Although Ethan never subscribed to the personality judgment theory of Nen types, it was undeniable that many Enhancer Nen users were quite straightforward in their approach.
Jason was a prime example of this.
After a brief moment of shock, Jason charged at Ethan like a raging bull, acting on instinct rather than thought.
"Smash Cannon!"
With violent power and rapid speed, Jason closed in on Ethan, channeling his powerful Nen into his right fist and striking hard.
Ethan's eyes flicked to Jason with indifference, and his right arm became a blur, meeting Jason's fist with a powerful punch without any apparent effort.
Boom!!!
The clash unleashed terrifying power, tearing the surrounding air apart.
The ground beneath them collapsed under the violent impact, while an overwhelming force bore down on Jason's right fist.
Flesh and bone flew everywhere.
Jason's condensed Nen, as fragile as paper, was shattered, and his right fist and forearm were obliterated by Ethan's strike.
"Ah!!!"
Pain shot through Jason, twisting his face from ferocity to agony. He screamed and stumbled backward, disoriented.
Ethan pressed his advantage. After destroying Jason's arm, he transformed his right fist into a hand blade and slashed across Jason's neck.
Poof!
Like a flash of lightning, Jason's head flew from his shoulders.
The screams ceased abruptly, and Jason's headless body, blood spurting from its neck, crashed to the ground.
The 'Lifeline·Meridians' technique allowed Ethan to harness unparalleled power, enhancing strength, defense, and explosiveness through the constructed line meridians and flowing Nen energy.
Even though Ethan's development of this technique was still in its early stages, limited to his right arm, it granted him formidable power.
"Kamikaze Blade!"
A green wind blade, several meters long and capable of slicing through steel, was unleashed by Manda.
As Jason attacked, Manda swiftly activated her Nen, hoping to catch Ethan off guard.
However, she grossly underestimated Ethan's strength. Jason's swift demise allowed Ethan to intercept the cyan wind blade with the hand that had just decapitated Jason.
Chichichi...
The wind blade struck Ethan's palm but caused no harm. With an expressionless grip, Ethan crushed the wind blade effortlessly.
"How can it be!!!"
Realizing Jason's sudden death but witnessing her wind blade's destruction by Ethan, Manda's expression shifted drastically.
"The art of war is as difficult to know as darkness!"
ADVERTISEMENT
Ethan's cold gaze locked onto Manda, his body blurring as he moved.
In an instant, like a phantom, Ethan appeared before Manda, his right fist, etched with silver patterns, striking with immense force.
"Shield of Divine Wind!"
A chilling intuition surged through Manda. She retreated in horror, frantically channeling Nen to form a cyan wind shield.
!!!
Ethan's fist, brimming with power, shattered the blue shield like glass. The force carried through, catching Manda and impacting her face.
Like a bursting watermelon, Ethan's right fist obliterated Manda's head.
The fierce airflow generated by the punch sent her headless body flying, shattering the ground into a fan-shaped crater and kicking up a cloud of dust.
Double kill achieved.
Dispatching Manda, Ethan turned his cold gaze toward the last combatant, Paula.
What he saw was a figure desperately fleeing into the distance.
Indeed, Paula was running away.
As the farthest from Ethan, Paula was both fortunate and unfortunate.
Fortunate because Ethan dealt with Jason and Manda first.
Unfortunate because witnessing their deaths filled her with panic.
"How does he possess such power..."
Paula's mind screamed as she fled.
Jason and Manda's deaths demonstrated Ethan's overwhelming power.
The specter of death loomed over her, making her feel trapped in a nightmare.
But this was no dream; it was all too real.
As if racing through a disorienting, nightmarish landscape, Paula struggled to comprehend.
Even before using 'Lifeline·Meridians,' Ethan hadn't unleashed his full strength.
Now, fully exerting himself, Ethan's speed far exceeded what he displayed when baiting Manda, Jason, and Paula.
The distance closed rapidly.
Seeing Paula flee, Ethan became a blur, swiftly pursuing her with alarming speed.
In a short span, he closed the gap, catching up behind her.
"Ah!!!"
Realizing the pursuit from behind, Paula, desperate, spun around, attacking Ethan frantically with her rapier.
