Chapter 52

In Allen's plans for the future, there are three abilities from the Phantom Troupe that he must obtain.

Kuip's "God's Left Hand and Devil's Right Hand" is naturally one of them.

The other two are Dopey's "Dustpan—Convict Fish," which can suck away all inanimate objects, and Feitan's combination Nen ability, the armor that can completely defend against fire damage— "The Unforgivable."

The former is essentially a negative buff devourer, capable of sucking out any debuff in a dungeon.

The latter, of course, doesn't need much explanation. With it, raiding Molten Core and Onyxia's Lair would definitely save a lot of effort. It's estimated that wearing it would allow one to stand and output damage while taking minimal life loss, even under the pressure of a large screw and a deep breath.

As for the abilities of the other members of the Troupe, it would be best to obtain them if possible, but it's not a big deal if he can't.

After all, with Silva as an insider, as long as the Troupe members are split up and no more than four act together, hunting them down won't be too difficult for Allen.

In the Phantom Troupe, not all members are skilled in combat. Nearly a third are support and logistics personnel like Dopey, Kuip, and Pakunoda. Moreover, Machi was injured by Gon and Killua, who had just learned Nen, during a power outage at the Yorknew Hotel.

Based on their displayed Nen abilities, they might not even be able to withstand a fully reinforced silver arrow.

Therefore, Allen is almost certain of success in this hunt.

The current grudge with the Sky Arena floor masters is just a warm-up, helping him adapt to Nen battles with no restrictions.

Thus, over the next two weeks, he won matches at a rate of one every two to three days, quickly accumulating ten victories. Then, he specifically challenged the 232nd floor master, Barros.

Standing on the 200th floor of the Sky Arena, Allen stared at his opponent with a slightly playful tone, taunting, "I never thought you would choose to fight instead of run."

"My reasons for fighting are something a scum like you wouldn't understand!" Barros replied coldly.

"Yes, I can't understand how you can talk about honor and dignity while hiding in the shadows and engaging in underhanded tricks," Allen said with a light laugh, mocking him.

Hearing this, Barros' expression changed slightly, but he quickly feigned nonchalance, "I don't understand what you're talking about!"

"Deny it? No problem! In fact, I don't need your acknowledgment. Today's battle will be my declaration of war to you floor masters, a declaration made of blood and death. One last question, are you willing to bet all your Nen on this fight?" Allen asked meaningfully.

But Barros had clearly learned from the mistakes of those who were devoured, remaining silent to avoid triggering the conditions for the devouring ability.

He never intended to fight to the death but planned to put up a show of defending the floor master's honor and dignity, then surrender when the situation turned bad.

Just as he thought he had succeeded, Allen suddenly bit his finger and inserted it into the red dragon's mouth, declaring with a cold laugh, "The contract is formed!"

"What?!!!"

Barros' expression turned panic-stricken, unable to understand why the contract was formed despite his lack of response.

"I bet you're wondering why the contract was formed even though you didn't respond, right? The answer is simple! When I designed this ability, I set a condition: within twenty seconds of saying this, the questioned party must give a clear negative response, or it will be considered a default acceptance," Allen explained nonchalantly.

It must be said, his design was quite ingenious, even anticipating the reactions of most people in such a situation.

The 232nd floor master was the first victim, but certainly not the last.

"You bastard! You cunning little brat, how dare you scheme against me?" Barros roared in uncontrollable anger.

From the twisted, hateful expression on his face, it was clear he was truly enraged.

The moment the contract was signed, he lost the option to surrender. He had to fight with all his strength, or he would lose his Nen ability even if he survived.

In that case, it would be better to die in battle.

"Scheme? No, no, no, I'm just giving you back what you're doing. Come on, let me see the courage and spirit of a floor master. Ability activation—Execution Cross!"

As the last word left his lips, a massive silver cross suddenly descended from the sky, standing in the center of the arena.

The referee, seeing this, immediately raised his hands and shouted, "The match begins!"

"Execution Cross?!" Barros' eyes instantly showed alarm.

This ability was originally used by a newcomer who had just ascended to the 200th floor a few days ago. It can immobilize an opponent by driving nails into four designated points on their limbs, binding them to the cross.

The person bound to the cross will not die no matter how severe the injuries, but they will feel intense pain and remain conscious.

In short, the creator of this ability is a complete sadist who enjoys torturing and abusing opponents in battle until they mentally break before killing them.

Noticing his opponent's reaction, Allen immediately reassured him with a smile, "Relax, don't be so tense. I'm not a sadist, so I made some interesting improvements to this ability. Now, it's more of an execution platform than a torture device. And in today's battle, I will only use this one ability to prove how weak and narrow-minded you Sky Arena floor masters are."

"Only this one ability? You're getting more and more arrogant!"

Barros immediately activated his ability—The Unseeable Death.

Instantly!

A strange figure, clad in a black robe and wielding a massive scythe, descended from the sky, exuding a strong aura of ill omen.

Without hesitation!

Allen turned his head to avoid eye contact with the Nen-created monster.

He had already learned from the battle recordings that if he made eye contact with this "Death," Barros could use his manipulation-type Nen ability to make Death possess the target's body, randomly taking control of limbs or organs.

If an essential organ like the heart were controlled, Death could immediately stop its beating, causing instant death.

Of course, controlling an arm or a leg would also have severe consequences, leading to self-inflicted injuries and affecting overall coordination. It's a very powerful Nen ability.
