Hunter x Hunter: The Strongest Zoldyck

Chapter 48 Roy's Restoration

"Fica, can you restore my condition to what it was 5 minutes ago?"

Lying on his back on the deck, with his silver-gray eyes gazing at the crescent moon overhead, Roy softly asked the red-haired boy who had come to his side.

"Okay, boss."

Fica trusted Roy completely and didn't ask why.

He simply nodded slowly, raised his right hand without hesitation, and aimed the virtual roulette wheel of the twenty-four-quarters scale at the space above Roy, his five fingers slightly spread.

"Recall... Reshape and revert... Reshape time..."

"Five minutes..."

With a low murmur from the red-haired boy Fika, pale green Nen seeped from between his fingers, wrapping around Roy's battered body like a net.

A moment later, a humanoid cicada pupa appeared in place in place, replacing Roy.

The cicada pupa is light green all over, which is very different from the normal white, and it exudes a strange vitality.

*Smack!*

With his palms pressed against the cocoon's body, countless light green energies surged from Fika's body and flowed into his palms.

At first, he didn't feel anything was wrong, but a few seconds later, he found that his spiritual energy was like a torrent, unstoppable.

What... happened?

Feeling the immense suction from the pupa wall, Fica subconsciously focused on the light green cicada pupa in front of him, and a sense of unease rose in his heart.

How could it take so much mental energy to recreate the state I was in five minutes ago?

In just a few seconds, the boss had already absorbed half of his Nen energy.

If this continues, he probably won't be able to maintain his focus for more than a few seconds.

In that case, will this restructuring fail?

Inside the pupa, Roy had no time to consider the reactions from the outside world, nor did he understand Fika's concerns.

He was enveloped in a warm, soft environment, like amniotic fluid.

Countless light green psychic energies began to seep into his skin, muscles, and bones from the outside.

It seeped into every broken, torn, and crushed tissue inside his body.

But... it didn't hurt... he even felt a strange sense of comfort, like soaking in warm water, like being supported, embraced, and gently rocked by something.

He could feel his shattered sternum reforming, and the wounds in his internal organs healing... no... no...

It's less about aggregation and growth and more like a regression.

Rewind to the moment before everything began, rewind to the moment before he was injured, rewind to five minutes before he was injured.

Is this Fika's pronunciation?

That's amazing!

Loy, who was soaking in the cocoon wall, tried to move his hands and feet as if they were his own arms!

The state of exhaustion and weakness vanished instantly, and that wasn't all.

He could also feel the ribs that had been broken by Yumongaard in his chest recovering, not growing back, but being straightened.

The broken and misaligned bone fragments began to coalesce and solidify little by little, receding back into the periosteum, returning to the intact state they had been in five minutes earlier.

Click! Click! Click!

After a few sounds like mechanical gears meshing tightly, Roy's broken ribs were restored and looked brand new.

Along with it came his slightly injured internal organs.

In just a few seconds, he completely recovered to about 70-80% of his previous state.

Roy subconsciously closed his eyes, sensing all of this.

His consciousness floated and rose in the pale green light, faintly visible, feeling very relaxed and at ease.

He could even hear Fika's breathing outside the pupa wall.

It's very heavy... and it's urgent...

It's like running a marathon with no end in sight.

He knew Fica wouldn't last long.

But he didn't move.

Because he needs three more seconds, no, one second, no, half a second!

Half a second later...

The green cicada pupa suddenly split open, like a tree blossoming in an instant, with all the light green color converging at the top of the pupa at the same moment...

Then......

It broke!

Tap tap...!

Two crisp footsteps followed, and a shirtless, white-haired figure walked up to Fica's side.

"Thank you, Fika."

The calm and even tone that came from Roy's mouth carried an indescribable charm.

"No...no...you're welcome."

Standing beside Roy, the pale-faced, panting red-haired boy Fica managed to utter four words with difficulty.

Every word seemed to be forced out of his lungs, trembling with exhaustion.

His lips were purple, his eyes were red-rimmed, and large beads of sweat trickled down his face, dripping onto his collarbone and sliding down his chest.

With his legs trembling, he finished uttering those four words...

Bang!

He collapsed, powerless.

Looking down at the red-haired boy Fika who had collapsed and fainted, Roy remained silent for a long time before squatting down, putting Fika's left arm on his right shoulder, and helping him up. He then moved step by step to the second deck, away from Bolt and the two monsters, while simultaneously kicking the Kurta girl away.

A moment later, after Roy had properly settled his underlings, he turned around and resumed watching the battle between Bolt, Saen, and Yumongard.

He can only rely on his own intelligence to solve the problem now.

Given Fika's condition just now, he probably won't be able to use his Nen ability a second time today.

This means that his previous plan to exploit the bug failed.

Of course, even if Fika hadn't fainted, he couldn't have exploited this bug, because Fika's Nen ability has a clear and unambiguous rule:

"For the same goal, you only have one chance to reinvent yourself each day."

Roy had just received one treatment, so he didn't have a second chance for treatment.

This dramatic principle has already severely restricted Roy's plans, though he is unaware of it yet.

"It seems I need to adjust my plans."

Roy mentally crossed out the original plan and prepared to formulate a new one.

What he was thinking before was:

Let Fica reshape himself back to five minutes ago, fight one round, exhaust himself one round, reshape again, fight again, reshape again... like a perpetual motion machine, like a snake biting its own tail, using endless loops of time to grind down those two immortal things.

But the moment Fica fell, he knew that this path was blocked.

Of course, even if Fica hadn't passed out, he wouldn't have been able to exploit this bug.

Because Fika's Nen ability has a clear and unambiguous rule, he just doesn't know it yet.

"For the same goal, you only have one chance to reinvent yourself each day."

Roy was unaware of this rule.

"Since we can't exploit the bugs, we'll have to rely on our ingenuity."

With his head down and back bent, Roy paced back and forth a few times before muttering something to himself.

As he muttered to himself, a new plan resurfaced in his mind.

He was going to pull teeth from the tiger's mouth and kill the tiger!

Dry it completely!

Whether this tiger is Yumengaard, or Bolt and Saen, it must be killed by him!!!
