HxH : Pokemon Master-Chapter 86: Am I Really This Strong?! Earthquake-like Impact!

The largest venue here was about to host the most anticipated match in history.

The competitors were the champion of the last martial arts tournament—"Deadly" Bruce!

And the newcomer who had recently made a name for himself—"Legend" Akira!

This match was hailed by the audience as the "Final Battle."

It referred to Akira last match!

Not long ago, Akira words during that live broadcast still echoed in everyone ears. At that time, except for a very few, most probably thought he was just talking nonsense.

In reality, Akira had proven himself to everyone with his strength!

"Welcome everyone to the match, which is about to begin."

"Will it be Deadly Bruce defending his champion throne, or will Legend Akira continue his winning streak?"

"Now, let's welcome our competitors to the stage!"

On a raised platform in the audience stands, the commentator stood there, enthusiastically delivering the opening remarks.

First to enter was the reigning champion—"Deadly" Bruce.

Bruce was a tall, thin man with sunken eyes and a gloomy expression. Just from his appearance, Bruce didn't seem like a decent person.

The title "Deadly" came from Bruce tendency to defeat his opponents in one move, often leaving them either dead or severely injured. Hence, he earned this title.

Bisky, sitting in the audience, focused her gaze, carefully scrutinizing this so-called reigning champion.

Something seemed a bit off? Why did it feel like Bruce strength was lower than expected?

Was he deliberately hiding his true power?

Bisky frowned slightly, pondering to herself. She assumed it was Bruce disguise, after all the title of martial arts champion couldn't be faked.

Unexpected, but reasonable.

Bruce entrance didn't stir much emotion among the audience, they were all waiting for the other person to appear. To put it bluntly, the audience was almost entirely here for Akira. In the eyes of the audience, the only thing useful about Bruce was his champion position.

What they wanted to see wasn't the champion defending his title, but the undefeated legend!

Of course, appearance also played a part in this...

"And now, entering the stage is the legend of Heaven's Arena— Akira!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the audience erupted into a wave of enthusiastic cheers, with almost everyone cheering for Akira. When Akira first walked out of the tunnel, he was a bit overwhelmed by the crowd on the stands shouting his name.

Some loyal fans had even made banners, which stood out prominently among the audience.

Hearing the stark difference in how the audience treated him compared to Bruce, Bruce already gloomy face turned even more unpleasant, exuding a dark aura.

I wonder how the Akira you all admire so much will react when he's pierced by my move in a blink!

Thinking this, Bruce revealed a bloodthirsty smile.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Akira calmly stepped onto the arena, staring directly at his opponent this time. Although it might disappoint the audience, this match would end very quickly.

Akira planned to test the newly developed branch of his Nen Ability in this final match! So this time, no Pokemon would take the field, he would handle it personally!

Name: Bruce

Strength: A

Nen Ability: Invisible Blade, Emission Type Can instantly release a blade-shaped Aura in a "hidden" state, piercing the opponent at extreme speed.

Restriction and Vow: Can only use it three times a day, maximizing the blade strength and speed.

When Akira first saw Bruce strength, he thought he might be mistaken. The top floor master of the Heaven's Arena and the champion of the last martial arts tournament shouldn't just be A-rank, right?

It wasn't until later that Akira realized Bruce was a sly one.

His strength didn't actually deserve the championship title, it was merely achieved through the immense limitations of his Restriction and Vow.

By using his Nen Ability only three times a day, he gained greater lethality!

Just from the information in the guide, Akira lost all interest in Bruce.

In his eyes, Bruce was far inferior to the "Iron Man" Jim from the previous match.

Better to finish him off quickly...

Thinking of what Hisoka had said before the match, Akira couldn't help but feel a bit of anticipation.

.....

Both sides had already taken their positions on the arena, waiting for the referee signal to start the match. At this moment, countless eyes were focused on the field, not to mention the live audience. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Beyond the venue, many were watching the broadcast, including Chairman Netero, Maha Zoldyck, and others.

If the audience was still wondering whether Akira would win, those who were aware of his strength naturally wouldn't even consider that question. They simply wanted to see how Akira would deal with his opponent.

