The Pitch-Black Duel X Strength Is Everything

In the pitch-black space, Kevin dodged and weaved, feathers imbued with Nen Aura swirling around him.

Without a doubt, this is Emission Type Nen ability.

Both the Nen artifact stuck to the feather and the Nen Space that trapped him were enough to prove this point.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Several more feathers flew like arrows, but Kevin tilted his head and shifted his body to the side, easily dodging them.

Taking advantage of the brief moment, he quickly glanced behind him, and sure enough, the feathers he had dodged had vanished.

It's either hidden, simply disappeared, or returned to the other party's hands—there are only these three possibilities. "Is hiding all you can do, human?"

Crow's sharp cry came from afar, and before the words had even finished, several more feathers shot out.

"Bang!"

Kevin suddenly exerted his strength and charged forward, instantly increasing his speed as he ran straight towards the direction where the Crow was.

The sudden change in speed made the Crow hastily retreat.

With a powerful push from its slender claws, it spread its wings and flapped them forward, its body as light as a piece of paper, instantly drifting a great distance.

Kevin, who was charging forward, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Ah, this Nen Space is finite; Kevin's previously released "circle" has already explored its Boundary.

Rushing forward was simply to see where the Boundary were.

This is a long, narrow space, about 200 meters wide and about 1,000 meters long.

Such a scale is absolutely enormous.

Therefore, it can be inferred that the other party's Nen ability is based on this space, and that the person was caught here almost without realizing it.

Judging solely from the speed at which Nen ability are activated, it is truly powerful.

Instantaneous startup speed, the ability to forcibly grab, and a vast Nen Space.

What will be the price?

Kevin pondered; the other party clearly didn't intend to kill him immediately, and was obviously stalling for time.

Judging from their posture, the enemy was confident that the Griffin outside could handle Men Qi and the other two.

Based on their brief encounter, that Griffin might indeed possess such strength; it is undoubtedly the strongest Beasts Kevin has ever seen at this stage.

Even the Calamity Dragon that it had previously fought paled in comparison.

If the other party just wanted to stall me, they could simply leave me in this space and release me when their Nen ability couldn't be maintained or when the time was up.

But the other party obviously can't do that, which means the other party has to stay in this Nen Space with me.

Furthermore, the fact that the other party only arrested one of them suggests either they were extremely confident or they only had one person to arrest.

Judging from all indications, the other party was not blindly confident, but rather knew they could only capture one person, so they chose themselves, who were the strongest and most threatening.

This isn't Kevin being narcissistic; it's just the truth.

In this long, narrow space, Kevin's approach had forced the other party to the front of the space.

The Boundary of space is 300 meters ahead, and the width on both sides is only 200 meters, so the opponent's range of movement is extremely limited at this moment.

Although the opponent knew Kevin's range of movement, since this was his Nen ability space, the opponent still chose to retreat. Kevin guessed that the opponent must have witnessed his fighting style and knew that he was Enhancement Type- type Devil Fruit user Nen ability was simple and direct.

Kevin was confident that his opponent couldn't get past him and escape to the rear.

If the other party isn't an arrogant fool, then they most likely possess abilities similar to teleportation within this Nen Space.

Or perhaps there are other ways to break through one's own Blockade.

While dodging the flying feathers, Kevin rapidly analyzed the effects of his opponent's Nen ability in his mind.

At this moment, the Crow watched Kevin nimbly dodge the attacks, and after testing him for a while, it no longer approached easily.

Although it was squawking and trying to distract Kevin, it was actually feeling increasingly pressured and kept muttering to itself.

All we need to do is stall him.

This Crow had secretly observed Kevin's battles many times in the Secret Realm and knew his strength well; it was a pure form of violence.

Even with this intelligence, the advantage is very limited.

Suddenly, the pressure ahead increased sharply. Seeing Kevin charging towards them again, the Crow hurriedly fired a large number of feather knives infused with Nen Aura, while desperately retreating backward, quickly sticking to the dark, invisible Boundary.

"We've been forced to the Boundary so quickly, damn humans!" it muttered, looking at Kevin charging straight at it. Cold sweat broke out on its forehead. The pressure was too strong. If it were touched even once, it would probably be in dire straits immediately.

"Heh heh, humans, this is my territory." With that, the Crow completely disappeared into the Boundary, merging into the darkness.

Seeing this, Kevin thought to himself, "Just as I thought." He pondered, "Where could the Crow come from?"

The best placement would be the ceiling or the floor behind it.

However, what he saw was Crow appearing instantly from one end of the Boundary to the other.

Kevin frowned, realizing he was in trouble; he might really be kept here indefinitely.

If the opponent's movement in space has distance limitations or a cooldown period, Kevin still has a chance to catch them with his speed.

