Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 256: Pursuing the Direction of Pleasure

Boom boom boom——

Raise your hands, pray, extend your palms, and retract your palms. During Netero's smooth attack of the Hundred Styles of Guanyin, there will be a brief moment of blooming, and he will think of the distant past.

It really is a long time ago.

He was in his fifties that year, about the same age as Biscuit is now, and he had mastered the Hundred Styles of Guanyin.

As soon as he came down the mountain, he started a duel with a martial arts master, risking the reputation of his school to test his own abilities.

However, Netero only threw one punch, and the opponent just took a look at his sonic boom fist and was so moved that he knelt down, admitted defeat to him, and asked to be his disciple.

Netero actually accepted many disciples and taught them the mysteries of the Heart Source Flow that he created and comprehended, including the martial arts master.

It’s a pity that the person is gone, and the memories have become much duller.

Today, the only two disciples of the Xinyuan School who are still alive and have achieved something are Bisiji and Yungu.

I heard that Yun Gu recently accepted a disciple named Zhixi. Yun Gu is very calm and steady, so I think the disciple he chose would not be bad in qualifications.

He was just too upright and dignified, not as cunning and flexible as his master Bisiji. From now on...

boom--

Netero's eyes suddenly widened.

Under the bright moonlight, the huge beast once again escaped from his Five Finger Mountain and ran among the mountains and forests.

Oh no, oh no, I actually had a hallucination similar to a revolving lantern. It seems that Germain’s Chaos Roar has accumulated a lot of pressure on me...

Netero pursed his cracked lips, and the 99th form of the Hundred Styles of Avalokitesvara transformed into countless golden lights and caught up with Germain.

Boom boom boom——

Among the dazzling palm, fist, finger and knife moves of Avalokitesvara of the Hundred Worlds, Chaos Roar tore most of them into pieces, looking hideous and dazzling!
However, Netero still hit Germain with one palm, knocking him away from the heart of Chaos Roar.

Wrapped in a black robe, Germann streaked across the sky like a meteor and fell into the dark shadow of the razed land that was originally called a forest.

bang——

Chaos Roar chased after him.

Netero looked at the dust rising in that direction and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

That was German's latest record.

He has dodged my Hundred-style Guanyin attack eight times in a row. He is almost there, just a little bit more. I really can’t relax for even a moment...

The only thing I have accumulated that is far superior to his is combat experience.

You can't be careless at all, because he might win at any time without you noticing.

Netero, with a tense mind, ran a few steps, jumped into the air, and shot towards the landing point of Germain like an arrow.

In the distance, on the top of the mountain, Geno stood with his hands behind his back, and Shiba stood behind him. They stood like two big trees, one tall and one short.

They come to watch the game every day, especially in recent days, they can often watch the whole day without feeling tired.

German was tortured and troubled again and again, and found comfort in virtue in the intervals.

He has been able to persist until now without any rest. His willpower is really amazing.

Now, even if Netero used the 99th style of Guanyin among hundreds of styles, it would be difficult to completely suppress him.

The unilateral offensive was beginning to overwhelm Germann. I couldn’t imagine what would happen if he fought back.

The father and son gradually digested their surprise in silence.

Shiba retracted his eagle-like eyes and looked at Zeno, but he couldn't help but speak.

"Father, the time limit set by President Netero is almost up. Do you think it is possible for Germain to dodge President Netero's attacks more than ten times in a row under such unfavorable circumstances?"

Zeno didn't answer immediately, but just stared straight ahead.

The four big words "Career Active" on his chest fluttered in the night wind.

After a long while, he turned around with his hands behind his back.

"I've said before, I can't predict the future. Germain may be able to do it, or he may not. This is not something I can be sure of. The decision is in the hands of those two people."

"Watching their fight, for me, they put me in an awkward position."

"I can neither admit that I am old nor say that the time is not right, because President Netero is older than me and Germain is younger than me."

"Hahaha, these two people really blocked all my paths."

He walked towards the place where the airship landed.

Shiba hesitated for a moment and followed.

"If German is given more time, I think he will have a good chance of achieving victory, but unfortunately the time is too short."

Zeno snorted twice.

"This is the rule. It was set at the beginning. Both parties agreed to it. What else is there to discuss?"

Sheba nodded.

"That's right."

Two figures disappeared into the darkness.

Meanwhile, Germain climbs out of the pit he was knocked down by Hyakushiki Kannon, the Dark Torment Crown hovering above his head.

The injured Chaos Roar enveloped Germann like the shadow of a hill. Only the terrifying aura revealed its presence at all times.

Then, it pressed its huge forelimbs downwards, stared at the sky with its scarlet eyes, and let out a threatening growl from its throat.

