In HxH with Doraemon Pocket

Chapter 370 371

So you can imagine, no matter how powerful the enemy, with just a few strokes, they can be rendered useless.

"That sword in your hand looks quite formidable. Let's turn it into a toy hammer."

"Huh?! This robot of yours seems rather stiff, let's make it an inflatable doll."

"What, planning to unleash a big move? Watch as I turn you into a slime!"

It could be said that this tool even gives one a god-like feeling of controlling others.

In Morin's hand, besides this [Illustrative Crayon], there was also the previous spatial item, the [Warp Space Pen].

In fact, there was another equally powerful crayon that Morin had yet to draw. It's called the [Realistic Crayon].

The effect of this crayon can be described in just four words: Ma Liang's Magic Brush.

That's right, whatever you draw will be transformed into reality, exactly like the magic brush of Ma Liang!

This crayon is on par with those top-tier tools, with effects completely different from the [Illustrative Crayon].

One leans towards creation, while the other leans towards manipulation.

It's not very clear which is stronger, but if they could be used together... Tsk tsk!!

"It seems the winner has already been decided, huh?"

Morin twirled the crayon in his hand and chuckled lightly.

The effect of the [Illustrative Crayon] is nothing short of miraculous, but the cost it brings is equally enormous.

At least, after turning Jed into this sorry state, Morin's own aura had significantly diminished.

Considering the previous usage of the [Magic Spell Book], [Invincible Turret], [Protective Sphere], and [Evasive Cloak], Morin's current nen and aura had dropped to a somewhat low level.

After all, using so many causality-altering and powerful tools in succession was somewhat taxing.

However, the results were very pleasing, at least turning the supposedly world's strongest, Jed, into an unrecognizable form.

Moreover--

For Morin, the weakening of nen and reduction of aura wasn't really a big issue.

Since he had brought out so many tools, he naturally had certain trump cards and backup plans to support such reckless consumption.

Never underestimate a tool user's numerous trump cards at their disposal.

"Is that all you have, Jed?"

Morin asked from above after removing the [Protective Sphere], without any intention of stepping closer to Jed.

At the same time, there was no hint of a victor's tone in his voice.

If Jed could be subdued so easily, he wouldn't deserve the title of returning from hell.

Having sold his soul to the demon king and resurrected, if he were to be rendered helpless by Morin like this, it would simply mean he was too useless.

And is he really such a weak character? Clearly not.

At the very least, Morin knew Jed hadn't unleashed his grudge ability yet.

He hadn't even begun to exert his true full strength!!

"I underestimated you."

Jed's eyes were inverted, yet they didn't hinder the emotions reflected within them.

"As expected, someone highly regarded by Netero is indeed extraordinary."

As he spoke,

A deep blue-black flame suddenly surged from Jed's body, engulfing him entirely.

"Tool user Morin, is it? I'll remember you."

After repeating the name once more at the top of the Heavens Arena, Jed's expression gradually calmed.

Simultaneously, his muscles began to relax under the influence of the flames.

Before long, his entire body was shrouded in the grudge flames, obscuring the real situation inside.

The calm before the storm!

For some reason, the phrase suddenly flashed through Ron's mind.

"Next, let's engage in a truly meaningful battle, with the resolve of wagering our lives!"

Jed's voice came from within the flames, and the air around him began to thicken and become viscous with his words.

"Is it coming, Jed?"

Netero's gaze remained fixed on Jed's back, his eyes exceptionally serious.

"The symbol of your former strength, the ability that established the absolute leadership of the Shadow organization!"

In the next moment, boundless grudge power erupted from the flames enveloping Jed, soaring into the sky!

"Hundred Ghosts Curse Grudge—"

A low, hellish growl...

The flames dissipated, revealing Jed's restored, unharmed form.

Reforged by the grudge flames, his body was restored to its original state!!

The grudge power that could resurrect him and return his body to its youthful peak could certainly handle the mere task of restoring him to his original form!!

---

Rasetsu!!

A low chant emerged from Jed's mouth, and his once dark-green pupils were instantly engulfed in pitch blackness. Countless grudges rapidly coalesced, immediately intertwining and filling the space, forming a colossal entity that blotted out the sky, leaving everyone in terror.

"What... is that?"

All the viewers in front of their televisions, who could see this creature, were left in a daze, their lips quivering as they struggled to utter these words. How could such a power exist?!

Ominous, horrifying, eerie, nightmarish, cursed—it's as if all the world's negative states converged at this moment.

These negative states were transformed into tangible abilities, presented before the world!!

"Is this the ability that rivals Netero's Zero hand?"

Buffeted by the intense, chilling wind, Morin squinted, scrutinizing the massive creature on the horizon.

"That's some intense malice!"

Morin glanced at the center of Rasetsu, where Jed was releasing his ability.

It must be said, as a representative of the Enhancement category, Jed's Hundred Ghosts Curse Grudge ability was in no way inferior to Netero's Hyakushiki Kannon.

In fact, it might even surpass it, likely being the strongest grudge-based ability at present.

With such strength and power, defeating it might require a bit more effort.

Well, just a bit more effort, perhaps?

"Your nen should be running low by now, shouldn't it?"

Jed suddenly spoke while releasing the Hundred Ghosts Curse Grudge.

"I can feel it. Every time you use one of those tools, it drains your own nen and aura."

"When you first appeared, your aura was so overwhelming, the strength of your nen even made me take notice."

"But now..."

A knowing expression spread across Jed's face, as if he had everything under control:

"The conditions and limitations for using those tools are the consumption of your own aura and nen, right?"

"After expending so much nen and aura, what do you have left to fight me with?!"

Jed seemed to be stating a fact, and feeling that he had already seized control of the situation, his emotions returned to calmness.

In front of television screens, many nen users watching began to notice the differences after hearing Jed's words.

Indeed, compared to the beginning, Morin's aura and nen had noticeably weakened.

This realization caused their hearts to sink slightly.

If even this seemingly powerful figure, who wielded various Conjuration tools, couldn't suppress Jed, then who else in this world could stand against him?!

Gazing at the Hundred Ghosts Curse Grudge that seemed to engulf the sky, the hearts of many continued to sink.

In the Hunter Association office.

"It seems the opponent's strength far exceeds our expectations."

Cheadle Yorkshire gazed at the scene on the screen, feeling a weight in her heart.

Despite having tried to overestimate Jed's strength, the power he displayed still took them by surprise.

"Morin... should be fine, right?"

Kanzai asked uncertainly.

He had also heard Jed's words and could naturally discern Morin's current state.

As Jed mentioned, Morin's aura and nen were indeed somewhat depleted at this point.

"Don't worry."

On various screens, Kastro smiled slightly, showing no signs of concern:

"Master never engages in battles he's not confident in."

"If Master has allowed his nen and aura to drop to such a level, there are only two possibilities."

Having followed Morin for so many years, Kastro knew all too well:

"Either Master did it on purpose, or..."

His eyes glimmered with confidence: "Master simply doesn't care!!"

"No matter how much nen and aura are consumed, it doesn't matter to him, it has no impact, which means—"

"Does Mr. Morin have a trump card to handle this situation?"

Mizaistom took over Kastro's words.

"Exactly."

Kastro nodded gently.

Hearing this, the expressions of the other Zodiac members eased considerably.

They then refocused their attention on the screens before them.

They were curious about what kind of tools and strategies Morin would employ to deal with what seemed to be the most dire situation.

However—

"Buzz—"

To the astonishment of many, the screen suddenly turned to static.

"What happened to the picture?!"

Not only at the Hunter Association, but other television projection screens also experienced the same issue.
