Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

After all, he was only about two minutes late, what could possibly happen?

What he should do now is to take advantage of the power being turned on and take the elevator to the upper floor as soon as possible.

'Um? '

Upon arriving in the hall, Mitchell immediately noticed something was amiss.

Water was seeping out from between the doors of elevator number 2 in front of him, along with visible white mist mixed in!

'Enemy attack!'

Mizaston immediately unleashed a powerful [Train], and a yellow card instantly appeared in his hand!

Just as he was about to release [Circle] to investigate—

Boom!

A loud bang came from elevator number 2, followed by a dazzling sword light. The elevator door was instantly split into three pieces and flew out, while a large amount of mist and rain rushed in.

Two figures suddenly leaped out of the fog and came face to face with him.

Mitzuston frowned. Both men before him were heavily shrouded in [Iron], one wielding a longsword.

'Did they break away from the battle?'

Without thinking it over, he decisively raised the yellow card in his hand and quickly said:

"All violence is prohibited..."

His response was a dazzling sword light. Galo started with a zero-frame attack, first probing with a basic attack!

Upon seeing this, Mitchell immediately jumped to the side and prepared to finish his lines.

After all, his ability requires him to first issue a warning and reveal his identity before it can take effect after flipping the card.

Before that, the enemy's attacks could not be stopped.

But at that very moment—

Swish!

A strange figure suddenly appeared in front of him, and Mitchellston was taken aback.

The person in front of me was dressed in a soldier's uniform and looked extremely miserable. Not only was his whole body soaked in blood, but there was also a clear bullet hole in his waist.

His left hand hung limply at his side, with a deep horizontal cut on it, exposing muscle fibers and bare bone, clearly indicating that someone had almost severed his left hand.

At the same time, he had a man dressed in the same soldier's uniform who looked like he was about to die tucked into his waistband, making him look even more miserable.

'A soldier? No, a stranger…'

Before Mizaston could even confirm the identity of the figure that had suddenly appeared before him, he saw that figure suddenly fly up without warning!

"Well!"

Kuroro had barely regained his footing and was still relieved that the random teleportation hadn't sent him to some strange place when a tremendous force suddenly struck him from behind, sending him flying!

"Um?!"

At the elevator entrance, Jialuo, who had subconsciously unleashed a sword strike, suddenly saw a figure appear in front of him and be violently knocked away by his sword strike!

As everyone froze in shock, Kuroro's figure flew out like a kite with a broken string, finally landing a short distance away like a tattered sack...

Chapter 86 Accidentally Injuring a Teammate × Ability Activation

The unexpected intruder helped him block a sword strike that he wouldn't have been able to hit anyway...

Mitchellston's eye twitched, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

The guy who flew out didn't look like he could continue fighting, while there were two lively enemies right in front of him!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Jialuo quickly raised her sword and was about to swing it!

Mitchellston was already prepared, decisively raised the card again, and delivered his lines as quickly as possible:

"All violence is forbidden. I am a criminal hunter with special investigative powers!"

At the same time, the card in his hand was about to be flipped over.

boom!

Another loud bang came from the entrance of elevator number 2!

A tall figure suddenly burst through the mist. Without pausing, his wide eyes stared straight at Kuroro, who was getting up not far away!

It was Dia and the Qido in his hand!

Although I don't know why Kuroro suddenly ended up lying there, the principle remains the same—

We should press on with our remaining strength to pursue the fleeing enemy!

"Drink!"

He raised his right arm high and threw the Qiduo in his hand at the two people in the distance!

This was the tactic they discussed during their landing: using Dia's incredible strength to throw Qiduo out, they could approach the enemy even faster than running on the ground.

For a specific example, you can refer to the way the giant throws its brother in the well-known game Plants vs. the Dead.

At the same time, Dia, of course, wouldn't stand still. He suddenly bent his knees, and the next moment—

boom!

Like a spring that has been compressed to its limit, Diya suddenly released her power, and instantly transformed into a blur as she flew out, the concrete ground beneath her feet exploding with a deafening roar!

but.

His peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of Mizaston's figure and a smear of yellow in his hand, and an ominous feeling instantly rose in his heart:

'Oh no, what if it happens to coincide with Miya's ability activating?!'

Sure enough, the card in Mitchellston's hand flipped over, revealing a red cross!

"Restrained!"

Clang!

An invisible prison of mental energy descended instantly, enveloping the three people.

These are Gara, who swung her longsword but struck an invisible wall; Dia, who was forced to stop halfway through her charge; and Qiduo, who was unable to move in mid-air...

When Mizeston saw the bound Kido and Dia, he immediately realized that he had accidentally injured his teammates.

'This is troublesome...'

Once the restraining ability is used, it can only be automatically released after a certain period of time.

Fortunately, judging from their behavior, they shouldn't be restrained for long.

Mitchell looked in the direction they were heading.

Their target was probably the person who was getting up not far away; fortunately, the person seemed to be recovering their strength.

If the opponent tries to escape, he will activate his ability again to restrict the opponent's movements!

Noticing Mizeston's cold gaze, Kuroro, who had been injured again, immediately abandoned the idea of ​​running away and silently began counting the cooldown time of [Instant Teleport].

'Dia and the others should be able to regain their mobility before that person stands up.'

Mizziston was thinking calmly.

Suddenly, a still-moving figure caught his attention.

Jack, who had been silently observing Galo for a long time, suddenly spoke up:

"Sir, we are just ordinary people who accidentally entered the building, and we mean no harm!"

Completely unconvincing statements.

Mitchell didn't bother to discern whether the other person's words were true or false; that would be a complete waste of time.

The card in his hand instantly turned blue, and as Mitchell raised it, he asked directly:

"I am a criminal hunter with special investigative powers! Answer my questions: Who are you, and what is your purpose here?"

Mizziston's "Secret Chamber Trial" can materialize three-color cards, which can restrict the opponent's actions by showing the opponent cards of the three colors.

Blue can force the other party to appear in court, yellow can restrain the other party, and red can force the other party to leave the courtroom.

At this moment, he activated the ability of the blue card [Courtroom]. During the courtroom session, the person being questioned must answer his questions truthfully, or they will be bound to the spot.

If the person being questioned does not answer for more than 3 seconds, it will be considered a refusal to answer, and they will also experience the effect of restraint.

Therefore, Mitchell never judged whether the enemy was telling the truth or not; he simply asked directly.

But to Mitzuston's surprise, a strange smile suddenly appeared on the enemy's face, and without even a second's hesitation, he hastily gave his answer:

"I am Jack, and this is my brother Galo from Lupo. We have come here today to steal the [Flawless Sage]."

The enemy's decisive honesty made Mitchell frown, thinking:

'No, he didn't resist being questioned at all, and the fact that the other party wasn't restrained suggests that what they said was true.'

'If that's the case, there must be a reason for the other party's honesty. Is it a condition for activating their ability?'

Realizing something was wrong, Mitchellston decisively abandoned the idea of ​​asking any further questions.

The best option at this point is to wait for Keido and Dia to be freed from their restraints, during which time Mizeston's abilities will remain in effect.

Anyone who dares to launch an attack, whether he or anyone else, will be bounced back and restrained in place.

Upon seeing this, Jack narrowed his eyes, realizing that the other party must be a master with a deep understanding of Nen abilities, and had easily determined the conditions for activating his ability.

but……

"Your three questions have been answered. Now, it's time to answer one of my questions truthfully, since that's in line with the principles of trading, isn't it?"

Jack lowered his eyes and began to ponder:

'When [Merchant Instinct] is activated, it will select a mark host in order when facing multiple traders.'

In the case of "asking," since only one question can be asked, the first person to ask a question will be given priority—that is, the red-haired guy lying on the ground.

'When the first trader is unable to pay the price, the [Merchant's Mark] will be passed on to the second trader. If the second trader is also unable to pay, a forced reselection will be made with the nearest non-ally capable individual. If the first trader is capable of paying but forcibly refuses to pay using their ability, the forced selection phase will begin directly.'
