Gourmet Hunter (HxH Fanfic)

This scene was truly unbelievable.

Between a Nen User and an ordinary person, without relying on external advantages like firearms, the comparison wasn't even on the same level.

However, being incapacitate so many people with just Aura elevated that gap to an unimaginable tenfold difference, or perhaps even further.

Images of his father, grandfather, and even great-grandfather flashed through Illumi's mind.

In his opinion, the strength of the three elders was unquestionable, but at this moment, he was actually wondering, if it were his family's elders in Law's place, could they achieve what Law had just done?

He usually wasn't curious about outsiders, but Law was an exception.

…

"Law… has he grown this strong already?"

Uvogin stared at Law, who stood atop the wall of bullets, and murmured softly.

Machi and Nobunaga didn't say anything, but from the surprise in their eyes, it could be seen that they shared the same opinion as Uvogin.

'If that was the case, could they still recruit this guy into the Troupe?'

'After all, the condition was to defeat him in battle...'

For a moment, the three of them lost their confidence, but even if they didn't believe they could win against Law, they weren't about to give up so easily.

In the battlefield, only 46 people remained standing, including the three Elders of Meteor City.

The scene happening before their eyes was so exaggerated that it could easily shatter the will to fight of any ordinary person.

However, even if Law shows power beyond their understanding, they still will fight to the death. This is the style of Meteor City.

If firearms didn't work, then they would fight with methods reserved for Nen Users.

Standing atop the bullet wall, Law surveyed the battlefield. He could clearly see that the remaining people were all Nen Users.

By using Sanbica's virus and his own Aura, he had already halved Meteor City's combat force. Although there were many Nen Users left, they were not enough to threaten Law.

'Forty-six left… It would be best if they know how to give up. But if they continue to pester me...' Law thought silently and jumped off the wall of bullets.

Sanbica, who was inside the wall of bullets, lightly jumped to where Law had been standing.

Law raised his head slightly and stretched out his hand towards Sanbica who was standing on the bullet wall, wanting to help her down.

However, Sanbica simply ignored Law's hand and jumped down by herself. She wasn't one to easily make physical contact, something Law knew well.

Seeing that Sanbica dismiss his gesture, Law shrugged his shoulders and didn't care. He figured Sanbica's aversion for contact was similar to a form of social withdrawal, and it would take time to eliminate this resistance.

At this time, Law carefully observed the level of the Nen Users in the field. From his vantage point, he noticed Machi, Uvogin, and Nobunaga at the edge of the battlefield. He was momentarily surprised before realizing why they had come.

Meeting the gazes of Machi and the other two, Law shook his head slightly, motioning them to leave and wait outside Meteor City.

But seeing Law shaking his head, Machi and the other two began walking toward the battlefield.

This behavior undoubtedly told Law that they wanted to join the fight.

Law felt helpless upon seeing this. But since Machi and the others insisted on doing so, he wouldn't waste energy trying to dissuade them.

"Hey, you can't stop me. Just give up already."

Law withdrew his gaze from Machi and the others, then turned sideways and looked up at the Elders standing in the distance behind him.

Although he had never seen the Elders from other districts, it was not difficult to tell their identities.

The Elders stood at the edge of a four-story building's platform, and there are more than a dozen people lying behind them.

Except for the three of them, there were twenty or so of their subordinates remained standing.

Of the 46 remaining fighters, half were clustered with the Elders, while the rest were positioned in another direction, forming a loose encirclement.

"Give up?"

Marshall snapped out of his stupor. Hearing what Law said, his expression twisted as his Aura surged. Then, a basketball-sized Nen Bullet condensed in his palm, which he then hurled at Law.

After the Nen left his hand, it shot towards Law like an arrow.

"So... you still want to continue."

Law drooped his eyelids slightly to hide a flash of regret.

Lowering his gaze briefly, Law stepped forward and swung his sword at the incoming Nen Bullet.

Shhht!

The Nen Bullet split cleanly in two, each half flying past Law and landing with two dull thuds, creating shallow craters on the ground.

'No wonder he went out of his way to get the sword. However, a sword that was so rusty could actually cut off Nen Bullet.' Seeing Law's precise sword slash at close range, Sanbica was shocked in her heart.

