Take Something

Benjamin's pupils constricted.

In his view, Oboro had no idea of his own identity.

A mere gang leader, he's getting a bit too arrogant...

Perhaps it was some recent actions by the Fills Family that made this person quite arrogant.

"Scraps".

Benjamin said something.

Then, he suddenly raised his hand, and a heavy palm wind rose up, striking directly at Long's head.

Snap! The two men's clothes trembled as they were affected by the shockwave generated by Benjamin. However, the powerful hand failed to land on Oboro's cheek. Instead, it was blocked by a more slender arm. Oboro's five fingers were tightly gripping Benjamin's wrist.

He looked relaxed.

Compared to Benjamin's arm, which was as thick as a normal person's calf, Oboro's arm did indeed appear much thinner and longer.

But the power he unleashed made Benjamin's expression change.

His hand was immobile...

As Long's fingertips slowly pressed down, Benjamin's arm muscles instantly caved in... However, the eldest prince remained calm, his expression unchanged.

"Oh? No wonder you're so arrogant... Nen user, aren't you?"

Benjamin stared at Oboro, slightly surprised.

"The eldest prince!"

Benjamin's private soldiers nearby couldn't help but feel nervous; they hadn't expected Oboro to possess such strength.

"Need not."

Seeing that the men were about to step forward to help, Benjamin raised his other large hand and stopped them.

Suddenly, a surge of frenzied and turbulent spiritual energy erupted from the eldest prince's body. Long, who was standing right next to him, felt as if he had been hit by a hurricane, and could barely open his eyes.

In the original work, there is a passage describing Benjamin's strength, describing him as having "invulnerable Nen power," which now seems to be true.

A person's vital energy is directly proportional to their physical strength and vitality. Benjamin's physical abilities were terrifying to outsiders, so his vital energy was naturally not low either.

"I like hunting strong people... because only in this way can I prove my strength! I will hold you like a captured beast, crush your bones..." As Benjamin spoke, his arms began to move, and he was able to resist the suppression of the monster, slowly raising his arms.

They are putting up a fierce resistance.

Yes, Benjamin enjoys fighting large, ferocious beasts. He has wrestled lions, torn apart giant bears, and even killed some Magical Beasts with his bare hands... He wants to use this to satisfy his wildness and maintain his dominant state.

Since he is king, then he is invincible and inviolable.

All creatures that attempt to oppose him face only death.

Oboro turned his head to look at his arm, which was gradually bending. Benjamin's control and use of Nen was quite skilled... Moreover, based on his personal will, the strength of his Nen was not weak. Most importantly, his physical strength was outstanding.

"It seems... they've undergone systematic training in Nen power..."

Long commented.

"However, are you perhaps misunderstanding something?"

After saying that, he changed the subject, smiling faintly as he looked at Benjamin.

Misunderstand?

Benjamin paused, taken aback.

The next second, veins suddenly bulged on his forehead, and he looked pained.

I can no longer pretend to be calm.

Because his arm, which had been seemingly gradually pressing down on Long's palm through the struggle, suddenly felt a sharp pain. It was a pain that traveled through his nerves and reached deep into his brain, causing his face to instantly lose all color and turn pale.

With a sizzling sound.

The eldest prince saw that the long sleeve that Oboro was holding in his left hand suddenly exploded, shredded into pieces and fell to the ground.

The thin muscles on his arm suddenly bulged up like an inflating balloon, making his arm several times larger in an instant. The muscles and skin developed a rock-like texture, and the floating blood vessels on them looked like small blue snakes.

The surging, violent power hidden beneath his skin... made Oboro resemble an unknown creature clad in human skin.

At the same time, Oboro also unleashed his Nen, but he didn't unleash all of it, only using a portion, which flowed to the surface of his body... He activated his flesh and blood, revealing his true physical strength! Under normal circumstances, Oboro would restrain the blood and energy in his meridians, slowing down the flow, and also reducing the efficiency of his heart pumping blood... This would prevent his physique from undergoing too exaggerated a change, as he himself would find it uncomfortable to look at.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, he tries his best to maintain the minimum energy required for physical activity.

"Aaaaaah!"

Benjamin roared.

Oboro's fingers, shaped like sharp knives, easily pierced through his Nen power defenses and penetrated his flesh.

He had only raised his arm a dozen centimeters high when it suddenly dropped back down. Under the suppression of this force, it was impossible to resist.

"Too weak... The strength you perceive is merely a self-indulgent illusion. The Kakin Empire is only a part of the human world... You need to truly go out and see for yourself to understand what kind of strength you truly desire."

Long gripped the other's hand and lowered it little by little, forcing Benjamin to change his posture as well and kneel on one knee.

