Hunter x Hunter: My Nen Beast is Strong

Chapter 58 Dust Release Armor

The coolest thing inside is probably that big purple sphere, which can destroy anything it considers an enemy. The principle is similar to Dust Release, which also breaks down enemies.

In its initial form, it can be used as a piece of armor, which is a very useful ability for someone like Eligi who doesn't have many defensive moves.

"Let's start with something simple!" Eligi thought to himself, then made a sword-finger gesture with his hands and silently chanted Dust Release: Bind: Rise.

Soon, a rectangular barrier of dust escape appeared beneath Eligi's feet, supporting him and extending further as Eligi condensed his spiritual energy upwards.

"Hmm! It actually works!" After seeing that his idea was feasible, Ailiji immediately moved on to the next step, which was to attach the barrier around his body using the "Zhou" method.

Without hesitation, Ailiji first waved his finger to the right, removing the cube-shaped barrier beneath his feet, and then created another barrier to envelop himself.

The barrier began to shift, twist, and compress according to Eligi's will. Because of its irregular shape, the barrier became extremely unstable.

This made Ailiji's eyelids twitch wildly, and he felt a suppressed aura about to explode at any moment.

"Boom—"

Indeed, just as Eligi had predicted, the barrier eventually exploded due to its instability.

The explosion was quite powerful, attracting Quentin and his group to come and watch.

Seeing the somewhat disheveled room, Quentin was puzzled, but ultimately stepped forward with concern and asked, "Brother Elligie, were you ambushed again? Are you alright?"

Eligi emerged from the smoke and dust, his clothes somewhat tattered from the dust jutsu, likely because some of the fabric had been broken down by the dust jutsu, but he himself was completely unharmed.

In this way, the Dust Release armor and even the Dust Release barrier sphere are all the same shape.

However, one is compression and the other is expansion, and Ailiji thought he needed to study them carefully.

"It's nothing. I just pulled the pin on a grenade to test my defenses. Hmm! It felt pretty good," Eligi said with a smile, stroking his chin.

But Quentin was already a little scared after hearing this. If even a grenade couldn't kill it, what kind of monster was it? Was it really worth it to provoke such a monster?

"Since it's already done, there's no turning back. Since explosives won't work, then poison is the only option. I refuse to believe that even poison can be used as a defense," Quentin thought to himself.

Indeed, poison is extremely lethal to Nen users, and many powerful Nen users cannot defend against it.

That's why the Zoldyck family required training for resistance to toxins. Because drugs are extremely harmful to Nen users.

Quentin's malicious thoughts were almost palpable, making Eligi feel a strong sense of malice, which he found somewhat inexplicable.

I can't understand why Quentin would be so hostile towards me if I were to blow myself up.

"Hehehe, Brother Eric, you shouldn't do such dangerous things. I'll have someone change your room right away," Quentin said with a smile.

Eric nodded and accepted Quentin's kindness. If Quentin hadn't shown a rather obvious murderous aura towards him, he would have felt that getting along with him was quite good.

Perhaps this is what it means to be good at disguising oneself.

Knowing that the Dust Release compression technique carries the risk of explosion, Eliji did not practice in his room, but instead drove more than ten kilometers to a desert area to train arduously.

Another month passed, and it was mid-July.

In another month and a half, the annual auction will begin.

During this time, Eliji has been practicing Dust Release and has already gained his own understanding of it. He has also created a Dust Release Armor and a Dust Release Great Fire Explosion Technique, which can be considered a considerable achievement.

On this day, Eligi returned to town, and Quentin rushed to find him.

"Brother Eric, what does this mean? Why are you transferring me at this crucial time? Is it because of you? I haven't offended you recently, have I?" Quentin asked hurriedly.

In Quentin's view, the only person in front of him who could get him transferred out of the outpost of Youkexin was Eliji.

"Isn't this a good thing? Did the higher-ups say they're going to transfer you somewhere?" Eligi asked curiously. He thought Scorpion had forgotten about executing Quentin and was preparing to do it himself.

Quentin said with a somewhat grim expression, "What good news? I've been transferred to Kunhai Port, and you're the new manager of this town."

"Oh! Is that so!" I never expected that I would go from being a bouncer to being the manager of the venue. Although Scorpion is a bit inefficient, he always does things that please Eligi.

Becoming a supervisor means you'll be able to handle a large number of collections, and then you can select those with Nen attached to them.

Quentin pressed again, "Don't you have anything to explain?"

"Explain, explain why I've been inexplicably assassinated all this time?" Eligi asked with a strange expression, too lazy to play along.

Quentin looked away after hearing this: "I don't know what you're talking about."

"I don't know, then I'll just follow the organization's orders." Ailiji turned and left without saying another word to the other party.

Quentin's face was extremely grim, and the veins on his forehead throbbed. He then pulled out a long-barreled pistol from his waist and shouted, "You have to give me an explanation."

As Ailiji turned around, he saw the cold muzzle of a gun pointed at him.

"In the past month or so, you've poisoned me five times and attempted to assassinate me twice. How do you explain that?" Eligi's face became very calm, as if he were recounting something perfectly ordinary.

"Hahaha, you finally figured it out. In that case, go die."

"boom--"

Quentin pulled the trigger, firing an armor-piercing bullet, which was much more powerful than a regular handgun bullet.

Even Nen users can be caught off guard.

The bullet flew directly toward Eligi's forehead, the powerful impact causing his head to tilt backward.

"Hit." Quentin's face lit up with joy, but he didn't stop being cautious. Instead, he pulled the trigger and shot at Eligi to finish him off. He knew that these ability users were extremely powerful.

Ailiji was shot backward step by step by bullets.

When the magazine was empty, Quentin saw that Eligi was still lying on the ground, and a sense of fear arose in his heart. His voice trembled as he asked, "You, what kind of monster are you?"

Eligi slowly returned his head to its original position, glanced at Quentin, and said, "You know nothing about power, otherwise you would have no sense of awe."

As he spoke, a compressed bullet appeared in Ellige's fingers without his knowledge. He clenched his right fist and flicked it with his thumb, sending the bullet casing piercing Quentin's forehead.

Quentin collapsed heavily to the ground and died instantly, not understanding what had happened until his death.

"Really, in the end I had to do it myself!" Eligi seemed a little speechless, then patted his body and saw several spent shell casings fall out from inside his clothes.

Eligi was quite satisfied with the defensive capabilities of the Dust Release Armor; it had no difficulty blocking bullets.
