Neferpitou's Desperate Situation X Hatred
The one who kicked Neferpitou away was none other than Melusina, who fell from the sky.
Melusina didn't relax at all during that kick.
After crashing into and snapping countless large trees, it kicked up a huge cloud of dust.
Even so, Melusina kept her eyes fixed on that direction.
This is an enemy with whom we cannot afford to relax even for a moment.
Griffin swooped down from the sky.
Men Qi and Buhara jumped down.
"Rescue them first."
"Melusina said."
Looking at the mess around them, you could tell how fierce the battle had been.
Men Qi and Buhaci each took one spot.
Killua was almost moved to tears upon seeing the reinforcements arrive.
He was basically prepared to die alongside Gon Jie.
Unexpectedly, reinforcements arrived at this time.
This is truly a glimmer of hope amidst despair.
To be honest, Melusin didn't expect that the scene she saw when she came down from the sky would be Kite, Gon, and Killua fighting together.
Kite's presence here is clear: they've come specifically to rescue Kite.
The problem is that I had no idea why Gon and Killua would be here. No matter how I thought about it, there was no reason for them to be here.
I knew there might be more than just Kite, but I never imagined it would be these two children.
But no matter what, saving one more life is always a good thing.
Men Qi ran straight to Gon's side.
Killua was squatting down next to Gon at that moment.
"Truly tenacious."
Men Qi couldn't help but say.
The main problem is that Gon's current condition can only be described as miserable. He has had one hand and one leg severed, and his abdomen has been pierced through.
Even so, we must keep one eye on the battle.
"Killua - you're not dead, that's good."
Gon spoke haltingly.
As she spoke, she could no longer hold on, and the eye that had been open slowly closed.
Killua's mouth dropped open, tears streaming down his face, as he looked at Men Qi with a desperate urgency, wanting to say something.
He quickly pulled out the last remaining vial from his waist, which he had been saving to give Gon a chance to prolong his life.
"Don't cry, he's not dead. The fact that he's held on this long is a testament to his strong will."
As he spoke, he took out a vial of medicine and poured it into Gon's mouth.
This is for internal supply.
A higher-level Healing Potion created by Kevin.
As long as you're not dead, you can definitely save your life.
"This medicine is very effective. Make sure you reattach his hands and legs properly, especially if they're crooked. If they're crooked, it'll be very difficult to straighten them again."
Killua immediately did as instructed.
Another dose of medicine was poured into the other person's mouth.
The combined effects of the [Repair Potion] and this powerful Healing Potion.
The effects were immediate.
The wounds on the waist and abdomen scabbed over immediately, and the penetrating wounds began to be Blockade by the spreading flesh and blood.
The severed arms and legs began to reconnect.
That's a really strong body; he must be an Enhancement Type kid.
Men Qi couldn't help but think of it.
They must have taken medication before the battle, but even after taking it now, they don't seem to be suffering much damage.
For a child, that's quite impressive.
"Hold on, it will take about ten minutes."
In any case, the connection will definitely be established before the effects of the potion wear off.
After completing this step, Men Qi turned to look at the center.
On the other side, Buhaci used only one [Repair Potion] to temporarily reattach Kite's severed arm.
"You've taken too many potions, and your body has been subjected to too much enhancement. You need to rest first."
The only reason I dare not use the Recovery Potion is because Kite currently has too many hidden problems within her body.
He was only using his Nen Aura to temporarily suppress the symptoms, and the hormones released from the long battle had reduced his sensation.
"That monster is very strong; we might not even be a match for it."
Kite said, forcing herself to speak.
Even during this hour-long battle, he knew perfectly well that Neferpitou was just playing around with him.
"Are there new toys again?"
Neferpitou emerged from among the fallen tree trunks.
Melusina squinted as she watched.
Without a doubt, judging from the Nen Aura she displayed, the Cat Girl in front of me was definitely not weak.
Judging from their apparent strength, they are definitely no match for each other.
We need Kevin to come in order to defeat them.
At this moment, Men Qi and Buhara stood in front of their rescuers, ready to fight at any moment.
