A King from the Past Receives Your Audience...

"Screech!"

"Screech!"

Countless pale-skinned monsters let out ferocious roars.

Their claw-like hands scratched and clawed forward, their pupils were black, and they twisted and turned, their bodies covered in mucus, which gave them great mobility.

They are extremely aggressive.

It's like a human who has lost all their hair and has been locked in a cave for years, their body completely devoid of melanin.

"Boom--"

"Boom!"

"Da da!!"

Cannons roared, bullets flew, and all sorts of Nen techniques slammed forward.

The monster that charged forward had already been smashed into a pile of corpses.

The ground was covered with brown monster blood, almost mingled with their bodily fluids. However, they were not afraid at all and had no concept of death. They just kept surging outwards!

Even though the Hunters hadn't stopped killing, they were still somewhat terrified.

Putting aside the question of why such living monsters would still exist in these millennia-old Ruins...

Just the thought of these monsters in front of us, their suicidal attacks utterly devoid of fear of death, is enough to send chills down one's spine.

Human strength has its limits.

But this group of monsters before us seems endless...

Netero, King, and Knov, among others, have already made their move...

In mid-air, each flash of golden light disappeared in an instant.

Then, dozens of monsters' bodies were suddenly shattered. Netero remained calm and expressionless, simply maintaining the motion of gently waving his palm forward.

Jin raised his finger forward, as if in the shape of a pistol.

One after another, two-colored Nen bullets were launched forward from his fingertips. After arriving in front of him in an irregular manner, they suddenly collided together and exploded with a loud "bang".

As for Knov, his hands were enveloped in wisps of chaotic Nen.

He moved swiftly among isolated groups of monsters, using his "Scream" to easily slice them to death by exploiting spatial properties.

At the moment.

It has already turned into a brutal hot war!

They were faced with what seemed to be an endless stream of monsters emerging from the Passageway.

The Hunters all used their special Nen Abilities.

Meanwhile, the members of the Exorcism Team were also firing their guns desperately!

Even Kannari Rin was wielding a Nen Gun, desperately firing at the horde of ferocious monsters in front of her!

Ian stared intently at the monsters surging towards him like a horde of zombies. To be honest, he found them somewhat disgusting and extremely uncomfortable.

Looking at it up close, it was like watching a White Zetsu army of 100,000.

"Burning you all to a crisp wouldn't be so disgusting..."

He pointed forward.

The [Invincible Turret] launches another relentless assault!

"Boom boom boom--"

The massive cannon barrel continuously launched and fired!

The ground shook violently.

Each shell could destroy nearly ten monsters, no less efficient than Netero's killing rate!

With Ian's involvement...

Everyone instantly felt much less pressure.

"What a pity, Jin. Killing these monsters isn't as fun as the monsters in your Game Space. There's no feedback, so you can't level up!"

Ian chatted with Kim while launching his attack to block the monsters from pouring out.

At least.

At this point, the advantage lay with them, and the continuous stream of monsters was largely suppressed.

If they dare to show their face, they'll be instantly killed!

"You're right, they're far inferior to the monsters I created!"

Jin shouted as he attacked.

Unfortunately, even after this relentless barrage of firepower continued for nearly seven or eight minutes, the monsters were still not all killed and continued to pour out.

Even Ian sensed something was wrong.

He himself is alright.

However, the Hunters and Exorcism Team behind them had expended a great deal of energy clearing out those Malice Crystals.

The haste didn't result in a timely replenishment.

At this moment, facing the endless tide of monsters, they are likely about to collapse!

"I... I can't go on, hold them off for me for a bit!"

One of the Hunters' legs went weak, and he quickly spoke to his teammate beside him.

His Nen was almost completely depleted.

His teammates suddenly faced an increase in the number of monsters, putting them under immense pressure. Fortunately, a captain from the Exorcism Team noticed this and immediately provided fire support, saying in a deep voice.

"Come this way, don't fight alone anymore!"

The long and relentless battles forged a deep bond of camaraderie between the Hunters and the Exorcism Team.

But.

This Hunter's exhaustion was just the beginning.

Soon, like dominoes, more and more warriors Nen.

Jin noticed this scene and his expression became somewhat serious.

"Ian, the others are starting to struggle..."

Upon hearing his words, Ian glanced at the group of people around him who were already showing signs of extreme exhaustion, frowned slightly, and then quickly relaxed his head.

"Don't worry, since these people had the courage to come in, we certainly won't let them die here in vain."

"Otherwise, wouldn't that be far too tragic?"

The [Invincible Turret] has been continuously attacking, and its barrels are already extremely hot!

Ian's heart skipped a beat.

Come out!

Toy Soldier Corps!

Soon, nearly a thousand Toy Soldiers appeared on the field, and as soon as they landed, they received Ian's orders.

"Go help humanity and destroy those monsters!"

"Order received!"

Like the most loyal soldiers, they quickly began to provide support to the surrounding Hunters and Exorcism Team.