Judging from the current situation, no matter how the opponent moves, as long as there is no cooldown period in between, the opponent is invincible.

The opponent could easily move back and forth between these two ends. Over a distance of one thousand meters, it would indeed be difficult for me to outrun the opponent's Teleportation speed along the wall.

If the other party is patient, there's really nothing I can do about it.

Indeed, this kind of mechanism-based Nen ability can be quite troublesome at times.

At this point, the Crow simply stopped pretending and stood at the farthest point from Kevin, motionless.

"Are you just going to cower like a turtle?" Kevin shouted.

The Crow, however, stood by the wall, completely ignoring the crow, its purpose quite clear.

After a while, it even said directly, "Your teammate is definitely no match for that stupid bird outside. Although it's not very bright, its strength is not to be underestimated."

"I just need to stall you here until it takes care of your teammates, then I'll throw you out and deal with you all at once."

"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, only those who are strong enough will be targeted like this, right? Powerful humans."

Hearing this, Kevin couldn't help but laugh in exasperation, "You mean I should thank you for thinking so highly of me?"

Crow cawed a few times. "I can teleport Boundary the front and back sides and the left and right sides of this Nen Space without any cooldown time. As long as I cross the Boundary, I can appear on the other side I want to go."

"You are strong and fast, but at a distance of one thousand meters, no matter how fast you are, you can't outrun my speed in one step."

Don't expect me to be able to hold out with you all day long once I've exhausted my Nen Aura.

His Nen ability— [The Long Corridor]—looks very strong, seemingly requiring a huge price to be paid, but in essence, it's simply because the Nen Space is completely unusable under normal circumstances.

It's more accurate to call it a battleground than a Nen Space.

His Nen ability is essentially about choosing a target and entering a closed Nen Space with that target to fight.

Within this absolute space, its advantage lies in its ability to traverse the walls in all four directions, then use its Emission Type the opponent and gain the upper hand.

The most fatal limitation is that within this space, he cannot kill his opponent, but he himself can be killed.

Therefore, his Nen ability essentially allows him to gain an advantage and weaken his opponent through a special one-on-one space.

After canceling the Nen ability, take the opponent's life.

As Kevin listened, the other person actually began explaining the direction of his Nen ability's travel.

Either the intelligence is false, or they've become too confident to act rashly.

Kevin felt this might be an opportunity; if what the other party said was true, then to some extent, the other party did indeed feel they had him cornered.

Given the current situation, this certainly seems to be the case.

"I don't understand why you suddenly appeared and attacked us? This Secret Realm has existed for a long time, and more than one Hunter x Hunter comes here every year to hunt. We have never heard of you before."

"So, you've come specifically to target us. What's the reason?"

This was the question Kevin was most curious about, so he asked it directly.

Based on their current attitude, they are very likely to respond.

He wanted to stall, but he didn't want to play a pointless game of avoidance with himself.

"Unfortunately, I don't know either."

"What do you mean?" Kevin frowned.

"Literally, humans, we are merely following Divine Oracle to destroy you; you are our primary target."

"God? Heh, what's that?" Kevin deliberately made his tone full of disdain, as if he were humiliating the other party.

However, the Crow showed no anger upon hearing this tone, but instead said indifferently, "That is our god."

It seems that this so-called "god" is not an ordinary belief, but perhaps some powerful being that brought oranges to the Crow, making it unable to resist.

But there was no hint of dissatisfaction in the other person's tone.

"Even a god needs a reason, right?" Kevin pressed. Hearing this, the Crow cawed again, "Foolish! What reason does a god need to punish someone?"

Kevin didn't have much information.

As for the situation outside, he was somewhat worried, but not too worried.

Because the three of them, including Men Qi, carried the potion he had given them, it was a hidden trump card.

Assuming the other side began closely monitoring them from the moment they entered the Secret Realm, they should have only seen them use healing potions.

After all, healing agents are the least noticeable under normal circumstances, making it difficult for the enemy to associate them with anything else.

The enemy judged that the Griffin could eliminate Men Qi and his two companions, clearly not expecting that they had other types of potions that could enhance their strength. Based on Kevin's previous brief encounter with the Griffin, with the potions, the three would certainly not be quickly dealt with, unless there were other enemies.

But judging from the Crow's previous words and actions, it seems that there are no more helpers; the Griffin's strength alone is enough.

Of course, this could also be a deception, but there's no time to worry about that now.

Since you're unwilling to say more, there's nothing more to talk about.

"Well then, our friendly conversation ends here, Crow Monster."

Kevin took out a pale gray vial from his waist, took a deep breath, and let a large amount of oxygen flow into his body.

"What are you doing?" The Crow sensed something was wrong and pressed its entire body tightly against the Boundary.

Ready to be stored at the Boundary for transfer at any time.

