Chapter 169: Each With Their Own Set Of Plans
...................
The command to contract which means it will pull him away from harm's way quick enough to avoid the deadly attack with only a small wound on one of his cheeks...
Hisoka canceled the contracting command mid-flight as to slow down his speed and land gently on the ground, he looked up at the damage done to the ceiling, the two massive swords like shaps clearly engraved on the ceiling with debris flying everywhere, this time, only some of the passengers on the fourth tier felt the small shook.
The monster's physical strength is truly monstrous especially with the fact it can use Nen quite proficiently and its massive apparent Aura output as well as its large Aura pool.
And most importantly, its strange and flexible behavior because once it destroyed that part of the ceiling, it didn't fall down, instead, one of its sword hands start twisting until it took a shape of a massive Axe, one that went through the ceiling allowing to remained hanging there looking down on Hisoka.
Hisoka gently touched his cheek and looked at his hand, scarlet blood, no much blood but he knows it was a close call, and that made a wide creepy smile surface on his face and mumbled absentmindedly, "I almost died..."
That however wasn't for long as he noticed the creature rapidly moving in his direction still on the ceiling, 'Oh well..' Hisoka shrugged his shoulders and started a game of cat and mouse that went on for minutes with him just bombarding the monster with a rain of bullets no matter how ineffective they are though his flying cards seem to cause some mild damage to the monster.
'Everything is ready but just to make sure, I need to test a few things...' Thought Hisoka looking at the monster that just jumped in his direction so he gave a command to one of the numerous threads of his rubbery aura, "Release."
And instantly after he said that, something was released, a thread of his that was stretched to its limit with a few things attached to it and once it was released, those things were sent at a speed surpassing the monster's by far largely due to its small weight.
Grenades that headed in a direction perfectly calculated so they can collide with the massive creature, one may not cause that much damage but this many will definitely be a hindrance to the creature especially with their current speed and the fact that Hisoka's Aura is encasing them.
The creature looked at the incoming danger before again looking at Hisoka as if paying the grenades no heed, however, its left side started deforming and twisting as if something is seeking to split from the creature and that's exactly what happened.
One of the Zombies completely detached from the creature and used it as a foundation to jump towards the grenades taking the burn of every grenade as they collided with him instead before exploding, the combining explosions of several grenades were loud enough to be heard from the tier above and enough to obliterate the Zombie in its entirety.
Hisoka easily avoided the creature's previous attacks as he became used to it by this point and the number of Aura sticky threads he made around is uncountable, only this time, something different happened, another three Zombies split from the creature and jumped towards several directions Hisoka can go to.
And far behind him, one of the dead bodies stood up and started running towards him seeking to surround him from all directions and not allow him to evade, expect a deafening sound reverberated through the tier again, one of the triggers were pulled and a bullet was fired, one that sent the Zombie behind him down to the ground.
And he was easily able to evade the attack that sliced deeply through the ground, the creature however remained standing on the ground without moving, instead, he waited for the Zombies that were split from him to come back as well as the new Zombie to take place of the obliterated one covering whatever weakness that left to the creature.
On top of that, something else happened that made Hisoka narrowed his eyes and know that he needs to finish this fight as soon as possible, several creatures were thrown from within the creatures towards several bodies around creating several other Zombie people that ran towards him and started mixing with the creature making it even bigger and stronger.
'So he wants to stall for time huh, the longer the battle goes the more Zombies he can add to the creature or something like this, what he has really been doing is just to stall for time, while I needed to stay alive until I complete my plan, well, it's done anyway.'
Thought Hisoka as he gave a command to his Nen started a simple operation, the creature was standing exactly what he wanted him to be as he attracted him to that specific location and the moment he gave the command is the moment his indestructible web of Nen was activated.
He knew he couldn't attach his Nen previously else the latter will be able to see through his plan but if he does so at the same time, Illumi won't have a chance to react.
