Kevin and his team were extremely well-prepared for this spider hunt.

They can even divide the hunt into sections with varying levels of difficulty.

The simplest case.

With Hisoka's help, Kevin and Melusina form a hunting team.

He can guarantee a successful hunt every time, as long as Hisoka creates an opportunity.

But this is risky.

According to Hisoka, if they were to move as a group, the Chrollo would likely divide them into different teams.

Furthermore, it remains uncertain how much Nen ability Chrollo, as the Chrollo, actually possesses in his book.

Chrollo's Nen ability, [Master of Stealth], is Specialization Type, with extremely powerful effects, making it arguably one of the world's top Nen ability.

Under certain stringent conditions, he can steal and use other people's Nen ability.

As long as the original owner of the Nen ability is alive, his Nen ability will continue to be stolen by Chrollo.

The hope of regaining Nen ability is extremely slim.

Besides the stringent conditions for stealing, in order to use Nen ability, one must open the book and turn to the page where Nen ability are stored.

Even with numerous conditions, it still cannot conceal the immense power of this Nen ability.

If you put yourself in someone else's shoes, you'll know how you would use such Nen ability.

Not to mention that Chrollo, as the Chrollo, is definitely not a fool. Over the years, who knows what kind of Nen ability he possesses?

Even with his Nen ability to immediately know when a member dies, Kevin wasn't surprised at all.

It is precisely because of this book that many unexpected situations can arise.

Therefore, the simple approach was eliminated.

And this time it's revenge.

Kurapika and Pairo are definitely going to participate.

Then let's choose another method.

With everyone mobilized, and Hisoka acting as an undercover agent, they completely surrounded the location where the enemy was gathering.

The Phantom Troupe has never failed, so when all members are gathered together, that's essentially when they feel safest and most relaxed.

Especially when a long time has passed, the entire operation is mobilized to steal.

No one expected that the meeting place would be a trap.

As for the claim that internal staff were bribed, that's utter nonsense.

Therefore, tonight's operation is the best opportunity, and also the one with the fewest unexpected situations.

Hisoka has been a member of the Phantom Troupe for quite some time now. Although they haven't all been on missions together, they have participated a few times and learned about some of the Nen ability of the members.

In battles between Nen user, intelligence is extremely important.

This is especially true for certain Nen user.

For example, if the enemy learns about Pairo 'Pairo Nen ability, it will be extremely easy for them to counter him.

Therefore, this is very important.

Kevin and his group acquired the Nen ability of six people during the operation.

There are only a few people who don't know about Nen ability.

Feitan, Phinks, Kortopi, Burolo Lev, Nobunaga.

There's one more thing we shouldn't forget: Kevin and his friends have the ability to "predict".

This time, they mobilized enough people that each of them could make a prophecy.

When these prophecies are piled up and analyzed...

More intelligence was released.

A highly dangerous character capable of generating high temperatures and causing widespread damage.

An entity capable of copying objects.

An enemy connected to the Dance of the Planets.

None of these three Nen ability obtained through prophecy are related to Enhancement Type.

Nobunaga and Phinks were immediately ruled out. Although their Nen ability were unknown, they were known to be Enhancement Type.

Then the remaining three can be matched up.

Besides these, there is other intelligence, all of which are details that can be uncovered.

Thus, the Phantom Troupe's very secrets were almost exposed.

Kevin and his team's advantage suddenly increased significantly.

Through the Prophecy Poem, they also learned that the Chrollo possessed the ability to transfer members.

Judging from the fact that some people in the later prophecies still engaged in battles, the area of the relocation was not large.

Therefore, the hunting plan now has a specific target.

The chances of launching a sneak attack in full view of everyone, taking down the Chrollo first to prevent the enemy from moving their companions away, are extremely low.

Then let them go; the area they can be relocated to is limited.

This way, the opponent can be divided and dealt with one by one.

The "sun," unable to cope, was forced out by Kevin, who then dealt with it personally.

The plan was a success.

They were deliberately outmaneuvering the unsuspecting, coupled with absolute information suppression.

At this point, the Phantom Troupe had already been divided up.

The Nen ability stolen by the Chrollo allows him to Teleportation his members away, but the further the distance, the more difficult it becomes.

The more problems there are.

For example, the Chrollo tried his best to send all his team members out, but because it was too far, they were basically sent out in a dispersed manner according to the furthest distance.

This resulted in the rest of the Phantom Troupe being arranged in a circle, distributed within the area centered on the previously ruined building.

