Greed Island has been operating for twelve years...
And this was the first time Razor had encountered such a troublesome intruder.
From their earlier conversation, he had confirmed that Moses was the real body, so he decisively used his last Eliminate Card to send him away.
Yet, somehow, Moses had returned to his original position.
Razor stared at Moses in silence, his gaze quickly dropping to the pitch-black sword in Moses' hand.
There was no doubt that the young man before him was the same one he had just sent away a second ago.
As for how Moses had broken free from the Eliminate Card's effect and returned to his original position in such a short time...
Razor wasn't sure of the details, but he knew there was at least one ability that could achieve this.
However, he believed the probability of Moses possessing such an ability was extremely, extremely low.
Moses looked at the silent Razor and sighed lightly, "Didn't you say you were out of Eliminate Cards? How come you suddenly pulled out another one? Is there no trust between people anymore?"
"…"
Razor had no response.
At this moment, he realized one thing.
This guy in front of him was the same type of 'player' as Ging.
Seeing that Razor didn't say anything, Moses smiled again.
Even though he knew that the Game Masters of Greed Island could use specialized cards to directly expel outsiders, Moses still had the confidence to come here and try the possibility of 'smuggling'.
Moses's confidence comes from the abilities of Shadow Shift and Teleportation Divine Script.
When he stepped on the sword and landed on the beach just now, Moses took advantage of the cover of the rising sand to plant the black iron plate engraved with the Teleportation Divine Script under his feet.
Then, when he was enveloped by the golden light and sent away, he activated the Teleportation Divine Script's ability, breaking free from the golden light and returning to the black iron plate half-buried in the sand.
It had gone smoothly.
This also fulfilled one of Moses' initial plans.
If the Teleportation Divine Script hadn't been able to allow him to break free from the golden light, he would have immediately swapped places with his shadow clone.
However, the downside is that it would expose his ability to swap places with his shadow clone in front of Razor.
Given the current outcome, it was a good result.
"But I forgive you."
Moses raised his sword and pointed it at Razor, then said seriously: "So let's not waste any more time. Come on, just use force to expel me."
"Your approach... never mind."
Razor also sighed and said expressionlessly: "As you wish. From now on, I will only use force, but not to expel you… to eliminate you."
"Mm, fair enough."
A pattern emerged within the Aura surrounding Moses.
Ken: Bone-Plated Armor, ready.
On the beach, the battle is about to break out.
No matter what method Moses used to evade the effect of the Eliminate Card, he would eventually have to face Razor's force head-on.
This is inevitable.
And from the very beginning, Moses had prepared for a 'close-quarters battle'.
In fact, if he wanted to 'smuggle' and get the Blue Planet, he would have to defeat Razor here.
'I can't make the first move...'
Moses instantly entered a combat state, but resisted the urge to strike first.
The two shadow clones from before had been switched into two-dimensional shadows by him, and their presence was also eliminated using In.
He had carried out this operation at the moment he returned to his original spot using the Teleportation Divine Glyph, which drew Razor's attention.
Although Moses wasn't certain whether Razor had noticed his hidden shadow clones, the two pre-positioned clones, which were concealed with In, undoubtedly gave him the opportunity to strike first.
But Moses held back...
Because the true value of Shadow Shift lay in its element of surprise, striking when the opponent least expected it.
Therefore, the best time to use it was when the opponent was on the offensive.
And there would only be one perfect opportunity!
Seeing that Moses had no intention of attacking first, Razor did not hesitate. He raised his palms, and in each hand, he conjured a glowing red Nen Sphere.
Moses's eyes narrowed, and he waited patiently for Razor to make the first move.
However-
Razor suddenly smiled and, without warning, swung his arms, throwing the two Nen Spheres behind him.
Whoosh-
The two Nen Spheres traced a vivid red trajectory through the night sky, accurately landing on the two shadow clones that seemed to blend into the darkness.
Boom! Boom!
The red Nen Spheres exploded violently on the beach.
The violent energy instantly erupted, sending shockwaves that swept up a massive amount of sand and flung it into the distance.
This sudden, straightforward attack brutally destroyed Moses's two shadow clones, which had been hidden with In.
The sharp pain of being torn apart instantly was immediately felt by Moses.
But Moses showed no reaction on his face. And the moment Razor threw the Nen Spheres, Moses had already sent his black sword hurtling toward Razor's face.
[Super Speed: Bullet!]
The black sword, which was surrounded by electric arc-like Aura, was on the verge of piercing Razor's face.
But Razor leaned his upper body backward, allowing the blade to fly past his face. At the same time, his outstretched right hand reached up from below, firmly grasping the hilt of the rapidly flying black sword.
"That was a powerful throw, but it feels a bit misplaced."
Razor straightened his upper body and, right in front of Moses, slightly tightened his grip, crushing the black sword into scattered Nen particles.
'Using a conjured black sword as a projectile...'
'It was too incongruous.'
'If his fighting style revolved around projectiles, there was no need to waste memory capacity conjuring a black blade.'
'The most important thing is-'
'The technique of wrapping a weapon in Aura and throwing it to kill was clearly the specialty of Enhancers.'
'Which means, this kind of move should not be used by a Conjurer, who can only exert 60% of the Enhancement-Type Ability.'
'And it definitely shouldn't appear in a young man of such outstanding strength.'
'What was with this strong sense of dissonance...'
Razor's thoughts raced, but then he saw Moses rushing straight towards him.
Razor could only temporarily suppress that sense of dissonance. With a wave of his hand, he conjured another Nen Sphere and launched it without any need for charge.
Whoosh!
The red Nen Sphere shot toward Moses.
'Such a strong sense of oppression...much stronger than Franklin's.'
The red Nen Sphere flying towards him was reflected in Moses's solemn eyes.
Compared to Franklin, whom he had faced before...
Perhaps because Franklin's dual machine-gun ability split his emitted Nen attacks into dozens of smaller projectiles, the sense of oppression was nowhere near as intense as Razor's Nen Sphere.
Black sword, conjure!
With a wave of his hand, the black sword was conjured in Moses's grasp, and then he swung it at the oncoming red Nen Sphere.
When Razor saw Moses's response, the corner of his lips curled up even more.
'Having already witnessed your ability to split the Nen Sphere in two, how could I not make adjustments?'
Razor thought to himself.
At the same time-
Just as the Nen Sphere was about to make contact with the black sword, it suddenly dropped, faster than the sword's descent, and struck the sand in front of Moses.
'It dropped…?!'
Moses was shocked.
Boom!
The violent explosion caused by the red Nen Sphere instantly engulfed Moses.
Whoosh-
A violent gust of air came from the center of the explosion, carrying fine grains of sand that slapped against Razor's body.
Razor calmly gazed at the dust and smoke rising from the explosion, slowly raising his right hand to rest his thumb and index finger on his chin.
"If you lose consciousness like this, it might not be a bad thing for you."
