For instance, because of his presence, Chrollo had created not just one bookmark this time, but two, giving him the possibility of using more abilities simultaneously.
But two bookmarks also meant greater risks and stricter restrictions.
There was another possibility: the dagger in Chrollo's hand had not been conjured, and he had actually prepared to take Qiao Lun's attack head-on from the start.
But how would that explain why the dagger in Chrollo's hand was almost identical to the one conjured by his ability?
Or had he seen it wrong? Or had Chrollo noticed early on and deliberately disguised a dagger?
Countless thoughts flashed through Qiao Lun's mind, but then he clearly understood one thing: whether Chrollo had Feitan's Nen Ability or not, he could not stop here.
If he did, then Qiao Lun would make Chrollo unleash it.
If he did not, that would not affect Qiao Lun's continued attacks either. He would simply need to adjust his strategy: his next attack had to kill in a single blow, giving Chrollo no chance to use Feitan's Nen Ability!
This was also the drawback of Feitan's Nen Ability.
Injuries could increase the power of Feitan's Nen Ability, but deciding how much damage to take before using it was entirely up to the individual.
And if he misjudged it and ended up being killed instantly, there would be no way to trade death for an even stronger Nen Ability.
Unless Feitan could be certain that his death would turn it into Post-Mortem Nen and unleash his Nen Ability.
But even if that were the case, Qiao Lun was not afraid. After all, Post-Mortem Nen under those circumstances could absolutely count as a Cursed Spirit as far as he was concerned.
And dealing with Cursed Spirits was his specialty.
