Scythe of Judgment

One of the member states of V5.

In Wajana City, two airships set sail, heading towards the Gogar Kingdom, specifically the city of Gugurian!

And at this very moment.

No one knew what had happened.

On the airship.

A group of Nen users dressed in identical black uniforms were resting with their eyes closed. One of them, a burly man with a square face, spoke in a deep voice.

"The next operation concerns Commander Kanna's promotion, so everyone be on your toes!"

"Understood! Team Leader Wilson!!"

The team members below drew a line in unison.

After they finished speaking, they began to discuss it amongst themselves.

"By the way, team leader, I heard that this time the enemy is a resurrected being from four thousand years ago?"

"This is terrifying. I can't even imagine how powerful Nen user must have been back then to achieve something like this... Four thousand years is just too outrageous!"

"Do you think... it's possible that some tomb raider just happened to stumble into the Ruins, came back to life, and caused a misunderstanding?"

One of the team members, with a sudden burst of inspiration, spoke up. As soon as he finished speaking, he looked up and saw the angry looks from everyone. He quickly shrank back and gave an embarrassed laugh.

"I'm just guessing... hehe... just guessing..."

"Ahem... Kerwei, be serious!" The square-faced, tough man at the very front of the airship coughed lightly and said in a deep voice.

"The team leader for this expedition to the Gandor Ruins is Kannari Rin, so the information shouldn't be wrong!"

Upon hearing his words, the group members below erupted in uproar.

"What? It's Kannari Rin?"

"Hey... she's my goddess! If I could win over Team Leader Kannari Rin... hehe..."

"What sweet dreams are you having, Kayana!"

"Exactly, Kayana, she's Commander Kanna's sister, why would she be interested in a toad like you!?"

The team members under his command had a lively discussion.

The square-faced tough guy didn't stop it. Only he understood that this operation was very dangerous; otherwise, there wouldn't have been a need to send out another Special Forces.

Looking through the airship's window at another airship traveling alongside them, his expression turned slightly serious.

"Alright, everyone, adjust your mindset. Once we arrive at our destination, be sure to... proceed with caution!"

He said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing his words, the dozens of members of the Exorcism Xie Group could sense his seriousness and nodded in agreement, plunging the airship from its lively atmosphere into silence.

Meanwhile, on another Airship nearby.

There were only five people in total.

A man with a tongue piercing covered in Skull Markings, sporting a buzz cut and wearing beach clothes as if he were going on vacation, sat listlessly in his seat with a vacant look in his eyes.

A woman with a cold and aloof expression wore slim-fit jeans that revealed her long, slender legs and fair skin through the ripped jeans.

With a slender blade as tall as herself slung across her back, she leaned against the airship, her head tilted to the side as she calmly gazed at the scenery outside the window, lost in thought.

The remaining three.

A burly, blond man, whose physique was in no way inferior to Ron, who had once chased Ian and his Ron, constantly toyed with a Golden Gun in his hand.

In his large palm, the Golden Gun looked like a small toy.

The person was completely wrapped in a black robe, only lacking a scythe; otherwise, he would have resembled the Grim Reaper walking among men.

The last person was a monk.

He has a bald head, various dark red talismans engraved on his forehead, and a loose monk robe with many "swastikas" printed on it. He wears many strings of beads of various qualities, with his eyes closed and his expression calm.

"How utterly boring... Ancient people from four thousand years ago have been resurrected, and they send our Scythe of Judgment to deal with them because of such obviously absurd and false information. How laughable..."

Suddenly, the Yellow-haired Buzz-cut Man with a Tongue Piercing, who was leaning back in his seat, chuckled and said lazily.

"Flash Ghost, don't question your superiors' orders. You... just need to obey..."

Beside him, the burly man who was playing with the small golden gun didn't even raise his eyes, and spoke calmly.

"Hey, you guys don't actually believe this kind of thing, do you...?"

"Heh, if someone from four thousand years ago were really resurrected, could such a thing still be called human?" The blond, buzz-cut man's eyes narrowed slightly as he sneered.

"The intelligence report states that Netero of the Hunter Association also participated in the exploration mission. With such an experienced and powerful individual involved, they're unlikely to make a misjudgment. The intelligence is accurate, but we still don't know just how strong that enemy is..."

At this moment, the Bald Monk slowly opened his eyes, which were now bloodshot, and spoke in a clear voice.

"Actually, I'd much rather fight Netero..."

"Tch, Evil Mage, don't underestimate those veteran powerhouses. I'll bet you, if you dare to fight that old guy, I'll do anything to save your life. How about it, wanna bet?" The blond, buzz-cut man named Flash Ghost grinned and mocked.

The monk's eyes were calm, and he remained silent.

At this moment, the slender woman leaning against the wall of the airship, looking out the window, frowned slightly and said in a cold voice.

"A bunch of idiots, shut up..."

I heard her scolding.

The blond, buzz-cut man's eyes flashed coldly, and he said in a chilling voice.

"Yuliya, who are you calling stupid? Do you want to die?!"

"Bass!"

The slender Tachi was drawn out, flashing with a sharp edge. The woman's expression was indifferent as she glanced sideways at the other person and said coldly.

Shut up, or I'll chop you up!

"You...!!"

Flash Ghost's expression turned grim, and he prepared to make his move!

"Stop it, all of you. If you want to fight, wait until we get there..."

"Don't forget, we're still in the sky..."

A hoarse, aged voice came from the figure shrouded in black robes.

Hearing his words.

The group of people calmly restrained their urge to fight, exchanged a cold snort, and said no more.

At the same time.

Located in the Forests surrounding the distant city of Gugurian, beneath the Gandor Ruins.

"Boom--"

As Ian and his team continued their excavation...

With the Hunters idly waiting, the entire underground Ruins were finally revealed.

The ground level of the entire underground space.

It turned out to be a huge, seemingly cast-in-one, Black Disk, engraved with strange runes, and located at the intersection of each rune.

Instead, towering, jet -Black Pillars stood tall.

There are a total of thirty-two sticks on the field, and Ian and his team are preparing to dig up the thirty-third stick!

Beside the two, Aimina's body had solidified into a lifelike form as she walked across the field, ignoring the Hunters and keeping her eyes fixed on Ian and the others.

"Next, this is the last one..."

"I can clearly sense Eluna's presence. She needs to awaken when the thirty-third Xie Tool appears."

She looked at Ian and the other person and said.

Aimina understood.

The other party should be able to quickly transfer Eluna's offspring here through that door.

Ian stopped what he was doing, glanced at Kim, and then spoke.

"Okay, Jin, wait here for a moment, I'll bring Elina here first."

Without much hesitation.

Ian pulled out the pink Anywhere Door without paying attention to the others present, opened the door, and went inside.

We returned to the Sharku Manor.

It was just before dawn; it was already past midnight.

Unbeknownst to them, deep underground, they had been working tirelessly all night.

Ian expanded the "circle" outwards and soon discovered the location of Elina and Machi.

Raise your palm and gently touch your forehead with your fingertips.

The [Superpower Hat]'s teleportation ability activated quickly!

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, Ian appeared in Elina and Machi's room.

"Machi!"

Noticing someone suddenly appear in the room, Machi tensed up for a moment, then quickly relaxed. She had already realized it was Ian.

He gently patted Elina awake, who was fast asleep beside him.

"Elina, wake up..."

Elina woke up quickly, wearing a pink bunny pajama set. Her once pink hair was now jet black and drooping over her shoulders. She looked a little shy when she saw Ian.

"Elina, put this [Disaster-Repelling Sticker] on your belly button. Remember, do not remove it for the next 24 hours!"

After greeting the other party, Ian earnestly gave them some instructions.

Elina obediently followed Ian's instructions and did as he said.

Ian looked at Machi and said softly.

"Things should be resolved soon, don't worry, Elina will be fine. I need to take her to the Ruins, but I'll bring her back safely. Don't worry at home."

Hearing Ian's words, Machi nodded slightly, looking at him earnestly.

"Yes, I believe you, Ian."

Soon.

Ian reopened the [Anywhere Door], and this time, he brought Elina back to the Ruins.
