Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 348 The Mystery of the Sonata

Phoenix paused for a moment, seemingly trying to contact Lucci.

After unleashing the ultimate power of the Dark Symphony, Lucci arrived in an ancient city through a "space gate".

They encountered all sorts of deformed and powerful creatures, but of course, none of them mattered to Lucci. The exploding flames were burning the entire city.

When I have some free time, I'll switch my perspective to Phoenix's.

We've seen what Kurapika's situation is like.

Phoenix, on the other hand, relayed Lucci's words.

"It must be due to the effects of his ability. Your battle lasted a bit too long, and it was the first time he had used his ability for such a long time. His body may not be able to withstand it."

The ability of "absolute time" is very powerful, but it cannot be cultivated or attempted.

After all, activating it is like risking your life.

It's unclear whether there's a time limit, or whether it has any other effects on the body besides costing lives.

Of course, the possibility of injury and depletion of Nen energy cannot be ruled out, as well as the psychological burden of killing someone himself.

Even without engaging in intense battles, Kurapika has fainted and lost consciousness at times in the anime.

Of course, Lucci could also have Phoenix treat him; with Phoenix's abilities, waking him up quickly would be very easy.

But not necessary.

Lucci didn't make his point very clear either.

After all, "absolute time" is also an important secret of Kurapika.

Fortunately, the matter has come to an end, although the Phantom Troupe was not completely wiped out.

Or rather, such a record would probably qualify them as a Star Hunter, after all, the Phantom Troupe has quite a reputation.

Especially after this confrontation with gangs around the world, his notoriety will likely grow even greater.

Kurapika was taken back to the auction house, while the two Killuas left temporarily to visit their grandfather and father.

"This is a bit boring!" Shermie felt that whether she came or not didn't seem to make much of a difference.

Apart from these few children, there didn't seem to be anything else that I paid special attention to.

Shermie and Phoenix quickly disappeared into the rain.

Because the Phantom Troupe was defeated, not faked to death as in the anime, and incidentally, all the auction items were switched.

Kurapika's long-cherished Scarlet Eyes were also captured by Neon.

Of course, what happened tonight will also cause huge turmoil.

The next day, the first major piece of news was that many members of the Phantom Troupe had been wiped out by the mafia.

The Nosra family played a significant role in this.

But then came the news of the Ten Elders' death, throwing the entire underworld into chaos.

The Ten Elders and their subordinates immediately began vying for power and profit.

The other gangs also quickly left Yokesin and returned to their own territories. The weak wanted to protect their own territory, while the strong planned to seize other forces.

The entire underworld is in chaos.

It's no wonder that the gangsters didn't target the Phantom Troupe in the anime; their Meteor City origins were never the main reason.

The real reason is the reshuffling of gang power.

Julia and Neon left Yokers the following day to prepare for their next move.

Kurapika recovered thanks to Eve's abilities.

As Lucci had guessed, he used "absolute time" for too long this time.

They made a huge profit this time by killing several members of the brigade.

Neon allowed Kurapika and his friends to have a good two more days at Yokkyo.

The tour group did not retaliate immediately. This time, they not only failed to steal anything, but also lost several members.

Their first task was to bring back the bodies of the remaining members, or at least bring them back to Meteor City.

Although Meteor City is a "dumping ground" for many people, it is home for many members of the Phantom Troupe.

Of course, they also learned some information from Hisoka.

When Pakunoda first heard Hisoka's story, he didn't believe it at all. It was simply a fantasy, like a fairy tale.

However, Machi's intuition told her that Hisoka was not lying.

Kuroro also felt that his Hisoka had no reason to lie at this time.

The Chain Hands are already their greatest enemy, but the enemy is very strong and may even have powerful backers.

Of course, given time, Kuroro believed he could defeat even the strongest enemy.

Of course, the next thing to do is to deal with Hisoka's challenge.

Chrollo knew Hisoka's strength very well; he couldn't defeat Hisoka in a direct confrontation.

Furthermore, Kuroro intends to give Hisoka a very "dignified" battle for his betrayal.

Now that Chrollo is dead, I wonder how Kuroro will combine his abilities?

A city in an unknown land.

All the deformed creatures have been killed by Lucci, and the entire city has been thoroughly explored by him.

Through his exploration, Lucci discovered the secrets of the city, as well as some of the secrets of the Dark Sonata.

The Dark Sonata was not created by the so-called "Demon King," but by a certain race. As for whether it was human, Lucci could not be sure.

The Dark Sonata is not actually limited to scores for four instruments; it's just that only four versions have been passed down.

The single score of the Dark Sonata is just a key that allows people to return to this "old place," but for some unknown reason, something has changed.

This made the Sonata extremely dangerous and directly led to the extermination of the entire race.

The cause of the anomaly is unknown.

But Lucci learned about the race's purpose.

This race, like humans, is not native to this place; they are also from the Dark Continent.

Their goal is to return to their "hometown".

However, unlike humans who explore the Dark Continent, this race can use the power of "music".

They used this power to "bring" them directly back to their hometown.

When all the "Dark Sonatas" are put together, they form a "Grand Movement".

This "Grand Movement" also possesses the ability to traverse space, allowing direct travel to and from the Dark Continent.

And it was even successful.

The mutation of the Great Symphony is very likely related to the Dark Continent in some way.

Unfortunately, Lucci was unable to obtain any more information.

In addition to the Dark Sonata and part of the "Grand Movement".

The power of the Dark Continent can even influence music.

That's really weird!

However, considering that even the World Tree exists in this world, it doesn't seem too surprising.

It is unknown whether the power of the Holy Grail can remove the "mutation" within, or whether the power of the Holy Grail can complete this grand symphony.

It took Lucci a month to resolve the matter and return to the Sky Arena.

A whole host of things awaited his attention, and now there were matters from another world to deal with as well.