The Toy Soldiers' cannons are quite powerful.

One Hunter felt he was about to give up; the ferocious monster grinned and was about to bite his neck.

"Boom!"

Below, a Toy Soldiers raised his cannon and blasted the monster away. Although he didn't kill it, he quickly fired two more shots! Then he immediately started firing at monsters in other directions, showing amazing combat awareness.

"I'm alright?"

The Hunter opened his eyes in horror, and finding himself unharmed, he was extremely Gratitude!

"Thank... thank you!"

"You're welcome, soldier!"

The Toy Soldiers actually answered.

"Forehead..."

The Hunter was somewhat surprised and said nothing more.

However, his gaze still fell on the boy in the distance; they both knew that these Toy Soldiers belonged to the other.

As the fighting between the two sides intensified.

This scene also occurred within the Exorcism Team.

Toy Soldiers have joined the battlefield.

The battle of attack and defense that had been raging in the pitch-black Passageway was now back on track.

But.

Soon, under everyone's watchful eyes, the monster seemed to begin to retreat.

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally... finally they're gone..."

"Destroyed? Don't be too happy! This Ruins isn't so easy to deal with... Don't forget that terrifying fluctuation of Nen from before..."

As the crowd was discussing, one of them remained relatively calm and quickly spoke up.

And at this very moment.

The eerie green flames that had never gone out during the previous battles seemed to be burning even brighter than before.

Netero, who had been calm and collected in the middle of the group, suddenly focused his gaze, his aged eyes becoming serious.

Not only him, but Jin, who was standing next to him, also narrowed his eyes.

Those amber-like eyes stared intently ahead as he spoke in a low, solemn voice.

"Hey, Ian... that guy looks like he's coming."

Ian first glanced at everyone on the field, then nodded after confirming that he had the [Disaster-Repelling Stickers ] on his body.

"Understood, that aura is very close now..."

"This eerie feeling... this guy is definitely not human..."

On the field.

Everyone noticed the change in the condition of the people who had been blocking the front of the battlefield.

Those who were slightly more perceptive sensed the approaching terrifying aura, and their expressions changed slightly.

Kannari Rin was panting heavily, her pretty eyes fixed on Netero and the others' actions.

He had just shown a puzzled expression.

Suddenly, upon coming into contact with a certain aura, his expression changed drastically, revealing a look of horror. His eyes widened as he stared in terror into the doorway.

"Gulp..."

She couldn't help but swallow.

"That momentum..."

Around.

The lights that were originally scattered around for illumination seemed to be flickering slightly, as if they were not receiving a good signal.

It reflected the solemn expressions on the faces of everyone present.

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

Gradually.

Deep within that gate, on the winding path illuminated by eerie green flames, a heavy, slow footstep echoed from afar.

This moment.

Everyone present stopped what they were doing, staring intently at the gate as if facing a formidable enemy.

Ian took a deep breath and gathered the Toy Soldiers around himself, forming a dense defensive line.

Finally.

A gaunt figure, as black as a withered corpse, slowly appeared at the entrance.

The moment they saw him, everyone present changed their expressions instantly!

Under their "frozen" gaze.

The other party is like a blazing sun walking through the world!

It seemed oblivious to everyone present.

He walked very slowly, even somewhat unsteadily.

However, every step it took seemed to tread on the hearts of everyone.

As he approached, the immense Nen gathered within him, as vast as the sun, slowly filled the arena, almost causing every Nen user to collapse.

It opened its mouth...

He made strange sounds.

"Modern humans... Kings from the past, receive your audience..."

Behind it.

Countless hideous monsters lay prostrate, their previous terrifying and ferocious appearance completely gone, resembling the most loyal servants.

Ian remained silent, glancing at Kim beside him.

Having eaten the [Translation Konjac], he could understand what the other person was saying. Looking at Jin's bewildered expression, he immediately realized that the other person didn't understand what the monster was saying at all.

He gathered his Nen in his hand, and in the next moment, several ordinary sticky rice cakes appeared in his palm. He handed them to Jin and gestured for him to share them with Netero.

"Eat it."

Jin was originally on guard against the monsters that had come.

He knew the other party was probably speaking the language of the Gandor Dynasty, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy. This monster... really lived from that era... that's outrageous!

Just then, Ian's voice came from beside him.

The monster seemed to have noticed Ian's movements.

He tilted his head, and a hint of amusement seemed to appear in his cold, cloudy eyes.

They didn't move, they just watched quietly.

Trusting Ian, Kim kept a wary eye on him while chewing and eating the sticky rice cake, then shared it with Netero.

"Interesting... humans..."

This time, he heard what the monster said.

Then, he saw the monster slowly raise its withered hand towards Jin, its voice hoarse.

"Is this item, imbued with Nen, a product of one's own will mixed into the food...?"

"Laugh!"

The next moment.

The Translation Konjac in Jin's hand vanished as if by teleportation, appearing suddenly in the other person's withered palm.

Seeing this scene...

Everyone present was shocked!
