Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 31 Beast Buster and Critical Attack

Germann soon came to a sober conclusion.

Its fluffy black feathers are like armor and also like a shield, so the part covered by the black feathers is probably its weak point.

What the Lord of Crows hid were the eyeballs that extended from his head down to his abdomen. They were crowded together, tangled with mucus like tumors.

Now that we know where the weakness is, all that remains is how to attack it.

Another eyeball closed on the Lord of Crows' abdomen, and at the same time, another eyeball opened on German's left arm.

They made a perfect pair, and the creepy gaze never left Germain's face from beginning to end.

Pressure +5

German did not panic, but instead noticed something strange.

The reason why the eyeball appeared on his arm for no reason must be that certain conditions were met.

If the conditions were not there, he would have already transformed into "Danzo without bandages" by now.

So, what will the conditions be?
Soon, he sorted out his thoughts.

Germann looked into the eyes of the Lord of Crows for a while. Perhaps its curse could be transmitted to Germann through eye contact like a germ.

But why is it the left arm, not the right arm, not the chest, not the thigh?
The special thing is probably that Hisoka left a fresh wound on his left arm a few days ago.

Even though his physical fitness had reached 20, his wounds had not fully healed in just a few days.

The eye curse of the Lord of Crows, through their eye contact, spread the seeds of disease to Germain's new wound, and took root inside his left arm.

Even if one does not meet the eyes on the Lord of Crows' torso, the same curse will apply if one looks into the eye on one's left arm.

This is the truth.

Amid the creaking sounds, Germann noticed that a third eye had "bloomed" on the same arm, almost confirming his guess.

Pressure +5

Germann closed his eyes without hesitation, breaking his eye contact with the Lord of Crows.

He could lower his head, but he knew that in various emergency situations, humans would subconsciously use their eyes to confirm the situation.

Since I can't completely control my instincts, I might as well just close my eyes.

Of course, he didn't give up the fight.

In the gloom after his eyelids closed, German's "circle" became more acute and his movements more agile.

Relying on his memory and hearing, he calculated the distance between him and the Lord of Crows in his mind, then he took out the small ball hidden in the hunter's black robe and threw it straight over.

The small ball was thrown to the feet of the Lord of Crows, and suddenly a cloud of smoke spewed out and spread rapidly.

This was what German learned from his last experience in the dry valley.

Instead of using small explosives that only blow off a piece of the beast's torso, it is better to use "poison"!
He spent a painful amount of money to buy this tiny poison gas bomb.

However, the intelligence of the Lord of Crows is obviously much higher than that of the beasts in the dry valley.

The Lord of Crows was surrounded by poisonous fog. He paused and then spread his wings.

With a whoosh and a kick of its claws, the tall and strong body flew into the air.

It also realized the dangers of the poison gas, dodged it in time, and immediately launched a counterattack.

The Lord of Crows swept across the ground like a thick battering ram and slammed into Germain, trying to knock him away.

However, German deliberately did not dodge in advance and dodged to the side at the last moment.

When the Lord of Crows was about to fly over, the musket in his left hand disappeared, and he stretched out his hand and firmly grasped the Lord of Crows' claws. The Lord of Crows flew up again, but unexpectedly took German with him.

So it kept circling back and forth in the air, trying to shake German off.

But German would not let go easily.

When will the Lord of Crows move his heavy wings and reveal his vulnerable belly?
When it flies, of course.

Not only was Germann not thrown away, but he also deformed the meat saw with a click, sent the serrated blade forward, and stabbed it into the abdomen full of eyeballs with a "puff"!
For a moment, he couldn't tell whether it was blood or pus, but it sprayed all over his body.

"Critical Hit! Pressure -10"

The wound inflicted by the meat saw was larger and deeper than German had expected, as if it were divine intervention.

The next moment, German thought of one of his own characteristics - "Beast Buster".

The Lord of Crows is considered "the Beast".

Germann, who possesses the "Beast Buster" ability, will have a small boost in combat and has a chance to cause critical damage.

The stab just now accidentally caused a critical hit, and also reduced 10 points of pressure.

The Lord of Crows screamed miserably, and pecked at Germain's head with his spear-like beak.

If all goes well, there will be a big hole in German's skull and his brain will be pecked out.

He naturally didn't want this.

German pulled the meat saw out of the Lord of Crows' abdomen, his left hand still tightly grasping the Lord of Crows' claws.

Due to inertia, he swayed in mid-air and just happened to avoid the bird's beak.

He switched the meat saw to a musket, raised the black muzzle, and fired at the bloody belly of the Lord of Crows!
The close-range explosion made Germann's ears buzz, but the wound on the Lord of Crows' abdomen also visibly expanded a little.

The Lord of the Crows cried and struggled even more violently.

It suddenly raised the claw that was grabbed by Germain's left hand, lifted Germain up, and folded its wings like a big hand, holding Germain tightly!
The Lord of Crows did not spread his wings, and the two of them spiraled straight down from the air toward the ground.

Germain's entire upper body was pressed against the Lord of Crows' rotten abdomen.

The sticky liquid and rolling eyeballs were vaguely depicted in his mind through the close touch.

At this moment, he opened his eyes, but looked up directly, and then saw the Lord of Crows' beak pecking at him again.

He dodged by tilting his head as far as possible, but the bird's beak still pierced into his right shoulder, and with a "whoosh" sound, it pierced through!

"Hiss!" German couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat from the pain.

The Lord of Crows pulled out his beak and tried to poke again, but found that it was about to fall to the ground, so he loosened his wings that were holding Germann.

But German would not miss any opportunity to show the Lord of Crows' weakness.

Seeing that he was about to fall to the ground, he endured the severe pain in his right shoulder, and despite the feeling of weightlessness and dizziness from the world spinning around, he accurately grabbed the feather of the Lord of Crows with both hands.

He exerted force with his arms, did a pull-up, and climbed onto the body of the Lord of Crows.

The Lord of Crows flew up again and found that Germann was still lingering around. However, he did not use the same trick to shake him off. Instead, he called a large group of many-eyed crows by cawing.

They screamed and pounced on Germanman's back, tearing the flesh on his back with their sharp beaks and claws and sucking his blood.

Germann made his judgment calmly, as if the attack on his back did not exist.

His right hand was still grasping the feathers, but he thrust his left hand into the wound on the Lord of Crows' abdomen that had been torn open by the meat saw and the musket, and continued to move deeper and deeper!
