052 (Vol 2) HxH: Tombbound Power

"You think I'd willingly take this trash with me?"

Leorio looked aggrieved as he brushed off the filth clinging to him. Annoyed, he complained,

"I finally climbed out of the sewer, and the first thing I hear is a commotion. Then I see you guys in trouble, so of course, I had no choice but to step in and help!"

He shot a glare at the unconscious thug on the ground, his expression full of disdain.

"This bastard's the one who threw me into the sewer! He's definitely not a...

"Besides, I can tell this isn't your full strength, is it?"

Ronnel listened, smiled, and said nothing, silently confirming the assumption.

"A cloning ability, explosive attacks, and a poison technique strong enough to push Gel to the brink of death… You're becoming more and more unpredictable, Ronnel~"

"Still, I understand. Who doesn't have secrets these days? As long as you're still Bisky's apprentice or a disciple of Shingen-ryu, what does it matter if you have a few hid...

307 HxH: The Strongest Assassin

A massive pillar of fire shot into the sky, its diameter spanning tens of meters. But its height was even more astonishing.

Higher. Higher. Higher.

It soared at a terrifying speed, quickly reaching Kaizen and Wendy's position. Faced with the raging flames, the two had no choice but to use their aura for defense, rapidly draining their energy reserves.

Kaizen was holding up better—his aura reserves were among the highest in his tier. But Wendy wasn't as fortunate. While she...

"Her body turned into flames?"

"Elemental transformation?"

The moment Kaizen saw Allie's ability in action, he immediately thought of Logia-type Devil Fruit users from One Piece—those who could transform into natural elements like fire, lightning, ice, or sand, rendering them immune to physical attacks.

"But this guy's ability isn't just simple elementalization," Kaizen thought. "This world doesn't have Haki, but Nen is never absolute. If an ability exist...

The objective had been achieved—Allie's ability had successfully suppressed the Dark Hunter base.

Even the formidable A-rank Gunter found himself powerless against Allie's flames. The base was in complete chaos.

Taking advantage of the disorder, Akney infiltrated the Dark Hunters and eliminated most of their members.

Meanwhile, Gaunt charged toward Akney, but Akney remained composed. The remaining Dark Hunters were no longer a threat to him, and while he wasn't a combat sp...

Two days later, another member of the Dark Hunter team was dead.

Gaunt's expression turned grim.

The atmosphere in the hall grew heavy, a suffocating silence stretching between them.

After a long pause, Gunter finally spoke.

"Stop the investigation."

His voice was cold and measured. "Whoever we're dealing with is too good at hiding. Our current methods are useless."

He exhaled slowly, then continued, "All members, fall back. Wait until they come for Rosgel'...

When Jed let out that laugh, Netero knew it was truly over.

"Why did you come this far, Jed?"

Netero's expression was complicated as he closed his eyes, a rare trace of pain flickering across his face.

It had been agonizing enough when they eradicated the Shadow, and he had to use the Bodhisattva to personally send off an old comrade for the last time. But who would have thought that same comrade would return from the dead, only to meet such a tragic end yet again?

His steps faltered slightly, his body trembling.

If not for the last traces of energy keeping him upright and concealing his wounds, he might not have even been able to stand. Even so, he couldn't stop the black-red blood dripping from the gaping wound in his chest.

The bleeding was slow, sluggish. Most of the injuries on Jed's body had been seared by the explosion—charred flesh, overcooked and brittle. Blood couldn't freely flow from something so thoroughly burned.

"Hah!"

Under Jed's astonished gaze, his unstoppable fist tore straight through Ronnel's chest!

Is he throwing his life away on purpose?

The thought surfaced in Jed's mind, but he quickly dismissed it.

What a joke. We've reached this point, and you're telling me he deliberately let himself get hit?

No one would believe that!

But if he's not throwing his life away, that means he must have something up his sleeve!

Jed immediately height...

"Quite the commotion~"

Hisoka glanced around, observing his playing cards embedded in various instruments within the control room. His gaze lingered on Shura, who was now pinned to the large display screen, lifeless. Then, in his usual nonchalant manner, he turned away.

"It's different from Nen—powerful but far too extreme. Doesn't suit my style~"

With that, he strolled toward the exit, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

The dimly lit main control room fell into eerie...

The car came to a stop.

Gaunt stepped out.

He opened the door, moving through a long corridor before halting abruptly.

"Team Leader."

Several people turned to look at him. He gave a slight nod.

Kaizen stood among the gathered crowd, his gaze falling on Ralph.

