If the magical beasts of this world could use nen, they would certainly be Enhancers.
By utilizing nen, they could further enhance their already powerful bodies, reaching a level unattainable by humans—in simple terms, becoming like a steel plate.
The ruler roared, infusing his voice with nen, easily shattering the flashlight. The soundwave was powerful enough to shatter an ordinary person's heart upon contact.
Tonpa had nen protecting his body and wasn't harmed, but he was still terrified. If it weren't for the sea route training over the past few weeks, he might have already collapsed.
Luo calmly watched the ruler's intimidating display. He gently stroked the trembling Bruna, who was glowing with a deep green light, and softly said, "Don't be afraid, I won't let them hurt you."
The moment the ruler roared, Luo immediately shielded Bruna with nen. Otherwise, with Bruna's physical strength, she would have been shattered by the soundwave.
Bruna remained silent, her deep green glow indicating she was in extreme fear.
"Biscuit," Luo looked at Biscuit.
"Understood, be careful," Biscuit nodded. She would stay behind to protect Tonpa and Bruna.
Luo handed the terrified Bruna to Biscuit and slowly approached the ruler, who was emanating a cold aura. As he walked, he summoned the True Master into his right hand.
A wisp of black smoke emerged from Luo's hand and transformed into a black cat, which perched on his shoulder.
"Even a small mosquito is meat," the black cat licked its paws. Human black pages would maximize the gains, but given the current situation, they could only use other creatures' black pages as substitutes to increase the nen limit.
Luo gazed at the ruler hidden in the shadows and calmly said, "Go ahead."
The black cat gleefully transformed into a shadow and darted into the darkness, growing to the size of a leopard, ready to unleash carnage.
At that moment, a nen circle surged ahead, bypassing its body and enveloping the nearby parasites outside the light's range.
Silent Sniper!
In the darkness, the heads of the parasites within the nen circle silently exploded into a mist of blood, instantly killing them.
The black cat halted and stood among the corpses, its outstretched paw frozen mid-strike.
It turned to look at the calm Luo approaching slowly, gritting its teeth. "You bastard!"
One moment Luo agreed, and the next, he snatched the kills, leaving not even the soup.
Luo ignored the black cat, his gaze like a sword piercing the ruler.
In just a few seconds, more parasites surged from the darkness, quickly devouring the corpses and occupying their original positions, swarming towards the black cat.
The black cat, now unconcerned about stealing kills, retreated. The sheer number of parasites was overwhelming, and it didn't want to waste too much nen.
Luo's swift and deadly assault caused the ruler's aura to pause momentarily. Realizing that Luo was targeting him, the ruler retreated, using his thick fish tail to bat away the parasites towards Luo like billiard balls.
"Trying to use your subordinates' lives to drain my nen?"
Luo immediately saw through the ruler's plan. He intended to expand his domain and crush the incoming parasites, but instead, he decided to kill only a small portion, breaking through a path.
He then bypassed the parasites, ignoring those on the ground, and pursued the continuously retreating ruler.
The black cat took this chance to collect kills, trying to eliminate the parasites with minimal cost.
The ruler realized that Luo was formidable and his subordinates' lives were cheap to exploit. Thus, he chose the safest strategy: using his subordinates' lives to exhaust Luo.
The sheer number of parasites severely hindered Luo's pursuit.
Each time Luo created a gap in the parasites' ranks, it was quickly filled. The rapid reproduction of these parasites was astonishing.
Despite this, Luo steadily closed in. The ruler, sensing the danger, adjusted his strategy, sending some subordinates towards Biscuit's position.
Luo smirked inwardly, finding this to his advantage.
Parasites feared strong light, but the ruler could overcome this. Still, he used the parasites as cannon fodder regardless of the light.
Hundreds of parasites swarmed towards Biscuit, who merely glanced up. Her keen mind quickly found a suitable path to evade or counter, protecting Bruna and Tonpa.
Despite holding Tonpa with one hand, Biscuit's formidable physical skills allowed her to crush the incoming parasites effortlessly.
Diverting a portion of the parasites lessened the obstacle for Luo, allowing him to close in on the ruler.
The ruler's attempt to distract Luo by attacking others only backfired.
Seeing Luo close in, the ruler no longer avoided the fight. He had used the cannon fodder tactic not because he was weak, but because it was the best choice.
Now, with no escape, he faced Luo head-on.
The ruler swung his claws, tearing through the air at a remarkable speed, like a black lightning bolt.
Luo narrowly avoided the strike, which shattered the rocky ground of the island.
As the ruler's claw struck empty air, he used his sturdy fish tail to attack Luo before he could counter.
The fish tail, over two meters in diameter, whipped towards Luo, coated in nen, creating a formidable force.
Luo's eyes narrowed. He expanded his one-meter domain, channeling most of his nen into the True Master blade.
The domain slowed the tail's approach. Luo stepped forward and swung his blade.
In the darkness, the blade flashed, severing the tail, followed by the ruler's roar.
The ruler couldn't believe his prized tail was so easily cut off. This meant his other body parts couldn't withstand this human's attack.
His thoughts raced, quickly turning into a desire to retreat.
However, the blade was faster. In his moment of distraction, it swiftly severed his hands.
With his tail and arms cut off, the ruler fought desperately but was eventually disemboweled by Luo.
If magical beasts could use nen, their greatest advantage in battle would be their defensive capabilities, often becoming so tough that nen users would despair.
However, before Luo's True Master, the ruler had to bow down.