When they arrived, they had already sensed the intensity of the situation and were determined not to underestimate the enemy before them.
Are there many people like you?
Neferpitou did not attack immediately, but looked at Melusina and asked.
She has basically put away her playful attitude.
Things seemed to be a little more serious than she had thought.
The king was not yet born, nor were the other guards hatched.
She is currently her only Royal Guard.
The enemy before her could only be dealt with by her alone; if she were to be slowed down, even for just a moment...
The remaining enemies are also absolutely capable of storming into the nest and wreaking havoc, if the Ant Queen's Resting Room is found.
The consequences would be unimaginable.
Her inner anxieties prevented her from revealing any flaws on the surface.
He still wore a playful expression.
Melusina looked at the other person and reached out to touch the Wedding Ring on her hand.
"Not much, but definitely not a small amount either."
Of course, that was just bragging. As far as Melusina knew, there were definitely no more than ten people who were at her level or even stronger than her.
That's what Kevin said anyway.
That should count as quite a lot, right?
"Really? There are so many toys outside."
Neferpitou smiled brightly, but only she knew what she was really thinking.
Melusina stomped on the ground, creating a small crater.
His figure suddenly shot out.
Regardless, we need to fight first to determine the exact strength of the creature in front of us.
Wow, so fast!
Neferpitou was surprised and immediately raised his arm to block.
That speed is nowhere near Kite's level.
"Bang!"
The wind pressure from the collision of the two forces immediately swept outwards.
Large amounts of sand, gravel, and ash flew out like bullets, scattering in all directions.
With a cry.
The Griffin flapped its wings, using the wind to temporarily neutralize the aftershocks of their battle.
A sharp hiss filled the air.
The two were fighting at a completely high speed, making it impossible to see clearly. They could only be judged by the sound of the air being torn apart and the Time Stop in their figures when they collided.
Killua was now completely stunned.
Is it possible for the top tier of talent to reach this level?
In Killua's eyes, Kite's strength was already considered formidable.
He felt that he was definitely stronger than his older brother.
Given Neferpitou's experience, his brother certainly wouldn't have lasted this long.
During the previous exams, although he felt that Melusina strong, stronger than his brother, he never imagined that Melusina was this strong.
He wasn't stupid; he could clearly see that Neferpitou was now unleashing his true power.
In this situation, it's already quite remarkable that Melusina could hold her own and even fight back against her opponent.
Kite leaned against the tree stump, recovering her strength.
Facing the battlefield ahead, which was barely visible, he let out a helpless sigh.
"It's unbelievable, can humans really reach this level?"
To be honest, Kite's exposure to battles between powerful individuals is limited.
No joke, this battle was the most intense he had ever faced in his life so far.
It was a pure, powerful clash of strengths.
The power it displayed far surpassed that of a clash between Nen ability.
He couldn't help but be lost in thought.
What if it were Kevin? To what extent would it go?
"Your body is too weak. Haven't you used any medication to strengthen it?"
With his back to him, Buhara couldn't help but ask.
All Nen ability should be built on a solid foundation, and physical fitness should be improved.
Those who are close to Kevin, especially those who have access to better potions, should push their physical limits even further.
Previously, pushing one's physical limits was a thankless and arduous endeavor, as it was far less rewarding than spending more time training Nen ability.
However, with the availability of potions, pushing one's physical body to its limits becomes the simplest and most practical way to increase strength.
Moreover, it can lay a solid foundation, and strong physical fitness can bring advantages in any situation.
And most importantly...
Buhaci, who frequently traveled outside and interacted with other Hunter x Hunter, understood this very clearly.
Since Kevin's Pharmacy opened, the overall quality of the Hunter x Hunter, especially their physical fitness, has visibly improved.
The intensity of the battle was similar.
If Kevin hadn't intentionally controlled the number sold, things would have been even more outrageous by now.
Kite shook her head.
Buhaci could understand.
For Hunter x Hunter, career and dreams are the first step; strength is merely a condition that supports these things.