She was already surprised that Law knew swordsmanship, but what's more surprising was that the quality of the rusty sword could cut through the Nen Bullet.

After slicing through the Nen Bullet, Law refrained from attacking the Elders immediately, as Sanbica was still here, and there were more than twenty Nen Users behind him who were eyeing them like hawks.

Sanbica's weakness is close combat. Only after Machi and the others come will Law feel at ease to let Sanbica go and join them. After that, he could focus entirely on the Elders atop the building.

"He cut through it...?" Marshall's expression froze. As an Emitter, his strength lay in ranged Nen projectiles. If the Nen Bullets he released could be destroyed so easily, he would become powerless like a venomous snake with its fangs pulled out.

The rusted blade without a sheath had caught everyone's attention long ago.

Because it was so rusty, it was easy to be overlooked, but they didn't expect it to be able to cut through the Nen Bullet without breaking.

Shabo and Kit's hearts sank. It was clear that it wasn't just troublesome Law's Nen Ability, and his close-combat skills were likely formidable as well, as evidenced by the fact that he could accurately split Marshall's Nen Bullet in half with a slash.

"Marshall, stay here and provide support when needed."

After Shabo said this, he jumped down from the roof and landed steadily on the ground. The others did the same and landed on the ground one after another, leaving Marshall alone on the rooftop.

In team battles, Emitter often acted as long-range support, akin to mages in their role. Generally speaking, Emitter's Nen Abilities are very conventional and have no special features.

Shabo is an Enhancer, and Kit is a Manipulator. Meanwhile, although their subordinates are also Nen User, they have not developed their own Nen Ability and can only rely on Aura to increase their speed and strength.

Seeing the enemies' actions, Law remained composed and said softly: "Sanbica, once Machi and the others handle the ones behind us, you can go join them."

The remaining enemies were all Nen Users, and the ordinary people with guns had been dealt with, so they no longer posed a threat to Machi and her group.

Hearing Law's words, Sanbica nodded slightly.

At this time, Machi, Nobunaga, and Uvogin had reached the battlefield. Without hesitation, they attacked the enemies, swiftly taking down three Nen Users in an instant.

"You!"

The Meteor City's people thought that Machi and the others were their allies, but they didn't expect this to be the case.

Uvogin knocked down another Nen User with one punch, but his attack was very measured and he didn't kill the other party.

Nobunaga's blade remained sheathed as he struck his opponents on the back of the neck, incapacitating them with a single precise blow.

The Meteor City's people were immediately enraged upon seeing this, and they turned their focus on Machi and the other two.

However, after a head-on battle, they were completely stunned.

With Uvogin and Nobunaga fighting side by side, they quickly took down several enemies. They seemed very powerful, but it was also because Machi used her Nen Threads to restrict the enemies' movements.

With the cooperation of three people, they can suppress the enemy even if they are outnumbered.

The unexpected turn of events made the Elders' expressions darken further. While they didn't know everyone in Meteor City, they at least recognized Machi and the other two.

Kit and Shabo subconsciously glanced at Marshall on the rooftop. Their expressions seemed to say: These are your West District's people.

Noticing the two Elders' gazes, Marshall's face twitched with irritation. Without hesitation, he threw three Nen Bullets at Machi's group in the distance.

At this time, a figure leaped into the air… it was Law.

He slashed three times in the air, cutting the three Nen Bullets in half.

The Nen Bullets that were cut in half shot off in opposite directions, crashing into the ground and nearby buildings.

Law landed lightly, then turned his wrist sideways and lowered his eyes to glance at the rusty blade.

When he swung the sword, he seemed to be able to feel the joy of Shin, and couldn't help but murmured inwardly: 'Are you... trembling with excitement?'

After so many years of silence, even if the blade is rusted and could break at any time, it still yearned for battle.

"Sanbica, you can go now."

A moment later, Law suddenly pointed the sword at the Elders at the front.

Just after cutting off three Nen Bullets, he pointed his sword at the Elders. This posture would have been intimidating if not for his rusty blade.

One person, one sword… draws the line.
