What is the Sacrifice? X Carrying the Corpse Back

Inside the Escape Boat.

Kevin sat on the cushion next to him, looking at the corpse lying on the floor.

The corpse lay there, eyes wide open, filled with terror, utterly silent.

What exactly does the Prince need for this Succession War Succession Ceremony?

Body? Soul?

Kevin didn't quite understand.

Since the corpse is right in front of him, if the Succession Ceremony requires a body, then obviously the corpse will not be allowed to go down the lifeboat and leave the area of Succession War Succession Ceremony.

Kevin believes that this Succession Ceremony demands more from the soul.

Furthermore, based on what he had just witnessed, he roughly understood what the other party's Nen ability was.

Or, to put it another way, what is the other party's Guardian Spirit Beast?

In that situation, he suffered the backlash of the Succession War trying to escape it.

The Tenth Prince died.

After death, what Kevin saw was the other person's soul being released from their body.

Then the effect of the Nen Beast should have been activated, with a large amount of Life Force, or rather Nen Aura, enveloping the soul and constructing a new body.

It looked as if he had been reborn from the dead.

However, the new body was replaced by Nen Beast, while the soul remained that of the Tenth Prince.

In other words, during the entire Succession War Succession Ceremony, it was confirmed that the Tenth Prince was still alive.

Because the opponent used Nen ability to revive.

The new body, carrying the original soul, returned to the realm of the Succession Ceremony.

Therefore, it can be concluded that this Succession Ceremony required the souls of the Prince, and perhaps also the bodies, but the bodies were likely just vessels to hold the souls.

For the sake of the Succession Ceremony, the corpse is not important.

Otherwise, the body wouldn't have been left in the Escape Boat like this.

If Kevin hadn't come here, the Escape Boat would have carried the body away on the vast ocean, disappearing completely.

"But judging from the Tenth Prince's behavior and expression just now, it seems that for a moment, she was not in control of herself, or rather, her will was altered."

Is the current Tenth Prince the same Tenth Prince as before?

These kinds of questions, which sound like philosophical questions, are not problems for Nen user.

Kevin witnessed the other's soul regain its body, so it can be confirmed that the current Tenth Prince is still the Tenth Prince.

However, because of the combination of the Nen Beast and the soul, it looks like Post-mortem Nen.

However, due to the existence of Nen Beast, it wasn't that extreme.

However, due to his union with the Nen Beast, the new Tenth Prince is certainly subject to some limitations.

"In that situation, given the obvious problems in the surrounding environment, they still ignored my presence and the corpse, instead opening the passage and entering."

It should be noted that the passage was due to the Eleventh Prince's Nen Beast ability, just as he had suspected.

The Eleventh Prince's Nen ability is the synergy between the two.

In other words, according to the opponent's Nen ability assessment, the Tenth Prince is still the Tenth Prince.

The Tenth Prince also rushed over without waiting.

In that strange state.

From Pairo, we can tell that the two have an extremely close relationship.

Is it possible that the Tenth Prince's Nen ability, or rather his Nen Beast, is the same type as the Eleventh Prince's?

Because the two have such a close relationship, is it also a collaborative one?

"Speaking of which, wouldn't you say this is the first time I've witnessed the existence of a soul firsthand?"

Kevin couldn't help but mutter a question to himself.

It seems that before this, he had never actually witnessed a soul with his own eyes.

This time, he witnessed firsthand the soul being released from the body, and through his Nen ability, regaining a physical form.

"So what should we do with this body now?"

Kevin looked at the body and couldn't help but fall into thought.

Does this body have any value?

Without a doubt, there definitely is.

This is because it is the body of Prince who participated in the Succession War, and the current Prince still exists and continues to participate in the Succession War.

Could the corpses connected to the entire Succession War allow Kevin to make contact with the Succession War itself?

Maybe.

With that thought in mind, Kevin picked up the body, opened the Escape Pod the Gate, stepped onto the wall beside him, and quickly returned the way he came.

He withdrew his Nen ability.

The empty lifeboats drifted downstream and left the ship.

Back at the landing platform, Kevin carried the body and looked at the old Hunter x Hunter still lying on the ground.

The other person was still unconscious.

Did I hit too hard?

