Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 239 The Pseudo-Holy Grail War

"Is mine Saber?!" The man in black robes looked at the figure that appeared from the "magic circle," a handsome man who was 1.8 meters tall.

Feel the connection between his body and the "mind beast" before him.

The "mind beast" man who appeared automatically looked upwards.

The man in black robes also gained a different perspective, seeing a boy in a tree in the distance.

At the same time, "Saber Nen Beast" acted immediately, leaping up in an instant, a sword appearing in its hand at extremely high speed.

Before Killua could even react, the attack was upon him.

Killua seemed to see the scene of his own death.

What is this? This is a question that Killua pondered when facing death.

Fortunately, at the last moment...

"Wait a minute." The man in black immediately called out to Saber, and his voice sounded like that of a young man.

Killua only realized what was happening when the sword tip was already in front of his forehead, and he immediately retreated.

The black-robed man's orders came immediately.

"Saber, grab him."

Killua had barely run ten meters when Saber lifted him up, leaving him utterly powerless to resist. Her speed was too fast; he couldn't react at all.

Killua was brought before the man in black.

"Today has been incredibly unlucky," was Killua's thought.

"Can't recite it, but can use Jutsu?" The man in black robes saw through Killua's state at a glance.

"I didn't see anything." Killua covered his eyes, trying to deceive everyone. Even though Killua was only 6 years old, he was already quite mature.

My current actions are only in the hope that the other party will let me go because of my young age and weakness.

After waiting for a long time without seeing the black-robed man give the order to kill him, Killua carefully moved his hand away and secretly sized up the black-robed man.

Despite the dim environment, Killua's night vision was good, and he could see that under the black robe was actually a young man who was not very old.

"What's your name? Now that you've seen it, I can't let you go so easily." Teren looked troubled.

If I had known this would happen, I would have summoned it from my own home.

The reason for not having that option is the fear that summoning might reveal something or allow others to discover some trace.

Based on the circumstances of the summoning, he is the sixth summoner, and now only one more is needed for the Holy Grail War to officially begin.

"My name is Killua, and I really didn't see anything." Killua carefully observed, trying to see if there was a chance to ambush and kill the person in front of him.

However, there was no chance. The person in front of him was a Nen user, which meant that in terms of defense, he was definitely much stronger than him.

With a formidable swordsman beside him, he had absolutely no chance.

He didn't reveal the Zoldycks' name, fearing they might kill him outright.

At this moment, Killua noticed that the black-robed youth in front of him was wearing a glove on one hand.

Why are you wearing gloves?

Teren was in a dilemma; he couldn't let go, as doing so might expose his intelligence and cause him to lose the Holy Grail War.

However, he couldn't kill Killua, a child, without any burden.

They were having a hard time figuring out what to do with Killua.

Should we make him leave Kerry?

"Why are you here so late?" Teren asked about Killua's situation.

Killua selectively revealed some information, and by taking advantage of his age, he managed to extract some intelligence from the black-robed man in front of him.

At the same time, he breathed a slight sigh of relief, because at least for now, the young man in black robes in front of him seemed to be a good person.

"Your brother is going too far. He lets you compete in the Heaven's Arena at your age..." she said, sounding a bit indignant on behalf of Killua.

Then he took Killua directly back to his own home.

The summoned Saber also entered a stealthy, spirit-like state.

Back home, Teren prepared a delicious dinner for Killua, which was just as good as the fried rice he had eaten earlier that day.

"You can stay here with me tonight. I'll take you to Cape Rad tomorrow. Don't come to Kree City for now." Teren even prepared a room for Killua.

This puzzled Killua. Were all the people outside really that nice?

He had originally thought that as long as he dared to keep him by his side, there would be opportunities to launch a sneak attack at any time. He believed that it was impossible for a Nen user to maintain a Nen state at all times.

But he never expected Teren to be so kind to him.

This made it difficult for Killua to bring himself to do it, even if he wanted to.

After Teren successfully summoned the creature, the other six people in Kree City also sensed it, one of whom deliberately waited until the end to summon it.

Just half a month ago, an adventurer obtained a rare card in a secret realm dungeon.

The card, called the Holy Grail War, grants a bag of special powder upon use, along with related knowledge about the Holy Grail War.

There are seven spots available for the Holy Grail War. The cards will appear in any random dungeon in Kree City, without any pattern.

The person who obtains the card will have a Command Seal symbol appear on the back of their hand.

No need to ask, this was still Lucci's doing.

The Holy Grail War, which arises from the Holy Grail system, is quite different from the original Holy Grail War.

The first one is naturally the reward of the Holy Grail War, while the original reward was the path to the Root.

Here, the winner gets the chance to make a wish upon the Holy Grail.

Of course, the opportunity to make a wish is not omnipotent, but has an upper limit. To what extent it can be achieved depends on the winner of this time.

Because this is the first time the Holy Grail War has been held.

The summoned Servants are originally Heroic Spirits.

Here, it's impossible to achieve that level of skill, and it's also impossible to have the strength of a Heroic Spirit. One can only be a Nen Beast with special abilities.

Of course, in terms of strength, it is by no means bad.

The so-called Command Seals have become the Servant's three lives, and there are not as many ways to use them.

Regardless, if this ability to make wishes were to spread, it would be enough to drive many people to fight to the death for it.

The ability to make wishes also exists among Nen abilities. For example, there are similar wishing cards on Greed Island, although they have very large limitations.

In the Holy Grail War here, the power of this wish can be accumulated. If you win the Holy Grail War again, the upper limit of the wish will be increased.

However, for Teren, this was just a fun game to get the Nen ability he wanted.

Teren's main reason for participating in the Holy Grail War was actually because he wanted a certain Nen ability.

It would be too ordinary to say nothing.
