Assault X Split Up

The moment that enormous beam of Nen Aura swept across the sky, confirming the enemy's presence.

Neferpitou removed the "circle" instantly without hesitation.

There's no need for further reconnaissance; the enemy is already within reach.

Neferpitou's Nen Aura surged like boiling water, instantly putting him into a state of absolute battle readiness.

Only a cold, predatory killing intent remained in its amber cat-like eyes.

The Nen Dragon that had been circling and dancing in the night sky, radiating the glow of Nen Aura, suddenly underwent a dramatic change at this moment.

The majestic dragon's body suddenly disintegrated, exploding in an instant.

Countless sharp Light Spear made of pure telekinetic energy, gleaming with dazzling golden light, appeared out of thin air like a dense meteor shower, almost obscuring the entire sky above everyone's heads.

They were accompanied by a sharp, piercing whistling sound that cut through the air.

Like a merciless rain of divine judgment, it poured down indiscriminately upon the inhuman beings within the Royal Palace, cascading down upon the entire Royal Palace below.

Even the most obtuse person would instantly understand upon seeing this scene—this was a meticulously planned opening offensive intended to cover the entire Royal Palace area and carry out a devastating attack without leaving any blind spots.

This will completely disrupt all the preparations the Chimera Ant have made.

And it drastically changed the battlefield.

The Youpi was flying in the air, suddenly widened its eyes in fear.

The usual elegance and composure on her face were instantly replaced by extreme madness and terror.

Without hesitation, he frantically vibrated the pair of magnificent butterfly wings on his back at the fastest speed he had ever experienced, transforming into a streak of Flowing Light like an arrow released from a bow.

They desperately headed towards the only room on the third floor of the Royal Palace that was dimly lit.

That was the king's bedchamber, and he charged toward it!

King!

The king is right there!

We must protect the king!

Meanwhile, it seemed that the dragon of light was not the only one manifesting its presence in the sky.

A scorching heat that distorted the air was approaching at an unbelievable speed.

Against the backdrop of the deep night, it resembled a crimson meteor burning with raging flames, trailing a long, fiery tail as it tore through the sky.

Its speed was so great that even Netero and Zeno, who had just landed, couldn't help but take notice.

It was a massive, lifelike phoenix, composed entirely of blazing flames and radiating power.

It was surrounded by terrifyingly high temperatures capable of melting steel; one could feel the overwhelming heat even from afar.

A suffocating wave of scorching heat.

Kevin.

A knowing glint flashed in Netero's eyes.

However, Kevin actually had an even more flashy move, one that he hadn't used in the previous battles.

Was the pressure applied too little at the time?

Not only Netero, but Zeno next to him also immediately recognized the newcomer.

After all, the Zoldyck Family had a deep partnership with Kevin's Pharmacy, and the entire family was very familiar with this powerful young man.

Neferpitou below clearly sensed the presence of this newcomer.

The appearance of that fiery Phoenix was even more dazzling than that of the previous light dragon, like a blazing sun suddenly rising in the night sky.

In an instant, it dispelled the thick Dark Curtain surrounding them.

Despite the destructive Light Spear pouring down like a torrential downpour, the Flame Phoenix's speed remained undiminished.

It transformed into a fiery red Fire Line could scorch the heavens and destroy the earth, nimbly and swiftly cutting through the gaps between the dense Light Spear.

Everyone could clearly see that in the center of the blinding, sun-like flames, a tall and distinct figure stood.

That's right, it's Kevin.

In the night sky at this moment, golden Light Spear fell like rain of destruction, and crimson Flame Phoenix burned fiercely.

Two completely different yet equally devastating lights intertwined violently, illuminating the entire sky as bright as day.

It presents a terrifying scene, as if the end of the world has arrived.

The excessively bright light even caused Neferpitou's cat-like eyes, which were adapted to darkness, to feel a momentary sting and intense discomfort, with large blind spots appearing in his field of vision.

But Neferpitou, now in a state of absolute combat readiness, had already reached the pinnacle of his will.

She instantly discarded visual distractions, relying entirely on her beast-like, extraordinary sensory instincts to lock onto the powerful and familiar life force within the core of the flames.

