Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 429 The Eighth Prince's Guardian Spirit Beast

Tradin gave him a pleading look.

The two people behind him are his only remaining light of hope.

Kate, the disciple of "Pig" Jin.

Xiu Tuo, a disciple of "Monkey" Mo Laowu.

If even they were no match for the giant spherical monster before them, Tradin would have no chance of winning.

Kate pressed the blue bonnet to prevent the sea breeze from blowing it away from his long, silver hair.

He ignored the anxiety in Tradin's eyes and calmly turned his head to look at Xiu Tuo beside him:
"If I remember correctly, this should be the "guardian spirit beast" of the deceased eighth prince of the Kajin royal family, Salesare."

Less than half an hour after BW1 set sail, a series of murders occurred.

In less than two weeks, two princes of the Kakin royal family died, one of whom was the eighth prince.

The eighth prince, who loved sexual pleasure, had awakened his "guardian spirit beast" during his lifetime.

It’s just that he doesn’t have the ability to read letters, so he didn’t notice the existence of the “guardian spirit beast”.

The "Guardian Spirit Beast" is a monster created by the "Egg in the Pot Ceremony" passed down from generation to generation by the Kajin royal family.

Only those who participate in the succession war and offer at least one drop of blood to the "Poison Pot" can create a "Guardian Spirit Beast".

"Guardian spirit beasts" are similar to mind beasts, but they are also different.

They will not fight each other, nor will they attack people with "guardian spirit animals". They will also disobey the will of the host who wants to commit suicide and prevent the host from dying.

In other words, the "guardian beast" is just as its name suggests, a monster that will protect the prince at all costs and possesses all kinds of strange protective abilities.

The Eighth Prince's "guardian beast" will use smoke to influence the minds of people around him without the Eighth Prince being aware of the situation, making them like him even more.

In addition, this group of people whose minds have been affected will begin to spread this ability, causing more people to have a favorable impression of the Eighth Prince.

Ordinary people may fall into the trap because they cannot see the "guardian beast".

However, people with the ability to read minds like Kate and Showto saw through the truth at a glance and did not rashly step into the trap.

Later, the Eighth Prince is murdered, and Kate teams up with Showto to investigate the incident.

When they caught the murderer, they were sure that he was also a Psychic user.

This is not surprising. It is almost impossible for ordinary people to bypass the "guardian spirit beast" and attack the Eighth Prince.

Unfortunately, the other party committed suicide immediately and did not reveal the mastermind and accomplices behind him.

However, Kate and Showto didn't actually want to find the mastermind. They knew it must be one of the princes, and catching him directly might not be a good thing.

Seeing this "guardian beast" again now, Kate was somewhat confused. The eighth prince was dead, so theoretically, it should have died as well, right?

How come it is still alive and attacks the people passing by?
After hearing Kate's words, Xiu Tuo was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "I remember this too, and its ability has become much stronger... I, I..."

Kate noticed that Xiu Tuo was a bit timid and retreated when facing this monster: "It's okay, right? Can you still keep fighting?"

If possible, Xiu Tuo certainly didn't want to fight.

But the current situation no longer allows for such casualness and ease. It is obviously impossible for them to escape the pursuit of the spherical monster.

Moreover, when he followed his teacher on board BW1, he had already made up his mind to become braver and more resilient, just like the courage he showed when facing Youpi that night.

So he said, "It's okay, let's do it." Kate then materialized his "Crazy Clown" - a metal rod with a clown's head. By shaking out the "number", the corresponding weapon can be materialized.

The clown gurgled and stuck out his tongue, and shook the number "2", and Kate had a long and sharp sickle in her hand.

"Not bad." Kate was quite satisfied with the weapon she got this time. "Xiutuo, I will attract its attention from the front, and you try to take away its mouth as much as possible."

"Okay." Xiu Tuo agreed immediately. Three broken arms and a birdcage were suspended beside him. This was his "Operation System·Dark Hotel".

He can lock the monster's mouth into a birdcage by causing damage.

Both of them realized that since the white smoke was coming out of those mouths, they should take away the mouths and weaken the monsters' abilities.

So, they finally started the battle at Tradin's request, but at this time Tradin had only a few men left.

Kate's sickle is called "Waltz of Death". The circular slash he swung was like the god of death, reaping all the puppets controlled by the white smoke!
Chi chi chi——

The puppets fell to the ground like marionettes whose strings had been broken, and then split into two parts from the waist.

Tradin and his few remaining subordinates crouched down after Kate's advance warning, thus avoiding the blow that could have cut them all in half.

Before they could get too surprised, they saw Xiu Tuo stepping on one of his severed hands and "flying with his hand".

Xiu Tuo flew to the side of the spherical monster suspended in the air.

Meanwhile, Kate continued to slash with his scythe to attract the monster's attention.

The monster dodged the slash, but had one of its mouths taken away by Showto.

Perhaps this action annoyed it, and it did not intend to give the two a second chance.

When Kate and Xiu Tuo were about to do the same thing, the monster suddenly burst out with a completely different momentum from before, hitting everyone's heart like a sledgehammer.

Tradin and the others' hearts were pounding as if they would burst from their chests at any moment.

They all looked terrified and sweaty.

Kate and Xiu Tuo were not much better off. They were both enveloped in a terrifying pressure, especially Xiu Tuo who was closer and could hardly breathe.

Xiu Tuo wanted to attack the monster bravely, but in the end he couldn't bear the impact and fell from the air to Kate's side.

"This... is troublesome." Kate said with a gloomy face, "Just from the manifestation of this mental energy, it is even stronger than gold..."

"The fighting power of a dead prince's 'guardian spirit beast' has been raised to this level. It is definitely not through normal means... It is the resentment of the dead..."

Kate clenched the sickle in her hand: "Although I killed those puppets, they are only shells left, and their death resentment has been sucked away by this monster."

"It's not its complete form yet, it will become stronger..."

Xiutuo's breathing was rapid, and a bean-sized bead of sweat slid down his forehead: "In other words, now is the best time for us to kill it, otherwise it will only become more and more difficult to deal with later."

"That's right," Kate replied.

Xiutuo's heart skipped a beat. This was simply a replay of the "Chimera Ant Disaster". The monster before him was none other than the "Ant King and Three Guards" that had brought him nightmares.

Almost the next moment, both of them turned back in surprise because they felt several mental energies approaching.

If you are attacked from both sides at this time, there is really no way to survive.

However, the visitors surprised and delighted them, for it was Nakulu, Menqi, Buhala and Sambika, whom they had not seen for a year or so!
