Hunter × Hunter: The Seven Deadly Sins

Municipal building, underground parking lot.

Because I was off work, the underground parking lot, which was usually crowded with cars, was now spacious.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a load-bearing column suddenly broke, and a huge figure broke through the load-bearing column and then ran around in the underground parking lot without caring.

The twelve tentacles on its back were waving wildly as it ran wildly, and its hard tentacle tips swept across the ceiling of the underground parking lot from time to time, peeling off a lot of cement debris.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

One load-bearing column after another was broken by it. As more and more load-bearing columns were broken by it, the entire municipal building was crumbling and in danger.

"Sa!"

A beam of energy mixed with red lightning shot from a distance, and the huge figure's running steps suddenly stopped, leaving scratches on the hard cement floor like soft soil.

"boom!"

There was a loud noise, and the red energy beam swept across in front of it, leaving a deep trench on the ground. After breaking through a load-bearing column, it finally left a "chichi" smoking circular giant pit on the wall of the parking lot. .

"Hiss..."

Sugata Mori looked at the gap where white smoke was coming out of his shoulder. With a squirming movement in his body, his shoulder returned to its original state.

Immediately, it looked along the deep ditch on the ground towards the place where the attack came from, with a solemn and anthropomorphic look in its pupils.

His face was dull, his pupils were all white, his arms were long but could almost touch the ground, his body was burly but bloated, and there was a gap in his belly that was gradually shrinking and disappearing.

"Uh-huh!"

After missing a single blow, the dull-faced Gratoni kicked off his feet and rushed over suddenly.

"Tap tap tap..."

Gratoni moved quickly, making a sound that was neither heavy nor crisp. Although his body was bloated, his speed was not slow.

"What the hell are you!?"

"Humanity?"

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Sugata Mori looked at the deformed body rushing toward him. While asking questions, the twelve hard tentacles on his back shot out at once, attacking Gratoni.

"Uh-huh!"

However, Gratoni, who was running wildly, smiled stupidly when faced with the incoming tentacles, giving people the feeling that his plot had succeeded.

"Um!?"

Sugata Mori's eyes widened and he clearly caught the change in Gratoni's facial expression.

"Tear~!"

Just when his attack was about to arrive, Gratoni's stomach split open with a "tearing" sound, revealing a ferocious mouth full of sharp teeth, like a shark with its mouth wide open waiting for its prey to fall into its trap.

"A mouth on your belly!?"

Sugata Mori was shocked, but he had no intention of withdrawing the attack. He still sent the twelve tentacles according to his original idea.

"If you dare to devour my body, you should be prepared to be infected!"

With this thought, all twelve tentacles sank into Gratoni's "big mouth".

While running wildly, Gratoni stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth, but the ferocious mouth on his belly still seemed unsatisfied, opening and closing waiting for the arrival of the next prey.

"What!?"

As for Sugata Mori, he was shocked again, because the moment his tentacles sank into the giant mouth, he lost contact with him.

It felt like a part of my body had suddenly disappeared, and I had completely lost this part, which was horrifying.

"I'm about to start~"

At this time, Gratoni had already arrived in front of it and jumped up with a "swish".

"Uh hey hey..."

There was a happy giggle on his face, drool dripped from the corner of his mouth, and the ferocious giant mouth on his belly opened wide, swallowing it.

"You brought this to your door yourself!"

Sugata Mori suppressed the emotions in his heart, and his back squirmed rapidly.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Hundreds of red tentacles shot out at the same time, spread out in mid-air, and attacked Gratoni from all angles, up, down, left, and right.

"Puff puff……"

Gratoni, who was in mid-air, was naturally unable to avoid such an all-round attack. Hundreds of tentacles pierced into his body at the same time like sharp swords, fixing him in mid-air.

There was even one that penetrated straight through the back of his head and emerged from between his eyebrows.

"Hmph, you must have been one of the people who attacked me in the building before."

"Tackle one first."

Sugata Mori looked at Gratoni, who was almost like a hedgehog in front of him, with an arrogant tone.

"Ah~?"

Gratoni, whose body was stabbed into a hornet's nest by hundreds of sharp tentacles, blinked, as if he still didn't understand what happened. His body struggled and moved randomly, grabbing the tentacles inserted into his body with both hands and trying to pull them out.

"What's going on!?" Sugata Mori looked at Gratoni in front of him, who had clearly penetrated all the vital points of his body and even destroyed his brain, but was still struggling like a normal person, and was shocked again.

At this time, Gratoni struggled for a while and found that there were too many tentacles on his body. It would be a waste of time to pull them out one by one, so he opened the door of truth in his body again.

"boom!"

