The mont the black-and-white world collapsed, Law clearly felt that his ability to operate the obscure white smoke font had been restored.
At first, when he thought victory was within his grasp, the power displayed by the Post-Mortem Nen exceeded his expectations. It had gathered all its strength to form a Nen Field that sealed him in.
At that ti, he felt as if he had been locked inside an unopenable coffin, and whatever the Nen had done caused his white smoke font's ability to absorb grudges to slow down significantly.
In that situation, he needs to completely absorb the Nen in order to break free from the Nen Field, but because the absorption speed slows down, even with his Domain activated in resistance, he was in extre danger.
The worst outco would have been death, and the best result is that he consus a lot of his Potential Aura to eliminate the Post-Mortem Nen.
However, before the situation could play out, Black Cat that jumped out of his book saved him, devoured half of his Aura, and then effortlessly shattered Stargie's Nen Field...
Originally, Law thought it would take considerable effort to eliminate Stargie's Nen Field, but it was resolved so easily.
"See you later." After shattering the Nen Field, Black Cat left behind these words and transford into a streak of black light, attaching itself to Shin's rusty blade. It turned into a pitch-black scabbard adorned with silver fla patterns.
After a brief mont, as if feeling uncomfortable, it reverted from the conjured scabbard form back into black light and entered Law's right hand, leaving behind a silver fla-shaped tattoo on the back of his hand.
Before Law could think too much, the white smoke font began to absorb Stargie's Nen, which had lost her ability to resist, and the data breaking through 30% increased at a faster rate.
At the sa ti, the endlessly surging Nen Field in the hall began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This scene was quickly noticed by Biscuit, who imdiately looked confused. Atomu and the others were still engaged in battle, so they only paid a little attention to the Nen Field.
Being in the Nen Field, Law still didn't know what was happening outside. As he continued absorbing the Post-Mortem Nen, he still couldn't understand what Black Cat truly was and how it was connected to the Dark Continent?
Black Cat had erged from the book of God Hand. At the ti, Law had only seen its black pages flipping rapidly. By logic, it should have been his Nen Beast, but after witnessing Black Cat's actions, he imdiately ruled out that possibility.
'Could it really be a creature from the Dark Continent? But why would it appear in such a way?' Law pondered in silence, 'My understanding of the Dark Continent was too limited. If that black cat really ca from Dark Continent, then wouldn't that an God Hand was actually a passage to it?'
Law shook his head slightly. At this mont, the Post-Mortem Nen that was absorbed into his body were weaving fragnted images in his mind.
Law was not surprised by this. These fragnted images should be Stargie's mory before her death. He had encountered this situation when absorbing the Nen from ancient relics before.
However, this ti, it seed a little special. The mory fragnts were incomplete, missing large portions, and they were fewer in number.
Ultimately, since Black Cat consud half of his Aura, the result was that Law had effectively used that half to eliminate Stargie's Nen.
From this perspective, Black Cat had actually helped him. Given the previous situation, he didn't know how much more Aura he would have had to expend before his white smoke font could completely absorb Stargie's Nen.
'Furthermore… if Black Cat could consu my Aura, why did it spare Stargie's Nen? With its power to shatter the Nen Field, taking that 'piece of cake' shouldn't have been difficult. It almost felt like it was following so sort of rule.'
Law raised his right hand to eye level and, in the darkened vision, could clearly see the silver fla tattoo glowing faintly on the back of his hand.
"Forget it. No point overthinking for now." He muttered to himself.
Monts later, the pitch-black Nen Field inside the hall completely vanished, revealing Law standing tall.
After absorbing the Post-Mortem Nen, Law received a lot of mory fragnts and gained a deeper understanding of Stargie.
At the sa ti, his Nen Categories' data exceeded 35%, and his Potential Aura had significantly increased.
Fortunately, Black Cat did not eat up all of his Aura. If all of his Aura was swallowed, how would he have the capital to fight for the stone harp and the gemstone pendant?
"You are not dead." Biscuit stared at Law in surprise.
Hearing Biscuit's words, Law's face darkened, but he didn't bother explaining anything to her. Instead, he turned to assess the situation in the hall, and his brows furrowed slightly.
In the distance, Law could see Uncle Bill's headless corpse lay on the ground, with blood pooling around it. Not far in another direction, Aya had collapsed among a pile of rubble, her condition unknown. anwhile, Atomu and Luby were facing off against each other.
When Law looked over, he noticed that although Luby was unscathed, he was panting heavily. It was clear that his Aura and stamina were almost exhausted.
On the other hand, Atomu's breathing remained steady, showing he had the upper hand.
Seeing this, Law imdiately understood the situation, 'While I was being 'taken care of' by Stargie's Nen, Uncle Bill and the others must have tried to seize the stone harp and gemstone pendant, leading to a battle with Atomu.'
'The ti it took from being trapped inside the Nen Field to fully absorbing the Post-Mortem Nen was less than five minutes, but Uncle Bill and Aya had already fallen, and Luby was barely holding on.'
'I didn't notice him before... I didn't expect him to be this strong!' Law's gaze fell on Atomu's intimidating deanor, and a solemn look flashed across his eyes.
Biscuit approached and looked at him strangely.
'I originally thought he was dead, but he actually managed to get rid of such a troubleso Post-Mortem Nen. This kid's Nen Exorcism Ability is really powerful.'
However, Law quietly distanced himself and looked at Biscuit warily.
Seeing Law's reaction, Biscuit chuckled but could understand his caution. After all, Hunters would go to any lengths to obtain their desired prey. The body of Uncle Bill lying on the ground and Aya, whose life or death was unknown, were proof of this.
"If you're afraid, you still have ti to run," Biscuit suggested.
Law did not say anything. Even though Atomu had demonstrated overwhelming strength and he was aware of Biscuit's hidden power, there was no way he would run now.
Not only because of the Nen on the stone harp and the gem pendant, but also because there was sothing he had to do.
Seeing that Law was unmoved, Biscuit curled her lips and turned her attention back to the battle between Atomu and Luby. She knew that within ten seconds, Luby would collapse.
When the pitch-black Nen Field disappeared, Atomu no longer needed to stay on guard. He looked at Luby, who was panting, and sneered, "Your Nen is not bad, making you as slippery as an eel. But without offensive power, what's the point?"
As soon as he said this, he rushed towards the pale-faced Luby.
Atomu's speed, strength, and technique were overwhelming. If it weren't for Rhythm of Life, Luby wouldn't have lasted this long. But now, he was reaching his limit.
Despair crept into Luby's heart, but he refused to give up.
'A futile struggle…'
Atomu launched a relentless assault, and after seven or eight seconds, Luby was completely exhausted, revealing a fatal opening.
Seizing the mont, Atomu's large hand struck Luby's chest with a resounding crack. Luby was sent flying into the wall, coughing up blood before collapsing motionless on the ground.
After finishing off Luby, Antok glanced at Law and Biscuit, then walked toward the stone harp and Stargie's corpse.
"You can't beat him, so don't expect to get the treasure. Just run while you still can." Biscuit turned her head to look at the calm Law and suggested again.
Law remained silent. When he saw Atomu hoist Stargie's corpse onto his shoulder, he silently activated Ren and his whole body was filled with Aura.
"Idiot." Biscuit sighed helplessly upon seeing this.
"Hmm?"
Atomu turned to Law and said casually: "I only want these two things. You can take whatever's left."
"Leave Stargie here." Law replied.
