Days passed by, and just as Machi and the others reached the 200th floor, Law finally faced his second match.
Even though he had chosen to be available for a match at any ti, it took so many days before he was paired with an opponent. It was unclear how long it would take for him to secure ten victories.
It was good news that he had t an opponent today. Another good news was that Uvogin and Nobunaga had already reached the 200th floor and were obviously targeting him.
Thus, securing two victories from Uvogin and Nobunaga was practically a done deal.
This wasn't Law looking down on Uvogin and Nobunaga, but rather, the gap between them was real.
Of course, Nen Abilities could be bizarre and unpredictable, and when applied in combat with the right terrain and other factors, they could produce unexpected results. However, Law knew Uvogin and Nobunaga's abilities well, so this advantage no longer existed.
Ever since Law decisively defeated Sandy, the local audience at Heavens Arena had been eagerly anticipating his second match. Today, they finally got what they were waiting for.
This match wasn't as grand as the previous one, but the organizers had cleared out the largest venue for it. Despite this, the venue was packed to the brim even before the match began.
Sanbica and the others had learned about the match details from Law beforehand, so they managed to get tickets early and arrived at the venue to watch.
"The odds are really out of control." Biscuit sighed regretfully.
Hearing this, Sanbica glanced at her, and thought to herself, 'It might be better if she earned less. That way, she wouldn't keep buying those occasionally sexy outfits and basically useless costics.'
This ti, the odds were overwhelmingly in Law's favor. Even though his opponent had already secured seven victories, the majority of the audience was rooting for Law.
Uvogin and Nobunaga had just reached the 200th floor, and they planned to fight Law in the next few days. Today's match was crucial for them, as they could use it to gauge how much stronger Law had beco over the past year.
'Let see how much stronger you've beco this year!' Uvogin thought to himself.
Uvogin had been deeply shaken by Biscuit's overwhelming strength, but he had managed to pull himself together by constantly reminding himself of Biscuit's identity.
Inside the venue, the audience eagerly awaited Law's entrance, and the atmosphere was filled with excitent.
Before the fighters entered, the comntator gave a brief introduction of the competitors.
"Rester, currently with seven victories and no losses, is just three wins away from earning the right to challenge a Floor Master. If he wants to advance further, he'll have to defeat the recently popular Law!"
"Next, let's welco Rester!"
Amid the comntator's enthusiastic voice, a figure clad in a black cloak and wearing a black mask stepped onto the stage.
Because of the mask, the audience couldn't see the solemn expression on Rester's face.
If he had a choice, he wouldn't have wanted to face Law. After all, despite repeatedly reviewing the footage of Law's previous matches, he still couldn't figure out the true nature of Law's Nen Abilities.
"Now, let's welco Law!"
As soon as the announcent was made, the audience erupted in cheers, and the deafening roar seed to blow the roof off.
The stark contrast in treatnt, akin to a ho and away ga, didn't seem to affect Rester's mindset.
Law walked out from the opposite entrance and stepped onto the ring.
Today, he was wearing a black casual outfit, the sa one Biscuit had bought for him. Coincidentally, Rester was also dressed entirely in black.
After the referee confird that the distance between the two was 100 ters, he gave the usual instructions and then signaled for the match to begin.
The mont the match started, Law stood still, with his Aura swirling around him.
He knew nothing about Rester, so he didn't make the first move.
Riser wasn't a close-combat fighter, so he also stood still. At this ti, he pulled out a black 'V'-shaped throwing dart from under his large cloak. The dart had a row of tiny holes along its edge.
'A throwing dart?' Law observed the dart Rester had pulled out and keenly noticed the small holes along its edge.
After Rester took out the dart, he raised his hand and hurled it with force.
The dart, infused with Rester's Aura, spun rapidly as it shot toward Law.
'It's very fast, but at this level, I can handle it directly.'
Law quickly assessed the situation and decided to neutralize one of Rester's attack thods. However, just as the spinning dart was about to reach him, it suddenly veered upward, soaring into the air.
"Huh?"
Law looked up with his eyes slightly fixed, and saw dozens of sharp rays shooting out from the tiny holes of the dart. They rained down chaotically, aiming to envelop Law.
'It's Aura.'
In an instant, Law understood the attack. Instead of retreating, he moved forward, dodging the barrage of Aura Needles.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The stone slab where Law had been standing was now riddled with small holes from the Aura Needles.
The dart had flown upward and forward, so retreating would have kept him within the range of the needles. Moving forward was the only way to avoid them.
And as for the dart...
Law glanced back and saw, just as he thought, the dart was circling in the air and was about to strike again.
At the sa ti, he took two actions. First, he flicked a small Nen Bullet toward the dart with his finger. Second, he infused his right foot with Aura and stomped on the stone floor in front of him, causing a stone slab to rise and stand upright like a shield.
When the dart shot out dozens of Aura Needles, Law imdiately categorized Rester's Nen Ability as Emission. At the sa ti, based on his understanding of throwing darts, he knew the dart was likely to return for another attack.
So, with that in mind, he prepared to intercept the dart the mont it turned back. At the sa ti, suspecting Rester was an Emitter, he covered the stone slab with Aura and positioned it in front of him as a shield.
This precaution might have been a waste of Aura, but it was necessary.
The mont Law shifted his gaze, Rester imdiately unleashed an attack he had been preparing.
The dart had a two-stage attack, but its main purpose was to draw Law's attention, creating an opening for a third attack.
This was Rester's plan, and Law's reaction was exactly what he had anticipated.
However, Rester hadn't expected Law to be so prepared, and the barrage of Aura Needles was blocked by the Aura-infused stone slab.
At the sa ti, the returning dart was shattered by Law's Nen Bullet.
This three-stage attack, which Rester had prepared in advance, relied on the pincer effect of the front and rear assaults. But Law dismantled it completely.
It was the first ti that Reiser used the dart to create this long-range pincer attack in the ring, but Law seed to know exactly what to do. The mont Law shifted his gaze, he simultaneously countered both the frontal and rear attacks.
Using both his hands and feet to manipulate his Aura, Law's movents were fluid and precise, showcasing his refined control.
After blocking Rester's Emission-Type attack with the stone slab, Law quickly placed his hand on the upright slab. Without a sound, the slab shot toward Rester, with Law following closely behind, using the slab to obscure Rester's line of sight.
The slab was flying upright, which increased air resistance, but after Law injected his Aura into it, it moved at a decent speed. While not as fast as Rester's Aura Needles, it was fast enough.
Rester saw the slab flying toward him and most of its mass leaning to the left, so to dodge it more easily, he moved to the right.
However, when he moved to the right to dodge the stone slab, Law was already waiting for him.
Seeing Law suddenly appear in front of him, Rester's eyes widened in shock. He hadn't expected Law to be so fast. Before he could react, Law's fist slamd into his temple.
Bang!
Rester's body was sent flying to the side, and he lost consciousness before he even hit the ground.
The upright flying slab had blocked Rester's line of sight, but it had also blocked Law's.
In that situation, Law couldn't see Rester's movents. However, he was certain Rester would dodge to the right, because he had deliberately angled the slab's flight path to the left. This made it easier for Rester to dodge to the right.
However, he was not sure whether Reiser would dodge to the right. So even if Reiser did not dodge to the right, Law still had a follow-up plan.
The referee quickly confird that Rester was unconscious and signaled that Law had won the match by knockout.
It was over so quickly... The entire fight had lasted less than five seconds.
From start to finish, the female comntator had only managed to say, "Riser threw a dart." and in the blink of an eye, Rester was knocked down by Law's punch.
