Chapter 168 Reunion
"Bang bang bang—"
The white-haired youth kicked the attacker hard in the chest, sending the figure flying backward.
After crashing into and snapping several trees in half, Neferpitou lay on all fours like a cat on a tree. Before he could fully regain his balance, he quickly jumped to another tree.
In the blink of an eye, the tree she had been standing on was broken in half by a passing boy who used it as leverage.
Neferpitou was like a mouse being chased by a cat, with the surrounding trees collapsing in the wake of their battle.
Dust filled the air, obscuring vision. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Neferpitou lunged forward, rushing towards the boy. His sharp fingernails, like extended blades, swung towards the boy's arm.
If successful, it would naturally be able to break one of the opponent's arms.
If it fails—
The familiar feeling of being blocked and unable to go any further came over her. Nefertiti immediately tried to withdraw his hand, but one hand grabbed her arm and was difficult to shake. It almost crushed the bones in her arm, making a cracking sound. The force was so great that it deformed her arm.
The white-haired boy wore a smile, his constricted pupils indicating he was in high spirits, the black lines on his hands stretched out, and his entire body radiated boundless malice—
"You can be even more interesting, hurry up and become more interesting."
"Too weak, too weak. If you're this weak, I'm not interested in playing with you anymore." He said this, and with his other hand clenched into a fist, he slammed it hard into Neferpitou's chest.
"Sizzle—"
The arm he was holding was still in his hand, but Neferpitou's figure flew backward like a cannonball.
She crashed into nearly half the trees in the forest, finally stopping after rolling several times on the ground, blood silently trickling from the corner of her mouth.
She seemed to have no energy left to even wipe it.
The unhurried footsteps approached, and one could tell from the sound that the person was nonchalant.
The white-haired boy stood in front of her, casually tossing her fallen arm aside.
"No one has ever caught me twice with my Black Flash; most die on the first try." He said this with a hint of praise in his tone. "You—are quite good."
Although he didn't use his full power to unleash Black Flash, if he had used more spell power, or if he had unleashed Black Flash with anger, its power would probably have been even greater.
You should use the blue bar sparingly.
Neferpitou coughed a few times, spitting out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs, and his expression became even more agitated.
"Get up and keep playing with me." The white-haired boy let his hands hang naturally at his sides and kicked the toy he had caught.
Neferpitou struggled to turn over, and because she had lost one arm and had other injuries, it looked difficult for her to get up.
"Feed..." The white-haired boy looked down at her with disdain in his eyes. "You look weaker now."
It's just that he's missing an arm, but it seems like his ability to stand is greatly diminished.
"Useless." He impatiently raised his foot again, the speed of which was as fast as lightning, exceeding the speed of sound. The kick created a gust of wind that howled and vibrated like a sonic boom, and it landed violently on Neferpitou.
They kicked the person who had finally managed to get up dozens of meters away again.
Even if you take precautions early on, it's too late to dodge this kick.
"Are you a monster? Regenerating limbs is a piece of cake for a monster, right? Hurry up and put your arm back on, then get up and keep playing with me." Su Wu casually kicked the arm on the ground next to Neferpitou, urging him in a nonchalant manner.
A toy...she was this human's toy...
Neferpitou lay on the ground without saying a word, reaching out to grab his severed arm.
"Have you two seen enough?" Su Wu turned her head to look at the corner.
There seemed to be only quietly growing trees there, without any movement.
"Come out," Su Wu said impatiently, her tone carrying a hint of warning.
"Long time no see." Two figures suddenly emerged from the shadows, then leaped out using both hands and feet.
Not much different from two years ago, still wearing strange clothes with intricate patterns that are dazzling at first glance, and still sporting ram horns on her head.
The younger sister was still holding a pure white lamb.
The lambs are the same size as they were two years ago.
The names of these two siblings seem to be...
"Aimee, Alice, didn't you two go home?" Su Wu squatted down, rubbing Neferpitou's ear with one hand, and asked the siblings not far away in a low voice.
"We came with Queen Chimera," Amy, the older brother, replied politely.
"We originally planned to capture her and bring her back, but she ate a person while escaping and then gave birth to chimera ants with human characteristics. It was the first time we had ever seen chimera ants that had eaten a person, so my brother and I decided to stay and observe the subsequent development of this species." Alice spoke more, easily revealing their purpose.
