"Share the pain!"
In an instant, Allie felt a significant drop in her aura. She hadn't expected this at all, and before she could react, nearly half of her aura was suddenly siphoned away.
Staggering, Allie was forced out of her flame state.
"What the—?"
A figure materialized behind her.
"Whip!"
Raiken's arm lashed out, striking Allie hard.
Smack!
Pain shot through Allie's body like a searing blade, and her movements became sluggish. Her body grew heavier as Raiken's attack landed with brutal force.
Allie still couldn't understand why her aura was depleting so quickly.
The gravity intensified—twice, thrice, up to five times the normal force.
That was Kaizen's limit for the Gravity Game of Libra at the moment.
Not far away, behind Ryunosuke Akutagawa, several dark, razor-sharp claws formed and lunged forward.
Snap!
Raiken clapped his hands together.
"Position swap!"
In an instant, Raiken and Ryunosuke switched places.
Ryunosuke's attack landed squarely on Allie.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Her body was pierced multiple times.
"Brat!"
Allie's face twisted in fury, her eyes locking onto Kaizen.
Flames erupted over Allie's body again. Ryunosuke stumbled back slightly, but his attack had already done its damage. Allie couldn't fully reignite into her flame form—her dwindling energy no longer allowed it.
A pink figure dashed forward.
Killer Queen swung a baseball bat toward Allie's head.
"Another Nen Beast?!"
"Just how many of these do you have?!"
"Kid, I'll admit—you're strong."
"But it doesn't matter how many tricks you pull!"
"You're still going to lose!"
Allie ignored the wounds covering her body. She ignored Ryunosuke and even the burning pain. Her sole focus was Kaizen.
Lumbering forward, her footsteps grew heavier, faster. The ground trembled beneath her as she charged toward Kaizen.
Before Killer Queen could reach her, flames surged up, blocking her path.
Allie wasn't just afraid of Kaizen now—she feared the unpredictability of Killer Queen as well. She refused to let her get close.
Kaizen dodged effortlessly, weaving out of Allie's reach.
Allie's eyes gleamed. "Dodging?"
"That means you've hit your limit!"
"Are you out of tricks?!"
Behind Ryunosuke, dark claws shot into the ground, restricting Allie's movements.
At the same time—
"Ghost Step!"
A dozen afterimages of Kaizen appeared, darting around Allie.
Allie gritted her teeth, unable to tell which one was real.
Time ticked by. Her condition worsened.
Kaizen flicked his wrist.
Whoosh!
Needles shot toward Allie.
She tried to dodge but found her movements sluggish—Ryunosuke's ability was still weighing her down.
Pfft!
A needle embedded itself in her skin, and the venom from the Crystal Feather Bone spread through her bloodstream. Allie staggered, barely able to keep herself standing.
Kaizen glanced toward Raiken.
Raiken clasped his palms together.
Kaizen took a step forward.
Snap!
"Position swap!"
Kaizen and Allie switched places in an instant. Allie was now where Kaizen had stood just moments ago—on top of a seemingly ordinary stone.
But this wasn't just any rock. Killer Queen had already planted her ability on it.
Allie had anticipated Raiken's swapping technique. He had been on guard against Killer Queen.
But she had misjudged one thing—she didn't know the full extent of her abilities.
Just moments ago, she had been too distracted by the sight of Killer Queen wielding a baseball bat, leading her to make a critical mistake.
By the time she realized the trap, it was too late.
Killer Queen detonates the second bomb.
A silent explosion erupted beneath Allie's feet.
The impact launched her body into the air. Her legs were instantly obliterated.
Blood splattered across the battlefield.
Kaizen raised his hand, gathering an immense amount of aura—far more than he had before.
The concentrated blast rocketed toward Allie, who was still airborne.
Boom!
A powerful explosion engulfed Allie's midair form, sending her flying even higher.
Below, a massive dark-red maw waited for her.
As she plummeted—
Crunch!
It clamped down.
Allie's body was severed in two.
Organs, blood, bone fragments—
Scattered across the ground.
Her life force flickered, barely holding on. As a Nen user, she retained consciousness for just a few seconds longer, but it was fading fast.
Her wide eyes reflected disbelief.
"Impossible..."
"I lost...?"
"To some kid?!"
"Who the hell is he...?"
"How many Nen Beasts does he have...?"
"How many abilities...?"
Allie seethed.
As a prodigy of the Republic of Mimbo, she had been a rising star, a key asset. This mission was meant to be her breakthrough—completing it would have secured her immense prestige and rewards upon her return.
She was supposed to be victorious.
But here she was, dying at the hands of a child.
"Damn it... I can't accept this..."
"She's still waiting for me..."
"I can't... go back..."
A fleeting image of a woman surfaced in Allie's mind.
But her fate was sealed.
Thump!
Her heart gave its final beat.
Kaizen stepped forward, confirming Allie was truly dead.
Killer Queen approached.
Kaizen retrieved a gasoline canister from Killer Queen's storage space, opened it, and poured it over Allie's corpse.
Then, he lit a match.
Whoosh!
The flames roared to life, consuming what remained of Allie.
