Defeating Hisoka X A Distant Journey

Inside a small airport.

A Red Stone Pharmaceuticals Airship is parked here.

After Kurapika and his companion got out of the car, they saw someone they didn't expect appear there.

"Uncle?"

Pairo was somewhat surprised.

To his surprise, Kevin was standing next to the Airship, smiling and waving at them.

Besides Kevin, Melusina was also smiling and waving at him.

An unexpected person appeared here, clearly indicating that something was amiss.

The two quickly went up to him.

Uncle Kevin, what are you doing here?

Kevin didn't say anything, but simply took out a piece of paper and handed it to Kurapika.

Kurapika looked at it and realized it was Nion's prophecy.

The Prophecy Poem has only two verses; the first verse says that he would be fighting for the first three weeks.

The following week, they found themselves being targeted by certain individuals.

If nothing happens for a month, there will be only one or two such periods per month.

Sometimes it's even a solution.

"So you know who's been watching you?"

Kevin looked at Kurapika and Pairo's expressions and asked.

Kurapika and Pairo exchanged a glance and nodded slightly. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be the same person they met in the corridor yesterday.

However, Kurapika was more curious as to why someone would make such a prediction about him out of the blue.

Whether he is in danger is actually easy to judge; just look at the Action Dial in his mother 'Nen ability.

Under normal circumstances, anything beyond the middle of the danger level is generally not a concern.

Because the first part of the danger is all within a normal range, only when the danger level exceeds the middle mark is a more serious situation likely to occur.

This is the experience they gained.

"Hey, why have you suddenly become so dense?"

Melusina glanced at Kurapika, put her hands on her hips, and said helplessly. Upon hearing this, Kurapika blushed, and roughly understood what was going on.

Is Nion worried about me?

Kevin nodded slightly and smiled, "You can't say that. It's just that she's been separated from you for so long, so she must miss you a bit."

Since Kurapika and his companion arrived, the three of them have hardly been separated, with the time they spend apart rarely exceeding a few days.

They were separated for two months at a time, and after a month Nion couldn't take it anymore.

Although Nion had always been alone, now that she had good friends, how could she, a spoiled young lady, possibly stand it?

Not just anyone can become her friend.

She really does have very few friends.

Although I wouldn't lose my temper right now, I'll naturally use my Nen ability to make a prediction.

If she weren't limited to making a prediction only once a month, she would want to make predictions every single day.

You don't know if she or he was worried, or if it was something else entirely.

Just as Pairo was about to recount what had happened, Kevin suddenly narrowed his eyes and patted Pairo on the shoulder.

"No need to say more, we have guests."

As he spoke, he walked forward.

There aren't many Airship at this small airport anymore, so the area in front is completely empty with no obstructions.

Two figures approached them, one after the other.

Pairo and Kurapika were somewhat surprised; they hadn't expected the other to follow them.

Because they had done a preliminary check, they found no trace of tracking.

The two followed Kevin over.

They watched as the two figures emerged from the darkness.

One of them was dressed rather strangely and didn't look very proper.

But Kevin was even more surprised by something else.

"Illumi? You didn't take on any jobs related to us, did you?"

Kevin recognized Illumi immediately.

Although he had only met the other person once, that was shortly after he had arrived in this world.

So it still left a deep impression on me.

More importantly, Illumi was a frequent customer of his shop, and in most cases, his family members would personally pick up the medicine.

Kevin was very considerate of people who came to his door to pick up their medicine.

"No, I was just curious."

Illumi said directly.

"Curious?" Kevin looked at the other person next to him.

Hisoka waved gently at Kevin, a smile on his face.

"Looks like a pervert."

Kevin said without any hesitation.

Illumi nodded, a rare occurrence for him.

He couldn't understand someone like Hisoka who enjoyed fighting without accepting any reward, and even paid out of his own pocket; he thought Hisoka was practically a psychopath.

"That's too much. I prefer people to call me an artist or something like that."

Kevin waved his hand dismissively.

"So what do you want? It seems you've got your eye on our child. I think you'd better look away."

What do you think?

Facing Kevin's slightly threatening gaze.

Hisoka did not back down.

"Pairo and Kurapika, they're amazing, I'd love to fight them. But I prefer a pair..." Upon hearing this, Kevin raised an eyebrow and stared at the other person.

He probably understood.

They're the kind of people who occasionally appear in movies and TV shows.

Those guys who are obsessed with fighting.

This person might be one of those types.

