Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 528 True Dark Sonata
The low yet resonating narrative song throughout the dark world continues.

"Smart boy, do you want to come with me?"

"My daughters will serve you very attentively."

"My daughters dance the garden dance every night."

"Dancing, singing, rocking you to sleep."

A thunder dragon controlled by German's "Thunder Hammer" roared and bit the "Darkness" wearing the crown, but was smashed to pieces by the scepter in the hand of "Darkness"!

bang——

For a moment, lightning flashed everywhere, and the scattered light made the darkness retreat slightly, but unfortunately it came back immediately, and everything was swallowed up by the darkness again.

Germain fell into an endless abyss of darkness.

"Dad, Dad, you didn't see that."

"The devil's daughters are standing in the shadows?"

"My son, my son, I see clearly."

"Those are some old grey poplar trees."

Germann sensed that even though the four "wall-facers" were approaching silently in the darkness, they still could not escape his "eyes".

The "Thunder Hammer" once again summoned a roaring thunder dragon, which bit towards one of the "Wallfacers".

At the same time, he consumed "Crimson Bow" and "Black Arrow" and used "Collector's Head" and "Creeping of the Monstrous Limp".

The second "Wallfacer" was temporarily sealed into the skull of the cabinet of curiosities by the "Collector's Head" with a whoosh, and made a rattling sound of struggle.

The sharp claws of the wriggling tentacles severely damaged the body of the third "Wallfacer", causing it to fall backwards with a muffled sound.

The last "Wallfacer" was hit head-on by Germain's "Thunder Hammer". His whole body was covered in lightning and he half-knelt stiffly.

"I love you, and I am pleased with your beauty."

"If you refuse, I will use force."

"Dad, Dad, he's coming to get me now!"

"The devil's grip is so painful!"

Without stopping the chant of "Darkness", he held the scepter in his hand and swept it across the air towards Germain.

Germann replaced the "Thunder Hammer" with the "Funeral Blade" and collided it with the scepter, making a loud noise like a landslide!

The entire space is shaking!

After a dead silence, the baritone's voice came again, like a sigh, and like joy.

"My father was terrified and rode away quickly."

"He held the groaning child close to his arms."

"I finally got back to his house."

"The child in his arms had died."

While Germain was fighting the "darkness" with his divine power, the four "wallfacers" had already broken free from their restraints, but they did not dare to approach rashly due to the terrifying noise.

Until this moment, the narrative song of the "Devil King" ended, and the four "Wallfacers" dispersed one after another as if they had received instructions at the same time.

They withdrew far away from the battlefield between the demigods, and then stroked the instruments they owned - piano, violin, flute and harp, and played new music.

As soon as the tone came out, it revealed a sense of weirdness.

It is not harsh, but rather very attractive, making people follow the music and continue to explore it as if possessed.

They were like mouths whispering in Germain's ears, and like hands caressing Germain's body in a creepy way.

These were supposed to be four solo pieces, but at this moment they cleverly coordinated with each other, forming a terrifying cage and devilish sound, which constantly weakened Germain's divine power.

Germann was already in a dark world without any light source. At this moment, even his perception and reaction abilities were withering and fading!
This is the "Dark Sonata" that can blind and fool people! ——
Melody had that nightmare again.

She dreamed of her good friend picking up the flute and playing the terrifying music that was said to be composed by the "devil".

The melody can foresee a terrible future: her friend will die after playing the first movement, and she, the listener, will become ugly and short.

She shouted in fear and tried to dissuade her friend, but she was unwilling to listen to her and continued to blow the whistle. It was too late.

Not only that, her friend also gave her an extremely evil smile.

This evil smile immediately woke Melody up from her nightmare.

She found herself lying on the bed, her body hot and wet, and the whole room was dark.

Melody returned to reality from the nightmare.

She turned over and sat up, gasping for breath, and looked at the corner of the room in fear, fearing that a demon with a flute would appear there.

Fortunately, there is no such thing.

Melody stood up and wanted to get a glass of water, but she found that something seemed wrong outside the room and there were too many noisy noises.

She walked to the window in confusion and looked out, and saw a crowd of people outside the window, all talking about something and pointing at the air.

Melody frowned and looked up at the sky. Only then did she realize that she had just woken up and was too confused to notice such obvious changes in front of her.

In the dark sky, there is a waning moon, emitting a blood-red light.

The New World's coastal fortresses, small town houses, roads, mountains, rivers and lakes were all bathed in this strange blood color.

"What's going on? What happened?"

Melody couldn't believe that she woke up in the middle of the night and saw such a strange scene.

But the next moment, something happened that made her hair stand on end even more.

The "Dark Sonata" that ended in her dream suddenly echoed in her ears again. She shivered with fear and looked back.

The room was dark and empty.

But the flute solo did not end, it continued!

Although she couldn't see the performer, she could hear the melody. Even though she had never heard the second movement of the "Dark Sonata", she already knew it by heart!
There is no doubt about it, this is the second movement of the "Dark Sonata"!

The first movement, which marks the end of the nightmare, and the second movement, which is now beginning, all point to one thing.

Something exists that plays the "Dark Sonata", and Melody, the former listener and person who has read the entire score, is forced to establish a connection with it!
She fell to her knees in shock and sweat, as if all the strength in her body had been drained away.

After a while, a hazy picture gradually emerged in front of her eyes.

She saw a silver light spot, dancing in the air like a firefly, disappearing from time to time, flickering, and disappearing again...

Melody's heart beat faster due to the murderous aura in the picture, but she also felt a familiar taste from the silver light.

She remembered.

Mr. Germain just left the Coast Fortress today and went to the Dark Continent...

This is information only known to a few insiders.

Melody had already won the trust of Germain and the Hunter Association through nearly two years of hard work, and of course she knew about this.

Could it be Mr. German?

It must be him.

Melody couldn't help but think of the conversations she had with Germain when they first met on Greed Island.

At the time, Germain said to Melody:

"I agree with your idea of ​​destroying all the Dark Sonatas, and I support you in doing so."

"You need a companion you can trust and need to know more. If you are ready, go find Duen and Liszt and tell them that I allow it."

"Remember, once you decide to join us, there is no turning back, just like the solo in your memory."

"Once you start playing it, there's no way to stop. It's etched into your mind forever, and becomes a nightmare you'll never get rid of."

Melody's teeth were chattering, her eyes were wide, and her breathing was getting faster.

But her strength returned unexpectedly, prompting her to get up from the ground and touch her own weapon that she had always treasured - the flute.

Melody was alone, walking towards the basement.
