Chapter 29: 29
As Lisa swung the muzzle to follow, Buzz continued to dodge. Lisa decisively pursued him with her black gun, unleashing a barrage of aura bullets that seemed to sweep through like a storm, quickly closing in on Buzz.
Buzz, with no time to relax, could only keep dodging.
Da da da....
Buzz's agility matched his slight build, allowing him to move like a monkey.
But no matter how fast he was, he couldn't outpace Lisa's shots.
Although the black gun's bullets weren't as powerful as the white gun's, their rapid-fire rate was formidable.
Unable to evade for long, Buzz was struck by the bullets one after another.
Amidst the impacts, Buzz's movements became awkward, and the areas where he was hit showed bullet marks—not too deep but noticeable.
"You're not an Enhancer, and you only know the basics of 'Tangle'!"
Seeing the bullet marks on Buzz, Lisa's eyes flashed with insight as she continued to fire.
The mastery of Nen is key to judging a user's strength.
Extraordinary talent is rare, and without a deep grasp of Nen, one's strength is limited.
Although Buzz's body wasn't completely penetrated by the black gun's aura bullets, the extent of his injuries gave Lisa a general understanding of his Nen skills.
"Damn woman, you're forcing my hand!"
Unlike Lisa's calm analysis, Buzz, shocked and angered by his injuries, was furious.
He initially intended to have fun after subduing Lisa, but the fight forced him to abandon that idea.
Lisa could discern Buzz was a Nen user, so she fought accordingly, but Buzz failed to realize Lisa was also a Nen user.
Most people in this world have a superficial understanding of Nen and don't even know the basic Nen categories.
Just like Kastro, who faced Hisoka in the Sky Arena in the original plot.
Though Kastro was an Enhancer, his lack of understanding led him to develop abilities typical of a Manipulator, wasting his natural talents.
Although Buzz was a Nen user, his imprisonment on the weakest underground level indicated he had reached the limit of his Nen path.
He didn't observe Lisa's aura closely, relying instead on ordinary sight.
Of course, understanding and recognizing Nen doesn't equate to strength. Some people are naturally talented and can develop strong Nen abilities despite superficial understanding.
In anger and fear, Buzz's only thought was to win quickly.
Despite his body being contorted by the bullets, Buzz relied on his agility to barely maintain his balance, then leaped a short distance away. While dodging Lisa's bullets again, he made a shooting gesture towards her with his right hand.
Strangely, nothing seemed to eject from Buzz's hand, as if it was merely a feint to confuse Lisa.
Uh-huh!
Nen is full of surprises, and Lisa, having faced Nen users multiple times, didn't ignore Buzz's sudden move.
Instead, Lisa was highly vigilant. She immediately stopped shooting and moved swiftly in one direction, focusing her aura into her eyes during the process.
"Condensation!!"
'Condensation' is an applied skill of 'Practice.'
With Condensation, one can see through an opponent's concealment.
Lisa suspected Buzz used 'In' to hide his attack.
"No?"
Contrary to Lisa's expectations, even with Condensation's sharp insight, she didn't detect Buzz's attack, as if his gesture was merely a bluff.
Below the ring, Ethan, who was observing the battle, also used 'Condensation,' focusing his aura in his eyes.
"Fake move? No, he did launch an attack..."
Although Ethan didn't see the attack during Condensation, he noticed something odd and quickly shifted his focus to Lisa, ready to intervene if necessary.
His right hand hung by his side, with sharp threads extending from his fingertips. If Lisa didn't recognize the true attack, Ethan would provide support.
Back in the ring.
When 'Condensation' revealed nothing, Lisa briefly considered that Buzz's move was simply a distraction.
But the next moment, that notion was shattered by the faint sound of something cutting through the air.
Startled, Lisa not only maintained her motion but accelerated, sprinting five or six meters away.
Raise the gun! Fire!
Once five or six meters away, Lisa quickly aimed her black pistol, but not at Buzz—she aimed at her original position.
Da da da....
In the fierce gunfire, dense bullets swept out, covering several meters. In an instant, where Lisa had stood, bullets collided mid-air with something invisible.
It was as if an invisible blade was in that space, being knocked away and deflected as the bullets hit.
"So, it's not that you're using 'In' to hide your attack; the attack itself is invisible!"
Lisa quickly assessed the situation and began to act.
While continuing to fire at the invisible blade with her black gun, she charged directly at Buzz on the ring's edge.
Boom!
The white gun, previously unused, fired as Lisa pulled the trigger, sending a powerful bullet toward Buzz's head.
He dodged hastily. From Lisa evading his [Invisible Flying Knife] to launching her counterattack, it all happened quickly. Buzz scarcely had time to react with his Nen attack.
When Lisa aimed her white gun at him, Buzz quickly sidestepped, then heard a violent crash behind him.
Boom!
A large hole appeared in the wall where the white gun's bullet struck. It looked like the work of a powerful sniper rifle, not a pistol.
