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

Chapter 228 Maha's Shock! A Terrifying Light Wave!

Within the Republic of Batochia.

Kuku Lushan.

This is an extinct volcano with an altitude of 3722 meters. Its summit is shrouded in black mist all year round and is one of the most famous tourist attractions in the entire six continents!

The real reason will leave you utterly astonished: it's because of a family of assassins who have taken up residence here!

noon.

The sun is shining brightly.

"The Gate of the Underworld".

"Lynn stood in front of the Zoldyck family's gate, looked around, and felt that it was pretty good."

Especially that tall door, which made the Zoldyck family appear even more majestic, making anyone standing in front of it seem much smaller.

The area is surrounded by a continuous wall, and you have to pass through here to get into the Zoldyck family home.

The material of the gate was unclear, but it faintly shone with a metallic luster, and the numbers of the Hunter World were written from bottom to top.

Above the gate, on either side, is a dragon-shaped statue. Although the Zoldyck family is an assassin family, they also have many "dragon-like" characteristics.

For example, buildings, the sub-dragon monsters kept in the house, or even Jeno's Nen ability, [Dragon Head Gagga].

Perhaps the cards appearing in the trait bar here are related to dragons.

Lynn thought to herself.

Dragons are a powerful symbol in many worldviews.

For example, the Dragon Balls in Dragon Ball, the pseudo-legendary Dragon-type Pokémon, and the Blue Dragon Fruit in One Piece —

Lynn gathered his thoughts and focused his gaze on the main gate directly in front of him.

There is supposedly one gate, but there are actually seven, each with a different weight to push open, from smallest to largest.

The smallest one weighs two tons on each side!

The largest one weighs 128 tons on each side!

It is said that only the owner can open it completely, as it does not possess a key.

Because of its stringent conditions, this gate is known as the "Gate of Trials" or the "Gate of the Underworld"!

However, in the lower right corner of this seemingly impenetrable main door, there is a small door.

It's as if it was deliberately prepared for someone.

In fact, it was specially prepared by the Zoldyck family.

Known as the world's number one assassin family, the Zoldyck family often faces all sorts of troublemakers or challenges.

If you can open the door and enter on your own merit, a butler will take care of you.

However, most of them are people who can't even open the smallest two-ton door. These people usually go to the guard post next door and forcibly take the key to the small door.

Faced with such people, the cleaners only offered a token resistance before handing over the keys.

It's important to know that anyone working for the Zoldyck family is quite capable; the minimum requirement is being able to open even the smallest door.

Jebrong is a cleaner, but he drinks water from a 20-kilogram teacup every day in order to build his strength.

To outsiders, he appears to be a security guard in the guardhouse, but in fact, he is a cleaner.

Clean up those arrogant people who entered through the small door; clean up their remains after they were eaten by monsters.

Looking at the tall door, Lynn had no intention of opening it.

Anyone wishing to enter must push open the massive Gate of the Underworld; this is the Zoldyck family's first test for outsiders.

Although with his strength he could easily blast open a door, let alone blow it away, he didn't need to follow the Zoldyck family's rules.

The Zoldyck family doesn't have that qualification yet.

Furthermore, after today, the Zoldyck family will be completely under his control!

Lynn leaped lightly into the sky and crossed the towering Gate of the Underworld.

Did that person simply "skip" the gates of the underworld?!

Jie Xiarong, who had been watching closely from the side, quickly rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was getting old and his eyes were playing tricks on him.

A moment later, he hurriedly dialed the housekeeper, Wutong.

A powerful figure has arrived!

Lynn had already arrived inside the gate and was slowly walking forward.

"Waaah————"

Just then, from the dark forest nearby came a series of low, guttural roars of wild beasts, accompanied by heavy footsteps.

It can be discerned from the sound that the person making the footsteps is quite large.

A few breaths later, a huge magical beast emerged from it. It looked somewhat like a wolf, but it was exceptionally large.

This is Sanmao, the watchdog that the Zoldyck family keeps!

If someone pushes open the main door and comes in, the butler will take care of them; if they come in through the side door, they will be eaten by Sanmao!

Sanmao hadn't seen the door open, so she followed the smell to Lynn.