However... was the original plan to capture the Chimera Queen and take her back?
"Baa~" The lamb jumped out of Alice's arms, ran to the white-haired boy's feet, and fell to the ground with a thud, dying instantly.
This is a scam.
Those two are truly inhuman.
Because they wanted to see what would happen to the chimera ants that had eaten humans, they stayed behind to watch everything unfold, perhaps even providing some help? They didn't care whether humanity would be wiped out by the developing chimera ants.
After all, they are two non-humans. There are some things that even humans wouldn't care about, so why should non-humans care?
"Hey, after all this time, you still haven't mastered Nen?" Su Wu refocused her attention on her toy, and the hand that had been kneading the other's ears tightened, grabbing the other's hair.
"He's clearly someone who was born with Nen, yet he doesn't know how to use it? It's unbelievable." Su Wu sighed.
He began to understand Su Nu's feelings: guiding toys to become stronger, and then destroying that confidence when the toys became confident because of their increased strength.
It's definitely a way to kill time.
Because I am confident that even if the other party becomes stronger, I am not afraid of them, so I can guide them like a good teacher.
"Let me see what you're capable of, hurry up." He grabbed her hair and forcefully slammed her head against the ground.
With each strike, the ground rumbled and the crater grew larger, revealing the increasing force he used. His hand gripping the other's head seemed capable of crushing it like a ripe fruit with just a little more pressure.
We must escape.
We have to escape.
If this continues, I will die, I will definitely die.
She still had to serve the king and could not die here. She had to go back and tell the king about the strength of the human side.
She was determined to kill him and then go back!
【Terpsichora (Kuroko's Dance)】
Neferpitou allowed his body to be manipulated by the Nen threads, unleashing even greater power than before.
From being forced to slam his head to the ground to using his Nen ability to retaliate, it only took 0.1 seconds.
At that speed, most people are destined to be unable to avoid it.
The Nen threads, which were summoned by the opponent's Nen ability and resembled dolls, were manipulated by the Nen threads. The other end of the Nen threads wrapped around Neferpitou's body, and even his severed arm was manipulated by the Nen threads to launch an attack together.
What if your opponent awakens their Nen ability during the fight?
Wouldn't that be even more fun?
Of course we should keep fighting!
Neferpitou uses his abilities to control himself and unleash even greater power, while Su Wu, with the blessing of the Six Eyes, uses his curse power and Nen throughout his body, allowing him to unleash even greater power as well.
Those without six eyes or insufficient energy can only strengthen or protect certain parts of their body with their power, without amplifying other parts. However, he can make perfect use of his power.
He has top-notch physical abilities and top-notch reaction speed; every single one of his qualities is top-notch.
Its only weakness is that the blue bar isn't long enough.
But... this is nothing to fear.
He didn't think the guy with the cat ears could outlast him.
He didn't use his Heavenly Reversal to interrupt the other party, but instead followed him closely, quietly yet swiftly getting closer.
Neferpitou relentlessly pursued him, whether he dodged or attacked.
The two fought and caused destruction along the way; the aftershocks of their battle alone were enough to make the surrounding environment a mess, as if it had been hit by a sudden storm.
The shockwave from the collision of fists caused the pebbles on the ground to roll.
Their attacks were so fast that afterimages appeared, making it seem as if several of them were fighting simultaneously.
Throughout, the white-haired boy wore a mocking and wicked smile.
"Second Black Flash, I hope you can catch it." A burst of energy suddenly appeared on his outstretched fist.
The dark blue energy seemed to contain boundless power. This punch carried immense force, and wherever the wind from the punch reached, the surrounding grass was torn up, the earth cracked, the trees leaned, and the leaves in the sky seemed to be pulled and spun in the air by this punch.
With one punch, even the sky seemed to darken.
The figure with short, white, wavy hair flew away into the distance like a shooting star.
Several minutes later, a tremendous, earth-shaking noise was heard coming from the other side of the forest.
Looking down into the forest, one side of the trees had already collapsed by a quarter.
