Zanka no Tachi Debuts in the Dark Continent X The Abandoned People's World Is Also a World That Devours Its Own
"Hello."
"Hello."
From height and appearance to the cell phone in his hand, the person was no different from any other human being Roy had ever seen or known... Except for the style of clothing, necklace, and accessories, which were slightly different due to regional differences and aesthetic preferences, he was completely... a normal human being.
In the territory of the Magic Beast, Roy encountered a normal human. Seeing the other party smilingly reach out his hand, Roy also reached out his hand, and at the same time materialized Asauchi, stabbing it into the heart.
"Bang!" A bullet suddenly flew by, hitting the blade precisely, causing the Short Blade to veer slightly, grazing the man's shoulder and slicing off a piece of flesh... The man frowned and took the opportunity to distance himself from Roy.
Why did you stab me?
"Because..." Roy twirled his sword, calmly looking at the portly middle-aged man before him, and said, "I can't accept being sold like a pig and then having to count the money for the seller."
The circle, capable of capturing the thoughts of others, was like a large bowl turned upside down on the ground, "listening" to everything within a radius of nearly two hundred meters... The moment Roy made contact with the middle-aged man, he sensed an undisguised malice deep within him... It was malice that treated him as prey rather than as a "comrade"!
"I don't understand what you mean." Frank Becky pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and then, with a flick of his right hand, opened his chest, revealing a miniature bunker. "Get to work, guys!"
"Hey! We've run into a God-Slayer... Boss, this is going to be big!"
"So bright... it's too bright... what did this guy do... why is the back of his hand so shiny?"
"Idiot, that's not light, that's Marking! Such a powerful Marking... I've been in the city for so many years, and I've never seen one more powerful than that!"
"What was the name of that traitor whom the bishop had specifically named for the last time... Let me think... Garcia... Right, even Ribery Garcia wasn't as good-looking as him..."
"Whoosh~" The small door of the bunker opened, and a group of tiny people poured out... These tiny people grew larger as they left the bunker, quickly becoming the size of normal adults. They held various weapons, both hot and cold, and stared intently at Roy. Every single one of them... was Nen user!
[Battery]: It can store everything (including itself) into a miniature bunker inside its chest cavity. Objects entering the bunker will shrink, and conversely, they will quickly return to their original size when they leave the bunker... This is the Nen Ability of middle-aged Frank Becky!
The "Curse" on the back of his hand was counting down its lifespan second by second... Without the group of people in front of him saying anything, Roy could hear their thoughts one by one with just [Circle], and his heart sank to the bottom.
First, it's certain that the continent beneath my feet is the real Dark Continent... Second, being watched by [God] is like being a streetlamp walking in the darkness; anyone who bumps into me can immediately recognize me as a "God-Slayer," and...
To Roy's surprise, Frank Becky was right... The group in front of him were descendants of the "Forsaken of God" or "God-Slayer," just like him; calling them "fellow countrymen" wouldn't be an exaggeration.
The difference lies in the fact that he comes from the land of exile, while these people... have lived in the Uzuki Great Forest for many years, indirectly avoiding the "tentacles" of the gods, which can also be considered a form of exile, only not as far as the Lake Center Island...
Roy astutely discerned the truth from the mind of one of the Nen user wearing a hood.
The "4K Party, led by Frank Becky, is hunting down " Abandoned People " as a pledge of allegiance to the [Storm Church], seeking to erase their " Marking " and restore their status as " Believer," which, according to Frank Becky, is to return to the embrace of [God]!
"Why should we pay for the mistakes our ancestors made, sir... We want to go back! We want to go back!"
A vague image surfaced in his mind: Frank Becky kneeling at the feet of an old man in a red robe rusted with Thunder bolts, holding his smelly feet and kissing the tips of his shoes... Roy raised his hand and unleashed a Flying Slash, killing a burly man who was attacking him. Suddenly, a saying came to mind... "The pitiful and pathetic often have something hateful about them!"
The Sun-Earring Boy decapitated the burly man with a single stroke, then stepped over his headless corpse, looking mockingly at Frank Becky: "Does the bishop's stinky feet taste good?"
Frank Becky snapped his cigarette in one gulp, gave Roy a cold look, and instructed the man beside him, "Clear your mind, don't overthink it, this guy can read minds!"
Without real skill, you can't really build a team. What do Sun-Earring Boy know? They're cautious about big things, but they're willing to risk their lives for small gains. What's a little bootlicking? He'd eat shit if you asked him to. As long as he can erase the "Marking," regain his "Believer" status, obtain "citizen" status in the [Uzuki Forest Samir Principality], and escape this rotten place that "refreshes" every year, everything will be worth it!
"That little brat's pretty cunning!"
The burly man died recklessly first, and Frank Becky gave a warning... Nelson, wearing a hood, quickly pointed out two people. "Katie, Torre, control them."
"Muto, Garcia's long-range attack..."
Olivia up the rear to aid the wounded...
"Everyone else has..." Nelson pulled down his hood, swiftly drew a soft sword from his waist, and charged towards Roy with mesmerizing steps, shouting, "Follow me!"
"Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh..." A barrage of Nen Bullet followed, shooting towards Roy like lightning. A soft sword pierced the air, flashing with a cold light... A giant axe cleaved down, creating a whistling sound... Attacks from both long and short ranges converged on Roy in an instant, catching the Sun-Earring Boy off guard... A chain of shadow, like a serpentine snake, snaked along the ground, locking onto Roy's shadow. Coupled with two illusory "Nen hands," they suddenly appeared behind Roy, gripping his neck...
Roy, seemingly oblivious to the clash of swords and the hail of bullets, watched as Frank Becky calmly toyed with a pistol branded with the God Script "—" Infinite "—symbolizing " Infinite rapid Nen Artifact "...
The Short Blade in his hand turned red, ignited, and burst into flames with a "whoosh," as he slashed horizontally—
[The Zanka no Tachi!]
In the blink of an eye -
A thin line of flame streaked across...
Everyone except Frank Becky fell silent instantly, as if it had been rehearsed beforehand. Their bodies were still moving, but somehow their heads flew off, just like the burly man whose head Roy had just chopped off...
Everyone, including Nelson who was wearing a hood, felt dizzy when they saw blood spurting from their necks. Only then did they realize that their heads had been severed by the Sun-Earring Boy's sword!
Then, everything went black, and like a dumpling falling to the ground with a "plop... plop..."
