Result X Reunion

Illumi stood atop a ruined building, facing the cold night wind, silently gazing down below.

Below this ruined building, in a relatively open area, two figures were engaged in a fierce battle.

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion.

A large amount of smoke and dust rose up, quickly filling the battlefield and obscuring the view of the entire battlefield.

Amidst the smoke and dust, the two continued their relentless battle.

Suddenly, Illumi paused for a moment, then turned to look at his side.

Kevin had somehow appeared beside him, arms crossed, looking down with him.

"How's the situation?"

Kevin asked casually.

In response to Kevin's question, Illumi replied casually, his voice completely flat. "Hisoka's chances of winning are slim."

"Oh?"

Kevin was somewhat surprised, because in his opinion, Hisoka and Chrollo should be about the same in terms of basic qualities and various abilities.

He had never fought Chrollo, but he had fought Hisoka, and as an examiner in the last exam, he witnessed almost the entirety of their battle.

Hisoka's Nen ability, in essence, is not very powerful; it can only be described as very interesting.

Transforming Nen Aura into elastic chewing gum, [Stretchable Love], which can stretch and contract to a range of ten meters.

And a [Texture Surprise] that can simulate any surface material and be applied to a surface in a way that is indistinguishable from reality.

Hisoka manipulated two Nen ability that weren't particularly powerful, making them incredibly versatile.

Hisoka's true strength lies in his adaptability and his ability to launch unexpected and deadly attacks in battle.

As for Chrollo, Kevin's only impression of him was his Nen ability, which could be described as a powerful Specialty Nen ability [Thief's Ultimate].

Given enough time and support to grow, his potential will exceed all expectations.

It is a Nen ability that grows stronger with time and accumulation.

As the smoke cleared, Kevin was able to get a full view of the entire arena.

When he saw the venue, he roughly knew why Hisoka had failed.

First of all, in this battle, Hisoka is essentially the pursuer, while Chrollo is the one running away.

Hisoka, who wants to fight Chrollo, must take the initiative.

In other words, as long as Chrollo escapes and has the ability, he can choose a suitable battlefield.

And that's where they chose to go.

In this urban ruin, there are not many open spaces, and this is the only large open area.

Apart from some broken stones and bricks, there were no obstacles.

The battlefield's diameter definitely exceeds 100 meters, and fighting within it would severely limit Hisoka's Nen ability.

Hisoka's Nen ability, combined with his adaptability, makes him more adept at handling complex battlefields.

The simpler and more open the battlefield, the more torturous it is for Hisoka.

However, Kevin felt that the complex battlefield should also be advantageous for Chrollo, since no one knew what kind of Nen ability were contained in his book.

Both of them were in very poor condition at this time.

Chrollo's arm had been severed, disappearing from the elbow.

One leg was severed at the thigh.

The problem is that Kevin didn't see the broken part.

Hisoka, on the other hand, looked even more miserable.

His body bore very obvious signs of a direct explosion; his chest and abdomen were completely charred, and a small part of his cheeks had been blown apart.

One arm was completely blown off, with a charred cut surface, and the lower leg of one of the legs was also blown off.

Fortunately, Kevin could see the other severed part in the ruins not far away.

Hisoka failed.

"Illumi suddenly said."

He watched the whole thing and knew far more than Kevin did.

Kevin could only see the two's current state for the time being; in his eyes, Hisoka was currently at a disadvantage.

Just then, Chrollo gently shook the Handbell that appeared in his hand.

A crisp sound traveled outwards.

Upon realizing this action, Hisoka used his intact arm without hesitation to deafen himself.

"It's useless."

Chrollo said softly, but Hisoka could no longer hear him.

However, Hisoka was still able to understand what Chrollo was saying by reading his lips.

The sound waves from the Handbell are visible to the naked eye.

Hisoka was suddenly dragged further away by a pink Nen Aura.

However, he only had this one Nen Aura prepared for a backward dodge; the others had already been dealt with one by one by Chrollo during the battle.

The sound waves traveled quickly, and Hisoka had no chance to dodge; the sound waves swept over him.

Hisoka's entire body began to tremble, his whole body began to shake uncontrollably, and his body became disordered.

Chrollo immediately stopped ringing the Handbell and then turned to a new page, but no actual object appeared on this page.

