Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Sach moved with lightning speed, deftly dodging Naspi's heavy punch, decisively bending down to press his sword, and letting out a low growl:

"Sherlock, erase his intelligence! I'll chop him in half with all my might!"

"Wait, don't kill him!"

Sherlock narrowly avoided Nasby's shoulder charge, and upon hearing Saqiu's voice, quickly tried to dissuade him:

"The leaders of all great powers have a posthumous revenge mechanism. If you kill him, we're all finished!"

"Kill me?"

Nasby, listening from the side, was so angry he laughed inwardly:

"Your name is Sherlock, right? And you two, Sachu from the Hunter Association, have really opened my eyes to something new."

"You dare to rob and plunder from me, and you still dare to threaten to kill me!"

Nasby focused his energy in his dantian, and an unprecedentedly powerful surge of spiritual energy erupted from his entire body, creating a tremendous and earth-shattering force!

Without a doubt, his next strike will be extremely terrifying!

"go back!"

A glint flashed in Sherlock's eyes, and seizing the opportunity, a strange, misty light burst forth from them!

boom!

Naspi's overwhelming momentum dissipated inch by inch, and he knelt on the ground with a thud, his eyes showing a blank expression.

The next moment, the black spirit beast that had been following Naspi seemed to sense something and decisively stood in front of Naspi, ready for battle.

Sherlock and Satchel exchanged a glance, both letting out a slight sigh of relief.

If there's only one Nen Beast, it'll be much easier to deal with. Take it out, then disable Naspi's attack ability and let him fend for himself!

However, this Nen beast's abilities were unexpectedly troublesome.

Sherlock and Satchel discovered that their swords and fists would almost always slip away the moment they landed on each other, failing to truly injure the other!

"The mucus on its body is strange; it can smudge physical attacks!"

Saqiu's insight was extremely sharp; he immediately recognized the Nen Beast's ability:

"To kill it, we need to rely on continuous non-physical attacks such as explosions or high temperatures!"

"Not necessarily, look, that layer of mucus is getting thinner!"

Sherlock added:

"There is no such thing as absolute defense in the world. Our attack should be able to cut through that layer of slime. Keep fighting!"

The two quickened their pace, unleashing a barrage of attacks that rained down on the black spirit beast, causing it to howl in pain as if it were not merely a spirit beast, but some kind of sentient being.

Even so, it did not back down an inch, remaining as solid as an impregnable wall, guarding the king and preventing any attack from landing on Naspi.

……

All the unexpected events just now were crammed into this narrow space and brief moment.

After observing everything, Melena briefly considered her options and decided what she needed to do.

"The egg in the pot! We must find it!"

Just as Melena turned her head seriously to look at Kuroro, she suddenly heard the sound of turning pages!

Splash...

"【Flip the Treasure Bag】, deactivated!"

Kuroro's eyes gleamed, showing no sign of being overwhelmed by the series of unexpected events. Instead, he calmly turned the page to a certain one!

On that page, a strangely shaped bookmark lay quietly.

In an instant, a blinding white light flashed from Kuroro's sleeve, and then several figures dressed in black suits jumped out!

The figures landed stiffly on the ground, raised their heads, and their facial features were distorted and they didn't look like normal people.

That's right, ever since he entered the secret realm, Kuroro has been using the [Bookmark Chapter] to activate his ability called [Flip the Treasure Bag]!

This is why Kuroro only used the "Instant Transmission" ability from beginning to end, and never used two abilities at the same time.

It's not just because this ability is powerful, but more so because his [Bookmark Chapter] is being used to maintain another ability.

Melena stared in surprise at the figure that appeared beside Kuroro:

'These are... the clay golems who entered the secret realm with him?'

Only then did she realize what was happening.

No wonder, although I saw Kuroro leading several puppets into the secret realm, once inside, I only saw Kuroro and his companions.

She was also puzzled for a moment at the time.

But she just thought that the puppets might have died by accident at the hands of the royal army that followed them in, so she didn't ask any further questions.

