Chapter 50 - Chapter 48: Post-Mortem Nen

At present, with three powerful puppets plus Omokage, a member of the Phantom Troupe.

The situation was four against one.

In terms of pure numbers, Yuu was clearly at a disadvantage.

But at any time, fodder is still fodder. Swarm tactics were a complete joke against the "Limitless Technique" equipped with wide-range attacks.

Yuu naturally understood this. He looked at Hisoka and Illumi, who were keeping their distance, and mobilized the Cursed Energy within his body.

"Cursed Technique Lapse—'Blue'!"

Sensing the flow of aura and the emergence of massive Cursed Energy, Toji chose to retreat immediately.

Presumably, if the real Hisoka and Illumi were here, they would have reacted the same way.

In a matter of seconds.

A vortex several meters wide appeared in the direction Yuu raised his hand. At the point of impact, it began tearing everything around it apart.

The ground, the walls, and the massive stone pillars supporting the building.

The moment "Blue" formed, its immense gravitational pull caused everything to tremble, and the entire building began to totter.

Dust filled the sky, surging toward the center of the vortex.

At this moment, Toji, who understood the ability, had already retreated outside the house. Meanwhile, Omokage on the high platform and the two puppets below were still stunned.

"So slow..." Yuu muttered to himself.

Then, he silently observed the puppets' movement trajectories. With a wave of his fingers, he directed this unusually large "Blue" to devour everything along the path the puppets were about to take.

Amidst the deafening tremors!

Wherever the invisible vortex passed, it left behind a scene of utter devastation!

Even if Omokage and the puppets were slow to react, they could tell that this move—

Was unblockable!

Especially the puppets of Hisoka and Illumi, who clearly saw the massive, raging vortex coming straight for them.

Their immediate reaction was to retreat backward.

However, how could Yuu not guess their thoughts?

The next moment, from a considerable distance, he instantly released a second "Blue" at a position between the two puppets.

Although the sudden gravitational force wasn't as powerful as the massive vortex behind them, it was more than enough to slightly hinder the two puppets trying to retreat.

Even if it was just a momentary pull.

But when the attraction ranges of the two "Blue" spheres overlapped, how could the two puppets, whose strength was significantly weaker than their original bodies, easily break free?

In the blink of an eye.

The airborne figures of the two puppets were instantly sucked into the vortex.

The moment they made contact, accompanied by the powerful gravitational pull of "Blue" and its high-speed rotation, the puppets' bodies were shredded into pieces.

Creating a series of ear-piercing noises.

Even though the objective was achieved, the ferocious vortex did not dissipate.

"After all, there's still one left."

Yuu suddenly looked up. With a wave of his hand, he redirected the "Blue" sweeping across the ground toward Omokage's position above!

Zzzzt————!

"Damn it!"

Omokage's heart tightened. Even though he wanted to dodge, his physical abilities were quite average. For a moment, even moving his feet seemed difficult.

Fortunately, a black shadow flashed past.

Carrying Omokage out of the arena.

The next moment, the sky-rocketing "Blue" pierced through the roof with a loud bang.

High in the air, it continued to pull the entire building below upwards, gathering everything around it into the center.

"Escaped, huh..."

Realizing the attack missed, Yuu immediately dispelled "Blue."

A second later, countless rocks and dust fell from the sky!

Smashing into the ground almost simultaneously, creating a dull tremor.

With this, Omokage's mansion completely collapsed, reduced to ruins.

...

At this moment, looking at the dust filling the sky before him.

Toji couldn't help scratching his head and sighing:

"This brat... although I haven't fought him before, he's really more trouble than I imagined."

Although he could rely on his physical gifts and five senses to dodge the attacks of "Blue," he had no means to break through the "Limitless."

Plus, his current puppet body was significantly weaker than his original one, making it even harder to deal with.

Not to mention, the silver-haired man beside him had absolutely zero combat sense. He was a complete "dead weight."

In this kind of match-up, carrying him was like hobbling oneself.

It was impossible to carry him.

Thinking of this, Toji muttered to himself:

"In the future, when taking commissions, I really should understand the target before considering it..."

While he was thinking, Yuu had already flashed out of the ruins and arrived in front of Omokage and Toji.

Yuu glanced indifferently at Toji, knowing that the current opponent posed no threat to him. He then turned his gaze to Omokage behind him.

He flashed to within half a meter of Omokage and said coldly:

"This next punch is for Satchi."

Saying that, Yuu violently swung a fist wrapped in "Blue," accompanied by the whistling wind, smashing straight into Omokage's abdomen!

Bang!!

Under the severe pain in his abdomen, Omokage instantly vomited blood wildly.

The blood splattering out was blocked one by one by the "Limitless" around Yuu, the droplets stagnating in mid-air.

As Yuu swung his fist again, he didn't forget to taunt:

"As a member of the Phantom Troupe, is this all the skill you have?"

As he spoke, Omokage was already blasted backward by Yuu's second punch, falling onto his back.

Looking at Omokage on the ground, Yuu showed disdain.

Whether in terms of physical strength or combat skill, he was truly far inferior to characters like Illumi.

Just two punches, and he was already a mess.

No wonder he was later replaced by Hisoka.

However, for a person like Omokage, Yuu wouldn't spare the force of his punches just because the opponent was weak.

"Hehehe... you said... the Troupe?"

After falling to the ground, Omokage suddenly laughed loudly:

"I joined the Troupe only to obtain more rare treasures, and eyes... especially those enchanting eyes."

"Although there are quite a few guys in the Troupe I hate, when we act together... we surprisingly get along."

"Because we didn't come together because of strength, but because we share the same philosophy... A brat like you will never understand the taste of crushing the weak."

Hearing this, Yuu raised his hand and pulled Omokage from the ground to him, then grabbed him tightly by the collar, saying coldly:

"I can understand it right now..."

As he spoke, Yuu's eyes opened slightly. Under the moonlight, his pair of azure pupils became increasingly dazzling.

Although Omokage had no strength left to fight back, he still retained consciousness. In an instant, his mouth opened and closed, whispering in awe:

"Wha... what magnificent eyes..."

But the next moment, another heavy punch came straight at him.

Followed closely by a second, a third...

...

When Yuu came back to his senses, he didn't know how much time had passed.

Omokage's face was unrecognizable, leaving only a mutilated and disgusting visage.

During this time, Toji never intervened.

He waited until Yuu snapped out of it before asking with interest:

"Gojo brat... were you always this brutal?"

Hearing this, Yuu had intended to leave, but stopped because of Toji's words. He said coldly:

"Does it matter to you...?"

Yuu turned around, looking indifferently at Toji behind him with those increasingly cold blue eyes.

"You're just a puppet without even a 'heart.' What right do you have to judge me?"

"Although we've only met once, to be honest... my impression of you is quite bad."

"What a coincidence." Toji smiled.

"From the moment I saw you, I also felt you'd be a troublesome guy."

"However, without enough pay, I wouldn't be stupid enough to make an enemy of you voluntarily."

"See you around if we get the chance."

With that, Toji left on his own initiative, taking his long blade, his subsequent destination unknown.

Yuu glanced at Omokage beside him, sensing that the 'Nen' on his body had finally dissipated.

He was thoroughly dead.

But shortly after Omokage died completely, an aura even more powerful than his original one surged up, rose into the air, and split into two streams that fled away.

"Post-mortem Nen, huh..."

Yuu observed the direction of the two streams of Nen and realized that one of them was chasing after Toji. He understood.
