The Dead Return!
"Boom!!"
Countless cannons were attacking the cavern of the Ruins.
The Hunters around them stood casually, but their eyes were all very solemn.
Despite their individual unique abilities.
But looking at... this terrifying firepower from modern weapons, I also felt a strange, indescribable feeling.
Can humanity... withstand the power of this weapon?
With each shot fired.
Inside the cave, many monsters were bombed to death.
At the same time.
What no one knows is...
Located deep within the Ruins, where the bottom is unseen.
"Ah... I'm awake..."
With a sigh, strange words, distinct from the common language of the mainland, rang out in the darkness.
"Living... living... living..."
"The feeling of being alive... it's so good..."
Inside the coffin, a figure's chest rose and fell slowly before it sat up.
"Now... how many years have passed?"
"My dynasty... my people... I betrayed everything... and survived..."
"I'm alive! I'm still alive! I'm still alive!!"
The figure talked to itself, then covered its face with its withered hands, it was hard to tell whether it was excited or crying.
After a while...
Only after he had calmed down did he slowly climb out of the coffin.
His black, withered feet landed on the ground.
A series of eerie green lights flickered around them, but the figure seemed oblivious and continued walking down the stone steps from the coffin on the high platform.
With each step he took...
In the vast surrounding space, on the densely packed stone pillars.
One by one, ferocious-looking figures began to slowly come to life, eerily climbing down from the stone pillars and then kneeling at the foot of the stone steps.
"My people..."
The black figure, resembling burning charcoal, stared at the growing number of kneeling, ferocious figures, its tone complex.
"Let's go, let's go, let's see what era this is, let's rebuild the Gandor Dynasty once again!!"
As he finished speaking...
Within the vast underground space, countless eerie green flames spread out.
Then the light illuminated the countless, eerie stone pillars stretching as far as the eye could see, from which countless monsters were "falling off," as if welcoming... their king!
Outside world.
"Stop the attack! These weapons are not working!"
On the vast field, Jin spoke in a deep voice.
"What are you talking about? Can't you see the number of monsters is decreasing?!"
One of the captains of the Exorcism Team under Kannari Rin frowned, looked at Jin in front of him, and questioned him.
It was his suggestion to deploy Tank Corps.
If the other party says that, aren't they questioning whether his decision was wrong?
Kannari Rin frowned, staring at Kin, waiting for his explanation.
Jin's face showed no sign of joking. He pointed to the cave and said calmly.
"Although the monsters will be killed, the truly important Rune Insects have not decreased..."
"Ordinary shells cannot eliminate these Rune Insects, and once they lose their host, they will lie dormant, waiting for the next person to be infected."
"Right now, countless Rune Insects may already be lurking at the entrance of this Ruins."
"Continuing the attack will only increase the difficulty of entering this Ruins later."
Upon hearing Jin's words, the captain's expression turned somewhat grim.
"Damn it, if you put it that way, isn't there a better way!?"
"Not at the moment..." Jin replied confidently.
"No... there's nothing I can do, what are you arguing about?!" the captain shouted angrily.
Jin's gaze fell on Kannari Rin.
"I've already analyzed the infection pathways of these Malice Rune Insects for you. Doesn't your Exorcism Team have any means to solve this problem?"
Hearing what Jin said.
Kannari Rin met his gaze with a sharp look.
Jin's eyes remained calm throughout. After a moment, Kannari Rin nodded.
"The Exorcism Team does have suitable tools to deal with this method of transmission via Nen, but as you said, there are simply too many of those Rune Insects."
"This isn't a problem that prop can solve."
Jin frowned and said in a deep voice.
"However, it's pointless for these tanks, driven by ordinary people, to advance like this..."
"They can't even drive into the Ruins. Once they cross that line, ordinary people will quickly be infected by the Rune Insects and become one of them, and we can't even stop it."
Even in Jin's understanding.
The Malice Rune Insects before them were extremely difficult to deal with.
The other party can infect ordinary people.
It can also infect Nen users... that's the most troublesome thing.
Ordinary weapons are useless against them; only Nen attacks can destroy them.
But...
If a Nen user gets close to them, they will be infected by the Nen penetrating their body, turning the Nen user into a monster as well.
It would be great if there were groups of Nen users around.
These monsters can be eliminated remotely...
Even if the Nen is eroded, it only erodes the part of the Nen that is separated from the Emission's main body and will not affect the user himself.
As Jin thought of this, another figure suddenly popped into his mind.
Ian!
His item demonstrates extremely powerful Emission abilities!
Those continuous, dense, and incredibly powerful Nen Ability attacks left a deep impression on him, if this guy were here.
"After all that nonsense, you still won't come up with any good ideas. Stop wasting our time, Hunter!"
The captain of the Exorcism Team stared at Jin with disdain and spoke irritably.
Jin's eyes brightened slightly, and he raised his head, saying with some excitement.
"No... perhaps there's a way to deal with these Rune Insects..."
Hearing his words, Kannari Rin was also taken aback.
He had read Jin's intelligence report and knew that the Hunter in front of him was truly skilled.
What method is it?
Jin said with a serious expression.
"I met a child before; his abilities might be able to handle the current problems with the Ruins..."
"Where is that child?" Kannari Rin asked.
"Ejin City!" Jin said calmly.
Kannari Rin was slightly taken aback.
"Ejin City?"
She arrived in Egin first, but due to problems at the Ruins, she turned back. What a coincidence!
"The distance isn't too far; I can arrange for Airship to pick him up. However, it will take at least four days. During that time, can you guarantee that no new problems will arise at the Ruins?"
She stared into Kim's eyes, wanting to hear his judgment.
However, Exorcism Team hurriedly spoke up.
"Group Leader Kannari Rin, how can you expect a Hunter to handle something like this? Besides... the other party is just a child... it's ridiculous!"
"And... how old is that child?" he asked, glancing at Kim again.
Although Jin was somewhat embarrassed, he still told the truth.
"Around fourteen years old..."
Upon hearing his words, there was a moment of silence on the field.
"Pfft... Haha!"
Exorcism Team couldn't help but laugh out loud, pointing at Jin Dao.
"Hunter, you're really joking. A fourteen-year-old kid, you expect him to solve a problem that so many of us can't handle?!"
Kannari Rin was standing to the side, also slightly rubbed her forehead; she hadn't expected this either.
This Hunter, whose intelligence indicates he's incredibly powerful, is actually offering such a ridiculous opinion.
As expected... there are just too many unexpected variables in the Hunter group!
No wonder the higher-ups have never given them too much power.
At this time.
Neither of them took Kim's opinion into account.
However, Kim rubbed his chin, completely ignoring what the two were saying.
He was quite certain that inviting Ian would be the key to solving the thorny problem here.
The key is... that guy might not be willing to come...
"He should be able to handle the trouble here, but he might not be willing to come!"
Upon hearing this...
Kannari Rin and Exorcism Team exchanged a glance as they looked at Kin, who seemed to be racking his brains about how to implement this plan. They were both thinking about it.
Is this guy serious!?
Distance.
Sharku Manor.
"What? You want me to deal with the Ruins? Mwah, the signal's bad! Hello, the signal's bad! Hello, hello, I can't hear you..."
"Smack!"
The call ended.
