Ian's pupils constricted, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

His eyes were fixed on the thin, bronze-yellow bullet that was still spinning on the ground, and his face was extremely grim.

Sniper rifle?

If it weren't for the fact that he had previously planted a mutated "Justice Rope" seed for himself, which provided him with protection...

That shot just now, wouldn't he be dead already?

Dangerous!

Although it was just a regular shooting, it was far more dangerous than the previous attacks!

If that bullet had hit him in the head, would he still be alive?

At this moment, Ian was filled with rage. He suddenly raised his head, wanting to see who was trying to kill him!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Immediately afterwards, a barrage of submachine gun fire rang out!

"Whoosh!"

Ian flashed to Machi's side, shielding her behind him. His eyes were sharp, and his lips were slightly pursed.

Those who know him well know that this is the prelude to his true rage.

"Machi, stay behind me and don't move!"

Machi was somewhat flustered.

But upon hearing Ian's words, she immediately did as he said.

Ian stood at the front, convinced that if the Justice Rope could stop the first attack, it could stop the subsequent ones!

As expected.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

Before him, the Justice Rope, with its single, large eye, swung like a whip, yet with each twist, it precisely deflected bullets that were meant to hit Ian.

But.

It also sustained some damage from the barrage of bullets.

Ian watched, thinking to himself that he must use his Nen to further train the other person afterward.

This time, the Justice Rope has done a great job!

At that moment, a group of people emerged from the Forest in the distance.

It was clearly an elite team dressed in special operations uniforms, each member equipped with night vision goggles and a variety of functional weapons.

Ian's face darkened, and he was filled with doubt.

Who are these guys?

Just as he was wondering, a middle-aged man with tattoos, wearing a coat, and a gloomy face stepped out from the special forces team in the distant jungle, looked at Ian, and sneered.

"As expected, they're Nen users... just a bunch of brats!"

"Hey, you little rascals are really brave, daring to cause trouble in the Gogar Kingdom. Don't you know who's protecting you here?"

Seeing Ian remain silent, the man sneered.

"They came from Meteor City, right? There's no other place it could be."

"I've killed countless guys like you. Just because you've recently mastered Nen Ability, you dare to act arrogantly and cause trouble in the outside world. You guys... you really don't know your own limitations!"

Just then...

Behind Ian, inside the Grand Leader's Mansion, Chrollo, Uvogin, Franklin, and others emerged one after another, while Feitan remained in the hall to keep an eye on the group.

They set off as soon as they heard the gunshots.

"Hey, Ian, are you alright?"

"Yes, there are Nen users among the enemies. Be careful!"

In the distance, watching them, Ryuk, a Nen user, revealed a cold expression and spoke coldly to the people around him.

"Keep attacking! They're all Nen users... Kill them all!"

As he finished speaking...

Beside him, a group of special forces soldiers quickly set up their guns and opened fire on Ian and his men!

"Everyone, get out of the way!"

"Franklin, do it!"

With Ian's command.

The group quickly found a hiding spot, while Franklin, who was already prepared, simply pulled someone from behind and, wielding the "Infinite Gatling Gun," engaged the enemy in a head-on battle!

This usually honest and kind man now looked completely deranged.

It seems that only when he goes all out can he find the true meaning of life!

Faced with the sudden counterattack, the special forces soldiers were quickly hit and fell one after another.

"What!?"

Ryuk's pupils contracted; he hadn't expected these kids to dare fight back, and... the other side clearly possessed heavy weaponry.

His face darkened.

He quickly raised his hand to his face, as if speaking to the rings on his five fingers, his voice icy.

"Armor!"

As he finished speaking, the rocks on the ground seemed to come alive and cling to the special forces soldiers standing next to him.

It was as if everyone was wearing a tortoise shell.

In an instant, Franklin's firepower was reduced by more than half.

Even if the bullets hit this group of people, they would only leave craters in their rock armor, unable to penetrate and causing no large-scale damage.

The enemy's offensive showed no signs of abating.

