September 3rd: Part 15 (9
Synopsis[]
Chrollo activating Skill Hunter to use Owl's ability
As the destruction from the Phantom Troupe continues outside the Cemetery Building and several Mafia members are seen lying dead in the street, the Zoldycks continue their fight against Chrollo, with Zeno slowly approaching him and focusing his aura into his hand. Chrollo recognizes this and realizes that he won't be able to guard against a strike with such potential, suddenly summoning his book and using his Skill Hunter ability. He opens the book to a page with Owl's image on it and conjures his Fun Fun Cloth.
Zeno worries about the conjured cloak and guesses that it's a stolen ability, assuring himself that Chrollo is only using it to buy time. After activating his Dragon Head, he then uses his Dragon Lance to send out the dragon-shaped mass of aura. Chrollo dodges the initial strike, but Zeno chuckles and quickly redirects it toward him, with Chrollo unable to avoid the strike completely as it grazes his side. Zeno realizes that Chrollo's conjured book allows him to trap abilities and access them as long as he holds the book open.
Although Chrollo moves closer toward him with the cloak, Zeno tells himself that it doesn't seem like he plans to attack, guessing that the cloak only activates when the target is close enough or it's used to counterattack. He adds that they only need to keep their distance and wait for their chance to strike. As Zeno's attacks continue to keep him back, Chrollo is impressed that Zeno instantly figured out his plan, closing his book once he realizes that he will be unable to capture him alive.
Zeno and Silva preparing to kill Chrollo
Silva notes that the ability disappears when the book is closed, impressed that Chrollo is able to watch him while still barely dodging Zeno's attacks. He remembers his previous encounter with Chrollo and realizes how much he has improved, thinking that they may have to die to stop him. As Silva expands his aura and draws Chrollo's attention, Zeno captures him with his Dragon Lance and pins him against a wall. He follows up with a flurry of punches as Chrollo attempts to block them. Zeno suddenly yells out for his son to do it, and after quickly leaping into the air, Silva summons two large orbs of aura around each of his hands and releases them. After the blast shakes the entire building, Kurapika and Light are left wondering what the cause was.
