On the surface, Law had the advantage, even suppressing ruem.
However, Law was not shortsighted and possessed rich combat experience.
When ruem shifted to defense, Law understood clearly: if nothing changed, this battle would end with him exhausted and defeated.
ruem was extrely powerful. He had stronger physical fitness and Manifested Aura than the three Royal Guards. This was also his advantage over humans. But his disadvantage was also very obvious: he had no skills, techniques, and hadn't developed Nen Abilities.
In a sense, ruem's battle with Netero relied on his durability advantage, then beating the master with wild punches.
If Law's Manifested Aura could match ruem's... then ruem's advantage would cease to exist.
Law suddenly retreated, creating distance.
ruem, in defensive posture, calmly watched Law retreat without reaction.
After retreating a sufficient distance, Law suddenly withdrew Shin, returning it to the Kuro's space.
Seeing this, ripples stirred in ruem's calm eyes.
A weapon that could be materialized and withdrawn freely was a point requiring vigilance.
After withdrawing Shin, Law reached behind his back, retrieving the [Black Voice] antenna from the Kuro's space with a turn of his hand.
Autopilot Mode.
This was Law's trump card to defeat ruem. Using the automatic mode, he would erupt all his Potential Aura at once, forming Manifested Aura comparable to ruem's.
Thus, he could compress the battle ti, causing ruem's plans to fail.
Originally, Autopilot Mode had two conditions: one, losing consciousness, the other, fighting to the death.
But due to the Post-Mortem Nen enhancent, the ability effect remained, yet the 'losing consciousness' condition was removed, becoming a shell-like auto-pilot.
Moreover, if Autopilot Mode was adopted, after use, the [Black Voice] phone would shatter and disappear.
And this choice carried risk. Law had no idea how long the compressed burst of Aura could last… maybe five minutes, maybe three.
If he couldn't resolve ruem within this brief ti, he could only wait for death.
Law inserted the antenna into his lower back with a backhand motion, took out the phone, and activated Autopilot Mode.
"Auto-pilot Mode activated. Target selected..."
An imnse golden Aura suddenly erupted from Law's body. The rising air current produced out of nowhere pushed his hair upward.
The puddle under his feet, as if struck by a huge rock, was forcefully pushed away by the erupting aura. Rain falling from the sky couldn't even get close.
Seeing the dazzling, powerful Aura around Law, ruem slowly widened his eyes, showing astonishnt.
'What incredibly powerful life energy...'
However, ruem's first reaction wasn't gravity or vigilance, but a pure desire.
Perhaps he was picky, so he had no interest in the depleted Netero. But the current Law was practically the world's top delicacy.
'Yes, this human would absolutely be the most excellent al, no one could surpass him.'
'Must... eat him!'
ruem felt an indescribable appetite. The astonishnt in his eyes was filled with desire.
Before that terrifying Aura, he released an extrely strong malevolent Aura. His body surface seed enveloped in a purplish-black luster… an undisguised horrifying appetite!
'Treating as food?'
Seeing ruem's reaction, Law remained expressionless.
Enveloped in the imnse Aura, his eyes shone with golden light, like a god descending.
What a strange feeling. With this Aura wrapping around him, he felt omnipotent and fearless.
Rain, air, cold wind… with just a thought... seed under his control. The threat from ruem plumted to its lowest.
This was the terrifying aspect of Compulsory Manipulation-type abilities. When used on oneself, it could forcibly stimulate all potential power.
Using [Black Voice]'s Autopilot Mode for the first ti, also the last, Law almost beca intoxicated by his own power.
It was truly an indescribable feeling. With this power, it was as if the world was vast, yet any place was reachable.
Suddenly, Law thought of many forbidden zones in the Dark Continent.
'With this power, perhaps I could tread into those forbidden zones.'
'But this power was temporary and one-ti.'
Thinking this, regret was inevitable.
Law sighed softly, raised his hand to look at it, his gaze leaving ruem for the first ti.
After unleashing this power, Law felt ruem had truly beco an ant.
That perception might have been exaggerated by the erupted Aura, but Law believed he could crush ruem now.
Suddenly, Law casually waved his hand. A golden streak flashed through the rain curtain. Wind, rain, and air seed kneaded by invisible hands into a balloon, floating quietly before him.
The Domain halo slowly rippled outward. Originally a faint white line forming a circle, it now beca a conspicuous gold line. Moreover, gold patterns appeared on the hemispherical shell.
Seeing Law begin using his ability, ruem's heart shook, as if a bucket of cold water was poured on his rising desire.
An emotion never felt before rapidly spread within him.
It seed like... fear?
'I fear that power?'
Prominent veins bulged on the knuckles of ruem's right hand. Aura condensed like substance emitted a purplish-black light.
At that mont, the sphere imprisoning wind, rain, and air shot over at the speed of light.
ruem had no reaction. The sphere hit him, his entire body transforming into a streak of light, flying over a hundred ters in the blink of an eye, crashing heavily into a rocky mountain.
Boom!
The huge rocky mountain instantly collapsed.
ruem's figure shot out from the other side of the mountain, crashing into the next rocky mountain, collapsing several in a row before stopping.
He climbed out of the rubble pile, shaking his slightly dizzy head.
Air burst...
Using his body and Aura to withstand this attack, he analyzed the nature of that Nen Sphere: the main power ca from compressed air.
The impact force was so strong, yet ruem only felt slightly dizzy. This showed that only sharpness-type attacks could yield good results.
Standing in the pile of debris, ruem looked up at Law ahead, his expression slightly stunned.
In the rain curtain, only a fragntary shadow was darting, moving at an incredible speed. It was Law continuously using [Instant], moving his body in an unmanifested state, as if traveling in another space.
The distance of several hundred ters was covered in almost less than a few seconds.
ruem retreated madly backward, feeling shock and anger intertwined.
Shocked by the opponent's strength, angered by his own retreat.
Then, he saw an incredible scene.
Within the gold-patterned Domain where Law was, rain, air, rock fragnts, even the fierce wind, all ford countless tiny whirlpools, swirling within the Domain, circling around.
"You, don't fall too quickly."
Law said, raising his index finger slightly upward. The countless tiny whirlpools circling around him sward towards ruem like piranhas in the Amazon River.
Boom! Boom! Boom...!
The tiny whirlpools continuously hit ruem's body, making his body levitate, like clothes tossed into a washing machine, his form spinning wildly in mid-air above the original spot.
'ruem, within this limited ti, let thoroughly enjoy this power...'
Hide-and-Seek space.
Nique was drenched all over, as if fished out of water.
