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

Chapter 213 Three members of the Satanic Tribe! This is your graveyard!

Lynn stored the Crimson Pearl in the Gate of Babylon, and then met with Gal and the others that evening.

Lots of people.

The Reges royal family put in a lot of effort for this attack, dispatching an elite force of dozens of Nen users.

It also includes assistance from other forces such as the Hunter Association.

Just as the Kingdom of Yingren could seek help from the Seven Deadly Sins and the Satan Clan, the Reges Royal Family could also utilize its own connections.

Without exception, they were all top-notch experts, elite talents, at least B-level; those of lower levels were not suitable to participate in the attack.

The team was led by the A+ rank Nen user with fire-type abilities, and another A+ rank user.

If we add Bisji and Lynn, these are four A+ level powerhouses, whose high-end combat strength has already surpassed that of the Yingren Kingdom.

This is the idea of ​​the Reges royal family.

What they didn't know was that during this time, Lynn had grown into an S-level, and even had several A+ level subordinates.

Lynn was fairly satisfied with the preparations made by the Reges royal family.

At least they took into account the involvement of other forces, so they dispatched enough personnel.

According to Gluttony's report, Yingren Kingdom seems to have anticipated this and, in order to prevent an attack, has summoned Pride and Greed, two of the Seven Deadly Sins, who are currently in the palace.

The possibility that other forces were present cannot be ruled out.

During the discussion, Lynn also gained a better understanding of Gail and the others' plans.

Comparatively speaking, the moral standards of the Reges royal family are higher than those of the Yingren Kingdom.

Although it was for revenge, they did not intend to harm the people by creating opportunities like the Satanic tribe; instead, they went straight to the point and launched a night raid on the palace.

The time was set for 2 a.m. two days later.

Two days passed incredibly quickly, in the blink of an eye.

Under the night.

As planned, the group split into two teams and launched an attack on the palace, which quickly caused chaos at the two entrances to the palace.

Reges's side and the Yingren Kingdom's side were fighting together.

The roles of offense and defense have reversed.

Although both are attacks, this attack by Reges is fundamentally different from the previous attack launched by the Yingren Kingdom.

Yingren Kingdom has a clear objective: to kill Amy, prevent her from becoming the new queen, and incidentally weaken the power of the Reges royal family.

Reges had no particular goal, only one purpose: revenge. So they didn't need to consider anything else; all they had to do was fight.

Because all sides had the advantage in combat power, Reges quickly gained the upper hand until the reinforcements from Yingren Kingdom arrived.

Peng!

Gail's face was icy cold. Her right hand transformed into the shape of a black venomous snake, its fangs precisely biting the ninja's neck, injecting a powerful paralyzing toxin.

In just a moment, the latter's eyes rolled back and he collapsed.

Before Gai Lu could catch her breath, a crimson arrow of blood shot towards her and pierced her right hand before she could react.

Gai Lu's pupils contracted, and as she retreated rapidly, her snake-like eyes fixed on the three figures emerging from the depths of the entrance.

It was none other than the three from the Satan tribe: Sitang, Yingwu, and Hejian.

"Heh, the Twelve Earthly Branches truly live up to their name." He grinned, the blood-red birthmark on his right cheek making his smile rather ugly.

His arrow was aimed at Gail's throat just now, and the fact that Gail was able to avoid it is enough to demonstrate her strength.

That's fine too. If he didn't have the strength, he wouldn't have had enough of killing.

Immediately, a strong sense of death surged from his body. With a wave of his hand, the blood flowing on the field seemed to come alive, surging and transforming into scarlet arrows in mid-air, shooting towards the crowd.

The sudden attack caught many who were not strong enough to defend themselves in time. Arrows of blood pierced through their bodies, and many were hit and died on the spot.

In just one round, more than a dozen people fell.

A death wish?!

Gail frowned. There was only one kind of person who could use the Death Thought so freely: the Satanic!

The Satan race is small in number, but each member is quite powerful. Moreover, those three are probably not the weakest members of the Satan race, but rather among the most powerful.

I never imagined that Yingren Kingdom could hire such a person—is it because someone from the Satan Clan died in the last attack?

So, does the Satanic race intend to use this opportunity to exact revenge?

This attack caused even more blood to flow on the field. As expected, the blood surged towards He Jian, like a huge blood-red water ball floating in the air, a horrifying sight.

This blood could become the weapon that takes their lives at any moment!

