A fierce wind whipped up, causing Loki's white cloak to billow wildly.
Chairman Netero seemed to have misunderstood, but Netero wouldn't believe him, and arguing was pointless.
Besides, the system missions were there; a battle with Netero was unavoidable.
Originally, Loki hadn't intended to kill Netero, but things were different now.
He sensed an overwhelming killing intent in Netero's aura.
Facing Netero in this state, fighting without the intention to kill would likely result in his own death.
He glanced towards the ant nest. Even with his Byakugan, he couldn't see its location.
He didn't know how far away it was.
The Nen aura earlier belonged to Neferpitou, one of the Royal Guards.
Loki couldn't judge her strength yet.
Loki looked at Netero. His aura was far more terrifying than before, several times stronger, its power incomparable to what he'd felt earlier.
It was like the difference between leaves from a vibrant tree and leaves from a decaying one—the same leaves, yet worlds apart.
Netero was at his peak.
'The Chairman at his peak!' Loki's eyes gleamed. 'Interesting! Let's continue our unfinished battle!'
The moment his fighting spirit ignited, an aura almost as powerful as Netero's erupted from Loki, spreading violently.
Crimson Nen light appeared, stirring the surrounding air currents.
The two auras clashed, creating two terrifying storms that collided with a resounding boom.
The violent wind forced Hisoka and the others to retreat. The oppressive aura was terrifying; the wind made it hard to stand.
Balda and the others hadn't even seen Netero clearly before Pakunoda pulled them back.
"Who is that old man? He has such a terrifying aura!" Balda asked, battling the wind.
Pakunoda smiled.
"As a Hunter, you don't recognize him? The Chairman of the Hunter Association. Netero!"
Balda exclaimed, "Chairman Netero? Why is he here?"
"Don't forget, Loki is a wanted criminal, and the restrictions were lifted to capture him," Pakunoda replied. "The Chairman personally coming to capture Loki… is that so strange?"
That made sense, but Balda still found it odd. 'Why not deal with the unknown creatures first, then Loki? Why target Loki now, ignoring the creatures?'
"Ehhh!!!"
"Two humans are fighting!"
Atop the ant nest, a white cat tail swayed, furry ears twitching. Neferpitou, perched like a cat, blinked, watching the distance.
She couldn't see that far, but her Nen clearly showed her the battle.
"Interesting! Humans are killing each other!"
"Perhaps the young King is challenging the old King."
Her Nen confirmed it. Netero was old, Loki young.
Licking her paw, Neferpitou smiled. "Humans appearing here… they're probably after us!"
Meow!
As Neferpitou pondered, Koruto flew up. "Neferpitou-sama, what are you doing here?"
Neferpitou glanced at Koruto. "Many soldiers have been killed by humans. Didn't you notice?"
"Um… I haven't received a report yet."
"There!" Neferpitou pointed. "Two very strong humans are fighting!"
Koruto looked where she pointed, seeing nothing, but Neferpitou wouldn't joke.
"Two strong humans…" Koruto thought.
"I encountered a powerful Nen user. Is one of them wearing a white cloak, Neferpitou-sama?"
"Yes, one is wearing a white cloak," Neferpitou confirmed.
"What do you know about that… strong human?"
Koruto pondered. "Possibly the King of Humanity. A Squadron Leader was killed; the message said it was the King of Humanity. I barely escaped him last time."
Neferpitou's gaze turned playful. "So, those two strong humans might be the Kings of Humanity, fighting for the throne."
Koruto echoed her words.
"Neferpitou-sama, if they are fighting for the throne, it's our chance. The King of Humanity's power threatens us. We can deploy squadrons, kill the King, and present them to the Queen."
Neferpitou blinked. "Alright." "You handle the details. Hurry! The two Kings are fighting fiercely; the victor will be decided soon."
Neferpitou gazed into the dark night.
Boom!!! A violent tremor shook the ground, sending dust high into the air. Loki, his body ablaze, climbed out of the dust cloud, battered but his gaze unwavering. He immediately charged at Netero.
His crimson eyes, visible beneath his fiery red hair, were fixed on Netero.
Thump thump thump! Boom! Crash!
After a few seconds of fighting, Loki was sent flying again, another massive crater appearing in the distance.
Fallen trees crashed to the ground.
