Hunter x Hunter: The Strongest Zoldyck

"Is it really it?"

Red-haired Eileen turned her gaze back to the strange figure lying sprawled on the metal plate.

She saw many strange and peculiar things deep inside the Seven Seas Alliance's warehouse.

But what's in front of me...

This thing, rotting on the iron plate, looks like a puddle of white mud.

It still made her stomach clench.

The thing on the iron plate was curled up and twisted, like a snake with its spine broken.

A thick, turbid, grayish-white viscous fluid covered his entire body, constantly being squeezed out of his skin and seeping back in under the dim light of the cabin.

This thing lay there, looking like a person but not quite, with arms that were too long and legs that were too short, and its spine protruding from its back in segments, like the bony bones of a fish.

"It's this one."

The blond man, Zet, stepped forward and crouched down. After carefully examining the headless corpse in front of him, he answered affirmatively:

"Look at its upper half, jagged and bony, sticky and oily..."

"Look at its head again..."

The blond man, Zet, took two more steps forward, reaching a corner of the cabin, and gently kicked something at his feet.

"The eyes protrude and turn white, like those of a deep-sea fish, and there are cross-shaped symbols deep within the pupils."

"These are typical eye features of the Deep One, Jumongard."

The blond man, Zet, crouched down, flipped Deep One Yumongard's head over, and pointed to the protruding bone spur at the back of Yumongard's head, saying:

"And look, isn't there a bone protruding from the back of his head?"

"This is an inherent characteristic of their kind, a rebellious bone... a special kind of bone."

"It is also an important distinguishing feature that allows us to differentiate who among the crowd is the Deep One, Jumongaard."

"Rebellion?"

The red-haired woman, Eileen, retorted.

*Pfft!*

The rebellious bone at the back of Yumengaard's head was violently ripped off by the blond man, Zet.

"That's right, rebellious."

Holding up the pale, slender bone knot, the blond man looked it up and down.

"It is said that the rebellious bone of Yumengad is a top-quality natural material for creating Nen, which can amplify and concentrate Nen, producing incredible effects."

"...Pirate King: Sebastian Redmond possesses a scepter made from the rebellious bones of the fully-formed Jumongarde."

"The Pirate King? Isn't that just a legend?"

Red-haired Eileen approached blond-haired Zet and carefully examined the bone knot in his hand.

"legend?"

Zett's tone rose, revealing a hint of mockery:

Do you know how the Seven Seas Alliance came about?

"They did not exist naturally; they evolved from the seven generals under the Pirate King."

"It only became independent after the pirate king Sebastian Redmond disappeared from the Dark Continent."

"Hmm... How do you know so much?"

The red-haired woman, Eileen, looked at Zett with a strange expression as she listened to his boastful talk.

Zet's expression darkened, and an indescribable look appeared on his face. He tightened his grip on Yumongard's rebellious knuckles slightly, then slowly loosened it.

"That's not important. Let's take the news of Yumongard's death back with us."

Zet said it wasn't important, but in reality, his heart was filled with resentment.

Because he is actually a descendant of the pirate king Sebastian Redmond, and his full name is Zet Redmond.

The fifth-generation descendant of the Pirate King.

However, due to the Seven Seas Alliance's years of covert hunting down the descendants of the Pirate King, he had no choice but to change his name to Zet Lockhart.

But... one day, I will restore the glory of the Pirate King.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and Zet Redmond silently made a vow in his heart.

"oh.......!"

The red-haired woman, Eileen, gave Zet a meaningful look.

She knew perfectly well that things were definitely not as simple as Zett had made them out to be.

But... so what? What does it have to do with her?

It seems like it doesn't matter.

So no matter what kind of person Zet is, as long as the mission is accomplished, that's all that matters.

In that case... Lord Sarn will reward me.

"Hehe...hehe..."

Red-haired Eileen couldn't help but laugh out loud at the thought of it.

Neuropathy.....

With a muttered curse in his heart, Zet held up the rebellious bone knot of Yumongard and walked straight ahead, ignoring the red-haired woman behind him.

"Tch, what's with the attitude? So what if he knows a little about monsters?"

"He's just a lowly minion at the Lv.3 Dark Surge level."

The red-haired woman, Eileen, who was behind the blond man, Zett, did not stop and let out a mocking laugh as if no one else was around.

As Zet walked ahead, upon hearing the red-haired woman's words, his right hand, adorned with dark gold brass knuckles, unconsciously clenched, and the veins as thick as chopsticks began to bulge.

A violent impulse made him feel compelled to speak out.

"You're asking for it!"

With a roar, the blond man, Zett, swung his forearm back, sweeping it horizontally like a pendulum.

Buzz! ......

Mopi's force, accompanied by the whistling sound of wind cutting through the air at high speed, struck the red-haired woman behind him.

Zet showed no mercy in this attack; he had been holding back against the madwoman for a long time.

"Die..."

Zett silently recited a phrase to himself, waiting for the red-haired woman's head to explode like a watermelon.

Unfortunately... his attack...

It didn't work out.....

Wow! .....

The thick right arm swung quickly, but only created a gust of wind; it achieved nothing.

There was no collision, no touch, only emptiness.

Instinctively, Zet turned around abruptly.

The red-haired woman who had been standing behind him was nowhere to be seen.

It was as if it had never existed.

"What happened?"

Zet murmured something strangely.

Where are they?

"Where did you go? Did you run away? Or what happened?"

"..."

One guess after another floated into Zett's mind, only to be rejected one by one.

There is only one path in the entire passage, one in front and one behind.

A person cannot simply disappear into thin air, especially not silently right under his nose.

"So something happened that I don't know about?"

As he muttered to himself, the blond man Zet's azure pupils began to glow with a soft light, as his thoughts began to coalesce.

He had already used his instinctive power to freeze.

As Zet maintained his condensed state, a layer of grayish-purple mist-like energy began to spread outwards in a circular pattern from his body.

The closer you are to him, the thicker the fog becomes; the farther you are from him, the thinner the fog becomes.

This is his circle.....

As the fog spread, things within a 5-meter radius were clearly reflected in his mind.

It was at this moment that he discovered something unusual.

There's something on the top of my head...

A thought suddenly popped into his head, and Zet looked up sharply!

hiss......

A long, thin black tongue shot out like a javelin the instant he looked up, incredibly fast.

laugh!

Before the sound of something tearing through the air even arrived, flesh and blood had already been pierced!

In an instant, the blond man, Zet, was stabbed through the left shoulder.

"ah!!!"

As his entire arm was pierced by the monster's tongue, it was torn apart from the middle by the long black tongue, just like peeling an onion.

A torrent of blood suddenly gushed out from the sky...

Under such extreme and excruciating pain, Zett couldn't help but scream.
