On the deck, under the blue sky, Kite, with a long sword at her waist, had earlier leaped up the mast and was observing the battle from the sails.

Both Roy and Pariston gave him a strong sense of danger!

Especially Roy... Kite pulled down her hat brim, clearly seeing that the blade tip ignited from friction with the air—a genuine fire in the physical sense, not a fire created by "Nen" attached to the blade. In other words... Roy Zoldyck, besides his superb Swordsmanship, possessed physical abilities far surpassing hers...

Add to that that strange "pressure" and "suction"... he's truly an unfathomable fellow.

"Hi-lu-lu-lu..."

The horse's hooves pounded down with the force of a thousand pounds!

The spear that Roy had previously severed with a single blow was repaired by Pariston using his Nen Qi and instantly grew back. Seizing the opportunity, he thrust forward along with his horse's hooves!

Roy remained unfazed, casually slapping the air with his left hand!

[Magnetism & Compression]

"Pop!" The air froze, forming a wall that instantly stopped the horse's hooves and spear. Then, with a wave of Roy's hand, the rider and horse were thrown back, unable to get close to him at all...

"Here it comes again, it's 'oppression'." Kite narrowed her eyes, noticing Roy's starting move. His right hand was wrapped in milky white "Nian," like a magnet that could switch magnetic poles at any time, deciding whether to "repel" or "attract," thereby manipulating the magnetic field to achieve the purpose of knocking away and Attraction others.

"Heh heh heh... That's fantastic, Roy Zoldyck!" Horses were thrown off, riders tumbled, some even falling into the sea... Pariston, however, seemed unfazed, snapping his fingers again. "Elephants, come!"

"Moo--" A powerful and resounding elephant bellow resounded.

The vibrations were so strong that everyone's eardrums were hurting!

Some were bewildered and at a loss, some were terrified and confused, some covered their ears, not knowing what was happening, and then—

A Uzumaki Clan suddenly opened up on the Chessboard, vaguely revealing a huge, sharp tusk, then the trunk, the body, the tail... finally revealing the whole picture...

It was War Elephant with its head covered in thick scales and metal horns!

"Boom!" The War Elephant raised its trunk and trampled with its four legs... The entire "Poseidon" seemed to tremble. The deck could be seen to be unable to bear the weight and began to crack. In the captain's cabin, everyone was shocked and their mouths were wide open. They didn't know what words to use to describe the shocking scene before them.

Many people even forget that they are still in the "Point Scramble," needing to snatch other people's number plates, collect points, and improve their ranking.

But... he forgot... he forgot everything... even the old captain couldn't remember, staring blankly as his beloved treasure ship was ruined, unable to utter a single syllable.

I still remember that on the day he received the order from his superior, he patted his chest and confidently assured his superior—

Even if this year's test takers beat the dogs senseless, his "Poseidon" was still the toughest. Even if it got a cut, it still showed that those test takers were capable.

Now... Mark Sim has given up thinking and started praying... He'd be incredibly lucky if the ship didn't sink before reaching Doli Island.

"Hehehe... Little Hill, stomp him to death!" Clark dealt with the constant onslaught of Nen Needle, his fists wrapped in [Entanglement] as he clashed with Illumi for a few moves, each taking two steps back to briefly create distance between them.

Illumi shook his hand, glancing worriedly at Roy out of the corner of his eye... The War Elephant seemed to understand human speech, pointing at Roy with Pariston: "Go!"

With a thunderous roar, the four legs stomped on the deck, each step leaving a crater and sending splinters flying. As it charged closer, the ivory-like creature, adorned with metal horns, thrust forward, determined to pierce Roy from both ends!

"Young Master!" Gotoh threw a coin at the War Elephant, but the War Elephant was thick-skinned and didn't notice the coin embedding itself in its body. It charged forward without a care and was right in front of Roy in a second!

"Didn't anyone tell you not to get distracted during a fight?" Taking advantage of Gotoh's momentary lapse in attention, Gore touched the cross, which released a wisp of gray mist. Once inhaled, it would cause hallucinations, depression, loss of interest in everything, and suicidal thoughts.

Therefore, Gotoh was always on guard. Even after being punched by Gore with [Entanglement] attached to him and sent flying, he didn't dare touch the mist at all...

With a "bang," as Gotoh flew backward, Roy finally made a move... He thrust his Cane Sword into the ground, and instead of retreating, he advanced, rolling up his sleeves and grabbing the ivory at the opportune moment... Under the astonished gazes of Pariston, Kite, Illumi, Clark, Gore, Kurajing Mark Sim, and others, he calmly said, "Rise!"

Then I saw...

The enormous War Elephant, which occupied half of the deck, was lifted into the air by the Sun-Earring Boy's arms, its four legs pointing to the sky, howling in terror, before being thrown into the sea!

"Splash!" The massive object plunged into the water, splashing up a huge glob of water...

The Sun-Earring Boy clapped his hands, then looked up again. "That's it?"

Pariston's face paled, and his breathing began to become erratic...

"Concretization" is not "fantasy"; it requires the "consumption of Nen" to create a concrete object.

[Yorbian Chess] is Pariston's Nen Ability. As the name suggests, it's a chess the Game Yorbian. Pariston has loved playing it since childhood and even won a prize in an international tournament. Therefore, the moment he discovered Pariston's Conjuration " through the " Water Divination...

.

This led to the idea of developing a corresponding "Nen Ability" using "chess" as the "object of Visualization".

As it turned out, his approach was correct, and the development process went very smoothly. "Eight Pawns," "Eight Knights," "Four Bishops," "Two Rooks," "One King," and "One Queen" were successively created, becoming his reliance for traveling the world.

The elephants were clearly useless now... Pariston took a deep breath, abandoned the War Elephant, covered his face, and watched through his fingers as Roy drew his Cane Sword again and approached him step by step. Never before had he been forced into such a wretched position...

All I can say is... he truly lives up to his Zoldyck!

The Sun-Earring Boy shrugged, then chuckled, suppressing a laugh.

"Hehehe... Honestly, I never thought I'd be in this situation."

Pariston, his voice hoarse, looked earnestly at Roy and said, "Thank you for reminding me. Next time I encounter someone like you, I'll plan ahead and be more meticulous."

Roy remained silent, simply carrying his Cane Sword as he approached.

As evening approached and the setting sun cast a brilliant glow, it draped a red cloak over him. The Sun-Earring Boy stopped, raised his Cane Sword, and asked, "Are you finished?"

Pariston:""

His face flushed red, and for the first time, an expression of anger appeared on his face!

He clapped his hands and shouted, "Silver Dragon Possession!"

"Roar!"
