Golem is a six-meter-tall conjured robot.
Both its ability and appearance bore the distinct style of a cooperative combat type.
He could use his ability to transform his steel arms into firepower weapons equipped with small cockpits.
The reason it was called a Cooperative-Type Ability was that it could only provide the weaponry, while the 'ammunition' had to be supplied by other Emission-Type Nen Users.
This meant that, without considering ammunition and endurance, Golem could focus all its ability on evolving into a sci-fi-style robot that surpassed current military weaponry.
This was precisely the reason why the Stone Wall Task Force was able to create an undefeated myth on the battlefield.
At the very least, in terms of frontal firepower, with an ammunition provider, Golem was unmatched.
On the Hunter Association's side, as a Triple-Star Terrorist Hunter, Botobai had heard of the Stone Wall Task Force, a legendary mercenary team active on the battlefield.
Because of the antagonistic relationship with Beyond's team, Botobai had also conducted in-depth investigations into the relevant information of the Stone Wall Task Force.
Among them, the most troublesome was undoubtedly Golem, this cooperative-type conjured weapon.
Therefore, before a direct confrontation, Botobai wouldn't be so arrogant as to face Golem's firepower head-on.
On this point, he didn't need to remind his teammates before the battle.
After all, regarding the exploration of the Dark Continent and the preparations for facing Beyond's team, intelligence team had already thoroughly briefed them on the key points.
The only thing was…
He wasn't entirely sure if Kanzai had memorized all this critical intel.
Botobai and the other Zodiacs' members focused their attention on Golem, while Ging and Hisoka immediately set their sights on Marione.
This golden-haired girl in a sailor uniform, with her striking mechanical style, clearly exuded a stronger Aura than the other members of the Beyond's team.
In terms of pure strength, she was undoubtedly the second-in-command of Beyond's team.
The moment Hisoka and Ging looked at Marione, they had already reached this conclusion in their minds.
In other words-
If they could suppress Golem, the cooperative-type combatant, and Marione, the strongest among the enemy, in the upcoming team battle...
Then the Hunter Association's chances of winning this fight would be 100%.
The direct confrontation hadn't even begun, but Ging had already seen the opportunity for 'how to crush the enemy'.
So, Ging ignored Hisoka's barely contained battle lust and took the first step forward, looking at Marione, who radiated an overwhelming Aura.
"Aside from Beyond, you're the strongest one here, right?"
"…"
Hearing Ging's sharp, unsubtle words, Marione didn't respond. Her pitch-black eyes showed no trace of light.
However, Ging didn't care about Marione's silence and even took it as confirmation.
"On our side, besides Moses, I am the strongest person, so it's only fair that I take you on, don't you think?"
Pulling his hands out of his pockets, Ging took another step forward. The usual carefree expression on his face was gone, replaced by a rare seriousness.
To win this team battle with minimal losses, he had to suppress this sailor-suited android girl in a one-on-one fight and secure a decisive victory.
And his declaration of a 'fair arrangement' wasn't entirely for Beyond's team's benefit.
Well…
When there was a battle maniac on the team, he had to at least consider their feeling before choosing his opponent.
Hisoka glanced at Ging's back and felt a little bored.
Like Ging, he had judged that Marione was the strongest among the enemies the moment they met.
So his first target was Marione.
Even though the prey he had his eyes on was snatched away by Ging, the statement that he was 'second-strongest' left Hisoka with no way to refute it.
In response to Ging's direct challenge, Marione finally responded.
The battle between the two sides was on the verge of breaking out.
Meanwhile-
Beyond was sent flying far away by Moses's punch.
He didn't suffer any substantial damage, nor did he attempt to disperse the force.
Because flying away from the area where both teams were stationed was exactly what Beyond wanted, and what Moses wanted as well.
One-on-one.
Both parties shared the same thought.
A fierce gale began to stir in all directions.
Beyond's body crashed through the wind, but he had to land eventually.
Adjusting his posture slightly, he planted his feet on the smooth rocky ground, sliding for a distance before coming to a steady stop.
"Happy now?"
Beyond raised his head and looked at Moses, who had closed the distance with lightning speed.
This spot was far enough from both teams.
Moses stopped thirty meters away from Beyond and replied, "What, are you fishing for compliments?"
"Hah."
Upon hearing this, Beyond wasn't annoyed. Instead, he burst into laughter.
"You and the old man are quite similar. With you as his successor, the Hunter Association won't become boring. But since things have come to this... today, only one of us will walk away alive."
"…"
Moses fell silent for a moment.
Beyond's words almost sounded like regret, regret that the Hunter Association was about to lose a newly appointed but truly capable Chairman.
Moses stared at Beyond, his tone devoid of any fluctuation.
"This will be your burial place."
As soon as he finished speaking, Moses struck fiercely.
He didn't throw out his Black Sword or use any other method as a probe or setup.
Instead, he simply stomped on the rocky ground, his body shooting toward Beyond like an arrow.
This aggressive assault carried the unmistakable stamp of an Enhancer.
However, Beyond knew full well that Moses was a Specialist, meaning his Enhancement Affinity Correction Rate was at an absolute disadvantage.
Even if he could compensate for the disparity in Nen Categories with sheer Manifested Aura, there was no need to go this far.
So, what was the purpose?
Beyond didn't waste too much time thinking about this problem.
Because in his opinion, no matter what tactics Moses intended to employ in battle, as an Enhancer, he should be fearless in the face of any challenge.
If he lacked such conviction-
Then he would be unworthy of his name and abilities.
[Unity of Knowledge and Action]
Facing Moses's frontal assault, Beyond activated his Nen ability, condensing a turbulent mass of Aura around his massive fists.
A head-on clash-
He wasn't even afraid of Netero's 100-Type Guanyin, let alone a Specialist like Moses.
Seeing the stance Beyond adopted in that split second, Moses instantly saw through his intentions.
And this was exactly the outcome Moses wanted.
'Very good.'
Moses thought to himself, then abruptly accelerated, closing the distance to Beyond in an instant.
Then, without any flourish, he slashed at Beyond's vitals with his sword.
From the very beginning, Moses had no intention of relying on tactical strategies to deal with Beyond.
What he wanted was to crush Beyond in a direct confrontation.
