Uvogin, his entire body gleaming gold, charged straight at Silva with a punch.

"You've got guts, but the moves you used are ridiculous!"

Although it's unclear why the other person's body is glowing.

However, against the experienced Silva, the opponent's attacks were full of loopholes.

In his eyes, it was just like a babbling toddler.

"Sizzle!"

Suddenly, a blinding ball of Nen erupted from Silva's hand, crackling with terrifying lightning.

This time.

He didn't intend to launch an attack, but rather to try and counter the attack to see if it would change the influence of that unknown Nen Ability.

The two gradually drew closer.

Silva didn't even blink as the fist swung towards him; his face remained completely calm.

The opponent's attack.

This completely exposed the fact that he had not learned any combat skills.

Even the Zoldyck Family's butler wouldn't use such a clumsy attack method in battle.

Silva simply tilted his head to dodge the opponent's punch, and with a gentle thrust of his lightning ball forward, the electric rays reaching behind Uvogin.

In Silva's mind, this one move would be enough!

The "Thunderclap" in his hand had a strong paralyzing effect; even Magical Beasts would find it difficult to withstand this level of electric shock, let alone a mere human body.

It's time to collapse...

At that moment, this was what Silva was thinking.

"Holy crap, that really hurts! Where the hell did you hit me, you bastard!"

Uvogin, felt as if he'd been stabbed hard in the buttocks with an Iron Awl. The pain made his eyes widen in anger, his pupils turning red, and he roared furiously.

Damn it, they actually resorted to underhanded tactics, attacking from all three directions!

Uvogin twisted his body abruptly, using his waist and legs to unleash a punch filled with rage, slamming it heavily towards his opponent once more!

"Haohyougen!"

He simply felt that shouting it out like that was very powerful.

Of course, this also triggered the passive skill, Forced Super Armor, once again!

"How is that possible!?"

Noticing that his opponent was gleaming gold and his movements were not affected at all, Silva's pupils contracted. The next second, the [Disaster-Repelling Sticker] on Uvogin's body took effect, and Silva's Nen flow was once again disrupted.

It's like a signal connection experiencing a lag.

The flow of his internal Nen was instantly disrupted, and the "hardness" covering his body suddenly dissipated.

"Not good!"

Silva never expected that he would trigger the opponent's Nen Ability rules even though he hadn't taken the initiative to attack.

In a flash, he had considered countless ways to attack, but he rejected them all one by one.

At this moment, he had already realized how difficult this battle was!

I've never encountered an opponent like this before!

He had no way of knowing what the conditions were for the opponent's unknown Nen Ability, and his current situation was that he couldn't attack the opponent at all.

After all, who can stand being disconnected the moment they start playing?

Because the distance is too close.

At this Silva was unable to dodge Uvogin's attack and could only raise his arms in front of him, relying on his strong body to defend himself!

"Bang!"

Uvogin slammed a heavy punch into Silva's outstretched arms!

Immediately following, his perfect uppercut continued to break through, fully demonstrating the essence of the "Shoryuken." His body carried an unstoppable momentum as he rapidly soared into the air, forcibly suppressing his opponent's movements!

Silva's face was grim. Even though the veins on his thick arms were bulging as he tried to defend himself, he couldn't hold on because he hadn't circulated his Nen!

"Holy crap!!"

Uvogin also sensed the opponent's astonishing strength and immediately roared, concentrating all his Nen into this punch!

The crimson gauntlet was dazzling at that moment. It hesitated for a moment at a certain critical point, and the next second, it broke through Silva's defense, pierced upwards, and slammed straight into his jawbone!

"Bang!"

The two of them were sent flying through the air by that punch!

"It actually worked!"

At this moment, Ian rubbed his eyes, somewhat incredulous. The next instant, he revealed an excited expression and clenched his fists!

"Well done, Uvogin!"

"Not bad this time... Uvogin..."

