Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Dia's words at this moment were actually a subtle way of forcing him to join the battle, since Vincent had never shown any sign of hiding his strength in front of him.

With such a powerful ally, Dia didn't want to let him go easily; she wanted him to at least intercept a potential member of the Phantom Troupe.

In reality, as a civil servant in name only, Vincent had the right to refuse, and no one could say anything about it. Who could force a clerk to fight?

But after thinking for a moment, Vincent replied:

"Okay, taking the initiative is also a form of defense."

Vincent didn't care whether the Flawless Sage was stolen or not, but he was worried that something unexpected might happen when the enemy tried to seize the gem, causing the long nail inside Isori's body to be destroyed.

The two, having reached an agreement, immediately hit it off and began discussing the capture of the enemy...

--------

early morning.

The residents of Pati, who had gotten up early, pushed open their doors with long yawns.

The first thing he saw was the thick layer of snow in front of him, and... an equally thick fog!

At this time, almost all the streets near the First Military Hospital were filled with the mist that Diya had exhaled all night using her Nen Beast.

In this situation, almost no one will choose to continue going out, and the same goes for the marchers. In other words, large-scale outdoor gatherings are unlikely to occur.

The second route of infection for Kuroro's fungus was thus cleverly sealed off.

Above the thick fog, Vincent stood on a gust of wind, quietly looking down at the street below, secretly marveling at Dia's terrifying power.

'He looks only 20 years old, but in terms of potential magnanimity, he already surpasses me...'

He watched as Dia's spirit beast continuously exhaled mist for two hours, during which time it consumed Dia's potential energy.

What alarmed him even more was Dia's astonishing circle. Although it was partly due to the fact that the Emission System was naturally good at creating circles, the radius of this circle was almost 70 meters.

Meanwhile, Dia, who was simultaneously releasing her Nen energy with her Nen Beast and activating the massive [Circle], looked completely unaffected, showing no signs of exhaustion whatsoever.

'How much magnanimity does he actually possess...?'

Vincent was secretly amazed, and his assessment of the Hunter Association's strength quietly rose by one point.

In the thick fog, Dia openly used her "Circle" to explore every inch of the streets and buildings.

The fog he released at this moment did not have the effect of suppressing [En]. The amount of Nen consumed by that fog was much greater than that of ordinary fog at this time, and even he could not release it for a long time.

Suddenly, a bewildered-looking figure entered his circle.

The familiar figure instantly roused Dia; his wait had paid off, and the Phantom Troupe had delivered themselves to his doorstep.

That's right, the figure was a well-proportioned girl with large black-rimmed glasses and a somewhat vacant look in her eyes—it was none other than Phantom Troupe's Number 8.

Xiaodi Murasaki!

Chapter 100: Little Drops - Murasaki x Commander's Words

Good morning, 7:23 AM, at Wolniu Supermarket.

A short-haired girl who looked to be around twenty years old was staring blankly at the shelf in front of her, her eyes revealing the innocent naiveté of a college student.

She was wearing a black turtleneck sweater and jeans, black-framed glasses, and an inverted cross necklace; her figure was surprisingly voluptuous.

Which one should we buy?

Little Di stared at the two rows of radishes in front of her with a troubled expression.

One row is white radishes, and the other row is carrots.

'What kind of radish is used in radish stew with beef brisket...?'

Although I do remember Kubi mentioning which type of radish they wanted, I just can't remember it.

Little Di, engrossed in the two rows of giant radishes, was completely unaware that a tall figure flashed past right behind her outside the supermarket entrance...

jingle--

Like the bell that rings as Death ferrys people across the river, the supermarket's glass door was quietly pushed open, and the doorbell rang crisply.

Along with the ringing of the bell, a wisp of white mist, seemingly drifting from the River Styx, also entered the supermarket.

"Hmm... fog?"

Xiao Di looked down in confusion and saw the white mist overflowing to her feet.

Why is there fog inside the supermarket?

Suddenly a voice came from behind her, which would have startled most people.

But the naturally slow-witted Xiao Di simply turned her head in agreement and said to the tall man who had somehow appeared behind her:

"I think the supermarket's air conditioning was turned up too high."

Dia: ?