This is the power of the Demon Child that He Jian possesses.

He can manipulate his own or others' blood to achieve purposes such as offense and defense.

You can use your own blood freely, but excessive blood loss can be life-threatening, while using someone else's blood requires meeting certain conditions.

The blood can be drawn from either a dead person (i.e., unclaimed blood) or someone who is injured at close range. Blood can be extracted using the power of death, but this will vary depending on the difference in strength between the two parties.

The old man's gaze remained unwavering as he glanced at the altar, losing interest once Lynn was not present.

Keep killing.

Lynn will appear as long as the killing continues.

Reggies' side, of course, would not allow them to continue killing.

Those two are probably not much weaker than me, and the old man—Bisji—had a cold expression. After analyzing the situation of the three, he kicked diagonally downwards with his toes, making a loud bang.

In an instant, several stone slabs shattered, and countless fragments of stone, carrying dust and smoke, drifted forward, directly obscuring the three people's vision.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, most of Reges's side retreated, as the ensuing battle was not something they could participate in.

Those who remained were at least A-level, so their numbers were small.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Kenny, another A+ rank Nen user who uses fire, gathered his hands in front of his chest through the smoke and dust, and at that moment, his powerful Nen energy transformed into scalding flames and burst forth.

A terrifying pillar of fire pierced through the smoke, landing on the blood barrier like a fire dragon, evaporating a large amount of blood, and then striking the empty ground with undiminished momentum.

There was no sign of anyone, only the shrine standing silently in the background.

Nobody here?

Kenny raised an eyebrow and instinctively stepped back.

Almost instantly, two shadow tigers, resembling tigers, sprang out from the shadows where he had just been standing, roaring as they lunged at him.

Kenny quickly raised his hand and released flames, destroying the two Shadow Tigers.

But as he was busy dealing with what was in front of him, two more blood-red arrows shot from the side, one of which pierced through his left arm.

He frowned. There was clearly no one in that direction, so why would they suddenly launch an attack?

And then there were the spirit beasts that leaped out of the shadows—

Kenny was momentarily baffled by the strange ability.

"Watch out for the shadows, they probably have invisibility abilities!" Bisge, who had transformed into her muscular auntie form, said in a deep voice.

Because it was a critical moment, they couldn't release the "circle" to test the waters, and could only rely on their experience to make a judgment.

If nothing unexpected happens, those two should be hiding in the shadows somewhere, so they have to stay away from places with shadows.

That being said, there were plenty of places with shadows, so many that they formed a continuous expanse, occupying a considerable area. Since they were going to storm the palace, they couldn't avoid them.

Immediately, Kenny first condensed fireballs in his hands and blasted them in the direction from which the blood arrow had been shot. An explosive sound rang out, but nothing changed.

But he curled his lips into a smile.

Based on the commotion after the attack, he discovered a place that appeared to be inhabited.

Without hesitation, Kenny launched a fierce attack on that spot, sending a blazing pillar of fire hurtling through the air and causing the temperature to rise sharply.

boom!

A shadow clone appeared before them and was then destroyed by flames. Bissie and Kenny were shocked to see that it was not the real hiding place after all.

At the same time, an A-level expert from the Reges royal family rushed towards the old man's shrine.

If they could capture the shrine, they might be able to force He Jian and the other man to surrender.

The ancestral hall was likely the elder of those two, and being quite old, it meant that the elder was not particularly strong.

At least he didn't feel much threat from the shrine.

"Don't go over there!" Bisge shouted immediately.

In the blink of an eye, the man rushed to the front of the shrine, his body transformed, covered in scales, his hands shaped like scythes, resembling a ferocious and powerful beast.

He belongs to the Beast School of the Reges royal family, and his Nen ability allows parts of his body to resemble a therizinosaur.

The sickle sliced ​​through the air with a loud whooshing sound.

Success!

The man's face lit up with joy, as if he could see the image of the shrine's right arm being cut off. Then he used the sickle to press against the shrine's neck, forcing the two men to appear.

However, the reality differed from what was imagined.

The shrine lightly extended two fingers, a very simple gesture, yet it was like an indestructible pair of scissors, firmly clamping down on the man's sickle-shaped arm.

A tremendous force struck, rendering the man completely immobile.

Immediately afterwards, the shrine chanted in an unknown language, and a strange death wish surged into the man's body through his hand, causing the latter's body to undergo a horrifying change.

