I'm Really Not A Nen Exorcist (HxH Fanfic)

His original plan had been to secretly consume greed, but human vigilance forced him to change his strategy.

That's why he sent a hundred humans to this place.

Only here can he feed in peace without being disturbed.

Moses glanced at the wrinkles on Mammon's forehead and thought to himself, 'The level of human alertness this creature mentioned was probably because I reported the situation here to Netero.'

It wasn't hard to imagine...

Once Netero received the relevant information, he would definitely inform the International Permit Agencies and work together with them to devise a response plan.

But Mammon wasn't aware of this. Given his understanding of humans, he simply believed their heightened vigilance was too high.

Just as Moses was observing Mamon's reaction, screams began to echo more frequently from inside the ruins.

It was likely that the living armors and head-holding human statues had begun to eliminate the outsiders.

Even amateur hunters, with physical abilities beyond ordinary people, couldn't escape the siege of these controlled entities, let alone a group of ordinary civilians.

From the moment they stepped into the ruins, what awaited them was only the sudden chopping down of the Grim Reaper's scythe.

Listening to the increasing frequency of the screams, Moses frowned slightly.

"Human, I don't need to eat very often, only about once every three months."

Mammon noticed Moses's reaction and said in a cold tone that was unique to predators:

"Each time, I only select a hundred humans. Additionally, given your species' limited ability to accept things, I deliberately choose humans with criminal records. Heh… If it were you humans..."

At this point, Mammon suddenly fell silent.

There was no need to say more.

Humans were perfectly willing to slaughter other creatures to satisfy their appetite, but they will never allow a beast that had tasted human flesh to continue living.

Moses could sense Mamon's attitude toward the matter.

'Even when selecting its prey, this creature deliberately chose those with criminal histories. This extra effort from the perspective of a predator seems unnecessary...'

'Caution?'

'No.'

'It can be said that it is walking on thin ice.'

Moses felt a little complicated and asked, "Why go out of your way to explain all this to me?"

"Human, why bother asking when you already know the answer?"

Mammon stared into Moyu's eyes and calmly replied, "All I want is to maintain the status quo."

'In other words, don't ruin what it has right now.'

"…"

Moses understood and couldn't help but pursed his lips.

He knew how to enter the ruins, and he saw with his own eyes how Mammon threw a hundred humans into the ruins.

So, as long as he wanted to, he could easily destroy Mammon's means of survival.

Mamon was aware of this, which is why he went out of his way to explain his motivations and reasons to Moses.

"If you want to maintain the status quo..."

After a moment of silence, Moses looked into Mammon's obsidian-likeeye and said calmly, "Instead of using the 'talking' method, wouldn't it be easier to just kill me?"

This is a very risky probe.

But it was also a straightforward way to confirm something.

As soon as he said this, the life energy around Mammon momentarily paused.

"Good suggestion."

He looked at Moses, and his wings, which had been folded up before, slowly stretched out.

At the same time…

The life energy covering his smooth, naked body suddenly erupted like a flood, instantly forming a surging and overwhelming Aura.

Whoosh-!

The powerful Aura transformed into a fierce whirlwind, lifting the gravel and debris around Mammon, swirling it into the sky.

Facing the powerful Aura from Mammon at such a close distance, Moses's pupils shrank slightly.

After all, even Netero would have to admit defeat when it comes to the amount of Aura Mammon displayed at this moment.

As Moses stood in the path of this overwhelming Aura, he couldn't help but think of the Chimera Ants in the original work...

'The only thing that can be compared to this mysterious creature is probably the Royal Guards of the Chimera Ants in the original work.'

But there's difference…

The powerful Aura released by Mammon did not contain the kind of malice or even killing intent that the three Royal Guards of the Chimera Ants had, which was enough to terrify Knov to the point of losing the will to resist.

This is also what Moses risked his life to verify.

Although he could clearly resolve the situation through force, Mammon is still willing to choose negotiation.

Such a humbling retreat put Moses in a difficult position.

…

Time goes back to ten minutes ago.

Inside the ruins.

Milluki, despite his fat figure, was demonstrating remarkable agility, weaving through the ancient structures with ease and speed.

He didn't bother to deal with the armors and strange statues wandering around. At this moment, his only concern was making money.

"Sigh, if only they had a bit of self-awareness, they wouldn't be dying so miserably."

Listening to the frequent screams coming from behind him, Milluki stepped lightly on the top of an ancient building and shook his head slightly.

"Oh? That's... gold coins?"

His gaze locked onto the open space in front of a temple, where scattered objects, seemingly gold coins, could be seen scattered on the ground.

Milluki's eyes lit up, and his round face broke into a grin as he quickened his pace.

"It's gold coins indeed!"

Coming to the flat ground in front of the temple, Milluki picked up one of the ancient gold coins on the ground, his eyes sparkling.

"Too few, it's not enough!"

Millluki suddenly looked towards the temple with its doors open.

A few minutes later-

Milluki emerged from the temple with his upper body naked, carrying a large bundle of coins wrapped in his shirt on his shoulder.

"Hahaha…"

After leaving the temple, Milluki was grinning ear to ear.

This amount of ancient gold coins is enough for him to buy out-of-print game cartridges, and also allows him to stay at home without working for a long time.

'This is awesome!'

Milluki couldn't suppress his excitement and ran as fast as he could in the direction he came from.

As for the group of ordinary people trapped and facing death in the ruins...

They had nothing to do with him!

Rushing to the outer area of the ruins, Milluki still had an excited smile on his face.

"Huh?"

But suddenly, Milluki felt a terrifying presence nearby, causing the smile on his fat face to freeze.

'What is that!?'

Milluki turned his head in doubt and looked towards the source of the Aura. Then, he saw Moses and Mammon, whose body was radiating an immense Aura, facing each other.

Seeing this, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and his face was full of shock and disbelief.

'What's going on?'

Milluki was completely dumbfounded.

Both Moses and Mammon immediately sensed Milluki's presence and turned their gazes toward him simultaneously.

Facing the heavy gazes that came these two, Milluki's body couldn't help but tremble.

'Aren't they supposed to be confronting each other?'

'So why are they suddenly turning their gaze on me?'

'I'm just passing by!'

'No, I need to think of something quickly!'

Milluki's expression contorted in panic, his face twisting into a smile even more pitiful than crying, and then-

"I'm Killua's brother!"

"Since we were little, whether it was toys or snacks, as long as Killua liked it, I always gave it to him!"
