Kargess experienced a brief illusion.
When the illusion ended and he returned to reality,
his life had already entered its final countdown.
The pain radiating from his chest constantly reminded him that death was imminent.
But what exactly was going on?
Kargess was shocked and bewildered.
He was no rookie who had just stepped into the world of Nen...
After seeing Ainbo fall victim to what appeared to be a Manipulator ability, he had remained highly vigilant. He had never skimped on Gyo, which he used to guard against hidden tricks.
If something had truly been attached to him, or if he had been struck by some Nen Ability, the Gyo he had used so frequently while fleeing would have detected it immediately.

Without paying much attention to Kargess's corpse, Moyu looked toward the large shed where the excavated items were stored.
He had chosen to come here first mainly because of the huge commotion Ainbo had
