Chapter 181: We Lost And Came Back... Prepared  

..........

He eats the ones he deems are dangerous without being affected by them and he cocks them to the others using a simple white pot he conjures.

He just puts the raw food inside, poisonous or not, deadly or not. He then hugs the large pot to his chest after shutting it tightly and focuses his Aura into it, continuously feeding it until the food is ready.

No matter what the state of the food before the cooking process, once it was cocked in the pot, it will become completely edible though he doesn't seem to be affected by any type of poison in the first place.

His ability is already quite impressive but that's not the only thing he can do. He can judge creatures and plants' strength and properties, and he will have a general idea of how they function.

If on the other hand, he eats the creature whole without leaving even a speck of it, he can get much more information though under the condition he cocks all of it in his conjured pot, and while its a bit large, It's only large enough for a normal chicken to be fit in.

And there is another use of the pot that's quite interesting rising its functionality significantly. Deep in the forest, strange animals everywhere, most aren't hostile but the ones that are hostile are incredibly dangerous.

The forest seems to be a natural and favorable home for all kinds of creatures, especially snakes. Numerous kinds of snakes that are actually hard to detect as they hide either in the bushes, the undergrowth, or the trees and jungle vines hanging from them.

Some are almost completely impossible to detect due to their natural color which is similar to the jungles and their surroundings and some are able to change their colors relative to the environment and that applies to most deadly creatures around.

They adapted and evolved to become a natural predator ready to strike at any point... To no avail. Pekotero simply points out in certain directions for the chef Shansi who is close to him act as planned. All he does is Aim the opened pot in that direction and focusing his En to accurately detect the creature. The moment that happens, the pot will fly towards the creature engulfing it inside then he will have to lift the lid still in his hand and point it towards the pot which will turn around and fly towards it closing down.

A near instantaneous process not giving the creatures any chance, provided the creatures can fit inside the pot as that's necessary for the ability to work. Nothing inside can leave unless he allows it or it will simply become cocked food.

If Poketero deemed the creature he smells might not fit the pot, he will inform other members of the team to eliminate it. Mostly Golem's subordinates that start firing Nen bullets with the conjured weapons of Golem.

That would've been quite risky as the deafening sound could attract even more danger which is unnecessary, if not for another member of the team, Nataly.

A pink-haired woman in her early thirties, long pink kimono. A woman who rarely speaks which is in stark contrast to her ability's functions, a calm and gentle person.

She closed her eyes and started taking a deep breath that turned to something more. she started sucking the air around her as she let her gentle Aura surround her.

At the same time they opened fire yet not a sound was heard. Not the breathing of anyone around or the footsteps of the still moving people, or the continuous gunfire. Only pure silence.

The sound in a certain area around them was extinguished until she stopped, only then did life come back to the place.

Her face looked bright red and she seems to have trouble breathing after doing that but it wasn't long before she came back to her normal state.

Just a bit less than a minute, enough time for the enemy to exploit that weakness. That's why she's protected from all sides, not only is her ability extremely valuable, it's their salvation for what Beyond wants to do.

And here he is, Yasuo walking silently with his eyes closed throughout the trip, his eyes were always closed.

The ones that are keeping an eye on him didn't really think much of it, they didn't think much of it as they know he is an assassin in the first place and many people can do the same, walk without eyes.

He was however in his own strange world. He was exploring the dark continent with his invisible and undetected strings and he was especially focused on a certain direction.

He was focused on the direction of the location told to him by Zigg, the direction where an ancient mysterious entity lied.

He is simply manipulating his strings to fly towards the location for when he wants to teleport there and do a little investigation.

Even though Beyond said the forest isn't that dangerous, he just meant it's not as dangerous as everything else in the dark continent, it's definitely dangerous.

So at one point in time, the other Nen users started getting involved. The main force of the team responsible for the offensive part. The deeper they go the more dangerous it becomes and the more time passes the more danger they attract, they appeared to be a danger magnet, like the more time passes, the more unlucky they become.

However, Beyond prepared enough for the team to ignore most of the danger though it strangely seems that the creatures are specifically targeting a few specific people, Yasuo, Pariston, Ging, and Beyond.

These people are the only ones allowed to break the formation and do whatever they want especially fighting the massive creatures that target them, so they have to keep their distance from the team. Beyond kept the strangeness in his mind and saw this as an advantage because that danger will only be attracted to them so each took care of the danger in their own way, rarely do they use abilities of theirs.

Yasuo just stuck to using portals to redirect the creatures' attacks to themselves by creating the destination portal before a weak point of the creatures and used his physical strength if necessary.

Pariston on the other hand just hid behind Ging and allowed him to do all the work, he rarely acted though he didn't use any ability. He just used his weak physical strength with Gyo to do the job. A smile of amusement never left his face.

A smile that receded as time went on. Until they caught sight of the ancient labyrinthine city, by this point, Ging who clearly understands the events hidden behind the scene had a smile of amusement on his face.

They reached the labyrinthine too easily in contrast to what Pariston expected, 'He decided to interfere, he didn't want to play the game but still involved himself in it anyway... Yep, I hate him.'

Thought Parsiton looking at the expressionless Yasuo. Pariston's strange ability doesn't fail as he made sure of that, the vows and limitations he added make sure it's at the level it is today.

An ability extremely simple yet complex at its core. One fitting of someone like him, someone who loves to destroy what he loves and likes, someone who likes to see the despair in the eyes of people especially once he doesn't like or hate.

An ability that will make things harder for people around him, whether the ones he loves or hate. At later stages of the ability, it will even go as far as make people feel despair through various methods, random ones he has no control over.

The ability will also make him face similar situations to the ones they face and possibly face that same despair they face. A weakness negated by his strange personality.

'It's okay, this is just the start.' Pariston convinced himself but hope still remained in his eyes, Hope that Yasuo will kill him himself and activate the final condition of his ability.

That sounds extremely entertaining to him, he won't live to see it but he will know that Yasuo will have to live with a gloomy fate that will likely make him want to end his life.

'Why did I want to play with him in the first place?' He thought, realizing that may be a mistake, the man is too dangerous and he knows so little of him but Pariston's strange personality forced him to want to play that game.

"We'll camp here for two days before going through with our plans, plans I will explain to you tomorrow after you'll rest." Calmly stated Beyond while looking at the slightly visible ruins not far from them

They walked about 400 miles deep into the forest and it only took them about eight days to do so even with the complex structure of the forest. A normal human will take months to do what they did.

They took a direct path ignoring any obstacles normal humans will have to go around. They easily passed the steep hills with Yasuo's portals and even without it, they are Nen users and there are many things they can do to be as efficient.

They set up their camp only a few miles away from the ruins as Beyond knows the danger within will only appear once they set their feet on the city ground.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, everyone prepared and went over the plan several times, and again, nothing bad happened, everything was going too well annoying Pariston even more.

Similar formation as this time, Beyond was walking behind Poketero with Nataly next to him then they started slowly walking towards the labyrinthine ruins even more cautious than before.

Humanity learned from their mistakes and from what they faced and lost, they found ways and weaknesses of the enemy that once seemed so far out of their league and they came back stronger and more prepared.

What lies in the ruins is none other than one of the most dangerous calamities if not the most dangerous, Brion which has the appearance of an enormous sphere on top of a human body, where the head should be...
