The defining trait of a Shadow Clone was—
When conjuring a Nen Clone, a shadow was needed as its vessel.
If the Shadow Clone was retracted, the shadow would inevitably return.
Hisoka was not the only one who knew this. Many people who had fought Moyu also understood it.
Besides, after being tricked by Moyu so many times, how could Hisoka possibly overlook something like this?
That was why Hisoka had noticed long ago that Moyu's shadow was not by his side and had naturally remained on guard.
Was he overreacting?
When facing anyone else, there really would have been no need to be so cautious.
But the person before him was Moyu, so he had to account for every possibility.
The odds of victory as Hisoka saw them—
Could only exist under the condition that no mistakes were allowed.
Rather than being suddenly tricked to death by Moyu, it was better to remain cautious and proceed step by step...
Hisoka had done what he believed needed to be done, only for Moyu to suddenly claim that he had not hidden a Shadow Clone in advance.
Given Moyu's extraordinary cunning, how could Hisoka possibly believe him?
Seeing that Hisoka clearly did not believe him, Moyu felt rather helpless.
He had said this was a proper duel. Hiding a shadow in advance would have been far too dishonorable.
"Hisoka, I'm currently a man without a shadow. Literally speaking, I've lost my shadow, so I really didn't hide a Shadow Clone beforehand."
To dispel Hisoka's doubts, Moyu could only explain further why his shadow was not with him.
Hisoka raised an eyebrow at once. How could he readily believe anything Moyu said during a battle?
Verbal traps and the like...
They were far too common coming from Moyu.
"Heh heh."
Thus, Hisoka
