Chapter 449: Chapter 449 Ging, I'm Actually Not A Nen Exorcist
This was the second time Moses had seen Ging use the Divine Script.
Not only could they be inscribed onto iron ball to create a 'teleportation function', but they could also be used now to 'reinforce' things.
When Moses thought about the possibility that a vast system of the Divine Script might exist behind the entire structure of Greed Island, he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
He believes that the potential variety of the Divine Script was unimaginable.
If he could master and become proficient in them, they would definitely be a highly formidable tool.
Moses's desire for the Divine Script reached its peak at that moment.
However, in reality-
The Divine Script itself is an obscure and extremely difficult ability to learn.
Let alone mastering it, even just learning the Divine Script is no easy task.
The most important aspect is that the structure of these Divine Script's symbols is incredibly complex. To draw or carve one that can channel an ability or function into it requires an immense amount of time, something that Ging made appear deceptively quick and effortless.
To put it simply…
The reason why the Divine Script that Moses witnessed today could produce such practical effects in two situations was simply because the person using it was Ging.
Mastering the Divine Script and wielding it with ease… that's the real challenge.
Precisely because it is so difficult to step into the threshold that the Divine Script cannot be popularized.
Otherwise, in this world where Nen Ability is limited by 'Nen Capacity', which Nen User would not want to learn and master the Divine Script?
After all, just the amplification effect brought by Divine Script can, to some extent, bypass the inherent limitations of the Nen System.
Moses was unaware of these details.
But even if he knew, it wouldn't shake his desire to learn the Divine Script.
With the bone sphere now immobilized, Heram's tense expression finally eased a bit.
Although this Pro Hunter, who was extremely famous in the field of Ruins, did not know how to exorcise Nen, being able to restrain the bone sphere was already a huge help to Heram.
This way, Heram could take a break and make some preparations to reduce the risk of his next exorcism attempt.
Seeming sensing the relaxation from those around him, Ging spread his hands and said, "Don't get too excited just yet. I can't keep it restrained for long."
Without caring how the others reacted to his words, he narrowed his eyes, focusing on the chalk-like material slowly crumbling off the surface of the bone sphere.
"Hmm…"
Ging raised his hand to his chin, a thoughtful expression appeared in his eyes.
With a move of his thought, he deliberately strengthened the intensity of the Aura surrounding him.
With this small action of his, the crumbling on the bone sphere's surface became more intense, and the grayish-white substance that fell off didn't return to the bone sphere.
'It turns out that using this ability can cause damage to this Post-Mortem Nen.'
Ging noticed this and immediately looked at the bone sphere with great interest.
Post-Mortem Nen typically has an almost unfathomable lifespan.
This phenomenon occurs regardless of strength, probably because of the principle that 'a legacy will never disappear'.
However, as long as certain conditions are met, the Post-Mortem Nen, that can resist the erosion of time, can be easily dissipated.
For example, right now-
The Aura membrane, which is enhanced by Divine Script, seemed to be the very condition capable of dissolving this Post-Mortem Nen.
However, dissolving such a large bone sphere would definitely be a laborious task.
'Forget it... I'll just put in some effort, and then I can rightfully ask for a priority pass to the tomb.'
Ging thought to himself.
Just as he was about to put his theory into practice, Moses came to his side.
Seeing Moses coming over, Ging's eyes lit up.
"Let me give it a try."
Moses looked at the substance that looked like ashes that was continuing to fall off, and said what Ging wanted to hear most at the moment.
Upon hearing this, Ging's eyes brightened even more, and he said in an excited tone, "That'd be a huge help. If you're the one doing the exorcism, you should be able to handle it in no time, right?"
"…"
Moses furrowed his brows, unsure why Ging was so excited, and after a moment of thought, he earnestly explained, "Ging, I'm actually not a Nen Exorcist."
"?"
Ging tilted his head slightly, just as Moses couldn't understand Ging's excitement, Ging now had no idea why Moses felt the need to say that.
Moses tried his best to look sincere, attempting to make Ging more receptive to this statement.
The question marks above Ging's head only multiplied. As someone who spent a lot of time surfing the Internet, Ging tentatively asked, "Is this some… new kind of humblebrag?"
"No, I'm serious."
