Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Even without his reminder, Qiduo was already on high alert, because the malice and aura emanating from ahead were simply too astonishing...

In the darkness, a malevolent and murderous aura wafted up on the wind, making the air seem thick and heavy.

It spread silently, compressing the space, like an indescribable beast spreading its countless intertwined tentacles and dancing wildly endlessly...

tread, tread, tread...

"Hey, Commander, won't this ability affect your mind?"

"Why do I feel like I'm getting a little... excited?..."

As the footsteps drew closer, Dia squinted. It was indeed Hisoka's voice, but it was also somewhat different.

It seemed to have acquired a slightly hoarse and steady tone, like... Kuroro Gahiso's voice?

boom!

A massive burst of energy suddenly erupted, stirring up waves of air that instantly dispersed the surrounding mist.

The timely intervention of the heavenly light from Qiduo revealed both sides at this moment—

Red hair, slender eyes, golden pupils, and a seductive pose with his hands on his hips—it's undoubtedly Hisoka!

He walked gracefully along the elevator shaft wall, step by step, like a noblewoman in a palace. He held a playing card between two fingers and covered his mouth, carefully examining Dia and the other person.

He suddenly chuckled and said:

"An interesting combination, like it has four arms?..."

"You're not much better!" ×2

Qiduo and Dia complained in unison.

In their eyes, Hisoka at this moment was a complete freak—

He was shocked to find that two extra arms had grown out from under his armpits!

Those two extra arms, one holding a dagger and the other a book, were clearly Kuroro's doing.

Moreover, when Hisoka turned his head to the side, Dia could vaguely see that the back of his head was pressed against Chrollo's perpetually calm poker face...

Chapter 80: The Battle of Parasites and Magicians

'Is this Kuroro's ability? This aura is so much stronger than before...'

Dia's expression was solemn. Judging from the intensity of Hisoka's training at this moment, it had already exceeded the intensity he remembered.

Not only is he far superior to him now, but among the people he knows, apart from a certain old man, only Qido, who has activated the [Yorkshire Clerk] and signed the contract, can overpower the other party.

In his memory, Kuroro had never used such an ability.

Did I still give him an opportunity?

Dia didn't actually regret it. To deal with Kuroro, you have to go all out from the start, otherwise you'll give him an opening.

Kuroro has never been one to care about the level of skill in his methods. His goal in fighting is to win, and he might use some unexpected methods to achieve that.

For example, right now.

Suddenly, Dia felt something pat her head.

He subconsciously turned his head to look, and what came into view was Qiduo's pair of emerald green eyes, which were filled with worry.

Clearly, she misunderstood Dia's solemn expression.

From Kido's perspective, Dia must be under some kind of strain at this time.

Seeing that the enemy has not only not been severely damaged, but has become even stronger, he must be under a lot of pressure...

'He's only been a hunter for three months...'

Kido's worries were not unfounded; even the most talented person needs time to grow.

Three months into her Hunter journey, she was still frantically memorizing texts while simultaneously developing her Nen ability...

In comparison, Dia has grown from a complete novice in Nen abilities to her current level in just three months, a rate of progress that can only be described as exaggerated.

To achieve such a rate of growth, Kido only knows one possibility—

That is to use extraordinary talent to establish extremely strict "constraints and oaths" in exchange for powerful Nen abilities.

In contrast, the "Shingen-ryu" school created by Chairman Netero is a completely different path.

Under Qiduo's worried gaze, Dia said nothing, silently turning her head away to avoid her eyes, and once again unleashing a powerful [Training] from her body in response—

"I'm fine, watch out for enemy attacks!"

Seeing this, Qiduo also withdrew her gaze and said nothing.

She had made a decision silently in her heart.

After this enemy attack is over, I must talk to Dia...

Everything that just happened actually occurred in a very short time, but Hisoka still managed to seize that fleeting opportunity!

Swish!

Hisoka flung out a sharp playing card wrapped in Nen.

The fog that had gathered again was torn open by a small hole, and the playing cards shot towards Dia in an arc!