Gaunt spoke. "All members of the Keek City Dark Hunter Team are here."

"We originally had over twenty operatives, but just now, nearly all of the squad led by Ina was wiped out."

Ralph shook his head. "It's work-related, but it shouldn't be a big problem. Someone higher up has already been sent to handle it."

He turned to Kaizen and Wendy. "Thank you."

Ralph bowed deeply to them. "The life we have now is all thanks to you. Otherwise, we'd still be struggling in the slums—if we even survived."

He knew the dangers well. Those creatures killed each other mercilessly. If you were exposed, you were as good as dead. The fused monsters were undoubtedly st...

Lacus's expression darkened, his thoughts swirling in turmoil.

"Teacher, what do you mean?"

"Do you think I'm so much weaker than Kaizen?"

"I'm your disciple—why don't you look at me the same way?"

"What does he have that I don't?"

"Are you saying even you wouldn't be able to defeat him?"

"Hmph, I don't believe it."

Yet, deep down, Lacus knew the truth.

Doppo had no reason to lie about something like this.

That meant it had to be real. View Post

I have a high opinion of myself.

But my talent isn't all that extraordinary.

Kaizen looked at Lacus.

"It's about time to wrap this up."

The next moment, Kaizen raised his hand, and a powerful wave of aura surged toward Lacus.

Before Lacus could even close the distance, his body was sent flying backward.

Boom!

He crashed heavily onto the floor.

"Winner... Kaizen."

The referee announced the result.

"Is this the ability that rivals Netero's 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva?" Blasted by the fierce wind, Ronnel squinted as he gazed at the massive creatures looming in the sky.

"Such intense resentment~!"

His eyes flicked toward Jed, who stood beneath the center of Rakshasa, unleashing his ability.

During their brief clash, both had been sizing each other up. Ronnel had already gathered a lot of information about Jed's abilities.

His Gravekeeper's Grasp couldn't purge the...

"Furthermore, this incident has been determined to be caused by the Hunter Association. If there are any major casualties in Heavens Arena, we won't be able to escape responsibility."

Cheadle spoke in a heavy tone.

"If that's the case, has there been any movement from the V5?"

Ginta blinked his large eyes, his expression seemingly innocent.

"From what I saw in the fight just now, his actions and fighting habits don't match those of an Emitter.

As we all know, once an Emitter's Nen reaches its optimal conditions, it becomes nearly unstoppable.

Because of this, Emitters tend to develop combat styles that prioritize setting up those conditions for their abilities. There's a distinct difference between that and directly engaging in hand-to-hand combat to defeat an opponent.

Most people wouldn't notice the ...

The strong only befriend the strong—not the weak.

From this, we can roughly gauge Jed's strength.

Even if he isn't quite at the level Netero was in his youth, he isn't far behind.

What's more, Jed has now returned to his prime and mastered an entirely new system of power fueled by resentment.

Under these circumstances, Ronnel can't afford to be careless!

Having formed a rough estimate of Jed's abilities, Ronnel moved strategically, dodging while gradually closi...

After all the Nen users focused their aura to enhance their vision, they could see it clearly—blazing golden aura clashing with dense black and blue malice. The two immense forces intertwined, colliding with an earth-shattering impact!

Though Gon and Killua had already retreated to a corner of the tower, the shockwave from the collision still sent violent gusts toward them.

"Hohohoho, I suppose I'm getting old. My focus isn't what it used to be. Got caught up in old memories and let my guard down. What a careless mistake."

Netero's laugh was as cheerful as ever, as if being restrained didn't bother him in the slightest.

"Really? If you're feeling your age, old man, maybe you should sit this one out and watch~"

Ronnel cracked his knuckles, the crisp sound echoing through the space.

This was something Kaizen hadn't expected.

He had rarely encountered such a situation before, but after confirming the news, he realized it made perfect sense.

It was no longer just the audience—his fans—who acknowledged his strength. Even among the fighters on the 200th floor of Heavens Arena, he had earned significant recognition.

Kaizen couldn't help but reveal a strange expression.

But his name had already spread like wildfire across the three major venues of the Fiora Kingdom.

Ted smiled as he approached Roben.

A moment later, someone next to Roben whispered something to him.

Upon hearing it, Roben's expression turned serious.

Kaizen and Wendy got into the car. As he drove, Roben couldn't help but glance at Kaizen through the rearview mirror, Ted's words echoing in his mind:

"Roben, I almost beat Kaizen. You're the strongest among the three of us."
