I'm Really Not A Nen Exorcist (HxH Fanfic)

Chapter 404: Chapter 404 I Am a Hunter



Using the lingering effect of 100-Type Guanyin: First Hand and the Momentum from [All Extinct], Moses pretended to be ready to launch a fierce attack at any time.

This blinding, sun-like Momentum temporarily stunned the Phantom Troupe's members, triggering an even stronger surge of killing intent from them.

Here and now, a fight to the death!

However-

Just as the Phantom Troupe's members were about to act on their overwhelming killing intent, Moses, who had been exuding an intense fighting spirit, suddenly waved goodbye and vanished into thin air.

'We've been tricked...!'

Seeing Moses disappear into thin air, even the composed Chrollo couldn't help but have a gloomy face, let alone the other members.

And Hisoka, the only one still left on the scene, inevitably became the focus of the Phantom Troupe's members.

Boom!

In rage, Uvogin suddenly raised his hand and punched the ground with his fist filled with a lot of Aura.

Accompanied by a deafening dull sound, a large crater appeared on the grassy ground.

"Aaaaahhhh!!!"

Standing in the crater, Uvogin's face was filled with red blood as he raised his head and roared in anger, venting the indescribable fury in his heart under the moonlight covering the snow-covered ground.

The furious roar, which seemed capable of piercing eardrums, quickly spread throughout the entire Snow Palace's courtyard.

Normally, the Phantom Troupe's members would respond to Uvogin's loud voice with actions like covering their ears, but now, they did nothing at all, either expressionless or with darkened faces.

But at this moment, their gazes were all fixed on Hisoka.

This made Hisoka extremely uncomfortable, feeling a strong sense of crisis.

However-

Hisoka could at least prove one thing.

He and Moses are not in the same group.

To be more precise, what he wanted was to stand in opposition to Moses and engage in another exhilarating fight with him.

"Omokage was killed by him."

Pakunoda came to Chrollo's side, looked up at Hisoka, her face dark and cold, and asked coldly: "Should we kill him?"

"…"

Chrollo lowered his head slightly, his eyes full of shadows. After hearing what Pakunoda said, he didn't immediately respond.

He was silent for about two or three seconds, then slowly raised his head to look at Hisoka.

Realizing the dire situation, Hisoka maintained a faint smile on his face, but his right hand, hidden behind him, produced three playing cards between his fingers, ready to act at any moment.

Chrollo noticed Hisoka's subtle movements but didn't react. His deep, dark eyes stared at Hisoka.

Before targeting the Museum Exchange Conference, Shalnark's investigation of Moses included battle footage from Heavens Arena and some information from the Blacklist Hunter list.

From this information, Chrollo learned Moses's real name and also gained some impression of Hisoka, who was crushed by Moses in the battle footage.

Staring at Hisoka, Chrollo asked word by word: "What's your relationship with Moses?"

"Moses?"

Hisoka was slightly startled, but quickly reacted, narrowing his eyes as he said, "Oh, so his real name is Moses... If possible, I really don't want to learn his name in this way."

Moses adopted the name Illumi in Heavens Arena, but Hisoka, of course, knew that was not Moses's real name.

But Hisoka never made a point to investigate Moses's real name.

Because he always remembered the words he heard after being knocked down by Moses for the first time.

"Next time, remember to ask for the name first, otherwise, you won't know who to look for when returning this punch."

So from that moment on, Hisoka wanted to use the act of 'returning a punch' to make Moses personally say his name.

Unfortunately, in the two years that followed, he still hasn't been able to return the punch to Moses.

And now, he unexpectedly learned Moses's real name from Chrollo in such a situation.

Hisoka felt a twinge of regret.

Chrollo watched Hisoka's reaction with an impassive expression, his eyes showing no hint of emotion.

No one could guess what Chrollo was thinking at this moment.

"Boss…"

At this moment, Machi, who had rushed back, quickly came to Chrollo's side.

The situation on Feitan and Bonolenov's side is still unknown. If they rushed over now, they might still have a chance to deal with Moses.

Meanwhile…

On the winding mountain roads.

From a high vantage point, the car headlights looked like lanterns moving downward along various points on the mountain roads.

These were mostly guests who had come to attend the Museum Exchange Conference and were now fleeing the Snow Palace in a panic due to the Phantom Troupe's attack, driving down the mountain as fast as they could.

Moses stood in the woods near the mountain road not far from the Snow Palace's gate, closed his Aura Nodes and entered Zetsu state. He then took out his phone and sent a message to Menchi and Kanzai, asking about their situation.

After sending the message, Moses put away his phone and glanced towards the Snow Palace.

It was unexpected that the Phantom Troupe would attack the Museum Exchange Conference.

Since the Phantom Troupe's target was the antiques and treasures at the exchange meeting, they hadn't paid attention to the guests attending the event.

In order to reduce the difficulty of obstacles, they had even allowed the guests to escape.

Moses was also a guest and could have left with the others.

But unfortunately, due to his previous conflicts with Franklin and Shalnark, the Phantom Troupe didn't want to let him leave.

Thus, the intense battle tonight ensued.

In the less than twenty minutes that took place, Moses, relying on his exceptional combat awareness, used tactics and layouts repeatedly to defeat the larger force and single-handedly break three of the spider's legs.

From this moment on, it was officially announced that the hostile relationship between him and the Phantom Troupe would evolve into a fight to the death.

Others might be afraid of retaliation from the Phantom Troupe, but Moses was definitely not among them.

From the moment he chose to become a Blacklist Hunter, the Phantom Troupe, as an A-Class criminal group, would become a prime target for him at some point in the future.

"You will understand eventually..."

Moses gazed calmly at the Snow Palace under the night sky and said: "I am a Hunter."

His steady, calm gaze seemed to pierce through the night, falling on the Phantom Troupe's members shrouded in darkness.

The beginning starts from now.

But Moses is confident that he will always be at the forefront.

The relationship between hunter and prey would remain firmly in his grasp.

And the Phantom Troupe would only serve to provide him with abundant rewards.

For example, tonight-

The rewards were exceptionally rich, totally incomparable to anything in the past.

Buzz-

His phone suddenly vibrated.

Moses picked it up and saw that Menchi and Kanzai had almost simultaneously sent messages, reporting that they were safe.

After reading the messages, Moses felt somewhat relieved. He then turned his gaze towards a rapidly approaching figure in the night.

It's Biscuit.
