Chapter 18 Illumi Joins
"Is this even human speed? It's insane!"
Eligi's eyes couldn't even catch a glimpse of Hisoka. If he were to fight Hisoka one-on-one now, he'd probably have his throat slashed by Hisoka's playing cards in less than a second.
Only Hidan, with his superior dynamic vision, was able to barely keep up with Hisoka.
It's unbelievable that Hisoka could make such good use of such simple terrain; his strength is indeed formidable, there's no doubt about that.
At this moment, Eligi couldn't help but think about how he had gotten into a fight with Hisoka.
Oh! It seems that Killua really made a bad deal, getting involved with such a dangerous guy, and he can't deal with him for the time being.
"Hehehe, guess where I'll attack from."
Hisoka's voice echoed like a ghost from the bottom of the Trap Tower, making it impossible to pinpoint its origin. Judging from his tone, it seemed he wanted to enter his favorite Q&A session.
This time, Eric didn't give the same perfunctory response as before, such as "You're a magician, you should have known my answer by now."
Instead, he answered seriously, "Hisoka, I guess it's above my head. You'll be hanging down from the top. Come on, I'm ready. Oh, I forgot to tell you, I'm also an apprentice magician."
Hisoka, who was moving at high speed, was somewhat surprised because Erigi had indeed guessed correctly. He was preparing to be lowered from the top to attack the four of them at the same time.
This is the ideal attacking position, but also the most dangerous.
However, for a skilled fighter like Hisoka, this is the ideal position for attacking; it's only dangerous for the weak.
"Hehehe, you guessed right, but there's no reward!" Even though Erigi guessed it, Hisoka still chose to hang down from the top and swipe towards the back of Erigi's neck.
"Pfft—" Blood spurted out from his neck, directly staining Hisoka's cheek.
Ailiji collapsed limply, his eyes wide open, clearly not quite understanding what was happening.
Hinata, Shino, and Kiba, who were standing nearby, also stared wide-eyed, unable to see when Hisoka fell down or how he made his move.
No, it should be said that Hinata did see it with her Byakugan, but her body didn't quite react.
This is quite terrifying, after all, Hinata is someone who can unleash 64 palm strikes in 0.08 seconds, so her dynamic nerves should be quite strong.
It's clear that Hisoka reached his maximum speed in that instant, and it's unclear how he did it.
Hisoka frowned when he saw the dead Erigi. Having learned from his previous experience of killing Erigi, Hisoka knew that the other party had a substitution technique, so he had been paying attention to him.
Even so, the opponent's stand-in still managed to evade it.
"Since they're hiding, we'll have to deal with these Nen Beasts first." Hisoka looked at the three people behind him with a hint of ferocity in his eyes, preparing to charge forward, but his body trembled slightly, and then he felt a numbness.
"Insects, when did they crawl all over me?" Hisoka looked at the insects crawling all over his cheeks and was puzzled at first, but he quickly remembered the blood that had just sprayed over him, so it must have been from that moment!
"Now! Beastman clone, Fang Over Fang!" Fang and Akamaru overlapped, Akamaru transformed into the shape of Fang, and then the two spun at high speed and crashed into Hisoka.
Hisoka concentrated his Nen in his hands for defense, then used the impact of his teeth to break free, finally slamming his body against the wall and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Stimulated by the intense pain, Hisoka regained his mobility and then stood up like an ape, letting out a low laugh: "Hehehehehe!"
The pain clearly stimulated Hisoka, making him even more excited and harder to deal with.
At this moment, Eligi had crawled out of the corpse, whose original body had turned into a pile of sand.
Looking at Hisoka in his ape form, Eligi couldn't help but shake his head and say, "Hisoka, your dance moves have become rather ugly, really unsightly."
Upon seeing Eligi reappear, Hisoka did not hesitate at all, appearing in front of Eligi in the next instant, so fast that no one could react.
The two playing cards sliced through Eligi, and blood spurted out again. This time, Hisoka saw clearly that there were insects in the blood. He had just been bitten by these insects, which had caused him to lose some of his senses.
Hisoka used his calves to dodge the flying blood, but soon realized something was wrong; his feet were covered in insects crawling around.
Hisoka felt a numbness return to his calves, and eventually a drop of blood splattered onto his body. In just a moment, a number of insects crawled on Hisoka's cheeks.
Hisoka's gaze probed, quickly locking onto Shino: "It was this guy who released the bugs, wasn't it? A manipulation-type guy, huh? Troublesome indeed!"
"Hahaha, I've finally caught you, you little monkey who keeps slipping through my fingers." Hidan's voice rang out beside Hisoka, and his flying scythe swept across Hisoka's waist.
Hisoka twisted his waist to dodge, but was still grazed by a corner of his clothes, and a trickle of blood slid down.
"Hehehehehe!" Hidan laughed upon seeing this, clearly having obtained Hisoka's blood, he could once again perform the ritual.
Just as Hidan was preparing for the ceremony, Gouji, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly attacked Hidan and kicked him away with great force.
The sudden turn of events stunned Ailiji, who couldn't understand why Gou Si had suddenly gotten involved in their fight.
But when Eriji saw the Nen needle behind Gosho's head, he understood what was going on. He was being controlled by that guy Illumi.
Illumi had been so focused on confronting Gaara that he almost forgot about Gaara's existence.
Erige thought about his life-or-death battle with Hisoka. Killua bore some responsibility, but the main person responsible should be Illumi.
"Illumi, I see you're itching to dance too!" Eligi's gaze involuntarily turned to Illumi, who had somehow returned to his original form.
"So you do know me after all. You deliberately got close to Killua, huh? If so, then it is indeed necessary to deal with this threat here." After Illumi pulled all the Nen needles off his head, he felt much more refreshed.
Illumi held six Nen needles between his fingers and stared at Eligi.
Eligi, feeling utterly bewildered by the stare, retorted, "I don't even want to talk to you. Gaara, make your move!"
And just like that, a chaotic battle broke out between the two sides.
The examiner, Li Bo, watched with great interest in the observation room; he rarely saw a battle of this caliber.
"Hehehehe! This is getting more and more interesting." Liber quickly ate potato chips while watching the fighting scene on the screen.