A deep, wild roar erupted from her throat.

Neferpitou slammed his legs into the ground, and the solid stone tower beneath his feet instantly cracked.

She was like a spring that had been compressed to its limit, suddenly released.

Transforming into a blurry Shadow Creature too thin for the naked eye to see, it charged relentlessly upwards towards the location of Kevin, the fiery phoenix in the sky, with an unstoppable momentum that seemed to tear through the air.

Driven by pure instinct, she subconsciously locked onto Kevin, whom she perceived as the greatest threat.

However, would others let her succeed so easily?

Just as she lifted off the ground, Netero's figure, like a ghost, appeared precisely in her ascending trajectory.

To be precise, it appeared in the air directly below Kevin's location.

Kevin instantly sensed Netero's timely interception without hesitation or verbal communication.

At this moment, Netero had already clasped his hands together in front of his chest, his body hovering steadily in mid-air as if defying gravity.

He wore an undisguised malicious smile as he looked down at Neferpitou, who was charging towards him like lightning.

"Little Chimera Ant, we meet again."

Netero's voice, tinged with a hint of mockery, carried clearly on the night breeze.

Neferpitou's cat-like eyes were fixed on Netero; she clearly remembered her brief encounter with this human old man a month ago.

But at this moment, the aura emanating from the other party was completely different from before.

That profound, concentrated, and seemingly boundless sense of oppression stirred up a storm in her heart.

How could this human's strength have improved so drastically in less than a month?!

They're like completely different people.

"That kid made me throw you accurately."

Netero seemed to be talking to himself, or perhaps reminding the other person.

In that instant, within the confined space where their thoughts clashed, time seemed to stretch out infinitely and freeze.

Everything became slow and clear—a strange perception produced by top experts under extreme concentration.

Netero's clasped hands moved with an almost imperceptible trajectory, casually clapping them in the air towards the oncoming Neferpitou.

The whole process was faster than the limits of vision.

Neferpitou felt a vast, boundless, and overwhelmingly terrifying power arise out of nowhere.

It felt like an invisible yet mountain-heavy hand slammed down on him.

Her speed and strength, which she was so proud of, seemed so insignificant and powerless in the face of this force.

She had no control over her body at all, like a stone launched from a giant slingshot, involuntarily heading downwards.

It flew backward at high speed towards a solid outer wall of the Royal Palace.

Unable to control it?!

What kind of power is this?!

Neferpitou completely lost control of his body.

She lost sight of everyone else.

Although she was not in control of her own destiny, her keen senses clearly detected that someone seemed to be waiting for her at a predetermined landing point.

"Bang!!!"

A dull, loud thud.

Her body slammed into the thick Royal Palace wall like a cannonball, smashing a huge hole in it.

Pebbles and bricks flew everywhere.

"Buzz--!!!"

Almost the instant she crashed into the hole, a sharp, piercing buzzing sound suddenly rang out.

Numerous visible, high-speed rotating, sharp Wind Blade, like a swarm of sharks smelling blood, instantly tore through the air and frantically slashed towards the smoke-filled hole.

The billowing smoke and dust were instantly cut and dispersed by these incredibly sharp Wind Blade.

The already dilapidated walls were further and mercilessly cut apart under the relentless onslaught of the Wind Blade.

Grind into powder.

"Get out of here!!!"

A shrill scream filled with anger and violence erupted from the hole.

Neferpitou managed to break free from the blasted crater and leaped out in a disheveled state.

At this moment, she was covered in dust, her clothes were torn in many places, and she inevitably had several bleeding wounds on her body from the attack of the wind Wind Blade.

She quickly regained her balance and cautiously scanned her surroundings, only to realize that she was surrounded by three people.

Long time no see.

With a calm smile on her face, Melusina waved gently, greeting the other person in a friendly manner.

On the other two sides stood Kite, with a stern expression and a look of readiness, and Kiy, with sharp eyes and a look of being ready to strike.

This situation was exactly the same as when they first encountered each other in NGL.

"It's you damned humans!"

