[Conjuration Nen - Blooming Sword Wheel] (Blue)!
Conjuration Type!
Nen is purely reliant on one's own developnt. The more techniques you understand, the more knowledge you possess, and the more talent you have, the more bizarre and varied the abilities you develop will naturally be.
So guys can even use Nen to create humans or other monsters and so on.
What Riku did was simply a basic imitation.
Applying nchi's Blooming Sword Wheel to coins.
If nchi were here to witness this scene, she would absolutely be dumbfounded, because the limit of her conjuration was eight swords, and even if swapped for coins, this number wouldn't change.
The effect of this kind of ability is determined by the user's own mastery over it.
But in Riku's hands, it instantly transford into hundreds of coins.
Clang clang clang clang!!!
The continuous sounds of coins colliding in the air jolted everyone awake.
These were clearly just conjured coins, yet they possessed physical substance alike.
He caught every single one of the opponent's coins, not letting a single one break through to him.
All the coins shot by Butler Gotoh plumted to the ground mid-air.
Clap clap clap clap~~
Gotoh couldn't help but applaud in admiration, "What astonishing technique! To possess such strength at your age is indeed worthy of seeing you in a new light. Then, I will get truly serious next. I hope I don't hurt you!"
"Of course, please be serious. I also really want to see your true coin technique, Mr. Butler."
Riku bowed slightly, very gentlemanly.
Towards this type of loyal hound person, he truly couldn't bear to let this guy just die like that.
Unfortunately, whether the other party would die or not was hard to say for sure.
But for now, he could change his strategy a bit.
Swish!
Gotoh attacked again.
This ti, he only flicked out a single coin, but the power and speed of this coin far exceeded all the previous ones. The ear-piercing sonic boom made it as terrifying as a sniper bullet.
But to everyone's surprise, Riku lightly flicked a coin as well, but what flew out wasn't a coin, but a playing card.
A playing card condensed from Nen.
[Super Copy] (Gold)!
This was the ability Riku copied after paying attention to the opponent's moves during his battle with Hisoka.
Sothing like a playing card only needed him to condense it with Nen.
Gotoh died to Hisoka's playing cards.
He himself had fought Hisoka and was very clear about that guy's fighting style. Although he wouldn't claim to understand it completely, he could at least imitate a good seventy or eighty percent of it.
Therefore, this ti, not only was he going to copy the opponent's traits, but he would also give this loyal hound-type butler an opportunity to do so prep work in advance.
At least when this guy's luck was poor and he encountered Hisoka again, he wouldn't be so caught off guard, having a certain understanding of Hisoka's attacks and fighting style.
Clang~~~
A deafening explosion.
Under everyone's astonished gazes, the incoming coin was actually forcefully sliced apart by the playing card.
It fell to the ground!
Gotoh's expression finally changed.
Before this, he only thought Riku was very talented in Nen, but his own Nen quality and total volu were surely better. After all, he had cultivated for decades; how could he not compare to a child?
But at this mont, he finally clearly realized that Riku's Nen ability probably surpassed his own not just in quality, but in quantity as well.
Slicing apart a physical object with sothing condensed from Nen!
This was absolutely not simple.
"You need to be careful! Mr. Gotoh, I am getting serious too!"
Riku said calmly.
[Super Copy] (Gold)!
[Conjuration Nen - Blooming Sword Wheel] (Blue)!
[Manipulation Nen Talent] (Double Purple)!
[Transmutation Nen Master] (Gold)!
In an instant.
A massive number of playing cards appeared in front of Riku. With a wave of his hand, these playing cards also shot toward Butler Gotoh like a torrential storm.
The situation instantly reversed!
Butler Gotoh, who was originally the absolute attacker, was now plunged into absolute passivity.
He had to fire coin after coin to block these playing cards, but the sheer number of these coins was truly astonishing.
And every angle was incredibly tricky.
However.
If it was rely tools like this, it wouldn't be enough to defeat him.
Just as this thought flashed through Butler Gotoh's mind...
Those playing cards that had fallen to the ground unexpectedly swirled back up again.
[Super Copy] (Gold)!
