Getting What He Wanted

"Oh? You actually dodged it! I didn't expect your senses to be so sharp."

Allen, who had slipped through the gap between the two Nen bullets, spotted the funnel-shaped crater on the ground, and a flicker of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

According to his calculations, his opponent should have crashed straight into the projectile he had launched.

After all, what he had imbued that little thing with was not merely the Destructive Power Rikudō gained through rotation, but also the speed enhanced by his own Nen.

Normally, because the acceleration at the instant of launch exceeded the speed of sound, most people would be hit the moment they saw the flash of cold light, without even having time to dodge.

Yet Rikudō had relied on his own high mobility to forcefully pull off an abrupt stop and turn, narrowly avoiding the strike.

Otherwise, with his half-baked Nen defenses—he had not even mastered Ken or Ko—he would probably have been finished by a single hit.

"Damn it! What was that?"

Rikudō felt sweat soaking his entire body, and intense fear filled his eyes.

He could not help being afraid!

He had nearly died just now!

Killed instantly by something the Naked Eye could barely perceive!

"You mean this?" Allen asked as he pulled a Mithril Arrowhead without a shaft from his waist pouch.

Ever since he had taken Rikudō's ability, he had been seriously considering developing it into a mid-range attack that was fast, stealthy, and could be unleashed rapidly in large quantities.

After thoroughly testing the penetration, Destructive Power, and firing speed of the most easily obtainable coins, specially made conical spinning tops with serrated edges, and the Mithril Arrowheads he could acquire through the Game System, he decisively chose the last option.

The reason was simple!

Mithril was originally a special substance formed by the accumulation of magical energy in Azerath. Once smelted into metal, its hardness, toughness, strength, and malleability were all first-rate, far surpassing any high-tech alloy in this world.

Thus, when a triangular Mithril Arrowhead flew toward its target at supersonic speed while spinning rapidly under the enhancement of Nen, its Destructive Power far exceeded that of a large-caliber sniper rifle.

Moreover, the rapid rotation allowed the arrowhead, upon touching its target, to instantly inflict tremendous damage on a Nen user's defensive aura, whether it was Ten, Ken, or Ko.

"An... arrowhead!" Rikudō's pupils dilated, contracted, then dilated again. In an incredulous tone, he asked, "You're using Rikudō's ability?"

Allen smiled and nodded. "Ah! That's right! His ability is powerful, isn't it? What I'm using now is merely the simplest application, and also the one with the least Destructive Power. In truth, all three of your abilities are quite good. There were only slight deviations in their development directions. Take your high-speed movement, for example. You could completely apply it to yourself, allowing for acceleration, sudden stops, and turns in every direction without blind spots—even in midair. Just imagine how enormous an advantage that would be in an unrestricted fight. But it's fine. Once I obtain them, I'll improve them little by little and give them a second spring."

"Dream on! I won't let you succeed!"

With an enraged roar, Rikudō rapidly unleashed a massive amount of aura to envelop his body, while accelerating the wheelchair beneath him to its limit and charging head-on like a madman.

His goal was simple. Since the two Nen bullet launch tubes mounted on the chair could not hit his opponent, he would turn himself into one massive Nen bullet.

As for whether he would be injured or even die after the collision, that was not something he needed to consider right now.

"The resolve for Mutual Destruction? What a pity..."

Allen simply stood where he was without even moving, watching as his opponent continuously changed directions and cut into within ten meters from an extremely tricky angle.

The next second...

Bang!

A cloud of white frost burst into the air, instantly freezing the man where he stood.

Hunter Survival skill—Freezing Trap!

It could directly freeze hostile targets that came near. Unless they took damage, they had to remain there obediently for twenty seconds.

It was a force akin to a mandatory law. Even a powerful Nen user like Hisoka would be unable to break free, much less a half-baked amateur like Rikudō who had not even fully learned advanced application techniques.

"Look! A new ability! Contestant Allen has used an ability never seen before! Contestant Rikudō has been frozen in place and can't move at all!"

The female commentator excitedly stood up and shouted through the broadcast to the spectators in the stands.

Since their earlier clash had unfolded at tremendous speed, she had not been able to get a word in. Now that she had finally found an opening, she hurriedly seized every second to whip the atmosphere into a frenzy.

"Sorry, but it's over. Thank you for your efforts. I'll make good use of this ability."

As soon as he finished speaking!

Allen took out a Mithril Arrowhead and launched it directly at his opponent's heart.

Bang!

In an instant!

A bloody hole as large as a human head appeared in Rikudō's chest. Huge amounts of flesh, organs, and bones shredded apart by the spinning arrowhead splattered everywhere, creating an exceptionally spectacular and shocking sight across the arena.

Disbelief filled his eyes as he fell backward onto the arena floor, his entire body twitching uncontrollably.

All conditions fulfilled

Activating Nen ability—Life's Plunder

"Red Dragon! Devour him!"

Without hesitation, Allen gave his Nen Beast the command to feed.

If Rikudō and Goz's abilities were the sort he could take or leave, things he would not care much about missing, then Rikudō's ability was something he absolutely had to obtain.

Because speed was the most important attribute, no matter the time, place, or circumstances.

As long as one's speed reached a certain level, whether attacking or retreating, the initiative would remain firmly in one's hands.

Soon, as the glowing cocoon was swallowed in a single bite by the ever-growing Red Dragon, he finally obtained the power he had desired most at this stage—the ability to maneuver at high speed like a jet fighter.

Without any hesitation!

After the Red Dragon vanished once more, Allen immediately wrapped his entire body in Ken and tried using the ability. In an instant, he crossed the arena at a speed the Naked Eye could not discern and arrived directly inside the contestants' passageway.

Boom!

Because he had moved so fast that he broke the sound barrier, a deafening boom echoed over the entire spectator stands.

Whether it was the referee or the spectators in the stands, everyone stared in shock at the rapidly dissipating white shockwave before erupting into earth-shaking cheers once more.

The referee hurriedly announced the result of the match and notified the Staff Members to deal with the unsettling chunks of flesh and blood on the arena floor.

After gauging the aura consumption from moving at full speed just now, a faint smile appeared on Allen's face. In a voice only he could hear, he murmured, "What an outstanding ability! I've finally made up for my last weakness. Next, I'll hunt Nen users in large numbers and use their aura and Life Essence to strengthen myself until I reach—and surpass—Chairman Netero..."
