"Arrow of the Kamikaze!"
A blue arrow formed by the wind shot out, courtesy of Manda, who swiftly joined the fray.
Ethan was acutely aware of the incoming blue arrow. With a swift motion, he extended a mass of silk threads from his palm.
"Arrow of Thread!"
The threads intertwined, and with potent Nen energy channeled through 'Zhou,' a silver-white arrow shot out in response.
Bang!
The silk-thread arrow and the wind-formed arrow collided, causing a wild dance of air currents and collapsing threads.
Ultimately, the thread arrow prevailed. Even as the threads unraveled, they maintained their form, scattering the kamikaze arrow and surging toward Manda with remaining force.
She dodged.
"Snort!"
Manda swiftly evaded the thread arrow, locking eyes with Ethan sharply. With a cold snort, she transformed her hand into a sword, unleashing a kamikaze blade several meters long.
"More than a Whip!"
More threads extended from Ethan's palm, forming an arm-thick whip, which lashed out like silver lightning.
Infused with powerful mental energy, the whip not only struck the kamikaze blade with force, splitting and nullifying it, but also swung with terrifying speed and sharpness toward Manda.
Chi chi chi...
The ground split into long cracks under the whip's force, but Manda hastily dodged aside as it struck.
"Kamikaze Bullet!"
After dodging, Manda launched wind bullets the size of footballs from her palms, targeting Ethan's position.
Retracting the whip, Ethan swung it rapidly, creating a crisscrossing defensive net before him.
Bang bang bang...
The wind bullets were intercepted and sliced by the whip, exploding in succession and agitating the air into a wild frenzy.
Despite the continuous barrage of wind bullets, Manda couldn't breach the whip's tight defense to reach Ethan.
However, Manda wasn't Ethan's only adversary.
As Ethan fended off Manda's assault, Jason and Paula advanced together.
"Wake it up for me!"
Jason charged toward a massive boulder, hefting it with bulging muscles and covering it with Nen energy to harden it like steel.
Boom!!!
With a powerful throw, Jason sent the boulder hurtling at Ethan like a cannonball, leaving a trail of whistling air in its wake.
Simultaneously, Paula circled around behind Ethan, her movement swift like a python, aiming a slash at Ethan's heel with her rapier.
Vivian wanted Ethan alive, so Paula carefully avoided vital points. However, 'alive' didn't mean unharmed, so crippling or disabling him was acceptable.
During her attack, Paula avoided Ethan's vitals, but she held nothing back.
"Helix Gun!"
In response to the incoming boulder, a high-speed rotating line gun erupted from the ground.
Boom!!!
Even with Nen energy reinforcing it, the massive boulder was obliterated by the spiral gun's overwhelming power.
Meanwhile, another spiral gun emerged beneath Paula as she slashed, aiming for her abdomen.
A chill raced up her spine.
Hearing the spiral gun break through the ground, Paula reacted like a startled cat, halting her attack and spinning to the side.
Poof!
Blood spurted.
Although Paula reacted swiftly, her proximity to the ground meant the spiral gun still grazed her waist, tearing flesh despite her Nen defense.
With a muffled groan, Paula fell awkwardly to the ground nearby. But she didn't dare linger; clutching her wounded waist, she sprang up and retreated swiftly.
The two spiral guns maintained their high-speed rotation, climbing over ten meters before diving—one targeting Paula as she retreated, the other heading for Jason.
"Smasher Cannon!"
Visible Nen energy surged from Jason's Aura Nodes, concentrating into his right fist. As the spiral gun approached, he roared and met it with a powerful punch.
Boom!!!
Jason's fist collided with the spiral gun's tip, unleashing a roaring shockwave that stripped a layer of soil, forming a deep pit several meters wide.
Jason's right arm bent under the force, and his feet sank into the dirt, carving two trenches as he slid backward.
Yet he didn't truly retreat. Stopping after a distance, he continued to roar, bursting with power, and shattered the spiral gun's threads.
Though Ethan could infuse his attacks with Nen energy, their strength depended on his manifestation energy.
The spiral gun that clashed with Jason couldn't sustain excessive Nen energy, yet its power was evident in forcing Jason back, though not enough to defeat him.
Elsewhere, facing the incoming spiral gun, Paula opted not to confront it directly like Jason.
Her waist injury and lack of Enhancer Nen made a head-on clash unwise.
She skillfully evaded the spiral gun.
Boom!
The spiral gun struck the ground at an angle, penetrating easily.
Paula dodged to one side, controlling her Nen to seal the wound on her waist and prevent further blood loss...