Isn't it winter now?

Diya, who was about to make a ruthless move, suddenly squinted at the little drop in front of her, hesitating to speak.

'She must have noticed my circle...'

As a detection skill, 【Circle】 can detect enemies, and enemies included in the 【Circle】 will naturally also realize that they have entered someone else's 【Circle】.

The moment Diya noticed Xiaodi, he assumed that she must have already noticed his presence, which is why he stood directly in front of her so openly.

But now it seems he was completely overthinking things?

Suddenly, the little droplet in front of me seemed to realize something, and a look of surprise appeared on its face:

"what!"

Did you notice?

Diya narrowed his eyes and twitched his fingers slightly, preparing to punch her directly!

But unexpectedly, Xiao Di suddenly turned around and began carefully selecting radishes on the shelf, muttering to herself:

"Time's almost up. The team leader said each outing would be for a maximum of 30 minutes, so it should be almost 7:30 by now..."

[Going out].

Dia heard a word that caught her attention.

Going out means having a fixed base, which means the Phantom Troupe's gathering point in Pattaya City.

If we ignore her now and let her go back, does that mean we can go straight to the troupe's stronghold?

But he didn't know exactly how many brigade members were in that base.

If there were more combatants, he would probably have a hard time escaping unscathed in his current condition.

Last night's battle took its toll, and the massive amount of ripple radar in the sewers had to be maintained, plus the prolonged output of ripples during last night's treatment.

At this point, the amount of ripple energy stored in his body had reached an unhealthy level.

That's why, during the search, he chose the more easily detectable "circle" rather than the less risky "ripple radar."

In short, whether or not to follow them to find the Phantom Troupe's base is something to consider.

While Diya was still considering, Xiaodi had already picked up a huge white radish and hugged it to her chest, as if she had given up all hope.

'Hopefully this is the kind of thing Kubi wants...'

She then hurriedly turned around, brushed past Dia, and ran towards the door.

'Let's catch up...'

Seeing this, Dia decided to quietly follow Xiao Di first, at least to find out the general area where the other party's base was located.

So he subconsciously turned his body, trying to act like a guest who was leaving naturally, and then quietly followed behind Xiao Di.

but.

When Dia turned her head, what came into view was...

It had a pair of adorable, big eyes, and a vacuum cleaner whistling towards his head!

Swish!

A ripple flashed beneath Dia's feet, and the [Repulsive Force] pushed his body backward, easily dodging the powerful blow.

Boom!

The vacuum cleaner slammed heavily onto the ground, creating a small dent. A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Di's innocent, naive eyes.

At this distance, and with her attack being a sneak attack, how could this person have dodged it so effortlessly?

"You actually fooled me? When did you find out?"

Diya calmly tapped the ground, using the ripples' [adhesive force] to firmly grip herself to the ground, and asked in a relaxed tone.

That attack might pose a significant threat to ordinary people or even third-rate Nen users, but it was completely insignificant to him.

Neither speed nor strength posed a threat to him, and it didn't even bother to vibrate his ripple sensor.

But Xiao Di's sudden change of expression still surprised him a bit; the other party's previous behavior showed no intention of fighting him.

In response, Little Droplet not only sucked the radish into the [Bulging-Eyed Fish], but also unleashed a series of powerful blows without hesitation!

She had no idea what the other person was saying.

But after she brushed past the person in front of her, she had a feeling that the other person seemed to want to follow her!

So Xiao Di decisively took action.

As for the other party's purpose, she didn't care. Just because they weren't enemies, did that mean she couldn't kill them?

Seeing that the other party was unmoved by reason, Dia didn't bother to say anything more. If her attacks and abilities weren't so posed no threat to him, he would have already taken it seriously and killed her with a single punch.

'A third-rate Nen user developed a fourth-rate ability...'

'I was originally planning to spare your life for now, and kill you once we found the troupe's base.'

A fierce glint flashed in Diya's eyes. He leaned forward slightly and swung his right leg back. Then, his right leg lashed out like a whip, making a loud cracking sound in the air.

The instant the small droplet's vacuum cleaner collided with Diya's right leg, she instantly felt a tremendous force coming from the vacuum cleaner handle!
