In HxH with Doraemon Pocket

Chapter 372 373

"Eh? Is that Leorio?!"

Around the corner, three figures suddenly appeared. Leading the way was the adorable Biscuit, followed by Wing, who was carrying Zushi on his back. After escaping from the audience seats of the Heaven's Arena tournament, they coincidentally encountered Leorio being ambushed.

"Those people... are they the Floor Masters of Heaven's Arena?!"

Biscuit squinted, observing the scene. "It seems they've all been controlled." Seeing Leorio struggling to hold his ground, Biscuit lightly tapped her toes and gracefully flew over. Dealing with these so-called Floor Masters was no burden to her.

With Biscuit's entrance, Leorio felt an immediate relief from pressure and let out a genuine sigh of relief. He wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, looking as if he had narrowly escaped a disaster. No matter how strong these Floor Masters were, they were no match for a seasoned veteran like Biscuit. In just a few swift moves, she easily took care of them.

Afterward, Leorio learned from Wing and Biscuit about everything that had transpired in the Heaven's Arena. Wing then entrusted Zushi to Leorio for diagnosis and treatment. Adjusting his glasses, Wing strode forward with determination. "As a master, it's only natural to help my disciple regain their dignity!"

With a calm expression, Wing approached Gaki, who was fiercely battling Gon and Killua. At the same time, a formidable aura of Nen surged around him! As a master, he was naturally much stronger than his disciples. Not everyone had a freakish senior brother like his, where the disciple surpassed the master. Meanwhile, Wing, Gon, and the others confronted Gaki, dealing with Jed's remaining accomplices.

At the same time, on a floor beneath the rooftop of the arena, where the official committee was located:

"What... what are you planning to do?!"

The committee members wore extremely grim expressions, their voices stern yet betraying an unmistakable panic as they continuously retreated. "What are we planning to do?!"

Uvogin clenched his massive fists, advancing with a menacing grin. "You should be well aware." "The way you hunted us down back then, we're just returning the favor."

Nobunaga scratched his chest hair with one hand, holding the sword sheath with the other. His eyes seemed nonchalant, yet they brimmed with killing intent. The black lines of intimidation appeared around his eyes, making his aura even more terrifying. "Don't forget, you two emerged from our Heaven's Arena!!" Another committee member with graying hair made a final struggle. "Isn't it thanks to our support that you gained fame worldwide?!"

"Yes, yes, you've really worked hard," Nobunaga casually replied, his hand firmly gripping the sword handle, ready to strike at any moment. Clearly, he didn't take their words to heart. "Why waste time with their nonsense?!"

Uvogin couldn't hold back any longer, his body surrounded by a violent red aura of Nen. His fist, already charged with energy, shot forward with a devastating punch! Boom!!

The entire floor resounded with an earth-shattering noise!! Meanwhile, in the dark, eerie main control room not far from the floor, only the sound of dripping blood could be heard. The blood dripped from Shura, who had been defeated by Gon and the others, his aura of malice quickly dissipating, soon lifeless.

The large screen, now a snowy white with static, added another layer of eeriness to the environment. The main control room had been wrecked by Killua, and Shura, who operated the controls, was taken down by Gon and Killua together. The footage of Morin and Jed's battle, which had been clearly displayed, was once again interrupted. Almost simultaneously, curses echoed worldwide once more.

At the top of the tower?

"Did the screen go blank, ?" Morin looked around at the display screens on the surrounding buildings with some surprise and wonder. The footage of their battle, which had been displayed, was now a snowy white again. "Though I don't know what happened, this is actually a good thing. It seems there's been quite a commotion inside the Heaven's Arena~" For him, the less his cards and tools were exposed, the better. Morin could sense the unusual situation, and Jed noticed it too.

"What happened? Did something go wrong on Shura's side?" Jed, surrounded by an aura of malice, frowned and checked his communicator.

The sudden static from the communicator gave Jed a bad feeling. "Forget it, I'll check it out after things are settled here." Jed's expression gradually returned to calm. At that moment, the sound of air currents from several airships suddenly came from the sky. Airships bearing the V5 emblem appeared in Morin and Jed's line of sight.

"Did V5 send personnel? Not a single Nen user among them?"