Logically, the Hunter x Hunter should have woken up by now.

"Who are you?"

The old Hunter x Hunter appeared behind Kevin at some point, raising his gun.

The figure lying unconscious on the ground vanished like a phantom.

"Nen ability? It's so realistic, it looks just like the real thing."

To be honest, I didn't find that the body was fake.

It might be because there was no close contact.

But none of that matters.

"You can call me Kevin, the VIP guest on the second floor."

Kevin turned around, smiled, and said.

He then lifted his hand, causing the Tenth Prince's corpse, which he was carrying, to sway slightly.

The old man's face turned noticeably pale. Given his experience, how could he not tell that this was already a corpse?

"You... you killed her?"

In an instant, the old Hunter x Hunter believed Kevin was the assassin of the other Prince.

The only problem is how the other party found out about their plan and became involved.

"Where is the Eleventh Prince? What did you do to her?"

Why specifically carry the corpse of the Tenth Prince?

Did the Eleventh Prince run away?

He thought of the other party's Nen Beast; perhaps that was very possible.

Why do you think I killed him?

"With your experience, you can't possibly miss it, can you? This is the Succession War Succession Ceremony of the Kakin Empire. Why would you naively believe that these two Prince, as members of the Succession Ceremony, can safely escape this ship?"

Kevin noticed the other person's voice had turned serious and asked quietly.

Upon hearing this, the old Hunter x Hunter frowned, but showed no intention of replying.

"There's still a glimmer of hope in your heart, isn't there? What if? What if we can escape?"

Kevin said with a smile.

Of course, the main reason is definitely because of the Eleventh Prince's Nen ability. If problems do arise in the end, then they can use their Nen ability to go back.

With this fallback option as a safeguard, this is definitely a viable path.

Kevin understood, of course, but the other party clearly had no intention of revealing it. After all, what if Kevin hadn't actually seen the Eleventh Prince's Nen ability? To speak out rashly at this point would be a leak of information.

"You don't need to be so wary of me. When the Eleventh Prince used her Nen ability to sneak down to the lower level, the door was right next to me. I was the one who brought her back."

Upon hearing this, the other person began to seriously examine Kevin. After scanning him up and down, they couldn't help but nod.

Because it really seems to be true.

"I understand that you are determined to die. For Hunter x Hunter like you, once you are determined to die, you will go forward without hesitation."

However, I must tell you, although I am carrying a corpse in my hands now, I believe that when you return, you will see a new Tenth Prince, accompanying the Eleventh Prince."

Upon hearing Kevin's words, the old Hunter x Hunter frowned, his expression becoming very serious.

"What's the meaning?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old Hunter x Hunter shut his mouth, as if he had thought of something.

"So you've already figured it out? After all this time, you haven't seen the Tenth Prince's Nen Beast, have you? The other Prince's Nen Beast have all been revealed."

The old Hunter x Hunter looked at Kevin with some oddities, because the man wasn't even a Prince's Private Army, yet he seemed to know a great deal about the entire Succession War Succession Ceremony.

"Let me put it this way: the purpose of this ship is to reach the Dark Continent. As a Professional Hunter, you should understand that only a very small number of people on this ship are actually going to the Dark Continent."

"You should understand, right? My team and I are the ones heading to the Dark Continent."

"However, after boarding the ship, we discovered that it seemed to have some ulterior motive and was extremely dangerous."

"To prevent us from encountering unforeseen dangers on our path to the Dark Continent, we must nip them in the bud before they occur."

"For example, the Succession War Succession Ceremony of the Kakin Kingdom. This Succession War Succession Ceremony almost completely enveloped the entire ship. Although we may be unaffected, we are still on the ship after all."

After listening to Kevin's words, the old Hunter x Hunter finally had the desire to communicate.

"You want to stop this Succession Ceremony?"

"Stop? No, destroy. Now that I've seen this disgusting thing and it's appeared before me, it can no longer exist."

"How arrogant!"

Faced with Kevin's words, the old Hunter x Hunter couldn't help but say, "You must know that this is the Succession War Succession Ceremony of the Kakin Empire, the core existence of the Kakin Empire."

Although he didn't know how the Succession Ceremony was conducted, it could undoubtedly be classified as a national treasure.

