Conrad knew that right now even twenty percent of Neferpitou or Youpi would be a big problem for him.
But that did not mean that he could not try to fight against them in the Sleeping Beast ability. The whole reason he created this ability is to fight against targets that he should not fight with his current ability and gain more experience.
"Okay..."
With his words, the scenery changed, and he entered a big plain area. In front of him, about one hundred meters in the distance, Neferpitou stood up.
"Let's see..."
"The speed of Neferpitou would not give many chances to me to dodge."
"I at least need to dodge the lunge attack of hers, and then I can fight against her without much of a problem."
Conrad always felt impressed whenever he remembered that Neferpitou lunged to attack Kite.
Her speed at that time was one of the best feats of speed that are in the series.
Only a few people can react to such an attack.
Conrad got ready and then willed it.
With his will, the ability activated, the simulated Neferpitou looked at him and then lunged.
This was not a lunge that she powered up before, so it was not that fast.
"Fuck!" Conrad thought for a moment and vanished using Blink instead of moving.
He appeared one hundred meters towards the left.
His, En felt the nen of Neferpitou in a moment; Conrad quickly whispered and then activated the use of his blade, blocking the claw attack of Neferpitou in the last second.
Even when he blocked it, he was sent about fifty meters to the air.
The physical power, coupled with speed and nen, of Neferpitou still dealt him damage even with his use of nen.
"This is too absurd."
"How? I am going to fight against this." Conrad said to himself as he blocked one more attack from Neferpitou.
If not for his En being active and him being able to feel the attacks of Neferpitou, he could not dodge or block any attack of hers.
One and two, and after several more attacks, Neferpitou jumped to the sky and dived down.
Conrad dodged to the left and counter-attacked, slashing with his blade. Neferpitou blocked the blade with her left arm while she used Gyo, and then she back-flipped, kicking with the tips of her feet to the head of Conrad.
"Thump!"
The backflip and the kick to the chin hit too hard on Conrad and made him dizzy for about one second, and then the scene turned black.
Neferpitou did not give him any chance to block. Due to him already having a hard time blocking, he did not have any power to block the attack of Neferpitou's claws after the kick.
"I don't believe this..."
Conrad said to himself as he opened his eyes back in his room.
"I wonder if the result would be different if I were to use my orbs too..."
"The sleeping beast can only simulate up to ten to twenty percent..."
"So, I fought the ten percent of Neferpitou; still, I was only able to dodge some of her attacks, and one kick from her damaged me enough to stop me from being able to dodge for a second."
"One second in such a high-stakes battle decides the result of the battle."
Conrad got up from the floor and entered the shower.
While he washed himself, he kept on thinking.
He knew that Sleeping Beast still could not reflect all the situations of a battle. The fact that he knew that he was in the Sleeping Beast made Conrad himself not fight that seriously.
"Kite was able to fight with Neferpitou some time..."
"But it may be because of his ability, and Neferpitou wanted to have more fun."
"Considering she is cat-like, it would be not too shocking for her to play with her food."
"Hmm..." Conrad thought.
"In the end."
"I still need more training, more experience, and also an increase in my general capability in terms of physical qualities."
"Without having enough physical power, agility, endurance, and such basic powers, I cannot fight directly with the Royal Guards..."
Conrad knew that enemies like royal guards are rare in the nen world and his physical capability is enough to handle most human enemies.
But, against Royal Guards, he still lacks a lot of power...
"Okay..."
Conrad left the shower and sat down on his chair and started writing his next plans.
"After I deal with Leorio to make him a nen user that is capable of understanding his aura type, I will quickly finish the Poison Condition of my new ability."
"Then, I will create a manipulator ability that is effective on the ordinary people that also improves me..."
"I will make it so that the improvement will be in the basic qualities..."
"If I have the speed of Neferpitou and endurance and defensive capability of Youpi, adding to my own abilities, including my resistance capabilities..."
Conrad could not help but shake from excitement.
"Okay..."
"That is a great plan."
"I think I will be finishing up with these plans in at least six months of time."
"Six months..."
"It will be around the time when Gon and Killua are in Greed Island, training with Biscuit Krueger and dealing with the Bomber..."
Conrad nodded.
"About eight months later, the Chimera Ant Arc will start in the original series."
"I suppose, at that time, I should have enough power to fight against a real royal guard with my new abilities."
"I should be able to create two more abilities, not including this resistance ability..."
Conrad let out a cold breath.
"A resistance ability."
"A manipulator-specialist ability that will work on ordinary people while helping me to increase my power without harming the ordinary people to not gather attention..."
"A third ability that would help me more in the battle, something like Orbs but also different..."
Conrad then left his room to spend some time outside.
The fight with Neferpitou was interesting and also eye-opening; he died to twenty percent of Neferpitou in less than ten seconds while she was not playing.
Then, he needs more power and training; that is for sure.
