An Army Came to Meet Them... Steel Shell's Wrath! (3,000-word chapter)

Flash Ghost suffered the greatest humiliation of his life!

He... was actually considered gay?

Unable to contain his rage any longer, he decided to give this fool who dared to defy him the most painful death imaginable!

"Boom--"

He raised his hand, which was covered in skull tattoos, and in the next instant, a huge skeletal hand suddenly appeared and grabbed at the middle-aged man!

"Hey, Flash Ghost!"

The other members of the Scythe of Judgment sighed and rubbed their foreheads when they saw this.

No matter what, it would be troublesome to display Nen Abilities so freely in front of so many ordinary people and then try to cover it up afterwards!

But at this moment, Flash Ghost wouldn't care about any of that!

He was determined to make this middle-aged photographer in front of him die a horrible death!

"Then... what's up with that guy?!"

"What a huge skeleton! Are they filming a movie?"

"Could they really have superpowers?!"

This sudden scene instantly caused a huge uproar among the surrounding crowd, who all stared in horror at the horrifying sight before them!

The flow of traffic on the street seemed to have been paused.

Passersby stared wide-eyed, some frightened and involuntarily backed away, while others quickly raised their phones to call the police station, and some with cameras immediately loaded film, trying to capture this horrifying scene!

Inside the vintage car, an old man paused in his smoking, choked on his cigarette, and stared wide-eyed.

"Ahem... what's up with that blond guy!?"

"Ah!"

The middle-aged photographer's wig fell off his head as the giant skeletal hand gripped his head, and his face turned deathly pale!

"You scum, if you've got the guts, repeat what you said before!"

Flash Ghost stared at his opponent with a crazed, bloodthirsty gaze, a cold smile playing on his lips.

He wanted to... crush the opponent alive!!

"Ah! You... you can't lay a hand on me! This is Ejin City! What you're doing is a crime!... the Evil's Nemesis will come to punish you!"

"Ah!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he let out a scream.

At this moment, the middle-aged photographer was already feeling the pain. He never expected that he would provoke such a terrifying creature, and could only shout in fear.

However, soon after, due to internal organ damage, blood began to spill from the corner of his mouth, and his face turned pale.

"Evil's Nemesis?"

Flash Ghost grinned, as if he had heard the funniest joke of the century, and burst into laughter.

"I thought you were going to say something, but I didn't expect... you're just a fool. You actually believe this kind of childish nonsense? Evil... nemesis, where is it? If such a thing exists, let it be the first to punish me!"

Just as he finished speaking...

He clenched his fist tightly, determined to crush the other person.

Just then!

"Crack!"

A loud sonic boom resounded throughout the area!

A dark shadow flashed, and the bony hand that had been gripping the middle-aged photographer seemed to be struck with a severe whip. The bony hand shattered, giving the photographer a brief moment of respite before he fell from its grasp.

"What!?"

The five members of the Scythe of Judgment team all noticed this scene, their eyes narrowed, and they became more vigilant!

Their gazes shifted towards the bone palm, and even Flash Ghost frowned, looking at a hole in the ground from which the dark figure had suddenly emerged!

They looked closely.

Suddenly, a vine with a strange, large eye appeared, its eerie body twisting and turning like a snake, its body raised and staring intently at them.

"Strange, what is this!?"

They had just arrived in Ejin City and knew nothing about the "Justice Rope".

But.

The other residents of Ejin City had long since grown accustomed to the presence of these "Justice Rope," which maintained order in the city and allowed them to live safe lives.

Therefore, when they saw them appear, the people around breathed a sigh of relief and were very excited.

"A crime fighter!"

"It's finally here!"

"These guys don't look like good people!"

"Come on, come on, let's see how these criminals were arrested!"

"Damn it! They dared to start a fight in the street! They have absolutely no respect for the order of Ejin City!"

"Go, Evil's Nemesis!"

At this moment, the surrounding crowd stopped panicking and straightened their backs. Some even pushed their way forward, holding up their cameras, hoping to capture the exciting moment when the "Evil's Nemesis" subdued the criminal. Such a scene was rare, and newspapers would usually pay a high price to buy it!

Seeing this scene...

The Evil Mage chanting scriptures, the Siming shrouded in a black robe, the Golden Gun wielding a small golden gun, and Yuliya carrying a slender demonic sword on her back all had slight changes in expression.

Even some people, including Flash Ghost, found it difficult to adapt.

In the past, whenever they made a move, the ordinary people would scatter and flee at the sight of the intense impact of their Nen Abilities.

At the very least, we should stay far away from them.

Unlike now, the people of Ejin City are not only unafraid, but also curious and eager to try, and they have slowly gathered around.

It was like... treating them like circuses...

Could it be...?

Just because of this vine monster in front of me?

