"No one in this world can use Armant Haki.
But Nen abilities can't be absolutely unbeatable.
As long as sothing exists, there will always be a way to counter it.
Nen is fair."
Eli charged toward Ron and Wendy, his entire figure turning into a mass of flas. Faced with attacks from Wendy and Ron, he neither dodged nor blocked; neither attack truly threatened him.
"Fire Fist!"
With a blazing fist, Eli struck at Ron.
In Eli's mind, Ron was the priority target. First, Ron was stronger than Wendy. Second, Ron was a Nen Beast–type user. Generally, when soone uses Nen Beasts, their actual body tends to be sowhat weaker.
Ron's figure flickered.
"Ghost Step!"
In the next instant, Ron appeared off to the side. What Eli struck was rely Ron's afterimage; his Fire Fist hit nothing but air, piercing through the illusion and crashing down onto the ground.
Boom!
Flas burst forth, scattering in all directions.
Hanma Baki charged back in, delivering a fierce punch at Eli. But it passed right through Eli's body. anwhile, Eli's fist landed precisely on Hanma Baki.
"Simply coating my fist with aura can't hurt this guy.
That leaves two thods.
One: exploit a property weakness.
He's turned into fire, so we can use water to attack. Water can extinguish fla.
Two: force attrition.
This ability that turns him into fire can't be passive; it must consu a large amount of aura. He can't maintain it forever."
Ron glanced around.
They were on open ground with no water source. That left only the second approach.
"Wendy, drag this out!"
Wendy nodded. She'd arrived at the sa conclusion.
"Ron, buy so ti."
"Got it."
At Ron's command, Akutagawa Ryuunosuke and Hanma Baki both lunged at Eli.
"Jaw!"
"Whip Strike!"
Even if they couldn't harm Eli in his fla form, they could at least occupy him for a bit.
Two whirlwinds swept around Ron and Wendy. The next mont, both of them shot into the air. By the ti Eli noticed, Ron and Wendy were already hundreds of ters high.
A cluster of aura erged from Ron's body, heading toward the injuries on Hanma Baki to repair them. At the sa ti, Ron raised his finger, aiming at Eli below.
"Nen Bullet!"
But he wasn't firing at Eli himself; instead, he targeted the fireballs Eli hurled skyward.
Boom!
The Nen Bullet clashed with the flas in midair, exploding.
Akutagawa Ryuunosuke and Hanma Baki continued to tangle with Eli. Neither launched a frenzied assault; they were rely stalling. Since this was a battle of endurance, they aid to expend a little aura themselves in exchange for forcing Eli to spend much more.
Eli looked up at Ron and Wendy hovering above.
"They can even do that?
But do they think I can't hit them just because they went higher?"
He bent his knees.
The next mont, he sprang upward, flas blazing behind him for extra propulsion.
"Nen Bullet!"
Ron raised his hand, firing at Eli's position. On the other side, Wendy attacked Eli as well.
"Wind Blade!"
Their attacks quickly landed on Eli—
But—
"Useless!" Eli snorted. "I told you, I am fire. Attacks like these can't hurt at all. Stop wasting your energy and surrender!
I can stay aloft just fine in this form.
Your abilities can't affect .
I already know you're trying to wear down, but you underestimate !"
Eli's altitude surpassed Ron and Wendy's, letting him look down and prepare to strike whenever he wished.
However—
Slap!
A sudden sound.
Hanma Baki clapped both hands.
In the next instant, Baki and Eli swapped places.
Eli had just been about to swing his fist when he realized he was back on the ground.
Boom!
His punch slamd into the earth, carving out a huge crater. Quickly lifting his head, he spotted Hanma Baki in midair.
"Spatial ability?" Eli narrowed his eyes slightly. "Your skills are pretty varied. But when faced with absolute strength, no amount of fancy tricks matters."
He bent his knees again. But each ti Eli rose to the sa height as Ron and Wendy, ready to strike—
Slap!
Hanma Baki clapped his hands again, swapping positions once more.
Wendy gathered aura into her palms. A vortex of wind enveloped Eli.
Together, Ron and Wendy confined Eli to the ground, preventing him from reaching them in the sky.
Eli's expression darkened as he glared up at Ron and Wendy overhead.
"You brats! Don't get carried away! You really think two C-rank Nen users can stop ? Fine, then—I'll just use up a bit more aura!
Tonight, you die!"
"Ren!"
A surging aura flared around Eli, building higher and higher, until it could rise no more.
"Die!"
A low roar burst from Eli's throat.
Boom!
The flas on Eli's body blazed fiercely, spreading outward and expanding.
A gigantic column of fla shot into the sky, dozens of ters wide.
Even more frightening was its height—soaring upward at incredible speed, higher and higher still.
