I was sitting on the tree branch not far away from the battlefield. The Chimera Ants started to leave the proximity of the Nest and tried to move battlefield away from the Nest to protect Queen. The Brotherhood of Steel moved with the Ant army, but the Vigilants of Stendarr stood where they are. Their aim was to destroy the Chimera Ants, and Phantom Troupe. Because Phantom Troupe moved with Brotherhood of Steel, and their aim was Spider with the Chimera Ants all along, Vigilants of Stendarr joined the fray and battlefield moved far away from the Nest.
Their initial plan was to let three parties fight each other, while they could kill the Queen, but if even the Neferpitou left the battlefield to chase them, they would be in great danger.
The relocation of the battlefield was aking to tug of war, between four parties, and fun to watch. If one party decided to go another way, all parties would attack each other immediately. But neither party wanted to walk away from this chance came to their feet. For the Brotherhood of Steel, it was killing Phantom Troupe with the help of two others, and make a deal with the Chimera Ants.
For the Vigilants of Stendarr, it was killing the Phantom Troupe and Chimera Ants, in this mayhem without offending Brotherhood of Steel.
For Phantom Troupe, destroy two parties have killed their members, and get the help of the monsters in the meantime.
And for Chimera Ants, it was killing the all enemies can create obstacles for their Kings, on his way to the Throne.
The new battlefield wasn't so far away from my vision, so I didn't move but kept watching. Every leader was planning their next move because each party had to deal at least the other two parties. The one in most unadvantageous position was Phantom Troupe. The others had their backings, but Spider had to deal with three of them with the 12 people. They recruited two more the time I was away. One of them was Illumi, probably hired for this fight alone.
The other was a little girl, or that was I thought. Crow told me he was Killua's little brother Kalluto. 'He is a trap?' I couldn't help but ask. He was looking like a girl.
"Yes. There are lots of trap in these kinds of Worlds. Get used to it." said Crow. Well, I guess it is normal for some people.
The battlefield divided in an instant. Isran, Neferpitou, Knight-Captain Cade, and Lucilfer started to fight their own. Their two supporters also followed behind them. For Lucilfer these were Kurtopi and Pakunoda.
Battlefield also divided into parts. And the most disadvantaged team was Phantom Troupe because their number was least. They were usually taking cover behind Chimera Ants because saw through the Brotherhood of Steel don't want to attack Chimera Ants, while Vigilants of Stendarr want to attack them.
Lucilfer was very good at with team play. When her attacks were in cooldown, he was hiding behind Kurtopi where latter was creating a shield copied from an original one, covering for the team, Pakunoda was shooting with her pistol in the meantime.
Isran was fighting with Neferpitou, and his shield was about the break with Neferpitou's mere punches. Knight-Captain Cade attacked with his Nen once, creating a huge sound wave to fray everyone in the battlefield, but when he noticed he is also damaging Chimera Ants, he stopped using it and started to attack with his laser guns. After all, his mission was to recruit Chimera Ants.

The other side of the battlefield, Feitan and Phinks were fighting with three Brotherhood of Steel executives, four Vigilants of Stendarr executives and two Squad Leader of the Chimera Ants. They weren't as good as Lucilfer, because they weren't a mastermind in planning, and their fighting style was based on quick fights. But soon all battlefield learned to injure Feitan is a bad thing.
As soon as few of his limbs broke, he started to use his language once again, and all of the Phantom Troupe run away. But this time neither party was foot soldiers. All commanders called back their underlings and covered for them, only a few of the weakest died under Feitan's strongest attack. After that, fight carried on. Each team sent their strongest to fight against Feitan.
Vigilants of Stendarr was first to lose. Their defense was low, and they were weaker compared to others. Isran was still holding, but most of them died. The balance shifted, and three teams started to fight once more, but this time Phantom Troupe was about to lose. When Vigilants of Stendarr lost, both Brotherhood of Steel and Chimera Ants focused on Spider. And they started to fall back while taking their ground.
At this moment, one of the Vigilants of Stendarr, sitting behind Isran all this while created thousands of Sword from thin air. The swords aimed at all battlefield because they were enemy of the all battlefield anyway.
The swords started to spin so ruthlessly, anyone hit by them would disintegrate in an instant. The man's blood was flowing from his every orifice. He was about to collapse, and the all swords rain to the battlefield, and the user died. With him, most of the Chimera Ants, Brotherhood of Steel warriors died, and from Phantom Troupe Machi and Shalnark pierced by Sword. Rest of the team hid quickly.
'What the hell was this? It was some kind of Manipulation type attack but way too strong.' I was shocked beyond belief. Since when Nen could create such a strong attack. If I didn't feel the Nen the man used just before he attacked, I would think it was something special he acquired in the Upper Realm, but I was sure, it was a Nen-based attack.
"It was Vows and Limitations!" said Crow and continued, "This was the thing I tried to protect you all this while. By making a Vow to kill you, and limit your Nen ability you can create something stronger than any normal Nen user can reach. For example, this guy created something this strong in exchange of his life.
Being a product of the mind, Nen responds to the goals, strengths, and desires of individual users. As a result, a user of Nen can increase the overall power of a specific skill by stating a self-imposed restriction that forces even more limitations on it. For example, if one consciously decides something along the lines of "I will only use this skill on Thursdays" or "I will only use this skill against short people" and manages to abide by that rule, that particular skill will become stronger. These restrictions are called "Limitations" and the act of swearing to respect them "Vow" or "Contract" The stricter the Limitation, the stronger the user's resolve, and thus the more their ability is strengthened. However, Limitations are also considered liabilities, since the power they grant is not consistent.
Unlike normal conditions, which set the general parameters of an ability, and activation requirements, which determine the causes in which said ability can be used, a Limitation can be broken; however, doing so not only entails the loss of the ability it was used on, but it also carries the risk of annihilating one's capacity to use Nen altogether. Limitations that contain some sort of punishment for example "I will die if I break this rule" will strengthen the ability even further. An example is provided by Kurapika, who swore on his own life not to use an ability on anyone but the Phantom Troupe." Crow summarized the Wikia in one breath.
'So this guy Vowed on his life, and acquired such a strength? Can anyone do that?' I asked if I could have this kind of strength, I could kill anyone, giving how strong I am now.
"This was the thing I was scared most. Not everyone can do that. First of all, you need to have strong emotions, and you have to obey too many rules. Mostly it ends with the death of a person. Don't you dare to even think about it." warned me Crow, but I started to think what ifs...
