Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Watch out behind you!

Boom!

Without the slightest hesitation, Dia slammed his right leg into the ground, the recoil propelling his heavy body to the side.

In mid-air, Dia forced herself to turn around and peer through the helmet's window, trying to find out what had happened.

'That's... the rope I broke before?'

What came into view was the very rope that Dia had encountered in the first reception room—the rope that had hanged [Shout]!

Diya's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

If I remember correctly, after he broke the rope, it should have split into two. So where is the remaining one?

Suddenly, Dia's eyes narrowed. In his vision, a black rope had unknowingly wrapped around his wrist and was hidden by the heavy diving suit.

But the gradually tightening sensation coming from her wrist reminded Diya that she had to deal with this thing quickly!

boom.

Dia landed with a soft thud, the wetsuit making his body feel quite heavy.

As soon as he landed, Dia saw another rope coming toward him from mid-air.

His mind raced, and he suddenly said to Qiduo in the distance:

"Teacher, turn off the lights!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Duo, though puzzled, decisively deactivated the [Shadowless Lamp].

The daylight vanished instantly, and boundless darkness descended once more, completely robbing everyone of their sight.

At the same time, Dia's [Circle] suddenly unfolded, encompassing the rope within it.

'Time, stop!'

[World] A muscular figure suddenly appeared, abruptly halting the flow of time!

'The first second...'

During the time stop, Dia actually removed her diving suit!

As the heavy wetsuit dissipated, the rope that had been tightly binding her wrists suddenly opened up, allowing Dia to pull her wrists out.

Dia narrowed her eyes, and instead of immediately pulling her wrist out, she reached forward through the rope and grabbed another rope, and pulled back sharply before the time stop ended!

At that moment, the rope, as if threading a needle, passed straight through another lasso.

Time stop ended!

The lasso, which had been tightening, suddenly snapped shut, binding another rope tightly. The bound rope, as if possessed, abruptly turned and tightened its grip on the lasso.

Through the circle, Dia saw the black noose twisted and intertwined like two snakes, and nodded in satisfaction.

Based on past experience, this strange lasso, once broken, will automatically split into two, which essentially rules out the possibility of destroying it.

So Dia came up with the idea of ​​trapping them together by having them restrain each other.

It now appears that this plan is feasible.

"Then it's your turn, you over there pretending to be a corpse."

Dia suddenly turned her head and spoke casually towards where Mori was.

Chapter 222 Two Qiduo × Unknown

Upon hearing this, Mori did not panic.

Although I could sense that the other person was indeed speaking in my direction, it didn't mean that I had been exposed.

His ability is not simply about shapeshifting; it is absolutely impossible to tell him apart from other mummies just by looking at him!

'He's bluffing me, but this situation is also very dangerous...'

Mori knew perfectly well that even if the other party was bluffing him, if the situation dragged on, it would lead to his demise.

'No need for probing, let's do it now!'

Mori quietly gripped the treasure hidden in his hand and began to extract Nen from it without regard for the loss.

Originally, we considered that there might be other enemies later, so we wanted to keep some as a backup plan. But now it seems that it was a bit too early to think about the future.

What he didn't notice was...

A dark figure had silently followed him from behind, watching his every move and keeping pace with him.

In silence and darkness.

Seeing that the enemy had not revealed any weakness, Dia frowned.

He hadn't actually found any weakness in the enemy's defenses; he had simply shouted towards the direction where the rope had appeared on his wrist as a test.

The enemy was clearly quite composed.

There are two possibilities: First, the other party is very calm and experienced and won't be fooled; second, the enemy isn't actually on the second floor, but is remotely controlling the lassos and corpses through a special mechanism.

In fact, this was also what puzzled Dia.

The power of incantation doesn't appear out of nowhere. Even incantation for a living person is extremely complex. Now some people say they can incantation for a corpse in just a few minutes!?

He would never have believed it if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, because it required an enormous amount of spiritual energy.

There are already nearly 100 corpses on the second floor alone. In addition, controlling the lasso also requires a lot of Nen. How did the enemy manage to do that?

If he already has the ability, why doesn't he just charge in and start fighting? He might have had a better chance then.

'Forget it, let's just kill them all. Even a clumsy method is still a method!'

Dia shook her head, unable to think of a reasonable explanation, and summoned her diving suit again, ready to rush out and wreak havoc.

The original plan remains the same: kill anyone on sight, whether alive or dead, better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.

Suddenly he felt someone intrude into his "circle".

Dia's senses began to probe behind her.

In the darkness, a figure resembling Qiduo was walking step by step toward him from behind.

Are you worried?

Diya frowned. It must be because she had just asked Qiduo to turn off the shadowless lamp, causing her to lose her vision and making her anxious.

Perhaps fearing that the circles would interfere with each other, Kido didn't even release her own circle, for fear of disturbing Dia.

"Teacher, you don't need to come over. Just stay here and protect yourself."

Diya casually gave the figure a word of advice before preparing to continue cleaning up the annoying mummies.

If I had known, I would have just set them on fire when I came in and sent them all to the afterlife; it wouldn't have been so troublesome.

"Dia, who are you talking to?"

Suddenly, a sound from Qiduo that sounded just like some kind of reindeer came from Dia's right front, filled with doubt.

'What!''

The moment the words left his mouth, it was as if a thunderbolt struck Dia's mind, causing him to freeze in shock.

As a die-hard Pokémon fan, he would never mistake Kido's voice.

But if she's speaking in front of me, then who's the one behind me?

Dia hurriedly turned her head to look, and at the same time a ray of sunlight fell.

It was Qiduo, who had been speaking in the distance, who noticed something was wrong and activated the [Shadowless Lamp] to provide a light source.

Swish!

The moment Dia turned his head, a dark shadow flashed by, and then a brilliant silver light bloomed before his eyes like a flower!

The rain curtain was easily torn open, and the silver light shone directly into Diya's eyes.

'So fast! '

Dia felt everything slow down instantly, allowing him to see the true form of the silver light—a very familiar scalpel!

It was Qiduo's scalpel, but this cut was faster and more ruthless than any cut Dia had ever seen when they sparred.

This single strike even forced him to unleash his long-dormant "bullet time" ability!

Without time to think, Dia, taking advantage of the bullet time, did not hesitate to make a knife with her fingers together.

A golden ripple flashed, and his hand slashed straight down at the hand holding the scalpel, its sharpness visible to the naked eye.

If that chop had landed squarely, it should have severed that hand!

Seemingly sensing danger, the shadowy figure wielding the scalpel abruptly stopped its deadly attack mid-air, turning the blade to slash at Dia's neck.

Why did you stop? Shouldn't my damage have been greater than hers from that one cut?

This seemingly nonchalant display of fighting spirit suddenly made Dia realize that even if the dark figure before her wasn't Qiduo herself, it must have some connection to her.

Snapped!

Changing tactics midway through was undoubtedly a bad move; this time, Dia wasn't even forced to use [Bullet Time].

If only he had instinctively slapped the blade aimed at Dia's neck, he would have completely knocked it away!

boom!

With a powerful kick that stirred up a downpour, Dia kicked the dark figure in the abdomen without hesitation, creating a loud thud and forcing her back!

"Cough, cough, cough..."

The dark figure knelt and coughed. Only under the sunlight was Dia able to see the true face of the dark figure.

A short figure stood up, coughing with his head down. Strands of conspicuous white hair hung down from the figure's head, obscuring his face.

"Dia! How are you? What happened just now?"

Qiduo's voice came from behind again, making Dia instinctively alert. She then said:

“I’m fine, but…”
