Chapter 609 Razor Fell Silent Again

After flashing into position, Razor swung his palm toward 3D Hisoka's temple.

This palm strike would surely instantly destroy the human-shaped Nen Beast in front of him.

Moreover, when Razor made his move, he had already anticipated a countermeasure to deal with the shadow transformation of the Nen Beast.

In short, from the moment he launched that red Nen Sphere, 3D Hisoka's demise was a foregone conclusion.

So, what Razor was truly waiting for was actually the next response from the Manipulator hiding in the dark.

Even if the other party does not respond, Razor can directly destroy 3D Hisoka and will not lose anything.

Whoosh!

The palm sliced through the air with sharp force.

However, Razor's palm failed to hit 3D Hisoka's temple.

Because-

A shadow appeared behind Razor with precise timing, and immediately landed a palm strike on the left side of Razor's body.

Bang!

With a muffled thud, Razor's sturdy frame was sent flying sideways.

While in mid-air, Moses's appearance was reflected in Razor's partially narrowed eyes, but he was not surprised at all.

"So you finally came out. It seems that deliberately slowing down my speed and gave you the illusion that you could 'determine the outcome with one strike' paid off."

Adjusting his posture, Razor landed solidly on the sand, carving two deep grooves beneath his feet.

"But... you really are impressive."

Steadying his body, Razor slowly straightened up and looked at Moses with genuine appreciation.

In that brief clash just now-

He had used the terrain to expose 3D Hisoka's weakness, but Moses's quick response showed that he had noticed Razor's intention one step ahead of time and used the same trick to create an offensive opportunity.

Unfortunately, Razor's original intention was still to expel rather than defeat the invaders.

Therefore, the current result of forcing the Manipulator out into the open is exactly what he wants to see.

Moses turned sideways and looked at Razor who had landed and steadied himself, his eyes filled with calmness.

The shadow clone deployed in advance in the second stage of defense counterattack failed to hurt the opponent.

It's a double-layered trap...

That palm strike aiming to destroy 3D Hisoka was another setup.

Or rather-

In Razor's view, whether 3D Hisoka was destroyed or the situation shifted, the advantage remained firmly in his hands.

Such awareness explained his rapid, calculated reactions.

Moses recalled the moment of his palm strike.

It was obvious Razor had held back from the start, leaving himself enough leeway to counter even while feigning an opening.

'Tch.'

'For an Emitter known for brute force, you sure think a lot!'

Moses complained in his heart.

Razor looked at Moses standing next to 3D Hisoka and said with a smile: "If you'd come to the island through the proper channels, I'd have welcomed you. If possible, I wouldn't mind sparring with you again."

As he said this, he took out the Eliminate Card again.

However, Moses just looked at him in silence.

"That quiet stare of yours is making me a little nervous."

Seeing that Moses remained silent, Razor chuckled and shook his head, then he said seriously: "I hope to have a chance to see you appear in front of me as a 'player'. Games involve fighting too, you know. Well then... Eliminate, On."

As soon as he finished speaking, the card in his hand dissolved into golden light.

At the same time-

Two white circles of Aura appeared out of nowhere, enveloping 3D Hisoka and Moses.

Razor watched this scene calmly.

The next moment, the white circles of Aura shattered.

However-

3D Hisoka and Moses transformed into shadows and flattened onto the ground in perfect sync.

The golden light that suddenly appeared lost its target once again and could only dissipate powerlessly in mid-air.

"…"

Seeing this unexpected development, Razor's cheek twitched and he fell silent again.

…

As the golden light dissipated, it also meant that the third Eliminate had failed...

Moses's shadow clone and 3D Hisoka immediately returned to their original forms and appeared in front of Razor.

In a Nen Battle, judgment and the ability to anticipate are extremely important.

Some powerful Nen Users can even deduce an opponent's Nen Category from their subconscious habitual movements.

For example, Conjurers often unconsciously channel more Aura into their dominant hand...

Razor is a Nen User who has gone through countless life-and-death battles. His judgment and anticipation abilities in actual combat are naturally among the best.

That's why, before making a move just now, he had already anticipated various scenarios.

Therefore, with the initiative in hand, no matter how Moses responded, he was confident that he could expel Moses.

But what he didn't expect was that Moses had cut off the power and unplugged the network cable from the beginning...

This made him look a bit stupid.

'Something like this... happened before, didn't it? During that encounter with Ging...'

Razor thought silently in his heart, and then carefully looked at 3D Hisoka and Moses's shadow clone, who had transformed from shadow form back into physical form.

'Perfectly lifelike human-shaped Nen Beasts, with strength clearly above average...'

'It is already not easy to conjure one like this…'

'But I didn't expect that the other party could create two such Nen Beasts.'

'The other party is most likely a Conjurer.'

Razor came to this conclusion in a short moment.

If the second human-shaped Nen Beast had not appeared, he believed the other party would've leaned toward Emission as the primary and Manipulation as the secondary category.

After all, he could use the warning information given by Elena to clearly understand that the Nen User who controlled the Nen Beast was not on the island.

So-

Being able to maintain the Nen Beast at a long distance and ensure the accuracy of control, it usually pointed to being an Emitter.

But there is a second human-shaped Nen Beast with such a high degree of realism, which can only be achieved by Conjurer.

But this also reveals something else-

'Strong... and diligent.'

Razor realized that this Nen User, who had not yet appeared, had not only worked hard on his natural Nen Category, but had also spent a long time honing the other Nen Categories, which was truly admirable.

However…

'Since they refused to show themselves, I wouldn't hold back.'

Crack.

Razor twisted his neck and stretched his shoulders a few times, and his bones popped audibly.

"I can't remember the last time I went all out."
