"? Wait-"
Killua had barely opened his mouth before it filled with mist.
He looked up in shock. Dio's "hair" was spewing thick mist without pause!
As Dio activated his Nen Beast again, the mist that had begun to dissipate in the dense forest started spreading once more.
"Oh, almost forgot."

"Illumi still isn't strong enough!"
The sleeping Illumi suddenly shuddered all over, as though
