Hunter x Hunter: Card Master, the Strongest in the World.

Chapter 106 A Sudden Attack! Monsters and Ninjas!

First, we arrived at his private kitchen, which was filled with a dazzling array of ingredients, enough to astound any outsider.

Any one of these ingredients would be something that gourmet hunters would desperately crave.

Lynn stood behind Erina, who was preparing dinner, and conjured the Eternal Spirit Blade from behind her waist. From this angle, Erina could see it when she looked down.

"Hmm?" Erina was taken aback and glanced down at a kitchen knife that was slightly dull but had a unique charm.

"This is!" Erina exclaimed, covering her mouth with her hand in surprise. Her pair of jewel-like eyes were fixed on the Eternal Spirit Blade, as if she were examining the most beautiful work of art in the world.

For chefs, only two things truly resonate with them: ingredients and kitchen utensils.

These two things are essential throughout a chef's career.

Before this, Erina had never seen such a fine knife.

"Can I take a look?" Erina took a deep breath and asked Lynn.

"Of course, this is for you. It's called the Eternal Spirit Blade." With that, Lynn handed the Eternal Spirit Blade to Erina, which made the latter tremble slightly with excitement.

Absolutely a great knife!

Gently stroking the blade, Erina could feel a refreshing coolness, as if she could smell the salty sea breeze on her face—if she wasn't mistaken, this knife should be perfect for handling seafood!

"What a pity—it doesn't seem to be in very good condition." Erina sighed softly, her tone filled with deep regret.

She could also tell that this was not the complete form of the Eternal Spirit Blade; it seemed that due to some influence, its power had been reduced to less than one-tenth.

"It's still sealed, but as long as you use it more to process seafood, it will gradually break the seal. I believe it will be happy to be used by a chef like you," Lynn explained.

"Yes! I will definitely use it well." Erina nodded emphatically. Lynn trusted her so much, she couldn't let him down.

So, with everything in full swing and upgraded equipment, Erina quickly prepared lunch, which consisted mostly of seafood.

At the long table, Leorio looked at the golden food on the table, drooling while feeling a sense of unease.

Is this normal food?!

But then, his rationality was very fragilely overwhelmed, and only the thought of "eating" remained in his mind. When he came to his senses, he realized that he had already eaten his fill, but the extremely wonderful taste still lingered on his tongue and could not be shaken off.

Although Leorio didn't eat much, the food contained a lot of energy, so he felt bloated after only a few bites.

In comparison, the main force is still Lynn, Chopper, and Yuki-onna.

Gengar, on the other hand, hasn't come over for a meal in the past month because it has a better "food" to eat.

After finishing their meal, Lynn smiled as he looked at Chopper and the others. Even though they didn't have gourmet cells, the effects of the food were still significant.

During this period, Chopper and his friends made significant progress. For example, Chopper finally overcame that hurdle and was promoted from B+ to A-.

The Snow Woman was promoted from B-rank to B+-rank.

Gengar hasn't broken through yet, but according to it, it'll be soon.

Everything is on track and thriving.

Just when he thought this kind of life could continue, a few days later, a sudden change occurred.

Inside the bedroom.

Lynn held the [Snake Talisman] in his hand. The next moment, he became transparent from his feet up to the top of his head and disappeared completely. The whole process took about three seconds and required full concentration.

Besides the body, the clothes also became transparent.

Looking at the empty reflection in the mirror, Lynn still felt a sense of novelty, even though she had tried it many times.

After all, who didn't dream of becoming invisible when they were a child?

Not to mention in real life, even anime characters are the same. For example, Sanji from One Piece has longed to eat the Clear-Clear Fruit since he was a child. If he had the Snake Talisman, he would be overjoyed.

Of course, setting aside some unhealthy ideas, the snake charm is also a very useful tool, especially suitable for infiltration and reconnaissance.

Sneak attacks and escapes are practically the specialties of a master strategist.

Just as he was engrossed in his research, a loud bang came from outside.

The sound was unusually loud, as if a bomb had exploded, something that had never happened before in the base.

Lynn frowned, instinctively becoming alert.

He remained invisible as he went out, and when he arrived at the empty corridor, his first instinct was to head towards where Amy, Gail, and the others were.

But the repeated noises and the slightly shaking ground made him pause. He narrowed his eyes and then walked to Leorio's bedroom, which was not far away, and deactivated his invisibility to open the door.

Just then, Leorio opened the door and came out, completely bewildered. Seeing Lynn outside, he hurriedly asked, "Master, I think I heard an explosion. Has something happened?"

"Listen, the base has likely been attacked. You don't need to do anything now, just stay inside." Lynn raised his hand to stop Leorio from speaking, and then a flash of white light appeared beside him, followed by Capone, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Inside? In a room? Leorio had this question in mind one second, and the next second he was sucked into Capone's castle.

Lynn couldn't guarantee the safety of other places, but at this moment he believed that Capone's castle was the safest place for Leorio.