Numerous sticky Aura threads were launched at that exact moment towards the creature and considering they have nothing to slow them down, they were almost instantly attached to it while also being attached to various places around stretched to their limits.
Thousands of Hioska's threads were instantly stuck to the creature in a perfectly calculated way so that if it even tries to move, it will have to have the same force needed to break all the threads at the same time and considering how resulting his Aura is, its an extremely hard thing to do.
In fact, the creature wasn't able to move even one bit looking like a mere bug that got stuck on the sticky web carefully made by a spider not allowing the prey to move at all, Hisoka wouldn't waste such an opportunity because he started running towards the creature the moment he made that command.
However, Illumi seems to have a counterattack to this because the creature started deforming more and more until several Zombies split from it, specifically the ones that form the outer layer, the layer where Hisoka's Aura is attached.
Hisoka smiled looking at this as he manipulated those Aura threads to pull those Zombies as far away as possible then manipulated some other Aura threads to release what he has hidden within them.
Grenades, numerous grenades he collected from the soldiers that are on this tier after killing them as well as the ones he collected during the fight from the remaining untouched soldiers killed by Illumi.
Once his rubbery Aura was released, numerous grenades were hurled towards the creature, a deadly attack that could definitely obliterate it completely and obliterate even Illumi with it.
That's because Ilumi sacrifices those Zombies to again have the ability to move but he also sacrifices much of the creature's flesh and blood making its defensive ability and physical capabilities much weaker and gaining the ability to move proved to be useless because of the grenades so Illumi again had to give up another batch of his Zombies.
That left him Illumi basically defenseless with only two Zombies by his side, two of which he sent towards Hisoka to intercept him and not allow the latter's Aura to touch him as he has to wait for all the Zombies he sent to collide with the grenades and cause them to explode away from him and only then can he retreat.
That was the conclusion Hisoka came to so he decided to evade the two Zombies that are wearing military outfits, and he did so quite easily by simply releasing two threads of his Aura towards them and pulling them towards each other, and jumped above them.
Only behind them is Illumi who was ready to take that chance, Illumi with his pale sharp hand heading towards Hisoka's heart and he would've definitely succeeded if the latter didn't anticipate such a thing especially considering how much Aura is concentrated on that hand.
A wide smile appeared on Hisoka's face as he mumbled, "Gotcha!" That caused Illumi's eyes to widen as he felt something touch him from the back, just a small touch with enough force to move him a bit to the left while Hisoka used his Aura to pull himself a bit to the right, as for the two Zombies that are just trying to stand up behind him, he doesn't consider them a risk at all as they're Nenless.
His focus was on his hand that just went through his opponent's chest and didn't stop one bit as it continued on its way taking his heart also and finally appearing from Illumi's back.
Illumi couldn't help but cough fresh scarlet blood though without a change in his expression as if he didn't care about the fact that he only has a few minutes to live nor did he show any resistance.
He coughed fresh blood only a human can cough in contrast to most of his Zombies who actually die the moment he put a needle to their brain, however, they don't necessarily need to die as he has another ability, a more advanced ability that allows his control to be much more accurate, for his commands to be performed perfectly without the victim dying.
Illumi slowly closed his eyes as Hisoka frowned looking at this scene, he expected more from Illumi, he expected him to have more cards up his sleeves and he probably does, Hisoka just didn't allow him to show them because he didn't need to.
An assassin is definitely who he is, almost a perfect assassin if not for his disrespect to the rules, if not for his strange mentality and his mild hunger for power, a hunger he can control to a certain extent because he knows it might just come back to bite him if he let it out and it will hinder his path.
He found his path and what type of power he wants, it will just need too much time but he never stopped his training in the basics of assassination.
Specifically, his stealth training and he managed to take it quite far with the combination with his body alteration ability, to the point Hisoka sensed nothing as Illumi stood behind him with his emotionless dark black eyes looking at him... To the point...
