The insects pounced, raising their long proboscis, plunging downward...
Haseki Dorou frowned, sharply sensing a hint of "Nen" from these tiny flying insects, his right hand clenched into a fist, wielding [Ten], waiting in subtle anticipation,
[Otsuka Yuu, suspected "Manipulation" Nen user, Nen power [Parasite], as the name suggests... can manipulate mosquito-like Nen insects, rooting in the host and extracting Nen from the target's body to strengthen itself]
Republic of Padokea, the Zoldyck Family estate, Kukuroo Mountain,
The intelligence gathered by Tsubone was casually tossed by Roy on Silva's desk, the page spread open revealing one corner where a photo of a young Ronin playfully handling insects was pasted.
Below the photo, it was meticulously noted that Lord [Parasite] once said to his subordinates, "The insect is me, and I am the insect, so-called humans are nothing more than hosts for these parasites..."
"Pssst~" The proboscis pierced the skin, delving into the flesh, starting to suck...
Meteor Street, North District, outside the Guzman mansion, Haseki Dorou remained vigilant, silently watching this scene, at a certain moment, discovering a bizarre sight on these tiny insects —
Nothing flowed through their slender proboscises, not a drop of blood, a piece of flesh, not even the "Nen" hidden deep within a human body could be drawn, making... even the sharp Otsuka Yuu stare in disbelief!
"Empty... My insects actually came up empty... these people have no energy!"
Sure enough, tens of thousands of insects, unable to capture prey, fell into deep confusion... confused to the point they began to scatter...
They were unable to understand why the corpses contained not a trace of Life Energy,
Buzzing around in confusion, they were swiftly retrieved back into Otsuka Yuu's sleeve!
"That [Father], so ruthless... he's drained them dry!" The playful grin vanished from his face, shadow cast...
Otsuka Yuu's gaze, passing over Haseki Dorou, looked toward Roy, who had already entered the villa alone, calmly releasing [En] alongside Lotus and Mark Wayne, capturing the scene inside the villa,
"Buzz...." Spherical Nen Shield spreading out, sensing telekinetic fluctuations, Eve Valentine, who hadn't mastered [En], stomped her foot in annoyance, her hips swayed alluringly.
"Step... Step...."
The fire burned, the sword rang, explained to Haseki Dorou, Roy walked alone into the spacious villa lobby, catching sight of the green-haired boy reclining leisurely on the leather sofa, watching him — [Spiritual Morphine] Guzman!
"You've come...."
"You shouldn't have come...."
"I didn't invite you, you're... uninvited, aren't you...."
Guzman put away his leisurely demeanor, poured himself a glass of red wine, glanced coldly through the bright red wine at the blade-wielding boy approaching step by step, squinting his eyes, "Father, we've barely been apart, and you've already begun to think of me?"
"Or is it... you miss my candy."
Nen surged from Guzman's palm, emerging with a clatter, candies spilling onto the floor...
In the corner of the living room, hearing the commotion, several "zombies" quickly emerged, emaciated and bent, inhuman in appearance, but at the moment they saw the candies, a rare glimmer flashed in their soulless eyes, crawling, tumbling, scrambling for the candies like dogs to a bone, mumbling, "Mine... all mine... I want candy, hurry up!"
Rolling and tumbling, they picked up the candies and stuffed them into their mouths,
The tenacious "Nen" naturally manifested from their skulls, visibly thinning... thinning... thinner... until a little girl, failing to grab any, was knocked down by a man pouncing from behind, her head hitting the corner of the coffee table, spilling blood!
Her body uncontrollably twitched, as the Nen dissipated from her head, her life... withered...
"What a pity... why are you so anxious?" Guzman, seated on the sofa before the little boy, stared at Roy with a smile... He slowly stood up, amidst the zombies frantically consuming candies, he inadvertently stepped on the little boy's head, crushing it, took a sip of his red wine, and said to Roy, "Summer is coming, Father, aren't you hot?"
Surging flames, centered around Roy, swept out... Yubashiri after Bankai, shed its snow-white color, taking on a tinge of crimson... redder than the Red Blade!
"Hot?"
Roy pointed the sword tip downward, "Psst~" The luxurious marble floor instantly... burned through a hole.
He calmly looked at Guzman, "Wait a moment, you won't feel hot soon."
After saying that, he raised his hand, sending a flying fiery slash, a long trail of flame aimed directly at Guzman's chest!
The green-haired boy elegantly drank wine, as though sipping human blood, trembling with low laughter, he lifted his head, pointing toward Roy, "Fix!"
"Swish—" A roll of straps suddenly shot from his fingertips, in an instant, coiling around Roy's right hand, binding him and the sword in place!
[Stainless Steel Strap]: "Conjuration" Nen ability, straps made from stainless steel press stamping, possessing strong binding properties.
This was also the Nen ability "contributed" by a zombie at Guzman's feet years ago!
"[Demon Shadow], quick, you know what to do."
The strap imbued with [Ken] firmly bound Roy, but... faced with that [Fire] that [High Temperature], Guzman noticed his Nen consuming rapidly at a terrifying speed, for the first time frowning, realizing he underestimated... the surging flame from Roy's right hand entwined by Yubashiri!
"Leave it to me, Lord Guzman..."
Firelight illuminated Guzman, casting on the ground, thanks to the sprawling shadow...
With a faint hoarse voice echoing out, in the instant Guzman bound Roy, a shadow suddenly emerged from Guzman's shadow, quickly extending across the ground to Roy's feet, picking up a candy from the floor, then reappearing... abruptly emerging from Roy's shadow, transforming into a gaunt, cloaked Nen user, lunging for his throat, trying to pry open his mouth to stuff the candy inside,
However, to the surprise of both Guzman and the shadow,
"Bang!"
No need for them to take action, nor waiting for the shadow to pry open Roy's mouth.
Roy himself, directly exploded!
The shadow froze,
Uncomprehending of what had happened?
Next was the loud shout from Guzman, "Fool, dodge!"
Soon after, he felt a coolness in his chest, lowering his head to see a bright sword tip piercing his heart, from his back, through to his chest, instantly giving him a bone-chilling shock!
"You...."
"I...."
Blood overflowed from Demon Shadow's mouth, he turned stiffly, meeting Roy's calm gaze, faintly glimpsing a touch of crimson, accompanied by three black, ink-like tomoe... his head tilted, losing vitality.
"Drip... Drip...." A dim lantern emerged amidst decay...
In his final moments of losing consciousness, he deciphered everything from the young man's mutterings...
Roy swung the sword, as if discarding trash, sending Demon Shadow flying, his eyes lifted, falling on Guzman, murmuring with a hint of melancholy: "Shadow? Sorry... I know a bit about [Shadow Clone Technique] too."
'Shadow Clone Technique... so... your shadow is the true shadow, mine... isn't....'
[Tip: Life Energy +37]
"Thud~" Another corpse fell....
The young man's long dark hair danced in the wind, the sword tip drew a semicircle, aligned directly at Guzman: "Your turn."