Moses looked at Ging with utmost sincerity.
Considering Ging's identity as a Ruins Hunter, to be honest, Moses was really worried that Ging would come to him for exorcisms in the future.
In order to avoid this situation, Moses quickly added: "There may be some misunderstanding here. In fact, I am not a Nen Exorcist."
"…"
Ging was silent for a moment.
As sharp as he was, even he couldn't figure out why Moses would say such a thing.
"Then you…"
Ging felt the need to get rid of this strange topic and asked hesitantly, "Do you still want to give it a try?"
"Of course."
Moses nodded seriously.
Heram, who was not far behind, overheard the conversation between Moses and Ging, and was thoroughly confused.
Ging cast a slightly puzzled glance at Moses, then took two steps back, and waited for Moses to perform.
Moses took a step forward, raised his hand and gently placed it on the surface of the bone sphere.
He had noticed earlier the signs of crumbling on the bone sphere, and also saw Ging's actions of deliberately strengthening the Aura to speed up the disintegration process.
Then-
An idea naturally formed in his mind.
Perhaps this idea could directly eliminate the Post-Mortem Nen lingering on the bone sphere.
That's why he had come here.
[All Extinct]
A faint red glow quietly emerged in Moses's eyes, and an almost tangible killing intent instantly erupted from within him.
"Hmm?"
Ging's expression changed slightly.
Behind him, Heram's body trembled, unable to hide the look of terror as he glanced at Moses, who suddenly unleashed a terrifying killing intent.
As the oppressive aura spread out, the rain falling from the sky suddenly turned to mist around Moses.
This phenomenon of liquid vaporizing was spreading in all directions at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the part of bone sphere closest to Moses shattered into countless particles at an astonishing speed, much like the rain.
To those watching, it seemed as if Moses had crushed the enormous bone sphere into dust with a single palm strike, and even the surrounding rain was caught in the destruction.
However, such a shocking scene was not as powerful as the Aura that erupted from Moses, which was filled with terrifying killing intent.
'How many people must one kill to condense such an overwhelming Momentum?'
Heram, Satotz and Quinn were all shocked, and at that moment, the same question arose in their minds.
From the perspective of a bystander, they could only stare in awe and terror at the figure standing amidst the falling dust.
'Could killing intent also be used as a mean to exorcise Nen?'
'Could simply releasing one's Aura be enough to easily shatter the Post-Mortem Nen that Mr. Heram had struggled to dispel even with all his might?'
The scene they saw at this moment had already surpassed Satotz and Quinn's understanding.
Thud, thud…
Just as they were reeling from their shock, they saw the soldiers arranged in battle formation falling to the ground like dominoes, motionless.
There is no doubt that it was Moses's Aura had affected these soldiers as well.
Even though they were far away, ordinary people had no ability to resist any form of Aura-based intrusion.
'That's going too far!'
Seeing the soldiers suddenly fall to the ground, Satotz and the others' expressions drastically changed. Their first reaction was that Moses's terrifying killing intent had destroyed these soldiers' lives.
However, they soon noticed that Aura was still faintly visible above the soldiers' heads, which meant that the soldiers had simply lost consciousness, so they breathed a sigh of relief.
Not only did Moses use his Aura filled with killing intent to shatter the bone sphere infested with Post-Mortem Nen, but he had also managed to control the precision of his attack to avoid killing the nearby soldiers...
After several twists and turns, Moses's figure at this moment was deeply imprinted in the hearts of Heram, Satotz and Quinn.
Shizuku stared intently at Moses, who stood at the center of the terrifying killing intent Aura, and curiously asked, "Menchi, is this Moses's Nen Exorcism Ability?"
"Well…"
Menchi furrowed her brows, not knowing how to answer Shizuku's question for a while.
The Nen Exorcism Ability she knew of didn't seem to work like this…
But the Post-Mortem Nen that controlled all those bones had indeed disappeared…
When she didn't receive a response for a while, Shizuku glanced at Menchi in confusion.
As for Ging, who was standing closest to Moses, his gaze at Moses's back was filled with both surprise and puzzlement.
'Using this method to deal with the Post-Mortem Nen...'
'Are you trying to increase the persuasiveness of 'not being a Nen Exorcist'?!'