"The eldest prince!"

The sudden turn of events sent shivers down the spines of the group of private soldiers.

With a loud shout, the nine people simultaneously unleashed their Nen abilities. Several private soldiers skilled in close combat instantly appeared around Oboro and launched an attack, attempting to coerce Oboro into releasing Benjamin.

With a whoosh.

However, Oboro casually flicked his other hand.

Like a black whip lashing out from afar, in an instant, the attackers froze in place, their heads gone... leaving only a spray of blood on the floor and glass.

One of the main characters in the story, and also a private soldier that Benjamin heavily relied on on the Black Whale. Wu Xiaohei wanted to use his Nen, Insect Shot, on Oboro.

It is a beast that resembles a wasp.

As long as the target is hit without being detected, and certain conditions are met, the opponent can be killed without physical contact.

However, before he could fully unleash his Nen, the man in the suit in the distance looked over with his deep eyes. His sharp gaze was like two swords, piercing through his eyes and into the depths of his heart.

Along with it surged forth the man's aura... an aura filled with evil.

Under this mental pressure, Wu Xiaohei found his body trembling uncontrollably, and he couldn't even use his Nen properly. The entire hall seemed to have turned into a pitch-black cave, while Long became a terrifying beast that had been awakened, opening its pair of crimson blood eyes and staring at the food that was being served to it.

His temper... was out of control.

Oboro knew a lot about the eldest prince's private soldiers... All the information about their Nen was exposed to him.

One of the most outstanding characters in the Black Whale is Rihan, Benjamin's private soldier. His ability is that of Outsider, who can create a Nen beast that can counter the enemy's Nen by analyzing the target's Nen. In the original work, it was the Nen beast he conceived that devoured Hachioji's guardian spirit Nen beast.

In principle, his ability is more like Exorcism...

The problem is that Oboro in front of us is not using Nen; he is simply killing people using Nen.

Without sufficient intelligence and data for analysis and preparation, he naturally couldn't generate a Nen beast to restrain Oboro...

Moreover, all of this happened so fast that he had no time to prepare.

"Ah!"

At that moment, Benjamin roared and swung his other fist at Oboro.

With a loud bang, the few remaining private soldiers, without even blinking or seeing what happened, only heard a loud explosion.

As they watched, Long lifted his foot, his pants bursting through his bulging muscles, while the eldest prince flew out, crashing into the hard wall, his blood flowing freely and embedded in the stone and soil, his eyes rolling back, as if... he had lost consciousness.

Nine private soldiers, at the scene... only four are still alive.

"Don't do anything foolish... otherwise, I'll kill him..." Long slowly lowered his outstretched foot to the ground, tapped the toe of his shoe, and said calmly.

He was referring to Benjamin.

These private soldiers, though their expressions were flustered and somewhat disoriented, showed no fear... indicating that they were not afraid of death. The eldest prince's training of them was still excellent; after all, they were soldiers with outstanding dedication.

But with Benjamin's life threatened, the men dared not act recklessly.

Suddenly, eerie, dark green mist began to emanate from beneath Long's feet, spreading throughout the entire room.

Indistinct ghostly figures, like fish swimming in water, swayed back and forth in the mist... Some ghosts even climbed onto the private soldiers, making the scene inside the house particularly eerie.

The air temperature seemed to have turned cold as well.

Long slowly walked to the wall, and under the watchful eyes of several private soldiers, raised a hand and reached towards Benjamin's chest.

His actions caused some ghosts around him to fly over, turning into wisps of floating will-o'-the-wisps that eventually attached themselves to Oboro's arm.

His entire arm was engulfed in green flames, which looked quite sinister.

And so, a miraculous scene unfolded.

Oboro's arm passed through the eldest prince's chest unharmed and penetrated his body.

With another pull, Oboro ripped a human-shaped, ethereal soul from Benjamin's body, but only a part of it.

It is the spirit of Prince Benjamin!

A piece was torn off.

"Hehe."

Long chuckled softly.

With the other hand raised, the surrounding mist churned, and two ghosts appeared, dragging a strange object.

It was a lantern hanging on a Chain.

It also resembled a small cage... For some reason, the moment this thing came into view, the four survivors felt shrouded in an ominous aura.

Then, Oboro opened a small door of the cage, stuffed a part of Benjamin's soul inside, and closed it again.

After doing all that, he immediately withdrew his abilities.

The space inside the hall has been restored to its original state.

"You may leave now, taking your eldest prince with you..."

Long casually dismissed them.

"What... what... what did you do?"

Rihan asked, his voice trembling.

"Can't you tell? I took something from him..."

Long raised his eyebrows.

A simple sentence sent chills down the spines of the four men.