Ian frowned, noticing the other party's Nen Ability. He summoned a [Cursed Camera] and prepared to take a picture of the other party from a distance.

"Snap!"

The photo was successfully taken.

However, due to the great distance and the darkness of the night, they were unable to successfully wash away the Cursed Doll.

Ian, Ian put on the [Good Friend Ring] and [Air Pistol], waiting for the other party to come closer so he could use the items to deal with them!

In the distance, Ryuk frowned; he had just had a bad feeling.

However, that sense of crisis quickly disappeared.

He couldn't help but shout into the dark Forest behind him.

"Hey, Elena, hurry up and make your move! These brats are tough to deal with!"

Behind him, a tall, slender woman slowly appeared and said in a cold voice.

"Didn't I tell you? I'm only responsible for carrying out the princess's orders. This is your business and has nothing to do with me!"

"You...!!"

Ryuk was furious, but he knew his opponent's strength was undeniable, so he decided not to argue and instead took matters into his own hands!

"Inspiring!"

He raised his hand and whispered something to the ring.

The next moment, his figure transformed into a black shadow, rapidly approaching Ian and the others.

"How dare you charge in like that!"

Ian's eyes lit up, and he quickly set up the [Cursed Camera], waiting for the other party to walk right into his trap!

However, during the high-speed movement, Ryuk raised his hand again and coldly uttered a word.

"Flame!"

As soon as he finished speaking!

"Boom!"

Suddenly, flames burst into flames, like a giant flamethrower, obscuring the figures of Ian and the others.

"Damn it! You think this is Hokage? Using that kind of move?!"

Ian was startled by the opponent's sudden move, cursed loudly, and quickly retreated!

"Get out of the way!"

Chrollo, Uvogin, and the others standing nearby were also horrified. The obstacles in front of them were being sprayed with flames, and the intense heat forced them to take cover.

For a moment, everyone was covered in dust and looked extremely disheveled.

"Hehe!"

Ryuk stopped, watching his opponent's disheveled escape, and a cold smile crept onto his lips.

He is a descendant of the minority tribe, the Bapokyu Tribe, and his awakened Nen Ability is "Edict," which is the same as the God in the tribe's legends.

Ryuk can control five different elemental powers: fire, Thunder, Vitality, rock, and Gale.

Each attribute will automatically unleash its power according to his "two-word Edict," exhibiting a random but extremely powerful effect.

But.

One important restriction is that he must issue Edict in the language of the Bapokyu Tribe, which requires a certain level of pronunciation. According to the tribe's legends, this is the language of the Gods, a highly difficult and elegant pronunciation.

After escaping the flames, everyone smelled of burning.

Uvogin, in particular, had his entire head of hair singed and curled.

Ian quickly summoned a bottle of [Underground Gas], and without saying a word, he started spraying the gas canister on everyone.

"Spray this on first. This guy's Nen Ability is very strong; he can even control flames. Let's hide for now!"

In the original work, besides Feitan's [Rising Sun], Killua's Electric Nen and Genthru's [A Little Flowerpot] demonstrate this elemental ability.

The opponent's strength is clearly impressive, no less than that of Genthru in the future.

After spraying the Underground Gas, Ian swam down from the ground and just as he surfaced, he tried to take a picture of the other person.

"Flame!"

The next second, he was met with an overwhelming burst of flames, so bright that he couldn't see anything and quickly sank to the ground.

Ryuk saw this and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

It can actually burrow underground?

As for Ian, since he didn't understand the opponent's Nen Ability, he didn't have any specific countermeasures for the time being.

At this moment.

A thoughtful look flashed in Chrollo's eyes as he spoke calmly.

"Ian, Nen Ability with that kind of power shouldn't be usable without any cost... That guy always seems to speak before using his ability..."

"Is that so?"

Ian scratched his head; he hadn't noticed that detail.

However, since Chrollo has spoken, he believes that at least the other party's line of thinking is not wrong.

The next second, his eyes lit up.

A useless prop from a couple of days ago seems to have come in handy!
