After several rounds of intense clashing, the sounds in the arena came to an abrupt halt.
Inside the ice cave, the twins and Eugene stood facing each other at a distance.
At this moment, both sides had suffered a decline in their physical and mental state.
The twins’ pink dance outfits were torn in multiple places, and they bore various degrees of injury.
Although Eugene had no visible wounds, his Nen reserves were significantly depleted, leading to the awkward realization that he was running out of steam.
What a pair of troublesome twins…
Eugene’s triangular eyes flashed with a sinister glint as he muttered to himself.
He had expended a vast amount of Nen and stamina in this fight; it was rare for him to encounter such tenacious opponents.
But fortunately, he was finally about to grasp victory.
After numerous exchanges, he had already gauged the twins’ power levels and weaknesses.
The next round would be the finishing blow!
At the same time, Maggio realized the battle had reached its climax.
Every subsequent step would be critical, and he was forced to make a silent choice in the depths of his heart…
They locked eyes.
Both sides vanished from their spots almost simultaneously, turning into blurring afterimages.
When they reappeared, they were already at the center of the arena.
“Die for me!”
Eugene roared, his palm—large as a palm-leaf fan—striking directly at Magis’s head, creating a terrifying gale that stung the face.
This palm strike was infused with a massive amount of Nen, but he didn’t actually expect it to kill Magis outright.
Based on their previous behavior, the twins cared deeply for one another.
If he attacked one, the other would undoubtedly move to support.
To his surprise, the older brother, Maggio, seemed to be suffering from exhaustion and fell a step behind the younger brother, Magis.
This filled Eugene with wild joy!
The opportunity had arrived!
He had to seize this opening.
If he could kill one of them, the remaining one would no longer be a threat, and the winner would be decided.
At the critical moment, he gritted his teeth and increased the output of Nen to his right arm, determined to bring Magis down with this single strike.
He didn’t care if it consumed even more of his remaining Nen!
In the blink of an eye, the right palm, shrouded in terrifying Nen, struck the arm Magis had extended in defense.
With a sharp crack, the arm snapped, and the palm’s momentum continued unabated, slamming into the boy’s head.
I got him!
Eugene was overjoyed, a triumphant smile spreading across his face.
However, that smile lasted for only a fleeting second.
In the next instant, Magis exploded, transforming into flickering Nen that dissipated into the air.
Nothing was left behind, as if he had never existed.
In that same moment, Eugene’s expression shifted again.
His pupils contracted violently as he stared in horror at the disappearing Nen that was once Magis.
Before he could react, he saw a bloodshot-eyed Maggio charging at him with incredible speed, seizing the moment of his overextension and shock to launch an assault.
Bang!
Maggio struck Eugene squarely in the chest.
His fist, condensed with nearly 50% of his total Nen, punched a massive hole right through the “skin suit.” Through the opening in the suit, one could even see the sleeping Delian inside.
It’s over!
Eugene’s heart sank in panic, just as an unbearable wave of pain washed over him.
He had focused so much Nen into his hand for the attack that his defenses were insufficient, allowing Maggio to shatter the skin suit in one hit.
Once his Nen ability was broken, he was forced out of his transformed state.
He was passively ejected from his sister’s body, falling to the ground like a limp piece of discarded cloth, unable to recover in the short term.
With the fusion broken, the sister, Delian, also woke up.
The first thing she saw upon opening her eyes was the murderous Maggio.
Naturally timid, she was caught off guard and raised her hands in an instinctive attempt to block.
If she hadn’t moved, she might have been fine, but by taking action, she deactivated the effect of her own Nen ability, “Everything is Fine as Long as You Don’t Move.” Without the protection of her Nen, and with most of her own aura having been squandered by her brother Eugene, Delian was currently incredibly fragile.
“The ones who are going to die…
are you!”
The “berserk” Maggio unleashed several punches, killing her on the spot.
Maggio stood there, drenched in blood like a bloodthirsty beast.
His eyes were filled with a murderous aura as he stared down at Eugene, who was still trapped in the tattered remains of the skin suit.
Seeing this, an unbelievable thought dawned on Eugene.
Magis…
was made of Nen?
In other words, from the very beginning, Magis wasn’t a living person!
As the thought flashed through his mind, Eugene finally understood.
Because the twins had never shown their Nen abilities before, he had subconsciously believed they were telling the truth about being Enhancers.
Now it was clear he was dead wrong!
These two were actually one person; from start to finish, only Maggio was a living human.
That so-called younger brother, Magis, was a damn clone!
This explained why every part of the two of them was identical.
While it was normal for twins to look and act alike, the fact that even their micro-expressions and combat habits were carbon copies of each other clearly exceeded the bounds of normality.
He truly hadn’t expected this; Magis had been so lifelike that it was practically unheard of for a conjured product.
Anyone in his position would have been blindsided by the trick Maggio had kept up his sleeve.
“Surprised, aren’t you?” Maggio casually flicked the blood from his fingertips and stood before Eugene.
He looked down coldly, peering at the skin-suit Eugene pinned to the floor.
“Don’t worry, I’m in no rush to kill you.”
“I will torture you to death bit by bit to vent the fury in my heart.
Now that the obstacles are gone, I can tell you everything so you can die with understanding,” Maggio sneered, stepping on Eugene as he explained.
“My brother, Magis…
he isn’t a living person in the traditional sense.”
“He is a clone I created using my Nen, but his every move is controlled by the brother inside my own head…”
As it turned out, Maggio was an extreme narcissist.
Not only was he obsessed with ballet and other forms of dance, but he was also deeply in love with every aspect of himself.
He thought it would be wonderful if he could see his own image at every moment.
A mirror?
No, a mirror could only show one side of him, and it wasn’t vivid enough.
Over time, his psyche split into another personality—the younger brother, Magis.
Later, after he encountered Nen, he developed the ability “The Flawless Me.” This ability allowed him to create a clone identical to himself, and the clone’s existence had no time limit.
Constraint 1: The clone has no thoughts of its own and must be controlled by the main body.
He had always used his second personality to control the clone.
Constraint 2: While the clone exists, the power is split equally between the main body and the clone, meaning the original Nen is halved.
Constraint 3: If the clone is forcibly destroyed, it takes at least one month of recuperation before it can be manifested again.
In his eyes, the brother Magis was simply another version of himself, so he cherished him immensely.
Even though he could manifest the clone again and see his “brother” in a month, he was currently in a towering rage.
In his mind, Eugene had killed him—had killed his brother.
After hearing Maggio’s explanation, not only did Eugene “find peace,” but even Lynn, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn’t help but want to applaud.