Chrollo punched himself in the mouth, and blood flowed from his lips.

But Chrollo remained unmoved and continued to spew air forward.

"Call out!"

It's a tooth.

A tooth was spat out instantly, hitting Hisoka directly.

"Bang!"

My tooth exploded.

A fist-sized, jet-black wound was immediately blasted into Hisoka's body.

More teeth were spat out.

That punch just now knocked out four or five of Chrollo's teeth.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

One sound after another, continuous and endless.

Hisoka was knocked to the ground by the bombardment.

It looks like he won't be able to get up.

Chrollo closed the book, plopped down on the stone stool next to him, and kept panting heavily.

As Hisoka collapsed, Illumi jumped down from the building and instantly arrived beside Hisoka, pouring a vial of medicine into his mouth.

Then he brought another tube.

Two different medications were used to instantly stop Hisoka's injuries, preventing them from worsening.

At this moment, Hisoka slowly woke up.

Kevin probably already knew why Hisoka specifically hired Illumi.

Firstly, it was likely to ensure that his own battle with Chrollo wouldn't be disturbed throughout the entire operation.

Secondly, he received medical treatment after the event.

Hisoka may seem like someone who would risk his life for a fight, but in reality, he is the type who is extremely afraid of death.

The only reason Kevin could understand this was because the original consciousness within his body was the same.

The extreme fear of death stemmed from the inability to continue developing the drug.

Hisoka, on the other hand, was unable to continue fighting and could no longer experience the thrill of battle.

This will make him even more afraid of death.

Even after death, such a person has a very high chance of turning into Resentment.

Kevin jumped down and looked at Hisoka.

"You failed. Our agreement was that you would be able to fight the Phantom Troupe Chrollo undisturbed."

"If you die or fail in the battle, then it's our turn, right?"

Hisoka, who had just woken up, was very weak. He simply nodded slightly, acknowledging the agreement.

There's no point in him trying to tough it out now, since his injuries can't be easily fixed with just a couple of potions.

Even if he wanted to, he no longer had the ability.

"Then, I'll take over this battle."

As he spoke, Kevin turned to look at Chrollo, who was sitting on the stone stool.

At this moment, Chrollo took the opportunity to rest, glancing slightly up at Kevin.

Judging from your expression, you don't seem prepared to surrender easily?

Chrollo smiled and shook his head slightly.

"To surrender is to die."

Especially when the other party is clearly seeking revenge, can we really expect them to be merciful and let them go?

Kevin nodded, acknowledging the other person's actions.

"Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say. After all, there's still one more mine to deal with. Let's finish this quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kevin stood still and didn't move, but gently flicked his finger at Chrollo.

Although he didn't know what Kevin had done, Chrollo jumped up and made sure to create some distance first.

However, things didn't go as planned.

Chrollo was about to do a backflip, suddenly stopped in mid-air for some reason. His intact leg seemed to be stuck in the air, and his whole body hung upside down.

Chrollo was suspended upside down in the air, with a sphere encasing his legs, rendering his struggles futile.

"Should I cut off my last intact leg?"

Kevin snapped his fingers again as he asked the question.

Chrollo is really going to do it, or rather, he's already using his intact hand to prepare to cut off his last remaining leg that he can still move.

However, the arm that was about to be raised, like its legs, was enveloped by a round ball that had appeared out of nowhere.

They received the same treatment.

No matter how much he struggled, the sphere bound him so tightly that he was completely unable to move.

Having lost his intact arm, he can no longer even use his Nen ability.

One necessary condition for using Nen ability is to open the book with your hand and turn to the page containing the Nen ability you wish to use.

"You've become stronger!"

Hisoka's voice was weak as he looked at the scene and murmured to himself.

Illumi was watching too.

After Kevin returned from his disappearance, his strength had become so great that Kevin could no longer distinguish between them.

It's not about superior skills and abilities, but about inherent strength—the kind of danger that an assassin can recognize at a glance.

Especially when he came to customize medicine for Qi, his perception was even more pronounced then.

"Is it time? Time has been extremely slowed down inside this sphere?"

At this moment, Chrollo, who was trapped, finally realized the root of the problem and asked.

Kevin nodded.

