The Flesh-Winged Monsters and the Toy Soldiers

As soon as Kannari Rin spoke...

This immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the group of professional Hunters. Behind Netero, the Hunters all stared coldly at the woman in front of them.

The other party was practically pointing a finger at them and accusing them of being incompetent Hunters.

Jin's expression was serious.

Netero, standing to the side, showed no change in expression, simply stating calmly.

"Since the Exorcism Team insists on dealing with this Ruins, that's fine, but we still need to be careful."

"Thank you for the reminder, Chairman, but... we have extensive experience in handling these kinds of matters."

"If the Hunter Association members are not currently in a hurry, they can evacuate from here..."

As she spoke, she glanced at Netero and smiled slightly.

"As you know, this is the style of our Exorcism Team!"

After saying that, without waiting for Netero's reply, Kannari Rin walked back, escorted by a group of black-clad combatants.

"President, who are these guys?"

"The Exorcism Team? I don't think I've ever heard of them..."

Jin stared intently at the group of people; he could sense that the Nen emanating from them was quite unusual.

Netero glanced at him sideways and smiled silently.

"What, are you sure you want to know? Trust me, if you deal with these guys, you'll be stuck in trouble for the rest of your life..."

Upon hearing this, Jin's expression stiffened, and he quickly waved his hand.

"Never mind, then you'd better not tell me!"

"But... can they seal this Ruins?"

Upon hearing his words, a glint of light flashed in Netero's eyes. He glanced at the distant Ruins and said thoughtfully.

Who knows?

"However, they are indeed experts at handling these tricky situations, so hopefully... they can solve it..."

Because of Netero's concession.

The Ruins were successfully taken over by the Exorcism Team.

Therefore, the group of Hunters were temporarily placed at a location far away from the Ruins.

The area was guarded by armed men in black.

The Hunters were very unhappy.

But since Netero had already agreed, they had no right to say anything more.

Everyone was holding their breath.

However, among the Hunters, some Hunter were interested in various weapon models noticed the equipment in the hands of these black-clad members, their eyes narrowed, and they said in a deep voice.

"Their weapons are a bit strange..."

Seeing this, his companion asked in confusion.

"Jast, is something wrong?"

The Hunter named Jast stared calmly at the gun barrel on the shoulder of the man in black.

"Currently, the most common gun models on the market are S-1 to S-5. Regardless of the model, all firearms must at least include a safety and a safety device to prevent accidental discharge or jamming."

He glanced at the guns slung over the shoulders of those men and scoffed.

"And these guys' guns have all the safety devices completely removed. At least... even the junk guns circulating in the underworld wouldn't do that, unless they were handmade..."

"But do you think that's possible?"

His companion observed for a few moments, but couldn't see anything wrong, so he asked curiously.

"So, Jast, what's your assessment?"

Just Jast his chin, thought for a moment, and then casually spoke.

"There are probably two reasons... One is that their weapons use different ammunition than ordinary firearms. If they are 100% malfunction-free, the safety device can indeed be removed. In a sense, this reduces the weight of the gun and improves its portability."

"Another theory... their weapons don't need bullets; instead, they use their own Nen to create the attack medium."

"However, this speculation may be incorrect. After all, it would be too incredible for such mass-produced, standardized weapons to still retain the sole method of absorbing Nen to create an attack medium."

Upon hearing Jast's words, his companion nodded thoughtfully.

It has to be said.

Professional Hunters are all unique experts in their respective fields.

Based solely on some subtle observations, Jast's deductions were nearly accurate in terms of the objective truth.

"Pat... pat... pat..."

Inside the Ruins, at the edge of a dark, deep pit, a well-equipped group of heavily armed soldiers in black were slowly approaching.

This unit is no ordinary force; it's a 20-person squad, almost entirely composed of Nen users.

The key issue is that even though he developed Nen...

However, unlike Hunters, they don't have very strong personality traits.

They were like a disciplined army, using standard equipment and carrying guns. Several people would scout ahead each time, then give a hand signal before the others followed. The group was slowly advancing deeper into the cave entrance.

