"You bastard!!!"
"Uvogin!!!"
On the hillside, Feitan and Nobunaga, who had been watching the situation the whole time, instantly changed expression and charged out at top speed!
Clang!
Franklin raised his Double Machine Gun again, Machi released her Nen threads with a dark look on her face, and Shalnark took out his phone with a grave expression.
Before Feitan and the others could even get close, Ilo casually fired a Ki blast in their direction.
"Watch out~!"
Feitan and Nobunaga's combat instincts made them stop at once and step back.
Boom!
The Ki blast landed in front of them and blasted open a huge crater.
"You bastard~!!!" The two of them looked terrifyingly grim.
"Take it easy~ take it easy~! We're allies. I'm not going to do anything that would hurt Uvogin~"
That smile seemed permanently fixed on Ilo's face.
"You cut off Uvogin's arm, and you still say you didn't hurt a comrade?" Nobunaga's hand had already clenched around his sword hilt so tightly that it looked as if the blade might leave the sheath the very next second.
Feitan said nothing, but the narrowed look in his eyes said everything.
"Relax~" Ilo said, then fired another Ki blast, blasting Porcupine's hair restraints and Uvogin's severed left hand into fragments.
"This is bad!"
Originally, even after Uvogin's arm had been cut off, Machi still could have stitched it back on with her Nen threads. But this guy had actually blown it to pieces!
"How do you want to die?" Feitan asked in a dark voice.
Clearly, he was genuinely enraged.
"I already said I don't mean any harm. Why won't you believe me?" Ilo spread his hands, sounding helpless.
Uvogin, standing right in front of Ilo, said nothing.
Mainly because Ilo was not giving off the slightest trace of killing intent.
A man like Uvogin, who had walked out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, was extremely sensitive to killing intent. And the person in front of him truly did not have even a shred of it.
"What exactly are you trying to do?" Uvogin asked instead, having calmed down. He might be reckless, but he was also rough on the outside and careful on the inside.
If this Number 12 really meant him harm, then with the state his body was currently in, he would already be dead.
"I told you already, I'm helping you~~~"
"This is what you call helping me?" Uvogin glanced at his right arm.
"It's just one arm. Don't worry about it~" As Ilo spoke, he raised his right hand, which began to glow with golden light.
Then he sent that golden radiance toward Uvogin, and the latter's whole body became wrapped in light.
Dende's Healing Technique!
"What's this guy doing now?" Feitan had already pulled his hand out of his pocket.
"Hm?" Unlike the hostility of the other Troupe members, Uvogin, the person involved, actually felt very comfortable.
Then he felt his right arm start itching.
"Hm?!!"
"No way!!!"
"There's actually something like this? You've got to be kidding!!!"
"Hey, hey, is this for real?!"
Every member of the Phantom Troupe saw what was happening to Uvogin, and that was precisely why they found it so unbelievable.
Under the glow of that light, Uvogin's right arm directly regrew!!!
When the light faded, Uvogin stood up and swung his right arm around, only to discover that it was no different from before at all!!!
"You bastard, so you've got a Nen ability like this! Not bad at all!!!"
Uvogin grinned widely, his eyes full of excitement.
After all, support-type Nen users with medical abilities like this were exactly the kind of people the Phantom Troupe wanted the most.
They were wanted criminals being hunted down, while also carrying out all sorts of crimes themselves. Suffering severe injuries was practically an everyday occurrence for them.
That was why healing-type Nen users were especially precious to them.
But people who developed abilities like this either held important positions in the Hunter Association, served as private doctors to some great tycoon, or worked in elite hospitals. Who would come out and become a criminal for no reason?
"This really is incredible! It's my first time seeing a Nen ability that can regenerate severed limbs." Nobunaga's hand fell away from his sword, though a trace of shock still remained on his face.
"Mm~ a Nen user like this should be exactly the kind the Boss likes most, right?" Shalnark put his phone away and said quietly.
Beside him, Franklin lowered all ten of his fingers as well. "Uvogin's standing again, which means the neurotoxin in his body was neutralized too, right~ What a strange ability."
"By the way, Franklin, didn't you say this guy was an Emission-Type?" Machi, now calm again, suddenly asked.
"That's because when I fought him, he fired a huge blue ball of light, so I mistook him for an Emission-Type user~"
"A blue ball of light? The same kind of light ball he used to stop me and Nobunaga, and to blow up that Shadow Beast?" Feitan stared at the giant crater in front of him, his expression serious.
"Yeah." Franklin nodded.
"Looks like this man has quite a few secrets on him. Well~ he's strong, and he also has such a miraculous healing ability. That's only beneficial to the Phantom Troupe."
Shizuku gave that conclusion.
"But we still can't decide that this man is truly one of us. After all, when he cut off Uvogin's arm just now, he didn't hesitate in the slightest."
Feitan said heavily. Suspicious by nature, he still did not trust Ilo.
…
On the other side, with the Nostrade bodyguard team—
"The Shadow Beasts... were completely wiped out~!" Squala's voice trembled. "And that masked guy actually chopped off his own comrade's arm, then restored it and made it grow back!"
What had happened on the battlefield had already gone far beyond what Squala's worldview could bear. Were they really all human?
"That speed and strength are terrifying. He can cut off a Shadow Beast's head in an instant, and even the light balls he fires casually can cause explosions with this much power. There's no way people like us can deal with someone like that."
Beside him, Basho wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his face full of fear.
"That explosion…" Kurapika had watched everything that happened on the field. In particular, the scene caused by that explosion felt more and more familiar the longer he looked at it.
"It was during the second phase of the Hunter Exam, when Roy fought Chairman Netero…"
