Faced with the dire situation, Moses couldn't afford to worry about the others. Without hesitation, he broke through the wind blades area once more, flashing toward Spudimen.
Spudimen looked coldly at Moses, who broke through the wind blades area, without any obvious body movements. It seemed not worried at all about the impending attack.
When Moses saw Spudimen's reaction, he frowned slightly, and the Black Sword in his hand turned into a streak of black lightning, which slashed toward Spudimen's neck with blinding speed.
However, at the moment when the blade touched Spudimen's neck, instead of cutting through its flesh, the Black Sword suddenly shattered into countless fragments and turned into motes of light.
"…!"
Seeing this scene, Moses's pupils constricted sharply.
Spudimen, however, wasn't the least bit surprised.
"As far as humans are concerned, the power and skill of this strike of yours deserve to be called the pinnacle of mastery."
Spudimen did not seize this opportunity to counterattack. Instead, with a demeanor that transcended the mortal world, it offered Moses praise.
But unfortunately-
no matter how powerful this strike was, in front of its ability called [Isolation], it would only be like an ant blocked by a glass cover, utterly incapable of breaching that barrier.
At that moment, a yellow figure circled around to Spudimen's back.
It was Kanzai, whose body is now covered with tiger stripes.
His regenerative Enhancement-Type ability allowed him to perfectly offset the damage and obstruction from the dense wind blades.
Thus, with no need to worry about injuries, he maneuvered into the fight, finding an opportunity to flank Spudimen from behind.
"Go to hell!"
Kanzai's eyes were sharp as blades as he swung his fist toward the back of Spudimen's head.
This punch concentrated 90% of his Manifested Aura, as if half his body were already leaning over a cliff's edge.
Moses noticed Kanzai's actions and wanted to shout a warning to stop him, but it was already too late.
Kanzai's fist struck the back of Spudimen's head unimpeded.
Bang!
Crack-
A dull impact sound was followed by the shattering of bone.
The moment Kanzai's right fist made contact with Spudimen's head, it was as if he had struck the hardest barrier in the world. His fist and half his forearm up to the elbow shattered into fragments.
However, Kanzai's pain tolerance was top-notch. Even after suffering such damage, he didn't even make a sound, but instead his eyes widened in disbelief.
At the same time, driven by his rich combat instincts, he immediately leaped backward, putting distance between himself and Spudimen.
However, Spudimen showed no intention of attacking at all, which made Kanzai's reaction seem too exaggerated.
Moses also took this opportunity to retreat and increase the gap between himself and Spudimen.
One Super Speed: Cannon, one close-range slash, and Kanzai's punch just now...
The results of these three attacks allowed Moses to discern the nature of Spudimen's ability.
'It's definitely not a standard complete-interception-type Nen ability...'
Moses's eyes were solemn.
If it were an Emission-Type complete-interception ability, it would typically allocate all 'ability points' to 'interception', rather than possessing the hardness and rebound effect Spudimen demonstrated.
While it is possible to achieve this through harsh limitations-
Moses believes that Spudimen's ability has reached the level of 'rules'.
Therefore, it might not be an Emission-Type Ability, but a Specialist-Type Ability.
Spudimen stared at Moses, who was retreating, with indifferent eyes.
It seemed that his attention was mostly on Moses, and he didn't even take a second look at people like Kanzai, who were nothing more than a winged ant. It seemed they are unworthy of even a glance from it.
This natural, contemptuous attitude infuriated Kanzai.
But now that his dominant hand was severely injured, even if Kanzai was furious, he had to prioritize using his [Tiger Stripe] to heal his wounds quickly.
Neither Moses nor Kanzai rashly launched another attack, and Spudimen also showed no intention of striking.
Meanwhile, on the other side-
Botobai and the others had all escaped the wind blades area, but each of them bore injuries.
The worst off was Golem's robot, which had been nearly scraped into a wreck by the wind blades.
If Spudimen's attention had not been on Moses, it would have been able to kill Golem by simply moving the wind blades area with its fingers.
As for the rest, such as Cheadle and Ponzu, while they no longer had to withstand wind blade attacks because Spudimen had shrunk the area of the wind blades, after the initial devastation, more than half of the entire group was killed or injured.
In less than three minutes-
Every person present had witnessed Spudimen's terrifying strength.
Moreover, this terrifying strength is not reflected in its Manifested Aura, but is reflected in the form of its Ability.
"You humans do not possess the capital to 'do as you please'."
Spudimen swept its gaze over every human present with a condescending air, its eyes as if looking at livestock in a pen or ants too insignificant to hold its attention for even a second longer.
"Soon, you will understand the consequences of 'breaking the rules'."
At this point, Spudimen finally revealed its killing intent, and the life force surrounding him surged to its peak.
If the level of its Manifested Aura just now was '1', then now it has reached 3.
This also means that the strength of his Ability called [Isolation] would increase roughly threefold in all aspects.
Most of the people present had witnessed Spudimen using his barrier-like ability to block Moses and Kanzai's attacks.
Thus, they quickly realized that Spiderman, with his Manifested Aura tripled, had become an existence of a higher dimension, and despair inevitably crept into their hearts.
Among everyone, only Moses' emotions quickly stabilized...
He-
still had one more [Counterpoint Cornerstone] to use.
'I can't predict the consequences, but facing the crisis head-on now is still better...'
Moses lowered his eyelids slightly, and the Black Sword silently conjured in his hand.
Then-
Under the startled gazes of the crowd, Moses stepped forward and swung his sword at Spudimen once more.
Spudimen looked at Moses.
This time, it would counterattack.
As the thought crossed its mind, the black arc of light from Moses's slash arrived before it.
[Isolation]
The barrier formed by the power of rules allowed Spudimen to be immune to almost all forms of attack.
The sharp black arc of light descended as expected, cleaving downward toward Spudimen's head.
Swoosh!
The black light effortlessly split Spudimen's entire body in half.
"What…!?"
In an instant, Spudimen felt the sensation of its body being torn apart, its face twisting in shock.
It stared fixedly at Moses, the indifference on its face had disappeared, replaced by astonishment and disbelief.
Moses calmly retracted the Black Sword, and then looked at the line of blood emerging from Spudimen's body.
That slash just now-
Had not only severed Spudimen's body, but also the space within that area!
