Chapter 33

At 10:00 AM on January 28th, the massive arena on the 200th floor of the Sky Stadium was packed to the brim.

Countless spectators who had paid a hefty price to be there were waving their hands, loudly cheering for their favorite fighters. Among them were many who had placed bets on the side.

It's important to understand that battles between the 200th floor fighters don't happen as frequently as those on the lower 199 floors, where fights take place almost every day, and missing a few wouldn't matter much.

Due to the rarity and uniqueness of Nen abilities, each fighter has 90 days to prepare, meaning they typically only step onto the stage once every three months.

If special circumstances prevent them from returning on time, this period can be even longer.

Therefore, matches on the 200th floor usually only occur two to three times a month, unless a fighter is confident enough in their strength to challenge several opponents in quick succession and schedule the matches closely together.

For passionate fighting enthusiasts, missing even a single moment of these matches would be a lifelong regret.

Feeling the excitement and fervor in the air, and the enthusiastic crowd in the stands, Allen took the initiative to ask his opponent standing on the stage, "So, are you ready to say goodbye to your Nen?"

"Don't you dare dream! We won't let you get away with it! Today, I'll show you the true resolve of a 200th floor fighter!" Kurodasou responded without backing down.

"Resolve? Hah, do you really have that? If you truly had such resolve, why would you specifically target newcomers and beginners as your opponents?" Allen sneered, exposing the hypocrisy in Kurodasou's words.

As the saying goes, the strong wield their swords against the stronger, while the weak wield their swords against the weaker.

If a Nen user lacks the courage to challenge a stronger opponent, how powerful can their Nen really be?

"Shut up!" Kurodasou, clearly hit a nerve, immediately turned to the referee and urged, "Hey! How long do you plan to stand there? Let's get this started!"

"The match will be a points-based knockout system, with no time limit. Begin!"

The referee, clearly startled, still followed the Sky Stadium's tradition and announced the rules.

As the last word left his lips, a uniquely designed two-handed sword suddenly appeared in Allen's hand.

The hilt was a dark red, like fresh blood, while the blade was grayish-white, with dark red patterns running through it.

At the junction of the hilt and the blade, a sapphire, resembling an eye, was embedded, emitting a faint cold aura.

Just by its appearance, it was clear that this sword was no ordinary weapon.

To be precise, it was called the Sword of Ravenholdt, also known as the DK Sword. It was an epic weapon dropped by Baron Ravenholdt, the final boss of the Stratholme Undead Zone, with the unique feature of increasing movement speed and health regeneration.

Like the DK Horse, it was something that countless players dreamed of and coveted.

[Weapon? A Conjuration-type Nen user!]

Kurodasou instantly made what he believed to be an accurate judgment and quickly released his Transformation-type ability—Invisible Left Arm—trying to grab Allen and render him immobile.

Unfortunately, just as he thought he was about to succeed, Allen, as if sensing something, easily dodged.

[Successfully observed the enemy's ability!]

"Transforming your aura into a hand invisible to the naked eye? Not bad! But unfortunately, you're too weak to fully utilize its potential," Allen commented while observing the large hand that kept chasing him.

This ability reminded him of the "Bigby's Hand" series of spells from the Dungeons & Dragons game.

If the user's aura was strong enough, it could instantly bind and crush a person into a bloody pulp.

Combined with its invisibility, which required concentration to see, it was perfect for ambushes.

If used at the right moment, it would definitely give the enemy a huge surprise.

"Damn it! Who do you think you are? What right do you have to criticize my ability? Die! Fist of Punishment!"

Kurodasou suddenly transformed his invisible hand into a fist and slammed it down.

Boom!

A loud explosion followed, and a small crater about five meters in diameter appeared on the stage.

Allen, standing right at the edge of the crater, was unharmed.

As a Transformation-type Nen user, Kurodasou clearly couldn't match the destructive power of an Enhancement-type user, who could create a large crater with a single punch.

So, while the fist looked intimidating, its actual power was limited. As long as one avoided the direct hit, there would be no damage.

"Too slow! If I were you, I wouldn't keep the hand around all the time. Instead, I'd make it disappear after each attack and reappear for the next one. If I'm not mistaken, you must have gained your Nen ability after a baptism, right? I'm curious, what kind of face lies behind that mask?"

[Successfully provided a better and more powerful direction for ability development!]

As soon as he finished speaking,

Allen vanished from his spot.

The next second,

he appeared less than half a meter from his opponent, swinging the Sword of Ravenholdt down.

Snap!

Kurodasou's mask shattered into two halves, revealing a face marred by burns and scars, a visage of pure ugliness.

It was clear that these scars were the result of battles with other Nen users.

It was these scars and the pain they brought that awakened his Nen ability and led to the development of his current ability—Invisible Left Arm.

"Aaaaaahhhhh!!! M-my mask! My mask!"

Kurodasou suddenly went berserk, picking up the two halves of his mask and desperately trying to put them back together.

But his efforts were in vain. No matter how many times he tried, the mask would fall apart again.

Finally, his mind snapped, and he radiated a strong aura of resentment and hatred, gritting his teeth and saying, "Brat! You've successfully enraged me! Now I'll stake everything, including my life! Right here! I'll kill you!"

As the last word left his lips, Kurodasou's aura suddenly intensified tenfold, and his Invisible Left Arm became clearer and stronger, clearly receiving a significant boost.

"Restriction and Oath?" Allen showed a hint of surprise but quickly smiled and responded, "Well done! Now you're worth hunting! Come on, let me see what you can do."

"Death Grip!"

Kurodasou suddenly made a grabbing motion with his left hand.

Instantly,

the Nen hand, which had been several meters away, appeared right under Allen's feet and clamped down with lightning speed.

Clearly, he had taken Allen's advice and used an Oath and Restriction to grant his Invisible Left Arm the ability to move instantly.

However, with Allen's exceptional agility and the movement speed boost from the DK Sword, the hand hadn't even closed before he jumped out and, in the blink of an eye, charged to his opponent's side, aiming for the heart.

[Nen Ability—Enhancement]

[Grant the two-handed sword the attribute—Sharpness]

Pierce!

Without any resistance!

With the enhancement from the Nen ability, the DK Sword easily pierced through Kurodasou's "Wrap," passing through his chest and causing a gush of blood to spurt out as it was pulled out.

[Manually create a fatal but not immediately lethal wound]

[All conditions met]

[Activate Nen Ability—Life Steal]

"Red Dragon! Devour him!"
