At Bai Ze's call.
Chrollo, with his left hand on his hip, walked out from the corner with a graceful stride.
He appeared before Bai Ze and Yamma, holding a playing card in his right hand. He licked the card with his tongue and gave a mischievous smile.
“Hello... you're a green apple, so nice.”
“Did you find me?”
“What's your name?”
Bai Ze rubbed his brow, a faint smile on his face, "Illumi."
He wouldn't reveal his real name to Chrollo, of course.
“Illumi?” Chrollo savored the name. It was a good name. He really wanted to destroy this apple named Illumi.
Chrollo's sudden appearance and the overwhelming murderous intent he exuded put Yamma on high alert, ready to protect Bai Ze.
But the outcome.
Was unexpected by everyone.
Before Chrollo could make a move.
Bai Ze struck first, using the Rabbit Charm to instantly teleport, becoming a phantom that instantly closed the distance to Chrollo.
This was one of the twelve Charms obtained from opening a blind box earlier.
The power of speed allows the holder to move at supersonic speeds, also effective on objects, granting the holder incredible speed.
The extreme speed caused Chrollo's pupils to widen, his eyes reflecting Bai Ze's figure.
Fast!
Such speed!
Without hesitation, Bai Ze raised his right hand and aimed at Chrollo's head at close range.
He directly used the power of the Dragon Charm, also a prop from "Jackie Chan Adventures".
It can shoot out explosive flames with immense destructive power, burning and exploding. This is Saint's natal Charm.
This was also one of the abilities he gained from opening a blind box earlier.
First, he used Vongola's Hyper Intuition and the Killer Instinct as an aid to see through Chrollo's weaknesses in an instant.
At the optimal time, in the best way, with the best strategy, he launched a direct attack on Chrollo.
Using the Rabbit Charm's speed, he instantly teleported to attack Chrollo.
Then, using the Dragon Charm's explosive flame power, he attacked Chrollo's head at close range.
The whole set of actions, flowing seamlessly!
In an instant, the Dragon Charm's explosive flame power had gathered on Bai Ze's right hand, the scorching burning explosive flame was erupting with intense heat, ready to incinerate Chrollo.
The emerging flames were already scorching Chrollo's hair, with sparks of fire floating in the air and slowly falling.
He's going to die, it was Chrollo's sixth sense.
With his eyes using "凝" (凝视, Congeal Gaze), he could see Bai Ze's strength.
This blast was wrapped in endless Nen, like a laser cannon. At such a close distance, being hit by this blast would definitely turn his head to ashes.
Not daring to hesitate, Chrollo unleashed a skill he had prepared.
He used "隐 (In)" on his hands.
In - an application technique of “绝 (Zetsu)”.
It allows Chrollo to use “发 (Hatsu)” in a state that Bai Ze couldn't sense, making his Nen semi-tangible.
Under the protection of In, Chrollo had already used his Nen ability, [Elastic Love], before he came out, which was already concealed.
It allows him to turn Nen into a gum-like substance, sticking it to the enemy, restricting their movements.
The longer the Nen is stretched, the stronger the force when it retracts.
However, if the Nen leaves Chrollo's body and stretches beyond ten meters, it will break.
Elastic Love has both gum and rubber properties.
Countless hidden [Elastic Love] were connected to Chrollo's hands, the other end connected to the wall of the nearby building.
Utilizing the elasticity of [Elastic Love].
The tensile force of [Elastic Love] was already at full stretch.
Likewise, the retracting force of [Elastic Love] was also at full stretch!
This powerful retracting force caused the house wall connected to [Elastic Love] to start showing spiderweb-like cracks.
Without any hesitation, relying on his rich combat experience, Chrollo immediately released the retracting force of [Elastic Love], pulling himself away.
In an instant, the extreme explosive flame that Bai Ze had gathered on his right hand, like a dragon roaring, devoured Chrollo relentlessly!
Boom~
A loud explosion echoed.
The flames that burned the sky instantly engulfed the entire alleyway.
The house wall connected to Chrollo's [Elastic Love], due to the powerful traction, instantly collapsed, raising endless smoke and dust.
The battle only lasted a single exchange, and Chrollo was already injured.
Although Chrollo reacted quickly.
Bai Ze's combat style was completely unconventional.
Before the battle, there wasn't a single word of nonsense, it was all about action.
In a single exchange, Bai Ze burned half of Chrollo's face to a crisp, emitting hot steam, and even a charred smell.
At this moment, Chrollo, with half of his face charred black, looked like a devil from hell, extremely hideous and terrifying.
But!
The battle wasn't over yet.
Bai Ze continued to attack!
Using the Snake Charm: Invisibility.
It allows the holder to become invisible, also effective on objects, can carry many people, granting the holder the ability to become invisible.
In the blink of an eye, Bai Ze disappeared from Chrollo's sight, using the Snake Charm before Chrollo's eyes.
At this moment, Chrollo, who was always carefree and nonchalant, was completely gloomy, his eyes as dark as stagnant water, his murderous intent palpable.
Bai Ze's tricks were too many.
Sonic speed movement.
Then explosive flames.
And now invisibility.
Always taking him by surprise.
Even a seasoned expert like Chrollo couldn't handle it.
At this moment, Chrollo realized that Bai Ze was not an ordinary Nen user, not a simple little apple.
The corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, a mischievous smile on his face.
Suddenly, Chrollo erupted with endless Nen.
Finally taking the battle seriously, his Nen was incredibly intimidating.
The Nen, filled with boundless malice, spread like black mist, engulfing the entire area.
Bai Ze, still only a year old, was clearly no match for Chrollo in terms of Nen quantity.
However, after opening multiple blind boxes, Bai Ze gained a variety of abilities, which was his advantage.
For a time, the battle between Bai Ze and Chrollo became white-hot.
In an instant, Chrollo, taking the battle seriously, directly activated "圆 (En)".
"缠 (Ten)" and "練 (Ren)"'s advanced combined application technique (ultra-high-performance radar).
It allows Nen to expand outward from the user as the center, able to sense any intruder within the range of the Nen.
Practical application: "En" is defined as a technique where Nen is extended beyond a 2-meter radius from oneself and maintained for more than 1 minute.
The range of "En" varies depending on individual skill level, but "En" doesn't represent the level of one's Nen ability, sometimes it's just a matter of different application methods or needs for "En" by individuals.
When Chrollo activated "En", his pupils trembled abruptly.
Because he sensed that the invisible Bai Ze was right in front of him!
