Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 163 Hunter Association Intelligence

On the airship.

Lucci is looking at information about various Nen tools and "Demon Realms" and "Secret Realms".

These were all obtained from Teacher Netero.

Of course, Lucci also had a fierce battle with Netero, and the result was that neither of them could win. However, if it were a war of attrition, Lucci would have the upper hand.

Lucci is stronger than Netero in both Nen and physical strength.

Lucci simply couldn't reach Netero's level of complete rapport with his opponent.

Through the Hunter Association, Lucci obtained a great deal of relevant information.

With enough intelligence, Lucci even considered taking control of the Hunter Association.

The Hunter Association can be said to possess the most secret information about the known world.

First, there's the matter of Nen tools, or rather, it can no longer be simply described as Nen tools.

According to the Hunter Association's records, some extremely special ability users possess extraordinary abilities, such as swords and other similar weapons imbued with certain rule-based abilities.

Of course, this kind of aura is not bad. The reason why it is unusual is that after the ability user dies, Nen is formed and the Nen tool does not disappear. Instead, a special Nen aura is formed on the Nen tool, which is somewhat like "resentment".

It made Nen tools stronger, but it also created a kind of "curse".

Generally, others who use these cursed artifacts pay a heavy price.

These things reminded Lucci of a certain "theatrical version," an unappreciated theatrical version, which contained "resentment."

Of course, based on the information, it's a different kind of "resentment" than the one in the theatrical version.

Of course, cursed "magical tools" such as swords are relatively common among them.

The information also includes details about the Dark Sonata.

This musical score, known as the Demon King's, possesses extraordinary power. Despite its terrifying nature, there are still those who desire to master this power.

According to historical records, a hundred years ago there was a musician who mastered Nen, who not only mastered the Dark Symphony of the harp, but also made it his ability.

He imbued his harp with the power of Dark Symphony, but paid a heavy price to destroy his opponent and erase the effects of Dark Symphony.

Of course, there are no specific details in the records, but it is known that the musician's harp was left behind after his death.

Ultimately, it remains unknown whether the items were destroyed.

Besides this, there was another nursery rhyme novelist whose ability was his nursery rhyme books. After his death, the ability did not disappear, but the books that contained the ability did.

But in reality, it was just because of the recitation after death that it became a terrifying nursery rhyme. Anyone who has heard the relevant nursery rhyme will be targeted by the "nursery rhyme".

It traps people in a kind of "secret realm," and if they are lucky, they may be able to come out alive and even successfully awaken Nen.

However, according to the records, there is only one known example to date.

Seeing this, Lucci was speechless. This was too unreasonable. There were indeed many dangerous things in this world!

I never imagined that something like Dark Sonata existed.

It's really not easy for ordinary people to live in a world like this!

At this point, Lucci was no longer sure if he had the ability to deal with the "Book of Sacrifice's" power.

It seems I need to develop the ability to eliminate negative thoughts.

According to the information, these strange rule-based abilities are still Nen abilities, so there is still a possibility that they can be dealt with except by Nen.

Lucci continued to peruse the documents.

The parts about the Demon Realm and the Secret Realm are also related to thought.

After all, this is the part of the information he needs.

Some are not clearly recorded, but they are all extremely dangerous and related to thought. Some records indicate that these are demonic realms or secret realms formed by thought after death.

One of the records particularly surprised Lucci, because the Nen that forms after death is not necessarily human; it could also be other species.

Of course, there aren't that many of these.

Lucci only had nine relevant documents on hand.

There is very little information about what lies inside, because these demonic realms and secret realms formed by the thoughts of the dead are not only extremely dangerous, but also contain nothing attractive.

Since no one has explored the area, information is naturally scarce.

Even resolving this issue is quite troublesome, requiring a spirit exorcist.

Exorcists are rare, let alone those with powerful abilities.

While Lucci was still on his way to the Kingdom of Kukanyo in the airship.

The Stacy family had already obtained relevant intelligence at a military camp on the outskirts of a small town in the Kingdom of Kukanyou.

"That guy really did become a hunter." Several key figures from the Stacy family were gathered here at the camp headquarters.

There are seven people in total.

"However, he is a Nen user, so passing the Hunter Exam is nothing to him."

"Now that Regina's demands have been met, we can kill him."

Six men and one woman were discussing Charlier's life or death.

"No need to rush. Let him enter the secret realm to test whether Regina's consciousness still exists. It wouldn't be bad if he died in the secret realm."

"This time it won't be so easy. Not only has he returned, but he's also brought trouble with him." The information came from a middle-aged man named Adolf.

"Trouble? What could possibly cause us trouble?" Jim didn't think there would be any trouble at all.

Their only problem now is how to retrieve the Book of Sacrifice.

"This is no simple problem; he's brought the owner of the top floor of the Sky Arena."

The fact that Lucci and Shariel had come together naturally did not escape their notice, and as for Yonex Conrad, he was never taken seriously.

If you mention Lucci's name, they might not know who he is.

But as soon as the title of "Top Floor Master of the Sky Arena" was mentioned, they knew about it.

There is no top power in the world that is unaware of Lucci.

One reason is Lucci's identity; the Heaven's Arena is now world-renowned. The other reason is Lucci's formidable strength.

"Another Netero!"

Everyone frowned.

Netero earned his title as the world's strongest step by step.

Lucci is showing a similar trend now, and he's even younger than Netero was back then.

There are many kinds of Nen abilities in the world, some of which are even bizarre and powerful.

However, these basics have limitations; if you want to deal with Nitero, you can easily be overwhelmed by sheer force.

There was simply no room for maneuver.

"What's even more worrying is that this Lord Lucci is probably interested in our family's Book of Sacrifice, which is completely different from Netero's situation." Based on the information he had gathered, Adolf understood why Lucci had appeared.

"That is indeed a problem."

Surprisingly, none of the seven people looked down on Lucci.

Instead, he looked wary.

Because they had all witnessed Netero's power firsthand, and that unparalleled strength had deeply resonated with them.

"What should we do now regarding this top-floor owner of the Sky Arena?"

The seven people quickly began to discuss the matter.
