Chapter 359 - Fighting a Nen-User - Kai's Bloodlust!
Kai licked the blood off the corner of his mouth and smiled inwardly.
Outwardly, he showed a pained expression, as if he was thinking of what to do next.
The old man ca running to him, then. "Back down, young lad," he advised, sweating all over. "You aren't his match."
There was more to the old man's words, Kai reflected.
"Oh!" he exclaid, eying the old Contestant with short white hair and dark brown eyes. "Have you recognized what he had used to send
flying?"
The old man licked his lips in fear.
"My hair didn't beco white doing nothing, you know," the old man whispered. "If I am not mistaken, then that brute is a Nen-user.
"It's best if you don't continue with his farce. Resisting Ren is difficult, young lad."
A Nen-user?! Kai's pupils trembled at the na, and then he called sothing that g had told him.
9 out of the 10 tis, only a Nen-user can resist another Nen-user, she had said. The only other way is to suppress them with sheer will and power if you don't have so special Skills or Items.
Now Kai knew why the Mana and his Telekinesis didn't work against Hadoken.
Unlike the typical wizards and ninjas, Nen-users used Aura as fuel; the Life Energy stored in an individual.
Nen was inherently linked to Stamina, making HP its source.
To beco a Nen-user, the most basic condition was to have at least 20 points in both Stamina and Perception.
The more Kai recalled g's words, the more he frowned.
It wasn't the ti for him to go through all the instructions and warnings. Nor did he have the luxury to do so.
"You have two more chances!" Hadoken's shout arrived at Kai as a rebuke. "However, I don't see the point in them..."
This sentence brought out even more laughter from the Contestants.
"Co on, lad," the old man begged. "Once he's done with you, they all will find trouble with . What did you even do to piss off a Protector, anyway? Just say sorry and..."
Kai pushed the old man away and walked toward the 6th-floor Contestant.
In between, Kai's walk beca a run, and then a gale.
His Agility was already the highest among his Attributes, if one didn't count the buff in Correspondence.
So, when Kai spun his gears, bringing out his true speed, a shocking blur materialized within the Mirror Dinsion.
Kai was so fast that even the fire roaring to his right died down, darkening the world.
Everything had gone silent for Kai, and all had beco silent in the real world as well.
Hadoken narrowed his eyes.
"Osu!" he let out a powerful shout and then took a pose with his left fist pointed to the ground, his hand outstretched, and his right hand resting on his waist.
Like a stroke of brush made of wind, Kai rushed at Hadoken and entered the mire of Aura.
Hadoken's eyes narrowed even more, and he used Ren to make his Aura explode even mightier.
Then he fused his hostile intentions into his Aura and threw it toward the incoming weakling.
20 ft...
15 ft...
10 ft...
5 ft...
Kai's eyes had gone bloodshot, his right hand almost touching Hadoken's face.
The monstrous feeling of impending doom squeezed his chest, making him tremble, and blood kept pouring out from the corners of his mouth.
Hadoken spat. "Nothing more than a pathetic attempt! Fuck off!"
Bang!
Like a rag doll, Kai got thrown hundreds of ters away.
But no laugh resounded within the Mirror Dinsion this ti.
Just when it seed Kai wouldn't get up, they saw him flicking the ground with his hand, sorsaulting to his feet, and sliding on the ground before coming to a montary rest.
His face was covered in dirt, his hat had been thrown away, and his white hair danced in the wind like threads of the smoothest silk.
Even if they didn't want to, the hearts of many girls trembled at this sight.
"Hehe!" Kai's laugh was so low and buried that only the old man heard it, making him shudder for an unknown reason.
Even a fraction of a breath hadn't passed for Kai to co to rest when he darted again.
A final mad rush!
Hadoken snorted. "If you don't know your limits, then let
sort it out for you. Osu!!!"
Hadoken's shout shook the entire world within the mirror dinsion.
By now, so had figured out the nature of his powers.
But few knew he didn't possess any Nen-ability of his own. Still, his mastery over Nen wasn't sothing a 5th or even a 6th-floor Contestant could vie against.
Otherwise, with Hadoken's talent, he wouldn't have just ranked 42 in this Tournant of Worth.
What he did possess was an acute mastery over Gyo.
Ren focused on outputting a larger amount of aura, projecting it outwards explosively.
On the other hand, Gyo was an advanced application of Ren by which a Nen-user concentrated a larger than normal portion of their aura into one specific body part.
It increased the strength of that one body part but left the rest of the body more vulnerable.
With this ground-shaking shout, a large amount of Hadoken's HP burned, becoming Aura in the next mont.
As his face paled slightly, Hadoken took a Karate pose.
His right fist rested on his waist, and his left hand was outstretched toward the incoming blur, his palm and fingers open like a wall.
This was a standard form... before firing a punch.
Unseen to others, and unfelt to most of them, an explosion of Aura burst out from Hadoken's Aura Nodes.
This Aura wasn't directed forward like before, but it gathered on his right fist, making the surrounding space fluctuate.
Kai's speed seed even a touch faster than before.
Even then, his Instincts were sharp and absurd enough to notice the difference.
To others, it seed like Kai was rushing at Hadoken because his pride had gotten wounded.
Yet, the mont Kai entered the distance of 10 ft from Hadoken...
... a hissing breath escaped his mouth.
The hiss escaping Kai's mouth replaced the wind's howls and the lingering effect of Hadoken's shout.
Blood flas soared around Kai, power gushing out from his entire body.
"Hehe!" he laughed eerily like a maniac, licking his lips. "Bloodlust... I have it, too."
Sothing happened then that nobody had expected.
Kai's face beca expressionless, his eyes looked into Hadoken's pupils, and then with a bang, his killing intent seeped out, engulfing everything in front of him.
In all eyes, it seed Kai was just using his trump card, covered in mysterious red-colored flas.
Only Hadoken faced the brunt of Kai's bloodlust. And because he was a Nen-user, he saw more than that.
To him, Kai had beco the embodint of Demon.
Kai replaced Hadoken's world.
Kai replaced the aning of existence.
Kai extinguished the aning of logic and norm.
Unknown to Kai, the end of his white hair glowed yellow.
As Hadoken's right fist stretched, punching at Kai, a primal fear originated in his heart, as if the world despised his existence. His gaze moved up, leaving Kai's face, and ca to rest a few feet above the white-haired Contestant.
Within those blood flas, a yellow-colored demonic grin could be seen, eying him with the vilest gaze a man could know.
Hadoken's teeth chattered, and his fist trembled as it advanced.
His legs lost their sense of power, and he felt his bowels going loose.
Nobody from the 2nd Set was worthy enough to sense the crisis Hadoken was facing at this mont.
No one.
At this ti, Kai raised his right hand and curled his fingers inward as if he wanted to hamr it into his opponent's face; they had co so close.
The blood flas had already taken over the vision of many, blurring Kai and Hadoken's existences.
Just when it seed it was all over for Kai, Hadoken's wide punch almost landing on his face, the trajectory of the incoming fist shook and stirred away.
Sothing even weirder and heart-palpating happened, then.
In Kai's right hand, a sword appeared, pointing at the dark sky murderously.
The mont the sword appeared, the blood flas around Kai beca so red and dense that they blinded everyone.
Kai's eyes brimd with murder.
Today... he wanted to kill.
