Chapter 582 - Chapter 582 Ninty-Ninth Hand

The 100-Type Guanyin, which was obtained from the Illusion of the Thousand Changes, can only exert 40% of its power in Moses's hands, but its existence is complete.

Form, Aura, sheer presence...

No matter which point, it looks like Netero himself is using 100-Type Guanyin.

Therefore, the terrifying presence emanating from 100-Type Guanyin isn't solely directed at Chrollo, Franklin, and Satoga.

Its presence was so strong that it instantly attracted the attention of all the Nen Users present.

It was precisely because of this presence that could not be ignored that the battle between Kurapika and Bonolenov ended at the fastest speed.

It can be said that-

Bonolenov is a bit out of luck.

The moment he was distracted by 100-Type Guanyin was exactly the time when Kurapika had already 'laid out' his next attack.

Kurapika always uses only one chain ability in each exchange, and frequently re-conjures his chain when defending and switching the chain abilities.

On one hand, it is necessary for defense, and on the other hand, it is to cover up the fact that he can actually use multiple chain abilities at the same time.

And it can allow Bonolenov to receive this wrong information during the battle.

In fact, Kurapika can switch between chain abilities easily without re-conjuring, and can use two abilities at the same time.

Under this premise, Kurapika used the third chain ability called [Chain of Echoes].

However, he did not reveal the Chain of Echoes ability at the beginning, but kept controlling the sword chain to stab Bonolenov, masking his true intentions and patiently waiting for the perfect opportunity.

Until Moses used the 100-Type Guanyin, which indirectly gave Kurapika the opportunity to end the battle instantly.

This is the limit of what Kurapika can do after only entering the world of Nen for a few months.

"…"

Kurapika stared at Bonolenov, who was as motionless as a puppet, without saying a word.

The Soul-Guiding Chain can hit the target's weakness and force the target to lose consciousness after completing the 'entanglement', and continuously consume the target's Potential Aura.

If Kurapika wished, he could now let the unconscious Bonolenov to experience the same torment inflicted on his people.

However-

Kurapika wasn't like the Spiders in the end.

Despite the hatred and fury burning within his scarlet eyes, the thought of torturing Bonolenov to death never crossed his mind.

"Go to hell and atone for your sins..."

Kurapika gritted his teeth slightly and used his Nen to strengthen the binding force of the chains.

Shhk-

The two-finger-thick chain tightly wrapped around the unconscious Bonolenov like a python, and the joints of the chain were deeply embedded in Bonolenov's muscles.

At the next moment-

The chains tore Bonolenov apart, splattering blood everywhere.

Some blood landed on Kurapika's cheek, but Kurapika didn't react at all, not even blinking.

Bonolenov, whose body was broken into several pieces, suddenly opened his eyes, and he regained consciousness amidst his severe injuries.

"This… is my..."

With only half of his chest remaining, Bonolenov lay slumped, staring blankly at the scattered remnants of his body a few meters away.

He was most familiar with the gaping hole on that torso.

"I... lost?"

Bonolenov's eyes slowly widened, and his rapidly fading vitality could no longer support his consciousness.

His expression frozen in place as he succumbed to death.

Kurapika didn't bother wiping the blood splattered on his cheek. He dismissed the Contract Chain and quickly looked at Moses, who is standing on the golden lotus platform, above the arena.

The radiant and formidable figure bathed in golden light etched itself deeply into Kurapika's heart.

Boom, boom, boom…

The deafening impact of 100-Type Guanyin's palm strikes echoed endlessly through the venue.

Standing tall upon the golden lotus platform, Moses's eyes remained closed.

[100-Type Guanyin: Ninety-Ninth Hand]

True to its name, the technique unleashed ninety-nine rapid palm strikes in a short span of time.

Against three opponents, Chrollo, Satoga, and Franklin, this resulted in an even distribution of thirty-three palm strikes per person.

'The old man's abilities are really impressive...but the bad news is that his remaining Potential Aura is running low.'

Moses opened his eyes and looked towards where the golden palms fell.

When he looked over, the 100-Type Guanyin had just finished the Ninety-Ninth Hands technique, with the twelve pairs of bamboo-like arms folding neatly back.

From the time Moses summoned the 100-Type Guanyin to the time he completed the Ninety-Ninth Hands, only three seconds had passed...

However, Moses's Potential Aura is almost depleted.

Although 100-Type Guanyin is powerful, its Aura consumption is equally staggering.

'Although it's only 40% of its power, after thirty-three palm strikes, the accumulated damage is no joke.'

Moses thought to himself, 'Even if a set of ninety-nine palm strikes of 100-Type Guanyin failed to kill Chrollo and the other two, it would completely crush their remaining hope of victory.'

'If my Potential Aura wasn't running out, I'd really like to try out the Zero Hand...'

Thinking of this, Moses raised his right hand and covered his face, preparing to remove the Netero Mask in advance.

"Hmm?"

After he moved his right hand, Moses found that the mask could not be removed.

'Does it take eight seconds until I can remove the mask?'

Moses was slightly surprised.

If the Illusion of the Thousand Changes is not removed after being worn for more than eight seconds, it could potentially consume its user, with the risk increasing the longer it stayed on.

But Moses didn't expect that this item had an added condition that required eight seconds before it can be removed.

At this time, three large holes were formed on the floor, and the thick stone slabs that were originally laid on the floor were no longer visible.

The Floor Master's exclusive arena are not only unusually thick, but were also heavily reinforced during the construction.

However, after being struck by the ninety-nine palm strikes of 100-Type Guanyin, only a thin layer remained.

At the center of the craters lay Chrollo, Franklin, and Satoga, motionless.

Among the three, Franklin had suffered the most.

Because when 100-Type Guanyin was performing the Ninety-Ninth Hand, Franklin arrogantly fired Nen Bullets at Moses, who was standing on the golden lotus platform.

This action made Franklin's Aura focused heavily on offense.

Therefore, when 100-Type Guanyin's palm strike came, Franklin suffered catastrophic damage.

If Franklin had not been able to exert 100% of Enhancer's characteristic, he would have been dead by now.

On the other hand, Chrollo and Satoga...

The former relied on the complete interception Emission-Type Ability to mitigate the initial wave of damage and thereby gain critical moments to react.

Before the golden shield was broken, Chrollo curled up his body as much as possible, reducing the area attacked while concentrating more Aura for defense.

So, he managed to withstand the thirty-three palm strikes of 100-Type Guanyin with great difficulty. Although he was seriously injured, he was much better off than Franklin.

Compared to the miserable condition of Franklin and Chrollo, Satoga, who was in the Three-Minute Heat state, was not so seriously injured.

After all, it was 120% Enhancement-type defensive power, and he was still in a Ken state at the time.

At 40% conversion rate, 100-Type Guanyin shouldn't have been able to harm someone at 120% Enhancement-type defensive power. However, the overwhelming might of the golden palms made even that seem plausible.