Lynn remained expressionless, but a series of thoughts flashed through his mind.

The base has most likely been attacked. He currently knows nothing about the enemy—their numbers, strength, and distribution—so he needs to be even more cautious in his actions.

He first recalled Capone and Chopper and Gengar who were outside, ensuring his own safety was the top priority, and then used the [Snake Charm] to enter stealth mode and go out to investigate the situation.

He chose to head towards the dojo rather than where Amy was. If they were attacked, Amy would be the enemy's target, so that would be the most dangerous place.

The dojo is relatively safe, and there is a chance of encountering Bisji and others. If they can meet up successfully, the safety will be improved.

Soon after, Lynn heard a very loud noise nearby. He got up and went to investigate, only to find people fighting in a hall. Among them, the weaker party was none other than his acquaintances, Lei Guang and Man Niu.

Peng!

Lightning was blasted away by a surging torrent of water, leaving a long, straight trail on the ground.

Then his head lolled to the side and he fainted.

Because of their different abilities, the bulls are tough and resilient, so they held out for a while longer, but it was clear that they were struggling.

The next moment, the air flashed with the light of blades.

The bull gritted its teeth, its eyes bloodshot, and crossed its thick, hairy arms in front of it, attempting to block the powerful attack.

However, his opponent was clearly stronger than him. In just an instant, his arms and torso were covered with countless knife marks, as if he had been slowly tortured to death. A moment later, blood gushed out like arrows.

The bull let out a muffled groan, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of its mouth, but it remained standing firm, like a rock that stood tall against the raging storm waves.

"Not bad willpower, but how many of my strikes can you withstand?" Inugami, dressed in a long robe, stroked his bushy beard with his left hand while holding an extremely sharp katana in his right.

He appeared expressionless, but his eyes held an intense arrogance.

With his strength, Bull could easily take down several of them. The only reason he's been able to hold on until now is because he's thick-skinned.

"Can you hurry up? If you're not going, then I'm going." The person next to Inugami, dressed in uniform and wearing a black veil, couldn't help but speak up.

His attire clearly indicates that he is a ninja, and it was he who used Water Release ninjutsu to knock out Lightning.

"Speaking to me like that—Mina, do you want to die?" Inugami turned and pointed the tip of his sword at the name "Mina".

The ninja narrowed his eyes, his aura menacing.

"You think I'm afraid of you? You damned devil!" Mizunashi gripped his kunai, ready to strike.

Suddenly, the atmosphere on the field became subtle.

Despite belonging to the same Yingren Kingdom and participating in this mission together, the [Hyakki] and [Ninja] are actually...

Their relationship wasn't good; they both wanted to outdo each other.

Inugami is a second-tier demon among the "Hyakki" (Hundred Demons), while Mizunashi is a Jonin (High Ninja) among the "Ninja," of the same rank as Inugami, and their strength is roughly the same.

Therefore, neither of them was willing to admit that they were inferior to the other.

This is no longer just a matter of personal dignity; it has risen to the level of the organization's reputation.

The enemy has yielded? The bull blinked, then took a few steps back, intending to secretly take Lightning with him and escape.

But with such a large physique, how could the enemy possibly miss him?

Mizunashi enveloped his kunai in Nen and prepared to hurl it at the bull, an attack that could take its life instantly!

However, a sudden fluctuation of spiritual energy came from his side, and a strange light appeared.

His pupils contracted, and the quick reflexes honed by years of ninja training prompted him to instinctively dodge to the side.

Suddenly, Chopper appeared in his Jujutsu form, punched but missed, and landed on the ground, instantly creating a shocking crack and a crater. Thick smoke and dust, along with scattered rocks, shot into the sky.

It's Chopper! The bull was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with wild joy.

He knew perfectly well how strong Chopper was!

And since Chopper is here, Lynn must be nearby too.

Are there enemies?

Suddenly it appeared—is this a Nen Beast?

But where are the Nen users?

Inugami suddenly became alert, his triangular eyes scanning his surroundings intently. His right hand gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, ready to unleash a rapid barrage of sword strikes at any moment. His "Inugami-ryu swordsmanship" was all about fast swordsmanship, capable of unleashing thirty-six strikes per second, leaving his enemies covered in wounds before they could even react.

Suddenly, the dog god looked up in astonishment.

Suddenly, an unfamiliar Nen user appeared above him and fell like a meteor.

How is that possible?

Why did he suddenly appear above?

Teleport?

The dog was puzzled, but instinctively raised the blade to block above its head. Since there was no time to dodge, it had no choice but to take the hit head-on!

Peng!

Lynn's fist landed on the katana, and the tremendous force of the impact instantly traveled along the blade to Inugami's arms, causing them to bend uncontrollably.

That force!

Inugami's pupils contracted; just from this power alone, he could tell that this was a formidable enemy!

Wait, this person looks familiar...

Isn't that the exorcist? Are exorcists that powerful?
