"Can they really keep getting up like this?" Facing the impending attack, Ging wasn't horrified but rather curious about how the Brions could still repair themselves.
Is this what you'd expect from creatures of the Dark Continent?
With a casual swipe, Ging knocked the Brion in front of him aside, effortlessly defusing the terrifying assault. But in that brief moment of distraction, the chests of the remaining Brions had already healed, with no more "transparent" holes.
However, unlike their original flesh-and-blood bodies, those areas were now densely packed with dark green branches.
Although Ging didn't fully understand the underlying principles, he didn't dwell on it too much.
After all, these were creatures from the Dark Continent. Even if their bodies, apart from their heads, were completely destroyed, they could still repair themselves, and Ging wouldn't be overly surprised.
The term "Dark Continent" represented infinite possibilities.
On that continent, any kind of creature could exist.
If someone said fish could fly in the sky or birds could swim in the water, he would believe it.
Seeing several Brions closing in on him, Ging rolled up his sleeves, revealing a satisfied smile. Finally, something to get him a little excited. What came before couldn't even be considered a warm-up.
Now, it seemed he could stretch his muscles a bit!
In an instant, a dense surge of Aura began to flow continuously from Ging body.
The overwhelming Aura made him shine like the blazing sun, the wind pressure causing his robes to flutter noisily. Apart from his hair, the entire person seemed to have transformed into a Super Saiyan, exuding an overwhelming sense of pressure with every move.
This was the true strength of an S- class powerhouse and this wasn't even his full power!
Suddenly, two figures appeared beside Ging, identical to him in appearance, demeanor, and even aura.
These were—Ging clones.
Nen: Double Clone, Emission Type
This ability allows the creation of up to two clones identical to the user, but at three times the usual Aura consumption.
The clones share the user perspective and can utilize all of the user abilities.
In other words, the Brions now faced the equivalent of three Gings.
Three S- class powerhouses!
"Boom!"
Under the coordinated assault of the three Gings, even the Brions, which could disperse their heads, were blown apart. With the fall of the first Brion, the fate of the others seemed inevitable.
"Huh?"
Akira, who had been watching intently, suddenly sensed something and sharply looked upward.
"Is there something there?"
Pyon, who had been typing, also looked up, her pupils contracting sharply.
"What is that?"
On the adjacent building, a Brion suddenly leaped down from a window. Its target was none other than Pyon and Akira. With the force of gravity, the Brion rapidly descended toward the two, making evasion seem difficult.
A snap of fingers.
An orange figure instantly appeared beside the Brion, its massive fist engulfed in flames.
Skill: Fire Punch!
"Bang!"
With a single punch, it sent the Brion flying.
The mangled body crashed into the hard surface of the building, lying motionless like a broken doll.
The silver-white head was shattered and the parasitic plant inside had been reduced to ashes by the flames.
In the next moment, the orange figure returned to Akira side.
"ROOOOAAARRRR"
It was Dragonite.
At the same time, Ging had just finished clearing the surrounding Brions and noticed the new Nen Beast beside Akira.
'This Nen Beast…][Its aura is incredibly strong!'
Even though Dragonite wasn't deliberately releasing its aura, Ging could still sense its extraordinary nature.
This was a being on the same level as himself!
'To possess such strength at such a young age…'
'No wonder the renowned Seven Deadly Sins means nothing to him.'
'And…'
Ging carefully examined Dragonite.
Its orange-white skin, draconic appearance, and endearing expression.
It doesnt match the description of the "Steel Colossus" that Satotz had mentioned....
'So, he has two Nen Beasts like this?'
At this thought, Ging eyelids couldn't help but twitch and a wave of shock surged in his heart.
Just from the strength Akira had revealed so far, there were already three entities on the same level as him!
Himself, the Dragon Nen Beast, the Steel Giant Nen Beast... And who knows if there were more hidden, yet to be revealed.
Ging wasn't the only one shocked, Pyon standing beside Akira was equally stunned.
???????
How come, after not seeing him for a while, another powerful Nen Beast had appeared!
Pyon thought she had gotten used to Akira habit of constantly revealing surprising things. But the facts proved she hadn't.
Every time she spent time with Akira, she would be startled again and again. The rare powerhouses of the Six Continents seemed to be popping up one after another around Akira like they were being mass-produced.
For a moment, the scene fell into an eerie silence as Ging and Pyon stared in astonishment at Dragonite.
"Roar?"
Dragonite tilted its head, wondering why these two were staring at it so intently.
The silence didn't last long, as the commotion from the earlier battle attracted more Brions.
