The Strongest Assassin of the Zoldyck Family!

Chapter 516: Chapter 514



"But at this distance, even if there's danger, I have enough time to erase the door," Ron thought. He wasn't entirely unfamiliar with S-rank Nen users; he had genuinely experienced their aura before.

Kroll raised his head. Suddenly, the mass of swirling black energy stopped moving. In the next moment, it seemed to lock onto Kroll.

Although the black mass had no eyes, it somehow gave the undeniable feeling of being watched.

"Lord Rosgell?"

A trace of confusion appeared in Kroll's eyes.

Suddenly, the black mass surged toward Kroll, crashing directly into his body. Immediately, Kroll's body began to swell like an overinflated balloon.

His expression twisted with pain, mingled with shock and disbelief.

Pshht!

A hand suddenly protruded from Kroll's chest, as if a person were trying to crawl out from inside. First a palm, then a forearm, and finally a complete arm emerged.

At the same time, Kroll's body began to deflate and shrivel.

A figure crawled out from within Kroll's collapsing form while Kroll gradually disappeared.

The scene struck Ron as strangely familiar.

He recalled a moment from the Naruto world— When Uchiha Madara, having become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and severed the Edo Tensei connection, was resurrected using the Rinnegan, only to be betrayed by Black Zetsu, who emerged from inside him. Ōtsutsuki Kaguya had used that opportunity to revive herself.

The process of Kaguya's resurrection looked remarkably similar to what was happening to Kroll now.

A figure soon emerged while Kroll vanished completely.

The newly appeared figure was bizarre.

A left leg and a left arm were connected to a torso— but there was no head, no right arm, no right leg.

The missing parts were wrapped and obscured by swirling black mist.

It stood firmly on a single leg, emitting an astonishing aura, one that clearly surpassed A-rank Nen users.

Ron immediately became highly alert, ready at any moment to erase the door. Natsu and Sasuke Uchiha were already prepared for a desperate battle.

If needed, they could buy time—even if they were destroyed, being Nen beasts, they could eventually be revived. It wasn't a major issue.

However, Ron didn't see the figure make any moves. The newly appeared entity—presumably the revived Rosgell—stood motionless.

"What's going on?"

Ron's eyes flashed.

He pulled out his phone and quickly placed a call.

Soon, the line connected.

"Lord Ron," came the voice from the other end.

"Shinji, has great-grandfather come out of seclusion yet?"

"I'm not sure, Lord Ron. Should I go check?"

"Go have a look now!"

"Right way, sir!"

Shinji hurried to Maha Zoldyck's courtyard.

Click.

At that moment, the door opened. A short figure emerged from the secret chamber— Maha Zoldyck himself, stepping into the courtyard, sensing Shinji's approach.

Standing respectfully at the gate, Shinji knocked.

"Come in," Maha Zoldyck's voice called.

"Lord Maha!" Shinji bowed deeply, showing utmost respect.

"It's Lord Ron calling."

"Ron? What's the matter?"

"Lord Ron hasn't explained yet."

In truth, Ron hadn't wasted time explaining to Shinji, because even if he had, it would have been useless; this situation was something even Zeno or Silva might never have encountered, let alone Shinji. And it was probably better that Shinji didn't know too much.

Shinji hurriedly handed the phone to Maha Zoldyck.

"Ron?" Maha greeted.

"Great-grandfather, I've encountered something extraordinary," Ron said.

"Go ahead."

Ron slowly explained the situation.

"I formed a team for practical combat training. We targeted a location where many people had been lured into the desert under the pretence of searching for the Desert Bandit King's treasure. But the real purpose was to use these people's life energy as a sacrifice."

"They intended to revive someone named Rosgell. And the revival has now been completed. Aside from my team, everyone else is dead. Their life force has been drained."

"A mass of black aura appeared and entered the person who initiated the ritual, and then a figure crawled out from inside—missing a head, right arm, and right leg."

"Its aura is incredibly powerful. But now it's just standing there, not moving."

Maha Zoldyck fell silent for a moment.

"Can your signal handle video?"

"It can."

"Then switch to video."

Soon, the video call connected. Although the signal was poor and the picture slightly blurry, it was enough for Maha Zoldyck to judge the situation.

"I see," Maha said after a moment.

"Ron, you can think of that thing as a type of Nen artefact. A very special kind of Nen artefact. The concept of 'revival' here isn't what you might expect. Right now, that entity is effectively a Nen tool."

"Try contacting it using your aura."

"Yes, Great-grandfather."

Ron extended his aura toward Rosgell.

However, as he neared the entity, he felt a strong repelling force. His aura couldn't actually touch Rosgell.

It was as if Rosgell's body was surrounded by a natural force field.

"Great-grandfather, I can't touch it."

"That's because your aura isn't strong enough.

Use more."

Ron tried again, pouring in more aura— but it still had no effect.

Rosgell remained motionless, unaffected. To him, Ron's aura was like an ordinary gust of wind.

"Still no use," Ron frowned.

"Would the Mingbo Republic have known this would happen after Rosgell's revival?" If they knew, how did they plan to control him?"

Ron posed the questions to Maha.

"When dealing with Nen tools, there's only one method: either cleanse them with overwhelming aura, or inject your aura into them. There's no other way."

"The Mingbo side would be limited to the same options. If it can't be done all at once, they would have no choice but to slowly wear it down over time," Maha said.

"Ron, do you have a way to take it with you?"

Ron nodded.

"I do. I can take it."

"Then do it," Maha said. "This thing's value far exceeds that Rotten Life Blade you picked up before— provided you can figure out how to use it."
