Hunter x Hunter: Infinite Growth

After a moment of calm, Pello's eyes instantly turned red.

However, the red in his eyes appeared darker than that of others.

It wasn't a bright, fiery red, but rather a deep, blood-like red.

Piro has the ability to use his mind.

The moment he activated his Nen ability, whether it was an illusion or not, Pilo seemed to realize the price he would have to pay for activating Scarlet Eyes.

Is it about lifespan?

So that's how it is. That's certainly a considerable price to pay.

However, Pyro didn't dwell on it too much and continued to focus on testing his Nen abilities in his Scarlet Eyes state.

The first step is the most basic eye contact.

The process became extremely rapid, and the marking was successful instantly.

The connection was established almost the instant their eyes met.

Pello immediately closed his eyes, withdrew his power, calmed his emotions, and exited the state of red eyes.

However, you cannot exit the state of being instantly marked as having "red eyes" and must maintain this state.

Kurapika hadn't expected the speed to be so fast this time.

Upon seeing this, Kevin immediately understood that the Scarlet Eyes state indeed had an amplifying and strengthening effect on Nen abilities.

The two of them made eye contact for less than a second, let alone three seconds. The connection was completed in the blink of an eye.

Don't underestimate this enhancement.

This drastically increased the danger level of Pyro's Nen abilities.

This means that even Kevin would have difficulty defending himself when his eyes are red-eyed.

Because the whole process was completed in an instant, unless Kevin knew about Pyro's Nen ability from the beginning and avoided making eye contact with him.

Otherwise, in battle, being marked with a single glance would be absolutely unavoidable.

Chapter 115 Reality Modification X So what's the price?

Pello opened his eyes again, his eyes still burning red.

Looking at Xing Su, he said, "I...I think I know what kind of price I have to pay to activate this state."

Was it an instinctive perception? Kevin had to admit that the Kuruta tribe held profound secrets hidden in their eyes.

"What price?" Rosana couldn't help but ask, worried that the price would be too heavy.

She knew that Kurapika and Paiello were determined to get revenge, and that the Scarlet Eyes state would undoubtedly be a powerful weapon for their revenge.

If you frequently enter and use this state, what should you do if the cost becomes too high?

Her heart was filled with worry, and she silently prayed that the price of death would be heavy.

However, what Piro said next shattered her hopes.

"It's lifespan. Each time you activate the Crimson Eyes state, you lose more of your future lifespan. I can't be sure of the exact amount, but the percentage is definitely not small."

"I suspect that the vague feeling of entering such a state might reduce one's future lifespan by one hour for every second.

"Moreover, I can feel my mental and physical strength being depleted rapidly. If I maintain this state for a long time, I may faint due to overexertion."

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.

Neon, who had been listening quietly to the side, couldn't help but widen her eyes and subconsciously cover her mouth.

The price to pay is far too high.

Kevin also fell silent.

Undoubtedly, such a price is top-tier, given that it comes at the cost of precious lifespan, and the proportion is extremely exaggerated.

What's even more outrageous is that you can't calculate how much longer you have to live. What if you only have a few years left, or a dozen years?

It's quite possible that you might suddenly die while using it; lifespan cannot be quantified, so the cost becomes unpredictable.

An hour has 3600 seconds. Entering the Crimson Eyes state consumes an hour's worth of lifespan in just one second, a staggering ratio of 1:3600.

This is still Parrow's current level of perception; his actual qualities will depend on his deeper understanding.

But Kevin also had to admit that, from a certain perspective, the price was not entirely unbearable.

Upon closer examination, this is undoubtedly a powerful trump card in battle.

When you can't win under normal circumstances, or even have to pay a huge price, going into a "fiery" state to turn the tide is a viable option.

It's obviously easier to squander your future lifespan than to die on the spot.

Faced with death now, or with a shorter lifespan later, most people would make a choice.

However, the power brought by this state comes at a price. If one gets used to this power and overestimates one's own strength, relying on it in every battle, then one is also accelerating the depletion of one's lifespan and is more likely to die.

Because of their red eyes, the Kuruta race is inherently a race with strong emotions, making them prone to falling into the situations described above.

It's practically overflowing with disadvantages.

To make this a trump card rather than a death warrant, one needs sufficient rationality and unwavering will.

This requires finding a balance, and only the user can grasp that balance.

It's very difficult; not everyone can do that.

At this moment, Kevin finally understood why the Kurta tribe, despite their immense strength, chose to live in seclusion and why their numbers were so small.

This fiery red-eyed state, whether called a gift or a curse, is indeed enough to drive this race to destruction in some intense conflict.

Suddenly, all my previous questions were answered.

“In my Scarlet Eyes state, the first stage of my eye activation is instantaneous, meaning that anyone who makes eye contact with me will definitely be marked,” Parrow continued.

