From above, Gelman dropped toward Bone Crow like a plumb bob. His Meat Saw transformed with a clack in midair. Gripping the handle with both hands, he aimed a slash at Bone Crow's neck!
Bone Crow reacted surprisingly quickly. It dodged by turning its head, and the Meat Saw clanged against its right wing bone, chopping the whole thing off.
"Such quick reactions... Was it using En? Those crows' eyes?" Gelman quickly glanced at the crows perched all around him. "Or both? That would give it almost completely unobstructed vision."
The right wing bone landed on the muddy ground. Before it could sink, it sprang to life and shot toward Gelman, its sharp end aimed at his abdomen!
Gelman freed his left hand and conjured a Blunderbuss. He only took rough aim before firing with a bang, and the scattered bullets immediately shattered the wing bone!
The wing bone broke into countless small fragments. The Nen Energy attached to them dispersed and returned to the natural cycle.
"Its body's gotten weaker." Gelman leaped into the air. "Because it has two forms, maybe? That actually makes this easier."
Bone Crow stood on both legs atop the mud. Strangely, despite its heavy body, it didn't sink into the bog. Nen Energy covered its feet, spreading out its weight.

"Bang!"
The concentrated Nen Energy shot out in an instant like a cannonball, blasting aside the Reed Forest and hurtling toward Gelman.
