You... have angered me!
"Boom--"
A violent explosion filled the arena, and a fierce flame continued to burn across the field.
The battle escalated rapidly from the very first engagement!
"You think you can kill me with the abilities of a mere mortal...?"
The ground collapsed in a semi-circular arc, and the emaciated corpse was brutally suppressed by the giant golden hand and the seven-colored rabbit paw, with raging flames burning above its body.
But he seemed unaffected and stubbornly persevered.
"Crunch crunch--"
Its charred body emitted a strange crackling sound, clearly indicating that the flames had affected it.
However, it didn't have much of an impact on him.
He stood up, supporting himself with one hand on the ground and with the other hand holding a dark, arc-shaped light shield. This dark arc shield withstood the scorching heat of the explosion and the attacks from Netero and Jin.
The two men's expressions changed, and disbelief filled their eyes.
That attack just now.
Both of them seized the moment when Ian suppressed his opponent, and unleashed a strike with almost 90% of their Nen power.
Even so.
It was perfectly blocked by the opponent!
"This guy's defenses are way too strong!"
Until he stood up.
"Snap!"
The flames gradually died down, and the emaciated corpse suddenly snapped its head back upright.
His dark eyes stared coldly at Netero, Ian, and King.
"Utmost resistance, just die!"
He reached out his hand again, extended it towards the gold, and squeezed it hard!
"Um?"
"Failed again..."
A look of astonishment appeared on King Gondor IV's charred, withered face.
Once or twice.
His abilities failed to activate one after another.
He has confirmed that someone capable on the other side is interfering with him.
His golden eyes were serious.
He carefully observed the other person's movements and touched the [Disaster-Repelling Sticker] that was already affixed to his abdomen.
He knew that the other party had just tried to attack him.
"It must be Ian's prop that worked," he quickly said in a deep voice.
"President, Ian, stay away from this guy..."
"At least... fifty... no, within a thirty-meter radius, they could probably easily take our lives..."
"The attack might be an invisible thought, or it might employ some kind of spatial teleportation ability. In any case, we must be vigilant!"
Hearing Jin's assessment.
Both Ian and Netero felt a chill in their hearts.
They trusted Kim's judgment.
They were even more troubled by the monster's abilities.
Ian, in particular, felt a wave of fear wash over him.
Fortunately, he had the foresight to put on a "Disaster-Repelling Sticker" beforehand; otherwise, he could easily have been killed on sight!
"That damned guy!"
The thought of this made Ian furious!
He slammed a powerful punch into the opponent's Cursed Doll.
"Bang!"
A fist with powerful, penetrating force slammed heavily onto the doll.
But.
King Gondor IV, however, seemed completely unaffected.
A barely perceptible layer of dark Nen tightly enveloped his emaciated body. He shifted his gaze to Ian and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Curses? I've seen them all before. They're just the tricks of rats hiding in the gutter!"
"How could such underhanded tricks possibly work on me!?"
Upon hearing this, Ian's face darkened.
Goodness...
They're insulting me indirectly!
He's the kind of person who holds grudges... He'll settle a score on the spot if he has one!
"Everyone, go help the others destroy the monsters on the scene!"
Ian then gave orders to the Toy Soldiers in front of him.
Only after seeing them disperse to help the other Hunters hunt down the pale-skinned monster did he step forward.
His aura slowly rose!
"Hey, Ian, ignore this guy..." Kim noticed Ian's unusual behavior, his eyes widening slightly, and quickly reached out to stop him, reminding him.
Ian brushed aside the other person's hand that was trying to stop him and said coldly.
"Jin, Nizou, he called me a rat! I hate rats more than anything in my life!"
"Just watch whether I teach him a lesson or not!"
Kim looked anxious, fearing that Ian would lose his temper.
Not far away.
A mocking expression appeared on the gaunt, desiccated face of King Gondor IV in a hoarse voice.
"It seems... our little mouse is angry..."
"What a tragedy for mortals..."