"Let me go! Uvogin will die."

Inside one of the ruined buildings, Nobunaga was shouting, trying to break free from Phinks's grip.

"He might not die! Let's go, this is an opportunity created by the Chrollo and Feitan."

Phinks shouted more calmly.

Everything happened so fast and so suddenly today; they never imagined that they would be surrounded by enemies.

Moreover, judging from the enemy's behavior, they are very strong and did not come alone.

There are traitors within their ranks.

The situation was extremely unfavorable for them, but under normal circumstances they wouldn't run away. Instead, they would think about fighting a battle they couldn't win before trying to escape.

However, things didn't go as planned.

The Chrollo stopped their attack and immediately ordered them to flee.

"Where's the regimental Chrollo? The Chrollo is still there!"

Upon hearing this, Phinks frowned deeply and cursed, "With Feitan's Nen ability, the Chrollo will find a chance to escape."

As he spoke, Phinks suddenly remembered something and his expression changed drastically.

Ignoring all of that, he rushed out of the window and jumped up the broken wall.

He jumped to the rooftop in just a few leaps.

Nobunaga didn't know why, but he managed to keep up.

With his hand on the hilt of the knife, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Phinks' expression turned very grim.

It's so quiet, so quiet!

He grabbed Nobunaga's collar with a slap. "How could Feitan's Nen ability be so quiet!"

They are still in the ruins of this city.

The area wasn't as large as one might imagine. Standing on the roof of this ruined building, while you couldn't see everything, you could almost take in the entire area.

The destruction caused by Feitan's sun was extremely powerful; theoretically, they should have been able to hear the commotion when they were teleported away and landed.

However, no.

The problem suddenly became serious.

"Feitan was killed?"

Nobunaga suddenly asked.

Phinks shook his head.

Although the Phantom Troupe is a group, it also has different smaller teams within it.

For example, Nobunaga and Uvogin, or him and Feitan.

"His Nen ability has already been activated; it cannot disappear even if he dies."

There's only one possibility: the other person made his Nen ability disappear.

In this situation, it indicates that the opponent's strength not only resulted in overwhelming dominance, but also demonstrated a targeted strategy.

This is a hunt targeting them.

"That doesn't make sense; the enemy shouldn't know about Feitan's Nen ability."

After all, Hisoka was the Hisoka, but Hisoka knew only limited information.

"Never mind, run!"

Phinks ignored all of that and turned to flee into the distance.

This is the most correct choice at present.

As he fled, he turned back and said, "If I die here, I'll never get my revenge!"

These words became the final straw.

Nobunaga gritted his teeth in resentment, turned around, and followed.

Kevin has displayed overwhelming power, and has even now overcome Feitan's Nen ability.

The enemy came prepared, aiming to wipe them out in one fell swoop; they were at a disadvantage from the very beginning.

Leave first, then regroup and try again.

Then, kill these guys one by one!!!

Nobunaga roared inwardly.

The two hadn't gone far when Phinks stopped, frowning as he looked at the distance to his side.

"It's me."

Machi's voice.

"Don't stop."

Upon hearing this, the two immediately sprang into action.

The three of them reunited.

Before they could say anything, the night wind blew in.

They walked through streets strewn with ruins, while the wind blew overhead.

All three had extensive combat experience.

The instant they realized it, they suddenly split into three groups and jumped away.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, dust billowed up. A gust of wind swept through, dispersing the dust.

A Griffin.

Two people were standing on the Griffin's back.

"You can't escape."

The two were Gowen and Kurapika.

Nobunaga and his two companions stood separately on the other side, their gazes meeting.

"Your strength has increased considerably."

In the night sky, where the moon shines.

Three figures were chatting idly atop the back of a Griffin.

Men Qi smiled smugly when she heard Biscuit's words.

"Of course, I do have some talent, and Kevin's potion certainly helped a bit."

Men Qi held up her finger and gestured, indicating that she could only offer a little help.

"You've managed to summon so many Griffin Nen Beast all at once; your growth in strength has exceeded my expectations."

Biscuit was generous with her praise.

However, Men Qi wasn't smug at this point. Instead, she sighed and said, "It's not as powerful as you think. Those Griffin that were just separated were all castrated."

Simply put, it only retained the Griffin's size and speed.

Even its shape isn't very solidified; it's more like an empty shell.

However, it's more than enough for chasing down enemies.

"Kurapika and the others caught up."

