Chapter 84 - 13: Victory and escape (1/2)

”I'm going to lose if this keeps up, the Counteractive Hatsu types are too powerful.”

Counteractive Nen abilities activate after the user takes damage and return it to the assailant.

Since the ability user strikes second, they run more risks, which increases the power of the ability.

The greater the damage suffered, the stronger the ensuing counter, the most effective ways to neutralize a counteractive-type Nen user are to incapacitate them without injuring them or to kill them with one blow; however, some of them can even utilize death as an activation condition.

”I have to finish this fight in one blow.”

A ball of nen gradually formed in front of James who kept his palms together.

”I need to create a new program.”

James' concentration was at its peak as the air around him began to evaporate and the black sun slowly approached him.

The consistency of the ball of nen slowly began to change becoming softer as drops of sweat covered James' forehead.

”Program: float, expand, compress, stabilization, advance, release.....float, expand, compress, stabilization, advance, release... float, expand, compress, stabilization, advance, release....”

James kept repeating the program he had imagined as if it were engraved in his mind before inserting his palms into the nen ball and opening them, blue lightning bolts went through his arm and surrounded the nen ball.

Then he threw the ball in the direction of the black sun, the nen ball suddenly swelled from 10cm to 60m, then was compressed from 90m in diameter to 2m and collided with the black sun.

”Release!” James screams as he snaps his fingers.

A compressed ball containing two shock waves that could shave everything in a radius of 80m suddenly exploded, half a second of silence took place and then a heavy noise resounded in the air.

*Bam*

The black sun changed its trajectory projected by a powerful force, Feitan suddenly felt a shock go through his body then the next second, he spat blood, his nose and ears bleeding, he died instantly victim of many internal bleeding, the line of Machi broke, the armor around his body disappeared along with the black sun, he then fell into the void.

The glass windows of all the buildings in the area broke, causing shards of glass were projected in all directions, displacement waves cause light objects to become high velocity missiles which may cause lacerations or penetrating wounds.

A few unlucky people attending the Bayloke Hotel explosion were even injured by the debris, but no one died, some people below had fainted, while others fell to the ground coughing as if they had just been punched in the lungs.

James coughing up blood, jumped up and entered through the broken window of the building.

He fell to the ground while coughing and then slowly got up again.

”I will have to avoid using techniques that I do not master.” He murmured as he wiped the blood off his feet then walked to the stairs further down.

James had had the idea for a long time to merge his nen balls with his shock wave alchemy but he had never been able to put this idea into practice because his aura reserve in FMA and in his world was too low but he would never have thought that it would create such a deadly attack.
