Chapter 76 People Have Arrived
Meanwhile, Phinks and Eligi's group also clashed.
Phinks is an Enhancer. While his strength doesn't seem as explosive as Uvogin's, it's only slightly weaker. In arm wrestling matches within the Phantom Troupe, Phinks is stronger than Hisoka.
However, in terms of speed, Phinks is much faster than Uvogin.
Phinks' immediate goal was to twist off the head of Eligi, the weakest but with the most bizarre abilities.
When Eligi faced such a powerful opponent for the second time, his thoughts were a little slower, but his actions couldn't keep up, and his head was twisted off by the opponent.
It appeared to be powerless to resist and died instantly.
Hinata was the only martial arts expert on their side, and she immediately went up to fight Phinks.
Hinata's palm strikes were incredibly fast, forcing Phinks to retreat continuously.
However, Phinks glanced at Gaara beside him out of the corner of his eye and saw that he was watching expressionlessly without making a move, so he made a guess:
"She didn't make a move, so it seems the head she just twisted off was fake. But what's wrong with this woman? Her attack was so powerful; is she also an Enhancement user?"
In reality, Hinata's strength wasn't as great as one might imagine; it was just that her powerful aura made her attacks seem incredibly strong.
Phinks kicked Hinata back, then began to rotate his arm joints in a move called "Rotation".
The more times the arm rotates during "Return to Heaven," the greater the force of the punch; the rotation is somewhat similar to charging up before a powerful move.
"Interrupt his charge!" Eligi appeared beside Gaara at some point and warned him.
Hinata briefly gathered her energy before unleashing "Eight Trigrams Empty Palm."
Phinks sensed danger and had no choice but to stop rotating his arm and dodge.
"Boom—" Hinata cleaved a crater several meters deep into the ground. Seeing Phinks' eyelids twitching wildly beside her, she wondered again, "Is it an Emission Type?"
Users of the Emission type of Nen can ensure that their ki retains its powerful force even after leaving their body.
Those who release Nen abilities are therefore adept at mid- to long-range Nen attacks and controlling Nen beasts.
"His close-range combat skills are not weak, and he can also deal considerable damage at mid-range. There are also two people watching him. This is really troublesome." Phinks felt like he was in a tough fight, which felt somewhat absurd.
"Hehehe, it's been a long time since I've felt this excited." Finks clenched his fist again and started spinning it.
Enhancement-type Nen techniques are usually better the simpler they are. Like Uvogin, who can cause considerable damage simply by concentrating his aura in his fist.
Phinks, being an Enhancer, naturally follows the same principle, concentrating all his will on his spinning fist to unleash power far exceeding his own strength.
However, the power generated in this way also has drawbacks, namely that Phinks cannot control the force of his punch after the number of rotations.
This isn't a problem against weaker enemies, but it can be troublesome against stronger ones.
After all, power doesn't come from nothing; no matter how much force you exert, it ultimately comes out of Phinks.
If not controlled properly, one may exhaust all their energy and fall into a coma.
Therefore, Phinks usually controls the number of rotations to single digits. A single-digit rotation only takes Phinks less than a second and will not allow the enemy to dodge easily.
"Dust Release: Thousand Body." Eligi made his move, his ten fingers interlaced, and then many tiny barrier senbon appeared around Phinks. All of these senbon crossed and pierced down at the location where Phinks was.
The Finks were interrupted, and the six previous rotations of "Return to Heaven" were reduced to zero.
This is the mechanism of "Reversal of Fortune"—you must complete the power accumulation in one go, otherwise you have to start accumulating power all over again.
"Tch!" Finks was very annoyed at being interrupted, thinking to himself that Eligi had no martial ethics and actually interfered in other people's battle.
At that moment, Hinata attacked again: "Gentle Step: Twin Lion Fists".
Hinata conjured blue lion heads the size of her own head in her fists, which greatly increased the range and power of her attacks.
If Finks were accidentally bumped, he would slide half a meter away on the spot.
"If I get hit by that, it'll probably be a real problem!" Phinks frowned, his eyebrows furrowing, looking rather serious.
But Phinks was still confident he could defeat Hinata, and then retreated while rotating his arm.
"Drink!" Phinks spun his fist around a few times and then collided with Hinata's fist.
"Bang—"
Hinata and Phinks' fists collided, creating an effect that was evenly matched, and generating a powerful shockwave.
"Ah!" Finks yelled, and then rammed into him again with the same number of laps.
"Bang—"
The paving stones on the ground shattered, and Finks slid backward a short distance.
"What the hell? The opponent actually got stronger during the battle?" Phinks was a little confused.
It's not that Hinata's strength has increased, but rather that she has learned to better control her powerful abilities through sparring with skilled opponents.
If Uvogin were here, he might be excited about exchanging punches like this.
Unfortunately, Phinks wasn't the type to rely on brute force, so he quickly distanced himself from Hinata and started running around her.
During the process, one naturally rotates their arms to build up strength.
Hinata was extremely agile, and in the blink of an eye, she was running alongside Phinks, which surprised Phinks. He felt that Hinata was a combination of Feitan and Uvogin, and she was very difficult to deal with.
"Damn it, take another punch!" Phinks swung his fist and collided with Hinata's.
"Bang—"
After their fists collided, both of them took a step back, clearly indicating that Phinks's "Return" and Hinata's attack were evenly matched.
"The opponent's power has increased again?" Phinks was no longer surprised, but rather numb.
"Watch out, they're coming again," Machi warned, then saw a masked man on a building in the distance—it was Kakashi.
Kakashi, accompanied by Kiba and Shino, also came over.
In this way, Eligi's side has eight people, while the other side only has four, and one of them is Uvogin, who has no legs.
But at this moment, members of the brigade also arrived; they were members number one, two, and seven.
Number one is Nobunaga, a samurai wielding a longsword; number two is Feitan, dressed in a black skull outfit; and number seven is Franklin, whose earlobes reach his chest and who is over two meters tall.
This time, the group sent seven people, so there wasn't much difference in numbers between the two sides.
"Uvogin, where are your legs?" Nobunaga jogged to Uvogin's side and looked surprised to see that Uvogin had no legs. It seemed that the enemy was very troublesome, as they had managed to take away Uvogin's legs.
