The Arrogant Scythe of Judgment

I heard footsteps approaching.

Xikeli was taken aback, his gaze involuntarily drifting towards the five members of the Scythe of Judgment, his expression one of surprise.

The first thing that catches the eye is a yellow-haired man with a buzz cut and a tongue stud, covered in Skull Markings, and next to him Bald Monk with a scarlet, eerie Seal Inscriptions on his forehead and covered in beads.

The remaining three were also dressed extravagantly.

These people have a unique and eye-catching appearance, and they exude an aura that keeps strangers at bay, which is extremely intimidating.

Wilson, the leader of the Exorcism Xie Group, frowned and looked behind him.

They didn't know what the team that had been sent with them was doing, but they had a guess in their minds that they were most likely... members of some Special Forces.

"Just now... you said the problem with the Ruins was solved, but where did the resurrected Ancient Corpses go?"

The monk spoke without any hesitation.

His eyes slowly opened, revealing an eerie, scarlet glow.

When asked this question, Xikeli froze, then seemed to lose his soul, and the Nen Gun in his hand clattered to the ground.

"The Ruins have been sealed by Ian and the woman who was resurrected Ruins. The monsters that were resurrected inside escaped a day ago, and I don't know..."

Wilson's expression changed when he noticed that Xikeli seemed to be under control.

"Da da!"

A burst of bullets was fired directly at the monk's feet as a warning, sending dust and smoke flying everywhere.

"Stop right now! What are you doing to our people!" Wilson's face was tense, his gaze icy as he stared at the monk, speaking each word with a chilling tone.

In any case, the Exorcism Team is a subordinate organization of the Exorcism Xie Group.

His own men were subjected to such control methods right in front of him; the other party was completely ignoring him, the leader of the group, as if he were invisible!

A giant bear of Nen enveloped him, roaring menacingly as if it were about to attack its enemies at any moment.

The people behind them also raised their Nen Guns, their expressions icy.

Since they're not in the same department.

They're not afraid to fall out with the other party if they don't give them face!

"Shh... Can't you see the Evil Mage is about to ask? Don't waste time!"

"Honestly, you guys couldn't even keep an eye on people, and this monster got away. You're all useless!"

Behind the monk, the man with the buzz cut and tongue piercing stepped forward, raised a finger with a skull tattoo to his lips, and hissed.

His unrestrained gaze swept over everyone present.

Even... when looking at some of the female team members, his gaze lingered on their slender figures, completely disregarding everyone else present.

"You're asking for it!"

As soon as Wilson finished speaking, he struck with Thunder. The giant bear of Nen swung its massive claws, slashing directly at the Yellow-haired Buzz-cut Man with a Tongue Piercing from several meters away.

Faced with such an attack, the man with the tongue piercing grinned, a mocking expression on his skull-tattooed face.

"Clang!"

Like a metallic clang echoing through the arena, the man with the tongue piercing raised his arm, his massive skeletal arms, radiating Nen, protecting him and easily blocking Wilson's attack.

"Hey, you bunch of inferior products who have Nen power but haven't even properly developed your Nen Abilities, do you really think you can pose a threat to us?!"

The man with the tongue piercing sneered, then casually waved his hand.

"Whoosh!"

The next moment.

A dark shadow suddenly flashed past him, and a terrifying, Giant Black Skeleton appeared behind Wilson.

A black skull topped with a Bone Crown.

A pair of terrifying bony arms, along with the phantom of a giant bear, tightly embraced Wilson from behind!

In an instant.

A cracking, splintering sound came from the field.

Wilson's face was grim as he struggled to resist. If he failed, he feared he would be crushed by the giant skeleton in an instant!

"Team Leader Wilson!"

"Let go of the team leader!"

A group of members of the Nen squad, some with guns at their sides, and several others taking out strange Nen Ability items from their backpacks, stared intently at the man with the tongue piercing.

"That's enough, stop it, Flash Ghost, don't make things worse!"

At this moment.

A man, completely concealed by a black cloak, spoke in a hoarse voice from the group of male characters.

