An Undefendable Ability

"Too... too strong! Is this what a Floor Master-level battle looks like?"

Watching the arena, which had been so devastated it was almost unrecognizable, Zushi rose to his feet in excitement, his entire body trembling uncontrollably.

Especially after Valensa swallowed four Alchemy Stones at once and instantly transformed into an Elemental Giant, displaying terrifying Destructive Power—while Allen effortlessly took him down—it gave Zushi an entirely new understanding of Nen abilities.

So Nen could be this powerful, even surpassing the limits of humanity and allowing its user to transform into an entirely different form of life.

Wing, seated nearby, no longer wore his usual smiling expression. His face had turned exceptionally serious as he said in a very low voice, "Valensa the Alchemy Stone, a descendant of an ancient alchemist family, is a Specialist Nen user capable of controlling the four major elements of earth, water, fire, and wind. He is definitely one of the strongest Floor Masters. But what is truly frightening is the Transmutation ability that this boy named Allen used in this battle..."

"Master Wing! What exactly is Allen's true ability?" Zushi asked curiously.

"Based on the course of the battle, he first transformed moisture into hot steam, then transformed the steam into ice, and finally turned the ice back into water. It seems to be related to controlling water molecules. But the problem is that the large mass of pale-blue liquid he created out of thin air was clearly not ordinary water, because normal water could not possibly be that cold. So I cannot make an accurate judgment yet. But one thing is certain: his ability is nearly impossible to defend against completely." Wing narrowed his eyes and analyzed the matter seriously.

"Impossible to defend against?" Zushi wore a puzzled expression.

Not yet twelve years old, he had never even heard relatively specialized and complicated terms such as "humidity" and "Moisture content."

Wing clearly understood that as well. He calmly adjusted his glasses and explained, "Zushi, I don't know whether you have noticed this in daily life.

When you are near the sea, a lake, or in the early morning before the sun rises, the air often feels especially damp when you breathe.

But when you are near dry regions or deserts, the air feels especially dry when you breathe.

That is because the air we breathe every day actually contains a large number of water molecules.

Think about it. If Allen's ability truly controls water molecules, then it is equivalent to controlling breathing.

In an instant, he can turn the moisture in the air you inhale into your lungs, trachea, nose, and mouth into scorching steam or ice below zero degrees.

Those fragile internal organs of the human body cannot withstand such drastic changes in temperature, causing frostbite and necrosis.

The alveoli in the lungs, which exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide, will slowly suffocate you to death once heavily damaged."

After hearing this, dense beads of sweat instantly Emerged across Zushi's forehead. He said in a slightly trembling voice, "So unless someone can avoid breathing and force all the air out of their lungs, they have no Winning Odds at all against Allen."

"That's right! Of course, Special Nen users capable of rapidly recovering from injuries might still have a chance. In any case, his strength has already far surpassed the level of Sky Arena Floor Masters. Let's go. I imagine that for quite some time, none of the Floor Masters will dare issue him another challenge."

After saying that, Wing ignored the ordinary spectators around them, who were still shouting and cheering wildly. He stood up, pulled his disciple along, and left early.

Less than a minute after they left, Killua took the initiative to ask, "Gon, did you hear what they said?"

Gon hurriedly nodded hard. "Hmm! Even though I can't see it, I can feel it. When Allen fought the Floor Master, he must have been using that power called Nen."

"It seems Hisoka, Eldest Brother, and Allen are so strong because they mastered this power. So what should we do next? Should we find Allen, or should we find Zushi and his teacher, Wing?" An impatient gleam flashed in Killua's eyes.

Having lived under Illumi's controlling shadow since childhood, he desired the power to oppose his Eldest Brother more than anyone else.

"Um—I think it would be better to find Allen. After all, we know him a little better." After a brief moment of thought guided by his beast-like instincts, Gon chose the former.

In his view, when learning a power one knew absolutely nothing about, it was only natural to find someone familiar and powerful enough.

"OK! Then let's find him."

Without another word, Killua immediately found a shortcut leading directly to the contestants' entrance passage. Taking advantage of their small statures, the two of them weaved through the crowd and, before long, blocked Allen's only route.

But not long after they arrived, they suddenly felt an astonishing wave of malice descend from above, instantly enveloping the entire contestants' passage.

The next second...

More than a dozen people dressed in wildly different styles slowly emerged from the darkness, surrounding Allen and Bodrō.

Yet when Allen saw this, not only did he show no trace of tension or panic, he even smiled and asked, "Are you also going to stake all your Nen on a fight with me, honorable Floor Masters? Whether it's in the arena or out in the world, I'll accompany you to the end."

"Brat! Don't you think you've gone too far?" one of them demanded aggressively.

"Too far? No. I merely stated the facts. In truth, your level is about the same as criminals wanted on the Hunter website with danger ratings between B-rank and A-rank. And whether it's combat awareness or adaptability, you are far inferior to them. How about this? To give you some confidence, starting today, I'll accept 1v2 challenge requests. Well? Do any of you want to give it a try?" Allen meaningfully offered conditions that were absolutely disadvantageous to himself.

Unfortunately, these Floor Masters were not as courageous—or as foolish—as he had imagined.

Not one of them dared respond even after quite some time had passed, and in the end, they retreated in disgrace.

They had already seen the tip of the iceberg of Allen's abilities and had yet to come up with a way to deal with them. No matter how many people they sent in now, they would only be throwing themselves away.

Watching the Floor Masters' retreating backs, Bodrō finally could not resist mocking them. "These are the Floor Masters who stand above all the fighters of Sky Arena? They don't even have the courage to fight! I'm ashamed to be associated with them!"

Allen shook his head indifferently. "Don't be so harsh. Their choice isn't wrong. In a sense, my level in Nen abilities far exceeds theirs, whether in aura capacity or Ability Development. Perhaps it's time to leave this place and search the broader world outside for some formidable targets to hunt."

"Huh? Allen, are you leaving Sky Arena?"

The moment Gon heard that, he immediately popped out from a corner.

Killua followed close behind.

However, when he saw Bodrō, whom he had once killed, an awkward and ashamed expression immediately appeared on his face. Several times, he wanted to say something, but in the end, he could not bring himself to speak.