Upon hearing this...
Jin's expression changed, and when he looked at Ian, the black swastika on Ian's forehead deepened, and he could no longer suppress his anger!
"Invincible Turret, fire!!"
"Fire!!"
"Fire...!
Inside the caves of the Ruins.
Ian's angry shouts echoed.
Everyone present heard the roar and, forgetting their battle with the monster, immediately turned to look.
Kannari Rin fired her Nen Gun continuously, tearing the monster in front of her to shreds. Hearing the shouts, she turned her head curiously to look.
Who made that brat angry?
Located at the back of the group.
The Steel Behemoth, lying prone on the ground, had its radar spinning rapidly. Then it slowly turned its cannons around, ceasing to support the group in bombarding the monster.
The cannon barrel was preheated again, and then... full firepower was unleashed!
"Boom--"
"Boom--"
"Boom--"
The [Invincible Turret] truly can unleash unlimited firepower and relentless attacks!
As long as Ian has locked onto the enemy.
That's a fair statement.
It's like being cursed with the constant threat of being shelled.
Unless it's like King or Knov's ability to hide in another dimensional space.
Otherwise, once locked on, no matter where Ian goes, he'll fight if he says so!
The continuous barrage of shells formed a line of fire in the air, streaking across the low sky and precisely targeting the single objective.
The mummified head of King Gondor IV slowly rose, his palms outstretched.
Is this the method of modern humans?
"You're so crude in using your Nen (spirit), yet you dare to dream of exploring another kind of power? Blind and... laughable!"
A layer of black light appeared in front of his palm, forming a pitch-black shield that enveloped him.
"Boom!!"
The continuous barrage of shells bombarded the black light shield, yet it didn't even cause a ripple.
Kim and Netero looked visibly serious upon seeing this.
They had a general idea of the power of these shells.
It was precisely because of this that they were able to judge the terrifying defensive power of the opponent's black light, and a shadow fell over their hearts.
If you can't even break through the opponent's defenses, how can you talk about defeating them?
"Clang... clang..."
Metal shell casings fell to the ground one after another, and soon a thick layer of them was piled up.
King Gondor IV's lips involuntarily curled into a smile.
This king, resurrected from Ancient Ruins, seems to find the methods employed by modern humans laughable.
"Interesting... interesting... such dazzling flames, visually speaking, have certainly given this king a beautiful sight..."
King Gondor IV looked at the flames that were constantly exploding in front of him, a smile playing on his lips, and said calmly.
Then.
The time lasted for one minute, two minutes... five minutes...
The pile of metal shell casings on the ground was almost burying him.
King Gondor IV frowned.
It's not over yet!?
On the surrounding grounds.
The Hunters have almost wiped out the frenzied monsters.
At this moment, the Exorcism Team and the Hunters worked together to suppress the monster back inside the gate. While catching their breath, they also looked towards King Gondor IV.
"It's been almost ten minutes... the bombardment has been going on and on..."
"Incredible! Did that brat Ian really do all this?"
"What exactly is his ability? Even Conjuration couldn't possibly have such an inexhaustible Nen..."
"Look closely, that weapon isn't used by consuming Nen!"
"However, this monster is really strong; it doesn't seem to be showing any signs of fatigue yet!"
"Even Netero couldn't defeat them; we must find a way to defeat them together!"
While the monster retreated back inside the gate.
The Exorcism Team immediately joined in, pointing their Nen Guns at King Gondor IV and launching an attack!
Although the power of Nen Gun is less than that of an artillery shell.
However, more than a hundred people launched an attack.
The sudden influx of intense fire caused the black light shield to change, creating continuous ripples.
But at the same time, it also angered King Gondor IV.
"What foolish mortals..."
He casually raised his hand and clenched it.
"Hey, back up immediately!" Jin's warning came too late.
Ten Exorcism Team were firing slightly ahead suddenly clutched their chests, blood gushing from their mouths, and collapsed to the ground before the horrified eyes of the crowd.
