Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 324 Meteor Street

Exquisite flow, powerful Nen.

These are exactly what Moro lacked two years ago.

But things are different now.

Just now, the formidable hardware capabilities that Moro displayed with a mere gesture forced Yun Gu to be on high alert in a moment of haste.

Such a dramatic change in strength, as if the person were a completely different person, often catches people off guard.

And the flaw was created in that instant.

Moro was simply using this change as bait, taking advantage of Yun Gu's habitual thinking to prevent him from responding as quickly as usual at a crucial moment.

Even a delay of just 0.1 seconds...

In that situation, it was enough to decide the outcome.

of course.

This is all based on the premise that Moro knows Cloud Valley is an Enhancement type.

The reasons for victory and defeat are so simple and direct.

But for Yun Gu, it was an almost suffocating impact.

This outcome far exceeded his worst expectations.

He stood there, stunned, his heart filled with turmoil.

Even he failed to see the key to Moro's victory, let alone Zhixi and Shiba who were watching from the sidelines.

In the eyes of the two disciples, they only saw their master being defeated in a single exchange.

Shi Ba was surprised, but also felt it was only natural.

This was because she had already witnessed Moro's formidable strength during the Hunter Exam.

Zhixi, who knew nothing about Moro, was naturally shocked.

The room fell silent for a moment.

Only a faint buzzing sound could be heard coming from Moro's pocket.

Moro withdrew his hand, thinking that Yun Gu should have realized the gap and given up the idea of challenging him again, so he said no more and strode towards the back door.

original--

If Yun Gu agrees to meet again next time, he wouldn't mind having another ring battle with Yun Gu, and then using "flow" and "physical skills" to compete against Yun Gu.

He felt that this form of combat would better satisfy Yun Gu's pursuit of martial arts.

However, most of the enhancement-types are stubborn; once they encounter them, they have no intention of easily backing down.

Since that's the case, Moro decided to finish the job quickly.

After all, he was in a hurry to see Kurapika.

"teacher!"

Just as Moro passed Cloud Valley and the others and was about to pass through the back door, he heard Xiao Jie's shout from behind.

Moro stopped at the sound and turned around to see Gon and Killua running towards them.

Seemingly because of Gon's sudden shout, Yun Gu and Zhi Xi slowly came to their senses and looked at Gon and Killua.

What caught the attention of the master and apprentice first was Gon and Killua's highly skilled entanglement.

Yun Gu, after all, was a disciple of Xin Yuan Liu, and quickly adjusted his mindset. After a quick glance at the two of them behind his glasses, he couldn't help but reveal a look of admiration.

The cultivation achievements that ordinary people would need several years to reach were accomplished by these two teenagers in just half a year.

Hearing about it is one thing, but witnessing it with your own eyes is another kind of shock.

Ji-hee looked at the more impressive skills her peers displayed, and a solemn expression appeared on her small face.

He is a manipulator, but his personality is more like an enhancement type, with a very methodical approach.

Gon and Killua rushed over and immediately noticed the unusual atmosphere in the arena.

But they didn't care, and under the watchful eyes of Yun Gu and Zhi Xi, they quickly ran to Mo Luo.

Moro looked at the two people who had rushed over and said seriously, "It's fine to drop them off here."

"what……"

Gon and Killua had planned to escort them all the way to Chimera, but they sensed the unquestionable tone in Moro's words and could only nod in slight disappointment.

Moro smiled at the two of them, then quickly glanced at Yun Gu, Zhi Xi, and Shi Ba.

Besides them, there's also Hisoka...

These people are almost perfect practical opponents for Gon and Killua in stages.

Morrow left the Sky Arena and headed towards the outskirts of the city.

My phone has been ringing nonstop in my pocket since just now.

Moro thought for a moment, then took out his phone.

The lit screen displayed Bisky's name.

As soon as Moro answered the phone, Bisky's furious roar exploded in his ears: "How dare you ignore a beautiful girl's call?! Do you know how serious this is?!"

"I was busy just now."

Moro gave a perfunctory reply.

Bisky, being so astute, could easily detect the perfunctory tone in Morrow's words, and simply cut to the chase: "There's something I need to tell you..."

"Is it about the competition with Yun Gu?"

Moro spoke first: "It's already over."

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone for two or three seconds.

