170 Sensation of death

As Izan's hand was already up when the dragon like attack was near him, he simply flickered his wrist downwards without saying anything.

And like his actions were the law of the world, the world had to obey all of his commands. A heavy pressure fell upon the Nen attack the old man threw at him which shattered it into pieces before not a single bit of Nen remained within the attack.

The moment the pressure appeared, the old assassin knew one thing for sure, that he was outclassed by the youth in front of him. But his eyes squinted and he sprinted towards the man in front of him.

Yet before the old man could get too close, he noticed something. He noticed that whilst the youth's wrist went back to its original spot and merely a moment later, a finger of his went dropped down as he spoke a word in a deep voice.

"Kneel." Izan spoke one word as he pointed towards the ground with his finger whilst gazing at the old man. Izan didn't bother infusing his Nen into his Law of Gravity against this old man, because if he did so, the old man would have died instantly which is not something Izan wanted right now.

The area around the old man froze as a pressure much heavier than earlier pushed the old man down to the ground. The old man quickly fell to his knees, his knees shattered but no voice came out of his mouth. The old man was used to pain much more, he had even felt pain worse than that when he was barely 5 years old.

When the old man was on his knees, Izan finally began moving, he slowly walked towards the kneeling old man with a smirk on his face. "Now, I have a few questions that I would like to ask, will you be answering them for me?" Izan asked in a deep voice whilst staring at the old man who wasn't able to stand up due to the pressure he is pushing down on him.

The old man calmly gazed at the youth in front of him which was around the same age of his grandson. He had felt that the youth came from the Dark Continent, but no matter how he searched with his Nen, he could only find out that the youth was a human and not a beast.

"Are you a human being?" He asked at the youth, but the second he said, the pressure on his body skyrocketed to the point of most of his bones cracking.

"I am the one asking questions here. Tell me, what happened here?" Izan gazed at the old man, daring him to avoid answering him would only make Izan put more pressure on the old man. Izan would rather avoid killing the old man if he could due to he was quite sure that not many were as strong as this old man. And with the abilities of an assassin that he showed previously, could only mean that this old man was a lot of information which he needs.

Because if Izan was to allow his wives to conqueror this world for him, he would like to know any hidden secrets that might be able to harm them. And what caused the chaos where he was at right now, was one of the things that could actually harm his wives unless he healed them. That was because Izan could see that what caused this chaos happened a long time ago, but it was still slowly spreading like a virus, slowly eroding the world.

And as Izan didn't want this to happen quite yet, he spread his invisible Magical Power and red Nen around the area to destroy anything that was harming the planet.

The dark ground vanished almost instantly before returning to a field of brown earth.

After having done that, Izan put his gaze on the old man yet again, wanting answers.

-Whilst Izan was going to get answers from the old man, the ones that just walked out of the manor Defying was experiencing something else…

The moment everyone had left the manor, Hisoka, Defying, Jiutian and Calypso sensed something.

A figure suddenly appeared behind Perona, a sharp knife was nearing the neck of Perona at a speed that couldn't be seen by most people.

Perona's entire body froze for a brief moment, time slowed down for her as she knew one thing for sure, that someone was trying to kill her. Perona was sure about one thing, which was that she wouldn't be able to protect herself. Her mind that was threatening to break suddenly showed forth an image, an image of her knight, of the person she loved the most – Izan.

But whilst Perona was barely able to keep her mind calm, worrying about her life, a couple of people began acting much faster than the assassin that was trying to kill Perona.

Hisoka let out his most threatening Nen towards the assassin to hinder his movements, and it worked for a tenth of a second. Which was more than enough.

Defying's scythe was already in her hand as it had already cut through the hand which held the knife which was nearing Perona's neck. Yet even whilst the knife being so close to Perona, Defying's expression was still like ever, not showing any kind of expression.

Jiutian wasn't to be outdone by Hisoka and Defying, she had appeared by Perona's side and placed her hand in between of the knife and Perona with her left hand, and with her right hand she was pushing the assassin away from Perona.

And it was then that a noise was heard. "Chirp chirp." Calypso chirped happily as she didn't need to make her move any longer as the others had rescued Perona. Calypso would only have killed that assassin if the knife were very near Perona's neck.

The feeling of doom that Perona felt suddenly vanished, she could see that Jiutian and Defying were near her but she also felt that Hisoka was glaring at the person behind her. Perona's body trembled, not in fear, but of anger. She was angry at herself, she had almost died without being able to do anything.

'What would Izan feel if I died? He would be devastated! I don't ever want Izan to feel like that!!!' Perona thought of the story Jiutian had told them, of how broken of a man Izan was when he almost lost his loved one. Perona would never want to cause Izan that.

Perona slowly turned around, a cold glint appeared in her pupils as she gazed at the man with white hair which was floating on the air not too far away from them.

If Perona ever want to grow stronger, she had to fight. Hundreds of ghosts appeared around of the assassin from all around him, but that wasn't enough for Perona as she also released her Nen, a grey light spread from her body which caused the ghosts she had earlier released to become even stronger by more than twice.
