had already maximized their tolerance for errors, leaving him no visible openings.
But Moses wasn't in a hurry.
In fact…
He planned to seize the opportunity to at least break two of the Phantom Troupe's 'legs' in this Nen Space.
With this thought in mind, the corners of Moses mouth lifted up, revealing a slightly excited smile.
'If you only think about doing things within your ability, how can you break through your limits?'
'This was the real challenge.'
…
"Huh?"
Seeing the excited smile on Moses's face, Uvogin's murderous Aura faltered for a brief moment, while a strange look flashed across Love's eyes.
'Why was he smiling?'
'Did he not understand his predicament?'
Love thought to herself.
In contrast, Chrollo remained utterly composed, unbothered by Moses's expression.
Moses, still smiling, looked at them and said with barely contained anticipation: "You've made a bad move."
The confidence in his tone stemmed from the moment he touched the smoky boundary earlier and heard the voice deep in his consciousness:
[Do you want exorcise the Nen?]
This means that he can leave the Nen Space at any time.
But he wasn't going to.
Who is the hunter, and who is the prey?
That was yet to be determined.
Besides-
What Moses wants to do is not only to achieve victory in this Nen Space, but also to synchronously control the two shadow clones outside the Nen Space to try to kill at least one member of the Phantom Troupe.
If the Phantom Troupe's members knew what Moses was thinking at this moment...
They would definitely think that Moses must be crazy.
…
Inside the Heavens Arena's venue.
Hisoka watched as Love and Uvogin disappeared into thin air, and immediately understood what Chrollo was really planning.
There is no doubt that-
He still greatly underestimated just how far Chrollo was willing to go to eliminate Moses.
And with that realization, Hisoka concluded that Moses truly had no chance of surviving this ordeal.
