Chapter 119: His Mind Remains A Mystery

......

.......

The bright sun in the sky flew and flew with no signs of stopping any soon, a sun that has darkness within, darkness darker than anyone can imagine yet... It remained a sun that shone brightly in the darkness of the night yet none knows what the darkness is or what the light is.

And so the bright golden dragon flew through the sky with a specific destination in mind.

A military testing ground where Netero planned for the fight to take place and the perfect place to activate his final measure which will cause a bit of destruction, to say the least.

Quietness, silence is what engulfed the place for most of the way there until Yasuo asked, "You asked preciously for me to let you have your fun but does that mean you're here to die? Or should I interfere if necessary?"

Netero raised his brows wondering, "Hoh ho... You don't think I can win?"

Yasuo nodded, "You can't win, the strongest suit of the ants is their physical capabilities and natural talent.

And he... Well, too strong for your attacks to do fatal harm to him so while he won't be able to do anything for a certain amount of time, at the end of the day, you'll be the one that will end up exhausted meaning you will make mistakes he can make use of... And perhaps your fight will go for quite a while... possibly until your Aura fully expends."

A gleam of light passed in the old man's face trusting the young Zoldyck's assessment and he thought about his question.

Specifically the part where he says 'You're here to die' allowing him to confirm that the young Zoldyck already knows what his plan is, what his last measure is.

So he answered the real question, something Meruem who can clearly hear everything didn't pick, "I don't know... I'm still thinking about it but I will definitely let you know... What do you think?"

Yasuo shrugged his shoulder, "It's up to you, just let me know and I will interfere..." To which Netero nodded with a small serene smile on his face thinking quietly on how he wants the day to end... On his fate. The flight only continued for a bit more with Yasuo closing his eyes standing frozen on the top of the dragon, like he is dozing off.

But only he knows the reality of such a simple action, the reality that the king's percussions just don't matter, he can kill a human as weak as her across continents so this little bit of distance just doesn't matter.

His vision encompasses all he wants to see and he wants to see the events playing out at the royal palace.

So he can clearly see those events through the invisible eyes he has everywhere and when he sees something, it means it's within his grasp.

It means that if he so wished, that thing will be in danger of falling into the abyss that is his hands and, Nothing escapes if he so wished.

It just didn't matter as this is the reason Yasuo didn't use his teleportation ability before... Because of what happens next. The moment they reached their destination and the golden dragon dispersed.

The three fell from high in the sky landing lightly on the military testing ground, the place where the incoming battle will take place but that's not something Yasuo cares about for now so he turned his head looking at Netero and nodding, "Good Luck."

And even for someone like Meruem, someone with the statue of a king, not just to a specific country but to his whole species, even someone like that wasn't able to stop Yasuo's next course of action.

A simple action performed by the Zoldyck, simply walking straight through what appeared to be a dark shadowy portal.

The portal appearing next to him instantly and he walked through it instantly, he simply walked... or so it appeared as the King knew that instant that even if he used his full speed, he still won't be able to stop him...

Time seemed to move slowly as he walked through the portal disappearing with the portal disappearing instantly as well.

"He's troublesome, just what did you expect?" Remarked the old man stroking his small beard.

The King's expression didn't change as if not affected by what happened, not affected by the fact that the young human's speed rival his. "I certainly expected him to try something... He won't try anything, right?" Remarked Meruem before asking.

Netero smiled shaking his head, "He won't. He isn't interested in such a thing nor will he needs such means for his mission.

And just so you know, his mission is quite simple, make sure the king and the royal guards are no more by the end of the day so he won't interfere unless he has to."

A confusing conversation with one asking a vague question then the other one responding by a confusing answer, but... They understood what the other meant quite clearly.

The old man understood what the King's question was really about and the King knew Netero would understand and the latter didn't mind explaining... Albeit if that's the truth or not is something only Netero knows.

However, that didn't stop the King from making his own assessment and determining that it will take more than ten minutes to go back to the palace so if the young human's trick was what he thinks it is, then going back is useless. So The king decided to ignore what the human might do and instead put some faith in Pitou and the order he has given her.

Without any change in his expression, the King sat down keeping his thoughts to himself while Netero raised his brow noticing his strange action and that lead to a sequence of events that lead to their fight.

In the same room where innocent blood was splattered, where the life of an innocent white-haired girl was almost lost.

The room where Pitou was left healing the little girl called Komugi. In that same room, another person could be seen sitting motionlessly not far from the crouching Pitou and another person nor far behind him.

Pitou has most of her attention focused on the patient next to her, her patient who happened to be Komugi who is being treated by her ability 'Doctor Blythe'.

The other person in the room is a young boy who has an emotionless expression on his face but one can clearly notice the pent-up emotions within his eyes and the darkness within.

They say the eyes are the window to the soul and in this case, it fits perfectly.

Not far behind Gon is one of the royal guards, Pouf who just stood there with his eyes narrowed, the silence between the three continued for a few seconds before a strange event happened.

A dark circle appeared within the room from which a human walked from before it closed and Pitou happened to know that human, the same one she couldn't sense and the same one that was with the other two humans.

Also, the one who was ordered by the king to go with them as well.

Realizing what that could mean made Pitou's eyes widen as she wondered with a hint of desperation apparent in her tone, "What happened... to the King?"

And Pouf picked that desperation as clear as day, after all, one of his abilities is to be able to sense emotions, an ability he uses quite well as that's not its only use but just sensing those emotions caused pouf's emotional state to become unstable.

The implications of her question and emotions terrified him so as his King's most loyal soldier, he was ready to go in the direction he knows the kind is in, Pitou pointed in that direction so he knows what to do... Only there is another thing that needs to be done.

And so the two humans in the room suddenly started feeling something... Something that'd kill a normal human instantly.

The vast vile killing intent spreading through the room and the whole palace even ready to go on a rampage if they so heard what they feared most... Something happening to the King.

At that moment all logical sense left Pitou leaving her animal instincts and protecting the King as their guide.

If something her instincts heard and didn't like then she'll take action while Pouf was barely holding himself back from killing the human already but he wants to know what happened and if the human refused to answer then he'll have to force him to do so.

Yet even with the dark vile Aura surrounding them, the two humans didn't seem fazed at all like the implications of that killing intent didn't matter for them at all except they have different reasons for not being fazed.

The young Gon just didn't care, the darkness building up within his eyes couldn't allow such a thing to faze him while on the other hand, the young Zoldcyk named Yasuo with an expressionless face, as expressionless as he was the first he came to the Island... He just didn't consider them a threat.
