337 HxH: The Strongest Assassin

"Because of the existence of the Land of Nirvana, the Kingdom of Fiora has prospered for generations."

"Even if the inheritors selected by the Three Avenues aren't the most gifted, they can still receive an immense boost in strength after undergoing the trials of the Land of Nirvana."

"If someone gains control over this power, they could replicate that same process."

"It would be an invaluable asset to both the Kakin Empire and the Mimbo Republic."

"Kakin already has t...

Kaizen's pupils shrank.

The weapons these people wielded were far beyond ordinary. Even if they weren't as formidable as Poor Man's Rose, they weren't much weaker. The greatest difference lay in the massive figure looming at the center of the battlefield.

The middle-aged Kurta man controlling the giant's body looked grim.

A surge of unnatural aura enveloped him, and his skin began to fester.

Boom!

The giant vanished.

The man no longer had the stren...

Korudol stood at the top of the slope, gazing toward the Chimera Ant nest, his expression tinged with concern.

"Korudol, you can use Nen as well, can't you?"

Netero's voice rang out behind him, prompting Korudol to restrain his emotions slightly. He turned around and nodded.

"Then~"

Netero, now back on solid ground, took a slow breath. The muscles in his body twitched, and an overwhelming surge of aura exploded from him in an instant.

What's more, Leol's Nen ability, [Rental Pod], is quite similar to Chrollo's [Skill Hunter]!

Both allow them to use other people's Nen, but the key difference is that Leol borrows it, while Chrollo outright steals it.

Because of these similarities, fans often compare the two, leading to heated debates.

Leol's [Rental Pod] lets him borrow another person's Nen after securing a favor.

To borrow someone's Nen, he must fulfill two conditions:

He must have seen the tar...

Scyan's voice dripped with malice as she spat out her words, along with a few drops of black-blue liquid that sizzled against the ground, corroding it instantly. Her body underwent a grotesque transformation—her once lithe figure swelled unnaturally, her smooth skin darkened into a sickly blue, and her arms expanded, her fingers merging together. Her thumbs grew disproportionately large, morphing into a massive pair of pincers.

"So this is your true form? An ant spliced with scorpion ...

Those gathered in the passage were all division commanders and their combat soldier subordinates.

"Cute? Do you even understand the meaning of that word? Or do ants just have a bizarre sense of aesthetics?"

"Shut up! Stop acting so smug, you worthless bug! You're nothing more than food!!"

The moment Scyan, enraged by Ronnel's words, finished speaking, he lunged from within the swarm, thrusting her scorpion-like tail needle straight at him.

Kaizen's eyes followed the sudden flash of movement.

This person's abilities, at first glance, bore some resemblance to the techniques used by the Zoldyck family. But upon closer inspection, there was also an element of spatial manipulation at play.

"If the previous guy reminded me of Uchiha Obito, then this one is like a fusion of Uchiha Shisui and Namikaze Minato."

"Both of them were incredibly strong in their own right."

"Among A-rank Nen users, these two could be c...

Kaizen scanned the battlefield, taking in the familiar faces around him.

Larkin from the Aiyi family stood nearby, his hands gripping a pair of stolen Scarlet Eyes, their eerie red glow pulsing ominously.

Not far from him was Machi, someone Kaizen had once worked with. However, she hadn't joined the fight, standing slightly apart as the rest of the Phantom Troupe assembled.

Their formation was clear.

Uvogin and Phinks stood at the front, leading the charge, with Nobuna...

"You little brat, get lost!"

"This one's mine!"

A rough-looking woman lunged forward, her attacks vicious and unrelenting, aiming directly for Kaizen's vitals.

If she landed a hit, Kaizen would be seriously injured—if not dead.

A figure stepped between them.

A shimmering shield formed in front of Natsu.

Clang!

The woman's strike collided with the barrier, producing the sharp ring of metal on metal.

Kaizen's gaze locked onto her, his b...

As the number of monsters continued to increase, Kaizen instinctively took a step back.

At that moment, the sounds of battle erupted from another direction.