"So, you're the kind of person who lives by fighting, the kind who can't survive without it, right?"

"Oh~"

Hisoka's voice rose a tone or two.

It was rare to encounter someone who could discover his true nature so easily, which made him somewhat excited.

"Could it be that you also..."

Kevin interrupted immediately, "Sorry, I'm not interested in that, but I know guys like you are a real pain."

He pointed to a spot not far away.

"How about this, what do you think of me? I'm at least somewhat acceptable to you."

Hisoka licked his lips.

"You got a high score! I can't hold back anymore!"

His entire expression began to tremble as Kevin spoke; he had been enduring it from the very first moment he saw Kevin.

"Looks like you're even more twisted than I thought," Kevin, somewhat helplessly.

As he spoke, he walked toward the open space beside him.

Hisoka followed.

The crowd immediately surrounded them.

We arrived at the open space.

The two stood facing each other.

Hisoka, who had been waiting impatiently, attacked instantly.

His movements were extremely stealthy and were interspersed within his footsteps.

However, it's meaningless.

Kevin always activates "Frozen" directly during combat; this sneaky action is pointless.

He tilted his head slightly outward, dodging the pink Nen Aura ball.

"What a disgusting thing! Your Nen ability? Snot?"

"That's really going too far, it's chewing gum!"

Hisoka hadn't expected his opponent to use "Freeze" right at the start of the battle.

Generally speaking, "Condensation" is not a skill that can be used easily in combat.

Because this prerequisite is focus.

You must focus intently to concentrate your energy in your eyes and see through the "hidden" things.

However, it's not so easy to activate in the early stages of a battle, or even at the very beginning, especially since it's difficult to maintain focus during intense combat.

Otherwise, people who know this technique would have activated it every time they fought, and there wouldn't be so many people who are constantly tricked by techniques like "stealth".

Moreover, if "Condensation" is used so easily, its practical value has been greatly diminished.

"So it's chewed gum? What a disgusting Nen ability," Kevin commented.

He lowered his head as he spoke.

The chewing gum bounced back from behind, missing its target once again.

The opponent's Nen ability clearly did not have a direct offensive capability, and Hisoka had been using covert techniques to throw his Nen ability throughout the battle.

This suggests that the opponent's Nen ability plays a more functional role in combat.

After several attempts, Hisoka realized that it was almost impossible to stick his Nen ability to his opponent from a distance.

This is an absolute Nen Ability Masters.

And they are highly experienced.

Since ranged attacks are ineffective, we'll have to resort to close-quarters combat to stick to them.

He ultimately relied primarily on close-quarters combat skills to achieve victory.

Hisoka charged straight at them.

Seeing this scene.

Kurapika and the others almost burst out laughing.

Even Illumi couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

Two years ago, he was no match for Kevin in close combat.

He didn't think Hisoka's close-combat skills were much better than his own.

Hisoka's reckless charge was already a sign that the battle was over.

Facing Hisoka charging at him.

Kevin simply watched him indifferently, while the other man subtly projected his disgusting chewing gum at a time like this.

"Call out!"

A sound of something cutting through the air.

The fist struck the opponent.

"Bang!"

With a deafening roar, Hisoka was sent flying backward.

He was somewhat incredulous.

Because he couldn't even see the opponent's punching motion and speed.

He didn't even see it clearly.

The gap between the two was even more outrageous than he had imagined.

Hisoka was sent flying backwards and crashed to the ground, sliding a considerable distance.

He pressed his stomach as he got up from the ground.

Her face was a little red.

It hurts a lot, but I can still bear it.

Interestingly, Hisoka is very aware of his own body; although he felt pain from the punch to the stomach, he didn't feel injured.

"Don't be surprised, that punch was just a simple test."

Kevin walked over slowly and said.

His punch was merely a simple assessment to determine whether Hisoka was within the range of whether or not he needed to be killed.

"You're lucky. If it were before, I would have definitely killed you."

Previously, his Fist of Good and Evil distinguished between good and evil, but it was a very crude way of distinguishing between good and evil.

Therefore, he rarely uses the difference in fist strength to judge whether the opponent needs to be killed, unless he already intends to kill the opponent.

But things are different now.

The abilities granted by the [Resentment Snake Potion] were stranger than he had imagined.

Resentment is a form of will, a fusion of will and Nen Aura.

Therefore, this strange ability amplified his Good and Evil Power.

Now, his Malice Power, besides distinguishing between good and evil, can also cause his own values to clash with the other person's behavior.

