Chapter 136: HHES: Chapter 136
Loki stood behind him, his flaming hand reaching for Mizaistom.
At that instant, bang—a Nen bullet shot towards Loki. Loki subtly tilted his head, evading the attack.
Mizaistom, using this opening, broke free from Goki's grasp and leaped to the right.
Loki turned to his left, where Kanzai stood. "Mizaistom, that Nen beast... is it his ability?"
Kanzai stared at Goki for a moment. A fire-wielding kid with a Nen beast.
Mizaistom wiped the sweat from his brow. "Yes! That Nen beast is strong. Be careful."
"A Transformation-type user developing Emission-type abilities! You're not a genius, you're more of an idiot," Kanzai chuckled, completely missing the shift in Loki's demeanor.
"Annoying."
Swish! In a flash, Loki vanished, a violent airburst echoing where he'd stood. He'd moved so fast, leaving only a blurry afterimage.
Mizaistom, hearing the airburst, broke into a cold sweat. 'He wasn't even at full speed!' At this speed, Loki was untraceable.
"Kanzai—"
Before he could finish, a blinding flash of flame erupted. A fireball materialized to Kanzai's left.
In the instant Kanzai turned, Loki appeared to his right, his flaming fist rocketing towards Kanzai's body. Mizaistom was too late to react.
Kanzai vanished. Loki's fist connected with the fireball he'd conjured on the other side, the flames merging with his fist. He paused.
Before him stood Saiyu, his Wisdom Rod poised. The Wisdom Rod struck Kanzai, deflecting Loki's attack.
Kanzai, having been sent flying, got to his feet in the distance, patting his chest. "Close call. Almost got fried." He nodded towards Saiyu. "Thanks."
Saiyu coldly watched Loki. "Even though I hate you, I don't want to see a Zodiac member taken down by a kid."
Kanzai: "There won't be a next time."
Buzz buzz buzz buzz! The ground trembled violently, accompanied by a deafening roar. From the shadows, Botobai suddenly burst forth, his face scarred from the flames, his features contorted in a grimace of fury, charging directly at Loki.
Loki raised his arm to defend, but was sent flying back with a resounding thud, crashing through five or six walls before finally coming to a stop.
Loki rose from the rubble, brushing off the dust, the flames on his body now somewhat diminished.
"You know what? I'm starting to get really angry."
"Snap out of it! Show me your true strength, and take this brat down!"
The sight of Loki brought a fresh wave of pain to the burns on Botobai's face. Kanzai replayed Loki's sudden burst of speed in his mind.
"That movement... it must have been some kind of special technique."
Mizaistom, approaching cautiously, stood beside Botobai, his expression grave.
"Right! It seems he used the explosive force generated by rapidly stomping the ground dozens of times to achieve that acceleration."
Saiyu, his hands resting on the Wisdom Rod slung across his shoulders, added, "It looks simple enough, but the actual execution is practically impossible."
Glancing at Mizaistom, Saiyu brandished his Wisdom Rod. "Aren't you going to use your ability yet, Mizaistom?"
Mizaistom frowned. "I'm not sure how long I could restrain him, and his speed is just too much."
"Don't worry," Kanzai reassured, stretching his body, ready for action. "The three of us will close in on him, and you'll take your shot. Just a moment is all we need."
Botobai also glanced at Mizaistom. If they could restrain Loki, even for a fleeting moment, he had a chance to subdue him.
With his three companions having made their decision, Mizaistom had no choice but to cooperate.
"I'll do my best. To be honest, my ability isn't really suited for dealing with someone stronger than me."
From a distance, Loki slowly approached them, leaving a trail of fire with each step. Suddenly, the air currents around Loki began to swirl violently, converging towards him as if he were a black hole, drawing in the surrounding air.
Buzz An invisible wave emanated from Loki.
"So, have you all finalized your battle plan?"
Loki's eyes snapped open, blazing with anger, a torrent of raw Nen energy erupting outward. Flames surged forth like a tidal wave, spreading in all directions.
Ring after ring of fire expanded outwards, surrounding Loki. The inrushing air currents whipped at the four Zodiac members' clothing.
Botobai immediately launched himself towards Loki. "Not good! Stop him!"
The others were slightly slower to react, but they followed Botobai's lead, charging towards Loki. Kanzai's eyes flickered. 'That attack is likely a wide-area technique. If we can't stop him...' He dared not imagine the consequences.
If they couldn't stop Loki immediately, they would undoubtedly be caught in the blast. The sheer volume of Nen erupting from Loki was terrifying—being hit would not be a pleasant experience.
Mizaistom stared at the immense Nen pouring from Loki. 'Will my ability even work on this kid?' "Stop daydreaming! Attack now, or we're all dead!"
Saiyu, his body shimmering with Nen, launched three blasts of Nen towards Loki. In mid-air, the Nen transformed into three monkey-like figures—Nen beasts! But at that moment, a massive dark shadow blocked Saiyu's path: Goki, Loki's Nen beast. Goki swung its massive arms, aiming a powerful blow at Saiyu, the closest target.
Blocked by Goki, Saiyu's face contorted in alarm. "Get out of the way!" he roared, swinging his Wisdom Rod at Goki.
But the Wisdom Rod was stopped dead in its tracks by Goki's immense strength; a single blow was insufficient to even faze the Nen beast.
Boom! In that instant, Botobai executed a powerful sideways leap, landing a devastating punch to Goki's head. Goki's massive body was sent flying like a cannonball.
Botobai, a faint aura clinging to his fist, turned to Saiyu, uttering a single, urgent word.
"Now!"
Saiyu froze, momentarily stunned.