---

As the airships approached and entered Morin's En range, he couldn't help but feel speechless. Sending a group of ordinary soldiers without Nen abilities... it's practically serving themselves up on a silver platter!

"Bunch of weaklings," Jed snorted, directly commanding the Rasetsu to attack the airships. Before the airships could react, the grotesque Rasetsu, resembling an onmyoji's shikigami, raised its sharp, gray-white claws and viciously swiped at the airships.

"Slash!" "Boom!"

Accompanied by a fierce gust, the airships were torn apart like paper, the claws ripping through them effortlessly. The split bodies of the airships, along with the soldiers aboard, were instantly engulfed in flames! The intense firelight exploded in the sky, forming spectacular fireworks, casting a somber glow over the dark night.

"Truly powerful," Morin acknowledged to himself after witnessing Rasetsu in action. The aura of malice it exuded was indeed troublesome to deal with, but... "In terms of difficulty, I'm not far behind!"

With the surveillance footage no longer an issue, he could unleash his full potential! If it came down to a life-or-death battle, avoiding a direct confrontation, he had several methods and tools to quickly and effectively resolve it. Enhancers, while possessing great strength, were the easiest opponents to handle.

"You're next!!" After dealing with the V5 soldiers, a cruel smile appeared on Jed's face. He clapped his hands together forcefully. In the sky, the massive Rasetsu, moving with a speed completely incongruent with its size, swiftly lunged its claws toward Morin.

In response, Morin chuckled, producing another item in his hand. It was a tool resembling a large loudspeaker tied to a tree at the village entrance. However, unlike a typical loudspeaker, this one had various strange buttons on it. Morin brought the loudspeaker to his mouth, aiming its horn at the approaching skeletal claw.

"From now on, your master is no longer Jed!" Morin's voice was calm, and just a meter away from grabbing his face, the bone claw suddenly paused in mid-air. "So you don't need to follow his orders anymore."

Morin spoke softly, and the Hundred Demons Rasetsu obediently halted, standing quietly in the air. Jed stared blankly at the scene before him, finding it beyond his understanding. "Impossible?!"

For the first time, disbelief appeared on his face. This was his ability!! A power derived from an individual's life energy, meticulously researched and developed! How could it just stop in mid-air, not responding to his commands?! "Move, damn it!!"

Jed continued to urge the Hundred Demons Rasetsu, but no matter how his aura of malice surged, the Rasetsu remained unresponsive, suspended silently in the air. Jed could clearly sense the Rasetsu's presence and could theoretically retract it with his thoughts. The problem was, despite its presence, it wouldn't act according to Jed's commands, no matter how much he tried.

"What did you do to it?!" Jed turned sharply, his gaze fixed on Morin and the peculiar loudspeaker in his hand. He wasn't foolish; the Rasetsu's current state was undoubtedly due to something Morin had done. Especially since he held that strange loudspeaker!!

Item: [Non-biological Hypnosis Loudspeaker].

Effect: A tool that can hypnotize objects, making them believe they are something else or another existence.

In simple terms, it can hypnotize non-living objects, altering their self-perception. Morin used this loudspeaker to hypnotize the Hundred Demons Rasetsu into believing its master wasn't Jed.

After all, the Rasetsu was a product of malice, fitting the definition of a non-living entity. Thus, no matter how Jed tried to control it, it wouldn't act according to his will. Of course, if Jed withdrew the malice sustaining it, it would naturally dissipate from the sky.

In essence, under the effect of the [Non-biological Hypnosis Loudspeaker], Jed's so-called strongest trump card had been effectively sealed by Morin.

"So, what will you do next?!" Morin casually asked Jed, not expecting an answer. He once again raised the [Non-biological Hypnosis Loudspeaker] to his mouth. This time, however, he didn't aim it at Jed or the Rasetsu in the sky. Instead, he targeted the cross restraining Netero, summoned by the deceased Rengoku through a vow and condition.

"You are not a binding cross; rather, you are merely vines meant to cling to buildings, not to bind people." Morin succinctly addressed the cross. In the next second, the chains of malice, created at the cost of Rengoku's life, trembled. Then, under Jed's grim, water-dripping expression, they slowly released.

"Hohoho, I didn't expect to regain my freedom so soon." Netero chuckled as he gracefully landed on the ground.
