Gourmet Hunter (HxH Fanfic)

The ground echoed with cries of despair.

Shabo had dodged the first attack, while Marshall's three Nen Bullets were mercilessly cut down again.

Kit had suppressed his Aura and tried his best to eliminate his presence.

Their last chance hinged on coordinating with Kit's Shadow Game. As long as the plan succeeds, victory would be theirs.

Law remained unaware of the Elders' schemes. Compared with the people lying on the ground, the Elders obviously posed a much greater threat.

He took a quick glance at the positions of the Elders and came to a basic conclusion.

Marshall, who was on top of a tall building, was clearly an Emitter. Judging by the power and speed of his Nen bullets, the threat was minimal and he could be dealt with last.

Shabo, who had charged directly at him earlier, was harder to pinpoint, but he is definitely a close-combat specialist.

It would be best to deal with him from a distance, though Law's swordsmanship could handle him even up close. So Shabo was not a significant concern.

The only thing he needs to worry about is... Kit, who has concealed his Aura and made no clear moves. He's like a venomous snake waiting for the moment to show its fangs.

'This person is likely the other party's reliance, the key to their victory?'

'Since he has suppressed his Aura, it should be possible to take him out with a single strike. I need to get rid of him first...'

After Law made the decision, he didn't reveal his intentions. Kit stood quite carefully, as if waiting for Shabo to tie him up.

Meanwhile, Shabo stood in place, trying to adjust his mindset.

Whoosh!

Once again, three Nen Bullets came flying from above.

Even though he knew that the Nen Bullets would be easily cut off by Law, Marshall did not stop throwing them. After all, it was the only thing he could do to contribute.

At this moment, Law finally made a move. He had no intention of giving his opponents time to regroup.

Since he had already decided who to deal with first, he chose to act proactively and force his opponents into exposing a flaw.

Although Law does not have much actual combat experience, he tended to overestimate his opponents and thus minimized potential risks.

He rushed towards Shabo, and when the Nen Bullets were approaching, he waved his arms and executed three simple, unembellished slashes. It was direct and efficient, with no wasted movement.

Slash!

Swinging and putting away his sword in one fluid motion, Law cut down the three Nen Bullets yet again.

After cutting off the Nen Bullets, Law glanced briefly toward Kit's location and then closed the distance between him and Shabo.

Flying Slash at medium and long distances is easy to dodge, but shortening the distance can reduce the chance of his attacks being dodged.

Seeing Law rushing towards him, Shabo neither dodged nor retreated. He secretly glanced at Kit's position, then suppressed his fear, and took the initiative to meet Law head-on.

That subtle glance did not escape Law's notice.

'I don't know what this guy's Nen Ability is, but...'

As he sped forward, Law silently calculated the positions of all three opponents, and at the same time, he took Marshall's Nen Bullets into consideration, to ensure that he could kill Kit with lightning speed.

The distance must be controlled accurately enough to kill Kit before he can use his Nen Ability!

When the distance between Law and Shabo was less than ten meters, he saw Kit finally move, stealthily circling around toward his back.

In that instant, their positions formed the points of a right triangle, and the three points were approaching each other, reducing the distance between each other.

The thin thread... passed through the needle hole at that moment.

Law raised his eyes slightly and abruptly stopped his charge. In that instant, he executed two actions simultaneously.

After cutting off Marshall's three Nen Bullets, he did not retract his raised arm immediately. Instead, he slashed at Shabo, who was rushing towards him, and a crescent-shaped Flying Slash flew towards Shabo.

'This time, I absolutely can't dodge!'

Upon seeing this, Shabo's face hardened with resolve, and Aura erupted from his body. He did not try to dodge, but instead crossed his arms in front of him and charged forward, directly into the oncoming Flying Slash.

After Law slashed with sword, he didn't even look at Shabo's reaction. Instead, he kicked his feet at the ground and rushed towards Kit, who was positioned at an angle, at the fastest speed.

"What?!"

Kit's face twisted in shock. He had been very cautious just now, waiting for the perfect moment to strike from close range. However, he didn't expect Law to suddenly target him, and at such a fast speed.

Not only was Kit caught off guard, but even Shabo and Marshall were bewildered.