"Cut!"

"I'll let you off this time, but if you try to lay a hand on me again, I advise you to be careful. You won't always be so lucky to escape with your life!"

The man with the tongue piercing sneered disdainfully, waved his hand, and the giant black skull slowly disappeared. Wilson was finally able to catch his breath, staring at the other man in horror.

He's a veteran who's seen it all before!

However, faced with the attack from that pitch-black skeleton, they were barely able to react before being completely subdued.

These guys are truly amazing!

At this time.

The monk known as the Evil Mage also spoke slowly and calmly.

"What that guy said wasn't a lie. It seems something unexpected has happened here; the Ancient Corpse we're looking for has gotten lost."

"Go find Kannari Rin; she's in charge here and should know what's going on."

"No need to waste time..."

After he finished speaking, he ignored the Flash Ghost and continued walking forward on his own.

The other four quickly followed him.

This time.

The members of the Imperial Guard learned their lesson and made way for these formidable individuals.

No one stopped them.

He hurriedly said this after they left.

"Team Leader Wilson, are you alright?"

"Hey, Xikeli, wake up!"

Wilson glanced at Xikeli, who had just regained consciousness, and sighed.

"Looks like the higher-ups sent some troublemakers this time. Tell me, Xikeli, what exactly happened here?"

"We need more detailed information. What's the deal with that Ian and the woman who sealed this Ruins? Also, do the resurrected monsters really exist? Are you sure it's not just a collective hallucination?"

Clearly, Xikeli remembered being hypnotized and forced to answer the monk's message, and his expression turned somewhat grim.

Upon hearing Wilson's words, he immediately recounted to them what he knew about what had happened there.

Not long after.

The group of five, Scythe of Judgment, arrived at the numerous tents outside the Ruins.

At this very moment.

After Kannari Rin Netero and her group left the Ruins, many Hunters had already departed.

They all have their own tasks to do and cannot spend all their time here.

Meanwhile, Kannari Rin listened quietly to Netero's story, her pretty face showing a somewhat unpleasant expression. She simply didn't know whether she should believe the information Netero was giving her.

This Gandor Dynasty... once had nearly 400,000 Nen users...

This news alone, once it gets out, will probably shake the top management of V5!

And.

That guy named Sashado, whom they had already encountered, had such immense true power—tearing mountains apart and blocking rivers. Was that really something a human could do?

It sounds like... it's describing the power of God.

To the point that, at this moment, Kannari Rin was even struggling with how to include this information in the report and submit it.

And just then...

A commotion arose outside, Kannari Rin and Netero stopped their discussion, frowning.

What happened?

They arrived outside the tent and soon saw the five members of the Scythe of Judgment and the members of the Exorcism Xie Group hanging behind them.

When she saw who it was, Kannari Rin was startled.

Unexpectedly... V5 actually dispatched this Special Forces!

Obviously.

Kannari Rin at least knew a little about the identities of the group of people in front of her.

"Hey, you're Kannari Rin? I heard there was a resurrected Ancient Corpse here, but because of your stupidity, it got lost!?"

The man with the tongue piercing revealed a mocking smile, freely appraising Kannari Rin's body, and sneered.

"Do you realize that your actions will greatly disappoint Minister Netani's son, Bono Netani?"

Upon hearing the other person's words, Kannari Rin broke out in a cold sweat.

This matter... somehow reached Bono's ears.

She had heard it from her brother.

Bono Netani, the son of a cabinet minister in a V5 member country, is young but has already taken on the role of head of the Magical Beast Anomaly Affairs Processing Center.

Although its main jurisdiction covers Magical Beast -related matters globally.

In reality, the other party, by leveraging his father's power, extended his reach far and wide, even controlling many combat departments and special Nen Tool management agencies.

Rumor has it that he is a guy with a terrible personality.

Her expression turned somewhat unpleasant, and she was just about to offer an explanation.

The man at the back of the group, whose body was completely hidden in a black cloak, noticed the old man's presence in the arena.

"I never expected to see Netero here..."
