Chapter 133: HHES: Chapter 133
The Nen displayed in Kanzai's hands was a deliberate misdirection; his actual attack was a sonic wave.
Kanzai, the Tiger of the Twelve Zodiacs, was a treasure hunter and bodyguard known for his volatile temper and his incompetence in Japanese and arithmetic.
Hisoka had estimated his strength at 85 points, a judgment based on intuition rather than actual combat.
The paramount requirement for Netero's Twelve Zodiacs was strength.
They also served as sparring partners for Netero. Even non-combat specialists possessed considerable fighting ability, and Kanzai, a combat specialist, was no exception.
Despite his small stature, his strength was undeniable.
He activated his Nen silently, demonstrating perfect control. He showed Loki the Nen in his hands, then unexpectedly unleashed a sonic attack.
While not devastating, the surprise could momentarily stun an opponent. For Zodiac members, a brief distraction is enough to be fatal.
After shouting, Kanzai focused on Loki. 'Didn't see that coming, did you, brat?' He lunged, punching Loki with a sharp whistling sound.
This would usually be an instant kill, but he was facing Loki.
The sudden sonic attack surprised Loki, but he didn't hesitate. He raised his arm and caught Kanzai's fist, imbued with immense Nen. Kanzai froze.
'He wasn't affected?' Bang! Loki kicked Kanzai in the head, sending him flying through a wall.
Loki clapped his hands. "Was that... his serious attack?"
The other Zodiac members looked serious. Loki had used simple Ko to effortlessly block Kanzai's Nen-imbued punch.
Saiyu's eyes narrowed. 'No way! This kid's only been using Nen for months?' He glanced at Netero, suspecting Loki might be Netero's illegitimate son or even his grandson.
Otherwise, his power at his age was inexplicable.
As Saiyu pondered this, Botobai stepped forward.
"Kid, I'll fight you."
Netero stopped Botobai. "Leave it to me. I haven't had a workout in a while."
Mizaistom protested. "Chairman, we're here! We can handle this."
"Enough! Let me go first!"
Loki was impatient. He was here for a mission, not to waste time. He unleashed his Nen.
Buzz! The air vibrated. Loki became a blur, rushing towards Botobai, whose aura was the strongest after Netero's.
Loki spun in the air, flames burning on his feet, Nen surging. He performed a spinning kick.
Thump! Buzz!
Red fire flashed. Botobai raised his hands, Nen flowing naturally, gathering in his hands as he prepared to defend.
Botobai's body sank, the ground cracking beneath him.
Boom! Their Nen clashed. The flames ignited Botobai's Nen, but his highly condensed Nen was difficult to ignite.
The flames only burned it slowly. This showed Botobai's Nen was of exceptionally high quality. Loki had never faced such an opponent.
'Not bad. Worthy of the Zodiacs,' Loki thought. Botobai suddenly grabbed Loki's ankle and slammed him to the ground.
Loki twisted, his arms like pillars, driving into the ground to absorb the impact. He rotated, using the torque to almost lift Botobai. Botobai released his grip. Loki jumped back.
"Not bad!" Loki said.
Their movements were incredibly fast. Loki hadn't gained much of an advantage.
Botobai ignored Loki and looked at his hand. It was burning where he'd grabbed Loki's ankle. Even with Nen protection, he was injured. It felt like he'd been burned by boiling water.
'Nen flames have more than just fire power. They have special abilities,' Botobai realized.
He'd learned something from that brief exchange. Loki's flames weren't just flames.
