Chapter 249: Chapter 249 A Skilled Opponent?!
Franklin was unsure of the nature of the black spherical entity that could switch forms so effortlessly.
At the same time, considering that Wright can resist the attack of his Double Machine Gun...
Franklin naturally made the decision to deal with the black sphere first.
Bang bang bang-
His fingers rotated, continuously shooting out Nen bullets, forming a fast arc trajectory towards the shadow sphere in mid-air.
With no way to avoid it, Moses could only resort to the same tactic, transforming the shadow sphere into shadow form.
The gravitational force that suddenly appeared pulled the shadow down to the ground immediately.
But Franklin had already experienced the shadow sphere's ability to switch forms.
Prepared as he was, he merely adjusted his aim downward, causing the Nen bullets to strike the shadow.
The immense force instantly shattered the shadow.
In order to deal with the potential threat posed by the shadow, Franklin wasted several seconds.
And these few seconds were enough for Wright to reach Franklin's side at an explosive speed.
In order to shorten the distance as quickly as possible, Wright even did not hesitate to spend part of his Nen to enhance his speed.
Now that he has successfully entered the range where he could attack Franklin, it meant that the consumption just now was meaningful.
At this moment, Wright had recognized Franklin as a member of the Phantom Troupe, and also understood Moses's motive for asking him to stop earlier.
'However-'
'This was not proactive provocation, but a forced counterattack.'
Wright's thoughts were spinning rapidly, and his eyes were shimmering with Nen.
'How could I miss this opportunity to attack?'
"Breaking Blood!"
Nen condensed around Wright's fist, bursting with veins, and the filled energy and blood made it dyed red, and his fist seemed to have grown a little.
With a sound like a sonic boom, Wright's fist struck towards Franklin's temple with all his might.
Franklin was always wary of Wright's movements, so he calmly took a step back and leaned his upper body back upon seeing Wright's incoming fist.
This response not only extended the distance Lat's fist had to travel but also allowed the downward-slanting ten finger muzzles to sweep Nen bullets towards the ground.
Wright's pupils shrank at this, but he had no intention of changing his tactics.
The red fist enveloped in Nen continued along its original trajectory, heading straight for Franklin.
Just because of Franklin's movement, the fist that was originally aimed at his temple was now directed towards Franklin's face.
Franklin didn't expect Wright to be so reckless, but he still calmly mobilized his Nen in a short period of time to reinforce the defense on his face.
Bang!
Wright hit Franklin in the face with his fist, causing a few drops of blood to spray from the side of Franklin's face.
At the same time, Franklin's ten-finger gun muzzles, which was raised from bottom to top, released barrage of chunky Nen bullets on Wright's body.
In an instant, blood splattered from Wright's lower body and even his abdomen.
Franklin was pushed back by the punch, while Wright was also pushed back by the barrage of Nen bullets.
In theory, as an Enhancer, Wright should have inflicted considerable damage on Franklin with this punch.
However, before being attacked, Franklin had already preemptively mobilized his Nen to reinforce the defense on his face.
Comparatively, the intensity of his Nen distributed for attack will become weaker.
This brief decision-making between attack and defense led to both Franklin and Wright sustaining injuries in this brief exchange, but the injuries were actually not serious.
However, Franklin was the defensive side, and he was also an Emitter.
After being approached by an Enhancer, he was still able to distribute his Nen between attack and defense to such an extent, which reflected his extremely skillful Nen Techniques.
Furthermore, although the barrage of Nen bullets from the double-finger guns only caused skin injuries to Wright, the accompanying impact pushed Wright away.
The distance was thus widened, and Franklin regained the advantage in Nen attributes.
Bang bang bang-!
Indifferent to the consumption of his Aura, Franklin shifted from defense to offense, unleashing countless chunky Nen bullets towards Wright with all his might.
He wanted to inflict as many wounds on Wright as possible before Wright could bring his Nen back to defend.
Faced with this close-range barrage, Wright could only quickly erect his visible Aura as a defense in front of him.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh—!
The chunky Nen bullets hit Wright's body, and blood blossomed in the glow of Nen.
The impact of each Nen bullet accumulates a weak damage in Wright's body. What's even more troublesome is that it is difficult for him to launch a counterattack in this situation.
With just one exchange of moves, the situation became clear.
Wright was being pushed back by the relentless barrage of bullets from Franklin's Double Machine Gun.
This is the importance of Nen Techniques and 'instant judgment'.
From the perspective of Nen attributes, both Wright, who is an Enhancer, and Franklin, who is an Emitter, leaned towards purely offensive abilities.
They were akin to a warrior and an archer.
Normally speaking, a warrior should be able to suppress an archer after getting close.
However, Franklin, with his superior Nen techniques and instant judgment, managed to reverse the advantage of Nen attributes.
From this moment he gained the upper hand, it was actually only a matter of time before Wright was defeated.
Because this was a contest between purely offensive Nen abilities, without any fancy or peculiar abilities, so once one was suppressed, there was basically no hope of a comeback.
However, this battle is not one-on-one.
"Hmm?!"
Suddenly, Franklin's eyes narrowed.
He has not forgotten about Moses.
Upon noticing Moses attacking from the left, Franklin decisively moved his left arm to aim his five-finger gun at Moses.
His right hand is still attacking and suppressing Wright, but the reduced firepower from one hand made it less effective in quickly accumulating damage on Wright.
'He skillfully neutralize Wright's attack so easily, and to always be vigilant about my movements... He's truly too seasoned… The two Enhancers from the Hex Family didn't die unjust death.'
Moses was astonished inwardly, staring at the chunky Nen bullets raining down on his face.
'Timing is very important…'
Thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning.
At the last moment before the Nen bullets reached him, Moses used his ability.
'Shadow Shifting!'
Moses's body trembled imperceptibly, and in an instant, he exchanged positions with a shadow clone that had silently approached behind Franklin using Zetsu.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh—!
The incoming Nen bullets struck the shadow clone, riddling it with holes, turning it into a tattered presence in the blink of an eye.
At the same time…
Moses appeared behind Franklin.
Under Wright's astonished gaze, Moses's body still maintained its forward momentum. Taking advantage of this, he twisted his body and kicked Franklin's lower back with all his might.
Bang!
Franklin was struck in the lower back, and the fierce impact sent him flying.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Franklin, who flew far away, broke three pillars one after another before crashing to the ground.
Coincidentally, Franklin's body landed in front of Ryles.
"?!"
Seeing Franklin being knocked over, Ryles was shocked.
'A skilled opponent?!'
Ryles's face first flashed with a look of shock, and then, it became extremely serious.