The dark cave entrance exuded an extremely strong Malice; if an ordinary Nen user were to arrive here, they would probably be so terrified that their legs would go weak.

But the faces of this group of people beneath their masks were solemn.

The team leader waved his hand and spoke in a deep voice to his teammates through his headset.

"Number 4, go forward first and throw a C-level Radium Bomb. The rest of you, keep an eye out. There are thousands of infected lurking in this cave. We could be alerted at any time. If there's any unusual movement, shoot them immediately!"

Upon hearing his words, one of the men in black quickly stepped forward and pulled a small, round, silver ball from his waist pocket.

He wrapped his fingers in Nen, tapped the ball three times, and then threw it forcefully into the hole.

While in the air, regular cracks began to appear on the silver sphere, and then a burst of dazzling green light erupted from it.

"Boom--"

The next moment, the eerie green flames exploded!

These flames, like Bone-Gnawing Maggot, were scattered on the wall, slowly burning.

This also drew the attention of a group of men in black to the terrifying scene inside the dark, deep cave.

Countless humanoid creatures were covered with dense, eerie black runes, layered upon each other.

The explosion of the Radium Bomb undoubtedly alerted them.

"Rustling..."

On their bodies and backs, strange fleshy wings, resembling cicada wings, fluttered up and shook, as if preparing to take off!

The group of men in black naturally noticed this scene, and their pupils contracted.

"Be on guard!"

"Whoosh!"

The first humanoid monster flapped its fleshy wings and took flight.

Then, behind it, countless densely packed humanoid monsters, like a swarm of mayflies, flew out of the dark, deep hole in an instant!

"Shooting!!"

Seeing this, the members in black were shocked, and the captain immediately shouted.

The next moment, they raised their guns.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

Beams of purple laser light shot out from their guns, instantly exploding in flames upon striking the flying monsters with astonishing power.

Just as Jast had guessed.

The weapons used by these Exorcism Team are made of Nen, forged using technology obtained by V5 from former underground Ruins, and specially equipped for their team that deals with all sorts of strange Nen entities.

However, even with such a powerful weapon...

However, even among the densely packed monsters, some still managed to escape.

"Pfft!"

In a moment of carelessness, one of the black-clad members was pounced on by the monster with flapping fleshy wings.

Even through the mask, his face was filled with horror; he could clearly see the other person's ferocious teeth, like those of a wild beast, snapping at him!

"Bang!"

However, the black-clad member was quite capable in combat; as soon as he fell to the ground, he delivered a heavy punch to the opponent's head.

With a punch imbued with Nen, he smashed the monster's head to pieces. However, what he failed to notice was that at the moment of contact, the strange black runes on the monster's body seemed to come alive, flowing out like liquid from the other's body, with some of them moving onto his own.

"Hey, Number 10, watch out!"

"Ah! Don't worry, I took care of that guy!"

"You weren't bitten, were you? These monsters can infect people by biting..."

"No, no, besides, we're still wearing Nen defense gear, what's a monster like this..."

Before he could finish speaking, his face froze, and blood vessels began to appear in his pupils.

As if a violent conflict was taking place within him, he took a strange step forward. The members of the black-clad team noticed his abnormality and became alert.

"Number 10, what are you doing? Don't come any closer! Stop coming near!"

"Don't come any closer!!"

"Bang!" "Bang!"...

Several gunshots rang out, and a group of small red toys, holding guns with bayonets, were seen circling around a black-haired boy. This boy was none other than Milluki.

This child is currently being blamed because of a casual remark he made. "He stopped playing with these little toys when he was a few years old."

Ian pulled out Toy Soldier Corps and gave the order to "teach this fat kid a lesson," and the pranks began.

"Laugh!"

Milluki had witnessed the power of that artillery fire firsthand; it was as terrifying as a bomb. Terrified, he dared not move. But the Toy Soldiers wouldn't let him off the hook. He stepped forward and stabbed Milluki in the buttocks with his bayonet, making Milluki howl in pain.
