Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Chapter 340 Pokson, why are you only looking at × indirectly distributing gold water?

'Why, how did he find my location?'

Machi's brain started working at high speed.

She was truly baffled.

It was as if the other party had cheated; they found her location out of thin air, even from dozens of kilometers away.

Could it be some kind of divination ability?

The torrential rain continued to pour down relentlessly, soaking Machi completely and highlighting her exquisite body curves.

A look of resentment appeared on her delicate face as she gritted her teeth and tried to move her finger.

However, a bolt of green lightning struck down, rendering her efforts futile once again.

'This ability... is it a [Manipulation] skill? But what about that rain?'

If it's a divination-type ability, then it's most likely some kind of [Specialty] ability, which would conflict with the strange lightning strike she just received.

And this rain...it's too much!!

Machi looked at the overwhelming storm raging before her, which seemed to be a natural disaster, yet it seemed to have eyes and skillfully bypassed the hunter.

Just how much "magnanimity" does it take to pull off such an unbelievable sight?

The person who did all this—the hunter—stood there casually as if he were doing something as trivial as eating and drinking, showing no sign of urgency or exertion!

Just how strict were the constraints and vows he made to obtain such power...?

Suddenly, she saw the hunter move!

Dia stepped forward, intending to grab Machi, who was already unable to move.

Suddenly, he felt a long-lost vibration in the ripples within his body!

Is there danger?

Dia stopped abruptly, frowning as she looked ahead.

Machi was still desperately trying to break free from the control of the [green ripples], and between the two of them, there were only the constantly falling raindrops, and nothing else could be seen.

Diya narrowed her eyes, as if remembering something, and focused her spiritual energy towards her eyes.

The most likely unseen threat is that the enemy has used a technique called "stealth".

Using [Condensation] to break [Concealment] is one of the fundamental skills in Nen combat.

Sure enough, countless dense and intricate threads quietly appeared in front of them, which had been empty before!

These threads, suspended in mid-air and interconnected, formed an extremely tight barrier, completely protecting Machi within it.

'Is this your choice, Kakyoin Machi?'

Diya sneered inwardly, raised her right hand and released a small psychic ball, shooting it towards the densely packed threads.

Let's test the power of these thought lines first.

The Nen ball wobbled towards the Nen string, and at the moment of their collision, it emitted an extremely faint sound—

呲......

Swish swish! ! !

In an instant, a series of sounds tearing through the air rang out.

Like triggering a landmine in a minefield, countless Nen threads flashed with a cold light as they swept across the Nen sphere, tearing it to shreds in an instant!

'Its power is not small...'

Diya frowned slightly, noticing the astonishing speed and power of the telekinetic attacks.

Especially considering their extremely fine thickness, even the [Condensation] of ordinary Nen users probably couldn't stop these Nen threads!

With such a massive quantity added on top of that, even Diya's current [firmness] skill could not completely withstand it.

'But such immense power is only used to envelop itself, turning into a tortoise-shell-like barrier; how laughable.'

Dia shook her head inwardly.

Machi's ability development is ridiculous. As a Transmutation type user, she uses her ability as a Manipulation type.

【Nianxian】 is clearly a powerful tool for cutting down enemies, but she uses it like a puppet.

Of course, all of this could also stem from Machi's childhood trauma—the brutal dismemberment of her childhood friend Salazar.

That incident directly led to the emergence of terrorist criminal groups like the Phantom Troupe, which later caused countless tragedies.

Just like the first domino to fall.

For Machi, that incident prompted her to develop the "Nen Threads" that could stitch together the limbs of her companions, and also subconsciously made her resist the urge to dismember human bodies with her own hands.

'Damn it...this guy didn't fall for it...'

Machi felt a pang of regret when she saw that Dia had stopped before even touching her mind-space barrier.

Her Nen barrier had been tested before; it could leave marks even on the hardest steel.

When facing Nen users, even a seasoned Enhancement-type Nen user like Uvogin will inevitably suffer cuts and bruises after entering the barrier, and may even lose arms or legs if he stays there for too long!

However, the opponent was clearly extremely experienced in combat, completely avoiding the trap, and even immediately tested her abilities using [Condensation] and Nen Orbs.

This is a reaction that only a true master of combat could produce.

Unfortunately, Machi is not the type of person who is good at fighting.

The situation was extremely unfavorable, and the biggest reason Machi knew she was still alive was actually what the hunter had said earlier.

He wanted to use her to lure out Kuroro!

This is something she absolutely cannot accept...

What should we do? Where is the breakthrough?

Everything before her seemed to have reached a dead end, and a sense of despair began to grow in Machi's heart...

Suddenly, Machi seemed to see something move in the darkness not far to her left!

'Is that... the direction I came from?'

Under the moonlight, the outline of the moving object gradually became clear.

It turns out to be someone whose identity is impossible to discern!

The temperature in Meteor City is so low at night, why would someone be wandering around outside, especially in the direction she came from?

To say that someone accidentally broke in would be incredibly slow-witted; anyone could see the danger from the commotion here, so how could they possibly have approached?

Could it be that one of the elders happened to be nearby and came over?

A glimmer of hope suddenly rose in Machi's heart—

The hunter was currently facing her and couldn't see what was behind him. If the mysterious person attacked him from behind, there might be a chance to break the deadlock!

As the figure drew closer, the sight that came into Machi's eyes filled her with ecstatic joy.

The visitor was none other than a weary-looking Pokson!

She was staring intently at the hunter's back as he silently approached!

'Great... As long as number 4 can successfully ambush that person, it will give me a chance to escape...'

The flame of hope in Maggie's heart burned brighter and brighter, so much so that she overlooked the many illogical details in the scene before her...

For example, didn't Pokson use his ability to leave after sending her to a small town near Meteor City? How did she end up here?

For example, why did Pokson not feel nervous at all when he saw Dia, but instead appeared very calm?

For example, how could a hunter who was clearly experienced not notice someone approaching from behind?

However, Machi ignored all of these irrationalities in her eagerness to escape.

She just watched anxiously as Poxon got closer and closer to the hunter's back.

Twenty meters, fifteen meters, ten meters, five meters...

Under Machi's anxious gaze, Poxon remained silent, watching Dia's retreating figure, showing no sign of making a move.

An unprecedented sense of foreboding enveloped Machi's heart.

'Do it! Number 4! Why don't you kill that person!'

We've already gotten this close, why...?

Why are you just watching!

Have you really betrayed us, Number Four?!

Suddenly, Poxon's eyes lit up, and he turned to meet Machi's gaze!

Maggie was stunned. She saw that there was not a trace of urgency in Poxon's big, watery eyes, only a calmness.

That's the look you give a dead person...

"The area is huge; we can't get close from the ground. How about we try approaching from underground?"

Poxon's voice was hollow as he calmly looked at March and spoke.

Dia nodded and said calmly:

"If all else fails, this is the only option. It will just take more effort; I'll probably have to dig while simultaneously using [Zhou's] techniques to reinforce the cave..."

The two sang in perfect harmony, yet it left Machi feeling as if she had fallen into an ice cave!

'They...were all in cahoots! Kuroro was tricked!'

Machi instantly understood how her location had been exposed.

At that time, after Poxon took her to a nearby town, he said he teleported away, but in reality, he probably never left.

Instead, he secretly followed behind her, keeping tabs on her all the way, which is how the hunter discovered her whereabouts immediately!

'That traitor!!!'

March stared at Poxon with eyes blazing with fury, the rage in her eyes seeming to want to burn her to ashes.