He was prepared to play a time-consuming and exhausting game with the other party.

"You just said you can teleport to the front, back, left, and right. I don't know if you can only teleport to those directions or if you can teleport freely in all four directions, but that doesn't matter now."

As he spoke, Kevin smiled and shook the Gray Potion in his hand.

Did you hear that?

"What?"

The death knell has already tolled for you.

As soon as he finished speaking, Kevin tossed the potion behind him.

Just as the potion was about to hit the ground, it suddenly exploded, and a gray mist instantly spread out.

"What is that?!" the Crow cried out sharply, its voice rising noticeably, clearly panicked.

He sensed a threat.

Kevin simply smiled and said, "To thank you for the information you just provided, I can't be stingy."

As he spoke, he walked forward with steady steps, explaining, "This is my specially made Anesthetic Potion. It can enter the body through breathing, and even if you don't breathe, it will seep into the body through the skin."

"According to my calculations, people of different weights can hold their positions for different durations. I can only hold them for about fifteen seconds."

"Furthermore, this potion is diffuse; the liquid inside will evaporate instantly and spread in all directions, while your Nen ability creates a sealed space."

After saying that, Kevin stretched out his finger and gently shook it, the meaning of which was self-evident: soon the entire space would be filled with this Paralysis Toxin.

At this moment, a grayish-white mist spread out behind Kevin as he moved forward steadily, his speed almost synchronized with the spread of the toxin.

"Heh heh, no, impossible." Crow's voice rang out, its panic clearly audible.

"Really? Then why don't you try coming through the wall?" Kevin said provocatively with a smile.

He kept walking, each step striking heavily in the space, the sound echoing in the long, narrow space.

Kevin carried not only the medicine but also two or three Toxin. Besides one that was absolutely lethal, the other two were used to help capture large creatures alive.

The opponent's Nen ability mechanism is indeed troublesome, Kevin can hardly deal with it by relying solely on his physical attributes, but fortunately he is not just a brute force.

Kevin walked forward steadily, step by step, slowly raising his right fist. A large amount of Nen Aura surged in and enveloped him, the change in Nen Aura was very obvious.

He had already shown the other party through his actions that this punch was meant to take their life.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

A barrage of feathers imbued with Nen Aura rained down on Kevin.

These feather attacks would have been a real headache for him before he caught the Red Sparrow.

But now, it's not a big deal anymore.

The feather attack was extremely fast; you could almost only see the Flowing Light it shot out, much faster than the previous attack.

Kevin could easily dodge it by simply twisting his body.

At this stage, it's very difficult to hit Kevin with a ranged attack unless it has a guaranteed hit mechanism or special function.

Thank you, Red Sparrow.

Kevin drew closer and closer to the Crow, his Nen Aura radiating wildly, his malice surging forth as if it were a tangible force. The Nen Aura seemed to transform into an invisible giant hand, pressing down on the Crow relentlessly.

The Crow was now in a state of extreme panic, its body pressed tightly against the Boundary, its mind a complete mess.

It was torn: should it go through? But if the potion really contained Paralysis Toxin, the chances of it being poisoned were extremely high if it went through.

Even if you don't collapse instantly, the effects of the medicine will still take hold and have an impact on your body.

And is it really possible to stay for a while? This is only Kevin's side of the story.

It suppressed the pressure and shouted, "This is a confined space. If I wanted to, wouldn't you also be paralyzed by your own potion?"

Kevin just smiled and kept walking, "Yes, you can die with me, as long as you think your resistance to the drug is stronger than mine."

"Or you can take a gamble, betting that this Nen Space will still exist after you lose consciousness, or betting that I don't have an antidote."

Kevin's words were slow and clear, yet contained immense pressure, rendering the Crow completely unable to think.

The malevolent Nen Aura was like an iron clamp gripping its neck; Kevin's footsteps were like heavy hammer blows to its heart, each step putting more pressure on it.

Kevin was less than 400 meters away from the Crow at that moment, and would be in front of it in less than ten seconds.

The Crow seemed to already see itself being punched into mincemeat by Kevin, just like Kevin had punched through those huge monsters before.

By this moment, the Crow's feathers were already soaked with sweat, and the immense pressure had blurred its vision.

One step, two steps— the Crow now has only one choice: if it doesn't want to die, it has to release its Nen ability.

Kevin stopped talking and just walked forward in silence, his right fist gathering more and more power.

Finally, the immense pressure broke the Crow's nerves, and its taut string snapped.

"Get out of my way! You monster!"

It Courage to test whether the drug could truly numb it, and under the threat of death, it chose the only way to escape. In an instant, the pitch-black space vanished, and bright sunlight shone down.

A strong wind swept in, instantly dispersing the mist formed by the medicine.
