Adarte noticed something.
It was not that big of an event or detail, but it may work in his favor to get this shield using the enemy; it gives him an opening so that he can kill him.
After one and two seconds, Adarte, without wasting any more time, launched again.
The shielded man smiled as he saw that Adarte was attacking him.
In the end, as long as he can block the attacks of his enemies, he is effectively disarming them of their abilities.
Which means that he is taking their weapon and making them harmless as much as he can.
Adarte swung his metal bat, and as he was about to hit, he did not hit the shield of the man but instead hit the ground.
A huge blast destroyed the surroundings due to the attack of Adarte.
Shield Man jumped back, and a clear confusion showed on his face.
He did not understand why the enemy purposefully attacked on the ground.
He is not fool enough to not understand that the man did not miss him; he directly aimed at the floor.
Adarte smiled as he felt the power start coming right through to the glove.
"Yes."
"I am too smart..."
"If I did not put the condition that self-harm and other kinds of vibrational energy also work to fulfill the condition, I would have no way to take care of the enemy at all."
Adarte did not want to use this way of gaining energy for his glove to activate his devastating attack.
But the situation and the enemy showed clearly that he is not capable of hitting the man without getting blocked by those shields.
He does not want to get blocked, as he does not know how many times he can get blocked before he cannot use his ability anymore.
"Okay."
"One or two more times..."
"I should be able to have enough power to blast him and his shield into the smithereens."
The self-hurt in this process did not just mean that he was just feeling some vibration in his hands; every time he hit a solid object with his metal bat, all the energy doubled or even tripled before reaching him.
Basically, he is feeling like he was getting hit by the metal bat without the injuries.
A huge amount of pain that he needs to resist and give to his glove before being able to use it.
Adarte jumped again towards the enemy.
He still made sure that he was trying to attack him, but at the last second, he again destroyed him to the ground.
Gotoh and Canary, who was finished dealing with the quasi-members, looked for one second at the battle between Adarte and The Shield using the enemy and then left from the window they came from.
As it was stated in the contract, their main goal is to take care of the quasi-members.
If any member of the team is not dying, they would prefer to take on more quasi-members.
Adarte felt the power rushing his body, and then he nodded.
"One more attack..."
"One more blasting, and Glove will be ready to use," he said, his eyes bloodshot at this point.
The pain was too much to bear, but he had no chance to bear it one more time.
If he were to use his glove ability right now, it would be enough to take care of many nen users, but the thing is this man had shields.
If he were to block the blast with his shields, at the very most he would be moderately injured and nothing more.
That was not acceptable.
Adarte did not know if he would have enough power to keep on fighting against such an enemy.
Not after he performs the glove attack.
While he thought, the shield-using man did not stop thinking.
"He is trying to do something."
"Some sort of a new ability."
"He wants to trigger it, but I don't know what it is about."
"If he does not attack me, I am not that good when it comes to dealing with enemies..."
"If she did not die, she would help me a lot..."
The truth is that the shield-using man never fought alone against the enemies.
His mission was to block attacks from enemies and take away their power and abilities for some duration of time.
While he thought, Adarte forced himself to jump again and then target the man again, swinging the metal bat with all of his force.
His veins showed up, and from his nose, blood started dripping out to the ground.
He then blasted the ground.
With the blast, his mouth formed an ugly smile.
Ugly, but also powerful.
"Now..."
"I am ready to kill you..." he thought as he looked at the man with the shield like a lion stalking his prey.
The man was not an idiot at all; he noticed in an instant that the look in the eyes of his enemy had changed.
It seemed like he wanted to kill him.
"No..."
"The next attack of his will be directed at me."
"I need to block it with all of my power."
"If not..."
The man did not want to think about what would happen if he were not able to block the next attack.
"At least he is not in good shape," the man thought as he looked at his enemy.
He can see with ease that these blasting attacks with the metal bat enemy is performing caused him great harm.
The blood is there; he can also sense that the aura of the enemy is not that strong anymore.
Whatever he did caused him to lose a great deal of vitality.
It is not hard to see this reality.
"Now"
"What kind of an attack will he perform?"
"He only used his metal bat until now."
"Is he going to try to punch me with that glove?"
"When my ability was activated, I also sensed that Glove was also affected."
"It means that it is no ordinary object and must have some connection to his nen ability."
As the man thought, Adarte did not wait any longer and jumped towards him.
"This is your end," he whispered as he fell down with his metal bat swinging.