It now seems that Kuroro must have hidden it through some means!

but……

A hint of surprise flashed in Melina's eyes:

'This man, while mentioning during the information exchange that he could use multiple completely different Nen abilities, never mentioned being able to use several simultaneously.'

'Whether it's [Instant Teleportation] or the [Flip-the-Pouch] he mentioned earlier, both involve turning pages. Combined with the [bookmarks] within the pages, it's highly likely that the limitation of the opponent's ability is that activating a certain ability requires turning to the corresponding page. The [bookmarks] are probably some kind of derivative of the book; presumably, placing a bookmark on a page is equivalent to turning that page…'

But even so,

No matter how hard Morlena tried, she couldn't count the number of abilities Kuroro had activated at that moment.

According to her plan

When a bookmark and an open page are on the same page, theoretically the other party should only be able to activate one ability.

But these clay golems clearly also come from some ability, and it's definitely not the one called [Treasure Bag of Reversal]—

How is this ability activated?

Melina's doubts could not be answered.

Kuroro ignored the changes happening around him and focused intently, turning the page to a certain page as quickly as possible.

The ability on this page is called [Transfer Student]!

Snapped!

Kuroro placed the bookmark on this page, then neatly closed the book and put it in his pocket.

The next moment, he moved his feet and became a blur, quickly dodging and weaving among the clay puppets around him, occasionally striking the faces of the clay figures with lightning speed!

After he touched all the clay golems, their appearance had completely transformed into Kuroro's own!

Melena stared in disbelief at the dozen or so Kuroro standing neatly in front of her!

"How... how did you do that?"

Snapped!

Kuroro wasn't finished yet; he snapped his fingers.

Suddenly, dozens of clay figures pulled out books from their pockets.

That book was exactly the same as Kuroro's "The Ultimate Thief"!

'Now the disguise is truly perfect...'

Kuroro nodded in satisfaction.

By combining [Clay Figure], [Pair of Destroyers], and [Transfer Student], you can achieve the effect of creating clones.

Although these clay puppets are weak in combat, they are more than enough to confuse people for a short time!

"Miss Morina, when you mentioned going to find the [Egg in the Pot], you must mean you're going to find it too, right?"

Kuroro calmly turned to look at Melena and asked.

His meaning was clear: he wanted to know if Melina could fight, and whether she wanted to go downstairs with him to find the artifact.

After all, Kuroro had never seen Melena fight on her own, so it's normal for him to have some doubts about her actual fighting strength.

"...Of course, although I am not good at fighting, I have level 100 Nen, so I shouldn't be a hindrance in a simple grappling match."

Melina paused for a moment, then forced a smile and said.

At the same time, a thought struck her:

'This person's obsession with the [divine artifact] is far stronger than I imagined!'

Even though his companion had just died, kicked to death like a wild dog, and another companion had been cleaved in two with a single blow, his fate unknown, Kuroro showed no sign of wavering!

This person is ruthless to the extreme.

Morina glanced at the Dog Warrior's corpse lying in the corner and silently clenched her fist.

She too had experienced hell, but she also had some affection and care for her like-minded companions.

Dogman was her first partner and also the first infected person. He loyally did countless hard and tiring things for her, but now he died under mysterious circumstances.

Morina could see clearly that Dog Warrior had been swept into the water and then became strangely stiff and unable to move, which was why his neck was easily snapped.

That might be related to the greenish-blue electric current in the water.

'That person in the submarine suit... I can't see their face, but I can tell from their voice that it's Dia...'

Melina gritted her teeth.

She did so much for Dia, yet he killed Dog Warrior without hesitation!

This grudge must be avenged!

Melena subconsciously overlooked the fact that she had previously planned to kill Dia.

After all, from her perspective, Dia should have been completely unaware of her schemes.

However, due to Ruby's unilateral tip-off, all of Melena's actions were actually within Dia's expectations.

'Kuroro should also be informed about Dia's appearance; he seemed to have reacted to the name before.'

As Melena watched Kuroro's retreating figure walk towards the spiral staircase, she quickly said:
