Chương 114: A Spell That Cannot Hit

"This is a special spell only game administrators can use. Since you came in through an improper method, you must leave."

"If you had landed through the proper method, we would welcome you. Also, if you defeat me inside the game, you can obtain a rare item."

"Players will eventually fight me for that reason."

"That is enough explanation. If you still want to come back, buy the game. I hope we can meet inside Greed Island properly." Razor was confident in Eliminate. He did not believe Aren's group could resist being expelled. Aren looked at Razor's confident attitude and smiled.

"Looks like you have a lot of faith in that card. Try it, then. Let's see whether it can take me away." The moment Aren finished speaking, aura erupted from his body. It was more than ten times stronger than Razor's. The aura spread outward and wrapped around Neon, Uvogin, and Machi as well. Razor's relaxed expression vanished. His eyes turned serious. The pressure erupting from Aren was even stronger than Ging Freecss's. Still, strength was strength. This was Razor's territory.

A battle between Nen users was never as simple as the larger aura reserve winning automatically. No matter how powerful Aren was, he should not be able to resist rules. Unless his strength was great enough to oppose the entire island. Razor raised the card.

"Use Eliminate." The card in his hand turned into golden light and vanished. Aura rose from the ground, trying to wrap around Aren's group. The Limitless Technique activated. Space rippled. This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. The aura from Eliminate was blocked outside. Razor's eyes widened.

'What ability is that?'

'It blocked Eliminate?' Razor was right about one thing. With Aren's current strength, he could not directly oppose the full power of Greed Island. But just as Aren had told Uvogin, a technique that could not hit its target was useless. Aren could not overpower Eliminate. He could make Eliminate fail to reach him.

"Looks like the spell card you trusted did not work the way you hoped." Aren teased Razor, who was still shocked. Razor did not respond. He stared at the spatial ripple around Aren.

'Is that invisible defense blocking Eliminate?' A red aura ball condensed in Razor's right hand. The next second, just as he had warned the hired inmates earlier, he spiked the aura ball toward Aren. At this point, Razor had no room to worry about the little girl beside Aren. He had only recently turned away from his old criminal life. Compared with the calmer man he would become later, Razor still retained a great deal of brutality. If Aren had an invisible defensive barrier around him, Razor would break it.

The crimson aura ball shot toward Aren like a cannonball. The instant it touched the spatial ripple, it stopped cold in front of him. Aren gave a soft, disdainful laugh. His hand turned. Limitless Technique: Reversal. The frozen aura ball and the aura from Eliminate reflected back toward Razor. The aura ball obeyed Aren's control and flew back, but the moment the Eliminate aura left the Limitless Technique, it turned again and rushed toward Aren. That was probably the power of rules.

Like Knuckle's mascot in the future, no amount of force could simply destroy it. Aren clicked his tongue in irritation. On the other side, Razor was not surprised by the reflected aura ball. After seeing that Aren's defense had frozen the projectile instead of simply blocking it, he had already guessed that Aren might be able to return attacks. But if Aren thought reflecting Razor's attack would make him suffer from his own strike, that was naive.

Facing the terrifying aura ball racing back toward him, Razor assumed a strange stance. His hands came together, thumbs forward, palms and forearms angled back. It was a proper two-handed receive from volleyball. The aura ball slammed into the platform formed by Razor's hands. After a brief struggle, Razor swung his arms and sent the ball back at Aren even faster. Aren's expression cooled. Razor really treated aura like a volleyball. And the Eliminate aura was still chasing him. He had grown tired of it.

Aren raised his right hand, palm facing the ground. A hollow white vortex spun beneath his palm like a small typhoon. The next instant, it spread outward. A wave similar to En expanded with Aren at its center, covering an eight-hundred-meter radius.

"ROOM." Razor stared at the now-expressionless Aren in shock.

'Is this En?'

'Can a human really create a range this ridiculous?' According to Zeno Zoldyck's later statement, his En could reach a radius of around three hundred meters. Based on that and Zeno's approximate aura level, a hundred thousand aura units might correspond roughly to one hundred meters of En. When Aren had parted from Biscuit, his visible aura had already reached six hundred thousand units. Around two months had passed since then.

With Aren's visible aura growing by one hundred thousand each month, he had now reached an absurd eight hundred thousand. That had officially surpassed the Royal Guards. His En, or rather ROOM, now reached an astonishing radius of roughly eight hundred meters. Razor was shocked by Aren's aura reserve and the range, but he still did not understand the purpose.

'Why release En in this situation?' Aren's strength made it clear he would not do something meaningless. That meant this field had a purpose Razor had not yet understood.