"Come!" A commanding, forceful voice rang out.

Kaizen turned his head and saw a young man launching a flurry of punches—one, two, three, winding up for a devastating strike.

"Ripper Cyclotron!"

The man had short blond hair and a fierce expression, his presence exuding raw aggression. Kaizen recognized him i...

While Korudol sought help from Ronnel and the others, elsewhere, in the ant queen's palace...

After the Ant King and his Royal Guards left, making it clear they had no need for the rest of the colony, the remaining Squadron Leaders looked at Peggy, who had been devoured, then at the dying queen and the soldier ants desperately tending to her.

The old squid-like ant treated her wounds, stopping the bleeding and stitching her up. A tense silence settled over the room.

"Then, I'll go ahead and check out the situation first."

Both men had the same thought but said nothing, stepping forward together. In the distance, a black speck in the sky rapidly approached.

Just as Ronnel had said, there was only one figure—something felt off. The white flag in their hand was unmistakable.

A surrender?

"We wish to surrender to you!!"

The voice reached them before the figure did, echoing with urgency.

So it really is a surrender.

"This tastes awful~"

The sound of chewing made Korudol instinctively look up.

What he saw next made his eyes widen in shock.

The Ant King was devouring the corpses of Peggy and the turtle-like Chimera Ant, chewing noisily. With a disgusted expression, he spat out an unidentifiable mass and carelessly tossed Peggy's mutilated remains aside.

"!!!"

The Squadron Leaders gasped, their mouths agape. Unconscious, distressed noises escaped them.

"That cry... The Queen is in serious trouble!"

Peggy adjusted his small, round glasses, hurriedly stepping forward on his short legs as he rushed toward the Queen's chamber, Korudol close behind him.

At the same time, the other Squadron Leaders who had heard the commotion also made their way toward the Queen's residence.

Meanwhile, in a small hidden apartment some distance from the nest—

Kaizen was completely satisfied with his own performance just now. It was a true display of his strength.

In this area, there were beasts that could rival Kaizen in power, though they were ultimately weaker than him. These creatures possessed strong regenerative abilities, but even they had their limits. Once the damage exceeded a certain threshold, they would disappear.

"So, if I had kept attacking that guy, I could have taken him down," Kaizen mused. "I wouldn't even need Rotten...

Kaizen could feel it.

This was the moment.

Just after absorbing the lingering aura of death—

Boom!

It was like breaking through a bottleneck.

His weapon, the Rotten Knife, had awakened.

Kaizen drew the Rotten Knife, gripping it tightly in his hand. The once crude and bone-like weapon now gleamed with a metallic sheen, its shape shifting before his eyes. The handle had transformed into something resembling polished wood, while the blade it...

The scene before Kaizen felt strangely familiar, like a place he had visited before.

It reminded him of the Land of Nirvana in the Kingdom of Fiora.

"This place... it's almost identical to the Land of Nirvana."

"The scenery, the atmosphere..."

"If I'm not mistaken, these corpses most likely belong to the Kurta Clan."

Kaizen glanced at the water-crystal ball before him. The progress indicator had reached -20%.

He had to admit—the rate of absorbing traits t...

A single figure stood in the dimly lit chamber.

No, to be precise, it was a mummy.

Its clothes were tattered and decayed. Its muscles had long since withered away, leaving its skin clinging tightly to its bones, making it look more like a skeleton than a person. A sinister aura radiated from its body, though it wasn't quite the aura of death—it carried something else, something unnatural.

"Judging by its aura, it's around a C-rank," Kaizen murmured, his eyes flickering wit...

Ronnel didn't find the situation too troublesome—dealing with a bunch of ants on the ground was hardly a challenge.

During this time, he and the others had gathered intelligence on the types and distribution of Chimera Ants.

At the top of their hierarchy was the Queen, followed by the unborn King. Beneath them were the three Royal Guards, and below them, the Squadron Leaders.

There were a total of thirty Squadron Leaders. Among them were Chiona, a seven-star ladybug, and a...

Netero would never pass up the chance to fight such an exciting opponent, even if it meant betting his life.

