Chapter 115: For The Ants We Go

.......

Netero's eyes gleamed for a split second before saying, "As for you... All I want you to do is to make sure the King is dead as well as the other smaller ants... Without spoiling my fun of course.

I'm sure you understand my request clearly and I presume you accept?"

The tranquility never left Yasuo's face as he turned his face looking at Netero and answered, "I accept..."

The black-haired man only stayed silent for a second before adding, "I did my fair share of investigations on the ants so I have a general idea of what's going on.

So just call me when you decide to start, I'll be close by. As for the payment... Just owe me one."

And so Yasuo disappeared directly after with Netero letting a sigh of relief hearing the confirmation, a confirmation that insinuates more than what appears.

Yasuo went back to doing his own business though of course not forgetting to watch the Island regularly. Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com

This is an important incident to him and to make full use of it, he needs to do a lot of things including but not only collecting all the pieces.

And a specific piece is his current target... The Queen piece which is the second most important piece in the chessboard he is playing only second to the King.

After all, even with the magical natural ability of the Queen, he can still see something more in the king, a natural ability far above what the Queen can do but an ability that wasn't made use of to its fullest.

So as the Chimera Ant Queen muttered the name of the king to the onlookers, she breathed her last breath much to the dismay of the people and the Chimera ants in the nest, losing their queen and their source of light was... devastating, to say the least.

This is a species that stands upon the shoulders of the Queen and their King appeared to be different than they anticipated.

The ants grieved their queen's passing... Only the loyal ants did because even in a well-built nest, a few rogue ants are bound to exist, this nest just happened to have a lot more of them, sentient ants that can clearly think and has their own aspirations and goals.

And so the queen started being transported under instructions of the hunter association since the latter is responsible for getting all the Chimera ants' bodies... And that would've been fine if not for the two variables Yasuo and... Pariston the hunter association's vice president.

Their goals are quite different as Yasuo simply wants the ants' bodies to study their biology while Pariston... Well, wants a tool he can use if so he wished and he prefers live ants in contrast to Yasuo.

He went through several portals after that until the scenery finally changed completely.

And in front of their eyes, there was land, something they haven't seen for a minute or so.

That's just how far Yasuo has come, even with portals as massive as these ones, he can still travel from one continent to another in a matter of a minute and that says a lot considering how far the vast Island in front of them from the Anrika continent.

The Island on which Chimera ants inhabit and Draco continued flying until he went through a portal, the last one as they have reached their destination which is the Republic of East Gorteau.

This is where most hunters are since the King and the Royal guards took over the royal palace basically performing a massacre as they spread their clutches to the whole country.

The dragon followed Zeno's continuous commands perfectly until he landed at the meeting place.

The place agreed upon by the Zoldycks and Netero with the latter already expecting their arrival as he could be seen waiting along in the high hill.

Not a green hill but a crisp one just like the other surrounding hills, it is the south part of the known world and in this world.

This area is quite hot and it only gets hotter the souter one goes though even with the temperature, one can still feel the breeze passing by as this area is also a bit windy... A hot breeze that didn't seem to trouble anyone of the four.

"Well, you arrived perfectly on time just as you said." Lightly remarked Netero while stroking his beard.

"Well well. we have someone with an interesting ability, as you already know, so transportation became easier." Remarked the other old man in the area, Zeno, while lightly caressing his long mustache.

None of the three Zoldycks moved from the back of the dragon, instead, Netero is the one who jumped on Draco's back saying.

"The operation will start not long from now so let's fly slowly taking our time and we should be there by the agreed time." Simply explained Netero to which Zeno nodded and gave Draco new instructions.

Only then did the massive Dragon start flying albeit slowly as they're not far off from the Royal palace and only then did Netero started giving some instructions through a special transmitter specially made for hunters.

The heavy instructions were given to all the leading hunters participating in the operation simultaneously.

"Kids... Follow the already given instructions carefully though you can improvise if the situation needed it. We might die here but since you are here then that means you're ready for that fate so all I can really say is good luck... Just don't depend on luck too much."

The simple words from an old man that don't seem to mean much or is that encouraging set flames into the hunters' hearts, making their hearts beat faster yet calming their minds at the same time.

These are the words of an old man... but not any old man, the words of the man known as the strongest Nen user in the world...