"Uh uh uh uh——"

Netero rose from the ground, and while suspended in the air, he crossed his legs and once again assumed the Hundred Styles of Guanyin starting stance that he had performed countless times.

However, the only thing that focused on Netero was the roar of chaos.

German, however, held his head high, looking at the waning moon in the dark night, as if in a daze.

Netero's eyelids drooped. Have you given up?

Can't bear it anymore?

To be honest, the fact that he could hold on until tonight was beyond my expectation.

I thought he would have collapsed both physically and mentally the day before yesterday, but he has managed to hold on until now.

Let me praise you in my heart, Germain.

The future is yours, but tonight it's mine.

Netero raised his hands, prayed, and slapped out, completing the 99th move of the Hundred Moves of Guanyin in an instant, attacking Germain and Chaos Roar from all angles and without any blind spots!

This is Netero's final blow!
Before the 99th posture of Hundred Styles of Guanyin was performed, German fell into deep thought for the first time in a long time.

At this moment, he was thinking about things that had nothing to do with this battle.

What day is today? What time is it now?
Hmm...it seems to be the night of November 11st...I am a little confused about the time...

Looking back, the night I woke up in this world was November 11st last year.

So, it has been one year since I came into this world.

A lot has happened this year.

Many things that we were worried about at that time are no longer a problem, and many things that we were looking forward to at that time are now within reach.

However, there are still many things I have not yet achieved... such as the depths of the Dark Continent.

Speaking of which, why did I go to the Dark Continent?
Ah... yes, it's because I want to know all the secrets of the Dark Continent, and I want to surpass Dong Fulishi and become a hunter who has never been seen before and will never be seen again...

This is the reason. Just for this, he risked his life and the lives of his companions... It's unbelievable.

I really can’t understand it. I really can’t understand it.

In the eyes of most people, my choice would be ridiculous.

Obviously, the Six Continents have everything I need. Given time, I might be able to become the king of the Six Continents.

I have already been to the Dark Continent and obtained two kinds of "Hope". This is a good achievement and enough to go down in history.

That’s about right, right?
Then change the route?

Becoming the strongest Nen user in the six continents like Netero, creating your own school, and serving as the president of the Hunter Association is a good path.

Like Zeno and Silva, building your family into the world's number one killer family is also a good way.

Like the Ant King Meruem, controlling a country, using it as a starting point, expanding to the entire six continents, and ruling the world according to one's own ideas is still a good way.

They are indeed very good.

However, German chose neither of these paths.

Yes, the reason has long been clear.

Pleasure...

I was like a cat pouncing on a ball of fur or a dog chasing after the taillights of a car, rushing towards the direction of ultimate pleasure without looking back.

The trembling of fear, the wailing of despair...the climax of all this is in the Dark Continent.

There is no way to escape this temptation.

Yes.

I can't and won't stop here.

Ok.

Once again, I made up my mind.

Netero, who was hanging high in the air, clearly felt the changes that took place in Germain at this moment.

He was stunned for a moment, but couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, revealing a greedy and ferocious smile.

is it?

Netero retracted his palm in an instant, then put out his right palm, with his middle finger straight up, his ring finger and little finger curled up, and his index finger and thumb clasped together.

Then let me see your awareness.

Behind German, Hundred-style Guanyin appeared silently.

A golden light flashed, and a pair of large hands sneaked up to Germann as gently as in a dream, then closed, trapping Germann tightly in the palms.

bang——

Chaos Roar next to him only reacted at this time and wanted to turn around to rescue him, but it was too late.

The bullets of thought condensed in the mouth of Baishi Guanyin contained extremely terrifying destructive power, and then all shot towards German who was trapped by two palms!
Type Zero: Roar without Mercy!
boom--

The destructive golden light poured out and hit German in the palms of Hundred Styles Guanyin, then penetrated the flat ground and cut through the thick rock layer.

Rumbling--

After the earth shook and the mountains trembled, the Hundred Forms of Guanyin finally dissipated.

Netero fell from the air and let out a long breath.

His body couldn't help but show signs of fatigue like aging, but it was not serious.

Netero did not use Zero's full strength, because using full strength means that he would use all his mental energy to blast out like a cannonball, with the purpose of completely destroying the target.

He certainly didn't want to kill German like the ant king.

However, even so, the power of his close-range Zero was quite astonishing.

So, what will happen?
He slowly calmed his breathing and looked in the direction of Germain. There was dust and smoke everywhere and Germain was nowhere to be seen. As for the Chaos Roar, it had also disappeared.

Still failed?

Did Chaos Roar dissipate after I defeated Germain?
