Gourmet Hunter (HxH Fanfic)

A Nen User's Manifested Aura and Potential Aura can only be gradually increased through diligent training.

However, the two Nen Users enveloped by the black membrane had their power boosted to the absolute limit in an instant, which was equivalent to increasing their speed from being able to only support jogging to the fastest sprint.

The inexplicable sound of the harp, the sudden attack and the unnatural power surge of the two Nen Users made the entire atmosphere in the hall feel increasingly perilous.

There are two Nen Users whose bodies are bursting with surging Aura. One is relatively young, and the other is close to middle-aged. The length of time they have been exposed to Nen should be different, but the Aura they were now releasing was identical in intensity.

This striking contrast gave Law and the others the most basic understanding of the situation.

The two Nen Users slowly turned around and faced Law and the others, their faces expressionless. Their eyes are now devoid of human rationality or emotion, only an icy, killing intent remained.

'It's the sound of the harp... it's also the sinister form of Nen!'

But there was no time to think about the reason. The two Nen Users, who had been controlled, moved at the same time, turning into black shadows and attacking the nearest person at an extremely fast speed.

Mark, who was closest to them, barely managed to raise his arms before a single punch sent him flying backward. A sickening crunch of bone accompanied his agonized scream as he hurtled away like a cannonball.

If his body had not been covered with Aura in advance, this punch would have been enough to kill Mark on the spot. Obviously, if they did not concentrate most of his Aura for defense, they wouldn't stand a chance against these possessed Nen Users.

After knocking Mark away, the two berserk Nen Users didn't pause and charged at their next targets.

Bang! Bang!

Almost in the next second, Uncle Bill and Aya were also struck and sent flying before they could react. The sheer speed of the attackers was overwhelming, but both Uncle Bill and Aya managed to redirect their aura defensively at the last moment, avoiding serious injury.

In less than two seconds, three people were knocked away, showing an exaggerated overwhelming force. And now, their next targets are… Luby and Law.

Their raging Aura was like a light bulb glowing in the dark, extremely conspicuous, and their icy killing intent was like fine needles piercing Luby and Law's skin.

Whoosh!

The two Nen Users charged forward with raw, unrestrained power. There's no finesse or strategy, just brute force and terrifying speed, like mindless berserkers.

Thanks to the earlier attacks on Mark and Uncle Bill, Luby and Law had at least a moment to prepare.

There were musical notes flowing in the Aura on Luby's body surface, and there was a special rhythm when his body moved. Despite the middle-aged attacker's thunderous assaults, Luby managed to dodge each one at the last moment.

Although Luby was clearly slower, his unique ability allowed him to evade middle-aged attacker's wildly aggressive, but uncoordinated attacks.

However, Luby had used up all of his Aura just to dodge, so he was unable to counterattack the middle-aged Nen User.

"Come and help me!" Luby shouted.

On the other hand, the young Nen User charged at Law.

The sheer force of his Aura and speed created a palpable pressure in the air.

If Law tried to withstand the attack head-on, he will end up being beaten away like Uncle Bill and the others. He had to put everything into his next move.

Law suddenly drew his sword, and the white cloth wrapped around the sword untied itself.

He then half-knelt down, ducked to avoid the young Nen User's straight punch, and slashed upwards.

Whoosh!

An arm flew into the air.

However, the young Nen User showed no sign of pain or reaction. Instead, he frantically opened his mouth and lunged at Law's throat, his surging Aura making it likely that he could easily bite through Law's neck.

Faced with such an action, Law calmly took a step back, put away his sword and slashed again in one smooth, efficient motion. With that single stroke, he slashed through the neck of the young Nen User and cut off his head.

Even after losing both his right arm and head in mere moments, the young Nen User continued his relentless assault, though he was no longer a true threat.

With a few more slashes of his sword, Law cut off the young Nen User's remaining limbs.

After dealing with the young Nen User, Law pointed his sword at the white cloth that fell on the ground. Within his Domain, the cloth responded instantly, flying back and wrapping itself snugly around the blade.

Despite being reduced to a headless, limbless torso, the young Nen User remained alive, with his uncontrolled Aura flooding out in waves.

If not for the unique properties of God Hand and Shin, Law might not have been able to end the young Nen User's relentless attacks so easily. After all, the amount of Aura gushing out of his body was simply overwhelming.

Fortunately, the young Nen User did not know how to use Ken, otherwise, considering that level of Aura output, Law would have no chance of success.

The scene of Law easily defeating the young Nen User was seen by Biscuit and Atomu, and they were both surprised.

From the way those two controlled members had erupted with Aura and strength, they seemed like formidable opponents. However, the two can only rush around recklessly, and their attacks are completely disorganized.

In the eyes of Biscuit and Atomu, they are just beasts that are not to be feared.

However, this only applies to the two of them. If Law and Luby were to face them, the outcome would be the same as that of Uncle Bill and Aya, where they would be beaten away without any resistance.

In such situations, the weaker side must recognize the stronger side's weaknesses, such as the uncontrolled Aura expenditure and chaotic attacks, and devise countermeasures accordingly.

Luby's strategy was a good example. By using his Nen Ability to evade and endure, he merely needed to wait until the middle-aged Nen User exhausted his Potential Aura and collapsed from self-inflicted fatigue.

That was one possible path to victory.

As for Law's way of being the weak to defeat the strong with ease surprised Biscuit and Atomu.

If it were the two of them, they could certainly achieve similar results, but that was due to their overwhelming strength. However, it would be difficult for Law to even defeat the young Nen User with his strength, let alone doing it so effortlessly.

At this time, the tide of battle had shifted.

The two controlled members initially dominated by sending three people flying, but Law's decisive takedown of the young Nen User significantly weakened their momentum.

The sound of the harp still echoed in the hall, and the middle-aged Nen User was soon killed under the siege of the group.

Luby relied on his Nen Ability to dodge the frenzied attack of the middle-aged Nen User unscathed, and although Uncle Bill and Aya were knocked away by a punch, their arms were only red and swollen, and there are no fractures.

The only person who was seriously injured was Mark, whose right arm was completely broken. However, he was tough and didn't make a sound despite the pain.

The young Nen User, whose limbs and head were cut off by Law, did not die. Moreover, there are no bleeding, which made everyone look at Law.

"Is this also the effect of Mr. Muscle?" Biscuit asked as she stared at Law skeptically.

"Look!"

Law pretended not to hear her question and suddenly pointed at the dismembered young Nen User, who was still alive and kicking.

At this time, the Aura surging from the young Nen User disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When the Aura completely disappeared, the face and muscles of the young Nen User gradually became withered, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed. Without any struggle, he simply died, and only then did blood start to flow from his severed limbs.

Seeing this unsettling development, the group collectively turned their gaze towards the palace shrouded in black Nen, their expressions grim.

At that moment, the oppressive harp melody shifted into an entirely different tone.

If the previous tune had been one of despair and oppression, this new melody was clear and serene, like morning dew and flowing water, cleansing away the earlier tension.

Despite the change in the music's atmosphere, none of them felt relieved.

They only felt that the unknown entity within the palace seemed even more ominous and unfathomable now.
