Hunter x Hunter: Desire Manifest [EN]

"Ives, are you okay?!" Biscuit rushes toward him in worry.

"I'm fine. Help me move this Monster." Still pinned down, he tried to push the boar off.

"I'm trying." Biscuit nodded and tried pushing its body off.

A few moments later, they managed to push it aside, and it rolled over twice before finally stopping. Still lying, Ives tried to grasp his breath.

"Let me help you," After helping him up, she worriedly patted and checked his body, wanting to see if there were any injuries. Fortunately, there were only scratches.

"That boar's skin is really tough, and what kind of prey did it eat to achieve such size?" Ives complained as he rubbed his sore back.

"I don't know, but thank goodness you're safe. My heart almost stopped seeing you get pinned like that." Biscuit patted her chest as she let out a sigh of relief. "But you're really okay, right? Should we take a break?"

"I'm fine. We can keep going." Ives nodded. Shaking his arms and legs, he felt no discomfort.

"Okay."

As they had expected, the victory did not last long. From a distance, they heard a loud howl accompanied by the roar of the enemy rushing over.

Biscuit and Ives narrowed their eyes. They saw the Monster's eyes shining brightly from the overgrown trees and bushes. Its footsteps made a thick and intimidating sound, and when they saw the Monster's true form, both took a step back.

Fur, sharp teeth, deadly claws... The most shocking thing is that Monster walks on two legs. That's right! It's a werewolf-like monster!

"Woof!!!" The Monster let out a long howl. Baring its teeth at them, it crouched and lunged forward on all fours.

Ives readied his machete and Slash!, with a quick and precise movement, he slashed his machete straight at it.

But would that Wolf stay still and accept it with open arms? Its speed was faster than the boar. Its eyes flashed, and it avoided the dangerous slash.

Pumping up its right arm muscle, its claws gleaming like metal, it attacked with a vicious slash.

Ives and Biscuit dodged in two different directions. Just inches away! If they hadn't dodged, that claw would have wound them.

Taking a few steps back, Biscuit adjusted her position and then repelled to the front. Her fists tightly clenched and ready, and Jab! She landed her fist right on the enemy's chest.

That Monster frowned as its chest got struck. Its saliva flowed even more, and its eyes glared at the annoying girl.

"Growl!" When it wanted to counterattack Biscuit, before it could touch her... Slash! Ives jumped in and slashed its wrist.

Spurt! Blood splashed from its nearly severed hand.

This Monster is indeed fast, but its defense is much lower.

As the Monster howled in pain, Biscuit took the opportunity to grab the nearly severed hand. Gritting her teeth, she pulled it in with force!

As the enemy severed its hand, the Wolf held its wrist as it took a few steps back. Puffing out its chest, it howled in loud!

"He's trying to call its pack!"

"We can't let it do it!" Biscuit grabbed the Wolf's severed hand by each of its fingers. Her intention was clear. She wanted to use it as a weapon.

Ives and Biscuit both nodded and then they rushed forward.

Jumping up, Ives aimed for the opponent's head with an axe kick. It was a powerful kick, but the Wolf blocked it with its left arm. Palm thrust its prey, and that attack sent Ives flying two meters back.

Biscuit appears from the side and slashes at her opponent! Still getting used to the strange weapon, she bombarded it like no tomorrow.

In the back, Ives is doing a double backflip before landing. Looking at his opponent, he ran to help Biscuit, but suddenly, another monster appeared before him. The second Wolf finally arrived!