Or rather, which Nen Beast he would use.

However, to their surprise, Akira had no intention of using a Pokemon in this match!

"The match... begins!"

As the referee announced the start, Bruce lips curled slightly, and his right index finger twitched.

An Aura blade, invisible to ordinary people, shot toward Akira at an incredible speed. Its target was Akira neck! He aimed to seal the throat in one move!

Bruce Aura blade was in the advanced application state of "Invisibility," something not even most Aura Users could detect. Moreover, perhaps due to some effect of the Aura, the blade Bruce sent out didn't produce any sound.

Everything happened in complete silence.

This was why, even though Bruce believed Akira was far stronger than himself, he still had confidence and dared to step onto the stage.

His Nen Ability, enhanced by Restriction and Vow, was fully capable of defeating someone stronger than him! If he really encountered such a powerhouse, he could simply surrender after three moves!

Most people at the scene didn't notice anything unusual, but Bisky faintly sensed something and furrowed her brow.

The two elders who were'nt present naturally saw clearly what was happening.

"Hehehe, an invisible blade, huh?"

"Indeed, it's hard for people at the same level to guard against."

"But Akira strength is even above mine~"

Maha quietly watched the invisible blade on the TV screen.

He muttered to himself, a meaningful smile appearing on his face. Silva stood behind Maha, silently watching the live broadcast.

"Hohoho, the effect of Invisibility, is it?"

"And judging from the intensity of the Aura on his body, the strength of that blade is clearly unreasonable..."

"Is it Restriction and Vow?"

Netero eyes burned as he stared at Akira on the screen.

How will you handle this? Will you use the Green Barrier from our last sparring match? Or perhaps...

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion echoed across the arena, its source—right in front of Akira!

"How is this possible?!"

Bruce pupils contracted, and he swallowed nervously, utterly disbelieving what he was seeing. Akira had actually caught his blade with his bare hand!!

Akira right hand, now positioned in front of him, looked as if it were gripping some hidden weapon. His hand was enveloped in an incredibly dense orange Aura, so intense that Bruce was left dumbfounded.

"How can he have so much Aura?!"

Bruce cried out in pain, gritting his teeth as he sent out the remaining two blades. If it came to it, he would just surrender!

But what he didn't know was that he wouldn't even have the chance to call for surrender...

"Boom! Boom!"

Akira casually shattered the two remaining blades with two swift movements, each accompanied by an explosion-like sound.

Wrapped in an overwhelming amount of Aura, Akira wasn't affected in the slightest.

At this point, Bruce completely gave up and immediately prepared to surrender to save his life.

The next second, an astonishing amount of Aura shot straight into the sky!!

In an instant, an overwhelming aura emanated from Akira, plunging Bruce into a chilling abyss.

The previously noisy audience also sensed this aura and immediately fell silent.

For a moment, the entire arena was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop!

In Bruce eyes, the world seemed to turn black, and he found himself unable to speak, as if his voice had been stolen. The air grew thick, making it difficult to transmit sound or even maintain basic breathing.

Bruce felt as if something was stuck in his throat, and he could only stare blankly as Akira walked toward him step by step.

At this moment, Akira appeared to Bruce like the Grim Reaper, each step filling him with terror.

'Damn it! What kind of monster is this?!'

'He's not human at all!!'

Bruce screamed inwardly, his face contorted in fear. Under the crushing pressure of Akira aura, he was completely at his mercy. Akira slowly raised his right hand, gathering a massive amount of Aura into it, while a sinister smile spread across his face.

Bruce three moves had all been aimed at his vital points!

For someone who was determined to kill him, Akira had only one way to deal with them. Equal treatment!

Surrendering and leaving the arena was out of the question. Under the overwhelming malice radiating from Akira, Bruce utterly speechless!

As Akira continued to accumulate Aura, his right hand shone as brightly as the blazing sun in the sky.

Seeing Akira radiant right hand suddenly strike toward him, Bruce knew...

It was over!

Dragon-type skill—Dragon Claw!!

"BOOM!!!"

Akira right hand, as indestructible as steel, struck Bruce with unstoppable force, continuing its momentum and slamming into the arena floor. With a deafening explosion, the arena looked as if it had been hit by an Aura Sphere.