Shaber was clearly closer to Law, and Law's initial charge had been directed at Shabo, so there was no reason for him to suddenly change his target and attack the farther Kit.

Kit's act of restraining his Aura could indeed reduce Law's sensitivity in the battle, but there were few targets to begin with, so this deliberate behavior only made Law's awareness of him increase.

'There's no time! Left or right? Can I dodge? As long as I can dodge, I can step on his shadow!'

Kit's pupils shrank. If he could successfully pin Law's shadow, the fight would end there!

Clinging to this hope, Kit desperately dodged to the left, an evasive action full of hope.

However, Law suddenly turned around and slashed accurately on Kit's temple.

Crack!

Kitt's head jerked sideways, his neck snapping with an audible crunch. Then his body was flung to the side, lifeless before he hit the ground.

Though rusty, Shin was simultaneously the sharpest and dullest weapon.

The sword that hit Kit's temple did not cut Kit's skin, but instead hit him like a hammer.

At the same time, the Flying Slash Law had sent toward Shabo earlier passed cleanly through his body before dissipating in the distance.

'I blocked it!'

Since he didn't feel anything wrong with his body, Shabo believed he had successfully withstood Law's Flying Slash.

But at this time, Law put away his sword, turned sideways and looked at Shabo, who kept his arms crossed, and asked in doubts: "You could've dodged that attack. Why take it head-on?"

Shabo looked at Law and said in a vicious voice: "My Nen Ability can make my body impervious to blades and bullets. Even..."

At this time, Shabo suddenly stopped talking in the middle of his speech. He slowly lowered his head, and looked at the sword scar that appeared from the left side of his chest to the right side of his waist.

"This… how is this possible…"

'I have clearly adjusted my emotions and can fearlessly block any harm.'

'In that state, I could even block bullets easily, so how could my body be cut in half so easily?'

Shabo's face contorted with disbelief, that was the shield he was so proud of...!

But just by releasing a Flying Slash, Law was able to break his shield!

But it was impossible for Shabo to know the answer, because Law would not be idle enough to explain his Nen Ability out loud.

Seeing this, Law shook his head slightly. As Shabo's upper body slid diagonally toward the ground, he stepped forward and unleashed several precise slashes, cutting Shabo into pieces as he passed by.

While the power of God Hand would not kill Shabo, but being cut into so many pieces had already rendered him useless.

With two Elders dispatched in rapid succession, Law turned his gaze to Marshall, who stood frozen in shock on the rooftop.

Why had Law been able to identify their decisive weakness so easily?

Marshall couldn't comprehend it. But even if he did, it wouldn't matter, as their abilities simply weren't in the same league.

Law didn't care about Marshall's thoughts and swung his sword diagonally in the air. The Flying Slash cut the house in half, causing the upper half of the building to slide forward.

Marshall, who was standing on the edge of the platform, tumble towards Law as the house slid down. As he fell, Marshall screamed wildly and hurled three final Nen Bullets at Law.

Faced with desperation, his heightened emotions unexpectedly boosted his Aura output, increasing the Nen Bullets' power by at least 50%.

However, Marshal's hope turned to despair as he watched Law casually cut the Nen Bullets with a few effortless slashes.

He didn't know if it was because of the sword or Law's Nen Ability, but it didn't matter anymore.

Law took a step forward, flipped his wrist, and struck Marshall, who was flying in the air, on the neck with the bottom of the sword's hilt.

Crack!

A stream of blood spurted out from the back of Marshall's neck, and his whole body flew backwards, then fell heavily to the ground. Writhing in agony, his trembling subsided as his eyes dimmed.

Law used the sword's hilt wrapped in Aura to smash his larynx, leaving him no chance of survival.

In less than a minute, Law took care of all the enemies. It was a quick victory.

Two Elders died, while the last one were still alive, but in mutilated form.

At this moment, Machi and the others had yet to finish dealing with their own enemies.

The three Elders were actually not weak. Neither Marshall's Nen Bullets nor Shabo's defense were easy to deal with. However, their opponent had been Law.

Even in death, they couldn't decipher what category Law belonged to, nor could they understand the true nature of his Nen Ability.