However, despite their arrogant nature, they are still Special Forces under the V5 organization, and it's impossible for them to indiscriminately slaughter the surrounding civilians.

At this moment, Flash Ghost's eyes turned icy as he looked at the crowd that was getting closer and closer, then glanced at the strange vine and sneered.

"How laughable, these idiots, it seems they're relying on some Nen user's Nen Beast?"

"Evil's Nemesis?"

"Siming, this isn't my fault. They were the ones who exposed their Nen Beasts to the public first... That hidden Nen user violated V5's regulations for managing Nen users, so in principle, we have the right to deal with him!"

Upon hearing Flash Ghost's words, Siming remained silent for a moment before speaking in a hoarse voice.

"That's right, but there's no need to waste too much time here. Our current task is to catch that guy named Ian."

Flash Ghost nodded in response, a cold smile on his face, and clapped his hands.

"OK, OK, I'll handle it as soon as possible!"

"Give me a few minutes, and I'll find that cowardly fellow!"

He grinned maliciously.

"What a ridiculous guy! Daring to call himself the Evil's Nemesis? He really doesn't understand the difference between justice and evil; that's for us to decide!"

"A mere ordinary Nen user is courting death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he launched an attack directly at the "Justice Rope"!

The "Justice Rope" before them seemed to have hesitated to attack because it sensed that the other party was not easy to deal with.

"Sizzle sizzle!"

In the space, Flash Ghost suddenly clenched his fist.

A large number of pale skeletons appeared out of thin air, forming a pair of bone arms and hands several meters long. With great force, they slammed heavily onto the "Justice Rope"!

Those around who witnessed this scene stared wide-eyed.

The "Justice Rope" narrowed its large eye slightly, and its twisted vine body instantly began to move in a serpentine pattern.

"Bang!"

A deep crater was smashed into the street, and flying rubble struck the middle-aged photographer who was lying on the ground, causing him to let out a miserable scream.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

In an instant, the "Justice Rope" flashed across the ground like a dark snake before rushing to the Flash Ghost at incredible speed!

Furthermore, under the opponent's "surprised" gaze, her body instantly lengthened, and her speed increased dramatically again, wrapping around the opponent's arms and neck from her ankles!

Like a python coiling around one's body!

However, at this moment, a cold smile appeared on Flash Ghost's lips.

"You thought you'd caught me, but actually... I've caught you!"

The next second.

Behind him, a huge skeleton suddenly appeared, and then a huge bone hand reached out and grabbed the "Justice Rope" in an instant, spreading its arms and tearing it apart with force!

"Laugh--"

The "Justice Rope" was suddenly stretched very long, like a noodle!

However, the vine was quite resilient and did not break, though the large eye looked much more wilted.

Flash Ghost frowned.

The two enormous bone hands tried to tear him apart several times, but to his surprise, they failed. He was quite astonished, as he knew very well the strength of his own skeleton.

Fortunately, the bony hand gripped the other party tightly, as if straightening a snake, and was not worried that it would escape.

"This thing looks pretty sturdy!"

"However... it doesn't seem to be Nen Beast..."

"Hey, Siming, Evil Mage, have you guys spotted that guy?"

When Flash Ghost asked the two men a question, he noticed that they both frowned.

"Something feels... off..."

"Siming Darkness said hoarsely," the Evil Mage said slowly, his expression grave.

The earth began to tremble slightly.

The crowd around, who had initially witnessed the other party trampling on the "Justice Rope," also looked down at the ground in alarm.

Was there an earthquake!?

The ground was shaking, and dust was slowly rising!

It's as if a massive army is attacking!

Then...

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...

On the ground.

Suddenly, cracks appeared, and tendrils of "vines" emerged from them.

They stood upright side by side, like giant snakes, their bodies varying in thickness, but each one had a large eye at its tip, staring eerily at the Flash Ghost with a curious yet scrutinizing gaze.

However, they remained still and did not move.

The atmosphere on the field was extremely strange.

A bead of cold sweat trickled down the Flash Ghost's forehead.

What's going on?

The others also looked grave; they knew the real enemy had not yet appeared!

"Bang--"

Just then...

The ground shook again, revealing the hard asphalt road surface.

A vine, noticeably thicker than the other "Justice Rope" around it, with a diameter of nearly one meter, suddenly burst forth from the ground!

Just its enormous size.

Compared to other "Justice Rope," it has an extremely strong sense of oppression.

It held its large head high, as if the snake king were surveying its territory.

It knew from a young age that it was special, and its owner gave it a resounding name: Steel Shell.

At the same time.

The "Justice Rope," held firmly by the giant bone, drooped its large eyes listlessly, looking utterly exhausted and dejected.

Seeing this scene...

Unlike the surrounding "Justice Rope," the Steel Shell's single, large eye narrowed—it was enraged!