Bungee Gum!
Although this thing wasn't as well-executed as Hisoka's, he had at least copied the [Transmutation Nen Master] (Gold) trait from Hisoka!
He just hadn't obtained the corresponding Nen skills, that's all.
His control over Nen was equally ticulous. Using a pulling thod to make these playing cards counterattack again wasn't difficult!
As for the move Hisoka used to kill Gotoh, although Riku hadn't seen it with his own eyes, as a transmigrator, he had mories of it in his mind.
So he simply imitated it directly.
Swish—
A playing card flew back, almost grazing Gotoh's neck.
The battle ended!
"..."
The entire hall was incredibly quiet, everyone staring blankly at the scene before them.
A massive amount of shattered coins lay on the ground, their cut surfaces incredibly smooth.
Unimaginable!
These hard coins were actually forcefully sliced to pieces by playing cards. No, they were sliced to pieces by these suddenly appearing playing cards, made of who-knows-what.
At least Gon-kun and the others hadn't been exposed to Nen yet, let alone knowing about the existence of Transmutation Nen.
Dead silent.
Every single one of the male servants present was completely dumbfounded.
They were the ones who understood Butler Gotoh's strength best. At least in their minds, Gotoh was a true, powerful master.
In fact, before becoming the Zoldyck family's butler, this Butler Gotoh could be considered a quite famous powerhouse.
But now, this powerful existence, who was almost deed unbeatable in everyone's hearts, was defeated by this guy in front of them who looked like a brat.
If the opponent's playing card had been just a bit closer, it could have directly sliced open his carotid artery, severing Butler Gotoh's entire head.
He lost!
And he lost very thoroughly.
Gotoh's mind was also a blank slate at this mont. He clearly felt the burning pain coming from his neck.
If the opponent's playing card truly wanted to kill him, his head would probably be lying on the ground right now.
So strong!
This little guy's strength had far exceeded expectations.
[Ding! You defeated Butler Gotoh in a combat stance. 10% chance to automatically copy traits...]
[Ding! Trait copy successful]
[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining [Absolute Calm] (Purple). This trait is a subordinate trait of [Absolute Will] (Red), automatically fusing for you. The progress of the [Absolute Will] (Red) trait has slightly increased]
...
The system's notification chid in Riku's mind.
Ugh!
Sowhat disappointing.
But not entirely, at least his luck was quite solid now.
After all, defeating an opponent in this kind of ordinary combat stance only had a 10% chance to copy. Prior to this, he had successfully copied traits from Kikyo and Kalluto consecutively.
Even this Butler Gotoh was copied. It could be said to be quite powerful, without a single miss.
It seed he still had to find an opportunity to fight the big shots of this Zoldyck family this ti. If he could defeat them, that would be even better.
Of course, [Scarlet Eyes] (Red) was his trump card, and coupled with [Lightning Nen] (Red), he could instantly unleash a 10x multiplier in combat power.
Using a surprise attack to defeat Zeno or Silva wouldn't be bad!
His poor luck now was probably just saving up for a critical hit later!
"I... I lost. Thank you for holding back just now. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have the chance to stand here and speak with you all anymore."
Gotoh slowly stood up, looking toward Riku's direction with an incredibly solemn expression, and then bowed.
It wasn't just him; the other servants also lined up behind the butler, performing the sa action, bowing toward Riku's direction.
"No need to be polite. We agreed it was just a spar, so it was just a spar. Your abilities are also very impressive, Butler."
Riku waved his hand.
"Not at all. Compared to you, Sir, I am still very far behind. In the days to co, I will definitely continue to improve my skills! For Young Master Killua to have a friend like you, I am happy for him."
"Sir, actually, I was instructed to test you here. And to everyone else, you have all passed the test. The Zoldyck family welcos you!"
Butler Gotoh and the servants behind him made way, opening a path.
"Sir, I leave Young Master Killua in your care! Although I am the butler here, I am not clear about the family's view of you. I hope you and your friends will be absolutely careful. I wish you a smooth journey!"
"You just need to follow this path straight ahead to reach the family villa."