Below, Nobunaga breathed a sigh of relief, gazing in the direction Uvogin had flown away.

Ian quickly called out to Chrollo, who was standing nearby.

"Quickly, Chrollo, seize this opportunity and don't give them another chance!"

Uvogin finally found an opportunity to strike his opponent. If they squander this chance and let the opponent escape, things will get really troublesome!

Although Ian didn't understand why Uvogin was able to hit Silva...

But this result is enough.

With the "Cool Gauntlets" providing a Forced Super Armor state, if the opponent isn't hit, they're fine, but if they are, they'll be forced into an "Aerial Suspension" state by Uvogin.

Even a brief pause would be enough for them to use their tools to make strategic deployments against the enemy!

"Snap!"

Located below, Chrollo didn't hesitate at all, raised his "Cursed Camera" upwards, and took a picture.

In an instant, he felt his body go limp, and all the Nen within him was completely depleted.

"Does it take this much Nen to activate this item?"

Chrollo looked at the camera in his hand with some surprise, gaining a deeper understanding of its function as a "prop".

The next moment.

"Hiss..."

Below the "Cursed Camera," two small dolls were washed out.

One belongs to Silva Zoldyck Family, the other to Uvogin.

Looking at the little silver-haired figure, Ian finally breathed a sigh of relief. Before this, the pressure of facing Silva's full power was simply too great.

If it weren't for Uvogin's roar at the crucial moment, which gave him the will to fight, he probably would have truly fallen into their trap...

At this moment.

Suppressed by Uvogin as he continued to ascend, Silva Nen a very ominous premonition welled up in his heart!

Until I heard a "click" sound from below.

His pupils suddenly contracted, a sense of foreboding washing over him. The "camera" in the opponent's hand, whose function he had never understood, had its Nen Ability's condition... met!!

"Laugh!"

As soon as Silva regained his mental strength, his eyes were filled with coldness and ferocity. Instinctively, his hands clenched together, transforming into Flesh Blade, intending to end Uvogin's life in front of him!

But at the crucial moment before he could strike, he instantly regained his senses and quickly stopped his attack.

Don't use your hands!

Once we take action, we'll be limited by unknown abilities!

His expression was serious, even somewhat unpleasant.

He reached out and grabbed Uvogin with both hands, his body arched, his waist slightly bent, and in the next moment, under Uvogin's angry gaze, he stepped onto the ceiling, bent his legs, and fell to the ground like a cannonball!

Even if you can't attack the other party.

However, perhaps seizing that "camera" would solve the other side's problem.

Silva's eyes were cold, his icy gaze fixed on the "Cursed Camera" in Chrollo's hand.

There was a dent in his chin, a testament to the force of Uvogin's final punch, but for Silva, such an injury was insignificant.

His opponent's Nen Ability was what truly made him feel like he was facing a formidable enemy!

Just as he was about to make his move.

Ian had already obtained the Cursed Doll from Chrollo. He patted Silva's Cursed Doll with some emotion, thinking, "It really wasn't easy."

If it weren't for the fact that I've accumulated quite a few items recently...

Facing a master of Silva's caliber.

They will be powerless to resist and will be at their mercy.

Just one [Disaster-Repelling Sticker] item completely changed the course of the battle, putting them in an invincible position from the very beginning.

Otherwise, "killing someone upon first meeting" is no joke.

From the very start of the battle, Pakunoda Uvogin, Nobunaga, and the others were doomed...

This made Ian realize even more deeply the importance of combat intelligence among Hunters and just how overpowered the items he possessed were...

He fell silent for a moment.

They also realized that their group was currently weak in terms of Nen Abilities and combat skills and experience.

In the future, at least until I become a true powerhouse.

The information that one possesses Nen Ability items must be kept secret; otherwise, if it comes to the attention of certain individuals too early, it will only lead to endless trouble.

"Stop, Silva, from now on... the tables have turned..."

Ian gently picked up the Cursed Doll and looked at the other person, saying...
