Hunter x Hunter: My Nen Beast is Strong

Chapter 17 The Magic of Love Goes Round and Round

After Hisoka finished speaking, he pulled on the "Bungee Gum" that had been hidden in his hand. Erigi felt something stick to his cheek and was pulled up forcefully, causing his body to tilt forward uncontrollably.

Fortunately, Eligi was quite strong, and Hisoka was also injured.

So, Eligi wasn't pulled into the air by Hisoka, but his body still couldn't control its forward movement.

Eligi was startled, wondering when Hisoka had managed to attach "bungee-easily bound love" to himself.

Soon, Eligi remembered the last time Hisoka threw playing cards at him, which he seemed to have dodged. He hadn't paid much attention to it at the time, and probably that's when he got stuck.

Even if he did notice, he probably wouldn't be able to figure anything out, since he doesn't even really understand the four basic Nen abilities: "Ten," "Zetsu," "Ren," and "Hatsu."

How could anyone possibly know the three advanced application techniques of Nen: "Concentration," "Concealment," and "Circle"?

So it's no wonder that Eligi was so careless despite knowing Hisoka's Nen ability. Even if he knew, he wouldn't have been able to see the Nen gathering in his eyes.

"Hinata! Break that thing!" Eligi didn't just sit there and wait to die; instead, he shouted.

Hinata hummed in response and then whispered, "Byakugan!"

Hinata's eyes were bulging with veins, a sign that she was using the Byakugan. The Byakugan can see everything within a one-kilometer radius, even the finest human meridians.

Therefore, Hisoka used the Nen technique "Hidden" to conceal "Bungee Gum," making it impossible for him to hide from the Byakugan.

After Hinata used her Byakugan, she quickly saw Hisoka's "Bungee Gum" stuck to Erigi's cheek.

Without hesitation, Hinata wrapped Nen in her palm and slapped it towards the long thread that looked like chewing gum.

Hinata struck with her palm, and the chewing gum-like thing snapped in two.

This was the first time Hisoka had ever seen his Nen ability destroyed by someone's palm. His gaze involuntarily turned to Hinata: "Oh, so you're using your Nen to infuse my Nen and destroy it? What an exquisite Nen manipulation! Hehehe, this is getting more and more interesting."

Hisoka's smile grew increasingly sinister as his body twisted into a slingshot-like shape, then launched himself like a cannonball into Eligi's group.

It seems Hisoka knows how to wear down opponents from a distance, so he's likely to be the one to lose in the end.

Only through close-quarters combat, making each of Erigi's Nen beasts wary of one another, can Hisoka achieve final victory.

It can only be said that Hisoka's battle instincts are extremely strong. As expected of a battle maniac, he did not panic at all despite the increase in the number of enemies, and he handled the situation with great ease.

"Stop him! Hinata, protect the Eight Trigrams, everyone else back off." Eligi also knew that Hisoka's close-combat skills were extremely powerful.

Even Chrollo, the leader of the Phantom Troupe who can fight the Zoldycks in close combat, tries his best to avoid close combat with Hisoka.

This proves Hisoka's strength in close combat.

Hinata was very obedient, doing whatever Eligi asked her to do, just like an excellent student.

Unlike Hidan, who's a troublemaker, Eligi doesn't need to be told two or three times before he'll take action.

"Guardian: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!" Hinata gathered fine Nen threads in her palm and met Hisoka's attack with sixty-four palms at a high frequency.

This move, like the Rotation Technique, is an absolute defensive technique that forms a circle, but it is different in that it is a Bagua Palm technique developed exclusively by Hinata.

Hisoka first used playing cards to test the waters, but the seven playing cards were directly cut into pieces by Hinata's Nen lines.

Even the "bungee-stretching love" hidden inside the cards was cut apart by Hinata's Nen threads.

These Nen lines were sharper than blades, and Hisoka immediately realized that if he charged at them head-on, he would be cut to pieces.

Hisoka doesn't have the kind of body that can withstand all attacks like a Enhancement-type user, so he naturally can't possibly fight Hinata's attack head-on.

Therefore, Hisoka's charging body came to a sudden stop, defying the definition of physics, and then he dodged to the right to avoid Hinata's attack range.

Hisoka's observation skills are quite strong; he identified Hinata's weakness in her attack in just a few seconds.

It means you can't move, you can only stand still and strike while waiting for your opponent to attack. As long as you avoid them, you'll be fine.

Hinata's Guardian Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms does indeed have this problem.

Hinata was momentarily stunned when she saw the enemy avoiding her range, unsure of how to stop them.

Fortunately, Eligi reminded him from behind, "Don't stop!"

Following Eligi's instructions, Hinata, who originally wanted to stop and block Hisoka, naturally chose to trust Eligi and continued to attack from where she was.

"Hehehe! This time I will sacrifice you to the evil god before that brat says he'll stop." Hidan suddenly appeared on the right and met Hisoka.

Hisoka also knew that Hidan possessed something akin to immortality, so simple poker attacks on vital points had no effect on Hidan.

Therefore, Hisoka's main strategy is to dodge. His only goal is to rush to Eligi's side and wait for the other Nen beasts to come to his aid before killing them.

At this moment, Erigi did not run away randomly as Hisoka approached. Instead, he maintained a diagonal stance with Hinata as the center, while Kiba and Shino stood behind Erigi, ready to attack at any time.

Hisoka understood that Eriji wanted to use Hidan to exhaust his stamina and wait for an opportunity, just like a wolf eyeing its prey. Instead of killing the prey directly, it waits until the prey is exhausted before killing it with minimal cost.

"What a cunning kid." Hisoka's injuries had only been healed for half a day, so his condition was indeed not good. If he really followed the opponent's plan, he probably wouldn't be able to maintain his fighting spirit for more than half an hour.

After all, Hisoka had already dealt with a Nen expert while fighting Eligi, and he still had a shoulder injury.

Hisoka had to deal with Hidan's fearless fighting style, prevent Hidan from obtaining his blood and forming a curse, and also keep up with the pursuit of Eriji, who was being protected.

"As expected, my current physical condition is still a bit strained against this combination of multiple Nen abilities," Hisoka had to admit to himself.

But Hisoka was not going to follow Eligi's plan. He used "Bungee Gum" to create distance with Hidan and then moved quickly along the outer wall of the trap tower.

This made it difficult for Eligi to pinpoint the opponent's location, rendering the defensive system he had just built useless.

But the problem is, creating distance between himself and Hisoka is exactly what Eligi wants: "Hinata, stop and come behind me."

After giving a reminder, Erigi and the trio formed a four-legged formation, while Hidan chased after the fast-moving Hisoka alone.

Eligi provided fire support from the center position.