Those scarlet eyes stared intently at Lynn, who was walking slowly forward, and even licked the corner of his mouth, as if he already regarded Lynn as his meal.

Just as it was about to pounce, things suddenly took a dramatic turn!

Lynn glanced at it sideways, and that casual glance completely stunned it!

"Do you want to eat me?"

That was an extremely terrifying look!

will die!

They will definitely die!!

Sanmao's pupils suddenly contracted, his whole body stiffened, and cold sweat poured down his back. It was the first time he had ever felt such an astonishing aura, and the first time he had ever felt so close to death!

"Waaaaah————"

It immediately lowered its body, like a lapdog, and wagged its tail frantically at Lynn, indicating that it was harmless.

Even in moments of nervousness and confusion, her voice unconsciously tightened.

It knew that if it had taken just one more step forward, death would have awaited it!

The biggest difference between Warcraft and wild beasts is that Warcraft has a higher intelligence, and some Warcraft can even speak human language.

Just from the faint aura Lynn just exuded, it knew that the person in front of it was someone it could not afford to offend!

He's even much stronger than Silva, the head of the family!

Lynn glanced at it briefly before looking away and walking straight ahead.

Seeing that Lynn ignored him, Sanmao's large eyes showed a mixture of relief and lingering fear, making him appear extremely human.

Rich emotions are also one of the characteristics of Warcraft.

Sanmao immediately took off running deeper into the area, fleeing the place as quickly as possible, fearing that falling behind would mean certain death.

Not long after Sanmao left, Lynn encountered Wutong, who came to greet him with a serious expression.

In the Zoldyck family's main mansion, Lynn sat in the dimly lit hall, while Silva sat directly in front of him.

"What brings you here today?"

Silba sat on his throne and looked at Lynn, pretending that they were just casual acquaintances.

Judging from their appearance, no one else could guess the truth. Who could have guessed that Silva, or even Geno, were Lynn's puppets?

The reason they had to have this conversation was to put on an act "in front of" Mahathir.

Although Mahathir is not on the field, it is better to be prepared just in case.

Lynn also delivered the prepared statement.

He wants to pay to fight Mahathir under the guise of a friendly competition.

Normally, the Zoldyck family wouldn't accept such a request, but he was willing to offer a large sum of money, and given his status, there was room for negotiation.

Shiba said he would seek Mahathir's opinion.

Soon after, Shiba returned and took him to see Maha.

When Lynn met Maha, he couldn't help but marvel at Togashi's imagination.

Who would have thought that a world-class powerhouse was actually an old man who liked to spend all his time in his room watching cartoons?

The person standing in front of Lynn was none other than Maha Zoldyck!

He was as small as a child, bald, and always wore the same tracksuit and shorts, with flip-flops on his feet.

If it weren't for the wrinkles on his face that symbolize old age, people would probably mistake him for a child.

"Young man, would you like to spar with me?"

While watching a childish cartoon, Maha asked a question in a slightly low voice.

Even when guests come, Maha remains glued to the cartoon, seemingly engrossed in it for no apparent reason.

"That's right," Lynn said calmly.

"Interesting, a powerful exorcist, huh?"

"Ha, it's all good if you pay."

Mah glanced at Lynn, stood up, casually turned off the cartoon that was playing, put his hands in his pockets, and walked out.

The two arrived at a forest a little further away; in fact, the Zoldyck family had a special training ground.

But if my intuition is correct, Maha estimates that the usual training ground is definitely not enough for them to unleash their full potential.

Fortunately, the Zoldyck family occupies a very large area, even including a large part of Kukuroku Mountain within their territory.

Standing on the high point and looking down, all you can see is the territory of the Zoldyck family.

The Zoldyck family's buildings are mostly located in the central area, while the rest of the area is covered by forests, which are usually the habitat of domesticated monsters.

Only in the forest, where there were no buildings nearby, could Maha feel safe to fight Lynn.

Repairing buildings is also a considerable expense.

The two stood in a clearing in the forest, each choosing a spot to stop.

Seeing that Maha was staring at him without moving, Lynn understood what he meant.

it's time.

Lynn took a deep breath and then unleashed an astonishing aura!

This deafening roar, accompanied by an overbearing aura, quickly spread outwards.

