How Could a Child at a Monster's Side Be Ordinary?

In the sky.

It looked like monsters were fighting.

However, all of this was manipulated by Sashado.

The Rock Fist he created continuously attacked the Rock Palm, which was hundreds of meters in size.

Each impact was accompanied by what sounded like a thunderclap in the sky.

But for him, it was just a simple game; he wanted to see how long Netero could hold out.

Netero was enveloped in golden Nen.

But... even so, he couldn't withstand the enormous tremor. Blood kept gushing from the corner of his mouth. At the same time, he had to resist the impact of the tremor while desperately trying to break through the rock palm and escape.

"Boom--"

Even during the day, from the outside...

One could also see that the clenched giant hand was constantly flashing with dazzling golden light.

Pity...

Under Sashado's control.

Every minute and every second, large amounts of rock are being re-covered, filling in the damaged rock face.

"Damn it! Master Netero has been captured by that monster!"

At this moment, Biscuit, hidden inside the Invisible Cloak, was getting agitated and could hardly stay still. After all, she couldn't just stand by and watch Netero be attacked by that monster.

She was willing to take matters into her own hands, even if it meant exposing herself to the monster, just to create a chance for Master Netero to escape.

Ian frowned deeply. Through his battle with Sashado, Netero had used the [Performance-Enhancing Liquid], he roughly estimated Sashado's current strength.

I thought I had overestimated the opponent's strength as much as possible.

But to my surprise, the opponent was much stronger than I had imagined!

But.

The thought that V5 would be the most worried about this guy appearing in the present day made Ian feel much more at ease.

At least for now, there is no reason for them to go to war.

"Hey, calm down, Biscuit!"

"I told you, don't worry about Netero's safety. I'm here; I won't watch him die."

At this moment, Ian stopped Biscuit's impulsive behavior.

They were afraid that if she actually jumped out at this moment, it would attract Sashado's attention.

"But..."

Biscuit looked somewhat agitated; she had noticed the perilous situation Netero was in.

Even with Ian saying that, she was still somewhat anxious.

"Don't worry..."

Ian stared intently at her, then looked up at the enormous Rock Palm that was tightly binding Netero high in the sky.

If he wanted, he could easily use the [Invincible Turret] to blast a hole in it, giving Netero a chance to escape. However, doing so would inevitably attract Sashado's attention.

The opponent is now incredibly strong; it would be unwise to fight him.

Just then...

Ian noticed the Ise Armed Forces Faction approaching from afar, and his eyes narrowed with some doubt.

Who are those people?

After all, the Feilieka was now almost a city of ruins, a paradise for monsters, and he never expected that anyone would dare to come here.

Moreover, judging from their attire, they appeared to be a group of soldiers.

Upon hearing Ian's words, Uvogin, Kuroro, and the others also turned their gazes in that direction.

"They look like military personnel. Are they the relief force sent to Feilieka by the Republic of the Congo? Unfortunately, they're probably too late. There's nothing left here."

At this moment, Biscuit, who had calmed down, noticed the unit and sighed.

However, upon hearing her words, Chrollo, standing to the side, calmly offered a different opinion.

"If it were a rescue team, they wouldn't have ventured this far..."

"They should have noticed the battle here the moment they entered the city. If their mission was rescue, there was no need for them to risk coming here. If they couldn't find any wounded on the outskirts of the city, I don't think they would believe that there would be any trace of human presence in the heart of the city where a battle that clearly didn't occur would take place..."

Upon hearing Chrollo's explanation, Biscuit paused, then agreed with his assessment.

Ian narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then said softly.

"At the very least, the other party must be from this country. It seems they've already learned that Sashado is here..."

"However, it's clear they have no idea how terrifying this guy is, which is why they sent a bunch of ordinary soldiers here to die..."

Just as he finished speaking...

Ian noticed that the group had stopped at a certain spot, and the group seemed to be hurriedly setting something up.

Seeing this scene...

Ian frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something, and looked at Chrollo beside him, asking a question.

"Chrollo, from their perspective, they could clearly observe the battle between Sashado and Netero from a distance. Even if they were completely out of their minds, they shouldn't have thought that this was something an ordinary army could handle..."

Even so, they still chose to risk coming...

"Could it be... that they believe they possess the armed forces capable of dealing with this monster?"

In fact, Ian had already begun to have some doubts at this point.

Upon hearing Ian's words, Chrollo, who was standing to the side, paused for a moment before speaking.

"From this perspective, it's not wrong..."

Soon, Chrollo recalled the information he had read about the Republic of the Congo and began to speak in a deep voice.

"I read in the book that the country's government is not unified, there are many separatist forces within the country, and the country is rich in mineral resources, producing all kinds of gemstones."

"The reason why these resource-rich small countries cannot achieve complete unification appears on the surface to be the resistance from anti-government forces in various regions, but it's highly likely that V5 is behind it all, with their shadow and schemes..."

"If they've made contact with V5, they might have received V5's support and even possess some kind of extremely powerful weapon."

Everyone was slightly surprised to hear Chrollo's words.

Biscuit stared blankly at the young boy in front of her, wondering where he had gotten all this information, and casually asked him about it.

"Even if they possess some kind of incredibly powerful weapon, what is their purpose in coming here?"

Chrollo glanced at her with a puzzled look, then said calmly.

"Of course, we should capture this monster before us. Whether it lives or dies, its value is immeasurable..."

"Capture!?"

Hearing his analysis, Biscuit was somewhat surprised, thinking Chrollo's idea was a pipe dream, and what kind of person would come up with such a terrible idea!

How incredibly stupid must Peji's group be to come up with such a ridiculous plan!?

She couldn't help but sigh.

"While I don't know how you came to that conclusion, unfortunately... a terrible war had already taken place here before you arrived..."

"I don't think the people in this country's capital, no matter how stupid, could possibly believe they have the ability to capture this monster before them!"

Upon hearing Biscuit's words, Chrollo remained calm.

"Oh, so... a force had already been stationed here before..."

"It seems my thinking was correct..."

"This force before us is most likely not sent by the capital Peji; their true origin is probably one of the separatist forces within this country."

"Moreover... the intelligence they received might have been relayed by Peji's men..."

"How is that possible!?"

Biscuit had absolutely no idea why this kid was spouting such strange nonsense.

But.

Ian, who was standing to the side, trusted Chrollo's words completely and spoke up in support.

"I think... you'd better trust Chrollo a little..."

Although he didn't understand why Chrollo would analyze the matter in this way, he trusted Chrollo's mind.

Gain Ian's trust.

Chrollo nodded slightly, then glanced at Biscuit and said calmly.

"Nothing is impossible. Things are unfolding very clearly. Perhaps I'm wrong about some things, but... it's highly likely I'm not, because if I were in that position, I would choose to do it this way..."

"With sending troops to attack the monster proving fruitless, it's natural to need to find another way to destroy it..."

"Currently, Article 11 and Article 45 of the anti-war regulations formulated by V5 explicitly prohibit the use of certain strategic weapons. These are things that governments around the world should not lack, but because of these anti-war regulations, they are all restraining each other. However, using domestic reactionary forces to achieve the means of use can be done with just some misleading intelligence..."

After hearing Chrollo's words, Biscuit's Shenwu complicated.

She couldn't help but give Chrollo a deep look.

She initially thought Ian was a genius, but later she discovered that Ian was a monster who transcended the concept of genius...

Yes...

How could a child staying next to a monster be an ordinary person...?
