Chapter 20
Title: Just A.... Monster
….
-Chrollo POV-
I just hear Nobunaga and Uvogin arguing like usual. I look at the warehouse around us, it is a worn out building and a temporary shelter to us.. it's also quite far from even the nearest city so this is also a good place to hide until our next job.
The other members are playing cards while Nobunaga and Uvogin are arguing about the previous game. I look at the side of the warehouse and on the wall there are countless glass cases lined up with each of them filled with… scarlet eyes..
I got a fancy for them when I heard of their beauty, they truly are special, but I have already gotten bored of them. We should start selling them, we have already sold half… I wonder what I shall do with the money. I guess look for a legitimate way to get another Benz Knife. That would be useless during combat, or maybe some ancient book.
*knock*
*knock*
*knock*
I am interrupted from my thought process when I hear a knock on the front door. I look at Machi and she just shakes her head. This warehouse is completely surrounded by strings made from Machi's Nen ability. And somehow someone got in… hmmm… I wonder who it is. Feitan just goes and opens the door.
*creak*
When the door is opened we see a man drenched in rain. He came inside and said.
"Oh thanks guys I thought I would be stuck outside. Thank god that there were people here."
I can't sense any type of aura from him, he is completely normal… or so he seems. He is wearing glasses, has black hair and brown eyes, he is also wearing a black suit with a black collar which seems a size too big for him. He is around 1.85 cm tall.
Then I look towards Machi again. She has like a 6th sense on these things, a so called instinct.
When I look at her I see something strange… she is breathing heavily and tears are coming out of her eyes. What?
Immediately I asked her. "Machi what is wrong."
She just looks at me and says. "I don't know... boss… my body… can't move… I have a chill all over. I don't know… what is going on…"
Something is wrong. Uvogin goes to the intruder and says to him with a serious face. "Sorry we are at full capacity pal."
Then Feitan that was behind the intruder when he opened the door. Takes out a knife and uses KO & SHU to concentrate his Nen at the tip of the knife, as the knife is going towards the back of the neck of the intruder then...
*plop*
An arm falls to the ground… Feitan's arm fell to the ground… cut off…
My eyes widen…
My book appears in my hand. I flip it to a page.
I immediately teleport Uvogin at the unguarded side of the intruder. Uvogin using his instinct, without even thinking he immediately punches the intruder in the kidney as Feitan grabs his cut off arm and jumps back. Then as Uvogin's punch lands on the intruder, a red Aura is concentrated in Uvogin's other fist.
"BIG BANG IMPACT."
We immediately jump back to avoid getting in its range...
*BOOOOM*
The warehouse is completely obliterated. All of the members are immediately ready for battle. They are all to my side. I have the book on the same page again and use..
To bring Uvogin back to us but when I bring him back… I notice that his right arm which he used to attack is completely twisted like a whirlpool…
Machi on the other hand has a calm face as she uses her strings and attaches Feitan's arm back in place.
As as the smoke and debris clear up the rain has stopped falling… and we see the figure of our attacker... his upper clothing is all missing and he has a muscular body it seems like he obviously is a monstrously strong opponent even above what his musculature might suggest. It seems like the last attack did no harm to him…
I just look at our opponent with calm eyes… he truly is a dangerous enemy.
Uvogin then says. "I didn't see his counter attack at all. We should also be careful of his speed Boss."
Then the attacker just looks at us and smiles and then he says with a normal soft voice while dusting himself. "Ah… what a mess… you guys are really strong… anyway nice to meet you all. My name is Jax Miller. And I must repeat... you guys are really strong."
When I look at him I immediately notice a certain tone in his voice. He is toying with us. He has 100% confidence in defeating us. We should immediately retreat even if we were able to somehow defeat this monster we would lose most of our members.
We just stay at a standstill waiting for him to make the first move. Machi has already put string traps all around the field already and Franklin is ready to shoot at any time using his Nen ability. If all of this can even slow him enough for Feitan, Phinks and Bonolenov to use their abilities. They are our heavy hitters since Uvogin's arm is out of commission.
Then our enemy the so called Jax, if that is even his real name says in a completely relaxed voice and he even has a smile on his face. "Sooo ladies and gentlemen I seem to have lost one of my students. His name is Kidd... you wouldn't happen to know where he is would you."
And then when this 'Jax' released his Aura…
*BOOOM*
To me… it seemed as if the world turned gray for a split second… when we felt his aura it filled me and even the other troupe members with abject despair… and that was the moment when we all understood… we need to retreat immediately… to even have a chance to take down a monster of this caliber you would need an entire nation's military…