The aura swept past Maha and then rushed into the distance without stopping, almost enveloping most of the Zoldyck family!

The frightened subspecies of magical beasts scattered in the opposite direction from the two, causing quite a commotion.

"Hehehehe—such formidable strength—"

"This will cost more money."

Mahathir remained standing there, outwardly calm, but inwardly a storm was raging!

How old is the young man in front of me?

They've actually reached this level of strength!

With his years of experience as an assassin, Maha could naturally tell that Lynn wasn't the type to conceal his appearance through some method.

For example, there's a muscular woman named Biskey who always dresses up as a little girl.

In other words, this young man really has reached the same level of strength as old men like them at such a young age.

It might even be higher!

Maha's hands, which were originally in his pockets, were now out.

Faced with this terrifying aura, all the muscles in his body tensed up, ready to respond to any sudden attack.

At the same time, the brain begins to work rapidly, analyzing Lynn's relevant information from all aspects and making the right response.

As a top-tier assassin, Maha is highly skilled at gathering information during combat.

This is also a skill that a top assassin should possess!

After all, not every target you want to kill will have information available, which is where sufficient analytical skills are needed.

After releasing his aura, Lynn did not move immediately. Instead, he placed his hands on his waist in a posture similar to the Kamehameha, and dense, violent crimson energy continued to accumulate.

This is one of the applications of the [Pig Talisman] effect. If used properly, it can launch an attack like a wave.

The S-level pig charm is quite effective.

Taking the circle as an example, he can now release a circle that is more than three kilometers long, which greatly enhances his energy release ability.

The original work mentions that the range of a top-tier master's "Circle" is around fifty meters, while the Catwoman, who is described as the most skilled at using "Circle," has an astonishing range of two kilometers.

And his "circle" is even above that!

A buzzing sound was heard in the air.

The terrifying energy surged higher and higher, startling Mah.

Buzz—

This guy—

Is it really just a friendly sparring match?

Mah noticed something amiss. His experience as a century-old assassin allowed him to sense something was wrong; he felt a murderous aura emanating from Lynn.

That wasn't the aura of a normal attack.

It was not a murderous aura, but a murderous intent to kill the person in front of him!

Do you have other plans?

Maha narrowed his eyes slightly.

He immediately rolled up his sleeves, stomped his foot hard on the ground, shattering the ground instantly, and charged towards Lynn like an arrow released from a bow.

At the same time, his hands moved up and down, bending irregularly, leaving afterimages as he moved at extremely fast speed.

The fingertips at the front of the palm faintly revealed the phantom of a snake-shaped fang, unstoppable!

A serpentine curve!

Its attack style is very similar to the way Qi attacks mosquitoes and chimeras; its two hands are like whips, attacking in a curved arc.

However, Maha incorporated snake-like techniques into this move, creating his own unique style.

It is much more powerful.

But before he could rush very far, his speed decreased, as if he had run out of energy.

Only Mahathir knew that this was not his problem.

Suddenly, it felt as if a huge mountain was weighing on my back, slowing me down—what was happening?!

Maha suddenly looked at the shadow at his feet; something was wrong with the shadow!

A crimson eye appeared in the shadow, seemingly smiling.

[Shadow Step] Success!

No, it's too late! In a panic, Maha instinctively dodged to the side.

Buzz—

The next moment, a beam of light suddenly shot out from Lynn's hand, like a roaring fire dragon, charging ferociously forward!

boom!!

The roar resounded through the sky!

A beam of light containing destructive energy raged wildly.

In the blink of an eye, the scene was completely transformed!

All that remained was a nearly shattered ground and thick smoke filling the sky.

The air temperature suddenly rose sharply, and a heat wave rolled in.

The originally small open space has expanded considerably, and at the same time, a straight road suddenly appears in front of Lynn!

As far as the eye could see, everything was pitch black and reddish like charcoal, radiating terrifying heat, as if the soil had been plowed countless times.

It was destroyed by the high-temperature beam of light!

This terrifying light wave actually carved a path through the forest!

If someone were to look from the sky, they would see that a large crater had appeared in the Zoldyck family's territory, along with a newly formed long crater.

It looks like an exclamation mark, and the scene is quite spectacular.
