Hisoka had just used brutal means to reconnect his fractured left arm, but the next moment, his right arm was blasted off with a single punch from Moses.
Flesh, blood, and shattered bone splattered across the deeply dented tree trunk.
While he was severely injured by the punch, but relying on his strong willpower, Hisoka managed to dodge to the side and quickly distanced himself from Moses.
Although the battle wasn't over yet, Hisoka, who has lost his dominant hand, has little chance of winning.
No-
As Moses had said, the outcome of this fight had been decided from the very beginning.
Whether or not there was a shadow clone didn't matter.
Whether more abilities were used or not didn't matter either.
The sheer gap in their strength made Moses an insurmountable mountain for Hisoka.
So today's battle-
Would be the last one.
From the moment this fight ended, Hisoka's obsession...
Would likely be severed for good.
Moses retracted his fist and didn't press the attack. He first glanced at the shattered remnants of Hisoka's arm left behind, then turned his gaze toward Hisoka, who had once again used his Bungee Gum to create distance.
At this point, the battle had lost all meaning.
But Hisoka clearly had no intention of giving up.
The evidence is that Hisoka's Aura still exudes killing intent that is thick enough to be tangible.
Undoubtedly-
Hisoka had already made his resolve at this moment.
For him, even if his combat power was diminished or even if his chances of winning were gone, he would fight until the very end.
And that 'very end' naturally meant death.
Hisoka's face twisted slightly, and there was no fear of death in his eyes.
He savored the victory that came after battle.
But he relished the process of battle even more...
Whoosh-
Hisoka's body descended from midair, until his feet touched the ground, leaving two grooves on the ground.
Within those grooves, traces of bright red blood were visible.
Drip, drip-
More and more blood seeped from the mangled flesh of Hisoka's shoulder.
However, once he steadied himself, Hisoka didn't even glance at the injury. Instead, he raised his head and locked eyes with Moses.
At this moment, he could already see the inevitable conclusion of this fight.
But as long as he could still move, he would never stop.
[Texture Surprise]
He grabbed a handful of grass and debris from the ground, wrapped it in his pink Aura, and then pressed it tightly against the bloody mess of his right shoulder.
In an instant, the gruesome wound vanished, replaced by smooth, flawless skin.
The superficial cover-up wasn't the point, as what is important was sealing off all the bleeding blood vessels.
After hastily treating his injuries, Hisoka pushed his Aura to its limits, letting it surge violently across his body like a raging current.
Moses looked at Hisoka's stance and asked calmly, "Do you still want to continue..."
"…"
Hisoka didn't answer.
Or rather-
When Moses asked this question, Hisoka had already launched an attack with his Aura flaring wildly.
This is his answer.
Moses's lips curled slightly, and then he flashed past Hisoka in an instant.
Squelch-
The two figures passed each other.
But what remained in the air was a spinning arm.
That is Hisoka's left arm.
Speed, strength, and even Nen Techniques and Manifested Aura-
There are obvious gaps in all the matchup data, which leads to the current result.
After cutting off Hisoka's left arm with one blow, Moses suddenly stopped, then pivoted on his foot, and reversed his movement, lunging toward Hisoka's back.
[Gyo: Phase Force]
A bright Aura was condensed on the fist that was thrown forward.
At this moment, Hisoka kicked out, shooting a strand of Bungee Gum toward Moses's knee.
However, the pink Bungee Gum, which should have followed its intended trajectory, suddenly veered upward without warning and hit Moses's incoming fist instead.
Seeing this, Hisoka's pupils contracted sharply.
'It just looks like a basic Gyo...'
The bizarre phenomenon played out once more, and this time, Hisoka saw it more clearly, but it only deepened his confusion.
'It was just a fist concentrated with a dense amount of Aura...'
'So why was it able to absorb my Bungee Gum?'
Hisoka didn't understand.
And he had no time left to figure it out.
Moses's fist, with the pink Bungee Gum, smashed violently into Hisoka's abdomen.
Boom!
A powerful white shockwave erupted from the point of impact.
The terrifying impact that followed instantly bent Hisoka's body like a shrimp.
"Pfft-"
Suffering a severe blow, Hisoka bent over and spat out a large mouthful of thick blood.
Despite bearing the full force of the punch, Hisoka didn't go flying backward, because Moses's fist was stuck to him with Bungee Gum, which kept him glued in place.
But it didn't matter anymore.
As Moses's ferocious punch had directly knocked Hisoka unconscious.
"This is the end, Hisoka..."
Looking down at Hisoka's tense and arched back, Moses murmured softly.
Because Hisoka lost consciousness, Bungee Gum and Texture Surprise applied to his body all lost effect in an instant.
Moses easily pulled back his arm and immediately took two steps back, letting Hisoka's body to crash heavily onto the ground with a dull sound.
As Texture Surprise faded, the smooth skin on Hisoka's right shoulder reverted to dirty scraps of grass and leaves, mixed with the bloody wound, making it look utterly miserable.
[You have fulfilled Hisoka's long-cherished desire. Your Cornerstone: Texture Surprise: +1.]
As the battle ended, a voice from Perception rang out from deep within Moses's consciousness.
"Truly, you never disappoint me... my dearest, strongest leek."
With inexplicable emotions, Moses crouched down and lightly pressed a hand against the back of Hisoka's head.
Before this battle, he had wondered whether he could get a reward from Perception...
But the fight had been too easy.
Even if Moses had restrained himself from using more Nen Abilities, and even deliberately controlled the strength of his attack in order to prolong the battle...
It didn't change the fact that the fight had been effortless.
So, after the battle ended, Moses had already given up on expecting a reward.
But he didn't expect that Perception would still give him a reward.
This couldn't help but make Moses deeply emotional.
Looking back at all the rewards he had received, the one who had provided the most was undoubtedly his strongest leek, Hisoka.
'Thank you, Hisoka.'
'Thank you for your hard work, Hisoka.'
Moses withdrew his hand, then slowly stood up, and his gaze towards Hisoka gradually became deeper.
'If the train had reached its destination...'
'Then it meant the 'journey' was over.'
