The Strongest Assassin of the Zoldyck Family!

Chapter 224: Chapter 224



At that moment, I received news from the country of Talis. I was deceived; the deceiver said that I could find a way to enhance my strength here.

But unexpectedly, after entering Horuen City, I was attacked.

My consciousness sank into darkness.

However, Juliana could feel that her body was still moving.

She was being controlled by something.

And then, here we are.

Juliana revealed a bitter smile.

"So, am I about to die?"

"What a pity."

"I haven't returned to the Sky Arena yet; I haven't taken the Hunter Exam; I haven't become a Floor Master of the Sky Arena. My dreams haven't been realized."

"Why did it turn out like this?"

"Ron, do I still have a chance to live?"

Ron shook his head.

Juliana's body was completely occupied by the monster.

When the monster dies, Juliana will die too.

Now, it's only because Juliana has the foundation of a Nen user that she's holding on by a thread.

She will die soon.

"Sigh, I'm not reconciled."

Juliana sighed.

"Ron, can I ask you a favour?"

"What is it?"

"I have a younger sister, also at the Sky Arena. Her name is Selena. Please tell her not to trust others easily, not to avenge me, and not to leave the Sky Arena!"

Ron nodded.

But then, he realized something seemed off.

Don't trust others easily.

But the key is, to Selena, he is also an 'other.'

So, should Selena believe his words or not?

"Thank you."

Juliana's consciousness dissipated.

Her breathing and heartbeat stopped.

Looking at her now lifeless body he felt a bit emotional.

Ron looked at Wendy.

"Wendy, I plan to take a break and walk alone. Can we let Senior Dominica handle the next actions?"

Wendy nodded.

She took out her phone and dialled Dominica's number.

Ron waited beside Wendy.

Until Dominica's figure appeared.

"Senior Dominica, Wendy, I'll be going now."

"Okay."

Ron left alone.

"What's wrong with Ron?"

Dominica looked in the direction where Ron left.

Wendy pointed to the corpse on the ground.

"This person knew Ron; they had dealings before, but she was parasitized by those monsters. Ron had to personally kill her, so he's not in a good mood."

Ron did not return to the wooden cabin.

Instead, he went to the outskirts of Horuen City.

A place where there was no one around.

After confirming that the surroundings were safe, Ron looked at the crystal ball in front of him.

The progress bar on it was full.

This meant that Ron could create his fifth Nen Beast at any time.

Ron first set up Nen needles around.

Then he sprinkled some poison obtained from Kaka.

Ron sat cross-legged on the ground.

One hour, two hours, three hours.

"Thud!"

Ron pretended to fall to the ground.

There was no movement around.

Ron pretended to twitch.

Still no movement.

Ron pretended to faint.

...

Afterwards, Ron got up, truly confirming that his current environment was safe.

"Begin!"

The next moment, Ron felt the aura within his body rushing into the crystal ball at an extremely fast speed.

The scene was exactly the same as before.

The color of the crystal ball began to change.

"Boom!"

A sound exploded in Ron's mind. Immediately after, Ron felt his consciousness seemed to fall into another space. One after another, phantom images entered his vision.

A coffin, swaying.

A clown mask, flickering.

A doll, like a toy, with stitches all over its body, but able to move freely.

A balloon, floating in the night.

A lamp, swaying.

The next moment, all these figures entered the crystal ball.

"Boom!"

An explosive sound rang out.

Ron felt his consciousness rapidly withdrawing.

Before long.

Ron opened his eyes.

With a thought.

A lamp floating in mid-air appeared in Ron's sight.

Most of it was black.

In the middle burned a blue flame.

At the same time, a surge of information flooded into Ron's mind.

"Lampent!"

Ron's expression was a bit peculiar.

This time, the Nen Beast that appeared was completely different in style from before.

Killer Queen, although had a unique phenotype, was still humanoid.

Hanma Baki, human.

Chii, although a robot, was humanoid.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa, human.

But this time, the Nen Beast was a lamp.

"Lampent!" 

"It's from the Pokémon world." (t/n: Never watched Pokémon so am excited to see what it can do) 

"Currently, it has three abilities."

"First, a passive talent, Flame Body."

"Can completely ignore fire damage, and even absorb fire."

"The second ability, Smog!"

"Can emit a poisonous fog."

"The third ability, Pain Split!"

"Can add its own aura and the target's aura together, then distribute it evenly."

Ron's eyes lit up.

He had to admit, these abilities were quite good.

Among them, the value of Smog was relatively lower.

But it could make up for Ron's current lack of methods.

At present, Ron didn't have a similar technique despite being an assassin.

A large-scale poisonous move, whether Ron wanted to infiltrate somewhere or leave, could provide convenience.

As for Flame Body, it allowed Ron to completely ignore fire damage.

What does this mean?

It means that if a Nen user whose main ability is fire faces him, they would be completely countered by Ron.

Completely suppressed.

Even if their overall strength is stronger than Ron's, they wouldn't be able to do anything to him.

Among Nen users, the relationship of ability restraint is very important.

Why could Kurapika defeat members of the Phantom Troupe not long after learning Nen?

Especially Uvogin, whose strength was among the top in the Phantom Troupe.

A big reason is ability restraint.

Firstly, Conjuration-type abilities somewhat restrain Enhancement-type.

Secondly, the abilities Kurapika developed were specifically to counter the members of the Phantom Troupe.

But what surprised Ron even more was Lampent's third ability.