"Manipulation type? Or special type again? If it's manipulation type, then it's a bit boring." Su Wu withdrew his gaze, too lazy to care about the current state of the opponent who had been knocked away.
Based on the fact that the opponent's ability only demonstrates the characteristic of manipulation, it is very similar to a control system.
Without testing, it's quite difficult to distinguish between the six major systems.
It's not that the manipulator class is weak or incapable of fighting; it's just that Su Wu doesn't really like playing with manipulators.
He still prefers to fight against Enhancement or Emission types.
Fighting them is much more enjoyable than fighting with other types. Fighting with Hisoka, whose abilities are sticky or have other characteristics, requires a lot of thinking and even psychological warfare. It's a completely different experience.
His mind is already burdened enough; let him relax a bit.
"Ants are very resilient," Aimei said from the side, as if it were a reminder or an objective assessment.
"Shouldn't humans exterminate them?" Alice asked, holding her lamb, adjusting her glasses, her tone calm yet tinged with confusion.
"It has little to do with me." Su Wu waved her hand, too lazy to explain profound truths to these two non-humans.
People are different. As human beings, it is normal for them to exterminate monsters in order to protect themselves or prevent their status from being threatened.
But for Su Wu, all of this meant little.
He has no protective instincts or sense of responsibility towards the people in this world, and moreover...
He knew the human camp would definitely win, so there was no need for him to intervene.
I just don't know if any important characters will die.
"Their strength still has room for improvement. It wouldn't be worth ruining them now," Su Wu said casually.
"I see, so this is how humans think." Aimei said with an expression of sudden realization.
Non-humans who have little contact with humans are about to have their brains swayed by the humans in front of them in no time.
"Humans are so strange, aren't they, little lamb?" Alice looked down and talked to the lamb.
"Is the queen of the Chimera Ants still alive?" Su Wu asked.
"He's still alive, and he's fathered many men, but he's dying soon," Amy said.
"They're still alive..." Su Wu pinched her chin with her index finger and thumb, looking thoughtful.
That's strange, why do I keep feeling like the Queen should be dead already?
What kind of group would have both a queen and a king? When orders are given, whose orders should we listen to?
What kind of "Two Saints Reigning: Chimera Ant Version" is this?
"What were you two doing?" Su Wu squinted at the two non-humans.
"I just helped the Queen Ant a little, allowing her to live," Amy said calmly.
"If the queen ant dies too early, she won't be able to see the subsequent development of the colony." Alice held the lamb, her expression serene, her words carrying an inhuman quality.
What kind of scholars are you two who study and observe the development of species... that you're even concerned about the future development of chimera ants?
"We want to see the outcome between the Chimera ants and humans, and which side wins," Amy said, revealing their ultimate goal.
"But I always feel that the Queen should be dead..." Su Wu frowned, a little unhappy.
Could his intuition be wrong? How could he be wrong!
"He's dying," Amy confirmed his statement.
"It's okay to pretend she's dead for now," Alice nodded, trying to comfort their human friend.
"That sounds much better," Su Wu nodded.
For some reason, I feel that if there's a king, there shouldn't be a queen.
……
"Cough..." Neferpitou woke up, rolling his eyes.
"Am I too weak and not strong enough?" She knelt on the ground, her tail drooping, her ears drooping, seriously reflecting on her own strength.
Why didn't that human chase after me and kill me? Did he think I was no threat?
The summoned doll reappeared beside her, but this time, she used the doll's power to repair her body.
【Terpsichora (Kuroko Maisou)】is a person who can manipulate corpses by summoning demon puppeteers, as well as manipulate her own abilities.
Another ability, Toy Repairer, can be used to repair the body.
The reason she developed this ability was because of her missing arm; she was the first user of this ability.
The severed arm was stitched back together, and the broken internal organs were repaired, just like a tattered doll that has been repaired and looks brand new.
She stood up again and stretched her body, her eyes filled with curiosity.
Experiencing my own abilities for the first time was both novel and fun.
She seems to be quite capable.
Its ears stood up again, and its tail wagged behind it. It seemed to be in a good mood and didn't mind being beaten up at all.
She's gotten even stronger! That's great!
Now I can serve the king better.
Neferpitou wagged its tail even more enthusiastically as it thought of this.
