Chapter 38 - I Originally Had High Hopes For Chrollo

"My physical strength is constantly increasing!"

Even in Luke's current state, he could easily feel his body growing stronger at a visible rate!

Under the stimulation and shock of this platinum-colored electrical energy.

His entire body was undergoing corresponding enhancement.

And not only his body, but even the amount of aura within him was gradually increasing.

Although the increase in aura wasn't as dramatic as the physical enhancement.

But the steady growth still made Luke feel a great sense of joy.

"As expected of an invention from the Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, praise the great village chief Slowy!"

Feeling his growing strength, Luke couldn't help but sincerely praise village chief Slowy for this masterpiece!

This is what a truly great inventor is like, what a remarkable sheep! 

Luke's original strength, to put it in comparison, was like that of a beginner.

But with this power enhancing his body and increasing his aura, he was gradually developing into a fairly competent Nen user.

By competent, it roughly equates to the level of Gon and Killua, who trained in the Heavens Arena and were able to defeat Gido and Riehlvelt.

In other words, just this short period of enhancement was enough to match what Gon and Killua, two prodigies among tens of millions, had achieved in three months of training under a skilled teacher like Wing.

Gon and Killua began learning Nen on March 10th, and by June 4th, Gon was able to fight and defeat Gido.

Luke's current level of enhancement and strength is roughly the same as Gon's at that time. 

"At the very least, among Nen users, I'm definitely stronger than those third-rate users who don't understand anything and just haphazardly train and develop their abilities…"

As the energy surge gradually subsided, Luke looked at his arm and the taut muscles.

"At least, I now have some ability to defend myself."

This kind of energy enhancement couldn't be done continuously.

Not only would it put too much strain on his body, but it was also important for Luke to familiarize himself with the changes and growth in his strength.

It would be best to do it again after a period of time.

This way, it would benefit his body and maximize the enhancement effect.

"After the movie is over, I'll go back and try out my new strength and see what changes have occurred…"

Luke thought to himself, then took off his hood and casually put the power booster away.

Just as he was about to leave…

The next second, his figure suddenly froze in place.

"Huh?!"

Luke's pupils shrank as he saw Father Lisores, the priest from the church, suddenly appear at the doorway.

"A Nen ability with spatial effects?"

Father Lisores spoke softly from the doorway: "And that device you had earlier…"

"Are you a Conjurer or Specialist?"

Father Lisores's tone was as gentle as ever, just like when he spoke to the devout children who came to the church.

Luke remained silent, subconsciously scanning his surroundings. 

"You have chosen a good spot."

Father Lisores remained calm as he spoke: "This room is secluded, with only one door and no other exits."

"Of course, if you want to break through the wall to escape, that's fine too."

"But I don't think things will have to come to that…"

Father Lisores narrowed his eyes, his gaze similar to the one he had on Chrollo, and fixed it on Luke.

"I won't be your enemy; you don't need to be so wary and on guard."

Indeed, if Father Lisores had any ill intentions toward Luke, he would have attacked him when he was unaware.

However, this didn't rule out the possibility that Father Lisores had other schemes and plans… Luke's thoughts raced.

"He can openly say Nen ability, which means he knows of its existence."

"And he mentioned the Conjurer or Specialist type… Obviously, he has some knowledge of Nen."

"Well, of course, if he didn't, he wouldn't have been able to bring Renko from Kirimori Valley here…"

"After all, Father Lisores witnessed Renko's sewing abilities…"

As his thoughts raced, Luke considered various possibilities about Father Lisores.

For example, his connection to the Council of Elders, his relationship with the Kirimori Valley, and his own Nen abilities and strength…

But regardless of his thoughts, the key point was what Father Lisores had said: "I won't be your enemy; you don't need to be so wary and on guard."

He certainly didn't seem malicious; at least, Luke, who was sensitive to aura, didn't sense any malice or bloodlust from him.

With this in mind, Luke believed there was only one possibility: "Father Lisoresl must have another agenda with me..."

Luke's eyes narrowed slightly.

Either, like Chrollo's future ability Skill Hunter, he wanted to steal his Nen ability… Or, his goal lay with Luke himself…

"You know, I originally had high hopes for Chrollo."

Father Lisoresl looked at Luke and spoke with the same calmness.