Unless you're a martial arts fanatic, who would spend their entire life honing their skills?
Strength is a driving force for progress, not a goal itself.
"But I definitely need to work out more afterwards, it's getting harder and harder to understand."
Kite somewhat helpless.
He used to think he was pretty good, but now it seems he's still quite lacking.
The battle on the field has now escalated to a higher intensity.
Neferpitou kicked Melusina away.
Melusina, who had been kicked away, slid a long distance on the ground, carving a furrow in the earth.
"As expected, I'm no match for them."
Melusina had to admit that, in terms of simple close combat skills, she was no match for her opponent, and the same was true for the use of basic strength and Nen Aura.
I'm glad I used to spar with Kevin often.
Knowing how to evade close-combat opponents when fighting someone much stronger than oneself.
"You're still growing? You're an amazing creature."
Fortunately, she didn't have any special skills, and her fighting style was haphazard.
Otherwise, after one round of fighting, the opponent might have learned everything from you.
"Kite, tell me about this creature."
Melusina shouted loudly.
Kite spoke immediately.
These creatures are called Chimeric Ant, they—
Neferpitou charged forward, bypassing Melusina and heading straight for Kite.
So they didn't know the intelligence? Then we can't let this enemy in front of us know.
"I knew it. Reality isn't a cartoon; it really doesn't respect martial ethics."
Reality isn't like a comic book, where you wait for the enemy to reveal information.
"No, come any closer!"
The originally round and plump Buhaci instantly transformed into a muscular man, his hands forming palms as he pushed forward, clearly showing his muscles layered together, seemingly releasing some kind of force.
"Boom!"
Air Cannon.
He forcefully propelled a wave of air with both hands, directly colliding with the extremely fast Neferpitou.
Even the soil was blasted into a groove.
Neferpitou, who was directly attacked, tried to block with her hands, but her body was not heavy, and she was thrown back by the force of the attack.
The attack didn't cause her any real harm, but it did blast her a considerable distance.
This is such a hassle.
Why are all these people so troublesome?
The desire to have fun has long since disappeared.
Four faceless maids appeared in the direction Neferpitou had flown off from, seemingly out of nowhere.
They wielded various weapons and attacked their opponent directly.
Melusina quickly rushed forward and joined them.
Working in sync with his four Nen Beasts, their bond is incredibly close, a pure and unspoken understanding.
Neferpitou's face showed extreme frustration.
It's so frustrating.
She used to find straightforward battles quite interesting, but now she's being dragged along like this by Melusina.
Facing opponents who were clearly not strong but worked together seamlessly, coupled with Melusina's occasional attacks, she found herself extremely annoyed.
"Get out of here!"
With anger, a burst of malice erupted.
With a single claw, it tore the Little Blue creature to shreds.
A swift kick from the side sent Xiao Hong reeling from the same fate.
"You're from the guard team, right? According to your system, you're currently loyal to the Ant Queen, but you should be even more Loyalty to the Ant King she gave birth to, right?"
The Royal Guard have all come out. According to the information Kite just gave me, they should be nurturing the Ant King now.
"Logically speaking, there should be more than one Royal Guard, but since you're still the only one here after all this fighting, there are two possibilities."
One possibility is that there are two guards: one protects the lair, and the other, like Neferpitou in front of us, hunts down any enemies who dare to approach.
This is probably reasonable.
The only flaw.
It all comes down to the information Kite had previously provided.
The reason his arm was broken was because they were suddenly attacked here.
Kite clearly saw that the ant was charging down from the Ant Nest.
He could indeed sense that the other person's "circle" was boundless and irregular.
But when Melusina and the others arrived, they didn't sense the circle, and Melusina didn't even feel much of the danger coming from the Ant Nest.
For Melusina had experienced and tried her best to integrate into that environment on the Dark Continent.
Even without using circles, that instinctive awareness of danger is already etched into the body.
Although it has degenerated somewhat due to a comfortable environment.
But it hasn't degenerated to the point where it's undetectable to such a deadly enemy.
That raises an unreasonable possibility.
There is only one Royal Guard.