A Hunter x Hunter said that destroying the very foundation of a nation's national treasure was no different from suicide.

"You don't need to worry about it, that's my business, and besides, that way we're on the same page, aren't we?"

"Otherwise, the Tenth Prince and Eleventh Prince will surely die. You can't possibly believe that these two children can win the Succession War Succession Ceremony, can you?"

"Since we can't win the Succession War Succession Ceremony, and there can only be one victor, destroying the entire Succession Ceremony is the simplest and most direct solution, isn't it?"

"This way, not only the Tenth Prince and Eleventh Princes, but all the children below them can be saved. Isn't that the purpose you all have, wanting to save something?"

Hunter x Hunter are such a group.

It's full of mavericks, but it's precisely these mavericks and their sense of self-respect that make Professional Hunter trustworthy in the eyes of many.

Countless incidents have demonstrated just how high the ethical standards of these Professional Hunter are.

Whether the Hunter x Hunter is a villain or a good person, they are all free spirits.

They are all people who are moving forward for some purpose in their hearts.

Once you issue a request and they accept it, most Hunter x Hunter will contribute their efforts according to the request.

All Professional Hunter are Nen user, and for any Nen ability to become powerful, it must possess an unwavering will.

Professional Hunter are Nen users who possess extremely high professionalism and Nen user far surpass those of ordinary people in all aspects.

Their pride and dignity make them rarely break their promises or betray their trust.

Sometimes, even after the client has paid and dies due to some accident, the Hunter x Hunter will still continue to take on the commission.

The most reassuring types of jobs are escort and bodyguard assignments.

Those at the top spent a fortune hiring Professional Hunter, and the Professional Hunter almost always lived up to the price, even paying far more than that in extremely dangerous situations.

For example, if the target being protected dies due to their own negligence, the Hunter x Hunter who accepted the commission might even seek revenge for the target.

However, due to the existence of Professional Hunter and their privileges, there are quite a few villains among them.

However, Nen ability can make people resolute, so there are quite a few kind-hearted people who can even be described as saintly.

Take, for example, the old Hunter x Hunter in front of me.

Although Kevin didn't know why the other person was determined to die, even with that determination, the other person still tried to use their death to help something.

The old Hunter x Hunter fell silent upon hearing Kevin's words, then nodded in agreement.

You're right.

"In that case, we'll be considered allies in name only. When we get back, you can keep a close eye on the Tenth Prince's current condition for me."

"It's quite peculiar, but I can tell you that the Tenth Prince is still the Tenth Prince. He's just been resurrected due to his Nen ability, and he's regained his body, though he may still have some limitations."

Kevin told the other party what had happened on the ship, then carried the body past them and walked away.

With a slight flick of his Nen ability, he concealed the corpse.

The old Hunter x Hunter watched Kevin's retreating figure, lost in thought.

The banquet has ended.

But almost everyone was silently savoring the performance that had just taken place.

At this moment, Melody was in a state of utter chaos, because his performance had just brought him to the attention of almost everyone.

Almost all the Prince understood how terrifying and precious the Melody at that moment.

The Melody must have realized this long ago.

Is this kind of Nen ability possible?

Kurapika was still deep in thought when he couldn't help but look at Biscuit and ask.

Because this Nen ability is too exaggerated.

Ask Kevin if he's been infected.

Biscuit wanted to know if Kevin would also be drawn into that illusion because of this performance.

"My uncle just sent me a message. He was also drawn into the music and was stuck for a full two minutes until something changed in the outside world, which interrupted him."

"Moreover, he had anticipated a certain possibility before the performance even began, so he was on guard; otherwise, he too would have been held back for three minutes."

Even Kevin is affected?

Based on Biscuit's experience, this Nen ability seems a bit exaggerated. What kind of limitations would allow someone to possess such an ability?

But it seems there were no restrictions placed on the other person's performance.

Moreover, it can even be transmitted via broadcast.

The most terrifying thing is that you can become completely absorbed in the music just by hearing it.

If you absolutely have to hear the other person perform live, then to be honest, this Nen ability is fairly reasonable.

However, since it can be transmitted via broadcast, it's somewhat unreasonable.
