"Life's Beauty Lies in Stillness"
This Conjuration ability, which could immobilize its target, was precisely what Urtado and the others had relied on to escape from Gido.
In an ordinary battle between Nen users, anyone who saw Urtado conjure a camera and move to take a picture would immediately try to stop him.
Yet both Gido and Neferpitou had simply allowed Urtado to activate his ability.

There was already...
