After he finished his warm-up exercises, Razor once again condensed a deep red Nen Sphere on his palm as he speaks.
'No more expulsion, destruction it is...'
Razor narrowed his eyes and threw the Nen Sphere in his palm as usual, then he leaned his upper body backward to create a longer slingshot distance for his arm.
Then-
Razor swung his arms forward with all his might and slapped the hovering red Nen Sphere.
In an instant, the red Nen Sphere, warped by the force of Razor's slap, spun at an extreme speed, carving a sharp arc through the air as it shot toward the nearest Moses shadow clone.
This strike was faster and more ferocious than before!
However, the wind-up and swing still provided Moses enough reaction time.
He controlled the two shadow clones to dodge in opposite directions.
The flying red Nen Sphere zipped between them, slamming into the beach near the waves, where it detonated with a thunderous explosion, sending a torrent of sand and seawater skyward.
Seizing the moment, Razor repeated his earlier tactic, using the red Nen Sphere's assault as a feint, vanishing and instantly reappearing beside Moses's shadow clone who had just dodged.
Then, without any flourish, he threw a straightforward punch at the clone's face.
Moses's clone immediately crossed his arms to block Razor's straight punch.
Bang!
The fist collided with forearms, and a wave of air burst out.
Moses's shadow clone was knocked backward, sliding several feet across the sand.
'Such refined Ryu... To think this level of technique could be 'replicated' on a Nen beast…'
In that split second, Razor's thoughts raced.
After repelling Moses's clone, he did not retract his right fist. Instead, he twisted his body and swung his raised leg in a high roundhouse kick toward the side of the clone's face.
Moses's shadow clone struggled to stabilize itself. Though its raised arms obstructed its view, it could still see Razor's kick through 3D Hisoka's shared vision.
Immediately, Moses's shadow clone shifted its arms, adjusting its guard just in time.
However, Razor suddenly changed tactics!
He abruptly slammed his raised left leg down and leaned forward, thrusting his upper body ahead. At the same time, he bent his right knee and drove it upward in a powerful ascending knee strike aimed at the clone's chin.
The swift and brutal feint left little room to react, but luckily, the clone's other arm still had its lower elbow near its chest, allowing for a hasty defense.
But in the end, it was too rushed to fully block the blow...
Bang!
Crack!
Razor's sudden knee strike shattered the clone's arm bone, and the ensuing force launched Moses's shadow clone into the air.
However, Razor's attack didn't stop there, and a red Nen Sphere quickly condensed on his palm.
He tosses it up and smashed it!
The red Nen Sphere, gleaming with a dangerous light, shot upward toward the airborne clone, which had no foothold to dodge.
At this critical moment, another Nen Sphere flew in the air, trying to intercept the red Nen Sphere that Razor had launched mid-flight.
That was the Nen Sphere condensed and fired by 3D Hisoka!
Just now, when Razor threw the red Nen Sphere, Moses had already controlled 3D Hisoka to provide support.
Moses's original intention was to use this Nen Sphere to hit the shadow clone in the air, altering its position in midair.
However, the speed of the Nen Sphere wasn't enough to achieve that, so Moses had no choice but to change it to intercept Razor's red Nen Sphere instead.
Sstt!
The Nen Sphere blocked the trajectory of the red Nen Sphere… only to be obliterated upon contact.
The two are totally not on the same level.
The red Nen Sphere continued its deadly ascent toward Moses's shadow clone.
At this critical moment, Moses controlled the shadow clone to dissolve a large hole in its chest area.
The incoming red Nen Sphere cleanly through the hole and soared higher into the sky.
Razor raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this operation.
The red Nen Sphere that missed the target eventually detonated in midair, its sudden red glow flaring like a flare round, sweeping over land and sea before vanishing in a blink.
Meanwhile, 3D Hisoka circled around to Razor's rear, lunging at his back.
Noticing the approach, Razor once again condensed a red Nen Sphere in his palm, and then he continued to toss and smash the ball!
