181 HxH: The Strongest Assassin

"Father, what kind of place is Heavens Arena?"

"Will you come with me?"

"How long am I going to be there?"

"Has my brother ever been there?"

Killua rarely asked so many questions at once. It wasn't like him, nor did it align with the way Zoldyck children were trained.

But today was different.

Silva glanced at Killua briefly, his expression unreadable.

"Heavens Arena is a sacred battleground for fighters," Silva said, his voice steady. "Warriors from a...

Kaizen, a player on the 200th floor of Heavens Arena, had already made a name for himself.

"It's been four matches," someone murmured.

"The first three were victories, but the fourth… he forfeited."

A bystander shook his head, watching a replay on the monitor. "But it wasn't because he doubted his ability to win. He must've had something more important to do."

The decision to forfeit wasn't a sign of weakness. It demonstrated confidence in his own strength. Only some...

"Is this a clone?" Ging stared at the duplicate standing next to Ronnel, visibly surprised.

"I thought your abilities were limited to dispelling grudges and using Pocket of the Dead to store items belonging to the deceased. How could there be—"

He abruptly stopped himself. Asking about another person's Nen abilities was an unspoken taboo, even for someone as unconventional as Ging. Despite his casual demeanor, Ging's sharp intellect reminded him that such questions were con...

The first thing Ronnel and Ging noticed upon stepping into the canyon was a colossal beast skeleton. Its twin horns curved menacingly, casting long shadows on the rocky path just a few meters from where they stood.

Ronnel instinctively raised his hand to dispel the lingering aura of malice but paused, his eyes narrowing. Something felt off.

"Do you sense it?" Ging's tone was unusually serious, his posture rigid.

"Yeah," Ronnel muttered, his gaze unwavering. He steadied his b...

The corpses offered little of value to Ronnel beyond some relevant documents and materials—not a trace of aura worth noting.

As they pressed onward through the thick fog, it was hard to tell how much time had passed before an unexpected sight emerged ahead. A faint light pierced through the dense gray, standing out starkly against the oppressive gloom.

"Is that an exit?"

The same thought crossed both Ronnel's and Ging's minds. Yet, their expressions remained cautious. The ...

The group that ventured here must have been a team, well-prepared for their journey. It's understandable that they were able to push deep into the area.

What's more, someone among them had the Sonata of Darkness, which means they wielded great strength and influence.

Yet, even with such preparation, they failed to conquer the Grand Canyon. And failure here means only one thing—death.

Ging turned to Ronnel and patted him on the shoulder, his golden palm radiating warmth. 2024-12-13 06:02:00 +0000 UTC View Post

A small town.

Rumors of monsters still swirled among the townsfolk, though fear had diminished over time.

The yard lay in ruins. After the fire, everything flammable had burned to ash. Subsequent heavy rains had washed away the remaining traces, leaving the place desolate.

In the yard, a middle-aged woman sat, her expression hollow. Nearby, a young girl chased butterflies, her carefree demeanor starkly contrasting the somber atmosphere.

The rumors of m...

Illumi's fixation on Killua wasn't entirely out of brotherly love—it was much deeper and far more calculated.

Illumi wasn't simply a protective older brother. His obsession with Killua stemmed more from Killua's position as the Zoldyck heir rather than any sibling bond.

Illumi coveted the prestige of being the Zoldyck successor but had never been chosen. His ambitions were instead projected onto Killua. He wanted Killua to be the ideal heir, someone who could elevate the family'...

"Then I'll leave it to you. In a few days, Silva will take Killua with him on a mission."

"Grandpa Zeno is being polite."

Kaizen returned to his quarters and started packing.

When it came to aura techniques, Maha had already taught Kaizen most of the fundamentals. The training wasn't limited to Zoldyck Manor and could be practiced anywhere.

Maha had retreated into a semi-secluded state, so heading to Heavens Arena wouldn't disrupt his training. Besides, Kaizen could al...

176 HxH: The Strongest Assassin

Ten days had passed.

Kaizen had just begun to master the fundamentals of In and was already well-versed in Ken. With his foundation in Ren secure, he decided to focus his energy on En.

In the courtyard, Maha was absent. Gotoh stood guard at the door, keeping a watchful eye on the area.