On the streets, on the buildings... It seemed like Brions could emerge from every nook and cranny, heading their way. With a quick glance, Akira estimated that about twenty to thirty were coming their way.
Most of them were Silver Brion, with a few Gold Brion mixed in.
Akira felt an uncanny resemblance to a scene from a biohazard crisis.
One after another, "zombies" were running from every corner, aiming to turn the three of them into their "kind."
In that sense, it was quite similar.
Except the bloody and grotesque zombie image was replaced by humans with metal ball heads. Though it didn't look as disgusting. The level of horror it evoked wasn't much less.
Everywhere else, they were normal human bodies, but their heads were either golden or silver metal balls. No matter how you looked at it, it was terrifying.
Not to mention the difference in strength, the Brions were far stronger than zombies.
Just as Ging and Pyon thought it would take a while to deal with them, Akira decided to take the initiative.
What a joke!
These were all valuable experience points for his Pokemon!
In an instant, beams of white light appeared on the battlefield.
"Snor~lax."
"Growl!"
"Roar!"
...
Except for Ditto, Hydreigon, and Tyranitar, Akira released all his other Pokemon. The experience points from these Brions were a bit low for S- rank Pokemon, but just right for A rank Pokemon.
On the battlefield were Mega Sableye, Gengar, Snorlax, Arcanine, Gardevoir, Lucario, and Blissey. The Pokemon spread out, forming a protective circle around the three of them.
"These... these are all your Nen Beasts?!"
Ging was dumbfounded, shocked that there were so many Nen Beasts.
"Akira, just how many Nen Beasts do you have?" Pyon asked weakly, no longer caring if the question was polite or not.
Even she, who knew Akira, didn't recognize most of these Nen Beasts.
Now, Ging and Pyon only wanted to know just how many Nen Beasts Akira had!
"Well, just a tiny bit."
After a moment of contemplation, Akira lips curled into a slight smile, giving an answer that left the two speechless.
As they spoke, the Pokemon that had taken the field were now face to face with the Brions.
Lucario took the lead, with translucent swords swirling around its body before disappearing.
Normal-type move — Swords Dance.
With a sudden stomp on the ground, a scorch mark appeared on the solid floor, as if it had been burned by intense flames.
Lucario legs ignited with fire as it launched a powerful kick toward the Brions, carrying the momentum to shatter anything in its path.
Fire-type move — Blaze Kick.
Enhanced by Swords Dance, the already formidable move was further amplified by the quadruple effectiveness of the Fire-type attack.
"Boom!"
The Brion that was struck instantly shattered into pieces, utterly destroyed.
Gardevoir and Gengar, specializing in special attacks took up their positions as artillery.
One after another, attacks like Mystical Fire were launched toward the Gold Brions in the rear.
Gardevoir and Gengar seemed to have an endless supply of Aura, unleashing one high-powered move after another.
Each attack was accompanied by a loud explosion, engulfing the Brions behind them.
The Brions were covered in cracks from the bombardment, with no time to heal before the next wave of attacks hit.
This prevented them from being able to strike back at Lucario and the others in the front.
On the other side of Lucario was Snorlax. Facing the oncoming Brions, Snorlax appeared as if it hadn't fully woken up yet.
It casually patted its plump belly, emitting a deep grunt, clearly indicating it was solid inside.
"Thud!"
Its already formidable aura suddenly surged several times stronger.
Normal-type move — Belly Drum.
"Snor..."
Snorlax massive fists also ignited with flames as it delivered a heavy punch toward the Brions.
Amplified by Belly Drum, Snorlax Fire Punch seemed capable of annihilating everything in its path.
"BOOM!!"
The heavy fist, wreathed in leaping flames, struck the Brions.
"Crack, crack..."
With just a couple of punches, the surrounding Brions were shattered into fragments, leaving behind scattered debris.
Even the ground was left with a large, scorched crater.
Blissey, the support, wasn't far behind either.
One after another, massive Rock Slides materialized in mid-air. They then came crashing down on each of the Brions. Combined with its terrifying Serene Grace ability. Countless Brions could only stand still, silently allowing the Pokemon attacks to land on them.
Even in their flinched state, they couldn't disperse their heads to avoid fatal damage.
The sky full of Rock Slides was the final straw that crushed the Brions.
Arcanine, like a fire god, was even more unstoppable, transforming into a fireball and rolling back and forth among the Brions.
Fire-type move — Flame Wheel.
This was Arcanine domain, the perfect stage for it to shine!
With each roll, a Brion was set ablaze, reduced to a pile of ashes. If this were a Pokemon game, it would be the best spot to grind for Fire-type Pokemon.
