Silva only felt that the characters on the book looked familiar, and Zeno's reaction clearly showed that he recognized those Chinese characters.
"God Hand."
Zeno clasped his hands behind his back and actually pronounced this term in Chinese Language. He quickly glanced at Silva and asked, "Conjurer?"
"Not sure." Silva replied, his eyes flickering slightly, "But this book was indeed conjured. Moreover, before conjuring this book, he also conjured a rusty sword."
"Is that so?" Zeno looked at Law, who is holding a severed hand, on the screen, 'Aside from the strange lack of bleeding, the cut was indeed smooth.'
He then said indifferently: "So, the arm was severed by that rusty blade?"
"Yes." Silva nodded.
"Can't we draw a conclusion yet?" Zeno asked.
"No, he has also used abilities that resemble Emission and Manipulation. And with just that rusty sword, he managed to break through his opponent's defense. It might be related to Enhancement-Type Ability, but we can't rule out the possibility that it's due to the unique properties of the conjured weapon." Silva explained.
In this battle, Law's abilities were too diverse. Coupled with his ability to instantly extinguish flames back then, it made it difficult for Silva to come to a clear conclusion.
"Oh?" Zeno raised an eyebrow and said in surprise: "Even with your insight and experience, you can't tell?"
The true terror of the Zoldyck Family in combat doesn't lie in their assassination techniques, nor their combat skills, nor even their mastery of Nen Abilities… it lies in their vast and seasoned experience!
Silva's experience, though still a step behind Zeno's, is extraordinary by normal standards. As long as he watched a battle between Nen Users as a bystander, it should not be difficult to judge the Nen types used in the battle.
"I can't tell." Silva admitted without hesitation.
Zeno was even more surprised. "Interesting. By the way... who is he?"
"…"
Silva was speechless for a moment, then said: "He's Law."
"Hmm..."
When Zeno heard it, he thought it sounded familiar. Fortunately, despite his age, his memory was still sharp, so he quickly recalled who Law was.
"Is this young man the one Illumi mentioned?"
"Yeah." Silva replied.
"Quite intriguing. No wonder Illumi brought him up specifically." Zeno mused, then asked, "Was the battle recorded?"
"Yes." Silva said.
"Let's watch it later." Zeno said, then walked over and sat down beside Silva, staring at the screen.
Silva glanced at Zeno. He knew that the reason his father was interested was probably because of those unknown characters.
"Being able to conjure two different items is truly rare. And those characters on the book..." Zeno's eyes were filled with curiosity.
Conjured items often originate from the user themselves, meaning that Law must be familiar with these characters, which is why they appeared on the book.
"Father." Silva looked at Zeno.
"It's the same language." Zeno knew what Silva wanted to ask and answered directly: "But it's not strange for an outsider to know this language."
After saying this, he turned his attention back to the screen.
Seeing this, Silva could only focused on the screen again. As for the characters, he had seen them in books collected by his grandfather, but he had never studied them seriously.
At this time, the audience in the venue had gradually fallen silent, looking at Law holding Atomu's severed arm with one hand, with varied expressions.
On the ring, Law activated his God Hand to continuously shave away Atomu's Aura.
He used one hand to shave away Atomu's Aura while holding the book in the other, waiting for Atomu's next decision.
To abandon the arm and preserve his life, or to risk everything and eventually be worn down by Law.
Choosing between an arm and one's life isn't something that requires much thought, but this wasn't just a matter of losing a few fingers, so it wasn't an easy decision to make.
This was what happened to Atomu. He hesitated for about five seconds, and as a result, Law managed to shave off a portion of his Aura.
In the end, Atomu stopped the Aura output on the severed arm, which meant that he had given up on his left arm.
Seeing the severed arm enter a state of Zetsu, Law didn't hesitate. He opened the book with one hand, and the pages automatically flipped to Atomu's page. He then slapped the book against the severed arm, instantly absorbing it into the page before dismissing the book.
His movements were concise and efficient. To the audience, it seemed as though the book and the severed arm had vanished the moment they made contact.
"You're done." Law looked at Atomu and said lightly.
Before the words could fully settle, a large amount of blood suddenly spurted out from Atomu's broken arm, causing some of the audience in the venue to exclaim in surprise.
'It's over.'
In the stands, Biscuit rested her chin on her hand, analyzing the situation, 'It had taken Law eighty moves to sever Atomu's left arm, and now it would only take about ten more to finish him off.'
On the ring, Atomu groaned softly, his face turned pale, and he contracted the muscles at the wound of his severed arm in an attempt to slow down the bleeding, while at the same time, he stepped back to create a greater distance.
'I need to stop the bleeding first...'
Atomu wanted to stop the bleeding as quickly as possible, but Law had no intention of letting him have his way. As Law dismissed the book, he summoned Shin from the flame tattoo, gripping it tightly as he charged toward Atomu.
"Damn it!"
Atomu's face turned ugly, and he felt a deep sense of crisis. With only his thumb and pinky remaining on his right hand, he tore off a piece of his clothing, intending to use it as a makeshift bandage to tighten around the wound.
However, Law swung Shin, sending three sharp waves of Aura toward him.
Atomu dodged left and right, narrowly avoiding the attacks, leaving a large 'Z'-shaped trail of blood on the stage. The blood continued to flow from his severed arm, after all, muscle contraction alone wasn't enough to stop the bleeding, and he needed the bandage for assistance.
Realizing that Law was trying to interfere with his attempt to stop the bleeding, Atomu, despite his anger, was helpless. He could only try his best to deal with him while finding the opportunity to stop the bleeding.
At this time, Law didn't get cocky or careless when he had the upper hand, but steadily pressed his advantage, making Atomu's situation increasingly dire.
Atomu left a large amount of blood on the ring, and then he finally managed to stop the bleeding with great pain.
At this time, his face had become much paler, and the arrogance in his previous cold face had long disappeared without a trace.
Before the fight, he had been confident that his various advantages would allow him to crush Law easily. However, he had never imagined he would end up in such a state.
His pale complexion was a sign of excessive blood loss, and with an arm missing, it was clear that Atomu had no chance of winning.
Law closed the distance, swinging his sword at Atomu. Despite his blood loss, Atomu still had some strength left to struggle, barely dodging the relentless strikes of the long, rusty sword.
That seemingly rust-covered blade was a weapon sharp enough to easily cut through his Nen Defense. If he was hit by it again, he would be completely finished.
The sharpness of Shin made Atomu, who had lost an arm, become timid and he no longer had the aggressive demeanor he had shown earlier.
Though his solid foundation reveals a profound feeling, Law's swordsmanship was average, so facing Atomu, who was still skilled in hand-to-hand combat, it wasn't enough to secure a quick victory.
However, in addition to swinging his sword, Law would occasionally add a punch or a kick, forcing Atomu to retreat step by step.
After taking several hits from Law during his defense, Atomu finally realized that if he continued like this, he would only die a slow death.
'I can't win.'
He gritted his teeth as he came to this conclusion.
Then, a fierce thought crossed his mind: 'Since I can't win, then even if I die, I'll take you with me!'
Limitations and Vows!
A sense of determination to die surged through Atomu, and at the same time, the Aura around his body suddenly exploded, creating a gust of wind that forced Law back!