Otherwise, Morel could have simply ordered his Purple Haze Soldiers to attach Poor Man's Rose bombs to their bodies and charge into the nest before the Ant King was born, detonating while it was still vulnerable and in need of nutrients.

That would have made things much easier.

And even if the Poor Man's Rose was contraband, weren't there other bombs they could use? View Post

"What do you think we should do?"

The moment the discussion turned to business, Netero's playful expression faded, his eyes sharpening with focus.

"First, may I ask—what exactly is our primary objective?" Ronnel turned to Netero.

"Naturally, our goal is to eliminate the Chimera Ants, specifically the Queen, to prevent the birth of an Ant King."

Morel took a drag from his cigarette and exhaled. "That's our main priority."

"I see." Ronnel nodded. "So, our current...

As Killua watched the four figures fade into the distance, Netero suddenly spoke:

"I've arranged for two hunters in the nearest town. Whether you fight them or not is up to you. However, if you defeat them, come after us."

With that, he flicked two wooden tokens from his hands, sending them tumbling to the ground in front of Killua.

"If you still intend to live as Hunters."

Killua stared at the tokens, his eyes widening as something stirred within him—like a lost mot...

"One, spider!"

Kaizen wasn't surprised by this.

Since he planned to visit the hidden place of the Kurta tribe, it was inevitable he would run into members of the Phantom Troupe.

He had seen Franklin before.

It wasn't the first time he'd noticed him, but this time, the encounter felt different—closer.

Kaizen saw the other party, but they hadn't noticed him yet. This was a rare opportunity.

At this moment, only Kaizen and Machi were nearby.

"Altan, levitate!"

Following Kaizen's order, Altan's figure floated up.

It came to a low altitude, about ten meters above the ground.

Under normal circumstances, this levitation ability would be useless.

Even for Nen users, including those with melee-type Nen, they can still be easily attacked.

Unlike Wendy's ability, which allows her to fly hundreds of meters above the ground.

But right now, this ability just happens to be useful.

Kaizen made a decision in his mind.

The first important point was to absorb the characteristics of the Kurta tribe.

The second was to obtain the spirit of the Kurta tribe.

In the next moment, Kaizen found himself in a completely unfamiliar place.

By all logic, crossing the entrance of the cave should lead into the cave itself.

But what Kaizen was facing now was far from expected.

Instead, he was standing in a dense forest.

The trees were towering, and...

Everyone turned quickly at the sound of the voice.

A few figures stood ahead, blocking their way.

"We discovered this place. We can't let you just stroll in."

Kaizen frowned slightly.

Those who came here were no strangers to danger.

They had the power of perception and were quite clever.

They hadn't directly shared their findings, but they hadn't completely blocked access either. Instead, they had suggested negotiating terms.

This would provoke resist...

"Is he an eyewitness to this incident?"

After stepping inside, Knov took a look around. His entire demeanor was subdued. Killua, standing against the dark background, his expression heavy, moved his lips as if about to say something sarcastic, but in the end, he remained silent.

If he hadn't met Ronnel, he might have dismissed the situation entirely. But with Ronnel involved, things were different now.

It was understandable that Killua was acting this way.

The purification of the Cruz Cemetery and the excavation of numerous relics would completely dispel the lingering death and resentment that had haunted relic hunters and explorers alike.

Ronnel did the math. If his timing was correct, the Chimera Ant crisis was about to begin.

The ant that Gon and Killua encountered should be Neferpitou. Kite must have almost managed to roll [Crazy Slots]'s number 1 ability, and survived the battle in another form.

Which meant that Netero's reason for calling him was...

Of course, it was because he refused to be defined by his father's legacy that others labeled him: the son of Chairman Netero.

Ronnel made this point clear, though it was ultimately meaningless. He simply wanted Beyond to understand that he shouldn't let emotions cloud his judgment when it came to matters related to Netero.

Naturally, Ronnel was also aware of the agreement between Beyond and Netero.

Only after Netero's death could Beyond enter the Dark Continent.