At the same time, Hisoka, who was also standing on the well wall, moved and followed the trajectory of the playing card in front of him, quickly attacking Dia!

At this moment, Hisoka felt as if an inexhaustible source of power was flowing through his body, and his evaluation of Chrollo's new ability rose to a new level.

Just a short while ago, Kuroro, in his human skin form, climbed onto him without saying a word the moment he saw him.

If he hadn't failed to sense the other party's malice, and if Kuroro hadn't looked so desperate, as if he'd die if he didn't find someone to climb up to, he probably would have just thrown a playing card at him.

He has a slight case of mysophobia!

After forcing himself to endure the nausea and allowing Chrollo to complete the "parasite" act, Hisoka was surprised to find that his mind had some brief messages added to it.

The information appeared intermittently, as if Kuroro were speaking in his mind.

Based on that information, he roughly understood Kuroro's current situation.

It's roughly the same as Kuroro's current form, which can only be transformed once a day, and can only exit this form after completing the parasitism.

The so-called parasitism is borrowing the other person's body to maintain one's own existence, but in return, he will lend most of his manifested energy to Hisoka, while providing combat assistance as an equal condition.

After feeling his own manifested energy suddenly increase significantly, Hisoka naturally had no reason to refuse.

He didn't want Kuroro to die like that in the first place. Now he could fight with people and save Kuroro at the same time. Why not?

In fact, Kuroro had considered canceling his ability as soon as the parasitism was complete and escaping using Instant Transmission.

However, the range of [Instant Teleportation] is only about ten meters. Given the enemy's speed and the range of [Circle], they probably won't be able to run very far before falling back into the same state as before.

Those two are incredibly cunning; the combined pressure they exert would have likely driven anyone else to the brink of death long ago.

Especially that man, he was simply the most bizarre enemy he had ever encountered, although he had yet to see the true nature of the other's abilities...

He still prefers to face enemies from the three upper factions.

As for telling Hisoka to run away quickly?

When Kuroro sent it via nerves:

"Run!"

When those three words are mentioned.

Hisoka, who was already stretching, simply chuckled and said:

Are you being cute?

Kuroro immediately decided to watch Hisoka be beaten to death by the two men.

That's too low.

In any case, Hisoka would be the one to suffer damage while in parasitic state, so they could just wait until Hisoka was killed before running away.

He can also take the opportunity to observe the other party's abilities.

Hisoka wasn't unaware of Chrollo's thoughts.

However, he didn't care. He fled immediately and didn't see what happened on the top floor.

He was very confident. Although a threesome still didn't fit his XP, since his opponent had already merged, he could reluctantly be considered a single person.

In a one-on-one fight, he wouldn't lose...

Faced with Hisoka's rapid attack, Dia did not sit idly by and wait to die, but instead immediately drew her American-style iaido gun!

bang bang bang-

After quickly emptying the magazine, Dia threw away the gun in her hand.

In such a high-speed battle, there wouldn't be a chance to reload. The bullets he just used were ones that Kito helped him change while he was running along the well wall.

Carrying a gun in this situation would only hinder the battle.

In front of Hisoka, the white mist suddenly split open into seven holes, and bullets carrying silver electric currents shot towards him at extremely high speeds.

The playing cards and the bullets grazed each other, each heading towards its own target.

A ripple flashed beneath Diya's feet, and the [adsorption force] instantly transformed into [repulsion force]. The immense force shoved him violently toward the other side, the playing cards grazing past him.

Feeling the playing card fly past at high speed at close range, Diya didn't let her guard down. Instead, she decisively directed the airflow towards her eyes—

[Condensed]!

Sure enough, there was a long, pink, chewing gum-shaped spittle stuck to the playing card!

'A magician...'

This is one of Hisoka's old tricks; he loves to throw his chewing gum around everywhere during battles.

He also hid some of them using the "Hidden" skill, while leaving others uncovered, in order to confuse his opponents.

Gotoh, the Zoldyck family's butler, was tricked by such a tactic and ultimately died tragically at Hisoka's hands.

But the experienced Dia saw through his trick immediately and decisively whispered:
