Chapter 572 - Chapter 572 Surprised?

Among those familiar with Moses, Ging wasn't the only one paying attention to this match. Netero, who is lazing around at the Hunter Association's Headquarters, was also tuned into the broadcast.

Since the game had a warm-up period of several days before it started, some people chose to follow the match process through live broadcast, while others went straight to Glover City where the Heavens Arena was located after seeing the warm-up promotion.

However, Netero did not go to there to join in the fun, and only watched the live broadcast of the match in his exclusive tea room.

At first, he thought this would be a casual match to pass the time, but he didn't expect it to turn into a scene where the Phantom Troupe came to cause trouble for Moses.

Netero was surprised, but he quickly deduced what was happening, just like Ging.

It wasn't that the Phantom Troupe was looking for trouble with Moses, but that Moses was waiting on that 'stage' for the Phantom Troupe to come.

"Hoho…"

Netero stroked his beard, with a faint smile in his eyes.

Be it Ging or Netero…

They were never worried about Moses from beginning to end.

Only Pro Hunters like them can deeply understand what Moses is pursuing.

This is a hunt.

And before a Pro Hunter begins a hunt, they inevitably have to embrace the possibility of death.

While Netero and Ging treated the matter so calmly, Cheadle and the others, who were rushing to the Heavens Arena, were not so calm.

Originally, they wanted to take advantage of this match to meet up with Moses in Glover City, but who would have thought that the Phantom Troupe would suddenly show up and cause trouble for Moses.

This made Cheadle and the others anxious.

This anxious mood reached its limit in an instant after Moses was pulled into the Nen Space by Chrollo's scheme.

Fortunately, Moses came out of the Nen Space safely, and Biscuit, Kurapika and others had joined the fray to provide assistance.

Despite this, Cheadle and the others still quickened their pace and rushed towards the Heavens Arena.

Since there are people who are concerned about Moses's safety, naturally, there are also people who just want to watch the fun.

For example, Milluki Zoldyck.

"Ugh…"

In order to enjoy this match, Milluki had stocked up on plenty of snacks, the most common of which were crunchy potato chips.

But now, he doesn't even dare to open a single bag.

Because-

Behind him stood Silva and Zeno.

If he dared to open and eat the potato chips, it might affect the viewing experience of the two elders.

'Why would Grandpa and Dad care about this kind of match? And...'

Milluki sat rigidly, staring straight ahead at the large screen, and grumbled in his heart:

"Why do they have to watch it in my room? It's not like I'm the only one with a TV at home. It can't just be because my screen is bigger, right?!"

The presence of the two elders made it impossible for Milluki to relax, let alone immerse himself in the match.

Meanwhile…

Killua and Gon, who are in the Heavens Arena, were also taking action...

More and more eyes are focused on this 'match accident'. No matter what the final outcome will be, it will surely go down in history.

Inside the Nen Space of the Land of Exile.

The air was thick with visible dust particles and the metallic scent of blood.

On the devastated rocky ground, Uvogin and Love lay motionless.

A large amount of blood flowed out from under their bodies, gathering into red streams that flowed in all directions.

Not far from their lifeless bodies, Chrollo stood amidst the lingering smoke, holding a book in his right hand, while his face shadowed heavily with despair.

An aura of deathly silence emanated from him.

"Ugh…"

Chrollo made a retching sound in his throat.

He was in the process of exorcising Nen.

This Nen Exorcism Ability he used was an ability called [Appetite of Anorexic], which he stole from a Nen Exorcist.

When this ability is activated, his mouth becomes very small, and the process of exorcising Nen is like a severely anorexic person struggling to force down food.

It wasn't exactly painful for Chrollo, but it was far from comfortable r.

Originally, this Nen Exorcism Ability was intended to be used to open up the Nen Space after the 'coffin plan' was completed.

Now, although it was still being used to open the Nen Space, he was the only one who can leave this place alive...

Normally, since this Nen Space is Love's Nen Ability, once Love dies, the Nen Space will also dissipate.

However, the Nen Space remained intact, and this phenomenon has nothing to do with Post-Mortem Nen.

Chrollo speculated that the reason why the Nen Space is still running could be due to special restrictions of the Nen Space itself, or it may be because he is one of the users of this Nen Space.

Regardless of the reason, he should be thankful that the preservation of this Nen Space has nothing to do with Post-Mortem Nen.

Otherwise, Appetite of the Anorexic may not be able to remove the Nen Space that was strengthened by Post-Mortem Nen.

Conversely...

Because this is not a Post-Mortem Nen, with the death of Love, the strength of this Nen Space has been significantly weakened.

Chrollo silently swallowed the Nen that entered his mouth.

'I'll be able to go out soon...'

'And when I does…'

'Moses will die!'

At the Heavens Arena's venue.

Kokai died easily because there's no one to protect him.

This was partly because Wapol was engaged with Kastro, and partly because Satoga was warming up.

[Three-Minute Heat]

This is Satoga's Nen Ability, and its effect is to gain power boost temporarily through warm-up exercises.

The strength and duration of the enhancement depended on his warm-up intensity and duration.

However, no matter how he warms up, Satoga can only get a maximum of three minutes of enhancement duration.

'I won't let your death be in vain, Kokai.'

Satoga muttered in his heart.

He didn't feel sad or blame himself for Kokai's death. He simply thought that Kokai's death would at least increase the weight of his punches.

After Moses has dealt with Kokai, he has to decide on his next target…

'Should I deal with that Enhancer, who was warming up, or Pakunoda, whose combat style was relatively straightforward?'

Just as Moses was contemplating, a wave of Nen fluctuation suddenly appeared on the arena behind him.

He immediately sensed this Nen fluctuation, and so was Pakunoda, whose heart was shaken by Moses's words.

Moses did not turn back to check the situation on the arena, but Pakunoda was facing the arena and happened to look toward the source.

At this time, Chrollo appeared out of thin air in a semi-transparent Nen veil.

Seeing Chrollo coming out of the Nen Space unscathed, the fear created by Moses in Pakunoda's heart vanished instantly, replaced by overwhelming joy.

She had thought Chrollo and the others had perished in the Nen Space...

"Chro…"

Boom!

Before Pakunoda could call out Chrollo's name, a violent explosion suddenly erupted on the arena.

Chrollo, who had just come out of the Nen Space, was blown away immediately.

As he was hurled through the air, a trail of black smoke followed him.

Pakunoda's joy froze on her face, and her open mouth seemed glued in place, fixed in a moment of disbelief.

There was a hint of amusement on Moses's face, but he still didn't turn around.

'Surprised? Didn't see that coming?'

Hisoka, who was far away, also noticed Chrollo being blasted away. He seemed to have thought of something, and when conditions permitted, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

At the food stall.

When Kite saw this scene through the live broadcast, he seemed to understand what his master meant earlier.
