Becoming a God at Level 100, Starting from Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 22: Counterattack x Reflection

“So uncomfortable…”

“Those two people have completely triggered my urge to kill…?” Hisoka licked the corner of his mouth, thinking about the two he had just encountered.

Kurapika and Leorio.

Though they were entirely different types, each one was so outstanding that it made him want to kill them!

“Ah!?”

“No, I must endure! Those unripe little apples aren’t ready yet!” Hisoka groaned quietly, forcing himself to suppress the urge to strike immediately.

However…

He still needed someone to vent on!

Hisoka glanced in the direction from which continuous noise was coming, and the smile on his face gradually became more twisted.

In the next moment, Hisoka sprinted swiftly toward the noise.

Far off in the jungle, another figure was also rapidly moving, following Hisoka’s actions closely.

“Hisoka can’t hold back any longer. Even if the next opponent doesn’t resist at all, Hisoka will absolutely not stop!” Gon’s eyes were fixed tightly on Hisoka.

“And next… this is the perfect chance to strike!” Gon looked at the commotion in the distance and quickly advanced. He had to reach the ambush point ahead of Hisoka and wait for the right moment to act.

But…

“Luo Lin.” Gon’s expression shifted as he saw the figure in the distance.

He never imagined that right after Hisoka encountered Leorio and Kurapika, the next person he’d run into would be Luo Lin.

With so many examinees on the island, why did he keep running into people he knew?

“No, it’s too late to warn Luo Lin to run…” Gon tightened his gaze, looking at Hisoka charging not far away, and at Luo Lin, who had already noticed Hisoka.

“The only way now is to try to divert Hisoka’s attention.”

Gon knew full well that with his current strength, even if he jumped out, he couldn’t change anything.

So…

“I absolutely cannot make any mistakes.” Gon gripped his fishing rod tightly, taking deep breaths to calm himself down.

“They’re here!” Gon’s eyes narrowed sharply, watching as Luo Lin and Hisoka were about to collide, and he cast his fishing rod swiftly.

…

“Hisoka—”

Luo Lin’s face changed as he saw Hisoka charging toward him, his face full of murderous intent.

Although Luo Lin knew he had made quite a bit of noise, he didn’t expect to draw the attention of Hisoka!

Moreover, with Hisoka looking like that…

“Is this the moment…” Luo Lin recalled that during this round of the Hunter Exam, Hisoka had once erupted with a fierce killing intent, and the examinee who died at that time…

Luo Lin: “…”

It seemed to be the same Hunter examinee he had just killed.

Luo Lin’s pupils contracted sharply.

No choice, he’ll have to face it head-on.

Luo Lin’s gaze focused intensely.

“As long as I survive Hisoka’s first attack, with Hisoka’s personality, I shouldn’t die… And if the story doesn’t go off track, I might only need to endure one strike.”

Without a trace of hesitation, Luo Lin cast aside all distracting thoughts, and his entire being became completely focused.

From this point on…

He couldn’t afford the slightest mistake.

At the very moment Luo Lin was ready, Hisoka had already reached him.

Of course, Hisoka had recognized Luo Lin as one of the young apples he had his eyes on for some time, but… at this point, he could no longer hold back.

Besides…

In this Hunter Exam, he had already found plenty of fun toys. Tasting one or two ahead of time wouldn’t be a problem.

However, since Luo Lin was a little apple he had already chosen, killing him outright wouldn’t do. It would be best to savor this slowly, wouldn’t it?

Hisoka licked the corner of his mouth, his eyes locked firmly on Luo Lin, a playing card already in his hand. With a twisted smile on his face, he swiped the card toward Luo Lin.

However…

A suddenly appearing fishing hook made Hisoka’s murderous expression freeze for a moment, and the next second, his badge was hooked and snatched away.

Moreover…

Luo Lin, with an unbelievably swift movement, dodged Hisoka’s dazed attack, unleashing a flurry of punches on Hisoka like a storm.

“The feel is off!” Luo Lin’s eyes flashed sharply, and without any hesitation, he chose to retreat and kept his distance.

Seeing Hisoka, whose crazed killing intent had vanished, Luo Lin knew that the crisis had passed this time.

Without hesitating, Luo Lin immediately disappeared into the forest.

One second!

It had only taken one second.

He had gone from being the hunter to the hunted, becoming the prey of two people at the same time.

This really is…

Hisoka glanced at Gon, who caught his badge and ran off in the distance, and then at Luo Lin, whom he had been preparing to savor, only to be fiercely countered.

“So wonderful!?” Hisoka suddenly shuddered with delight, his face full of ecstasy.

Even the uncontrollable urge to kill from before didn’t seem to matter now.

Perfect, two perfect little apples had appeared before him at the same time.

Hisoka couldn’t help but feel that his decision to fail last year’s Hunter Exam had been the right one.

…

In the forest, Luo Lin moved swiftly as his thoughts began to reflect on himself.

Had he gotten too cocky just because he knew the plot and had a system to help him out?

It seemed…

That he really had!

Luo Lin slapped himself on the face hard: “Don’t get arrogant. You’re not strong enough to be cocky yet, Luo Lin!”

However…

“Just now… was that Nen?” Luo Lin thought back to the sensation during his attack on Hisoka.

With his current strength, combined with the burst of speed, even if he couldn’t injure Hisoka, ten consecutive punches shouldn’t have left Hisoka completely unharmed.

So…

The only possibility was that in that brief moment, even though Hisoka had been caught off guard, he had used Nen to protect his body.

You have to remember, even someone as inexperienced as Zushi, after learning to protect himself with Nen, was difficult for Killua to harm. Let alone Hisoka, a Nen master.

It was the only explanation for why Hisoka, in a daze, could take ten punches from Luo Lin and still be completely fine.

“Even though I knew it already, experiencing it firsthand, the gap between Nen users and non-Nen users is really absurd…” Luo Lin couldn’t help but feel awed.

Without Nen, even with Hisoka’s physical strength, Luo Lin would have had a good chance of killing him in that moment.

But because of Nen, that possibility became almost zero.

“Has he not pursued me? Did he go after Gon?” Luo Lin stopped as he noticed the lack of movement from Hisoka behind him.

If the plot was correct, Gon might need some help soon.

Although he didn’t plan to interfere with the main characters, Gon had indirectly helped him just now.

“I should go check it out!” Luo Lin thought for a moment, then carefully headed back in that direction.