Then came Bisky's slightly surprised voice: "So fast?"

"Well, I'm in a hurry to see Kurapika, so I'll make it quick."

"..."

Bisky fell silent again, seemingly having already anticipated Cloud Valley's fate.

However, she knew Yun Gu's personality too well and wasn't worried at all that he would be upset.

"That's okay."

Bisky shook her head and sighed softly. She never expected that Cloud Valley, who had devoted himself to training in the Sky Arena for two years, would still suffer a crushing defeat at the hands of Moro.

It can only be said that the differences between people are sometimes just unreasonable.

"Bisky, when should we have a game too?"

Just as Bisky was about to hang up the phone, she suddenly heard Moro's invitation.

Bisky immediately raised an eyebrow.

Good lad...

Her eyes flickered slightly, and she immediately switched to a shy tone, saying in a low voice, "You little pervert~ You actually tried to hit on me, but I wasn't ready yet."

"?"

This time, Moro paused for a moment, then silently hung up the phone.

But it had been so long since I'd seen Bisky, and hearing that familiar sweet voice again made me feel a little nostalgic.

"forget it."

Moro shuddered.

He actually really wanted to fight Bisky in her "Body Barbie" form.

It's not about a contest of abilities, but rather about seeing how far I can go with Bisky using my current style and physical skills.

Unfortunately, Bisky didn't accept...

Maybe he's busy with something?
Moro thought to himself.

………………

three days later.

Chimera landed in a forest called Thread Forest.

This vast forest is named for the unique spiral pattern that is present in all its plants, and even in the rocks and mountains that are everywhere.

Furthermore, it is home to many dangerous creatures, so it is rarely visited by humans.

Even the most experienced hunters usually only stay on the edge of the forest.

Thread Forest is also known as the Devil's Forest.

This nickname doesn't come from the legendary Devil Fruit, but rather from the fact that the red-eyed demon race once settled here for a period of time.

Following the precise coordinates provided by Kurapika, Moro quickly found a small hill deep in the forest surrounded by scarlet thorns. The thorny plants grew menacingly, their blood-red spikes seemingly containing poison.

Kurapika stood silently before the thicket of thorns.

Upon seeing Moro, the sadness on his face quickly vanished, replaced by his usual composure.

Moro approached, greeted Kurapika, and then began to examine the astonishingly large thickets of thorns around him.

Seemingly sensing Moro's confusion about the meeting place, Kurapika explained softly, "This is where I grew up. After much thought, this is the only place that is most suitable as the final resting place for my people."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Moro suddenly realized what was happening, and his gaze unconsciously swept past Kurapika to the small hill surrounded by scarlet thorns.

Upon closer inspection, even the growth of the thorns reveals a spiral pattern.

It seems that Kurapika built a tomb here for his Kurta people to house the Scarlet Eyes that he had personally reclaimed.

Because the Phantom Troupe has already been wiped out...

Therefore, for Kurapika now, the most important thing is to let his people rest in peace.

"Can I go take a look?"

Moro suddenly remembered something, withdrew his gaze, and turned to look at Kurapika.

Kurapika was slightly taken aback, not expecting Moro to make this request, and nodded, saying, "Of course."

The voice has not fallen,

He raised his right hand, and as his mental energy surged, a snake-like chain instantly appeared on his arm.

slam-la-

The chains moved with Kurapika's will, shooting into the crimson thorn bushes and carving a path through the layered, spiraling ecosystem.

"This way."

Kurapika stepped onto the forcibly opened passage and led the way.

Moro was about to follow when he caught a glimpse of a flower growing in the grass not far away, so he went over and picked it.

He then quickly caught up with Kurapika.

Soon, the two passed through the passage carved out by chains and arrived at the mountain cliff.

Kurapika manipulated the chains once more, clearing a space in the dense thicket of thorns that resembled climbing vines.

It was at this moment that Moreau discovered those spiral patterns on the rock face of the hill.

But soon, Moreo's attention was drawn to a lock on the rock face.

The lock was embedded in the mountainside, surrounded by a ring of faintly visible cracks in the rock.

Immediately afterwards, Moro saw Kurapika manipulate a chain, hooking it onto a lock on the rock wall, and actually pulling a heavy square rock out of the mountain, revealing a small opening.

