Chapter 21
Title: Thinking...
…
-Chrollo POV (continuation)-
Immediately when he released his aura my body was shaking, and couldn't move. I look at the others and notice that they also couldn't move… Machi was affected the worst she was on the ground throwing up. She had calmed down her instincts at first when we met him, but now he is releasing his Nen explosively.
This isn't about fear of death or anything like that, we aren't scared of dying, Machi is the same too. Death isn't something that we are afraid of. What terrifies us all is this… this monster. By the way he has acted until now, he will most likely torture us to insanity just for fun. I have seen a lot of cruel Nen users with malicious aura, but I have never seen such a malicious aura, my thoughts are all jumbled up right now and my mind is screaming.
WE NEED TO RUN RIGHT NOW!
But humans are beings who have been able to overcome their instincts. So I just turn my book to another page, but suddenly I feel as if time is moving slowly. I see that Jax is slowly walking towards us, I also notice that the troupe got extremely nervous. I could also feel like I could think faster… what is happening… I have never been able to think so fast during stressful situations.
Suddenly I have a realization.
Ahhh I get it now... before death it is said that someone's time is compressed. So I will die anyway. If that is the case then… then I find the ability that I wanted to use. My aura flares up as I summon...
Then a blue dog-like creature with multiple fangs, a big red nose, bulging yellow eyes, and a top hat appears into my hand.
Then I just tell it while pointing at Uvogin. "Heal him."
When Uvogin sees this he already knows what is about to happen so to make it easier he forcefully twists his arm back into place with just a silent grunt of pain, but his fingers and whole arm's bones are still shattered… but now they are at least in the right place so that they can be healed.
The HaeTae opens its mouth and spews out water that splashes into Uvogin's arm and heals it. This is a Hatsu Ability that I stole from an old man and I am lucky that he hasn't died yet and the ability disappeared.
Uvogin's arm starts to heal back into place and finally, it returns back to normal fully healed. This ability uses stamina to heal but if Uvogin has one thing about him it is his stamina.
But I also see that Uvogin is a little tired, that it means that the injury was truly disastrous. It probably had more internal bone pulverising and shredded muscles. In just less than a second he did this to Uvogin the most durable amongst us… is a testament that today might be our last day alive.
Then I look at Jax who has stopped releasing his malicious Aura but he still has his REN activated which is enough to keep us from having any 'adventurous' thoughts, his aura is massive... it feels as if it covers the whole world.
Even if the whole Spiders Aura Amount combined together wouldn't even be anywhere near his… he also hasn't killed us yet… so why is that...
He just keeps looking at us with a strange smile on his face, and then he says. "Quite the good ability you have there. It must be a type of Hatsu stealing ability for you to be able to use two categories like that one from Emission with the little dog and the previous one with the Teleportation. But I guess that must also clear some conditions before you must be able to steal an ability… maybe four or five conditions before you can steal an ability… the conditions must also be quite harsh for such an ability."
The more he speaks the more nervous we all become, he just managed to figure out my ability so fast. Even his thought process is scary... truly terrifying... we definitely won't be able to escape him. One looks is all he needed for him to figure out my ability, I have never met someone like this.
The monster just calmly keeps walking towards us until he is ten metres in front of us and then he stops.
What are his intentions? If we have killed his student… he could have killed us whenever he wanted… but why didn't he do it… is he lying about the student and just attacking us for fun… no he doesn't need to lie. He could have just attacked us and massacred us all within an instant. So that means that he didn't necessarily care about his student and more likely just found us for… fun… he seems like that type of person… or maybe he isn't… but I definitely know something 100%... that we will all die if we fight him… our chances to escape are all slim to none… if we fight him we die… if we run we also die….
WHAT SHOULD I DO!?!?!?
No.. I need to stay calm… It doesn't matter if even most of the Spiders die as long as the troupe is alive that is all that matters. But HOW DO I DEAL WITH A MONSTER LIKE THIS!
While all of the Troupe Members are on Guard I notice the monster smile at us… no he is smiling at me specifically… like he already knows what I am thinking.
I keep wracking my brain on how to solve this disaster that has fallen upon us… HOW… JUST HOW DO I SOLVE THIS.
Maybe because of my stress or fear, I finally got an idea, I just closed my book and got rid of the HaeTae… then I just put my hands in the air and said to the monster in human skin. "I give up… so how about we become your underlings."
This is the best action possible to ensure our survival…
Then Jax just seems to think a bit and like he got an idea, with a cruel smile on his face he says. "Hmmmm…"
….
AUTHOR NOTE:
Will Jax kill the Phantom Troupe or will they become his subordinates… or maybe something else completely might happen.
P.S: We also saw that Chrollo didn't even have a thought of fighting Jax. He knows that if they fight the Troupe will all die. Also even their chances to escape are so close to zero that it isn't even worth mentioning them. Chrollo was using the intellect that he is known for to try and find a way to escape. This is written from Chrollo's perspective, so don't expect the assumptions that he makes to be true about the MC.🤣
