The monsters attack...
They have acquired a nuclear weapon, "Godly Might No. 1".
Ian was in a good mood.
As I walked forward, my steps became lighter in the dark Passageway.
Jin noticed the change in him.
He hadn't had time to notice what had happened to the other person, and his expression was somewhat strange.
"We might be facing that monster right now, aren't you worried?"
Ian shook his head and chuckled.
"Worry?"
"Remember, it will always avoid my attacks; when we meet on a narrow path... the brave will prevail!"
"Just watch whether I beat it up or not!"
Having said that, he held his head high, chest out, and walked forward.
Jin stared wide-eyed in surprise at Ian's confident demeanor, shaking his head vigorously, wondering if he had taken the wrong medicine.
Knov then joined Netero and King's team.
Noticing Ian approaching, she looked slightly embarrassed.
After all.
In that battle, he was the defeated opponent.
Moreover, his abilities are severely hampered by the surrounding Malice Crystals, rendering them temporarily ineffective.
It couldn't even destroy these crystals.
For the first time.
Knov felt a deep sense of frustration and defeat.
Now look at that boy named Ian.
The strength they displayed was simply terrifying!
As expected... the other person is the real genius...
"Oh, it's Knov!"
When his name was called, Knov was unsure how to react and felt somewhat awkward.
Ian was in a good mood and smiled at the other person.
He was still a little worried when he thought about how the other party reacted when they encountered the Meruem in the original story.
Only he knew that beneath Knov's cold exterior lay a heart that wasn't very strong. It wouldn't be good if the other party was scared out of his wits by the Nen released by that unknown enemy.
After thinking for a moment, under the other person's surprised gaze, he raised his hand, patted the other person's shoulder, grinned, and said seriously.
"Don't worry, although the enemy's momentum is strong, even... enough to almost make one lose the courage to fight them..."
"But remember... no matter what kind of monster I face, I have the ability to defeat that guy!"
"Don't panic! Don't panic!"
After Ian offered some encouragement to the other party...
He then happily continued walking forward.
His behavior might seem somewhat inexplicable to the other Hunters.
But Knov was different; he stared blankly at the other person's retreating figure.
In that brief moment, his heart, which was filled with panic, seemed to feel a sense of security.
This guy... understands me!
Not long after.
Finally, the Malice Crystals thoughts ahead were completely cleared away.
"Phew... finally all that stuff is gone."
"Don't let your guard down, the real trouble is yet to come!"
"The monster hasn't appeared yet, we need to be vigilant!"
The Hunters and Exorcism Team had contributed their efforts were discussing among themselves.
Ahead, there was another ancient Stone Gate.
It is carved with many ancient murals; even gold has never reached this place.
He first used the concept of "circle" to sense his surroundings.
He breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming that he no longer felt the Restraint of using Nen. If there were Malice Crystals, it would be too restrictive for Nen users like them.
Ian looked curiously at the Stone Gate and the carvings on the outer wall.
Jin slowly stepped forward, his gaze gradually turning serious as he looked at the ancient pattern depicting little people and some twisted lines.
"What is recorded here? Does it describe events that occurred Gandor Dynasty?"
Ian leaned closer and asked curiously.
Jin nodded, moved the flashlight closer to the wall, and explained to everyone with a furrowed brow.
"Judging from the inscriptions on the murals, this country seems to have once experienced a fierce battle with monsters..."
"Even for this country, this war is of paramount importance."
"Otherwise, it wouldn't have been specifically recorded here."
"You see, apart from this record of this event, there is no other information here."
His fingers pressed against the wall, his gaze following the carved lines, moving little by little, his fingers rubbing against the wall, making a "swish" sound.
He pointed to a mass of black lines and said earnestly.
"This..."
His finger moved quickly, pointing to two other places to the side, and he said calmly.
"Here, and over here, the carvings depict the most deadly threat to this country at that time—the monster we see before us."
The other Hunters gathered around, and even the Exorcism Team came over.