As he spoke, he closed his eyes.

Kurapika rushed forward and grabbed Paiello's shoulder: "Wait a minute, Paiello, this..."

Piro opened his eyes and interrupted him: "I know what you're trying to say, but it's necessary, isn't it?"

"You understand, this is an absolute trump card. At the very least, we have to have it, and at the very least, we have to understand what it can bring."

"We may not use it in the future, but we must understand it thoroughly. It is both a curse and a gift, and we must bear it."

“So let’s be rational. At least for us right now, this is a gift, a gift from our people,” Pyro said loudly.

His words silenced Kurapika.

Rosanna stood to the side, watching the two of them, her eyes filled with pain, her lips tightly pressed together, yet she didn't know how to dissuade them.

She couldn't stop them from using this ability, just as she couldn't stop them from seeking revenge.

Pello closed his eyes again. He was still in a state of intense focus and needed to figure out all the changes as soon as possible to avoid paying too high a price.

He was well aware that this state would come at a high price, but he didn't see it as a curse.

For him, this was a gift, a powerful weapon to achieve his revenge.

This convinced him that he had the ability to avenge his people.

He was willing to bear the so-called price.

He reconnected with Kurapika's eyes.

On the surface, it seemed no different, but Piro could feel that his modifications to the other's vision had become more subtle, faster, and smoother.

Apart from that, there seem to be no other significant changes.

Is that all?

However, this is completely incompatible with the price.

After a moment's thought, Pello resumed his actions.

Kurapika was looking ahead when suddenly, a small stone flew out of thin air.

He knew it was an illusion created by Pyro, so he did not try to avoid it.

"Ah oh!"

Kurapika suddenly cried out in pain, took two steps back, and rubbed his forehead.

"Really?" he exclaimed in surprise.

The sensation of the stone flying towards me, the pain of it hitting my forehead, and the slight ache on my forehead at this moment all indicate that the stone is real and not a figment of my imagination.

Kevin stood to the side, watching all of this quietly.

He saw Kurapika look as if he had been hit on the forehead, tilting his head back and taking a few steps back.

And right in the center of Kurapika's forehead, there was indeed a red blush, the result of being hit.

Based on his past experience and rich imagination, Kevin quickly grasped the changes in Pyro's abilities when he was in his red-eyed state.

Goodness, isn't this getting a bit too outrageous?

Kevin was somewhat incredulous. If this were true, then this Nen ability would be far too fantastical and abstract.

At this moment, Pyro had a very bright smile on his face, clearly aware of how his eyesight had changed.

“Kurapika, look at me,” Pyro said.

Kurapika turned to look at Paiello, whose eyes were still closed.

Then he saw a gap, as if cut by a sharp blade, suddenly appear on Parrow's clothes.

Pyro's sleeves were also torn.

Kevin also keenly noticed this scene.

The cut marks on Pyro's sleeve made him widen his eyes.

Can it get even more amazing?

Immediately afterwards, in Kurapika's eyes, tiny scratches appeared on the back of Pairo's hand.

Suddenly, the state changed, and Piro opened his eyes.

His forehead was covered in sweat, and he was breathing heavily.

The eyes have returned to normal.

"Ha! Haha!... Hahaha!"

He was panting and laughing, his joy overflowing.

He stared in shock at his arm, noting the tear on his sleeve and the small scratches on the back of his hand.

"How did I teach you? You can't even control your own emotions?" Kevin's voice came sternly, his dissatisfaction obvious.

Knowing the price the other side would have to pay, he decided to intensify the willpower training for the group.

They must strike a balance in this.

Otherwise, they would all die of old age before long, which is not what Kevin wants to see.

Pello immediately stopped smiling, closed his eyes, and it took him a while to calm down and restore his eyes to normal.

He lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, Uncle."

Kevin just sighed and gently patted Piro's head: "I know, I've always known that you harbor deep hatred in your heart."

"It's normal and certainly something to be happy about to gain the power to take revenge."

"But I hope you won't let excitement cloud your judgment, let arrogance blind you, or let revenge affect your thinking."

Pello nodded and responded emphatically.

Kevin then smiled and patted Pello on the shoulder: "Alright, tell me what you've gained. Look how happy you are."

A smile bloomed on Pyro's face again; he hadn't been this excited since his clan was wiped out.

He said excitedly, "That's amazing! Although the price we paid was huge, the rewards were beyond our imagination."

He described the changes in his eyes when he was in a state of fiery red eyes: "Besides being able to modify what the other person sees, I can also make the modified false scene become reality. Of course, this is very physically and mentally taxing, and currently I can only change some minor details."

"But as long as my physical strength and mental power continue to increase, and reach a sufficient level, I will be able to change more of reality."