Simply put, it's about whether the other person's behavior aligns with your values and beliefs.

From the current perspective, Hisoka clearly does not fit the description.

However, he falls into the category of being guilty, but not guilty of a crime punishable by death.

Kevin stomped on the floor.

A small crater instantly appeared in the floor.

As if a cannonball had been launched, Kevin rushed forward.

Hisoka quickly moved to the side, and the Nen Aura that had been clinging to him instantly pulled him over.

Kevin immediately changed direction.

Hisoka immediately used his Nen Aura to shift his direction once again.

"An interesting application."

After reciting a sentence, Kevin waved his hand.

"Brush!"

The wind blade flew out.

This is a prediction.

Hisoka, who was being pulled in a certain direction, quickly fired Nen Aura in the opposite direction.

They pulled at each other and came to a stop in the middle.

The Wind Blade grazed his cheek, leaving a wound.

"Boom!"

In the instant he stopped.

The battle is over.

Kevin's fist slammed into him.

The chewing gum stuck to him snapped instantly, and he was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing heavily to the ground and rolling several times before coming to a stop.

This time, Kevin didn't press his advantage. He dusted off imaginary dust and turned to leave.

They boarded the Airship with Kurapika and the others.

The Airship takes off.

Illumi stood beside Hisoka, watching the Airship depart, before crouching down.

He reached out and poked the other person with his finger.

"Is he dead?"

No.

Hisoka answered.

I painfully rolled over to face the sky.

It lies there in a large, open position.

At this point, he had multiple fractures, and one leg and one hand were completely twisted.

His face wore the expression of a sage.

"This is troublesome."

He was originally going to find the Chrollo of the Phantom Troupe, but these injuries wouldn't be easy to heal.

Illumi took out two potions from his pouch.

"These two potions can quickly heal your injuries. Five hundred million."

"Make a deal."

Illumi poured the potion into the other person's mouth.

Hisoka felt himself recovering, starting with his external injuries, which were healing in a way that was almost visible to the naked eye.

Bone healing is slower, but it's still very fast.

After fifteen minutes of the drug's effects wore off.

Hisoka was able to sit up from the ground and stand up shakily.

"My bones haven't fully recovered yet; they'll need a few more days," Hisoka said, sensing the changes in his body.

Illumi simply shook his head.

"I only brought one vial of [Bone Setting Potion]."

"They're no match at all. They can't even fight back, let alone defend themselves."

Hisoka said with a hint of helplessness.

Although he enjoys fighting and killing, he has absolutely no interest in this kind of one-sided massacre.

This completely ruined his mood.

What does this mean to him?

It's like he finally got into the mood, but then, during the foreplay, his enthusiasm suddenly vanished.

However, judging from the naked eye alone, it seemed impossible for Kevin to be this powerful.

For someone like him who loves fighting and killing, Hisoka can judge whether someone is his target simply by looking at them.

But this time he had to say it.

He misjudged the situation.

He thought he could have a back-and-forth battle with his opponent, the most exciting fight he had ever seen.

The outcome was completely unexpected.

Illumi was once again convinced of his earlier judgment: that guy was expanding his power at a speed that ordinary people could not comprehend.

Illumi strongly suspected it was a potion, but the other party wouldn't sell it.

He's now thinking about how to get the other party to sell that drug.

On the Airship.

Kurapika and Hisoka chatted for a bit about how they met.

Finally, we talked about the previous battles.

There wasn't much to talk about, since it ended so quickly.

After Kurapika boarded the Airship, he observed the surroundings and noticed something amiss, so he asked a question.

"Uncle, are you planning to go on a long trip?"

He saw some luggage and such.

Kevin nodded. "I'm planning to go on a trip."

As for who she was going with, Melusina was standing next to her, had already given the answer.

"Travel?"

Pairo was somewhat puzzled.

In his opinion, Kevin was somewhat of a homebody.

Unless he had to go out on business, Kevin always preferred to stay in the Manor reading, researching, and making potions.

The kinds of entertainment they enjoy are things that can be done at home.

For example, playing chess, cards, and video games.

Going on a trip is something I can't even imagine.

Let's visit those Ruins.

Melusina smiled and explained.

More importantly, Kevin had his fortune told by Nion before leaving home.

Everything before that is unimportant.

But then came the last sentence.

They will encounter their dream within some Ruins.

What does it mean to have something you've always dreamed of?

Kevin will obviously get the materials he wants.

At least that's what he thinks.
