The coat Moses had casually discarded at the start of the battle provided the critical element for liberating Kyoka Suigetsu.
In order to wait for this opportunity to come, Moses kept moving around, and in the eyes of Uvogin and Chrollo, he created the illusion that he was trying his best to break through their defenses to take down Love.
In reality-
Every move Moses made was calculated to guide Uvogin into position near the coat, fulfilling three conditions:
1. Chrollo's Teleportation Ability is on cooldown.
2. Uvogin stands with his back to the coat.
3. The distribution of Uvogin's Aura is in the offensive stage.
Moses accomplished this delicate setup in a high-stakes fight where even a single mistake would result in his defeat.
If one were to re-describe Moses's movement trajectory in the entire Nen Space from a bird's-eye view, the resulting picture would be as messy as a ball of thread.
Each line here symbolizes every time Moses escaped danger, and also symbolizes the difficulty of Moses successfully guiding Uvogin to the position.
The margin for error was razor-thin. A single clean hit from Uvogin would render Moses incapable of continuing directly.
Now, with the black tendrils implanted, Moses only needed to wait for them to spread throughout Uvogin's body, and then blossom and bear fruit, condensing into an Eye of Sight that represents the full activation of his abilities.
Only then will the ability of Kyoka Suigetsu be truly released.
And this process-
Dependent on the target's strength and the gap between them, would typically require five minutes for the black tendrils to spread fully.
However, certain factors could accelerate the process, such as heightening the target's emotional volatility or creating multiple wounds.
Because the more wounds there are, the more points for the black tendrils to spread.
In addition-
If multiple wounds can be created at the same location, the second injury will become nutrients for the black tendrils, thereby accelerating their growth and spreading speed.
However, given the current situation, it is difficult for Moses to injure Uvogin again.
Throughout the earlier stages of the fight, in order to ensure the liberation of Kyoka Suigetsu's ability and prevent Uvogin and others from noticing anything unusual, Moses frequently conjured the black sword, but the black sword was frequently destroyed by Uvogin.
This process consumed a lot of his Potential Aura.
Thanks to his training over the past two years, although he could not improve the level of his Manifested Aura when engraving the Divine Script, he was able to consume his Potential Aura every day. After repeating this cycle over and over again, the increase of his Potential Aura was still considerable.
That's why Moses have the capital to execute such a demanding strategy.
Now, Moses faced two choices:
One is to find a way to make Uvogin's emotions fluctuate violently while maintaining a stable defense in battle.
The other method is to use up one of his Nen Exorcism chance to directly remove the Nen Space, let everyone return to the Heavens Arena's venue, and then act accordingly.
Moses didn't deliberate long and chose the first option.
Only when it is absolutely necessary will he choose to waste the Nen Exorcism chance on the Phantom Troupe.
Now,
His battle wasn't over yet.
…
Swish!
In front of Uvogin and others, Moses suddenly dismissed his black sword. With a slight sound, the black sword dissolved into faint wisps of Nen and flowed back into him.
"Hmm?"
Seeing Moses put away the black sword, Uvogin, Chrollo and Love all had different expressions.
Chrollo and Love, who were still impressed by Moses's earlier rationality, were now intrigued by his decision to dismiss his weapon.
On the other hand, Uvogin didn't think so much about it.
Moses's teleportation attack just now was indeed beyond his expectations.
However, the Ko attacked that was launched by concentrating all Moses's Aura only left an insignificant wound on his back.
In Uvogin's view, this only further highlighted Moses's helplessness in the fight.
Based on this, Uvogin believed that he had taken control of the entire battle situation, and the threat posed by Moses was almost non-existent.
After all, as long as he always maintains a stable state of Ken, then even if he is crushed by Moses in terms of Ryu, he does not have to worry about Moses being able to break through his defense.
If he had not mobilized some of his Aura to his fist, he probably would not have been wounded by Moses's Ko attack.
Because, leaving aside the Nen Categories, the Manifested Aura of both sides are not at the same level at all.
Seeing Moses dismiss his black sword, Uvogin was not sure what Moses wanted to do, but he knew how to win the battle.
Whoosh-!
Uvogin once again released his Aura to the maximum extent.
The Aura gushing out from his Aura Nodes blew away nearby rubble and sand.
"Uvogin, the pile of stones behind you."
Chrollo watched Uvogin wanted to attack again and immediately spoke up to remind him.
Uvogin was startled when he heard this, and turned his head to look at the large amount of rubble scattered on the rocky ground. Then, he saw a coat buried among them.
Up to this point in the battle, all his attention had been on Moses, so he naturally would not pay special attention to a piece of clothing.
But hearing Chrollo specifically point it out at this moment, and recalling the location where Moses teleported from, he began to piece things together.
"…"
While frowning and remaining silent, Uvogin restrained his Aura and maintained Ken state. Then, he bent down and pulled the coat out from the scattered rubble.
Rustle-
Debris slid off the coat as Uvogin lifted it by a dust-stained sleeve.
Then, Uvogin immediately noticed the Divine Script inscribed on the coat's inner lining.
But to Uvogin, the Divine Script are just like decorative patterns.
"This…?"
Uvogin, who remained in Ken state, was not worried about Moses's attack at all, or rather, he was prepared for Moses to come to him at any time.
With his back still to Moses, Uvogin casually flipped the coat over, revealing the strange symbols inside to Chrollo and Love.
Uvogin turning around also allowed Moses to see the black tendrils on the wound on his back like thin, vein-like threads, gradually extending outward at a pace visible to the naked eye.
"Destroy it."
Chrollo confirmed Moses's method of teleportation with this, and gave the order with a blank expression.
Upon hearing this, Uvogin crumpled up the entire coat into a ball without hesitation, then slammed it into the rocky ground with a Nen-enhanced punch, obliterating it completely.
After destroying the coat, Uvogin glanced at Chrollo, who gave him a small nod, indicating that no further tricks were hidden within.
From the moment Chrollo and Moses had entered this Nen Space, the only unusual action Moses had taken was discarding the coat.
Chrollo didn't expect that the seemingly casual toss concealed such a well-planned move.
At the same time, when Moses's shadow clone's teleportation ability was sealed, he and Uvogin inadvertently relaxed their vigilance in this regard.
Regardless, Chrollo believes that he has some responsibility for this matter.
Fortunately, a complete hunting plan had been formulated beforehand, which limited the total amount of Moses's Manifested Aura to more than half.
As a result, Moses's carefully orchestrated maneuver, which could have drastically shifted the tide of battle, ended up inflicting only a superficial wound that didn't impair Uvogin's combat ability.
The situation remained unchanged.
Therefore, as Chrollo had initially predicted, this hunt would conclude with Moses's death.
