You Dare Glare at Me? Have a Blast First!
On the field.
After the violent impact.
Smoke and dust filled the entire field.
The moment the mummified monster saw Netero make his move, a hint of appreciation appeared in its almost pitch-black eyes, and it rasped as it spoke.
"An extraordinary mortal..."
Even during my reign, exceptionally strong individuals like you were extremely rare!
"However, your body will eventually decay. By joining the Gandor Kingdom, I will grant you a new life..."
Upon hearing the other person's words, Netero remained silent.
He simply stared intently at the other person.
The enemy... is troublesome...
In that instant, the opponent's Nen attack was like a heavy hammer. The two sides had only exchanged blows once, yet they could feel the immense power of the psychic energy, as vast as an abyss.
Almost... unshakeable!
Seeing Netero's silence.
The other person seemed to understand Netero's thoughts; a hint of nostalgia flashed in their eyes as they spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Mortals cannot comprehend the greatness of life..."
Similarly, you cannot comprehend the cruelty of time...
"At least until now, you don't understand what a great favor I've bestowed upon you is. If you give up this opportunity, all that awaits you is to be with decay..."
Upon hearing his words, Netero smiled and said in a cheerful tone.
"When people get old, isn't it just a matter of aging and dying...?"
"If I could have a duel with a powerful enemy like you before I die, it would be a rather interesting way to say goodbye to this world."
"I will only feel Gratitude!"
Even at the very end of my life, I can still challenge a monster with terrifying strength like you as a challenger!
The monster looked wistful, as if reminiscing about something, and said in a hoarse voice.
"Yeah..."
"What an upright martial artist..."
What a magnanimous idea!
"Unfortunately... I once thought the same thing..."
"But now, I have come to realize that this is nothing more than a compromise with fate."
The mummified monster didn't rush to refute Netero's words.
Instead, he seemed like a frail old man, engaging in a debate about life with Netero, who was also quite old.
At this moment.
"I'm sorry, but I can't agree. In your current state, do you consider this living?"
Netero looked at the other person, narrowed his eyes, and asked calmly.
The mummified monster glanced down at its charred, withered arm, then moved its gaze to its hands, feet, and torso before speaking in a hoarse voice.
"Living... is never easy..."
"The ruler did not grant us perfect physiques."
"None of these things matter to me; what matters is living..."
Even if you crawl out of hell, you must strive to live, to breathe the air of this world again, and to feel its warmth.
Netero lowered his eyes and spoke softly.
"Perhaps. If this is your understanding of life, I may not agree, but I won't rashly oppose it..."
"However, if one were to attempt to reignite the chaos of the modern world with a dynasty that has long since decayed..."
"Then I will do everything in my power to stop your ridiculous idea..."
"Those who have passed away, may they rest peacefully here..."
Hearing what Netero said.
The charred, mummified corpse's expression changed slightly, as if it had been provoked by a certain word. Its eyes gradually turned cold, and it spoke in a hoarse voice.
"To rest here forever...?"
"Do you know the magnificent and tragic price I paid for this revival?"
"How dare you, a mere mortal, presume to understand me with your laughable limited perspective?"
"Let me show you the subjects who have sacrificed themselves for my eternal life..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved.
The next moment.
Behind him, countless pale, grotesque monsters with sticky, slimy skin seemed to receive a command and surged out once again like released hounds!
It's practically... like endless!
The monster's withered face contorted with cruelty and savagery, its dark eyes fixed on the group before it, and it spoke in a hoarse voice.
Kill them!
Together we will restore the glory of the Gandor Dynasty!
The Hunters behind Netero, including the Exorcism Team, paled as they watched the monsters, even more numerous than before, surge forward.
Netero remained calm, already prepared for battle.
The battle is about to begin, and it has started again!
At that moment, Ian quickly called out to Kim and Netero.
"Hey Kim, Chairman, stick that sticker I gave you on your stomachs!"
"Jin, just remove your protective gear for now, trust me!"
Ian finished speaking without hesitation.
Taking advantage of the monster's focus on Netero, he quickly raised his [Cursed Camera] and snapped a picture of the monster!