The other party has neglected their duties.
If they were real Chimera Ant, they certainly wouldn't behave this way.
The problem is that they have incorporated human genes, while the one in front of us still has cat-like habits.
The verification method is very simple.
"Men Qi, take your men and head straight to the lair. Take down the Queen!"
Upon hearing this...
Men Qi nodded without hesitation and jumped onto the Griffin, while Buhaci followed suit.
After resting for a while, Kite, who still had enough energy to fight, produced the number three Short Staff and came to Killua and the other person's side.
They can still fight, at least they won't distract others.
Really.
After seeing the Griffin take off.
Neferpitou simply couldn't hold back anymore.
"As expected, you were acting all along."
A slightly wicked smile appeared on Melusina's face.
She was always able to sense the good and evil in others.
Now, through her Nen ability and the final stage of their Betrothal, she has borrowed some of Kevin's abilities.
This perception became more pronounced, allowing one to subtly detect fluctuations in emotion.
"I'm going to kill you all."
Neferpitou's eyes widened, and he said fiercely, his anger radiating wildly with his Nen Aura.
She can't care about anything else right now.
Even if it means getting hurt, we must stop it.
"You can't leave. I may not be able to do anything about you, but you're not going to get away from me easily either."
Without hesitation, Melusina took out a vial, attached a syringe to it, and injected it directly into her body.
"Taste our Betrothal of love."
A gentle breeze caressed Melusina.
The two Nen Beast immediately changed their attack method, unleashing a barrage of Wind Blade that relentlessly slashed at Neferpitou.
Melusina's speed has reached an even higher level.
With the help of a gentle breeze, it appeared beside Neferpitou almost in the blink of an eye.
"Get out of here!"
Neferpitou roared, but he couldn't get past Melusina at all.
The opponent is faster now.
She didn't possess overwhelming power capable of directly eliminating her opponent.
If they were to risk fatal injuries to get past her, it would only hasten her death and cause the entire nest to be wiped out.
"The potion's effects only last for thirty minutes, but I think that should be enough."
Melusina was still provoking the other party.
We must find a way; we must stop it.
At this point, Neferpitou was oblivious to everything else; his mind was completely focused on how to get those two down.
A protective instinct ingrained in her genes led her to a desperate situation.
Yes, there is a way.
A thought suddenly struck her.
His entire body surged with Nen Aura.
As her Nen Aura surged forth, a being appeared, resembling a doll but more like herself.
And there's more than one.
The two Puppet Clones that were created flew into the sky without hesitation, heading straight for Men Qi and the others.
What monster?
This time, Melusina was truly shocked.
Under such intense combat conditions, he actually managed to construct Nen ability on the spot, and did so so smoothly and successfully.
And it's quite obvious from this that he copied her Nen ability.
But this did break the deadlock.
This is troublesome.
The reason she was able to fight back and forth with her opponent was entirely because she used her Nen ability to fight against this Nen user didn't yet know Nen ability.
Now the other party also has Nen ability.
Offense and defense shift.
Meanwhile, Men Qi and Griffin companion, riding Griffin in the sky, spotted the pursuers behind them and immediately turned back.
From the very beginning, they never intended to directly attack the Ant Nest.
The purpose of this trip is very clear.
Save Kite.
The plan to fly to the Ant Nest was merely to confirm the information for escape.
As the Griffin flew back.
But the two puppets didn't follow; instead, they returned directly to the nest and stood on either side of the nest's top.
Neferpitou glared at the human before him, his teeth clenched.
She nearly endangered the king's safety, which is absolutely unforgivable.
After the crisis was over, only anger remained.
"Don't be angry. You can go back now. After all, they are just two puppets. Although they are strong, they are definitely no match for you."
"And how can you be so sure it's just us?"
Melusina said with a slight smile.
"I'll remember you. I'll tear you to shreds."
Neferpitou glared at them with resentment, especially at the damned woman in front of him.
After leaving those words behind, it rushed back to its lair without hesitation.
This time, she really learned a harsh lesson.
Humans are so wicked.