Kaizen sat cross-legged on the ground, eyes closed, as he concentrated.

"Focus..." he muttered.

"Ren."

A surge ...

As one of the Twelve Zodiacs, Pariston's disheveled appearance was well known. If he truly cared about his image, he wouldn't have met Ronnel wearing such a rumpled suit.

Ging, on the other hand, had a peculiar way of deciding the distribution of the spoils during their journey. If Ronnel showed no interest in an item, Ging would keep it without hesitation. But if Ronnel wanted something, Ging would step aside, even if he coveted it too. After all, without Ronnel, Ging wouldn't have bee...

Chrollo stood silently, patiently awaiting results.

The dense forest was still, save for the faint crackle of flames.

"Alright~"

After a brief pause, Kalluto opened his eyes and turned eastward.

"The person you're looking for is approximately XXXX kilometers to the east," he stated. "However, I'll need to reach the destination to identify who they are specifically."

Chrollo's lips curved into a faint smile.

"Knowing the exact distance is more than enough," ...

Beauty is an inherent trait of all women, and Machi is no exception. However, her sharp wit and knack for recognizing value extend far beyond mere aesthetics. Her affinity for wealth ensures she won't miss the opportunity to acquire cards promising immense riches.

"I don't think this should happen. Once the card's effect is activated, it doesn't just vanish," she said, her tone pragmatic.

Shalnark nodded. "Exactly. After the effect is triggered, it's permanent."

Machi seemed...

"If he really dares to come, I'll show him that there are things in this world far worse than death," Feitan muttered, his voice low and cold.

"Alright then~" Shalnark shrugged with a lighthearted smile. "Just be careful, okay?"

Shalnark knew Feitan and Phinks well enough to understand that once they'd made up their minds, there was little point in trying to dissuade them. The two had been stewing in frustration ever since the incidents with the mysterious man and the chain-user. ...

175 HxH: The Strongest Assassin

En is a pivotal skill in Nen combat, with mastery divided into two key aspects:

Range and Acuity

Balancing both is nearly impossible. Those who manage it are top-tier powerhouses.

Take Nobunaga of the Phantom Troupe, for example. His En—a circle with a four-meter diameter—is precision-focused. According to Nobunaga, anything entering his circle will be cut down immediately, regardless of its nature.

O...

"Yes, great-grandfather," Kaizen said respectfully.

Maha nodded. "That's enough for today. Return to your quarters and come back tomorrow morning."

"Understood."

Kaizen opened his bag and retrieved a few small, intricately crafted items.

"Great-grandfather, these are gifts I brought for you," he said, setting them on the table before turning to leave the yard.

Maha glanced at the trinkets, his usually stern expression softening into a faint smile.

His decis...

Raiken lunged forward, his movements sharp and explosive as he closed the gap between himself and Maha Zoldyck in an instant.

As Raiken moved, the muscles across his back shifted, forming the grotesque visage of a demon's face. His entire aura surged with an intimidating intensity.

"Demon Back!"

Clenching his fist, Raiken aimed a ferocious punch directly at Maha, the air around his fist twisting as he shouted:

"Tracera Strike!"

"In the history of humanity, the first recorded Nen practitioners emerged in the Taris Kingdom."

Kaizen's sharp gaze lingered on the scroll in his hands.

"This information could fetch a good price if sold to the royal family of Fiora," he mused.

Kaizen had never encountered Fiora in the Hunter x Hunter canon, yet after entering this world, the name had surfaced countless times.

The human world's political hierarchy was dominated by the V5. Despite its dec...

"I remember the leader's prophecy poem mentioning something like this: 'When you set off, head east, and you'll find someone waiting for you.'"

In a quiet corner, Shalnark stood in a circle with several members of the Phantom Troupe, holding up a map.

This wasn't just any map—it was a highly detailed world map that Shalnark had acquired at great expense from the Hunter website, far superior to the publicly available versions.

"Just like Killua managed to bring in ...

252 HxH: Tombbound Power

Gon and Killua's talents are undeniable—a product of their lineage, hard work, and sheer charisma.

