The situation in the arena was clear at a glance.
The Phantom Troupe had arrived certain of victory, only for Moyu's strength to shatter both their initial numerical advantage and their meticulously prepared encirclement plan.
Now, the pressure of battle had shifted onto Chrollo and the other remaining spiders.
After a brief meditation, Moyu had recovered a little of his latent aura.
Outside combat, he could theoretically maintain Ken for about ten seconds.
In combat, its ideal duration was three to five seconds.
With so little latent aura, using it through multiple rounds of fierce combat was clearly unrealistic.
But it was enough to crush Chrollo's hopes completely under these circumstances.
That was right—
No matter how hard Chrollo racked his brains, he could no longer think of a way to kill Moyu now.
There seemed to be only two choices left before him.
One was a largely pointless fight to the death; the other was to preserve as much strength as possible and wait for another chance at revenge.
Chrollo looked expressionlessly at Moyu, and Bandit's Secret in his right hand dissolved into scattered motes of light.
The protective barrier of I Reject Everything had collapsed and would enter its cooldown again, so dismissing Bandit's Secret first was a necessary step toward using another Nen ability.
This was also an unavoidable restriction on how Bandit's Secret could be used.
Moreover, if he stole a Nen ability that required both hands, another restriction—that he had to hold the book in his right hand—made it impossible to use that ability.
These restrictions imposed by Bandit's Secret significantly limited the combat strength Chrollo could display.
If he could free both hands, not only would he be able to use martial arts more effectively, but his available options would also increase...