Neferpitou was slightly agitated at this point. She was eager to get rid of the three people and go to the king's side immediately.

The primary target now is the king, but these three are blocking the way.

Clearly, these three wouldn't give her any chance.

Four more maid figures, formed from Nen, silently appeared around her, surrounding her like an iron barrel and Blockade any possible escape routes.

"This time, I will tear you all to pieces!"

Neferpitou's face turned grim and ferocious as he spoke through gritted teeth, his body arching dangerously like a wildcat that had been thoroughly enraged, brimming with explosive power.

On the other side.

Kevin, enveloped in the flames of his Phoenix, continued his thunderous descent into the depths of the Royal Palace.

His goal was very clear.

The Phoenix's speed far surpasses that of Youpi flies using Butterfly wings.

The scorching, suffocating heat enveloped Youpi's entire back almost instantly.

Even though Youpi could clearly sense the deadly danger approaching from behind, at this moment only one thought was burning wildly in his mind.

King!

He completely forgot about everything else.

He disregarded everything else and sprinted desperately towards the dimly lit bedroom on the third floor with all his might.

"They're truly loyal, but perhaps a bit too much."

Kevin's icy voice, like a ghost, had already appeared in his ears.

The scorching heat almost set the ornate butterfly-shaped down on his back ablaze.

Kevin, who had suddenly stopped moving at high speed, was still surrounded by some lingering, living, flickering flames.

Without hesitation, he used the momentum of his dive to...

A fierce, powerful whip kick lashed out at Youpi's waist and abdomen.

"Get out of my way! You damned maggots!"

At this moment, Youpi's face was twisted and ferocious to the extreme; he felt he had never been so angry.

It was an extreme rage stemming from having one's duty to protect others obstructed and one's Loyalty desecrated.

But Kevin paid no heed to his emotional outburst. The kick landed squarely on Youpi's abdomen.

With such speed and power, Youpi had absolutely no chance to dodge or block.

"Bang!"

A dull thud of flesh colliding.

An immense force coursed through his entire body.

Youpi flew backward like a kite with a broken string, completely out of control.

Damn it! Damn it, damn it!

Why?! Why can't I control my body?!

The situation encountered by Youpi was exactly the same as that of Neferpitou.

A powerful and subtle impact enveloped his body, causing him to fly backward at high speed against his will, making even struggling seem futile and powerless.

Someone's waiting for you, so don't run away at the last minute!

Kevin floated in place, a cold smile on his face.

He even casually waved to Youpi, who was flying backward and whose figure was getting smaller and smaller.

Only after Youpi's figure had completely disappeared from sight did Kevin turn his gaze to the main body of the Royal Palace below, which resembled a lurking behemoth.

Some Phoenix flames that had not completely dissipated were still swirling around him, and through the occasional glimpses of skin on his neck and back, one could see the magnificent Phoenix tattoo reappearing.

Without further hesitation, he plummeted downwards.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, the two-story roof beneath his feet was instantly crushed as if it were made of paper.

Immediately afterwards, he pierced through the interior space of the second floor and then smashed through the ceiling of the first floor.

Finally, amidst the rubble and dust, he landed like a meteor in the center of the spacious stairwell on the first floor.

It landed in front of the enormous figure that had been waiting in full battle array— Youpi.

"It's you!!!"

Sensing the danger and instantly standing up, Youpi's blood-red eyes were fixed on the figure that appeared in the smoke and dust. He immediately recognized the human he had been longing for and hated to the core.

That rival who made him taste defeat.

The dust was blown away by an invisible force.

Kevin stood there, casually brushing the dust off his clothes, his demeanor composed.

He looked at Youpi, whose muscles were bulging and who exuded a ferocious aura, and a playful smile appeared on his lips. He even waved his hand casually.

"Hey! Long time no see."

He greeted them casually, but this clearly ignited the other person's anger.

His response was a crimson, flesh -Flesh Blade Whip that suddenly tore through the air with a sharp, piercing whistle!

"Tsk, that's a ridiculously enthusiastic way to greet someone."

At this point, Neferpitou and Youpi have been successfully intercepted by the corresponding teams as planned.
