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

The Chimera Ant King...

Has been born!

When that Aura, which is akin to a harbinger of doom itself, swept through the inside and outside of the nest, everyone engaged in battle immediately became aware of this news.

Some things don't need to be confirmed with your own eyes.

Because its presence is as glaring as the scorching sun. Even if they close their eyes, they can still clearly feel its existence.

Upon realizing that the King had been born, except for the Royal Guards who had been waiting for the King's birth, Moses and the others, as well as the Chimera Ant Squadron Leaders, couldn't help but be deeply shaken.

Within that Aura, which seemed as though it wanted to devour all living beings, was condensed an unimaginable evil.

Deep within the nest's passageways.

Moses swiftly navigated through them, his expression extremely solemn.

'The Chimera Ant King's time of birth...'

'Was actually at least a week earlier than in the original timeline!?'

'What variables had caused this?'

The unexpected situation forced Moses's brain to work at full speed.

Meanwhile, deep in the dark and silent ant nest's tunnel ahead, it seemed as if there were countless pitch-black hands that wanted to pull everything passing through into the darkness.

Moses knew this was a sensory effect caused by the King's Aura, and it also served as a warning, telling him not to proceed further, otherwise, he would be swallowed by endless darkness.

"…"

However, the hesitation lasted only for a moment, and Moses resolutely took another step forward.

Although the King's premature birth was beyond his expectations, there was still a chance!

As long as he made good use of the trump card he had just obtained, named 'Neferpitou'...

Moses no longer had time to dwell on the reasons for the Ant King's earlier birth. After accepting this reality, he made a judgment on the entire situation as quickly as possible.

That is-

He must kill the King before he comes into contact with Nen!

The Queen's birthing chamber.

Pouf, who should have been monitoring the battle from behind the scenes, decisively abandoned all other thoughts and rushed to the scene after sensing the birth of the King.

He had already been on standby near the Queen, so he quickly arrived at the scene to welcome the birth of the King.

As soon as he arrived, what greeted Pouf's eyes was a being with a crown-like structure on its head, a face as if carved by a knife, a pair of blood-red eyes, earlobes hanging down to its shoulders, and a strong sense of oppression all over its body.

Pouf only took a quick glance, then knelt on one knee without hesitation, expressing his pure submission to the newborn Chimera Ant King.

However, even with a very brief glance, Pouf could clearly see the King's robust physique, with well-defined muscles, a body colored in shades of blue and purple.

The most striking feature was the powerful tail, which is as thick as an arm, with a needle-like tip that resembled a medical syringe.

This is their king-

A being synonymous with strength from the moment of birth!

"King."

Calling out the identity of the King in the most respectful tone, Pouf lowered his head and almost pressed his posture to the ground.

"From this moment on, I shall become your most loyal guard. You may command me to do anything."

"Hmm."

The King looked down at him and acknowledged Pouf's submissive gesture.

"I'm hungry."

The King retracted his gaze and looked outside the nest with an expressionless face.

Among all the potential food candidates, only the refined scent outside the nest made him salivate.

"King, please forgive me for being late."

At this moment, Pitou, who had lost an arm and appeared rather disheveled, arrived at the scene. She immediately knelt on the ground like Pouf and expressed her pure submission to the King.

"I am your most loyal guard, Pitou. Anything you desire, I shall deliver to you t!"

"…"

The King glanced at Pitou's severed arm.

Although he could intuitively feel that Pitou and Pouf were genuinely loyal to him, he had no sympathy at the moment. All he had was an urgent desire to taste the food.

Pouf had initially wanted to inform the King that Pitou had fled the battle and brought danger to them...

But he could see that the King's mind was now focused on eating, and the intensity of this desire left no room for interference.

Realizing this, Pouf wisely suppressed the thought in his mind.

For him, the King's will was more important than anything else.

"Hmm? Where is that human..."

In the surveillance footage sent back by his clone, Moses's figure was missing.

Pouf was slightly startled at this.

'Due to the birth of the King, my attention had been briefly distracted, causing him to lose track of that sword-wielding human...'

'No, that wasn't it.'

Pouf's thoughts were racing.

Having a clear understanding of Moses' strength, he does not believe this was a coincidence.

In his opinion, it was highly likely that Moses had seized that fleeting moment to deliberately evade his surveillance.

'That damned human...'

Pouf's brows twitched.

'I need to get rid of this troublesome human as soon as possible.'

'But before that, King's demands were of utmost importance.'

"King, please wait a moment. I will prepare your meal immediately!"

Pouf lowered his head to the ground and said with utmost respect.

He already had a plan in mind.

As long as he joins forces with Pitou, they will definitely be able to defeat Moses.

This would not only satisfy the King's hunger, but also eliminate a threat.

After hearing what Pouf said, the King showed no reaction, but stared intently in the direction outside the nest.

"No need, I..."

The King slowly raised his arm, his slightly thick fingers gently pointed at Netero's position, and he said lightly: "will hunt personally."

Netero's well-honed Aura had undoubtedly piqued the King's interest.

Or rather-

It had awakened the deep-seated feeding desire within the Chimera Ant's genes.

Pouf's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to speak to dissuade him, but in the end, he suppressed this idea which would only provoke the King's anger.

"King, please allow me to report something to you."

Instead of trying to dissuade the King from hunting personally, Pouf settled for the next best thing and planned to let the King know about another more threatening human inside the nest.

"Speak."

The King's gaze remained fixed, as if he could see through the thick walls of the nest to where Netero and Youpi were battling fiercely in the distance.

Pouf still knelt on the ground with his head lowered, and he said respectfully: "There are a group of intruders causing chaos within the nest. Among them is a human with a sword who poses a significant threat. Pitou's severed arm was his doing."

"…"

The King listened to Pouf's report, but he showed no reaction.

To be more precise, he had no interest in the dangerous human mentioned by Pouf.

At this moment, the King, whether due to his urgent desire to eat or his interest in being exposed to new things, is firmly hooked by Netero's Aura.

In comparison, Moses, who had been consciously suppressing his Aura, did not attract the attention of the King.