Kurapika set the square stone he had pulled out aside, then bent down and crawled into the hole.

Moro followed him inside.

Inside the cave entrance is a long, narrow passageway, about fifty meters long.

Passing through this passageway, you arrive at a semi-circular tomb chamber.

The floor, walls, and even the ceiling of the tomb were all paved with spiral-patterned stone slabs.

On the wall, there are also lamp holders with a spiral structure, which seem to be made from the dried shells of some kind of fruit.

A candle burned inside the nutshell, providing light for the tomb chamber.

Deep inside the tomb chamber is an arched stone wall.

Niches were carved into the wall, and more than half of them contained fiery red eyes floating in containers.

There are fifteen pairs in total.

Based on the information currently available, there are a total of thirty-six pairs of Scarlet Eyes that are still in good condition in the world.

However, this data may not be accurate.

The only certainty is that the only leads on the Scarlet Eyes discovered through Kim's intelligence network are thirty-three pairs.

One-third of the eyes were in the hands of Prince Celidonish, the fourth prince of Kakin.

Moro's gaze swept over the fiery red eye in the niche, where the extra space was filled with flowers.

On the ground in front of the niche, there is a small stool.

Moro then looked at the small stool. He knew that Kurapika probably often sat on that stool, but he couldn't imagine what Kurapika was feeling as he sat there gazing into the eyes of his people.

"Kurapika".

Moro walked to the alcove, placed the flower he was holding inside, and said with his back to Kurapika:
“I have mastered the word ‘God’. If you feel it is necessary, I can use the word ‘God’ to help you strengthen this place, but you will need to inject your own thoughts to activate it.”

"..."

Kurapika did not respond immediately upon hearing this, but instead silently looked at the flower that Moro had just placed in the alcove.

The character "神" (god)...

Having worked at the Jin ruins for half a year, he was not unfamiliar with the character "神" (shen, meaning god/god) and was aware of the difficulty of mastering this system.

It turns out that Moro had been practicing the Divine Word during the time after passing the Hunter Exam.

Having received no response from Kurapika, Moro turned around and looked at Kurapika, whose eyes were lowered and who seemed lost in thought.

"do you need?"

He pressed for an answer.

Upon hearing this, Kurapika looked up and then glanced at his tribesmen surrounded by flowers.

If it were someone else, he might have to consider many things.

But if it were Moro, he could accept the kindness without any psychological burden.

Because he had long considered Moro as family.

"Yes, I'm sorry to trouble you again."

Kurapika nodded slightly.

Both Moro and Kurapika are the type who are extremely proactive.

After deciding to reinforce and transform the "Land of Rest" with the word "God," they immediately took action.

The basic direction of the renovation is also very simple: to add a facial recognition-like function that only Kurapika can activate, and to comprehensively strengthen the entire tomb chamber.

While setting up the character "God", Moro suddenly said, "I plan to go to Meteor City."

"Ok?"

Kurapika's eyes narrowed slightly.

Meteor City is the hometown of the Phantom Troupe.

It is also a place with close and complex ties to gangsters.

Since the Phantom Troupe became history, people from Meteor City have frequently come to cause trouble for Kurapika.

Kurapika was helpless in the face of this.

After all, although Meteor City is an abandoned place, it is still a country-level city.

Moreover, Meteor City has established long-standing business relationships with the yakuza, and has amassed countless weapons through this arrangement.

Kurapika alone is simply no match for the persistent retaliatory actions of Meteor City.

Now, hearing Moro say he's going to Meteor City, it's hard not to immediately think of the retaliatory actions Meteor City has taken against him in recent years.

Moro knew that Kurapika was smart; once he said something, there was no need for further explanation.

"They're just a bunch of annoying things anyway, so let's teach them a lesson."

Moro said this in a very calm tone.

But what he really wanted was to bombard Meteor City directly.

Kurapika looked into Moro's calm eyes, which held a chilling murderous intent.

This is yet another thing the other person did for him.

"it is good."

Kurapika still agreed.

The current situation in Meteor City is actually quite bad.

It wasn't just because of the Phantom Troupe's destruction...

There's also the reason why the ten old men got angry.

Therefore, in order to change the status quo, some members of the Meteor City Elders had the naive idea of personally forming a new Phantom Troupe.