Jin possesses a wealth of knowledge regarding Ancient Ruins.
He began his explanation here.
"Actually, this dense, black, spherical pattern of thread has appeared here before..."
"I have seen records of this in the Hill Site that I have explored, as well as in the existing Great Rift Valley Ruins in the Kingdom of Bomiyahan. However, unfortunately... these depictions only record the scenes of war at that time."
He frowned and continued in a low voice.
"No Ruins has provided any direct record of it, therefore, we have no idea what it actually is."
"Perhaps... this exploration of the Gandor Dynasty Ruins will answer this question for me."
Hearing his last words.
Ian had been listening quietly, suddenly looked speechless.
"These things can destroy a dynasty; I advise you to avoid even thinking about encountering them."
Everyone around Ian shared the same opinion.
Kannari Rin frowned upon hearing Kin's words.
Having encountered many secret events, she had already begun to associate the monster recorded on the map with a certain continent, and couldn't help but swallow hard.
This time, she sided with Ian.
This monster could potentially be called a "disaster"...
It's best to avoid encountering it.
Should we open the door?
At this moment, Mizaistom spoke up.
The group looked at Jin.
After all, Jin is an expert when it comes to Ruins.
Sensing the gazes of the crowd, Jin slowly looked at the gate standing not far in front of him and said in a deep voice.
"Open it!"
Several Hunters cautiously approached and tried to push, but the massive Stone Gate remained unmoved.
They looked at each other, somewhat embarrassed.
"This door... is very heavy..."
One of the Exorcism Team stepped forward, quite proudly stating...
"Let me try. I've never met anyone stronger than me!"
The black uniform looked bulky and baggy on him.
His arms were as strong as an ordinary person's thigh. He stepped forward, gathering his Nen in his palms, veins bulging on his forehead, and slammed the door open, shouting in a deep voice.
"Open it... for me!!"
The next moment, a powerful burst of Nen erupted from his body.
With a tremor, the door was slowly pushed open a crack.
However, that's all.
The Exorcism Team turned red in the face, and he didn't push any further. He gasped for breath and gritted his teeth.
"Damn it, this is the best we can do!"
"This stone door is practically a single piece; it's completely immovable!"
Seeing this, everyone frowned slightly.
This guy, who's clearly a master of Enhancement, can't even push open this door!
Why did they build this gate in ancient times?
For burial?
While everyone else was merely speculating, Ian had already begun to try!
His eyes were fixed on the distant gate as he slowly extended his palm forward, and the hat on his head seemed to gleam at that moment.
"Squeak--"
A slow, muffled sound echoed throughout the Ruins.
The massive Stone Gate, as if pushed open by an invisible force, slowly opened. Those around noticed Ian's actions and, seeing his flushed face, naturally guessed that it was all the other party's doing.
"Open it!"
With his Telekinesis, Ian pulled the submarine out of the sea like Magneto.
Overclocking utilizes Telekinesis!
"Boom--"
The massive Stone Gate was pushed open completely, and everyone around stared in shock at the young man before them.
The opponent's strength is simply too great!
Ian had no time to pay attention to them. He was breathing heavily and looking through the Stone Gate into the room.
It was very strange; a road winding downwards.
Eerie green lights burned on both sides of the road, as if it were a road leading to their deaths.
Why are the lights on in here?
One of the Hunters looked wary and raised a question.
Even Netero in the group narrowed his eyes and became serious.
Because after that person finished speaking.
Then they heard hurried sounds coming towards them from the direction of the winding road leading down.
Everyone's expression changed slightly.
What could it be!?
Before long, they saw countless grotesque and twisted monsters attacking along the winding road!
Pale skin, sharp teeth, despite being similar in build to a human.
But that hideous face and the strange, sticky liquid on its body have nothing to do with humans!
The key point is...
The monsters practically gushed forth, like heaps of loaches, a truly terrifying sight.
Without any hesitation.
Upon seeing this, everyone immediately launched an attack!