"This is truly amazing."
Ging eyes sparkled as he watched the Pokemon.
These Nen Beasts were incredibly powerful.
Each one strength would be considered top-tier in the outside world, extremely rare. Paired with their unique abilities, they were even more terrifying. His keen eyes naturally picked up on the abilities they were using.
First, what surprised him was that it seemed all of Akira Nen Beasts could use Fire-type abilities?
Then, each Nen Beast had its own special ability.
Either it was a powerful long-range attack, or an enhancement ability that could instantly multiply one strength several times over.
There was even a rock-like attack that could immobilize enemies, making it difficult for them to move.
Under the assault of Akira Nen Beasts, the once massive army of Brions was rapidly dwindling in numbers. Every side was being held back by Pokemon, not allowing a single Brion to break through the blockade.
This was the army of Pokemon that belonged to Akira.
The army of Brions versus the army of Pokemon.
The outcome was clear, the situation was completely one-sided.
Akira didn't even send out his Dragonite to attack in order to let the other Pokemon gain more experience. If Dragonite were to join the battle, they wouldn't gain much experience.
It wasn't that the Brions were too weak.
Theoretically, the strength of the Brions was on par with that of the Pokemon, both falling within the A range. Moreover, the number of Brions was several times that of the Pokemon.
The main reason was the perfect combination and the miraculous skill effects among the Pokemon. Pokemon battles are never just about raw strength, but also about the ingenious combinations.
Under the Rock Slide from Blissey, the Brions had no way to dodge the attack and could only become targets. Both Lucario and Snorlax used enhancement skills, with each move's power far exceeding their own strength.
At the same time, they used Fire-type skills that were quadruply effective against the Brions when they attacked.
With multiple effects stacked together, the situation presented was one-sided.
This is the charm of Pokemon battles.
Seeing Akira Nen Beasts fighting so vigorously, Ging also thought about joining the battle and fighting side by side. But after looking around, he found that there was actually no room for him to make a move.
Every side was completely covered by the Pokemon and this army of Brions wasn't even enough for them to fight. The step he had just taken was retracted and after hesitating for a while, he decided to just be a spectator.
Just now, Akira was admiring his own battle and now it was Ging turn to admire the battle of Akira Nen Beasts.
Thinking this, Ging took out another fruit from his pocket.
This time, it was a pear.
After wiping it on his robe as before, Ging leisurely began to eat. Anyone with a keen eye would notice that Ging clothes were completely unscathed. They looked exactly the same as when he had entered.
So far, the battles had been a breeze for him, merely a warm-up. Dealing with the Brions was a bit troublesome, but only slightly. As a top-tier powerhouse at the pinnacle of the six continents, Ging wouldn't be troubled by these Brions.
As one of the five major calamities, the Brions were relatively weak.
In the V5 classification of danger levels, they were rated as B+.
Other calamities, such as "Ai" and the Hellbell, were rated as A.
It's worth mentioning that the Chimera Ants' danger level was B. This danger level was determined by considering four aspects: Brutality, numbers, reproductive ability, and destructive power.
The true danger of the Brions lay in their pervasive parasitic ability and formidable destructive power. Their reproductive ability was strong, given enough human hosts, they could easily create a large swarm of Brions.
Moreover, their destructive power rating was even higher than their reproductive ability.
Here, destructive power mainly refers to their impact on the surrounding environment, not just their individual strength.
For example, if a single Brion suddenly appeared in any city, it wouldn't be long before many more were spawned. The city would easily be doomed to destruction and if one wasn't careful, the number of Brions would snowball, growing larger and larger.
Their individual strength was also not to be underestimated, it was only because they were facing Ging and Akira that they seemed so weak.
Anyone else would likely not have been able to escape.
Even a small ancient labyrinth city was this perilous.
What, then, would the true ancient labyrinth cities on the Dark Continent be like?
As the last Brion was taken down by Arcanine, the battlefield was littered with "corpses," not a single Brion remained intact.
Without exception, all bore the marks of being scorched by flames.
The enemy was completely annihilated.
The Pokemon had only expended some Aura and suffered almost no damage.
After this "level grinding," the Pokemon also experienced a collective level-up.
First, Gardevoir, Snorlax, and Lucario all advanced from A to A+.
Pokemon like Arcanine and Gengar, who were already A+, were now even closer to reaching the S rank!
After this battle, every Pokemon had gained a lot.
It also made Akira look forward to more such opportunities in the future. But there was no need to force it, as such events would be common once they reached the Dark Continent.
There would be no shortage of targets to gain experience from.
