章 72: Chapter 72 - Heartbreaking - Leave

Two powerful and enigmatic characters, Hisoka and Chrollo, found themselves standing face-to-face. The tension between them was palpable, and they locked eyes for what felt like an eternity. Hisoka knew this would be the best battle he'd ever have and was overjoyed, but he remained calm when it came to battle techniques.

But to Hisoka's surprise, Chrollo smiled and began to speak. "Now, I am able to talk to you because you are not a member of the Phantom Troupe," he said. As Chrollo saw Hisoka taking off the tattoo on his back, he believed that talking to Hisoka should create no problem.

He explained that he didn't consider himself worthy of a fight because he could not use Nen, the powerful technique that allowed hunters to harness their aura and use it in combat. Chrollo pointed out that Kurapika had used chains to prevent himself from using Nen, making him an unworthy opponent. Hisoka was no fool; he knew that without the use of Nen, there was no need for a battle at all.

Hisoka was stunned by this revelation. He had always wanted to have this fight against Chrollo, and to hear that he was now unable to use Nen was like being put on a heavy rock in his dreams.

Hisoka just stood there dumbfounded, shaking his head and saying nothing.At that time, Chrollo proposed a deal to Hisoka: make the others help him find him and take his chains, and in return, he will agree to fight Hisoka one-on-one when the time comes.

Hisoka agreed to the deal and then took a deep breath.

Hisoka couldn't believe what had just happened. He had come so close to getting the fight he had always wanted, only to have it taken away from him because his opponent could not use Nen. In a fit of frustration, he turned and left the scene, heading towards the airship that would take him away from this place.

As he boarded the airship, Hisoka couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment and defeat.

"You can leave," Hisoka's text read.

Illumi quickly replied, "Understood." will catch up with you soon."

With that settled, Hisoka packed up his belongings and headed towards the airship that would take him away from this place.

As Hisoka's airship took off, Chrollo was left alone on top of the hills, looking towards the east. He couldn't help but think about the fortune that had been written for him by Neon, a member of the Nostrade family. The faeries had predicted that he would face a powerful opponent who would be both his ally and his enemy, and Chrollo couldn't help but wonder if that opponent was none other than Hisoka himself.

But Chrollo was a patient man, and he knew that he would have to bide his time and wait for the right moment to strike. He was confident in his abilities as an individual, and he knew that he could face any opponent that came his way.

And so, as the sun began to set on the horizon, Chrollo continued to stand on the hills, his thoughts consumed by the prophecy that had been given to him. He knew that his path was fraught with danger, but he was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