Whoosh!
The red Nen Sphere shot through the air towards 3D Hisoka, who was attempting to ambush Razor.
Faced with this terrifyingly powerful Emission-Type attack, 3D Hisoka had no choice but to halt and dodge, thus losing the opportunity for the ambush as another violent explosion rocked the area.
A gleam of light flashed across Razor's eyes, and he condensed a red Nen Sphere on his palm, toss it, and then raised his right arm...
But this time, his left palm was raised straight out, facing the sea.
A feint!
Razor did not smash the red Nen Sphere that was tossed into the air. Instead, another new red Nen Sphere was condensed in an instant on his outstretched left hand facing the sea.
There is no need for the step of tossing the Nen Sphere into the air, nor is there any noticeable accumulating power stance. The red Nen Sphere condensed on Razor's palm suddenly shoots towards the dark sea, leaving rippling air rings in its wake.
The target of this red Nen Sphere was the small lifeboat that Moses and Biscuit were riding on.
The red Nen Sphere sped over the sea, splitting the waves into two.
On the lifeboat…
Biscuit's pupils contracted sharply as she watched the powerful red Nen Sphere skim across the water toward them.
Moses was also slightly surprised, but he remained calm under pressure. He stood up, raised his right arm, and swung it in a rhythm that was neither fast nor slow, producing a series of afterimages.
The Aura flowing over his body abruptly retracted inward, then was instantly released.
During this process, his swinging arm conjured a black sword out of thin air, which he decisively slashed toward the incoming red Nen Sphere.
The moment the black sword's edge touched the surface of the red Nen Sphere-
All the Moses's Manifested Aura was concentrated on the black sword's edge.
Shhh!
The black sword slashed down.
The red Nen Sphere split cleanly in two, then each half veered off to the sides before crashing into the sea, erupting in twin towering splashes.
Aboard the not-yet-distant Purple Smoke-
Morel, Knuckle and Shoot saw the red Nen Sphere exploding in the air like a flare, and then saw Moses cutting the red Nen Sphere in half with a single strike. They all showed expressions of uncontrollable surprise.
'What is going on?'
'Who is Moses fighting?'
Morel, Knuckle and Shoot were shocked. Although they didn't know who Moses was fighting against, they could tell from the power displayed by the red Nen Sphere that his opponent was extremely formidable!
On the beach-
Razor ignored the two shadow clones in the field. One of his hands rested on his waist, while the other shielded his eyes as he watched the sea.
"He can still conjure a sword with that kind of strength... It's hard to imagine."
When Razor saw Moses use the conjured black sword to cut off the Nen Sphere, waves of emotion stirred within him.
When the light burst out, he could barely catch a glimpse of Moses's figure, and he could roughly confirm that the human-shaped Nen Beast was also created by Moses.
'Such mastery across multiple Nen Categories, combined with that remarkable technique… It is really hard to believe someone so young had reached this level.'
'He's seriously strong...'
Razor thought silently in his heart.
The red Nen Sphere he'd launched into the air earlier wasn't just for killing Moses's shadow clone, as it also served as illumination.
Although the Nen Sphere had failed to hit Moses's shadow clone in the end, it had lit up the surroundings, allowing Razor to confirm the specific location of the small lifeboat.
The toss and smash that he had repeated several times before weren't strictly necessary for him to attack...
Of course, it was related to Razor's own habits, but it was also to make the previous attack method of instantly launching the Nen Sphere with his left palm more unexpected.
Razor had thought that last shot would decisively take out the intruder.
Unfortunately, it got blocked...
On the lifeboat-
Biscuit looked towards the coastline and frowned, saying, "That guy is not simple."
"Yeah, I should head over now."
Moses casually dispelled the black sword and stared at the direction of the coastline.
Only after fighting him can Moses know...
That Razor wasn't just brute force… he was crafty, too.
But when it came to a battle of wits, Moses wasn't backing down.
