The red net rose into the air, below, it connected to the ruined floor.
Above, it connected to the ceiling. It resembled a spider web, entirely constructed from Bungee Gum.
Natsu's figure was bound by several red lines. The powerful adhesive prevented Natsu from breaking free.
Hisoka released Natsu and moved to the center of the spider web, looking down at Ron from above.
The movements of Ron and Sasuke were greatly restricted by the appearance of the web.
However, ordinary spectators could not see the existence of the web and could only see Hisoka's figure floating in midair.
"Hisoka can actually float?"
"What kind of ability is this?"
"Is this really something a human can do?"
Only those Nen users who had learned Gyo could see what ability Hisoka was using.
Machi's pupils narrowed slightly.
"Hisoka had still been hiding his strength?"
Killua grew anxious once again.
Wing looked at Ron with a serious expression.
"Previously, Hisoka kept moving. Now, it seems it was all to set this up. The entire arena has already become Hisoka's domain.
That ability is quite special. It has both stickiness and elasticity, and it is very durable.
What method will Ron use now?"
Wing considered the situation. If he faced Hisoka's ability himself, he would have no way to break through and could only retreat.
But this was the arena. This was a Floor Master challenge.
If Ron retreated, it would signify Hisoka's victory.
A strong sense of anticipation appeared in Hisoka's eyes.
"Ron, what will you do next?"
Ron looked around.
"So this is how you are using Bungee Gum? Indeed, it transforms the environment to your advantage. But such usage also consumes a tremendous amount of aura. Hisoka, your aura capacity is far less than mine."
Ron looked toward Hisoka.
*Since you've finally used an application of Bungee Gum that I never saw in the original story, in turn, I'll show you a scene where I go all out.*
Ron extended both hands.
A large amount of aura gathered in Ron's hands.
A mass of pure aura moved toward Natsu, who was bound in the air by the spider web.
Beside him, Uchiha Sasuke rapidly formed hand signs.
When the aura Ron infused entered Natsu's body—
Boom!
An intense surge of aura exploded from Natsu, creating a powerful pressure. Even the spectators who could not see Natsu could feel the oppressive force.
"What is this?"
"It feels hard to breathe."
Hisoka narrowed his eyes as he looked at Natsu.
The next moment, Uchiha Sasuke completed his hand signs.
"Fire Style: Great Fire Dragon Technique!"
Hisoka prepared to evade.
But just as he was ready to dodge, he noticed that Sasuke's Great Fire Dragon Technique was not aimed at him but at Natsu.
This surprised Hisoka.
"Did he aim in the wrong direction?"
The spectators had the same thought at first.
But soon, everyone understood.
Facing the incoming Great Fire Dragon Technique, Natsu opened his mouth.
If he eats it, the power will surge forth!
An intense suction force erupted from Natsu's mouth.
The Great Fire Dragon Technique was pulled in and quickly swallowed by Natsu. It entered his mouth, went into his stomach, and became one of his sources of strength.
Flames burned on Natsu's body, and his aura surged again, growing stronger.
The flames became even more intense.
Crack!
Under the tremendous pressure, the ground involuntarily sank.
"Great Fire Dragon Mode!"
The flames on Natsu's body rapidly expanded, spreading outward at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters…
Until the flames covered the entire arena.
The flames burned fiercely.
The spectators could no longer see what was happening inside and could only see the fire.
Beside Ron, Uchiha Sasuke disappeared, and Lampent appeared, absorbing the approaching flames.
Only near Ron did a vacuum zone exist.
Hisoka's Bungee Gum slowly melted under the scorching heat of the flames.
Hisoka himself hid among the ruins, piling up large stones outside to block the flames.
But while flames could be blocked, heat could not.
Sweat evaporated rapidly from Hisoka's body.
Hisoka's expression stiffened.
Wing's pupils contracted.
*So strong!*
He could not help but exclaim in his heart.
As a fellow young Nen user, Wing had confidence in his strength and talent. Until now, he had not felt there was much difference between his power and Ron's.
Both were A-class Nen users.
Ron came from the Zoldyck family, but not from the inheritor line.
Wing's own origin from the Shingen-ryu dojo was not inferior.
But after seeing Ron use this technique, Wing had to admit his own strength was not equal to Ron's.
"And this is after Ron already used such aura-consuming Nen bullets earlier. That Nen beast's ability is somewhat similar to the Dragon Dojo system of the Fiola Kingdom."
"Is it a coincidence?
Or was the Nen beast created with reference to Nen users from the Dragon Dojo?"
"Such talent in nen is terrifying."
Machi looked deeply toward the arena.
"Ron's strength has already reached this level?"
"At this point, if the Phantom Troupe invites Ron to join, would he agree?"
Machi had no confidence.
The Phantom Troupe's appeal to Nen users came from only a few points.
One was the Troupe's strength.
The other was its style of operation.
But now that Ron's strength had reached this level, who in the Troupe could confidently defeat him? Not a single one.
"It's completely on par with Feitan's ability. But the conditions for Ron to use this ability are far less demanding than Feitan's."
"This proves Ron's strength surpasses Feitan's."
The flames on the arena continued burning.
They raged until all of Hisoka's Bungee Gum was burned away.
Only then did Ron give Natsu the order.
"Stop."
Natsu withdrew the flames.
Only then could the spectators clearly see the state of the arena.