"Snap!"
The other person didn't dodge, but his expression changed drastically the instant Ian took a picture of him!
"The power of a curse!?"
After saying that.
Without the slightest hesitation, he raised his palm and made a grasping motion towards Ian in the air!
But!
The power that was originally his suddenly failed him at this moment...
The charred, mummified corpse's expression changed slightly.
[The 330,000-Part Requiem Offering Ritual] is a unique Nen Ability of King Gondor IV.
Or rather...
In the former Gandor Dynasty.
Nen is not referred to as Nen Ability, but rather as Nen.
Mind and will are the foundation of everything.
That period thousands of years ago.
There were far more people with Nen, or Nen user, than there are now, because ordinary humans do not live peacefully and need to defend themselves against dark enemies.
Based on this, mastering Nen is something that every ordinary person must do!
At that time, the Gandor Dynasty practiced a monarchical system similar to that of Egypt.
However, there exists a supernatural power called "the Nen".
Once an ordinary person awakens, the entire family's rank will be elevated!
Those who cannot awaken their Nen can only become slaves at the bottom.
This was a tacit understanding and consensus reached by the entire kingdom at that time.
And King Gondor IV.
A born holy king.
As the legitimate son of the Gandor Kingdom, he was born with Nen far exceeding that of ordinary people, and was destined to lead the Gandor Dynasty to unification.
"It failed..."
King Gondor IV's eyes showed shock, unable to believe that he could not control a mere mortal.
Meanwhile...
Ian's expression also changed slightly. Retrieving the other party's Cursed Doll from the [Cursed Camera] consumed nearly 90% of his Nen, which was astonishing!
Adding to his previous expenditure, his Nen was almost completely depleted!
"This guy... is really terrifying..."
He felt weak in his limbs, but he had no choice; he had to launch an attack as soon as possible!
Unfortunately, the [Cursed Camera] cannot directly kill enemies!
"Click--"
However, he did not hesitate at all.
He grabbed the head of King Gondor IV's strange doll and snapped it off!
When you try to break the doll, there is a strong resistance.
Indeed, this doll, to some extent, reflected the terrifying strength of the other party's body.
"Crack!"
On the field, everyone's expressions were solemn as they dealt with the countless ferocious monsters that attacked again!
But then they suddenly saw the mummified corpse, which was sitting behind the monster directing operations, suddenly make a sharp 90-degree turn in the neck!
Everyone's faces lit up with joy.
Even Netero and King stared in astonishment at this scene.
Kannari Rin Nen Gun at King Gondor IV, was also startled by this scene!
The monster... is dead!?
"This is...?"
King Gondor IV, his head tilted to the side, spoke blankly, his perspective strangely distorted and inverted.
He realized that his neck was broken...
However, given his current desiccated state, this method couldn't possibly harm him; it only gave him a chilling feeling.
Those cold eyes instantly fixed on Ian.
"It was him... who cursed me..."
Being stared at by the other party, Ian felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up, and his eyes narrowed.
"Jin, quickly team up with the president and take action against this guy! I'll provide backup!"
He didn't hesitate after he finished speaking.
He pulled out dozens of "Crystal Bombs " from his pocket and threw them forcefully at his opponent!
Dare to glare at me?
Let me just give you a little something to show off!!
Following Ian's prompting, Kim and Netero launched their attack without hesitation, not even bothering to consider how the other's neck had snapped out of thin air!
Both players attacked at an extremely fast pace.
Even if they were surrounded by ferocious monsters, nothing could stop them!
"Boom--"
"Boom--"
The golden, segmented giant hand and the rainbow-colored rabbit paw phantoms flashed through the air in an instant, slamming King Gondor IV heavily into the ground!
However, the two instantly and tacitly dodged to the sides, their bodies enveloped in Nen!
Immediately afterwards, Ian's Crystal Bomb fell!
Dozens of them exploded at the same time!
"Boom--"
The power of a single Crystal Bomb far exceeds that of artillery fire!
The explosion of these dozens of objects was like a sun rising in the dark cave, the intense heat and crimson flames even scorching and blasting the countless monsters inside the ancient gate to smithereens!
