Chapter 544 - Chapter 544 Ten Hisokas

In the original work, in order to fully unleash the strength of the [Judgment Chain], Kurapika developed an ability called [Emperor Time].

This ability allows Kurapika to break through the limitations of his Nen Categories while in the Scarlet Eyes state, enabling him to fully utilize the effects of any Nen Categories at 100%.

However, the price of Emperor Time is steep, as for every second Kurapika used it, he lost one hour of his lifespan.

This was a purely life-draining ability.

From Kurapika's perspective, he really needs this ability.

Otherwise, as a Conjurer, let alone facing the entire Phantom Troupe alone, due to the difference in the advantages and disadvantages of his Nen Categories, he might not even be able to overcome the hurdle of the Phantom Troupe's Enhancers.

Thus, Kurapika had no choice but to gamble his life.

However, after Moses intervened, there was actually no need to gamble with his life.

Giving Hisoka and Kortopi's heads to Kurapika was just a joke that Moses said casually.

He wanted to make Kurapika understand one thing.

That is, there is no need to deal with the Phantom Troupe alone, and compared to punishing the Phantom Troupe, there is something more important for him to do, which is to find the eyes of his clan's members.

Still, jokes aside, Moses's attitude towards dealing with the Phantom Troupe has not changed.

The Phantom Troupe-

He had them in his sights!

"Moses, what's the general strength level of the Phantom Troupe?"

Kurapika, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked the question that concerned him the most.

He only knew that the Phantom Troupe was a criminal group composed of thirteen members, and that each member is a Nen User. As for his knowledge of their strength, he had only met Hisoka.

"You asked me this out of the blue. I really don't know how to answer for a moment."

Moses pondered for a moment, but suddenly thought of Hisoka.

He felt that if Hisoka is used as a combat unit, Kurapika should be able to get a general idea.

After all, Kurapika had faced Hisoka in the Hunter Exam...

"Kurapika, what do you think of Hisoka's strength?"

"Very strong."

"Well, then you can imagine that there are about six or seven Hisokas among the members of the Phantom Troupe. If you count all of them together, it's roughly the equivalent of ten Hisokas."

"…"

Kurapika was a little stunned when he heard Moses say this, but the image of ten Hisoka with perverted smiles on their faces naturally appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart.

Ten Hisokas standing together...

The thought alone induced a sense of helplessness in Kurapika's heart.

Because in the battles between Nen Users, multiple Nen Users can always exert a combat power effect greater than 1+1.

Thus-

This reaffirmed Kurapika's need for one-on-one opportunities!

Moses noticed Kurapika's disturbed expression and couldn't help but wonder if his explanation had led Kurapika to imagine something strange.

Kurapika shook his head, banishing the Hisoka in his mind far away, and then looked at Moses.

"Then, how many of you are equivalent to the Phantom Troupe?"

"Hmm…"

Moyu didn't expect Kurapika to ask this question. He raised an eyebrow and scratched his chin before casually answering: "About three or four."

"Three or four?"

Kurapika was a little absent-minded.

Moses raised his index finger towards Kurapika and smiled, "In a one-on-one situation, I will definitely win."

After saying that, he raised his second index finger, and under Kurapika's surprised gaze, he continued with a smile, "One-on-two, I'd still win for sure."

Finally, he raised a third finger: "If it's one-on-three, it's hard to say, but I definitely won't lose. But if it's three Hisokas, I'd probably win."

Moses's statement immediately made Kurapika even more curious, and he couldn't help but asked, "What about one-on-four?"

"I wouldn't win."

Moses lowered his fingers and only said that he could not win, but he did not say that he would definitely lose.

There was a significant difference between single combat and fighting outnumbered. At the same time, it was unwise to underestimate the power of multiple Nen Users working together.

If it's a one-on-one fight, even Chrollo wouldn't stand a chance against Moses.

With so many trump cards in hand, Moses has absolute confidence in defeating Chrollo.

But if he was outnumbered, Chrollo's abilities would become an unpredictable variable.

Moses wasn't arrogant enough to think he could steamroll the Phantom Troupe just because he had powerful tools like the 'Netero Mask'.

No one stays in the same place forever.

Moses will become stronger, and so will the Phantom Troupe's members.

Moreover, the mask, Illusion of the Thousand Changes, that was copied from Netero has a shortcoming that couldn't be ignored, that is, the accuracy and strength of the copied Nen Ability will be affected by the user's Nen Category.

Moreover, if worn for more than eight seconds, there is a risk of being consumed by it.

The time limit wasn't much of an issue, as 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva's main feature is the word 'fast', so Moses can perfectly squeeze out its value within eight seconds.

This is also the fundamental reason why Moses had gone to such lengths to obtain it.

On the contrary, it is the ability's accuracy-

Although 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva seems to have many Nen Category's characteristics, Netero who developed this ability is an Enhancer.

Moses is a Specialist, and before he developed the Kyoka Suigetsu, he had always disliked facing Enhancers.

The reason is that, when facing Enhancers, due to the limitation of the offensive and defensive power conversion of the Nen Category, he needs to devote more Aura when attacking in order to cause damage to the Enhancers.

The most vivid example of this was the battle during the Museum Exchange Conference.

Due to the natural advantage Enhancers had in terms of offensive and defensive Aura conversion, an attack that should have been a fatal blow under normal circumstances, when it landed on Enhancers, only causes moderate damage.

If Moses were to use the 'Netero Mask', he wouldn't be able to count on its combat value.

So, as he just said-

He couldn't win against four members of the Phantom Troupe alone, let alone against the entire Phantom Troupe alone.

Of course…

His statement was directed at the 'arena-style combat'.

Sneak attack, diversion, defeating them one by one...

There are many means and methods that can be taken.

How could Moses just stand obediently in an arena and wait for the entire Phantom Troupe to gang up on him?

In essence, it was incredibly challenging for him to wipe out the Phantom Troupe in one go with his own strength, and the associated risks were equally high…

But…

With high risk came high reward!

If Moses really dares to take huge risks and succeeds in destroying the entire Phantom Troupe, he will definitely receive unimaginable rewards from Perception.

In fact, that was exactly what he planned to do.

For Moses, the principle that 'rewards accompany risks' had always been his guiding philosophy.
