Chapter 61: Hell Stab: One-Finger Nukite
Uvogin saw Ronin's movement clearly, but his body couldn't keep up.
Ronin had specifically targeted the side with Uvogin's new arm.
Although the arm had been attached for over a month, Uvogin still couldn't circulate Nen through it as smoothly as his original limb.
Ronin seized upon this disharmony in aura flow.
Uvogin turned, lifted his leg, and stomped violently onto the ground. He had to limit Ronin's speed. Otherwise, even if this strike didn't take his remaining arm, the threat was undeniable.
Ronin had become far more dangerous than he imagined.
The ground shattered under Uvogin's immense power, sending gravel and sand flying. But what exploded first was the severed arm flying through the air!
Mid-flight, the stump of the severed arm changed.
It transformed from flesh and blood into a dark gun barrel. Aura surged from the black void, blooming into a blinding light before shooting straight at Ronin.
It all happened in an instant.
As Ronin turned, he saw a powerful Nen bullet already in front of his face.
That is definitely not Uvogin's arm!
As the thought flashed through his mind, Ronin retracted one finger, shifting from the Four-Finger Nukite to the Three-Finger Nukite.
His fingers collided with the Nen bullet. Powerful Lightning Chakra pierced the energy projectile, driving straight through it.
By then, Uvogin had already appeared beside Ronin.
The severed arm didn't seem to surprise him. Instead, he capitalized on the distraction it caused.
It was another Big Bang Impact, but this time delivered with Uvogin's own right fist!
But Uvogin didn't know that his every move was laid bare before Ronin's Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
Before the fist could land, Uvogin's vision warped.
Massive spikes materialized from nowhere, piercing his limbs and pinning him down as if to crucify him for eternity.
Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique.
Fighting a Sharingan user without avoiding eye contact was a death sentence. That was common knowledge in the ninja world.
Unfortunately, it wasn't common knowledge here.
In Ronin's eyes, the punching Uvogin stiffened. Even though the hesitation lasted less than a second, it was enough for Ronin to dodge.
Uvogin's fist smashed into empty air, creating a sonic boom.
Meanwhile, after piercing the severed arm's bullet, Ronin's fingers swept toward Uvogin's abdomen.
Still the Three-Finger Nukite.
But this time, it wasn't a stab—it was a heavy slash!
Bam!
Using Ryu, Uvogin shifted more aura to his waist, blocking the slash.
But intense pain exploded from the impact site.
Ignoring the pain, Uvogin shifted aura to his leg and whipped out a heavy kick at Ronin.
Amidst the chirping of electricity, Uvogin's attack missed again. Instead, a dangerous presence appeared behind him.
Ronin retracted another finger. The Two-Finger Nukite stabbed straight for Uvogin's head.
A look of madness crossed Uvogin's face. Instead of dodging, he headbutted Ronin's fingers.
BOOM!
An explosion erupted where fingers met skull. Even the Two-Finger Nukite, charged with massive Chakra, couldn't pierce Uvogin's skull.
Ronin's eyes narrowed. Electricity flowed as he retreated. But as he pulled back, the clothes on his chest suddenly split open.
It was a slash caused by Uvogin's turning hand-chop!
Transmutation Nen?
Ronin looked down at his chest. There wasn't even a scratch on his skin.
The Lightning Release Chakra Mode not only granted him immense combat power but also supreme defense.
It was, after all, the "Strongest Lightning Release Armor"!
Uvogin's attack reminded him of Gon's desperate improvisation. Was this a spur-of-the-moment adaptation?
But a hastily thrown-together attack couldn't generate much power. Even if Ronin hadn't trained his body to this extent, the Chakra armor alone would have blocked it.
Ronin retracted one last finger.
Chakra focused entirely into that single point. This was the One-Finger Nukite, the Third Raikage's ultimate spear.
Uvogin's expression turned ugly.
Ronin was faster than him. More importantly, the boy seemed to see through every move, reading the flow of his aura perfectly.
Whether he used In or feints, he couldn't escape those eyes.
Defeating Ronin head-on in this state had become a pipe dream. Even landing a hit was proving difficult.
Under these circumstances, Uvogin thought of using surprise attacks outside his Enhancement affinity.
Just like Ronin switching to ranged attacks in the arena when he realized he couldn't win in melee.
Emission and Transmutation were his best bets.
Ronin vanished again!
Uvogin formed a hand-knife, concentrating aura to make it sharp as a blade.
Ronin reappeared right in front of Uvogin.
The One-Finger Nukite thrust mercilessly toward Uvogin's heart.
Uvogin suddenly opened his mouth and roared. The sound wave exploded like a gong struck right in Ronin's face.
The massive sonic impact washed over Ronin, while Uvogin chopped his hand down toward the space in front of him.
The sonic wave engulfed Ronin, but it posed no threat.
Old tricks!
Uvogin had tried this on the airship and failed. Trying to use such a crude move now was delusional!
Ronin simply diverted some Chakra to protect his ears, nullifying the effect.
However, Uvogin's predictive chop collided with Ronin's extended arm. The impact shifted the One-Finger Nukite slightly off course.
Instead of the heart, it pierced Uvogin's side.
In an instant, it tore away a massive chunk of flesh!
Ronin stopped behind Uvogin, shaking the gore off his finger.
Turning around, his indifferent gaze landed on Uvogin again.
Uvogin looked down at the wound on his abdomen. Intestines were spilling out.
His face was grim.
He couldn't see a way to win this fight.
Using Transmutation and Emission gave him a chance to hit Ronin by surprise, but the power was incomparable to his Big Bang Impact. The damage to Ronin was negligible.
If this dragged on, he would die!
