I'm extremely interested in Nen abilities.

Buzz! Buzz buzz buzz!

The spire beside them seemed to resonate, swaying incessantly.

“It’s not because of me, but because there’s something in the fog,” Jin said from the side. “I suspect someone used a vow to gain immense power, and this ever-growing energy has brought calamity and awakened these things in the fog…”

Kurapika said nothing and immediately rushed toward the black mist where the giant figure had risen.

"Oh, does this kid have any friends there?"

Jin scratched his head, as if he had forgotten something.

"Oh, right, Kate!"

……

Kate is having a tough time.

It wasn't that the enemy was too powerful, but rather that there were too many of them. Suddenly, from the thickening fog, more and more ghostly figures formed from lingering resentment emerged, surging towards them like a tide.

"It doesn't matter to you, right?"

He materialized the "Crazy Clown," drew a sharp weapon, and slashed away at the ghostly figures one after another like mowing grass, glancing to the side out of the corner of his eye.

Originally intending to continue deeper into the island, the boy named Jingyang suddenly seemed to have a physical problem, clutching his chest with a serious expression, as if he could not move forward.

Before long, the fog began to rise and became thicker, resulting in the current situation.

"I'm fine!"

Jingyang sat on the ground, occasionally flicking his fingers to release a series of mental projectiles, eliminating the ghostly figures surging from the black mist.

Fortunately, these ghostly things are neither human nor living beings, and they will not release death energy after being destroyed, otherwise Jingyang probably would have fainted by now.

Pounding!

My heart pounded wildly as if in a spasm, and a strange sensation that felt both cold and hot almost made my heart explode.

The sounds around him became ethereal, and Jing Yang's temples bulged with veins, his blood vessels throbbing. He felt a special aura emanating from his body... This was a sign that the death energy had accumulated to its limit, and his body was about to change uncontrollably! In the past, when he fainted due to death energy, not only would his body grow larger when he woke up, but the plants and other things around him would also become more lush, probably because of this special aura emanating from his body, and they would be prematurely ripened.

He blinked hard and saw Kate calling his name.

From the black mist behind Kate, a man dressed similarly to the woman who had committed suicide emerged. He was all muscle, and his body was filled with an almost tangible aura, like the lines of an ink painting, sharp and powerful, visually striking and terrifying... Could this be Uncle Jie in his dark form?!

Why is Uncle Jay, now corrupted, looking for Kate? You've got the wrong person!

Jing Yang gritted his teeth and shook his head. If he could lose focus at a critical moment like this, it seemed he was not far from fainting.

Kate sensed the approaching danger behind her, drew her sword, and turned to slash.

This is real sword light!

The blade of Nen energy flew towards the blackened figure... Oh right, it's the person Xiao Shi mentioned. His companion committed suicide, sacrificing his Nen through the power of the oath to be used by him... After death, the Nen is even stronger, stacked with the power of the oath. Are you guys stacking buffs here?!

Jingyang rubbed his eyes and shook his head vigorously to stay awake.

Xiaodi said she heard this person mention something about the First Prince, the Second Prince, and the Uncontrollable People... It seems that Kakin and his gang really are haunting us...

clap clap!

Jingyang slapped his forehead.

Beside him, new, tender blades of grass sprouted one after another, pushing open the cracks and raising their heads.

Kate's battle with the corrupted, uncontrollable people appeared as overlapping images in Jingyang's eyes...

With so many double images, who the hell can tell who won and who lost?!

Oh, right, the reflection!

Jingyang remembered that before Kurapika was teleported here, he had told the remaining Illidan to peck at its skin every day to activate the star mark on its body.

In fact, the rock finch was used by Jingyang as a tool bird to house the 'reflection'. It already had a control command on its body, which made its aura slightly contracted so that the 'reflection' wouldn't be openly exposed at other times...

Black mist surged in, and within it, many ghostly figures formed from lingering remnants tumbled and crawled toward Jingyang.

call!

The black mist was cleaved open by several chainsaws, cutting the ghostly figures in half.

Little drop...

Emerging from the black mist, Xiao Di wielded a chainsaw, mowing down the ghostly figures like cutting grass. She knew something was wrong when she saw Jing Yang's condition. Although her expression remained unchanged, she was already rushing towards Jing Yang.

Jingyang pointed towards Kate's side.

Kate was still locked in a fierce battle with the corrupted, uncontrollable man... Jing Yang's vision was blurry, and he couldn't tell who was superior or inferior, but no matter which one of them was killed, it would undoubtedly be adding insult to injury for Jing Yang in his current situation...

Jingyang tried to hold on a little longer, but the scene in front of him became more and more chaotic, and his consciousness seemed to be intermittent, jumping between clarity and blurriness.

Kurapika also appeared. As expected, he knew what was going on and immediately transformed into Skeleton Knight, attempting to stop Kite's deadly battle with the corrupted Unsustainable People...

But it was too late...

Jingyang wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but above the black mist, behind the battling Kite, Kurapika, and the corrupted Unsustainable Citizen, a gigantic figure was approaching them… Holy crap, such an overwhelming sense of oppression… Jingyang's mind started to race. With the star mark on him, if he hid in the sea, would he suffocate? Wait, Kurapika doesn't have any stars anymore…

"What the hell is that?"

Kite and Kurapika separated, both looking at the approaching giant shadow. Before it, even the corrupted Unstable One seemed somewhat endearing. The black mist billowed open, and a gigantic hand, woven from wisps of black Nen, reached out, grabbed the corrupted Unstable One, and dragged it into the mist…

The sickening sound of chewing could be faintly heard through the fog.

Oh no, Jingyang!

