Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Even the Zoldyck assassin couldn't possibly dodge every psychic bullet he fired right in front of him like this.

Franklin noticed.

With each landing, it was as if a mysterious force arose from beneath Dia's feet, forcibly changing his direction and allowing him to dodge the dense barrage of psychic bullets.

That mysterious power allowed him to move at a speed far exceeding his running speed, enabling him to achieve the incredible scene before him.

But that alone wouldn't have worried Franklin too much.

He has specialized training in shooting techniques that allow him to predict the enemy's movement trajectory. Given enough time, he is confident that he can make the opponent have no way to avoid him in this small space!

But how long will this process take?

Franklin deduced that the opponent possessed the ability to kill with a single blow and was possibly waiting for Kuroro to arrive so that they could wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

This result was something Franklin could not accept under any circumstances.

'No, my attacks can only suppress him, they don't do any damage. It's best to retreat and plan our next move...'

Franklin shifted his feet slightly, calculating in his mind how long it would take to jump back into the well.

and also.

While he was retreating, he also had to stop Kuroro from rushing up!

'From the moment the commander reacts to when he gets close to the well, it takes a maximum of five seconds. He's probably already around the corner. If he can't jump back into the well within three seconds, the commander will appear at the well's edge, and the enemy might use that ability that instantly killed Nobunaga…'

Thoughts raced through Franklin's mind like lightning.

A serious expression flashed across his broad face, and his eyes flickered as he began to search for a way out.

That opportunity could temporarily distract Dia and make him jump back into the well!

In less than a second.

Franklin had made all the plans.

Despite his intimidating appearance, he is actually one of the most meticulous people in the group.

'Focus, stay calm... there must be a way...'

Franklin was completely absorbed in what he was seeing, stimulating his senses to the extreme, trying to slow down the world around him.

Countless projectiles flew and bombarded the area, sending sand and gravel flying.

Diya's figure remained as elusive as a ghost, her afterimages flashing as she moved swiftly and nimbly between the twisting of her fingers.

He kept turning to the side, bending over, leaning back, and leaping up. With just his toes lightly touching the ground, an unknown golden light propelled him forward, allowing him to dodge the psychic bullets that were about to hit him.

However, this graceful movement allowed Franklin to find a flaw!

That's it!

Franklin subtly stared at the inconspicuous long object behind Dia, from which a few strands of long golden hair peeked out.

He noticed that every time Dia dodged the projectiles, she would intentionally or unintentionally make the things behind her avoid them as well.

It's like not wanting the projectiles to hurt it...

In a fleeting moment, Franklin recognized the thing:

'That's a person!'

'Someone he's protecting!'

At that moment, Franklin knew what he had to do.

'You only have one chance...'

A cold glint flashed in Franklin's eyes, and the fingers of his right hand moved silently a tiny bit.

next moment,

He fired a special psychic bullet silently, aiming it directly at Dia's back!

The moment the bullet was fired, it merged with the air and vanished without a trace.

This is one of the advanced application techniques of Nen ability—[Concealment]!

This was a technique that Franklin consistently used in actual combat.

'Ordinary people can discern patterns in the large number of psychic projectiles I fire, subconsciously assuming they are tangible. However, by mixing in invisible psychic projectiles, the effect becomes entirely different…'

Franklin sensed the telekinetic bullet flying through the air and arriving near Dia without incident.

next moment.

boom!

A stream of blood mixed with white liquid suddenly splattered out, passing right in front of Dia!

'Huh?'

Diya was taken aback, but continued to move around, glancing behind her out of the corner of her eye.

The second prince, Camilla, remained silent, and a bloody hole the size of a goose egg appeared on his head!

"..."

Dia stopped in her tracks and turned back to look at Franklin in shock.

Wait, buddy, why the rush?

They can't even wait for my cooldown to end?

At the same time, Franklin decisively stopped and jumped backward!

Franklin felt a sudden sense of relief when he caught a glimpse of Dia's stunned expression out of the corner of his eye!

He felt fortunate:

"Good...just as I expected!"

'Their attention was completely drawn to that person's death!'

'Now'

Franklin's massive body plunged violently into the well, stirring up a fierce gust of wind.

Suddenly, a huge cat-shaped shadow solidified behind him, its cold and merciless eyes fixed on the giant falling before it!

at the same time.

Below the well, Kuroro had already rushed over. He looked up abruptly, staring in astonishment at Franklin and the giant shadow, and blurted out:

"Franklin! Behind you..."

Franklin misunderstood, thinking he was referring to Dia, and immediately roared:

"Run!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a pair of enormous black claws came whistling through the air, instantly enveloping Franklin completely!

Kuroro's pupils shrank as he looked at the owner of the giant claw—a huge black cat!

puff.

After a soft sound.

The black cat spread its hands out contentedly, but Franklin had vanished without a trace from its palms!

At the same time, a huge blue bulge gradually appeared on its tail.

The bulge glows with a soft blue light and emits an enticing fragrance, seemingly containing the most wonderful scent in the world, making one feel invigorated with just one whiff.

"Meow~"

The black cat's huge golden eyes shone brightly. It glanced at the stunned Kuroro, then suddenly used all four limbs to climb up to the edge of the well and disappeared into the well mouth in the blink of an eye.

'What is that...?'

Kuroro was still thinking about the giant black cat, muttering to himself.

He had never seen such a powerful spirit beast; it killed Franklin in a single encounter.

At this moment, even the anger and sorrow aroused by the death of his companion were suppressed by Kuroro, and instead a strong sense of fear was replaced by it!

He rushed here without stopping from the moment he heard the commotion of Franklin's attack, probably in less than five seconds.

Just five seconds later, Franklin was killed right before his eyes!

It should be noted that Franklin's strength, even if not the best in the entire Brigade, is certainly worthy of being in the top three.

Even his last words before he died were to tell him to run...

'Franklin never jumps to conclusions he's not sure of. What did he go through to let me run away without even thinking...?'

Kuroro's mind raced, and his face turned extremely pale:

'And Nobunaga, where is Nobunaga?'

Thoughts raced through his mind like lightning, and Kuroro suddenly realized that he was standing at a crossroads!

On the left, it's about leaving immediately, regardless of the consequences.

This is the safest route, but it also means abandoning Nobunaga, whose fate is unknown, and swallowing all the humiliation.

On the right, the opposite of the left, it rushes up to the ground to explore!

This path is undoubtedly the riskiest, but it also promises the greatest rewards.

So, which path should we choose?

While Kuroro hesitated, things outside the well were bustling with activity.

Dia threw the second prince's body to the ground.

Swish!

A dark figure darted to the corpse.

It's the [Million Reincarnation Cat] who stole Franklin's head!

"Meow~"

The huge black cat didn't even glance at Dia, focusing intently on stretching its tail to Camilla's mouth.

As the Million Reincarnation Cat moved, a drop of clear liquid seeped from its tail and dripped into Camilla's mouth.