It suddenly collapsed downward, transforming the once elevated platform into a deep pit, with a massive hole leading to the lower level at its center.

Countless dust and debris shot into the air, obscuring everyone vision.

An unimaginably powerful shockwave swept through the surroundings, forcing the audience to lean backward. People gritted their teeth, crossing their arms in front of their faces to withstand the intense aftermath, unable to even open their eyes.

Fortunately, the backrests of their chairs kept them from being blown away. Even so, they were tossed about like ragdolls, with almost no one able to maintain their seated position.

Some were sprawled on the ground, while others were knocked into the seats next to them. The massive audience area looked like a chaotic dance of demons.

Thick yellow dust filled the entire arena, spiraling upward into the sky. The tremendous impact not only caused the audience seats to shake violently but also made the entire Heaven's Arena tremble twice.

It felt like a major earthquake!

This was the power of an S-rank range fighter! And this was even after Akira deliberately held back. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been just a few tremors for the Heaven's Arena.

"Ahhh! What just happened?!"

"Was that an explosion? How could this happen?!"

"No way! Could this be the work of the Legendary Akira? It can't be!!"

The deafening roar left the audience unable to think clearly. It took them a long time to recover from the state of "utter chaos."

At this moment, the dust on the field had mostly dissipated, allowing everyone to clearly see the current situation.

Only Akira remained standing alone on the field, which had been transformed from a "hill" into a "canyon."

Through the drone footage, people could clearly see a massive hole beside Akira, leading directly to the lower level!

The commotion caused by Akira, broadcast live, left the audience across the six continents in a daze.

Could this really be something a human was capable of?

"This is!"

"To think he alone possesses such strength?!!"

Netero stared intently at the astonishing scene on the field, unable to hold back his exclamation. He even accidentally pulled out a few strands of his precious beard without realizing it.

All of Netero attention was now focused on Akira.

He knew Akira Nen Beast was strong, but he didn't expect Akira himself to wield such immense power. This once again left the old man feeling somewhat defeated.

"Isn't this a bit too exaggerated?"

Bisky said with a slight tremble in her voice, finding it hard to adjust to the shocking sight on the field. It was important to note that the arena itself was quite high, and it was constructed from specialized, extremely hard materials.

To punch through the arena and create a massive hole leading to the lower level... Wasn't this just a match? Wasn't the commotion a bit too much?

Hearing Bisky exclamation, Gon and Killua, who were beside her, simultaneously got up from the ground and exchanged a smile.

This was the Akira they knew!

"This is truly a monumental event in the history of the Heaven's Arena!"

"Legendary Akira has actually destroyed the arena!"

After a moment, the commentator finally regained her composure and, with utmost professionalism, continued her commentary.

Looking down from above, the commentator was even more shocked.

Apart from the spectator seats, the rest of the area was in complete disarray. Having worked at the Heaven's Arena for so many years, this was the first time she had witnessed such a horrifying scene.

Then, the arena fell into a deathly silence once again, as if history was repeating itself.

Akira previous Floor Master challenge had been the same.

However, this time was slightly better—at least the referee didn't passed out.

Akira stood on the stage with his arms crossed, calmly waiting for the announcement of the match result. Through the perception of his "En," he could sense that the referee was still alive, hidden in a corner of the arena.

"BOOM!"

In one corner of the arena, the battered referee suddenly lifted a layer of rubble that had been pressing down on him. Then, he crawled out from underneath, his clothes in tatters.

Only then did the audience realize that the referee had been buried under the debris.

Thankfully, the officials had assigned the strongest referee for this match.

Otherwise, he might not have even survived the residual shockwaves of Akira attack!

"Akira wins!"

Glancing at the terrifying scene, the still-shaken referee hurriedly announced the result. He was afraid that if he delayed even a second, Akira might unleash another attack on him.

Even if he had ten lives, it wouldn't be enough to withstand it!

As for not seeing Bruce? Unable to determine the match result? Come on.

The entire arena had been shattered.

Clearly, Bruce had already turned to ashes, so naturally, he was nowhere to be seen.