"That's right, I slowed down time within the sphere. You're still trying to pull your hands and legs back, but it's taking much longer than you expect."

Kevin then came to Chrollo's side.

Suddenly, the movement accelerated, and a Syringe was plunged directly into Chrollo's body, injecting liquid into him.

Chrollo's aura vanished instantly, and he entered a state of "Zetsu".

"You want to self-destruct, don't you? Although I didn't see it clearly, it seemed like you were keeping the book open the whole time during your break, and you weren't turning the pages."

He didn't know what Nen ability were in Chrollo's books, but he knew what Nen ability Chrollo used at the end.

It should be Nen ability that uses body parts as bombs; the larger and more important the part, the stronger the explosion.

The other party was already missing an arm and a leg before I arrived, which must have been used as a bomb.

The two huge explosion marks on the battlefield were likely caused by the use of this Nen ability.

However, teeth have a significantly lower explosive power.

I would never believe Kevin could have such a Nen ability and couldn't possibly self-destruct.

So, when is the best time to self-destruct?

It's definitely when you get close to the other person that you can maximize the damage to yourself, or even take them down with you.

"You really can't hide anything from me."

Chrollo sighed and silently closed his eyes.

He gave up resisting. For Nen user, once they are forcibly put into the "Zetsu" state, they are no different from lambs to the slaughter.

Kevin canceled the Time Sphere and headed towards the meeting point with Chrollo in his arms.

As he passed by Hisoka and the other person, he took out a potion and tossed it to them.

"Consider it payment."

Although Hisoka's goal from the beginning was to fight Chrollo, that was Chrollo's demand.

For Kevin and his team, this need actually helped them.

He doesn't really like owing people anything.

Especially someone like Hisoka, it feels weird to owe him to such a pervert.

Illumi took it and examined it.

"It's not for sale; the label seems to indicate its effects."

[Healer Potion]

The B-Rank version of the Healing Potion is highly effective and cannot be mass-produced, so it is only for use within the Manor.

The main problem is that the continuous supply of materials has not yet been guaranteed.

Inside the building.

Machi and the others had already heard Feitan's account.

The entire space suddenly became quiet.

The Phantom Troupe members also fell silent, including Nobunaga and the others who had woken up midway.

Except for those who died, everyone else was captured alive and revived.

"Although I had long expected this day to come, I didn't expect it to come so soon."

Moreover, it was so direct, leaving them with absolutely no ability to resist.

"Pakunoda murmured."

Although they come from Meteor City, they lack a normal sense of good and evil and are extremely indifferent to human life.

But this doesn't mean they're fools; their actions will certainly be hindered and they will be punished—they were aware of this from the very beginning.

I just didn't expect it to happen like this, that we would all be wiped out in one fell swoop.

The idea of them being completely wiped out is something they inherently believe is impossible.

Unfortunately, that's just how it is.

Footsteps could be heard outside.

Everyone turned their heads away.

The Phantom Troupe members seemed to be expecting something, but when Kevin stepped in, their expectations were naturally dashed.

Their Chrollo was being held by the other side, and his condition was equally miserable.

"Chrollo!"

Pakunoda called out in slight panic.

After all, Chrollo's current condition can indeed be described as miserable.

Behind them, Illumi helped Hisoka in, and he was also in bad condition, even though he had received emergency treatment.

"Looks like you've never played before."

Basho watched this scene, stared at Hisoka, and scoffed.

He still vividly remembered how the other party had slit his throat when they tried to steal the potion.

Hisoka glanced at Basho and licked his lips.

"Yeah~ It seems I'll have to find more Little Apple to eat slowly and become stronger."

Although weak, her voice still had that sweet, cloying tone, and it was almost too sweet for Basho.

The perverted tone and gaze forced Basho to shut her mouth, and she couldn't help but rub her neck, getting goosebumps all over.

Kevin picked up Chrollo and threw him toward Phinks and the others.

Phinks and the others quickly caught it.

At this point, they were all in a state of "utter despair," meaning they had absolutely no ability to resist.

Chrollo looked at Kevin and the others, then his gaze fell on Kurapika and Pairo.

"You've come to avenge the extermination of the Kurta Clan, haven't you?"

These words made Kurapika and the other person frown instantly, but they did not lose their temper.

"Not everyone participated in that incident."
