Chapter 118: Shall We?

.......

The question is why would he want something like this to happen to her? In their minds, there is no reason so the two didn't doubt what he had to say.

Though he doesn't care much about whether they believe him or not, instead, Yasuo just observed the monster within his vision with interest apparent in his eyes. 𝔣𝖗𝔢𝖊𝔴𝖊𝔟𝔫𝔬𝖛𝔢𝖑.𝔠𝔬𝔪

His vision which can see more than anyone can imagine, his control domain which always activated seems to want to look deep into the King's soul no fazed at all by the Aura the latter is releasing.

It was at that moment that Pitou appeared in the room looking at the scene stunned and only a second later did the dark Aura around the kind disappeared as the usual neutral expression returned to his face, he looked at the still baffled Pitou saying.

"Pitou... Heal Komugi. I'm counting on you."

The baffled Pitou became even more stunned hearing that voice, the voice of her King that exceeded common consent or refusal.

She felt it... She felt something wetting her cheeks, tears as excitement filled her body hearing her king's order and she swore to fulfill it even at the cost of her life.

The two old men remained motionless as they felt that trespassing on someone overflowing with so much love towards a single life was an act reserved for people with little knowledge of proper conduct.

They weren't such people so Zeno remarked as if he felt nothing but only he knows the emotions he's feeling inside.

"This is turning out to be different from what you told me."

Netero didn't respond even though he felt the same way, instead, he just watched the simple action of Meruem gently handing Komugi to Pitou and Pitou activating her ability instantly, 'Doctor Blythe' a giant doll conjured by Neferpitou, used only to surgically treat injury.

It is equipped with countless medical tools that can be used to provide first aid as well as perform major surgeries.

A mortal wound to the stomach can be treated in less than one hour, a severed arm reattached and fully healed in two or three hours, and destroyed corpses can be reconstructed to be later manipulated.

This is the ability she's using to treat Komugi and also the one she's using to manipulate Kite's corpse.

The king slowly stood up as Pitou started activating her ability and started looking at the three individuals that are also looking at him and to a certain extent, he can estimate their level of power except for the dark-haired man that stood behind the two old men.

While he can judge his physical capabilities, that's all he can see even with his senses focused on him, the man gives an air of harmlessness and tranquility... Peace even but Meruem heard their small talk and knew that peace isn't for someone who says such a thing or at least isn't from his perspective.

He judged from the conversation that the young human has a sensing ability or a role similar, perhaps a human talented enough to rival Komugi's level of talent?

A human strong enough to easily defeat most of his species... And the same could be said for the other two but... It doesn't matter for I am the King.

"Let's change the location, shall we?" That thinking process happened almost instantly and Pitou's ability happened to be able to activate almost instantly.

The two old men noticed her Nen construct appearing as their senses of danger they honed over the years started ringing making them realize the graze mistake they made.

They let their guard down but their different level of experience leads them to have completely different reactions.

Netero became used to having to make decisions at an extremely fast rate, so fast in fact that he found his next course of actions quite easy, so easy he couldn't help but be thankful for all the sparring he had with Yasuo.

His sparring with Yasuo which as expected is a level of sparring uncomprehensible to even some of the stronger Nen users, and one of their strong suits happened to be speed and Yasuo is well, quite fast to say the least to the point that the speed the king has just shown is something he's used to.

So his guard was put up instantly ready to summon his Hyakushiki Kannon, the golden statue that will hold him in its light and scare the darkness away but... he noticed Meruem's course of action and determined it's not dangerous.

As the moment Meruem said that, he walked or so it seems from some's perspective as he just slowly walked between the two old men like time is frozen around him but Netero was able to see the scene clearly in contrast to Zeno who barely noticed anything... Negligence can do that to someone...

Yet against Meruem's expectation, there was someone that didn't make any movement.

The human didn't blink nor did even a single muscle of his body twitch nor did his eye follow the King's movement, He just stood there like he noticed nothing... like he has no idea a monster is walking past him.

Instead, the young human asked one of the old men casually breaking the tense atmosphere with no care in the world.

"I will continue the mission as agreed but do you want me to go with you as well or stay here and make sure everything goes well?"

Netero shook his head letting out a sigh finding the situation bizarre, 'Two monsters in the same room and I don't know which one is more dangerous... No, I know... I know very well.

Meruem is more dangerous to humanity while Yasuo is... I don't really know.'

'And what is scarier than the unknown?' Thought the old man as he wanted to answer though before he could he heard the king who is still walking make a remark.. or an order, "No... Both of you will come."

A statement like he won't accept otherwise, as a degree of god, a statement that was easily predicted by Yasuo as he simply answered not bothered at all, "Sure..."

And so the three humans walked following closely behind the King who didn't seem to be affected by Yasuo's casualness.

One of the old men however blamed his carelessness as even though he knows Yasuo's monstrous talent, he knows this isn't just due to talent... He just let his guard down, something he shouldn't have allowed.

"Proceed..." Remarked the King as they left the room with the darkness in the sky coming within their vision again.

He added, "A simple plan... Causing confusion to separate me from the royal guards while minimizing human casualties as much as possible but what you have yet to realize is that it doesn't matter... If the royal guards are with me or not, that just doesn't matter, in the end, you'll lose. So proceed..."

Zeno didn't seem to care much about the word for the contract with Netero became void the moment something like an innocent person getting hurt happened because of him so he did one last thing for their friendship's sake.

He got into the same stance he had when he manifested the massive dragon and from within his palm, a golden dragon was formed, one that looks similar to the one before albeit much smaller.

The golden dragon flew into the sky with Netero jumping on it and taking a seat while Meruem jumped and clutched on one of the dragon's legs with his tail appearing as if he is simply floating in the sky.

Yasuo on the other hand just lightly jumped on the dragon's back and remained standing on it, and no matter how heavy the wind is due to the dragon's speed, it did nothing to move him from his place.

Yasuo didn't mind going with them as it mattered not, the king has taken into consideration Yasuo's unknown strength and personality traits and knew at that moment that leaving him within the palace could be dangerous to the royal guards and... to Komugi.

In Meruem's eyes, Yasuo appeared to have no care for his species lives no matter whether they're enemies or not nor did he have any consideration for the frail life that is Komugi.

So If he was left there, then what's going to stop him from taking advantage of Pitou's state of weakness as her ability forces her to enter the state of Zetsu making her powerless against people as strong as the three humans he just met.

At the same time, the scene was being seen by the eyes of the young hunter, the formerly bright cheerful hunter whose eyes started darker and darker as the darkness within his bright heart started consuming the light within setting a flare a sequence of events to Yasuo's liking.

The young adventurer named Gon saw the king leaving the room and saw the three of Yasuo, Netero, and Zeno leave the room.

So he naturally came to the conclusion that his target is within or at least close by so the boy headed there with the white-haired boy following closely after, the boy who can clearly see the darkness with his best friend's eyes...
