Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 254: Chaos Roar Must Be Mastered
In the distance, Germain's Chaos Roar and Netero's Hundred-style Guanyin were fighting fiercely, and the sound of explosions continued.

Zeno and Shiba father and son couldn't help but look at each other, and saw the astonishment in each other's expressions.

Due to the limitations of the rules and venue, they were unable to use their full strength during the martial arts duel with German a few days ago.

By the same token, they also thought that German must not have used his full strength and must have been hiding something.

But they never expected that when Germain used his trump card, he would unleash such energy that it was enough to compete with Netero's Hundred-style Guanyin.

This scene is truly spectacular!

Germain's Chaos Roar was only for defense and not for attack, but it managed to block every attack from Netero's Hundred-Shiki Guanyin.

His performance was good enough.

Unfortunately, the condition for his victory is to dodge Netero's attacks more than ten times in a row.

It is not enough to just block the attack.

Netero didn't have the energy to talk nonsense, he also needed to concentrate now.

Just now, his attacks on German had failed twice in a row, so he decided that he had to increase his intensity!

Hundred Styles of Guanyin·The 85th Style!
Chaos Roars Back!

As Netero blasted out golden palm wind, his breathing became rapid.

He found that he had already used the 85th form, and German still adapted to it.

Most importantly, German began to change his strategy. He stopped doing more activities and used Chaos Roaring Body to resist the bombardment of Hundred Styles Guanyin.

Chaos Roar can either block the attack of Hundred Styles Guanyin or take the attack with its body.

As a result, Netero's attacks have failed to hit Germain for four consecutive times!

If, in human form, maintaining the formation surrounded by materialized weapons is the ultimate expression of the materialization system, the transformation system, and the operation system.

Then his materialized mind beast will have an enhanced performance that is enough to compete with my Hundred-style Guanyin.

Perhaps there are still abilities of release and transformation that have not yet been demonstrated, or maybe...

Netero raised the corner of his mouth.

Hundred Styles of Guanyin·99th Style!
Boom boom boom boom——

The dazzling golden bombardment suppressed the roar of chaos as it swung its claws and danced wildly in the air.

The fluctuations of mental energy made the forests and mountains seem like a hurricane.

Fallen leaves, branches, and dust were all flying in the air in a mess, and even the sky became a little darker.

"Roar--"

The roar of chaos once again tore apart the offensive of Hundred Styles Guanyin, creating a hole in the originally airtight golden world!
Germain emerged from it and shot towards Netero like an arrow.

Netero felt the murderous intent coming towards him and his eyes narrowed.

The rules do not allow a direct attack on me. Has his sanity been devoured by his bloodthirsty desire?
Let him wake up...

Netero was about to put his palms together to trap the oncoming Germain, but suddenly he realized that Germain's aura had weakened, like a kerosene lamp that was gradually dimming.

boom--

The next moment, German fell headfirst to the ground.

The mental energy in his body suddenly dissipated, and the chaotic roar stopped for a moment and then disappeared.

Only the dark crown on his head and Netero's Hyakushiki Kannon still remain.

what happened?
Netero narrowed his eyes and retracted his Hundred Styles of Guanyin's palm strike.

Could it be that he is still unable to control this power and cannot bear its cost for long?
It seems that not allowing Germann to attack this rule has hit the sore spot of his ability.

Only by using that mind beast can he compete with me who uses the Hundred Styles of Guanyin.

Once he used the power of the mind beast, the burden he had to bear at every moment required him to act quickly and decisively.

Netero closed his palms, and the Hundred-style Guanyin disappeared. He walked in front of Germain and saw that Germain had climbed up, with the dark crown still hanging on his head.

"What is the price for you to use this ability?"

German rubbed his swollen temple, stood up, his eyes bloodshot.

"It's stress. It's the damage to my mind and spirit. The dark crown you see is the embodiment of stress and torture."

Whenever he uses Chaos Roar, the Dark Crown of Torment will appear, but without the characteristics of fear, paranoia, selfishness, masochism, etc.

Netero understood.

"Then...what will happen if this kind of stress and torture continues to accumulate?"

"If this continues to accumulate, I will become insane and eventually die of exhaustion."

"How did you solve this problem before? You can't just let the stress torture you all the time, right?"

"The torture of the Dark Crown will disappear on its own after half an hour. As for the pressure, there are currently only four ways to reduce it."

Germain held up four fingers, and with each word he spoke he retracted one until he made a fist.

"Miss Cookie, the magic beautician of Biscuit, the food of the food hunter, the cards of Greed Island, and the critical hit."

German's championship halo is a way to relieve some of the pressure when it occurs, not a way to reduce pressure after it occurs, so it is not counted.

Netero stroked his white beard.

"Biscuit and the Gourmet Hunter are not here, so the only means you can rely on are Greedy Island cards and critical hits. I roughly know the cards, but what is a critical hit?"

German briefly explained the definition.

Netero hesitated for a moment and then smiled.

"If that's the case, things would be simple."

Simple? Germain was a little confused.

Netero smiled and said:
"As long as you keep hitting critical hits, you can control the pressure to a certain extent and avoid being exhausted, right?"

"Keep delivering critical hits"?
Germain pursed his lips.

This kind of thing is not that easy.

The number of critical hits he had in various battles over the past year added up to less than a hundred times.

The number of critical hits in key battles was less than ten.

Although Germann possesses traits such as Human Nemesis, Beast Nemesis, and Evil Nemesis that can increase the probability of critical hits, he cannot make critical hits continuous or normal.

Netero's words were really unreasonable, just like the rules of the game he set.

He couldn't help but think of Biscuit's comments about Netero.

"He is like this. He often gives me or my subordinates tasks that should take a year or two to complete, but he tells them to be completed within one or two months."

Netero's current request is the same.

"German, I don't care what method you use to trigger the critical hit and reduce the pressure. I'm here, and the final time limit will not change."

"You can escape, you can admit defeat, whatever you want during this period of time, and I will abide by the agreement and wait until 22:0 on the nd. After that, I will announce my victory."

"German, value your time and make your own judgment."

"If you're not careful, you might not even be able to participate in the Chimera Ant Final Battle. You might die from exhaustion or leave in disgrace."

"This is my reminder to you. Well, let's stop here for today."

Netero turned and walked away.

He picked up his discarded clogs.

After putting it on, he talked with Zeno and Silba for a while, pointed in the direction of German, said something, and then returned to the airship.
