Run!
Almost in this instant, Brandon made the most correct choice in his life.
His figure burst backward!
But Aizen Riku's speed was even faster!
Godspeed (Gold)!
Thunder - Shave!
In rely an instant.
A streak of azure electrical arc flashed by.
Everyone even saw Aizen Riku sitting in place, yet in the blink of an eye, he had already appeared in front of Brandon.
So fast!
A simple drawing sword strike!
The mirror-smooth blade reflected Aizen's handso face, cleanly slicing through the air.
Leaving a perfect slash mark in the air!
Rip—
Like the crisp sound of paper being cut, under everyone's astonished gazes, the forr boss of teor City, District 1's Brandon, had his entire figure completely split open!
His face still retained a look of terror, his eyes wide open, seemingly in disbelief.
"Gulp..."
The other teor City elders below saw this scene before them, their eyeballs almost popping out. They couldn't help but gulp wildly, their hearts pounding violently.
Too strong!
This guy is absolutely a monster.
"Hm?"
Aizen Riku furrowed his brows slightly, because he was surprised to discover that the Brandon he had just killed actually turned into flas and dissipated.
Not bad.
Fire Clone!
Hehe, to actually use it in just that single instant, even deceiving his perception.
Looking out, he strikingly discovered a figure had appeared a hundred ters away, exactly the desperately fleeing Brandon.
At this mont, he had long lost his usual composure, his expression full of panic and terror.
Releasing so much fla earlier had almost completely exhausted his stamina, so even while fleeing now, he was panting heavily.
Moreover, within Brandon's incredibly terrified gaze, his pupils clearly reflected Riku's rapidly approaching figure!
Too fast!
Even he rely saw so afterimages flying rapidly, with threads of lightning rippling.
Does this guy... truly have no shortcomings at all?
Even up to now, he hadn't seen the opponent truly strike.
Yet even so, he had already been completely defeated.
"Don't kill !! I am a mber of the Troupe!!"
Brandon suddenly cried out loudly, cold sweat pouring down his entire body. He understood that if he didn't shout out loud right now, he would probably be decapitated instantly!
"Hm?"
Aizen Riku stopped his footsteps, looking with a slightly surprised gaze at the panting old guy before him.
"Troupe?"
"Yes, yes, yes, Lord! I am a subordinate of the Lords in the Phantom Troupe! If you kill , you will definitely offend the Phantom Troupe. They are all the top-tier wanted criminals in the world, with bounties in the tens of billions!"
"Of course, I am not threatening you, Lord. It's just that affecting your safety for soone like is truly not worth it."
Brandon's heart almost leaped out of his chest. Upon seeing Riku stop his movents, he hastily spilled all the information related to the Phantom Troupe like pouring beans.
Riku understood the general aning. This guy was just a puppet supported by the Troupe here.
Not only did he help the Troupe scout so talents with decent strength, but he also funneled most of the profits gained in this area to the Troupe.
To put it bluntly.
teor City was actually controlled behind the scenes by the Troupe, and Brandon was rely a rent collector on the surface.
Upon seeing Aizen Riku stop, Brandon's internal confidence seed to reignite.
As expected.
This guy feared the Troupe. After all, those guys were absolutely truly lawless existences, even possessing the strength to directly destroy a country.
Now they were being hunted by the whole world.
No matter who it is, they wouldn't want to provoke such troubleso guys, not to ntion the opponent is an entire team.
Compared to a guy like him with a ho base, they would be far more difficult to deal with.
"Lord... I see your strength is very good. If you are willing, I can recomnd you to the Lords of the Troupe!"
Brandon, with a face like old orange peel, squeezed out a smile to curry favor.
Phantom Troupe, huh...
As expected, even though those guys left here, they actually had inextricably linked relations with teor City.
No matter what, those guys were people who walked out from these ruins.
Moreover...
For him, the entire Spider Troupe was a very good mystery dungeon. If he could farm all those guys, his attributes and traits would absolutely skyrocket.
As for what this old idiot Brandon was thinking internally—that he feared the Spider Troupe—that was pure nonsense. He couldn't wait to directly see that group from the Spider Troupe.
It would be best if he could directly kill their leader, Chrollo.
Chrollo's trait could absorb other abilities. Of course, it was quite troubleso to use, completely incomparable to his own.
"Oh, how do you contact those guys? Give their contact information."
