Chapter 178: End of the battle
Ultimately, Blaize's beam punctured Netero's Nen construct and blazed forward striving to incinerate Netero.
Clearly feeling the destructive energy within the golden beam, Netero jumped back and distanced himself, evading the strike effortlessly.
'Boom!'
With nowhere and no one to vent, the beam struck the ground where Netero stood last and ruined it down into a huge crater, melting part of the rocks into magma.
Blaize let out a long breath as he gazed at Netero. He didn't expect the latter would evade the strike at the last moment as he thought the other party would use everything to block it.
Without a doubt, he misjudged Netero's fighting style. It's the difference between One Piece world and Hunter world.
'Fighting Netero is exhausting. His 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva is powerful. Let's try that trick.' Blaize mused and deactivated his God's domain.
The next moment, his heat aura returned to its normal state before transmuting into a lightning one that's purple in color. Blaize's entire body sparkled with purple lightning.
This Nen ability is similar to Killua's God's Speed but in terms of power and destructiveness, it's more outstanding than Killua's.
To match against Netero's speed and reflex, his only choice is to boost his speed to the latter's level. If he can use his devil fruit powers, it's a different concept. But for now, he can only resort to this trick.
The only problem is, even he can't use this lightning trick for long as the level of its destructiveness is enough to injure his physique.
Thankfully, with his Senju power, he can heal his cells as soon as they get burned.
'Lightning?' Seeing Blaize's new ability, Netero was taken aback for a moment before muttering, 'How many more tricks he has under his sleeve? it seems to be endless.'
Netero took his prayer stance while the Nen construct that disappeared previously once again reappeared in its 100-type form with no damages.
Blaize smiled while he vanished the next moment, making Netero gasp in surprise. But, before the latter could react Blaize appeared in front and punched him.
Netero only had the time to make a simple hand movements with his right hand. The Nen construct behind him acted instantly and smashed at Blaize with its fist.
This time, Blaize was able to react to the strike as his speed is countless times faster than before.
Jumping a little, he kicked at the Nen construct hand by channeling fifty percent of his aura to his leg while the other fifty to his fist.
His kick destroyed part of Guanyin Bodhisattva's hand and using the momentum, Blaize pushed towards Netero with his punch aimed at the latter's face.
To dodge the strike, Netero had no choice but to back away. It hurt his pride more than anything as it was the second time that he was forced to move back.
After a long time, he felt anger in himself. With his emotions disturbed, an overpowering Ren burst from him, stronger than ever.
Feeling his aura, Blaize wasn't scared but instead was excited so he made his move by zipping toward Netero.
'Clash!' They both clashed once again and battled with extreme speed and reflex.
After ten minutes, Blaize finally found the opening that he sought. With quick speed, he bypassed Netero's defense and punched him squarely in the jaw with everything he had.
The punch sent Netero flying in the air, and his body dropped some meters away from the initial position.
After the strike, Blaize's lightning form disappeared while he dropped to his knees with a burning smell coming out of him. The next moment, his injuries healed on their own as he rose to his feet.
It's understandable that he was injured as he's not Killua who's familiarized with electricity from a small age. He used the power of lightning forcibly.
On the other side, Netero also rose to his feet. He had a bruise on his jaw and drops of blood trickled from the corner of his lips.
Wiping it away, he spoke. "Ahh! I got old. It would have been good if I met someone of your caliber a few decades back!"
Blaize shook his head. "Chairman Netero, you are strong and a formidable challenger.
"Don't flatter me! I know you haven't used your full strength, what are you saving it for?" Netero stroked his beard and joked in a nonchalant tone.
"Anyway, it was nice fighting you." Fighting against Netero, Blaize understood how he should spend his time to improve himself.
"What do you plan on doing next?" Netero asked. If possible, he wants to keep Blaize with the hunter association and give him some position.
A person of Blaize's caliber is no joke as his strength is simply outstanding. Even so, Netero could tell Blaize isn't a bad person so he doesn't mind where the other party goes.
"I'm going to travel the world. We will meet again, soon, Chairman Netero!" Saying this, Blaize waved his hand and his coat transformed into a small cloud.
As he jumped onto it, Little white soared into the sky disappearing from view.
Looking at the disappearing back of Blaize, Netero sighed. 'He's so strong at a such young age. Where did he pop up from, why there's no record of him?'
At that moment, Beans, Menchi, Buhara, and Satotz approached Netero from the distance.
The battle of this level was an eye-opener for them and even made them wonder, 'can one's strength reach such a level?'
"Chairman, are you okay?" Beans asked in a worried tone. When he saw Blaize successfully punching Netero, his heart stopped for a moment as he was the backbone of the hunter association.
"I am good!" Netero nonchalantly replied.

Blaize lay on the back of Little white and thought of the battle with Netero. 'With my current strength, I won't be able to defeat the Ant King without burning some drops of God's Blood.
Well...there's still a year left before the incident happens. I need to train properly to enhance my Haki and Nen.'
His next target is Phantom Troupe. For that, he just has to be in Yorknew city after five months to meet them. In the meantime, he plans to roam the hunter world.

Author's note: I am extremely sorry about the long absence. I couldn't find time to write. And, I lost the feeling to write because of poor story planning.
As I am writing after a long time, I find it hard to complete a chapter in a short time. I'm getting back into the form. Give me some time, the novel will be soon back to a stable release.
Thanks for the support even during my absence. I will try my best to deliver the story more enjoyable to read and complete it with a proper ending.
