There was no need for Kite to give any orders. The Crazy Slots is fully aware of the rapidly changing battle, and immediately rolled a new number.
[No. 6: Right-Angle Boomerang]
A large boomerang, which is about half a person's height, appeared in Kite's hand.
The moment the weapon switched, Kite, with the aid of his flowing Aura, hurled the boomerang at Pitou, who was descending from the air.
Swoosh-
The Right-Angle Boomerang flew from Kite's hand.
The edge of the boomerang produced a sharp Aura visible to the naked eye, and it was spinning at high speed as it sliced toward Pitou, who was in free fall.
"How interesting."
When Pitou saw Kite conjure up a third weapon, she didn't feel any sense of crisis. Instead, she found it quite fascinating.
In mid-air, she twisted her body like a skilled gymnast, flipping in the air to let the boomerang pass in front of her.
Pitou dodged the boomerang and landed on the ground safely.
The moment her feet touched the ground, she bent her knees, coiling like a spring, her eyes locked on the now unarmed Kite.
However, just before Pitou could charge at Kite, the boomerang she had dodged suddenly changed direction, tracing a graceful arc in the air as it aimed for the back of her head.
"Meow?"
Hearing the noise behind her, Pitou instantly switched from offense to defense, stomping her left foot on the ground and sidestepping to the right.
The returning boomerang flew past her.
Having dodged the boomerang's second attack, Pitou turned her gaze back to Kite.
As she focused her attention, the boomerang, which is still spinning rapidly in the air, flew straight toward Kite.
The next scene should have been Kite catching the boomerang and then deciding between launching another attack or switching weapons again.
This was Pitou's quick judgment, so her current thought was to charge at Kite along with the boomerang, so that she could seize the opportunity to attack when Kite needed to catch the boomerang.
Her eyes moved away from the boomerang and locked onto Kite in front of her.
But then, something unexpected happened.
The boomerang, which should have flown straight to Kite, suddenly changed direction mid-air, spinning rapidly toward Pitou again.
The characteristic of the No. 6 Weapon, Right-Angle Boomerang, is:
Pursuit!
Pitou's attention was now fully on Kite, and she was completely unaware that the boomerang would change direction again in such a state.
Thud!
The sharp corner of the boomerang, which had suddenly changed direction, struck Pitou's cheek with great force.
The sudden impact caused Pitou's upper body to tilt back slightly, and her feet dug two shallow grooves into the grass as she was pushed back several meters.
As she steadied herself, a shallow wound quietly appeared on her cheek where she was hit, resembling a thin red line drawn by a pen.
Meanwhile, the boomerang, having hit Pitou and rebounded into the air, didn't lose momentum. It continued to spin rapidly, as it's still powered by Kite's Aura.
However, after hitting its target, the boomerang didn't pursue further. Instead, it flew back into Kite's hand.
Kite caught the returning boomerang and looked at Pitou.
'She's truly... a monster among monsters.'
Kite's heart sank as he glanced at the small wound on Pitou's cheek.
'A direct hit, yet it only caused such a negligible injury...'
Kite's mind was heavy, but he chose not to dismiss the weapon. Instead, he held the boomerang horizontally, ready to throw it again.
Pitou met Kite's gaze, raised her finger and gently stroked the small wound on her cheek, and the corners of her mouth slowly curved up.
Having no knowledge of Nen Techniques or the Nen Ability System, she was now experiencing firsthand the 'fun' that abilities could bring.
"Anything else?"
She tilted her head slightly and asked in an inappropriately demanding tone.
Kite's eyes narrowed, and he swung his arm to throw out the Right-Angle Boomerang once more.
Swoosh-
The boomerang flew through the air toward Pitou.
However, this time, Pitou had no intention of dodging at all.
Because she had already confirmed the power of the boomerang when she was hit just now, and it could be said that it was so low that there was no need for her to dodge.
But what Pitou didn't expect was-
Kite's attack wasn't aimed at her this time.
Both sides knew the damage of the Right-Angle Boomerang is negligible.
And since Pitou could judge that dodging was unnecessary, Kite could also judge that attacking her with the boomerang again was pointless.
Thus-
The boomerang, which was flying through the air, suddenly dipped downward, slamming into the ground in front of Pitou.
Boom!
The ground exploded, grass and soil flying everywhere as a cloud of dust erupted, quickly enveloping Pitou.
"Meow... I see..."
Glancing at the surrounding dust, Pitou finally realized Kite's intention.
But she wasn't worried at all.
Not to mention that the boomerang had very low power, but she had also noticed during their earlier exchange, Kite would make a brief sound when switching weapons.
So-
Pitou bent her knees, veins popped out on her thick thighs, and her eyes were directed towards the swirling dust ahead.
The moment the sound came, she would strike.
Outside the dust cloud.
Kite dismissed his ability from a distance, and boomerang embedded in the ground dissolved into Aura, returning to his body. He then raised his left hand, channeling his Aura to conjure Crazy Slots once more.
The ability to summon and dismiss objects at will was one of the advantages of Conjuration-Type Ability.
"Gurururu-"
The Crazy Slots, which was summoned again, was suspended above Kite's palm, and the number wheel in its mouth started to spin instantly.
But Kite suddenly withdrew his hand and did not take the weapon that was about to be selected. Instead, he took two steps back, glancing sideways at the spreading dust cloud.
Whoosh-
At this moment, the slowly drifting dust suddenly rippled.
A figure cloaked in Aura burst from the dust, shooting straight toward Crazy Slots, which was still floating in the air, selecting a weapon.
"Meow!?"
Pitou, who had launched a straight-line attack from the dust, was expecting to find Kite. But she was met with Crazy Slots floating alone in the air instead, and her ruby-like eyes widened in surprise.
This was different from what she had expected.
Kite's gaze locked onto Pitou as she flew toward him.
As the user of Crazy Slots, Kite knew better than anyone the impact of his ability's sound effects.
And the ability to utilize limitations to his advantage was one of the hallmarks of a skilled Nen User.
Kite had used Crazy Slots' sound effects to lure Pitou into making a straightforward attack. Now, all he had to do was swing with all his might for a home run.
He formed his hand into a chop and slashed downward, striking Pitou's lower back as she flew toward Crazy Slots.
Thud!
Nephipido was caught off guard and was slammed into the ground in front of Kite.
At this moment, Crazy Slots rolled a new weapon.
[No. 4: Carbine]
Kite reached out his hand and caught the carbine with an unusually thick handle that the Crazy Slots had transformed into.
'Not the weapon I wanted...'
Kite sighed inwardly with regret.
Compared to a ranged weapon, he needed a sword right now...
But there was no time to dwell on it. Kite's finger tightened on the trigger, aiming the barrel at Pitou, who was sprawled on the ground.
Bang! Bang! Bang!...
Flames gushed out from the muzzle of the carbine, and endless Nen Bullets bombarded Pitou.
The close-range suppression kept Pitou pinned, forcing her to endure the hail of bullets striking the back of her head and spine.
But amidst the flashing gunfire...
Not a single bullet could pierce Pitou's muscles.
