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

From the moment the Chimera Ant King was born, the worst-case scenario had to be prepared for.

At the very least-

A retreat path had to be secured.

Moses's sudden descent to the lowest level of the nest was to open up this retreat path.

His arrival immediately intimidated the surrounding Chimera Ants.

In fact, even Morel and the others were briefly intimidated.

It wasn't just the terrifying killing intent Moses released, but also the lingering trace of Post-Mortem Nen that made them instinctively think of the ominous Aura that had erupted from the upper levels earlier.

Among the entire team, Kanzai was the only one who reacted relatively calmly.

After all, he had already witnessed Moses's killing intent and various techniques that emitted Post-Mortem Nen.

"Open the passage!"

Kanzai quickly looked at Knov and reminded him.

Out of absolute trust in Moses, Kanzai would not have any doubts about Moses's sudden order to retreat.

In his opinion, since Moses issued such a decisive retreat command in this situation, it means that the situation has reached an extremely critical point.

Fortunately, Knov didn't waste the time Moses had bought.

At a time like this, there was no room to worry about the exposure of their abilities.

Knov's face was tense and he silently channeled his Aura, opening a passage to the Four-Dimensional Apartment directly on the ground.

When Moses saw Knov open the entrance to the Four-Dimensional Apartment, he quickly withdrew his gaze and directly detonated the Aura of the black sword in his hand.

Boom!

The black sword exploded in Cheetu's mouth, and the impact caused Cheetu's head to burst apart like a watermelon.

Splat, splat-

Blood and flesh splattered onto Moses's back.

However, Moses didn't care at all. While maintaining the release of his All Extinct, he slowly walked toward the exit of the nest.

The Chimera Ants around him seemed frozen in time by the killing intent Moses was emitting. They all stared at Moses who was walking slowly out of the nest.

If this group of Chimera Ants had also been affected by Kyoka Suigetsu, they would have likely reacted like Pitou, with their emotions fluctuating violently, thus accelerating the spread of the black tendrils.

Their momentary paralysis gave Knov and the others enough time to enter the Four-Dimensional Apartment without any issues.

However, before entering the Four-Dimensional Apartment, Morel didn't waste the smoke he had already gathered in his mouth.

[Deep Purple]

The white smoke pouring out of Morel's mouth quickly transformed into humanoid soldiers, surrounding him.

Deep Purple was a Manipulation-Type Ability, so Morel could issue basic commands to them, giving them some autonomous functionality.

In view of these conditions, Morel summoned as many smoke soldiers as possible before entering the Four-Dimensional Apartment, so that he could at least provide some help to Moses and Netero.

Although-

Morel was well aware that the assistance these smoke soldiers could offer was limited...

As he entered the Four-Dimensional Apartment, Morel's gaze, through the gaps in the Purple Smoke Soldiers, fell on the man exuding an astonishing Aura.

Moses immediately noticed Morel's gaze and tilted his head to nod slightly towards him.

"…"

Morel pursed his lips and remained silent, then immediately retreated into the Four-Dimensional Apartment.

As he entered, Knov swiftly closed the entrance.

…

Inside the Four-Dimensional Apartment.

After escaping from the stressful battlefield, Bushidora managed to calm down.

Before taking on this mission, he had never imagined he would be fighting a group of monsters.

If it had just been a few monsters, he wouldn't have performed so poorly.

Morel glanced at Bushidora, who was still shaken, and said nothing. Instead, he looked at Knov.

Knov raised his eyes to meet Morel's inquiring gaze, adjusted his glasses out of habit, and said in a deep voice, "Let's start by organizing the information we have."

"Right."

Morel's expression was solemn.

Knov continued, "The worst news right now is that the Chimera Ant King has been born. Judging by the intensity of his Aura, in terms of combat strength alone, he's likely already beyond a level we can handle..."

Having said that, Knov slowly walked towards another door in the Four-Dimensional Apartment, saying as he walked:

"And what's even worse... the Chimera Ant King is heading toward the Chairman. This is probably the main reason why Moses told us to retreat first."

The strength of the King's Aura was so overwhelming, and he had no intention of concealing it, so even though Knov and the others were in the middle of a chaotic battle, they were able to grasp the King's movements.

"What do you mean?"

Kanzai asked with a frown, unable to connect the scattered information.

Knov glanced at Kanzai and did not complicate his speculation. Instead, he simply said, "What I mean is that Moses, based on the Chimera Ant King's movements, judged that the Chairman would likely be defeated in a short time. That's why he told us to retreat in that situation."

"…"

Kanzai fell silent upon hearing this.

Even though he had personally felt the strength of the King's Aura, deep down, he still couldn't believe that Netero, the leader of the Hunter Association, would be so easily defeated.

But since this conclusion came from Moses's judgment, it carried a high degree of credibility for him.

Morel glanced at Kanzai, who suddenly fell silent, and in his mind drifted back to the battle between Netero and Pitou.

'If even a Royal Guard was difficult to deal with, how much more so the Chimera Ant King, who stood above the Royal Guards?'

'Chimera Ants, with their hybrid human genes and Nen Abilities, had become this terrifying!'

The thought of Netero having to fight against the two monsters, the King and Youpi, alone...

'Just being defeated?'

'The worst-case scenario would be his death, right?'

Morel instantly thought of all sorts of tragic outcomes.

In order to temporarily avoid these outcomes, the only option was...

"Retreat."

He shifted his gaze to Knov.

Knov understood immediately and nodded at Morel.

…

Inside the nest.

After watching Morel and the others enter the Four-Dimensional Apartment, Moses no longer paid attention to the surrounding Chimera Ants.

As for the Deep Purple Soldiers Morel had left behind, they were better than nothing.

[Shadow Shift]

With a thought, Moses exchanged places with a shadow outside the nest, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

As Moses disappeared, the surrounding Chimera Ants seemed to finally react and all looked at Cheetu, who had turned into a headless corpse on the ground.

…

Outside the nest.

The attacks of the 100-Type Guanyin never stopped.

The golden palm strikes flattened the nearby forest, and Youpi, who is at the center of the attacks, had no ability to fight back.

No matter what means of resistance he took, he was eventually suppressed by Netero under the palm of Guanyin.

The pinnacle of technique-

This was how it should be.

If there are no external factors, this battle might have continued until one side was completely exhausted.

This was what Netero had thought.

But with the arrival of the King's Aura, Netero's expectations were shattered, and were replaced by a strong sense of crisis.

But for some reason...

That monster, despite radiating overwhelming malice, didn't take the opportunity to ambush him.

'Humanity?'

A ripple stirred in Netero's otherwise calm heart.