Butler Gotoh bowed again, speaking from the bottom of his heart.
"Don't worry, I understand your difficulties. Gon-kun, Leorio, Kurapika, let's go. Killua should be just up ahead."
Riku smiled faintly, calling out to Gon-kun and the others.
"Yay!! Killua, we are coming!!"
Gon-kun was instantly excited.
"I wonder what Killua's situation is right now? I hope he is still alright!"
"So we need to speed up, Killua might be suffering right now."
"Let's go, let's go!"
...
The few of them discussed as they walked quickly away.
Watching the departing backs of Riku and his group.
Butler Gotoh led the nurous servants, watching them leave until their backs completely disappeared from sight.
Only then did the bowing Butler Gotoh slowly straighten his back, pushing his black-rimd glasses up his nose.
"Lord Gotoh, this friend of Killua's is so amazing!"
"Yeah, he clearly looks like a child, yet he could even defeat you, Lord Butler."
"It must have been Lord Butler being careless just now. If they fought again, the outco would be uncertain."
"Of course, it must have been Lord Gotoh doing it on purpose, right? We all know you care very much for Young Master Killua, you absolutely wouldn't stop his friends."
...
The servants behind him discussed.
Gotoh, however, shook his head with a bitter smile, touching the wound on his neck, which still burned with a dull pain.
"You don't understand. That friend of Killua's is very strong... very strong, perhaps even stronger than the Eldest Young Master... I hope everything will be alright."
...
Inside the Zoldyck family castle.
Zeno Zoldyck, Silva Zoldyck, Illumi Zoldyck, Kikyo Zoldyck, Killua Zoldyck, and Milluki Zoldyck were all present here.
A group of people were watching the surveillance footage.
From this footage, they could clearly see the scene that had just occurred in the butler's villa.
Butler Gotoh, who was specifically arranged by them to test the strength of Riku's group, had lost.
"What... what are those playing cards!?"
Killua was dumbfounded.
He found that he understood Riku less and less. Even as Riku's friend, the abilities Riku displayed had already far exceeded his expectations.
"Conjuration Nen, and Manipulation Nen, and even Transmutation Nen... Killua, this friend of yours is truly an eye-opener. He performs exceptionally well in all three domains; it's even impossible to tell which one is his primary field."
Silva couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
Because Nen Awakeners usually only have one primary domain. They can cultivate other domains, but they will be much weaker.
Yet in the battle just now, the performance Riku displayed in all of them was incredibly robust.
The most critical issue was that Riku was only a teenager. Could it be that he awakened this ability and started cultivating in the womb?
This kind of talent was simply unbelievable.
The fat guy Milluki even broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.
He suddenly felt sowhat fortunate that he hadn't tortured this pitiful younger brother of his too much. After all, the friend of this younger brother who ca knocking was simply too terrifying.
Although he was of the direct lineage of the Zoldyck family, it didn't an he would stay on this mountain for his entire life. Many tis, he would go out into the other parts of the world. If he was targeted by this guy, the family's na probably wouldn't be of any use.
He might just be killed by this guy's playing cards.
Thank goodness, thank goodness!
At least for now, he could still be considered Killua's older brother. The relationship between the two sides seed like it could still be repaired.
Kikyo was even more dumbfounded.
She originally thought that during their initial encounter, the strength the other party displayed was already astonishing enough, perhaps even his full strength. But up until now, she realized she had vastly underestimated the other party.
For even a powerhouse like Gotoh to be easily defeated, it was simply unbelievable.
"Illumi, it seems you've brought us a huge problem."
Silva glanced at Illumi.
This reticent eldest son currently had a hollow look in his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking about. It took a full two or three seconds before he suddenly spoke, "The playing card ability he used just now is Hisoka's ability, including the manipulation of the playing cards just now, which is one of Hisoka's Nen abilities..."
"Given his age, he shouldn't have been able to develop this ability to such a degree, and he is even proficient in the sa techniques as Hisoka. During our first encounter, he didn't use this ability."
"Could I suspect that his true Nen ability is not any of those you ntioned."
"But... copy."