Kurapika turned around sharply and saw that Jingyang, whom Shizuku was holding, was indeed in a bad state. Was he going to absorb too much death energy and his body was changing uncontrollably, just as Shizuku had said before?

"Something's not right with this boy!"

A foot emerged from the black mist behind Jingyang and Xiaodi. "Hey, girl, what's with the guardian spirit beast on this boy? Could he be...?"

Little Drop raised her hand and materialized a bulging-eyed fish, which looked warily at the newcomer.

Dizzy and confused, Jing Yang glanced at the newcomer, gave a knowing smile, and then closed his eyes and passed out completely.

Because of his coma, the 'reflection' that he had transferred from the rock sparrow also became somewhat uneasy. Since no one attacked Jingyang, its hostility seemed to start targeting everyone indiscriminately.

As Jin emerged from the black mist, the instant his foot touched the ground, an invisible force emanated outwards before returning to him.

"Vihugo = Grey Guo Meat, is that you?" Jin smiled, his eyes darting towards the black mist with eager anticipation.

The huge black shadow did not respond, and the chewing sound had stopped.

Kate breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Kim appear.

That's VioGrey? Kurapika was incredulous, but even more unbelievable was that he seemed to see something like that green tube on Kite's head... What was it? He thought he had one on his own head too! Even the blurry, enormous black shadow in the black mist seemed to have one on its head as well...

Xiao Di's head wasn't there, but Jing Yang... where is Jing Yang?!

Kurapika was taken aback.

Xiao Di sat blankly on the ground, Jing Yang, whom she had been holding, had disappeared without her noticing, as had the guardian spirit beast she had summoned.

"Hmm?" Kate looked at the black mist, the huge black shadow in the mist dissipated like a cloud, and even the surrounding mist gradually dissipated.

"Hey, don't run away!" Jin shouted anxiously at the dissipating shadows and mist. "Finally— um?" He suddenly turned his head and glared at the bewildered girl with dead fish eyes. "Where's the boy you were holding?"

"He's gone..." Little Drop whispered. Did he suddenly grow too old and simply age away?

She immediately guessed the worst-case scenario.

Jin raised his hand, erasing the "health bar" above his head like an eraser. He looked at the dwindling mist, then at Xiao Di's empty arms, and suddenly asked, "Is the boy you were holding earlier related to the Gray Flesh Royal Family of Kajin?"

Xiao Di raised her head and looked at the person seriously. He didn't look very old.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Jin, Jin = Freecss." Jin laughed. "I guess your friend was taken away by that guy in the fog earlier... That guy might be your friend's ancestor. I guess he won't do anything to him, right? So don't worry."

Just then, the island beneath their feet began to shake, as if it were an earthquake, and the shaking became increasingly violent.

“Teacher, look over there.” Kate pointed to the sea.

"I've told you so many times, just call me Jin." Jin looked in the direction they had come from.

Kurapika looked towards the Specialist Island, where the very thing he had mistaken for a spire was emitting an unprecedented roar. Before everyone's eyes, the entire Specialist Island crumbled, and the "spire" slowly rose. As it ascended, everyone saw it dragging a massive stone pillar hundreds of meters long from the deeper sea…

"It's neither a tower nor a mountain, but an arrow," Jin said with a smile as he watched the giant arrow slowly rise into the sky.

……

"Ready Player One: Control System"

As a child, Kim often imagined himself as an adventurer in a game. Unbeknownst to him, he discovered that his body was changing, and he could control himself...

……

Chapter 198 Even if the sea dries up and the rocks crumble

With five islands and the small island in the center, it doesn't look like the runway island that Jingyang initially thought it was, but more like a target placed on the sea.

Since discovering this place, Kim Freecss has come to check it out every year, trying to see if he can pull out the arrow from the center of the "target".

Kate had visited the island once after being brought out of the slums by Kim. At the time, she didn't quite understand her teacher's thought process, so she asked him why he was so eager to pull out the arrow. Why was he so sure that this was a giant arrow that had sunk straight to the bottom of the sea beneath the island? Why was her teacher so convinced that this giant arrow would one day leave the island?

Jin was completely baffled when he heard this.

"Are you an idiot?" He gestured to the cheap student as if drawing a bow and arrow, pointing it towards the sky. "An arrow, of course, has to be shot!"

To be honest, Kate still didn't quite understand after hearing Kim's explanation.

But I can understand some of it today.

He pressed his hat to his head, gazing up at the giant island arrow soaring into the sky. His master must have come here every year, so eager to witness this magnificent moment. Disappointment after disappointment, fruitless returns after fruitless attempts… as long as he could see it with his own eyes!

Is this the hunter's heart of gold?

Kate had only recently obtained his hunter's license, and he didn't consider himself a fully qualified hunter, so he wanted to learn from and imitate his teacher in everything.

Kurapika was unaware of the master and apprentice's affair. Gazing at the giant arrow soaring into the sky, all he could think of were the countless divine characters engraved on the massive stone arrow's shaft... After the destruction or disappearance of the central Special Aspect Island and the giant arrow, the black mist on the other five islands was rapidly dissipating... Was the Nen contained within them crumbling? Or was it that, in order to allow that giant arrow to ascend, all the Nen and Qi scattered across this archipelago were completely drained?

The True Martial King left this place, laid out complex divine characters, and created many Buddha statues and a treasure map pointing here... Everything he did was to make this giant arrow shoot out?

Xiao Di had no idea what these people were thinking. She only glanced at them when the giant arrow shook the earth and slowly rose into the air. What she cared about and was more worried about was Jing Yang.

Where has he gone?

Could it be... that it flew away with that arrow?
