Chapter 21 Battle with Nen Users
Chapter 21 Battle with Nen Users
Unable to determine the situation inside, Luo Ya took out his phone and dialed Vivia's number again.
The receiver only played a busy tone.
His brows were furrowed.
At this very moment.
"Bang!"
A loud explosion.
The metal roller shutter door in front of Roya was shattered from the inside by a force.
The deformed metal block, mixed with dust, was ejected outwards.
Roya's body reacted before his brain did.
The waist bends backward, the whole person is bent at an odd angle, and the back is almost touching the ground.
Iron plate bridge.
In Roya's perception, everything around him slowed down.
He could see a spinning object, swirling with air currents, brushing past the tip of Roya's nose.
That was a bullet.
This bullet is strangely powerful.
The industrial-grade, thickened roller shutter door was smashed straight through; that force...
Those with the ability to think.
This is a trap.
As the thought flashed through his mind, Roya pushed off the ground with his toes.
A shallow pit was created in the cement floor by footsteps.
Without pausing for a moment, he rushed toward the darkness, far from the warehouse.
Three figures quickly chased after them from inside the warehouse.
"They ran away?" a muscular man wearing only a vest asked.
"He's very alert," a thin man with a half-iron mask on his face said in a low voice, holding a pistol.
The masked man fired that shot just now, and the target was able to dodge it in time and even choose to run away immediately, which was beyond his expectations.
"They're not Nen users," a woman with a ponytail and a green hat said. "Who will take care of them?"
"Wow." The burly man grinned, revealing a smile. "I love crushing these kinds of geniuses."
Even before developing Nen abilities, they possess physical qualities and reflexes far exceeding those of ordinary people. Once such individuals become Nen users, they will all be top-tier beings.
The burly man exerted force with both legs, and his figure transformed into a straight line as he rushed out.
"Go help him, just in case," the woman said to the masked man beside her.
"He's just an ordinary person," the masked man said dismissively. "Damon can handle it himself."
The woman shook her head: "I have a bad feeling."
The masked man glanced at the woman and muttered under his breath, "Women are such a hassle."
The masked man, holding a pistol, also ran forward, but he was noticeably slower than the two in front of him.
……
Next to Warehouse No. 16 was a grove of trees. Luo Ya plunged into the grove, leaped, and landed silently on a thick branch, looking back over his shoulder.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The sound of trees snapping came from afar. In Roya's view, the burly man named Damon was charging around with his body, smashing down the trees in his way one by one.
"A Nen user." Roya's expression was somewhat gloomy.
The task assigned by Vivia turned out to be an encirclement of Roya.
Whatever the reason, that woman betrayed him.
Damon crashed into the last tree in his way, and looking up, he saw Roya perched in it: "Kid! Found you!"
"I didn't intend to run away either." With a flick of his wrist, Roya released the scabbard, which fell into the soil below.
Roya wanted to test just how big the gap was between his current strength and that of a Nen user.
"Arrogant!" Damon crossed his arms in front of his chest, pushed off with his feet, and blasted a crater in the ground. His body slammed into the tree where Roya was like a cannonball.
With a quick somersault, Roya dodged Damon's impact and landed lightly on another tree.
Damon smashed the tree in half, landed on his back, cracked his neck, and said, "Quite agile brat."
"However, you and I are not on the same level."
The expression on Damon's face disappeared.
"You can't even handle my malice."
Luo Ya's body sank, and he felt the air around him become viscous, with an invisible pressure squeezing in from all directions.
It's like being naked in the freezing cold.
An unseen force is targeting Roya.
but.
He gripped the knife hilt with both hands.
They can fight.
With a powerful stomp of his foot, the tree branch snapped with a mournful cry, and Roya's figure advanced instead of retreating, swooping down towards Damon on the ground.
Damon grinned, and crossed his arms again, protecting himself.
An unstoppable impact.
Damon also charged towards Roya.
"Water Breathing - Form 8 - Takitsubo!"
Roya adjusted his posture in mid-air, using the momentum of the fall to concentrate all his strength into the blade, and slashed down with all his might.
The blade landed between Damon's crossed arms.
"clang!"
A loud clang of metal colliding.
The blade felt as if it were slicing through alloy, and the force transmitted from the opponent's arm was far greater than the power from the Roya Blade.
Roya did not choose to fight head-on. Instead, he used the enormous force to twist his body in mid-air, while Damon's body continued to lurch forward due to inertia.
"Water Breathing - Second Form - Waterwheel!!"
Roya spun around, the blade drawing an arc, the force layering upon layer, slashing towards Damon's exposed nape of the neck.
"when!"
Before Damon's forward momentum had stopped, a huge force pushed him from the back of the neck, causing him to lose his balance and fly forward, crashing heavily into a large tree.
"Bang!"
The tree exploded, scattering wood chips everywhere.
Luo Ya flipped and landed, shaking the long sword in his hand.
It's so hard.
Although the knife hit its mark, the feel was off. The back of the opponent's neck wasn't as indestructible as the arms, yet the blade still couldn't cut through.
Damon stood up from the pile of rubble, rubbing the back of his neck where there was a white mark. He looked at Roya, his expression turning serious: "What kind of monster are you?!"
A person who has no thoughts at all was able to break through his own "entanglement" and leave marks on his body.
Although the defenses weren't breached, this means the opponent's attack already posed a certain threat.
Roya gripped the knife tightly.
"Your only ability is to charge forward?"
A very obvious Enhancement-type Devil Fruit user.
For Nen users, Roja most wants to fight Enhancement users.
Their abilities are straightforward, without many fancy or bizarre tricks.
Roya also hopes that after awakening his Nen, he will be an Enhancement type, as this type will have the most direct impact on improving his combat power.
"So what if you know!" Damon grinned, revealing a cruel smile. "Can you stop it?"
"He's definitely straightforward." Roya pushed off with his feet and charged at Damon once again.
Dance music.
Damon roared and charged toward Roya. His attack method was to charge, and the power would increase as the charging distance increased.
However, against an agile opponent like Roja, he needed time to turn every time, which became his fatal flaw.
Damon became the one on the defensive, taking the beating.
Roya's figure swayed constantly around Damon, using trees and terrain as fulcrums to move at high speed.
It's like dancing.
No matter how angrily Damon charged, he couldn't touch Roya's clothes.
This made Damon increasingly irritable.
At the same time, every attack from Roya landed precisely in the same spot.
Damon's nape.
"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!"
The blade struck the same spot on the back of the neck again and again.
Damon found it laughable.
Do you really think you can kill me by attacking the same spot repeatedly?
As long as you can't completely break through my "entanglement", no matter how many times you attack, it's all in vain.
"Little mouse, all you can do is run away!!"
Damon roared, turned around again, and charged toward the spot where Roya had last appeared.
Luo Ya gripped the knife with both hands and placed his feet on the tree trunk.
Is it the back of the neck again?