It's no wonder that these same traits are reflected in Ging Freecss, one of the five strongest individuals in the world. His adventurous spirit, raw talent, and infuriating yet brilliant character make him truly unforgettable.

"What's the matter? Is something wrong with me?"

After dealing with the trouble, Ging returned to find Ronnel studying him with an almost suspicious ga...

251 HxH: Tombbound Power

"A strong aura of resentment... It seems like it's been festering for years," Ronnel muttered, his sharp eyes analyzing the swirling black mist floating toward him. He waved his hand dismissively, and the oppressive energy dispersed instantly.

"That's just the appetizer," he said, smirking. "Resentment and death are plentiful around here."

Ging, standing nearby, gave a knowing nod but felt a small pang of doubt deep down. Still, he chose to trust Ronnel's abilities.

"I've sc...

250 HxH: Tombbound Power

"Yeah, that's right," Ging said seriously. "But it's better to owe you a favor than owe that friend of mine."

"Why's that?"

"Because you're like me—you don't care much for anything outside of the adventurous spirit in a man's bones. If someone kept whispering Sonata of Darkness in your ear all day, you'd lose your mind."

At that, Ging squinted, his expression flat but laced with annoyance.

"Artists, man. Most of them are certifiable. My friend? Probably one of the fe...

"The Floor Master of Heavens Arena is quite unique," Zeno remarked, his tone contemplative.

"He's a little older than me. When I first visited Heavens Arena, that man had already achieved the status of Floor Master. Over the years, his strength has only grown."

He paused briefly before adding, "In terms of overall capability, he's at the threshold of an S-rank Nen user."

Kaizen couldn't help but ask, "How does he compare to you, Grandpa Zeno?"

Zeno fell silent for a mo...

Kaizen began recounting his experiences in detail, speaking slowly and thoughtfully.

"After leaving the Zoldyck Manor, I went to Heavens Arena. It didn't take long for me to reach the 200th floor. Along the way, I encountered several assassins, but none of them posed a significant challenge.

"Eliminating them was simple.

"Afterward, I took on an assassination mission where I dealt with five death-row prisoners. That's when Zeno found out about me.

"Then came my fight a...

After disembarking from the airship and enduring a two-hour drive, Kaizen finally reached Kukuroo Mountain, a quaint town at the mountain's base.

A bus waited at the stop, and a young, cheerful female tour guide waved enthusiastically.

"Heading to the Zoldyck Manor? Hop on now!"

Kaizen hesitated for a moment before boarding.

Once the bus was full, its engine roared to life, and the vehicle began its slow, bumpy ascent up the winding mountain road. Kaizen leaned back in...

"No!"

The young man let out a desperate cry.

Outside, the crowd finally began to understand what was happening.

"So that's it!"

"This family… they're monsters!"

"Jiuna must have been killed by him!"

"Disgusting! What's that thing attached to his head?"

The middle-aged woman glared at the young man, who now looked towards Kaizen with growing regret. If only he hadn't provoked Kaizen earlier, none of this would have happened.

He could have conti...

"What's wrong?" Ronnel asked, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Did you forget something?" he added, a touch of exasperation in his voice.

"Ah, right," Ging replied, scratching the back of his head sheepishly. "I guess I forgot to mention our destination, didn't I?"

Ronnel sighed. "You think? At least tell me where we're heading."

"Our goal this time is the Braga Canyon," Ging said. "According to legend, there's a passage to another world hidden in that canyon. It's a pla...

"I don't have the habit of making others wait for me."

The jellyfish-like anomaly had vanished within two days of its discovery, leaving no trace across the Six Continents.

As for the dazzlingly beautiful gourd-shaped stone, it initially appeared harmless when discovered. After cautious testing revealed no immediate danger, the discoverer deemed it a treasure and sold it to a wealthy collector at a hefty price.

However, one day while admiring his collection, the ric...

The world isn't a simple dichotomy of black and white, good and lawful versus evil and chaotic.

Shizuku had seen too much to hold onto the innocence she had as a newcomer to society. Her guiding principle was simple: as long as she stayed true to her bottom line and could respect herself, everything else was secondary.

Back on Greedy Island, didn't Bisky capture that morally dubious Scissors user to train Gon and Killua, only to release him afterward? She had no qualms about Ronne...
