Chapter 275
An incredible amount of aura was wrapped around it, and it fiercely grabbed onto his hair. Simultaneously, a powerful surge of aura burst forth, crashing directly onto Omokage's skull.
"Crack!"
The sound of Omokage's skull fracturing was clearly audible. His eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground, his life or death uncertain.
His subordinates' puppets...
Meanwhile, on a distant hillside.
"This really is the perfect tool for a sneak attack," Machi remarked with some amazement, glancing at the small mirror in Morin's hand.
"It's nothing special, really," Morin replied modestly, putting away the [Hair-Pulling Mirror].
Item: [Hair-Pulling Mirror].
Effect: Using this mirror, one can reach behind an opponent and unknowingly pull their hair.
Hmm, if you can reach behind your opponent, why just pull their hair? Why not strike their skull directly? Morin demonstrated this by using his aura-infused hand to smack the back of Omokage's head.
Actually, this should have been easy to dodge.
If it were someone like Chrollo, Hisoka, or Illumi, even if they couldn't dodge in time when Morin's hand appeared, they would immediately cover the back of their head with aura for defense.
But Omokage's personality was too manic, and he thought he had a good grasp of the situation, which was far from true. Just standing there, he was full of openings.
His aura skills were slightly above average, but his physical skills were really lacking.
This is why Morin's slap landed so easily on his forehead. And then, Omokage was down for the count.
To be honest, Machi didn't expect it to be so easy to take down Omokage.
She thought there would be a tug-of-war, a series of battles, before they could defeat him. However?
"The purpose of tools is to make any task easier and solve any problem," Morin smiled at her, "including dealing with troublesome enemies, which is the hallmark of these tools."
Tools are meant to facilitate achieving one's goals. Especially with these tools, there are many attack-oriented ones among them.
Currently, Morin holds numerous such tools for dealing with opponents.
The previously enhanced [Super fall Expert Z] was already something that even the Zoldyck family found challenging to handle.
Not to mention the [Hotline Gun], [Overlord Gun], [Earth Destroyer Bomb], [Pencil Bomb], [Invincible Cannon], and many other tools.
Morin truly has it all. The tools used to control people, previously demonstrated to Gon at the Hunter Association, were also a dazzling array.
Morin now hardly needs to exert much effort to achieve his goals.
Even taking down someone like Omokage, who could be a standalone movie villain in the original version, is entirely possible before he can showcase his diverse puppet abilities, quite easily knocking him down.
Even denying him the chance to release his abilities, leaving him defeated unjustly.
In Morin's view, with so many tools at his disposal, not using them properly would be a waste of resources!
Why bother with a direct confrontation when you can easily resolve the opponent, avoiding the hassle and difficulty of letting them display their abilities one by one?
Morin would never do something so foolish~
This is also why, in Machi's eyes, Omokage's defeat seemed so frustrating. After Omokage lost consciousness, his puppets naturally lost the support and control of his aura.
...
They then fell under Uvogin's iron fist and Nobunaga's blade.
"Damn, this bastard, always playing these underhanded tricks, it's really disgusting." Even after clearing out the puppets, Uvogin was still displeased. To vent his frustration, he stomped on Nobunaga's puppet and ground it underfoot.
...
Nobunaga glanced at him sideways, then found Uvogin's puppet. He spat several times on the puppet's face and then vigorously slashed at it with his sword.
Seeing this scene, Machi thought, "Their way of bonding is always so unique."
"Morin, it was you who did this, right?!" As Machi and Morin walked over, Uvogin and Nobunaga also noticed their presence.
---
Uvogin immediately shouted, "You intercepted our prey again!!!"
"We were helping you," Machi retorted, rolling her eyes. "Otherwise, with the situation you two were in just now, who knows how long it would have taken to finish. You might have even ended up as Omokage's puppet specimens."
"We're not that useless!!" Uvogin protested indignantly, while Nobunaga sheathed his sword and approached the fallen Omokage.
"Is he dead... No, he still has a few breaths left," Nobunaga said, checking Omokage's breathing and finding a faint sign of life.
"Then let's take him back for everyone to judge," Morin suggested.
"As the first member to leave the troupe since its formation, and doing so by faking his death, he's violated the troupe's rules. Rather than killing him here, let everyone decide his fate."
"That's a good idea," Machi nodded slightly. "I have no objections."
"Sounds good to me," Nobunaga glanced at Omokage. "This guy's Nen ability is decent. If Chrollo's interested, it could be added to his collection."
Uvogin added, "And there's Hisoka! There's definitely some secret between him and Omokage. I suspect Hisoka joined the troupe with ulterior motives! I'll have to question him thoroughly when we get back!"
Despite his indignation, the next step was to return to the base. Nobunaga planned to carry Omokage and follow Morin and the others. However, before he could act, Morin produced a pen.
"Let's use this [Warp Space Pen] to travel," Morin said, drawing a circle in the air with the peculiar pen.
Item: [Warp Space Pen].
Effect: Drawing a circle with this pen creates a warp space hole, leading to any desired location. Erasing it with an eraser restores the space to normal.
On a rainy day, Doraemon used this pen to draw a circle in the air, handing a basket and money through it to a shopkeeper to buy dinner ingredients.
Later, Nobita borrowed it to prank Gian, but Gian pulled him through the circle. They then tried to visit a zoo, but drew the hole too large, allowing a lion to escape, nearly feeding Nobita and Gian to it.
"What's this tool...?" Machi and Nobunaga curiously observed when Morin finished the circle, suddenly realizing the space on the other side was their base!
"Is this a space-crossing tool?" Uvogin stroked his chin, laughing, "This is quite convenient; we can go straight back to the base!!"
"Let's go," Morin smiled, stepping through first.
The [Warp Space Pen] is a tool for space-crossing movement.
In terms of function, it's almost comparable to the Anywhere Door, and its smaller size makes it more convenient to carry.
Morin recently acquired it, feeling a premonition that more causality-breaking tools would soon follow.
The appearance of the [Warp Space Pen] is a simple signal that other tools like the [Anywhere Door], [Devil Passport], [Dictator Button], and [Wish-Granting Notebook] will likely appear in the near future.
Inside the abandoned building base, when the complete space circle appeared, the people playing mahjong immediately stopped.
Feitan looked up from his book, glancing over. Only Chrollo had a faint smile on his lips. As Uvogin's massive form stepped through first, the expressions of the troupe members gradually relaxed.
