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

Chapter 739: Chapter 739 Whetstone



Chimera Ants indeed emitted life force far exceeding that of human Nen Users.

This inherent gap was the source of Zazan's confidence.

But between Squadron Leaders and Royal Guards, there existed an insurmountable biological chasm.

This also leads to-

Moses could effortlessly exploit tactics and skill to drive his black sword straight into Zazan's mouth.

Just as he had done with Cheetu, he unleashed the sword's Aura inside her skull.

Boom!

With a deafening explosion, Zazan's head shattered into pieces, and she lost her life in an instant.

Her headless corpse swayed unsteadily before collapsing to the ground with a heavy thud.

This Squadron Leader, who had a hidden true form, died without ever showcasing her full power.

Had she been more cautious, she might be able to work with her subordinates to force Moses into a desperate situation.

Unfortunately, there were no what-ifs.

After all, unlike the Royal Guards and the King, she lacked their absurd Manifested Aura… the kind that defied logic and transcended the Nen System's framework.

That's why she fell instantly to a first-strike kill.

The sound of Zazan's body hitting the ground drew the attention of the other Chimera Ants.

This was mainly because they discovered that the human they were attacking was actually just a clone constructed using 'life force'.

But they discovered it too late.

Or rather-

Zazan had died too quickly for them to process.

"Zazan-sama...!!!"

"How is this possible?!"

The group of Chimera Ants, led by the spider Chimera Ant, looked at the headless corpse lying on the ground with shock on their faces.

If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed their Squadron Leader could be slain by a human so swiftly.

Facing the shocked gazes of the Chimera Ants, Moses calmly retracted his shadow, then slowly raised the black sword and held it across his body.

"Consider yourselves..."

A hint of red light flashed in those eyes that were as calm as the surface of a windless lake.

"...my whetstone."

Before the words fully faded, Moses took the initiative to charge towards the group of Chimera Ants, who had not yet calmed down.

The killing intent generated by All Extinct enveloped them before he even moved.

In an instant-

The term 'survival of the fittest' emerged in their minds.

It is unknown how much time has passed.

When silence finally returned, all that can be seen was the corpses of a group of Chimera Ants lying on the ground.

Moses was sitting on the back of the spider Chimera Ant, raising his hand to wipe the dark purple blood that splashed on his cheek.

"Huft…"

Exhaling softly, Moses reversed his grip on the black blade and stabbed it into one of the spider Chimera Ant's arms.

Squelch.

The black sword easily penetrated the spider Chimera Ant that had lost its ability to resist.

As the sharp blade entered its body, the spider Chimera Ant let out a weak, pained groan.

Moses glanced sideways.

From his perspective, he could see that the spider Chimera Ant's body was covered with black tendrils, and an Eye of Sight was about to bloom.

With no intention of waiting for the growth period, Moses yanked the blade free, then drove it vertically into the spider Chimera Ant's other arm.

Splash-

Blood splattered.

With this strike, the budding Eye of Sight finally revealed itself fully.

At this time, Kyoka Suigetsu was activated.

"Is the Queen still in the nest?"

Moses lowered his eyes and looked at the barely conscious spider Chimera Ant.

The spider Chimera Ant, who was now under illusion, answered truthfully: "Her Majesty is dead."

"Oh."

Moses nodded in understanding, then plunged the blade into the spider Chimera Ant's forehead.

Instead of pulling it out, he directly dismissed the blade.

As the black sword turned into mottled spots of light, Moses stood up and walked towards the nest.

After killing this group of Chimera Ants led by Zazan, he got no reward from Perception.

It is possible that the cumulative reward mechanism was triggered, but it is also possible that the difficulty of hunting this group of Chimera Ants is too low...

In fact, from Moses's personal perspective, it is not easy to deal with this group of Chimera Ants alone.

Without precise tactics and skill, the battle couldn't be ended quickly.

And if the fight dragged on, it is very likely that he would fall into the dilemma of 'insufficient Potential Aura'.

So-

In a battle where the enemies outnumbered him, Moses must ensure the accuracy of his every decision.

But whether Perception responded or not was beyond his control.

At the very least, killing the Chimera Ants can at least increase the strength of his All Extinct and further sharpen the strength of the black sword.

Suppressing his thoughts, Moses strode toward the nest.

The King was born about ten days earlier than in the original work.

But just like in the original work, he had been born prematurely, which directly caused the Queen's death.

With the Queen gone. the remaining Squadron Leader Chimera Ants would abandon the nest and establish themselves as kings/queens.

In this situation, in order to prevent the Chimera Ants from spreading to all parts of the world, they must quickly mobilize manpower to set up a containment net and catch all the Chimera Ants that are preparing to migrate in one sweep.

However, due to the current shortage of manpower, it is obviously impossible to set up a tight net.

'Let's go to the nest first and take a look at the situation.'

Moses's eyes narrowed in contemplation.

Dealing with the Queen and other Chimera Ants was the task Netero had assigned before leaving.

But the real problem is not the difficulty of combat, but that the fact that their limited numbers couldn't stop the Chimera Ants from scattering.

'I can only try my best...'

Moses raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the nest.

Before he starts hunting down the other Chimera Ants, he wants to go to the nest to see if Kite has 'survived' like in the original work...

High above, in the distant sky.

A Chimera Ant with the characteristics of a dragonfly was flying high in the sky, with its hands tucked into its sleeves, looking down from afar at Moses's figure that was moving quickly through the forest.

He was Flutter, one of the Officer under Leol's command.

'What a terrifying human...'

The excellent vision granted by the dragonfly gene allowed Flutter to easily see the battle taking place on the ground, and he also witnessed with his own eyes the process of Moses eliminating Zazan's squad.

'This must be the reason why Leol-sama is afraid of this human.'

Flutter thought silently in his heart, and then flew in another direction, intending to report this information to Leol, who was waiting for the results.
