That power seed to penetrate the entire system.
Nique's body was soaked with sweat. At this mont, his right eye no longer held an image, because when Law stirred up countless whirlpools, his little fox Nen Beast was crushed.
That was originally a Nen Beast created under specific rules, unseen by others, immune to any form of damage during the ability's activation.
But when Law erupted with that power, the rules seed broken.
When the little fox Nen Beast shattered and the ability vanished, Nique broke out in a cold sweat all over within a second.
"A monster, an utter monster!"
Nique put down his trembling left hand, then raised his equally trembling right hand, gently pressing it against his right eye.
A faint glow separated from his right eye, clinging to his index finger. Shortly after, it transford into a glass marble, inside which curled a tiny red fox.
All the images seen through [The Unseen Thing] were stored in this glass marble, like a film reel. Nique could edit, add effects, or even directly delete this image glass marble.
"It feels... like a hot potato."
Nique looked at the glass marble, gritted his teeth, and decided not to destroy it.
He was still soone else's fish on the chopping block. Whether this trump card was useful or not, he'd keep it for now. Perhaps it would co in handy later. Even if not, he could destroy it without anyone knowing.
Carefully putting away the glass marble, Nique collapsed to the ground as if drained of strength.
Now he couldn't spy on the situation of Law and ruem's battle, but he knew ruem was definitely finished.
Forcing his eyes shut, Nique tried to feign sleep.
But the images kept surfacing in his mind.
Law, enveloped in golden Aura, powerful as a god.
ruem, emitting a purplish-black luster, radiating a terrifying Aura.
It must be known that from the little fox Nen Beast's vantage point, he felt Law's intimidating presence up close and faced ruem's Aura filled with horrifying appetite head-on.
"Damn it."
Nique suddenly stretched out his hands, pressing hard on his head.
He didn't want to recall those images anymore, but they kept resurfacing shalessly, impossible to suppress.
'I'm absolutely, absolutely going to have nightmares...!'
Nique wailed inwardly.
Those highly impactful scenes clung like stubborn parasites, refusing to fade.
...
ruem was powerless to resist.
Vortexes of various natures pinned his body within a localized space.
The forces released by each vortex were endlessly varied, all squeezing onto ruem's body.
Constantly tumbling, the speed increasing.
The skin surface worn down by Netero's 100-Type Guanyin, like low-quality leather couch upholstery, first cracked, then was torn away in pieces.
It lasted about ten seconds. Then, ruem fell from the air, crashing to the ground.
Monts later, he stood up, swaying like a pendulum from side to side.
Compared to the physical damage, the dizziness was more severe.
Barely looking at Law, he suddenly felt pressure from all around, as if at the bottom of the ocean, ten thousand ters deep.
Law had covered ruem with his Domain, forming invisible air chains binding his body.
Before using Autopilot Mode, Law had to efficiently utilize every strand of Aura, so he dared not rashly use the Domain. But now was different.
The explosive increase in Manifested Aura freed him from worries.
Now, he could summon the White General while maintaining the Domain. If he wished, he could even use six different Nen Categories simultaneously.
And when using the Domain alone, its power, precision, and control achieved unimaginable growth.
"Orbital."
Law raised his index finger, whispering to himself.
Within the Domain, ruem's body lifted into the air, like a tennis ball, continuously ricocheting inside. Each bounce inflicted damage.
But this control lasted less than five seconds before ending, because ruem used a short burst to forcibly break free from the Domain's restraints.
After all, ruem's Manifested Aura wasn't weak either. Once finding the thod, breaking free from the Domain's restraints wasn't difficult.
ruem retreated swiftly. Bloodstains already marked several places on his body surface.
"What ability is that?"
His lack of knowledge regarding techniques and Nen Abilities finally made ruem realize a certain importance.
In his cognition, Netero's golden Guanyin was a realm beyond common reasoning. He believed it was unique. So after defeating Netero, he didn't dwell on it.
Then Law appeared before him, erupting with life energy not inferior to his own.
From that mont, the importance of techniques and skills manifested itself.
He didn't care before because he could overco ten techniques with sheer force. But when an enemy with exquisite skills also gained strength not inferior to his own...
"You can't escape."
Law opened his right hand, clenched it in the air.
Retreating ruem inexplicably flashed to in front of Law, still maintaining the retreating motion.
This bizarre and unclear phenonon made the knowledge-deficient ruem montarily stunned.
'I was clearly creating distance backward, how did I suddenly teleport forward?'
'Was this also an ability effect?'
After pulling ruem before him, a rusted blade flashed into Law's open palm. Then, he swung the blade forward.
An extre sense of crisis bombarded ruem's soul. In that instant, he lashed his tail against the ground, propelling his body backward.
Under normal circumstances, Law's slash would have missed. But now, with multiplied Aura Enhancent, his speed had also increased.
Swish!
It hit.
ruem's body flew backward, but the thick needle-like tail was severed.
'I... will die here?'
As he was sent flying, ruem saw Law take a step forward, then swing his blade again.
That rusted blade seed to vibrate with countless shadows, instantly slicing his tail into countless thin slices.
Swish!
ruem's feet scraped across the rocky ground, sliding backward, kicking up two wakes of water.
Next mont, he suddenly teleported to in front of Law again.
That was the pinnacle of Emission. ruem completely didn't understand the principle. But while forced to flash over, he raised his right arm and struck.
Law's body shifted to one side, evading the punch, then slashed at ruem's right shoulder.
A light sound rang once again.
ruem's astonishing defense was easily pierced by the rusted blade. His entire right arm was severed so effortlessly.
The absolute advantage in speed was vividly displayed at this mont.
'I will die here.'
A second ago, it was a questioning doubt. A second later, it was an unwilling self-affirmation.
The mont his arm was severed, ruem seed to see his own death. Then, the image of Komugi sitting before the Gungi board surfaced in his mind.
'How could I die here...'
'But, I am powerless to resist.'
The severed right arm followed the needle tail's fate, instantly sliced into thin pieces.
Next was the left leg, then the right leg.
Since his birth, ruem experienced for the first ti what it ant to be powerless.
Just like those human food offerings before him who had no resistance...
Only... at the rcy of others.
