*BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!*
Many explosions hit the palace and the grounds surrounding it as destruction rain down from the skies.
"So they finally arrived…." Ainz says quietly to himself as he leisurely makes his way towards the rear of the palace area and sit there and waits for who to come.
"Well the sooner this is all over with, the sooner I get back to Nazzarick…." He mumbles to himself before he takes a seat on a bench outside as he looks back towards the now ruined palace before him.
Meanwhile I was just watching it all with a smirk on my face as I watched Pitou book it towards the Palace to see what had become of her king.
"Well I shouldn't miss the fun huh?"(**) I said while rubbing my chin before disappearing from the spot and reappearing on one of the upper levels of the Palace.
"What a mess, oh well I never thought of actually keeping this place for myself after all of this anyway, doesn't really suit me." I say while shaking my head at the destruction before turning and heading towards where I felt the Ant King was rushing to and moving plenty of rubble out of the way as he was searching for something or better yet someone.
As I arrived two older men along with Pitou arrived to see a rather amusing sight for me, and a terrifying sight for the rest of them.
In his arms the Ant King was clutching the body of that woman Komugi, and she was severely injured and appeared to be on the brink of death.
But that wasn't what was terrifying for everyone else, what was scary was the blank dead stare he was giving as he looked at the two old men as an overwhelming wave of bloodlust erupted out from him, making the two old men double the distance between themselves and the Ant King as they prepared themselves for a fight.
Though the Ant King just gently put her down as his eyes and face regained their neutral state, "Pitou, take care of her and heal her wounds." He says as Pitou goes over to her as she nods and summons her Nen ability called Doctor Blyth to gently carry her body before they slowly made their way out of here.
Soon after that however another wave of Nen burst out from the Ant King which stunned the two old men for a fraction of a second, and in that time the ant king had already reached them and began to walk pass them leaving them stunned at realizing how close he had gotten to them in such a small time frame.
"Come, I wish to take this somewhere else…" The Ant King said as he began his decent downwards and towards the back of the palace as the two men reluctantly follow after him, although it was apart of their plan to separate him from his Royal Guards so things were working out they they wished them too.
As they reached the first floor they came across both Gon and Killua, but they couldn't say anything as they were both terrified at the immense pressure from the Ant Kings Nen they were feeling with their bodies that they were frozen in place only to see both Netero and Zeno follow him but were both clearly sweating the entire time.
Netero didn't say anything but while following he just pointed towards the stairs leading upwards to point the two in the direction of their objective while they continued onwards.
They both looked at each other and slowly made their way upstairs heading towards their main objective.
And not long after the Ant King and the two old men made it outside, only by then they noticed something strange, a skeleton emitting absolutely no Nen powers whatsoever, but when just looking at the Skeleton mage before them they felt as if the Deaths Scythe was placed upon their necks, which made them even more tense than they already were, but they steeled themselves and kept approaching even as the Skelton Mage, no it be better to call it the Skeleton King, stood up and look towards the three of them.
"Back off, I'll handle this myself." Even though he stood no chance in a direct confrontation but he didn't care, though Ainz shook his head.
"No, I'm here to bring you two to another location to fight." He says as he taps his staff on the ground and a portal opens behind him which the Ant King doesn't hesitate as he walks into leaving the two men behind.
"I'll handle this from now on, Zeno, you've done enough for me." Netero pats Zenos shoulder before he walks toward the portal and without hesitating goes through it with Ainz going in last as i closes behind them both.
"Haaaa, all I can say is good luck to you all, but my mission is finished here…." Zeno says before he conjures up one of his Nen dragons before flying off straight into the sky before disappearing out of sight.
After passing through the portal, Ainz went far off to the side while Netero went to one half of the area they were at where as the king was sitting down and looking at him from the other half.
"This is between you two, I have no interest in this fight at all and I will only get involved if either one of you force my hand." Ainz decided to get it out of the way that he is a third party and is on neither's side so if he was attacked he would retaliate as a result of said attack.
No one said anything as they both stared each other down, but their was a silent tacit agreement that this fight would only be between Netero and the Ant King.
And so the battle between the Worlds Strongest Hunter and the Chimera Ant King has begun.
Meanwhile, back at the palace, up on the second floor both me and Pitou were in the same room while she was working tirelessly on healing Komugi back to full health.
Though I sat in a chair reading a book to pass the time as I slowly felt the familiar presence of two people approaching this room making me grin a little, "Seems we have some uninvited guests."
I say before pulling my eyes away from my book to stare at the door that bursts open as the two kids appear before my eyes as Gon stares daggers into both me and Pitou and looked even more pissed seeing Pitou so attentively trying to heal someone and to top it all off it's a human.
"Huhu, I like that look in your eyes, tell me something boy, did you like what I had done with your friend?" I said purposely gaining both Gons attention and ire as he turned his hate filled gaze towards me instead.
I could see him clenching his fists with so much unbridled rage bubbling within him that even his friend Killua had no idea how to pull him back from doing something stupid in his angered state.
"But since you two were able to make it all the way here, alive at that, I guess I should reward you two, we knew that you were able to secure Kite from us but we just let you guys have him back since we have been busy, so I'll be nice and help your friend like you both clearly want, right?" I say as I get up and place the book down before standing up and slowly walk towards them both.
"…. Just like that? Your going to help fix Kite?" Killua, the level headed one of the two was confused as to why I would go out of my way to do this without needing anything in return.
"Just like that, besides now I don't have anything better to do so why not? Besides I can see you both have been working rather hard to help save your friend, rather commendable, so lead me to him and I will fix his body back to perfect condition." I say as I pass them and walk out the door before I look back at them.
I can see the conflicted feelings they both have at this moment but knowing Kite will be fixed makes Gon happy, but he doesn't show it on his face since he is clearly very angry about everything that happened but if Kites okay then everything pans out the way it should and everything will be alright.
So they both looked at themselves before they ran out and began to lead the way while I casually followed behind them to where they have taken Kite so I can 'fix' him.
But unknown to them I was giving a sinister grin as my eyes glowed red in excitement at what is to come next, after all….
Theirs no medicine in the world that can bring a corpse back from the dead without any adverse side effects after all.
