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

Royal Palace, front yard.

After delivering Netero to the medical team, Knov quickly returned to the front courtyard and began transferring the remaining hostages into the Fourth-Dimensional Apartment at top speed.

Once all the hostages had been evacuated, the next task was to establish a safe retreat path for his teammates.

"Palm, go back first."

After shoving the last hostage into the Fourth-Dimensional Apartment, Knov turned his head toward Palm, who stood with disheveled hair and a white dress, looking like a horror movie character.

As support-type Nen Users, neither he nor Palm were suited for direct combat against the Chimera Ants.

So there was no need for Palm to remain on-site now.

"Ah…"

When Palm heard Knov's order, she hesitated.

But the next second, a stern glance from Knov made her obediently step into the Fourth-Dimensional Apartment.

After watching Palm leave, Knov closed the passage to the Fourth-Dimensional Apartment and stood up to look at the battle situation on Morel's side.

'Hired help... you can't expect too much from them from the start.'

Knov habitually adjusted his glasses, and a solemn look appeared in his eyes.

As soon as Zeno and Silva from the Zoldyck Family left the field, the pressure on Morel and the others had suddenly doubled.

If it weren't for the extremely high tolerance rate brought by Moses's Deep Purple, they likely would've lost in a matter of moments.

While Knov wasn't directly participating in the battle, he could see the overall situation more clearly from the sidelines.

In this confrontation, Zeno and Silva had been crucial.

Without the long-range suppression power from the two of them, Youpi was free to go on a rampage.

Although the ones he was killing were all smoke soldiers created by Morel, each one that fell shortened the time Morel could hold out.

Though both Kanzai and Bushidora were Enhancers, the gap in their Manifested Aura greatly limited their combat value.

At this rate, it would be impossible to hold out long enough for Potclean to become a 'debt collector'...

'If I can just get them safely into the Fourth-Dimensional Apartment...'

Knov weighed the current situation and planned his next move in his head.

In his opinion, whether it was Moses who was restraining the King, or Morel and his men who were besieging Youpi, there was no way they could win the battle.

But the key to this action is not 'individual victory', but to achieve the conditions for 'releasing the rose'...

In other words, the outcome of the fights didn't matter.

Now all the 'hostages' had already been evacuated, the rose could be activated at any moment.

But before that, the Chimera Ant extermination team needed to retreat into the Fourth-Dimensional Apartment.

The problem was…

It is not an easy task to arrange all his teammates to retreat to the Fourth-Dimensional Apartment under the nose of that monster.

Knov racked his brain for a solution.

But no matter how he played it out in his head, all the possible outcomes involved someone having to sacrifice themselves...

"I... can't afford to waste any more time here."

Knov bit down hard on his thumb, his brows tightly furrowed.

The longer he stood there trying to figure things out, the more precious time he was wasting.

He dropped his hand and took a deep breath.

'Since my mind couldn't find a way, then maybe my body should move first.'

Suppressing the creeping fear in his heart, Knov rushed towards the battle zone where Morel and others were.

At that moment,

Youpi is unstoppable.

Having undergone evolution and growing in battle, he is no longer someone that Morel and the others can contend with.

The tactics they adopted were, in Youpi's view, tantamount to a last-ditch struggle.

The only thing that continued to irk Youpi was that annoying, persistent Potclean.

Even now, Youpi couldn't figure out what Potclean's ability was.

However, he knew that as long as he killed Knuckle, the irritating little thing beside him would naturally disappear.

"This is getting old."

Youpi raised the gun barrel with a human face and with a single Nen Beam, he pierced through and destroyed several smoke soldiers who looked exactly like Knuckle.

In order to eliminate the potential threat from Potclean, Youpi clearly prioritized killing Knuckle.

Naturally, Morel wasn't going to let him succeed. He used the mimicking abilities of the Deep Purple to produce multiple decoys of Knuckle, and also himself.

Realizing that the Deep Purple soldiers weren't strong enough to hurt Youpi, Morel gave up on individual power and focused on overwhelming numbers.

As the number of smoke soldiers increased, so too did the effectiveness of their disguise.

Youpi kept slaughtering them, while Morel kept blowing out one smoke soldier after another.

However, without the suppressive fire from Zeno and Silva, the speed at which Morel blew out the smoke soldiers could not keep up with the speed at which Youpi cleared the smoke soldiers.

Fortunately, Kanzai, Bushidora, Kurapika, Killua and the others attack Youpi from time to time, which can help buy Morel a little time to create the smoke soldiers.

Despite this, Mo Morel was still feeling the strain, and his Potential Aura was being consumed too quickly. He wasn't sure how much longer he could last.

The situation on the field became increasingly unfavorable for them.

Just at this moment, the lion Chimera Ant, Leol, entered the scene with his squad.

'There are other Chimera Ants here...?'

Seeing the arrival of Leol and other Chimera Ants, the expressions of Morel and the others suddenly changed.

They would never have thought...

After the battle had reached this point, there was still a squad of Chimera Ants inside the palace that had not yet been dispatched.

"Youpi-sama! We're here to assist you!"

Leol stepped to the edge of the battle zone and shouted in a servile tone.

"Oh?"

Youpi looked at Leol and other Chimera Ants with great surprise.

As things stood, Youpi didn't think he needed help.

But these smoke soldiers are really annoying.

With the help of Leol and the others, perhaps he can speed up the process of killing Knuckle.

Not saying no to Leol was tantamount to agreeing.

At least that's what Leol thought.

"Youpi-sama."

The corners of Leol's mouth curled slightly and he took two steps into the battle zone. The big gold chain hanging around his neck made a pleasant sound as his body moved.

"That little thing...I have a way to help you deal with it."

As he walked, he raised his hand and pointed at Potclean next to Youpi.

Upon hearing this, Youpi glanced at Leol, who was gradually approaching, and said expressionlessly, "Really?"

"Absolutely."

Leol's answer was full of confidence.

Seeing this, Youpi suddenly stopped his fighting stance, turned his head nonchalantly, and said: "Then let me see how you are going to solve it."

"With great pleasure."

Leol smiled sincerely and said, "That means you'll owe me a favor."

"Cut the crap and make it disappear."

Youpi had no idea what Leol was thinking. He raised his blade-like arm and pointed the sharp end at Potclean, who was still rattling on about interest rates.

In response to Youpi's urging, Leol responded very actively.

'Prerequisites complete-'

Leol seemed to already envision the outcome and a wave of pleasure swept over him.

If he could borrow Youpi's ability, then he too could transform into a powerful combat form like Youpi.

Leol was very much looking forward to this.
