章 188: Last minute
Two days passed,
Netero, Morel, and Knov finally arrived at their location. Chairman Netero was surprised to see Blaize and the demolished land that had the signs of a hard battle.
"I am relieved to see you here..." Netero said and laughed.
As for Morel and Knov, they glanced at Blaize with interest. Hearing Netero's words, they are sure the man is strong, but why they haven't heard of him before?
"Chairman Netero," Kite greeted, Gon and Killua did the same.
"How strong was the enemy?" Netero asked.
"Look for yourself," Blaize said and gestured with his hands. Then, Netero, Morel, and Knov came forward to look at the Chimera Ant nest in the distance.
"Not good. That thing looks stronger than me." Netero spoke looking at Neferpitou, while Morel and Knov found it unbelievable as Netero is considered one of the strongest Nen users.
Before discussing what to do next, Netero drove out Killua and Gon giving them two halves of shogi tiles.
"We put two assassins in the nearest city!! Whether you fight them or not is up to you. However... if you want to continue to fight chimera ants, take them down and come find us."
With his words, Netero made it clear that he has no place for the weak, here. He only needs the strong!
Knowing their strength and how powerful the chimera ants are, Gon and Killua left NGL. Of course, they plan to come back after defeating Knuckle and Shoot.
--
"Our target is the Queen and the Queen alone. But sneaking past that 'En' is next to impossible without a fight.
If anyone has any brilliant ideas, I'd like to hear them."
Knov suggested that they should exterminate the Ants one by one in silence, Morel agreed with a smile.
Knov then opened a portal beneath him, took out Morel's weapon, a human-sized pipe, and handed it to the latter.
With the pipe, Morel blew smoke that shaped into small rabbits. "Let's find out the enemy's number. Go!"
With his command, the huge number of smoke rabbits marched towards the Chimera Ant nest.
Seeing this, Blaize shook his head, "It doesn't matter how many enemies you kill if you don't find a way to defeat the Royal Guard, it won't change a thing."
"Then what do you suggest that we do?" Netero asked.
--
On the other side,
Neferpitou's ears perked up, perceiving the approaching smoke rabbits. Just as she broods what to do? Shaiapouf appeared and told her to wait.
The new Chimera Ant introduced himself as Shaiapouf, one of the Queen's Royal Guards. "Menthuthuyoupi will soon be born!"
"It doesn't matter if it's normal humans, there's a particularly powerful one among them. His strength is not weaker than ours. We have to be careful!" Pitou spoke her thoughts.
But, Shaiapouf didn't take her words seriously.
--
Blaize came forward and stood next to Netero. "Let's wait for now.
Once the King is born, we will destroy them in one fell swoop."
"How are we going to do that?" Netero glimpsed how strong the Royal Guards are, it's nearly impossible to kill the King with three of them on his side.
"My strategy is very simple..." Blaize discussed his plan with Netero.
"Are you sure there won't be any problem with your plan?" Netero asked.
"Well, I am betting my life on it. Is it not enough?" Blaize asked.
"You are crazy." Kite shook his head and said, "Chairman Netero, I think we should follow your plan."
Netero thought for a moment and expressed his thoughts. "Well, Morel, Knov, Kite, you three follow the plan and try to eliminate the ants one by one. If it doesn't help, we will follow Blaize's method."
--
Days passed as Morel, Knov, and Kite started eliminating the Chimera Ant Squadrons one by one while keeping an eye on Chimera Ant Queen. After some days, the chimera ants didn't send any squadrons out.
Finally, after 20 some odd days, the third Royal guard, Menthuthuyoupi was born. If Blaize is not wrong, there's not much time till King's birth.
In the distance, Morel, Knov, and Kite discussed Chimera Ants, and soon their topic shifted to Blaize.
"Why am I getting the feeling that Chairman Netero is treating that man as his equal?" Morel uttered, glancing at Blaize and Chairman Netero chatting in the distance.
"It's because he's strong. You haven't seen him fight, if you had you wouldn't be surprised." Kite answered.
"Is he that strong?" Knov asked, a little unbelievable.
"You have seen Royal Guard's strength, he exchanged blows with that thing without being at a disadvantage. He had the strength to kill it."
"Then why he didn't kill it?" Knov didn't understand.
"He wants to face off with the King," Morel replied with a smirk. As a hunter, he understands Blaize's thoughts.
--
"I hope everything goes as you said. Otherwise, we will be forced to sacrifice a lot of people."
"If you can handle Royal Guards, I will take care of the King," Blaize replied, confidently.
Another six days passed,
Suddenly, Blaize's looked in the direction of Queen's nest as his haki sensed King trying to come out while Queen coaxing, 'It's still not the time, yet!'
"What happened?" Netero asked.
"He's going to be born soon," Blaize replied.
"How much time do we have?" Netero asked.
"An hour or two."
"What? Are you sure?" Netero, Morel, Knov, and Kite were shocked by Blaize's reply.
Blaize didn't wait for them to react. He simply stretched his right hand and from his palm, a small bluish ball materialized and under his command, it rose to the sky.
"What is it?" Netero asked, looking at the small thing.
"You will know soon. Be prepared, we will act as soon as the King is born." Blaize alerted.
Within a few minutes, the small flame ball increased in size. From the ground, it looked like another Sun, burning fiercely ready to incinerate everything.
Looking at the bluish Sun looming over them, all of them were shocked and felt terror as they could scent the terrifying destruction hidden within that thing.
If that thing falls, they are doomed to die without even their ashes remaining.
Forget about the others, even Netero is shocked. He let out a fake sigh. "As I thought, you didn't fight me at full strength. I am indeed getting old."
