Youth Restored
At this very moment.
Sashado sat high on his stone throne, looking relaxed and at ease, his gaze mocking as he watched Netero, who was struggling to dodge.
At this moment, he was like a cat playing with a mouse.
With his powerful ability to manipulate everything around him, he could simply wave his hand and a large amount of inorganic matter in the environment would transform into various sharp and terrifying weapons, launching wave after wave of fierce attacks on Netero.
Although he noticed that Netero had just received a strange potion from his companion.
But Sashado didn't care.
After emerging from the [Netherworld Gate] and regaining his powers, he no longer had much to fear about this world.
Even if.
He has become fully aware of the immense power of the various weapons developed by humankind in this era through various media reports.
But in Sashado's view...
The powerful weapons that humanity possesses in this era not only have no chance of being used against him, but in fact, they will become his assets in the face of his abilities!
Therefore, he has a confident mindset.
However, he did indeed overlook the arrival of Ian and his group because of the [misfortune -Disaster-Repelling Sticker].
He subconsciously forgot about Eluna and Aimina, his attention now entirely focused on the battle with Netero in front of him.
He wanted to derive enjoyment from this battle.
Intermission.
After a brief respite, Netero hadn't even had a chance to use the [Performance-Enhancing Liquid] given to him by Ian before he was once again struggling to dodge Sashado's attacks.
Finally, after dodging the seemingly inescapable barrage of thrusting attacks...
Netero found his opportunity.
Despite his advanced age, he was surprisingly agile, unlike any other old man. After forcefully throwing the [Performance-Enhancing Liquid] into the air, he stomped his feet hard on the ground.
"Bang!"
Like a whistling cannonball, Netero instantly tumbled into the air, reached out, grabbed the bottle, and sprayed the red liquid inside onto his body as he tumbled.
"Oh?"
From his high stone seat, Sashado interest.
"Mortal... do you think you can defeat me by using some kind of potion?"
If he had known that Netero was creating an opportunity for someone else to use the potion, he would have simply refrained from intervening and given Netero that chance.
To him, all of this was just a game for his amusement.
If we can give this mortal who has reached the Extreme Realm another surprise, it would be quite interesting.
Of course, if the other party could submit to him here, it would be something that would make him even happier.
At the same time.
Netero was unaware of Sashado's thoughts.
The effects were noticeable very quickly after using the [Performance-Enhancing Liquid]!
Netero's aged face was now filled with shock as he looked down at the empty bottle, his eyes wide with disbelief.
"Ian... what exactly is this item you gave me...?"
He murmured in a hoarse voice, because of the comprehensive enhancement and improvement.
At this moment, his thoughts were incredibly clear and swift; he clenched his fist lightly, feeling a youthful, vigorous strength he hadn't felt in countless years...
No... it's a continuous stream of power surging from within him!
For this centenarian, this was simply unbelievable.
Even... this is something that even thought cannot do.
After all, even the generation of Nen requires the unity of Essence, Energy, and Spirit, and spirit. Without sufficient physical strength, Nen will definitely be weakened.
Those who never grow old cannot understand the feeling of their body nearing its end.
Young people cannot empathize with the physical decline and weakness brought about by the passage of time...
And Netero experienced all of this...
Even though he is still at the top of the Nen user, he knows very well that he has weakened considerably compared to his younger self!
The most obvious manifestation is...
His once muscular physique, which had undergone countless trials and was nearly as powerful as Biscuit's, was now like a deflated balloon.
In battle, one can no longer rely on a strong physique, but rather on skill, experience, and Nen to sustain the fight!
Netero initially thought he had accepted everything...
However, after using the [Performance-Enhancing Liquid], I felt like my body had instantly returned to its youthful state, and my mood completely changed!
He couldn't help but clench his fists, unable to suppress the powerful force within him!
"Boom!"
With just a clenched fist, Netero crouched slightly, and a surge of immense Nen instantly stirred the winds and clouds, shocking everyone present!
Sashado's dark eyes also showed surprise, looking at the other person with a mixture of surprise and excitement.
"He actually got stronger!?"
"This aura is quite remarkable!"
However, he still couldn't compare to him. Nevertheless, the other party had indeed given him some surprises. With such strength, Sashado believed that he could also contribute a little!
Don't worry, once I get serious, I'll take down that Netero guy!
And just then...
The Ise Armed Forces had just arrived at the edge of the city of Feilieka when they felt Netero's overwhelming Nen soaring into the sky!
None of them were Nen users.
Even ordinary people could feel the intense sense of crisis and terror in the air!
"What... what appeared in front of us?"
On the outskirts of Feilieka, a strong wind gradually picked up, making it difficult for people to open their eyes.
Even as ordinary people, they felt a strong sense of impending doom, as if something terrifying was unfolding in the city.
"Captain... Captain, should we plant a Rose Bomb here?"
At this moment, a soldier in the ranks, looking nervous but very serious, made a suggestion to the unit's leader.
Before they reached a suitable location to plant the bomb, the bombs planted along their path were named "Glory Bombs."
If an accident occurs ahead and there's no time to plant the Rose Bomb, the plan is to find an opportunity to detonate the bomb that was on the way, thus achieving the effect of taking the enemy down with them.
The captain of the Ise Armed Forces took a deep look at the enormous pillar of light shooting into the sky ahead, and the monsters swirling around it.
Although he had no idea what was happening in the city.
However, after some hesitation, he agreed to his subordinate's suggestion.
Soon enough, a soldier specializing in the use of Rose Bombs quickly ran over and placed a "Glory Bomb" there!
At the same time.
On the field, Netero crouched down, his hands clenched into fists, exuding an aura of Nen!
This body has regained its youthful state, as if it wants to vent and roar out the humiliation of being imprisoned by the aging of the past fifty years.
"Sashado, I'm here!"
Netero suddenly looked up, a slight smile playing on his lips, his voice becoming much stronger, his eyes sharp and full of conviction!
His entire demeanor changed from that of an old man to that of a spirited young man.
"Boom--"
Netero's figure vanished from his spot in an instant. At the same time, a huge crack appeared in the ground between him and Sashado, and countless rocks collapsed and shrank instantly.
"They're here!"
Sashado's eyes widened, his face filled with excitement.
However, with the blessing of the [330,000-Part Requiem Offering Ritual] ability, his mental strength was incredibly powerful, making it difficult for his eyes to detect Netero's presence.
However, he was also able to clearly "see" Netero's movements, which seemed to transcend time.
A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Everything is getting more interesting!
But.
Even though the person at the Extreme Realm is very strong this time, he will no longer be a sitting duck for the opponent like before!
