Hunter x Hunter: Card Master, the Strongest in the World

Seeing that Lynn had no objection, Jin took off her clothes and gently placed them aside.

Facing an enemy of this caliber, it's already worthwhile for him to take care of his appearance and ensure that his clothing doesn't hinder his combat.

For example, in the original work, Chairman Netero shaved off his precious beard before challenging the Chimera Ant King, just so as not to affect his battle.

In battles between S-class opponents, any slight influence could be the key to victory or defeat.

Of course, it's unnecessary to go to that extent with gold and silver ingots.

He took off his protective suit and other clothing for two reasons: first, to better extend his movements, and second, to prevent his clothes from getting damaged.

After taking off the large brown robe, the white training clothes underneath the gold were completely revealed.

Although the training clothes are white, you can still tell from the details that Jin has been wearing them for quite some time.

The slightly fitted training robe accentuated Jin's well-defined muscles.

Although not as extravagant as gold or silver ingots, others could still see that beneath Jin's strong muscles lay boundless power.

After taking a deep breath, all of Jin's spiritual energy vanished, as if it had all been absorbed into his body.

A moment later, a surge of energy several times larger than Jin's burst forth from his body, like a dam releasing water after a flood.

The immense spiritual energy, like a vast ocean, surged outwards from the center of the metal formation in waves.

Chapter 197 Two S-! Trying to outmaneuver me? (A long chapter of 10,000 words)

Some time ago.

On the other side of the labyrinth city, an eighty-person team composed of members from the Ferry Hall and the Ancient Ganyu Kingdom is exploring.

There weren't originally so many people, but after the news spread, the three forces other than Lynn and his group all sent more people.

Among them, the Ferry Terminal and the Kingdom of Ganyu have reached a cooperation agreement to take joint action, forming a team of over a hundred people.

Their goal is not only the magical realm itself, but also the [Hope] herb that may appear within the labyrinth!

This is a very valuable opportunity for humanity.

Ancient labyrinthine cities were dangerous, but what was even more terrifying was the losses incurred on the journey from the six continents to the destination; it could be said that 80% of the manpower perished along the way.

Now that we've finally encountered a magical realm containing a labyrinthine city, without suffering any losses along the way, we should naturally seize the opportunity.

However, this elite force composed of pure Nen users has encountered a series of crises within the labyrinth city, and its numbers are dwindling.

The number of people dropped from over a hundred to eighty, and the rate of casualties accelerated as the mission progressed deeper into the area.

The sky was dark.

Near the core of the labyrinthine city, the buildings, varying in height and shape like building blocks, form "passages" of different widths, and the main force is advancing deeper into the city.

The operation of a team of 100 people was too large a commotion, so it was divided into four smaller teams that cooperated with the main team.

The first squad is responsible for the northeast direction, the second and third squads are responsible for the due east direction, and the fourth squad is responsible for the southeast direction. The main force is positioned at the rear to provide support at any time and advance steadily.

Like Jin, they also believed that this demonic realm originated from the Dark Continent, which is why they acted with even greater caution.

Northeast, First Squad.

"what!"

A heart-wrenching wail suddenly rang out; it must have been the result of some unspeakable torture to produce such a horrifying cry.

A soldier on the left front of the column was seen to have "split into pieces," just like Buggy who had eaten the Split-in-a-Bone Fruit.

The difference is that Bucky acted voluntarily and harmlessly, while the soldier was passively torn apart.

His body was sliced ​​apart by a strange and sharp gust of wind.

First, it was cut in half at the waist, then blood streaks appeared on the neck, arms, and legs, the body was scattered and lay in a pool of blood.

A living person just died like that!

Upon seeing this, the other soldiers present felt a chill run down their spines and were filled with fear.

But this only exacerbated the danger.

Before them was a strange plant, about half a person's height, curved and hard like a sickle for harvesting wheat, which suddenly swayed and stirred up a powerful blade of energy.

One after another, streaks of sword energy swept past, tearing several people to pieces.

With the situation unclear, the remaining members of the first squad had no choice but to retreat and report to the main team, designating this passage as a no-entry road.

On the other side, due east of where the second and third squads are located.

"Ok?"

A bald soldier in the front row suddenly stopped, gripping his weapon tightly. It looked like an AK47 and was ready to fire at any moment if anything seemed amiss.

Although the team is full of Nen users, it doesn't mean that everyone is an A-rank powerhouse.

Apart from a few A-level soldiers, most are B-level or C-level.

Some people don't know advanced application techniques, while others only know some advanced application techniques. So for these people, it's better to use Nen weapons than to fight normally, as they are more lethal.

Although some soldiers may not be very strong individually, with the help of technology and teamwork, they can still exert considerable combat power.

Under the tense gaze of the bald soldier, a rabbit hopped out from around the corner ahead.

Oh, it's just a rabbit.

The bald soldier breathed a sigh of relief; what stood before him was nothing more than an ordinary-looking rabbit.

The rabbit is about the same size as the pet rabbits commonly found on the six continents, about the height of a forearm.

It has inconspicuous gray fur and a pair of bright red eyes, staring at the human in front of it, tilting its head slightly.

Having seen so many strange and bizarre creatures, the bald soldier was momentarily stunned by the appearance of such an adorable rabbit.

In this abnormal place, a normal creature appeared, which made people feel that something was wrong.

Something is wrong!

The bald soldier's pupils suddenly contracted, and he instinctively wanted to back away.

Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that this rabbit is definitely not simple!

In an instant, the rabbit's small body, like a lump of clay, began to throb and stretch rapidly!

The original petite appearance was gone forever, and the little rabbit grew at an explosive speed in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, the little rabbit transformed into a huge and robust giant rabbit!

The large rabbit stood on its feet with its arms hanging naturally at its sides, and a huge rabbit head revealed a human-like, bloodthirsty smile.

His body was very strong and muscular, with bulging muscles everywhere, making it clear at a glance that he was full of immense power!

A chilling killing intent emanated from it, and for a moment even the air seemed to freeze, making it difficult to breathe.

Unexpectedly, this rabbit was in disguise; its actual size was much larger than the real thing.

What was originally a pet rabbit only the height of an adult's forearm was instantly revealed to be its true form.

He is now about two or three meters tall and has a body full of strong, muscular muscles, which can easily unleash explosive power.

His size increased several times over!

The rabbit-man grinned, revealing sharp fangs, and its scarlet pupils were filled with murderous intent. Its muscles twitched rhythmically.

Suddenly, the rabbit-man swung out his palm, as big as a palm fan, and slapped it hard at the bald soldier, instantly creating a series of stinging gusts of wind!

Before the bald soldier could react, his entire body was blasted away to the other side like a cannonball!

The Nen weapon in his hand fell to the ground and was crushed into pieces by the rabbitman's powerful stomping, creating a large crater in the ground!

Peng!

The bald soldier was slapped straight into the building wall, leaving him covered in blood and gore.

For a moment, the field fell into a deathly silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The other soldiers stared wide-eyed at the drastically changed rabbit-man, finding it even harder to accept the scene before them.

If they had to choose one, they would still prefer the cute little bunny.

really!

Nothing in the Dark Continent is simple!

The bald soldier was already being careful enough, but the difference in strength prevented him from reacting in time.

Even so, death was the inevitable end; Heaven would not grant a second life because of the unfairness of power.

In this world, when you decide to step into the unknown, you must be prepared to die, for life and death are separated by only a moment!

Peng!

A giant axe swept past at lightning speed, and the rabbit-man who was eyeing them menacingly just a second ago was cleanly and decisively beheaded by the giant axe the next second!

The enormous rabbit head shot into the sky, then crashed heavily to the ground.

The giant axe, as if possessing a spirit, swirled back into its master's hand.

"Don't stand there like idiots! Do you want to die?!"

Leo, one of the team leaders, walked from the back to the front and angrily rebuked the soldiers.

"Where am I?!"

"Don't underestimate this place just because it's called the Demon Realm! This is part of the Dark Continent. You should think of yourselves as being on that strange and dangerous continent!"

“Anything here could take your life. You must be extra careful every minute and every second, and never let your guard down, no matter what it may look like.”

"Otherwise, it would be irresponsible to your lives!"

As one of the very few A+ level powerhouses in the team, Leo was responsible for overseeing the second and third squads, fighting on the front lines.

After giving the soldiers a few warnings, Leo received another message from the main team.

The fourth squad in the southeast has run into trouble. It seems they were caught in a surprise attack, causing the soldiers to scatter. Someone needs to go and investigate.

Without much hesitation, Leo dispatched fifteen people plus an A-level expert to search for the missing persons.

There's nothing we can do if we really can't find it.

Disappearing in a perilous environment is practically equivalent to death.

What's more troublesome is that the sun has set, and the labyrinth city is now shrouded in darkness. It's a cloudy day with no moonlight at all, and everything is pitch black as far as the eye can see.

Those buildings, shrouded in darkness, resembled monsters that devoured people without spitting out their bones. No one knew how many dangers lurked in the shadows, making the search for people much more difficult.

Logically, we should have gathered by evening to conclude today's exploration.

However, there were divination-type Nen users above them who said that they would not get the vanilla if they did not reach the core today, so they were ordered to reach the core tonight.

"I don't care about casualty figures, I just want vanilla..."

Leo watched the backs of the people who went to provide assistance and sighed helplessly.

Meanwhile, at the original location of the fourth squad.

Due to the crisis, the soldiers were forced to scatter. Four soldiers were lucky enough to regroup, but they lost their way in the darkness and wandered around like headless flies.

Normal methods of directional guidance within the Demon Realm will be ineffective. Although the team has Nen tools for directional guidance, they are only in the possession of the team leader.

"Hey, I'm saying... don't you guys think something's a little weird?"

Ahead, the tall soldier suddenly turned his head and whispered, his face pale.

"I don't know if I'm being too sensitive, but I feel like I'm being watched by a lot of people... Should I use a circle?"

The circle, as one of the more difficult techniques among advanced application skills, is not used by most people, and among the four of them, only he knows it, and he can only release it to a distance of six or seven meters.

Upon hearing this, the other three exchanged glances. Although they had emergency lights on them, turning on the lights in a dangerous, dark environment would undoubtedly be suicidal.

In that case, only the option of creating a circle remains.

"Now that you mention it, I have a similar feeling."

"Me too……"

My companions felt the same way.