Aizen Riku smiled at this trembling old scher.
"L-Lord... this old man... no, no, no, I truly dare not hide it. I don't have the specific contact information for the Troupe. Instead, every half a year, their people will co here for a trip. I will hand over the relevant taxes of this area to them, thereby obtaining their protection."
Brandon spoke the truth.
"Is that so? Do you really have no other way to contact them? For example, a private phone number or letters or sothing like that."
Aizen Riku rubbed his chin and smiled.
"N-no, I absolutely dare not lie. There is no specific contact information for any Troupe Lord. You also know, those Lords are wanted criminals worldwide; it's impossible to leave such a thod."
Brandon explained, "But rest assured, when the ti cos, I will definitely highly recomnd you to them. With your strength, you will inevitably be able to join their team!"
"Oh... is that so! Then you don't have to live anymore."
Aizen Riku said with a smile.
What?
Old man Brandon thought he heard wrong. The smile on his face instantly vanished cleanly, like a whitewashed wall, turning deathly pale in a flash, devoid of any color.
"No—you can't treat like this! This old man is Brandon! The strongest in teor City!! Since I'm going to die! Then let's die together!"
Realizing he had been played, the old scher instantly entered an unprecedented state of fury. He was thoroughly desperate, because right now, it was fundantally impossible for him to be a match for this man before him.
The opponent far exceeded him in terms of defense, speed, and even the power of his sword strikes.
Continuing to fight would absolutely lead to a dead end.
So he had decided to perish together.
Old scher Brandon's body rapidly expanded like an inflating balloon, and the surrounding air temperature skyrocketed!
"Not good!!"
Erica's expression behind him changed drastically. She hastily shielded Lilian and pulled her to retreat.
Those other shot-callers also realized the terror of the situation.
They frantically fled in incomparable panic one by one.
"Hehe, ignorance is truly the greatest fear."
Aizen Riku shook his head and raised his hand.
Telekinesis!
Buzz~
A transparent sphere invisible to the naked eye directly wrapped around Brandon.
Boom—
Everyone watched in incomparable shock as Brandon exploded violently in front of Riku, like an incredibly blazing fireball, or a burning sun.
Yet no terrifying high temperature was released. They only saw that blinding light, which even directly engulfed Riku.
But as vision gradually returned to normal.
Everyone's expressions beca incredibly horrified.
Riku was still standing in place. His right arm had disappeared, and there were massive burn marks on his body, his clothes scorched.
"Lord—"
Erica exclaid.
For the first ti, color surfaced in Lilian's hollow eyes, and she rushed over desperately.
"Aha!?"
"That... that idiot was blown to death by the old scher!"
"Great! Truly great! I didn't expect such a good ending. Today must be my lucky day."
"Hahaha! From now on, this teor City is ours to command."
"Truly too stupid, to actually forcefully take this old scher's self-destruction head-on!! Hahahaha!"
...
Seeing this scene, a few of those elder shot-callers had already begun to laugh wildly in incomparable excitent. They never dread it would be an ending where both sides died.
It was simply too perfect!
Brandon kicked the bucket, Angry Bear Knox died, and this extraterrestrial demon also died here.
teor City was still theirs to command, and from now on, everyone's territory would expand several tis over.
This was absolutely a lucky day for them.
But there were still a few shot-callers who didn't dare speak loudly, fearing they might startle the heavenly being. They just stared fixedly in Riku's direction.
Their hearts beating with uncertainty.
Because having taken self-destruction damage of this magnitude, logically speaking, he should be dead. But the opponent was still standing in place. It was just that his right arm had completely disappeared, and one could even see the scorched bone fragnts. Even half of his cheek was burned.
"Lord!!!"
Erica was frightened out of her wits. She understood that once Aizen Riku died, the next to die would absolutely be her, without any exception.
She could only say Brandon's self-destruction was truly astonishing!
"Huu—"
Aizen Riku, standing in place, exhaled a long breath of foul air. His gaze remained incredibly calm, as if the pain he suffered on his body wasn't enough to move him in the slightest.
Normally... Riku naturally wouldn't feel any pain.
This was f*cking a Nen Beast constructed from lightning by him!
It was just that because his strength was too strong now, even the lightning inside the body was perfectly repaired!
But in reality...
Riku was in imnse pain...