A red beam of light flashed away, leaving a large hole in the ground.

This blow penetrated the first and second floors of the underground parking lot, and directly shot out a dark, smoking circular pit on the third floor of the underground parking lot.

"Isn't this guy human!?"

Sugata Mori stood in the distance. When Gratoni activated his ability, he voluntarily gave up the hundreds of tentacles piercing Gratoni's body to avoid this attack.

Although it has self-healing function, its energy and cells are also limited, and it is impossible to heal itself indefinitely. In order to avoid falling into a possible dormant state, it is best not to be injured as much as possible.

"Hmm...why can't I hit it?"

"It's so annoying...my father will be angry..."

Gratoni fell down from mid-air with a "pop" and sat there, worrying about himself, ignoring the horrific injuries on his body.

"Has great power but no wisdom to match it."

"Could this guy be a manifestation of some kind of ability?"

The mimicked Sugata Mori looked at Gratoni's stupid look and immediately understood something.

"The powerful strength and immortal body are somewhat similar to ours. But the injuries on his body have not healed themselves."

"Are there any individuals among humans who pursue higher evolution?"

"However, in this case, the threat of these people will have to be re-evaluated."

Sugata Mori stared at Gratoni, moving slowly, analyzing the battle process just now in his mind and thinking about countermeasures.

"Sa!"

While he was thinking, a sound piercing the air came into his ears.

"Pfft!"

When he reacted, a black spike had penetrated his eyebrow.

"It hit, but it doesn't seem to be of any use."

About twenty meters behind Sugata Mori, Rust put his left hand on his hips, and the tip of his right index finger turned into a twenty-meter-long black spike, which penetrated the mimic's eyebrows.

"Lassiter?"

Gratoni, who was feeling annoyed by himself, heard a familiar voice and immediately raised his head, looking at Rust with a somewhat pleased expression.

"Haha... you actually hurt the youngest brother among us like this."

Rust looked at the dense wounds on Grattoni's body and raised a "smile" on his face.

"brother?"

"us?"

Sugata Mori noticed the key words in Rust's mouth.

"Sure enough, there is more than one existence like you."

While speaking, Sugata Mori took a step forward, his brain broke away from the black spike that penetrated his brain, and there was a "grum" between his eyebrows. When he turned around to face Rust, he had fully recovered.

"Can you tell me who is the strongest among you..."

"Is it here?"

Sugata Mori's eyes were fixed on Rust. From this elegant woman exuding ancient aristocratic temperament, he felt that her attitude was completely indifferent to her own life, just like the ugly fat man with a deformed figure behind her.

This is different from ordinary humans. No matter they are strong or weak, they will feel fear when encountering a life-threatening crisis.

The two "people" he met today gave him the feeling...

They don't think of themselves as human beings at all.

"The strongest one..." Rust put his hands on his hips and smiled, "If you work hard enough, you can fight him today."

"Really?" Sugata Mori's anthropomorphic face flashed with thought for a moment, and he slowly closed his translucent eyes, "The strongest one is here now, right?"

Devour

"Uh-huh!"

The next moment, Sugata Mori suddenly opened his eyes, and hundreds of tentacles shot out from his back towards Rust.

"tentacle?"

"Don't even think of touching me with one of those things!"

Looking at the hundreds of red tentacles attacking her, Rust's face darkened, and the long hair behind him suddenly stood up, and it also turned into hundreds of black spikes and shot out.

"Um!?"

However, as soon as Rust launched his attack, he discovered that the opponent's target was not her.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

When hundreds of red tentacles thrust forward ten meters, they suddenly fell, and the attack target became the ground.

"Boom!"

With a loud sound, a large amount of dust and gravel splashed out in all directions. The hundreds of black spikes shot out by Rust immediately retracted, blocked in front of him, and accurately crushed the splashed gravel. The crumbs flew away, maintaining his elegant posture.

"rustle……"

At this time, there was a slight sound in the dust, and Rust looked intently, only to see that the crimson mimic had disappeared.

Instead, there was a large irregular hole on the ground.

"Da da da……"

Rust's high heels stepped on the hard concrete floor, and crisp footsteps sounded.

"Ah! He actually escaped."

Rust came to a stop in front of the big hole, looked down and saw that the big hole led all the way to the third underground floor.

"This is because I skipped the easy mode and normal mode and went directly to challenge the hard mode."

Rust raised a smile on his lips and gently pressed his right hand behind his ear.

"What's up?"

Ilumi's voice sounded in the headset. The place where he was seemed to be very empty. Rust could even hear the echo from the other side of the headset.

"The target seems to have noticed it, and it's heading towards you."

Rust spoke slowly and slowly.

"I see."

Ilumi replied.
