Chapter 36

Without a doubt, the first dungeon run was an extraordinary experience for Bodoro.

Here, he could vividly feel the intense sense of danger and urgency during battles, and at the same time, he didn't need to hold back, allowing him to unleash his full strength without restraint.

However, soon, as his aura dwindled, and the enemies in the armory became increasingly powerful in both defense and attack, he could only stop with great reluctance just outside the corridor leading to the boss's door.

"Damn it! Why am I so weak? Why?!"

"No! I must not fall here! I have to become stronger! At least strong enough to keep up with my savior, not to be a burden!"

"As long as I can become stronger quickly! I am willing to pay any price!"

"Blood aura? Yes! I can burn the blood aura of a martial artist!"

Auras are the embodiment of spirit and will!

When a person's spirit and will break through their limits, their aura abilities will also significantly improve.

So, in just a few minutes, Bodoro quickly made up his mind, made a restriction and a vow, and the aura that had been exhausted suddenly surged out again, even more powerful than before, tinged with a hint of blood-red. He got up from the ground and roared as he charged out again.

About two to three minutes later, a deafening explosion suddenly came from the deepest part of the armory, and the ground shook slightly.

Allen, standing at the entrance of the dungeon, felt all of this and immediately curled his lips, muttering to himself, "Finally broke through the limit and developed his own ability? Humans indeed never know their potential until they are pushed to the limit! It seems that in a few months, Bodoro will become a decent aura user."

Clearly, he was not doing this out of boredom but for future plans.

Especially for tasks like hunting the Phantom Troupe, the Chimera Ants' generals, the three guards, and even the Ant King, none of these could be accomplished by one person alone.

Not to mention the current Allen, even President Netero needed to recruit a large number of helpers to restrain the enemies and create a one-on-one situation with the Ant King.

He would not make the mistake of being arrogant or underestimating his opponents.

And Bodoro was his backup, someone who could step up at a critical moment and buy him some time.

Thus, using about twenty hours in the outside world, which was roughly eight days in the dungeon, the two finally finished their respective training.

Bodoro, who had made a restriction and a vow, exuded a strong aura, a complete transformation from when he entered the dungeon. He had initially mastered the principles of hardness and strength and combined them with his martial arts to develop a powerful fist technique.

After a simple breakfast and personal hygiene, it was soon ten o'clock in the morning of the next day.

Allen stepped onto the 200th floor arena of the Sky Arena again, looking at Jito, who was wearing a red cloak and supported by a metal column for his lower body. He said with a slightly surprised tone, "You didn't choose to run? Your courage truly impresses me. As a reward, I'll let you see the new ability I just mastered today."

"Run? Do you think I can run anywhere if I lose my aura in my current state? No! I won't run this time! Because I have the resolve to fight to the death!"

With a roar filled with anger and frustration, Jito instantly released a shocking aura.

It was clear that he had also strengthened his aura through a restriction and a vow.

After all, people are pushed to their limits, and when the environment and circumstances become dire enough, they often unleash terrifying potential they never imagined.

Yesterday's overwhelming battle was the catalyst for this transformation.

"Nice aura! If only you had realized this earlier. Unfortunately, a signed contract cannot be nullified," Allen sighed.

As soon as he finished speaking,

The referee, responsible for the match, immediately raised his hands and announced loudly, "The match is a points-based knockout system, with no time limit. Begin!"

"Battle Waltz!"

Without a word, Jito immediately released a large number of gyroscopes wrapped in enhanced aura.

Unlike the harmless normal gyroscopes in the anime, these gyroscopes had a ring of protruding saw-like discs on the outside.

When spinning at high speed, these saw-like discs acted like chainsaws, causing a scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere upon contact, potentially slicing an entire arm or even a person in half.

"Evolved? This is truly a pleasant surprise!"

Seeing this highly lethal aura ability, Allen's face immediately showed approval.

There are no useless abilities, only useless users.

Although Jito, as an enhancer-type aura user, had lost his legs during the baptism and thus did not develop a powerful destructive punch like Gon or Killua, he chose to enhance the rotation speed of the gyroscopes to protect himself and attack the enemy simultaneously.

Especially in the Sky Arena, where the arena size is very limited, simple manipulation of the gyroscopes could be very effective.

Now, with ordinary gyroscopes replaced by these specialized saw-toothed gyroscopes, the entire arena instantly turned into a terrifying meat grinder.

More terrifyingly, the continuous cutting and rotational damage were different from one-time collision damage. They continuously weakened the target's "hardness" defense and disrupted the rhythm of "flow" in attack and defense transitions.

Perhaps... the only drawback was the speed.

Realizing the essence of Jito's aura ability, Allen's thoughts rapidly expanded, and in just a few seconds, he thought of several better development directions.

However, he didn't stop his actions. While easily dodging the gyroscopes from all directions, he unleashed the "Invisible Left Arm" of the Great Chain.

Instantly!

A large hand glowing with golden light suddenly appeared out of nowhere and reached directly for Jito's position.

"What?!!!!"

Seeing this familiar ability, Jito's face changed dramatically, and he immediately began to spin at high speed using the metal limb that resembled a gyroscope.

Tornado Gyroscope!

This was a defensive aura ability he developed to address his slow movement speed.

In simple terms, he made himself spin, using the centrifugal force to create a circular aura field to block attacks from the enemy.

Under the enhancement of the restriction and vow, this aura field could provide "hardness"-like defense with minimal aura, and even move to strike the target from all directions, making it an all-in-one offensive and defensive technique.

Just as the golden hand was about to collide with the rapidly spinning Jito, it suddenly turned into a colorless, transparent aura and disappeared.

The next second...

The hand emerged from under the arena, clenched into a fist, and slammed down hard on Jito's metal limb, which resembled a gyroscope.

Boom!

Without any surprise!

Jito, losing his support, fell headfirst onto the hard stone floor of the arena.

Before he could use his cane to stand up again, the hand used its teleportation ability to appear beside him and grabbed him tightly in its palm.

"Using aura to enhance rotation is indeed a good idea, but you shouldn't use gyroscopes, which are easily restricted by terrain and move too slowly. If I were you, I would choose some specialized throwing or flying objects. This way, a simple throw could pose a significant threat to the opponent. Surrender! Then I will spare your life," Allen suggested as he flashed to his side.

"Surrender? And lose the power I gained at such a great cost? No! Never! I'd rather die!" Jito refused without hesitation.

His expression was so resolute, clearly indicating he had already made his decision.

"Since that's the case, I'll give you a quick death."

With that, Allen raised his hand and made a grabbing motion.
