He narrowly dodged Loki's punch.
Burning flames danced on Loki's arm. Loki, who had appeared suddenly, hadn't expected Kite to react. While it wasn't a full-power attack, the speed was still impressive.
Kite calmly countered with an uppercut, shouting simultaneously, "Ben!"
Ben, standing behind Kite, was still staring at Loki, seemingly stunned by the sudden attack. However, upon hearing Kite's voice, he spread his arms wide, his Nen surging.
The agitated Nen was like boiling water.
"Joyful Square, activate!"
Whoosh whoosh! Suddenly, colorful lights spread outwards, and the mysterious runes etched into the ground flashed brightly, emitting a dazzling light.
Loki stared at these mysterious runes beneath his feet, his body suddenly becoming immobile.
Bang! Kite's punch landed squarely on Loki's jaw, sending him flying.
Loki quickly landed after his airborne tumble, regaining his composure before looking up at Kite.
Despite the solid blow, Loki hadn't sustained any injuries.
Kite lowered his fist, staring at Loki.
'My full-power punch couldn't even break through his Nen defense!'
'The difference in strength is far greater than I anticipated.'
He gripped his scythe tightly, maintaining his composure despite his surprise.
However, Ben behind him couldn't believe it.
The moment he activated his ability, Joyful Square, everyone within its range lost control of their bodies. This effect allowed Kite to land that initial blow.
This was meant to be a coordinated attack with Knuckle, but now, if Knuckle attacked rashly, it would undoubtedly alert Loki. So, when Kite called his name, Ben understood that waiting for Knuckle was no longer an option. He had to act first.
But… 'He wasn't even affected! With this kind of disparity, can we really defeat this monstrous kid?'
Self-doubt began to creep into Ben's mind.
Nanzo beside him was equally astonished.
'A Specialist-type Nen user, yet possessing Nen comparable to an Enhancement-type user. Can we really defeat such a formidable opponent with our coordinated abilities?'
After being forced back by Goki's punch, Knuckle turned to observe the situation. He hadn't even had time to cheer at Kite's initial blow before witnessing Loki remain completely unaffected. Knuckle's jaw dropped as he stared at Loki.
Meanwhile, Shoot was too preoccupied grappling with Zen'in to pay attention to the fight here.
Loki, however, was focused on the peculiar Nen runes beneath his feet.
Activating his Byakugan, he observed that the Nen forming these runes was subtly merging with the surrounding environment, making forceful destruction impossible.
Looking up, Loki glanced at Ben.
'An unfamiliar ability user. His ability was what prevented me from moving, allowing me to be hit.'
'I never expected such an unassuming individual to possess such an ability.
I need to deal with him first!'
With this thought, Loki immediately acted.
His fingers twitched slightly, and a sudden burst of Nen erupted.
He raised his hand, clenched his fist, and swung forcefully.
"Fire Fist!"
A terrifying inferno of flames erupted from Loki's arm, hurtling towards Ben.
The instantly erupting flames surged like a raging tide, engulfing everything in their path.
This wide-range flame attack further emphasized the troublesome nature of Loki's fire abilities to Kite.
His superior Nen, combined with his incredibly practical abilities.
Seeing the flames rapidly approaching, Kite knew that escaping wouldn't be difficult, but Nanzo and Ben would be in danger.
With a sigh, Kite turned, quickly grabbing both of them and throwing them to safety, losing his own chance to escape in the process.
In the blink of an eye, the flames engulfed him.
Red light filled Kite's vision.
'The battle has just begun, and I'm already forced to use my trump card?'
Suddenly, a black shadow dashed in front of Kite.
A massive rock flew in from behind, shielding Kite from the initial onslaught.
Seizing the opportunity, Kite jumped into the air, evading the attack.
After the flames subsided, Kite slowly landed.
He turned to say, "Tha—"
The second syllable of "thank you" died in his throat.
An incredibly muscular woman appeared behind him.
Kite stared at her in surprise. Bisky's expression wasn't good either.
"Brat, what are you looking at? Focus on your enemy."
Kite turned to face Loki, but couldn't resist saying, "Ms. Bisky, your appearance is quite… unexpected!"
"Brat, if you say another word about my appearance, I'll flatten you first."
Facing the muscular Bisky, Kite refrained from commenting further on her appearance.
Bisky scoffed. "Be careful. Don't let your guard down for a second when fighting this kid."
"Ms. Bisky has fought this person before, hasn't she?"
Bisky nodded. "That's right!"
Although she had fought him, it was a complete defeat.
"It might not be the best time to ask this, but Ms. Bisky, you fought him and survived. Could you have actually stopped him?"
"Stopped him?" Bisky clenched her fists, a strained smile on her face.
"You're overestimating me. The reason I survived was probably simply because he wanted to see what Netero's other disciples were capable of."
Kite frowned, showing he didn't understand. Bisky explained, "He's also Netero's disciple, though Netero only trained him for a month."
Hearing this, Kite finally understood. "I thought the rumors were false, but this kid really is the Chairman's disciple."
"Yes! The Chairman himself created a terrifying monster!"
Swinging his scythe, Kite said, "Ms. Bisky, be ready to jump in at any moment; don't delay."
"What are you going to do?" Bisky watched Kite stride forward, his scythe held firmly, his Nen surging.
Kite, striding forward, said coldly, "Counterattack, of course!"
"If we let him escape and continue growing stronger, it won't be long before the title of the world's strongest Nen user changes hands."
"And if that title falls to such a reckless kid, the world will never know peace."
Kite glanced at Knuckle and Shoot, still battling Loki's Nen beasts.
'I hope you two can manage to dodge as well!'
Bang! Kite suddenly charged forward, swinging his massive scythe at Loki.
Loki calmly raised his hand.
The clang of metal on metal echoed as the long scythe grazed Loki's palm, sparks flying. Loki stood firm, gripping Kite's weapon.
A terrifying gust of wind erupted from beneath their feet.