His body made cracking sounds as it began to grow larger, and at the same time, a scythe-like arm grew from his right shoulder.

Its face was distorted, half human and half beast, its waist was slender, it was about three meters tall, its back was hunched, and glistening saliva dripped from the corner of its mouth.

He completely lost his mind.

At this moment, he was no longer human, but a monster transformed by the shrine.

"roar!"

The monster roared, wanting to kill the nearest shrine.

The shrine examined the monster and finally gave it a score of 60, which was barely acceptable, but it was qualified to be accepted.

Faced with the powerful monster, he casually struck it down, then punched it several more times until it was on the verge of death, before condensing it into a pitch-black sphere and swallowing it.

Upon seeing this, Bisge and the others looked shocked.

A perfectly healthy person was transformed into a monster in such a short time and even eaten!

At this moment, He Jian and Ying Wu, who were already prepared, launched an attack from Bisji's left side at the same time, shooting out multiple blood arrows, accompanied by shadow tigers made of shadows.

With such a dense barrage of attacks, it's impossible to dodge them all.

Bisge sighed inwardly. To be honest, she really wanted to avoid, and even didn't want to attack, these things made of deathly thoughts.

As a veteran, she also knew something about the Satanic race. Their abilities were often even more bizarre than Nen abilities, and who knew what kind of effects close contact would have.

Unfortunately, she is a Transmutation type, not very good at ranged attacks, and her Nen ability is not helpful in combat, so she can only fight in close combat.

With a flick of her toe, Bisji overturned a large stone slab without destroying it, and suddenly stood in front of her, covering it with Nen, giving the slab amazing defensive power.

boom!

Blood arrows and shadow beasts hit the stone slab.

As the stone slab withstood the attack, Bisge rushed out from the side, joining Kenny on the left and right, and launched an attack on Herjian and his companion.

For a moment, the four fought together, causing a loud commotion. They were unable to determine a winner in a short time until the shrine intervened.

The old man, like a ghost, suddenly appeared beside Kenny, who was being forced back by Yingwu. His withered arm seemed to exert little force, yet it gave the latter a terrifying power.

Click—

Kenny didn't have time to strengthen his defense with his psychic energy. His left arm was instantly broken, and he was sent flying backward, crashing straight into the wall behind him.

"Kenny!" Bisge quickly retreated, distancing herself from the three people in the shrine, and looked at them with a solemn expression.

"Elder, we are truly sorry." He Jianying and the other person bowed their heads and apologized to the shrine. They were incompetent, forcing the shrine to intervene personally.

The shrine remained silent, only staring at an empty space with its pitch-black right eye, as if it sensed something was about to happen there.

The next moment, a door suddenly appeared in the previously empty space.

The door was opened.

Lynn walked out with a blank expression. His gaze swept across the scene and he knew what had happened. Then he looked at the three people in the shrine.

He was originally in another team, but after receiving a message from Gal, he used the Door-Door Fruit to come and provide support.

Death consciousness — is Satan's kind of thing.

It finally appeared.

Lynn!

The shrine's eyes hardened, and a strong death intent burst forth from its body. A cube-shaped, dark purple monster suddenly materialized behind it. The monster had only one eye, and its body was covered with unknown patterns.

Streams of deathly intent surged into the ground, instantly forming an isolated space composed of deathly intent, containing only the three people from the nearest shrine, Lynn, and Bisge, a total of five people.

"【Tomb Guardian】"

The ancestral hall suddenly spoke, its voice low and deep.

That's the child's name.

"At this moment, we are in a separate, isolated space, like a desolate graveyard."

"And you, Lynn, will die here."

This is your grave.

The ancestral hall spoke calmly, as if stating a given fact.

He used the [Tomb Guardian] to prevent Lynn from escaping, and Bissie was just a bonus that was included because she was too close.

Since we're here, let's all become his dead beasts.

Although Bisji was that old man's apprentice, that guy didn't have many years left to live. They could hide in the house and no outsiders could find them, so the shrine didn't care.

Biskey came to Lynn's side, her face serious.

Now, Lynn is the only one she can rely on.

They must work together to defeat the three people in the ancestral hall in order to have a chance to escape.

Compared to Bisge, Lynn's expression remained unchanged throughout, eerily calm, and she showed no reaction even when she heard the shrine's death declaration.

"I will return your words in full."

"This is your burial ground."
