Chapter 62

By quickly gathering information through observation and then making judgments about the opponent's ability type, characteristics, and combat habits and methods with as little information as possible.

These are the basic qualities that a qualified Nen user must possess, and also the rules that must be followed in battle.

Because the abilities created by Nen are too varied and unpredictable!

Rashly trying to kill an opponent whose ability is unknown could very well drag you into hell with a stronger Nen after death.

As someone who followed the "illustrated novel" by the old thief Fujiki all the way to its final issue, Allen knew that in the later Kakin Kingdom's "Royal Succession War," the second prince, Kamila, created a terrifying Nen beast called "Million Reincarnation Cat," which used the condition of being stronger after death to crush the murderer and convert them into a life energy-like substance to feed the host, allowing the host to achieve the incredible feat of resurrection.

Therefore, when facing a Nen user with unknown abilities but a certain level of strength, Allen tends to first confirm whether the opponent's ability type is a completely unreasonable rule-based one.

Moreover, he had already set his sights on Zebulon's powerful self-healing and recovery ability, planning to seize it.

Thus, the two engaged in dozens of rounds of combat in the confined space, with Zebulon mostly taking the initiative to attack, while Allen passively defended and dodged, occasionally using thrown silver arrows to limit the increasingly reckless and frenzied actions of his opponent.

Bodoro took the opportunity to lead the victim out of the dangerous room, wrapping her in a coat and soothing her in a deep voice, "Relax, don't be afraid, you're safe now."

"Safe... safe?"

The woman cautiously raised her head, her eyes filled with pain, panic, and fear.

"Yes! You're saved! Now, stay here and wait for the police and ambulance. I've already called them."

After saying that, Bodoro got up and was about to jump to the second floor to observe Allen and Zebulon's battle up close.

As a representative of the steel straight men, a man who had been single for over fifty years, he had no concept of chivalry or compassion; he had only acted out of a sense of justice.

But just as he was gathering energy in his legs to increase his jumping power, he suddenly sensed an unfamiliar Nen emanating from beside him. Turning around, he saw that the woman, whose skin had been stripped off in large patches, had somehow awakened to Nen.

No!

Not only had she awakened to Nen!

She had also materialized a very peculiar doll, something that looked like a large cartoon rabbit plush toy.

The moment this large rabbit hugged the woman from behind, all the skin that had been stripped off and the teeth that had been pulled from her mouth grew back within seconds.

"A healing Nen ability! Is it a materialization type or an enhancement type?" Bodoro's eyes widened in surprise.

Having systematically trained in Nen, he knew better than anyone how much hard and serious training was required to go from initially sensing the existence of "aura" to obtaining a specific ability.

But this woman?

She had just awakened, yet instantly gained a complete ability that seemed quite effective.

"What... what is this? My injuries are all gone?"

The woman clearly couldn't understand what was happening, staring at the large plush doll hugging her from behind and her now smooth skin, her face showing intense confusion and bewilderment.

"This is the power of Nen! Come, since you're now an awakened one, let's watch a battle between Nen users together."

Bodoro pulled her up from the ground and, with a powerful kick, instantly jumped from the street into the second-floor room where the intense fight was taking place.

Allen, who had been maintaining his "Circle" the whole time, immediately sensed their approach. He kicked the wildly flailing Zebulon away and turned to frown, "Why did you bring the victim back?"

"Sorry, she's no longer an ordinary person but an awakened Nen user. According to the Association's rules, we can't hand her over to the police or a regular hospital," Bodoro explained with a hint of frustration.

"A Nen user?"

Allen was taken aback by this but quickly noticed the large rabbit plush toy that had been circling the woman. He soon nodded.

"Alright, I understand. Be careful, Zebulon's ability is very strange. From my observations, he has at least rapid regeneration, all-around physical enhancement, and the ability to accelerate his aura recovery by consuming flesh and blood. Most importantly, his teeth and claws are coated with some kind of toxin, the specifics of which I'm not yet clear on."

"I know! It's a super-strong neurotoxin! If it breaks the skin and enters the bloodstream, the body will immediately go into paralysis for several seconds to half a minute," the woman suddenly interjected.

"Oh? You've seen him use it?"

Allen instinctively glanced at Zebulon, who was quickly getting up from the ground, opening the refrigerator, and stuffing bloody raw meat into his mouth.

"Yes! Because... because the meat he's eating now is from the body of the last victim he tortured to death. To be precise, the refrigerator is full of human flesh," the woman said in a trembling voice, revealing a horrifying fact.

"I see! What a disgusting ability! But with a slight modification, it might still be useful. For example, changing the consumption of human corpses to protein-rich meat, or removing the physical changes and enhancements to double the speed of recovery..."

As he spoke,

Allen immediately drew the ancient bone bow, aimed at the frenzied Zebulon who was gnawing on a piece of flesh, and without hesitation infused all his Nen into the silver arrow, then gently released it.

Boom!

With a deafening explosion, the arrow instantly pierced the "cannibal's" chest, shattering his upper body, while the liquefied air rapidly froze the cells that were trying to split and regenerate.

In the end, the deranged and sick fugitive turned into an ice sculpture, gradually losing cellular activity, and his once-prided powerful recovery ability became useless.

"Vilnara, devour him!"

Seeing that all the prerequisites for seizing the Nen ability were met, the red dragon immediately appeared in physical form, opening its massive mouth to swallow the target in a cocoon.

Feeling the astonishing resentment contained within Zebulon's cocoon and the large amount of negative emotions drawn from the victims, Allen was grateful for the first time that he had created the red dragon as an intermediary storage Nen beast rather than directly absorbing the stolen aura and abilities.

Otherwise, absorbing a couple more such cocoons would either drive him completely mad or make him just as twisted.

Clearly, Zebulon had continuously strengthened his Nen through this extremely distorted method, not unlike the "Bomb Trio" in Greed Island, who strengthened their Nen by constantly killing.

However, the most troublesome aspect of his ability, self-recovery, was suppressed by the ultra-low temperature produced by the liquefied air.

Otherwise, even if Allen wanted to kill this guy, it would have taken a lot of effort, at least to deplete Zebulon's aura and prevent him from quickly recovering by consuming flesh.
