I'm Really Not A Nen Exorcist (HxH Fanfic)

The King's eyes tracked Moses's trajectory.

Without a moment's pause, the King flashed and chased after Moses, who had not yet landed.

With the King's explosive power and speed, he could easily launch another strike before Moses hit the ground.

Facing the King's rapid pursuit, Moses's eyes were terrifyingly calm.

The previous exchange of moves had already proven the strength of the black sword in frontal combat...

Only in this way can he take the first, crucial step.

This also means that Moses possesses the same strength and capital as 100-Type Guanyin.

[Fist That Listens to the Heart]

Suspended mid-air, the world in Moses's eyes suddenly slowed down.

Even the King's unstoppable offensive became visibly traceable.

[Zetsu]

Seeing the attack trajectory of the King clearly, Moses unexpectedly closed his Aura Nodes mid-flight and instantly entering Zetsu state.

The Aura lingering around his body and the black sword held tightly in his hand all disappeared in an instant.

"Hmm?"

The King was slightly surprised to see Moses put away his Aura.

Aura can also be called life force.

The King had mastered this power from the moment of his birth.

But that didn't mean he could wield it skillfully.

It was only after clashing twice with Netero that he began to truly expand his understanding and usage of this power.

To the point that he came to a crystal-clear realization-

All power originates from life force.

Therefore, was naturally reckless to suppress one's life force.

And if Moses took the initiative to retract his sharp claws and fangs in this situation, how was that any different from committing suicide?

Just the pressure from the King's Aura alone could cause Moses, who is now defenseless, to die on the spot without even being touched.

And that was exactly the case.

Not to mention Moses, even the top five Nen Users in the world would have zero chance of standing up to the King's Aura while in Zetsu state.

That Aura, which radiate pure, lethal intent in battle, could effortlessly shatter the will of any Nen User lacking Aura protection, sending their brain into a violent shock state that would leave it completely incapacitated.

So, from a bystander's perspective, Moses's reckless act of closing his Aura Nodes was tantamount to digging his own grave.

Pouf, who had already retreated from the battle zone, saw this scene. Although he was as surprised as the King, it didn't stop him from vividly imagining the gruesome death Moses was about to suffer.

'No one can defeat the King!!!'

The bloodshot veins in Pouf's eyes still hadn't receded, making his face look twisted and feral in his surge of emotion.

And at this moment-

Although Moses was already enveloped by the Aura of the King, his will remained unbroken, and his mind also did not collapse.

This was because...

Moses possessed the mental resistance granted by [Star of Mankind's Shine].

On this 'complete' planet, there were many beings capable of erasing Moses' body in an instant, but few that could erase his will.

Naturally, the King's Aura was no exception.

With this capital, Moses was able to invoke the pinnacle of technique even while submerged in that overwhelming Aura soaked with malice.

"Old man... I'll help you prove it."

The lonely figure of Netero flashed through his mind like lightning, and there seemed to be a deeper color in the depths of Moses's glowing Scarlet Eyes.

It is the momentum of All Extinct…

A veil-like blood-red Aura unfurled behind Moses, forcefully pushing back against the oppressive blackish-purple Aura descending from the King.

At the same time, the surface of Moses's body suddenly glowed with bright Aura light again.

And the body that should've continued being flung backwards... suddenly stopped without warning, hanging motionless in mid-air.

From a distance, it looked as though Moses were standing atop an invisible platform in the sky, gazing downward at the King, who had arrived right in front of him.

There was clearly no foothold...

And clearly no external force at play…

So how had Moses so suddenly dissipated the momentum and managed to stand upon the frozen heavens?

Perhaps it was out of curiosity, or perhaps it was because of the desire for knowledge...

The King couldn't help but feel a twinge of doubt.

However, that doubt didn't hinder his attack in the slightest.

Just as he had predicted, he soared to Moses's position mid-air and launched an attack.

Once again, it was a fist charged with immense strength and Aura.

But this time, Moses didn't respond in haste. From Zetsu to Hatsu, the black sword reappeared in his hand.

And as the King processed this sequence of actions, he realized Moses had just gone from shutting off his Aura Nodes to reopening them, followed by re-conjuring his black sword.

However,

At the very moment that realization hit, the King was stunned to feel a strike land on his chest.

The black sword, that had just appeared, seemed to slice through a crack in time itself and suddenly placed its edge against the King's chest.

Shhhk-

As the sharp blade slashed across the King's chest, the condensed Aura covering it was like a waterfall that suddenly stopped flowing, and a temporary gap appeared.

And under this gap, the black sword accurately sliced into the King's flesh, and a thin trickle of blood welled up on either side of the blade, which had embedded shallowly into his body.

But-

There was little blood, and the wound was shallow.

For the King, such damage is insignificant.

But this slash gave the King a little shock.

"You and that old warrior..."

The King's pupils shrank slightly as he stared at Moses, as if he saw the presence of Netero and 100-Type Guanyin behind Moses.

'The process of suppressing one's life force in combat, only to release it again, was undoubtedly suicidal.'

'But it bore a strange resemblance to that old warrior's 'prayer gesture'.'

'The same unnecessary action that could potentially cost one their life in battle, due to some strong contradiction, became a weapon that I couldn't handle.'

'The only difference is...'

'This younger human possessed a strength even greater, and more complete, than that of the old warrior.'

"Strictly speaking, he was my master."

In a state where the perception of time had compressed to its limits, the King, who had gained some insights, clearly heard Moses's whispers.

And then-

The force applied to his chest took full effect.

The King's body was sent hurtling away, crashing down like a meteor into the shattered ruins below.

Bang!

The strong impact shattered huge chunks of rock and debris.

In the blink of an eye, the King was swallowed by the cloud of dust that erupted on impact.

When Pouf, who was outside the battle zone, saw this scene, his face suddenly changed drastically.

But the next moment he saw the King striding out from the smoke and dust, he breathed a sigh of relief as if it was a conditioned reflex.

The King stepped out of the smoke, looked up at Moses standing on the frozen sky, and asked in an inquiring manner:

"How many humans like you are there?"

"Just me."

Moses deactivated his [Shadow Anchor] ability and floated down toward the ground.

The aura boost granted by All Extinct was still in effect, making his voice brim with killing intent.