Because he had switched to his main body at the very end when killing the opponent. Only then could he activate the system's plunder function the instant he killed the opponent.
Moreover... mainly, he wanted to personally experience the power of this suicide bomber truck head-on, so he specially ca over.
And he didn't activate any defensive effects at all, completely taking it with his physical body.
If he had activated effects like Iron-Plated Tank (Gold) or enhanced defense, flas of this level wouldn't have been able to break his defense at all.
But doing that would have lacked challenge.
"It still hurts a bit, but the harvest is also very bountiful!"
Riku took a deep breath. His alias, Aizen, showed no expression, because Aizen's expression was constructed of Lightning Nen, equivalent to a mask.
His right arm had indeed been blown off.
However...
That clearly severed arm was actually rapidly repairing itself at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Muscles and bones were growing automatically.
Including the burns on his face.
True High-Speed Regeneration (Gold)!
It was truly very powerful.
As long as it wasn't a fatal injury like the head being instantly pierced or the entire brain being instantly destroyed, any other injuries could be recovered by consuming his own stamina.
Only a few short breaths had passed. Amidst everyone's dumbfounded expressions, Aizen Riku's injuries had completely recovered. They even saw with their own eyes that the opponent's severed arm, heavily injured chest, and skin burns were all rapidly repaired perfectly.
And the key point was.
This old scher Brandon truly gave him a very nice surprise.
[Ding! You killed teor City's First Elder, Brandon, automatically plundering opponent's traits]
[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining [Manipulation Nen] (Gold), [Fire Nen] (Gold)]
[Ding! [Lucky Star] (Gold) trait activated, forcefully designating plundered trait — [Fire Nen Clone] (Purple)]
[Ding! You possess [Manipulation Type] Double Purple, currently [Manipulation Type] Gold Double Purple Blue]
[Ding! You possess [Lightning Nen Beast] (Red) and [Nen Clone Technique] (Gold) abilities, [Fire Clone] (Purple) automatically fused]
[Ding! Congratulations on comprehending brand new skill [Minor Five Elents Clone] (Gold), currently lit (Lightning, Fire)]
A voice like heavenly music rang out in Riku's mind.
As he swept through these mobs and bosses in this area over these days, Riku discovered a special thod to use his [Lucky Star] trait.
That is, this talent is a post-activation talent.
It can be designated after the 10% automatic copy chance is triggered upon defeating an opponent, or after the random plunder effect is activated upon killing an opponent.
This ensures to the greatest extent that all the traits he needs can be dropped.
Perfect!
"Uh... truly not bad! A massive harvest! Manipulation type pulled directly to Gold! And I actually comprehended my own skill, Minor Five Elents Clone Technique!"
Riku was sowhat surprised internally, and then shockingly discovered a continuous stream of relevant information automatically integrating into his mind.
Although the Fire Clone ability was Purple, in the instant this old man fled just now, it actually managed to deceive even him.
Now it had even advanced to a Gold trait, becoming the Minor Five Elents Clone Technique.
For him, this could absolutely be considered a very good skill.
As for what the specific effect would be when used, he still needed a little ti and space to figure it out. It naturally wasn't convenient to do so in a place like this now.
This sudden scene left Erica and Lilian completely dumbfounded. Neither of the won expected that Riku, who was clearly almost dead, actually resurrected.
Besides missing his top and revealing his sturdy, muscled chest, not the slightest wound could be seen.
Even the scorched hair had returned to its original state!
Erica trembled all over as she watched, climaxing on the spot.
"M... monster!!"
"Oh my god! Am I dreaming?"
"This... is this guy really human? This kind of injury can actually recover."
...
The shot-callers who saw this scene were incredibly terrified one by one. Unprecedented fear enveloped the hearts of everyone present. Almost without thinking, they frantically fled.
Because they thought Riku was dead just now and prepared to betray him, and what they said had inevitably been heard by the opponent. If they didn't run now, when would they?
"Making the wrong choice often requires paying a very heavy price. Regrettably, you will be eliminated by this era."
Aizen Riku shook his head in disappointnt and pointed his finger toward those fleeing guys.
In an instant.
Imitation Kido - Byakurai!
Thunderbolts as thick as water buckets surged out, glaring and dazzling, seemingly landing on the hearts of every person present.
Accompanied by the miserable screams of those betrayers right before their deaths.
