Highland Colossus: Sudden Devouring Suction

The ground continued to tremble.

Heavy, muffled footsteps pounded against the plateau's surface one after another.

Loose stones in the forest kept bouncing, while dead branches rustled and shook loose.

The entire unfamiliar plateau lay beneath the suffocating pressure of an extremely powerful creature.

Gon, Killua, Kurapika, Leorio, Genos, and Saitama traveled together along the edge of the dense forest.