I can't breathe Buhara reminded him, who was holding the binoculars.

Men Qi shifted her attention and picked up her binoculars to take a look.

"I think I found it here too."

Biscuit exclaimed in surprise, "That's an extreme Nen ability."

The two instantly shifted their gaze to the direction Biscuit was looking.

There.

Suddenly, a large number of identical ruined buildings appeared, densely packed together, instantly transforming the area into Steel Rebar Ruin Forest.

"Is this Nen ability?"

Even Men Qi, a veteran hunter and a One-star Hunter, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

What kind of Nen ability could create so many buildings at once?

The way it was presented was a bit too exaggerated.

To be honest, Men Qi had never seen Nen ability with such an exaggerated form of expression.

This is truly eye-opening.

"No wonder this team has been able to be so arrogant for so long; each member has their own unique skill."

However, the Steel Forest of so many buildings did indeed obscure their view, and they couldn't see this group anymore.

"I hope Pairo and the others are alright."

Hearing Buhaci's words, Men Qi patted his belly. "Don't worry, Kevin cherishes them more than you do."

In the distance, ruins and buildings form a forest.

Pairo was in the forest, with Shalnark beside him holding Vacuum Cleaner.

"It seems that the long-haired dwarf is the one with the Nen ability that can copy objects."

Pairo reminded him.

The Shalnark next to him has a poor memory, so he has to remind her to avoid forgetting.

"Okay, I understand."

Shalnark nodded calmly.

This operation was very important to the other party, so she remembered everything clearly from the beginning of the operation until now, and she would not forget it.

"That short guy's combat ability is very weak, yet he displayed such an exaggerated display; his Nen ability is equally extreme."

That blond, baby-faced guy called "Shalnark" is Manipulation Type; stay alert and don't get hit by his needles.

And that one with a face full of scars—"

He hadn't finished speaking.

A sound like a machine gun came from afar.

Get out of the way!

As he spoke, Pairo grabbed Shalnark, and the two of them immediately hid behind the load-bearing pillar.

With the sound of machine guns, a large number of Nen Bullet were fired, and in an instant, the wall they had just taken cover from was blasted into ruins.

However, the attacks did not stop at all.

They kept bombarding their direction.

Sensing danger Pairo pulled Shalnark away and began to flee in the other direction.

He closed one eye while running away.

He is stealing Franklin's monocular vision.

He circled around the building for a while, then jumped onto a tall building.

The two hid behind a load-bearing pillar.

The attack has stopped.

In Pairo's stolen vision, the enemy had completely lost sight of them; from the very beginning of the attack, they hadn't actually seen them at all.

His gaze shifted to the side.

The Shalnark and the dwarf were right next to each other.

He slightly raised his arm, aiming at the spot where he was currently hiding.

Attack launched.

A barrage of Nen Bullet tore through the barrier walls.

Only after the opponent's attack shattered the wall did Pairo pull Shalnark along to continue dodging.

"There's a problem. According to the intelligence, neither Franklin nor the Shalnark should have the ability to conduct reconnaissance."

So it was that short guy? - Oh, I see, the items he copied had detection capabilities.

Through the visual theft he had just witnessed and his current predicament, Pairo instantly pieced together the specific information about Kortopi, whose unique Nen ability was unknown.

On the other side.

Franklin and his two companions stood by the window.

"They escaped again?"

Kortopi nodded and pointed in the direction Pairo was moving.

"There, it keeps moving."

"This is troublesome. Our intelligence has definitely been exposed long ago. Apart from the Kortopi your ability has a reconnaissance function, which the enemy doesn't know, everything else has been figured out."

The Shalnark stood to the side, frowning, and couldn't help but sigh.

The main culprit is Hisoka, the traitor.

Of the three, only Kortopi had never shown his Nen ability to Hisoka.

But now most of it has already been shown.

Aside from the fact that the copied item is round, the other party is likely unaware of this.

This is their only intelligence advantage.

The Shalnark must take advantage of this.

"We have no intelligence right now. It would be best if I could control one of them; that way, we might still have a chance to turn the tide."

The Shalnark muttered to himself.

The turnaround he referred to was this operation where they were surrounded and hunted.

The intelligence on the two sides is completely incomparable.

However, if one manages to control one of the sources and obtain the desired information, they might be able to find an opportunity to turn the tide and win.

Even if there's no chance, at least knowing some information before escaping will allow them to find more weaknesses to take revenge.

That's right.

"We must take down one of them."
