Chapter 170: Normal Conversation Between Friends

..........

Specifically, his stealth training and he managed to take it quite far with the combination with his body alteration ability, to the point Hisoka sensed nothing as Illumi stood behind him with his emotionless dark black eyes looking at him.

To the point, he only reacted once Illumi's hand went through his back and appeared from his chest taking his heart in the process as he felt something being inserted in his brain, a completely black needle specifically prepared for him.

Yet Hisoka only frowned witnessing all of this happen as if he's watching it from a bystander's point of view not affected by his heart being taken out, or at least he appears to be as he knew at that moment he only has a few minutes to live.

Illumi retracted his arm leaving a bloody hallow hole in the man's chest, Hisoka who is strangely silent as he slowly crouched to the ground and sat down comfortably, as much as his current state allows him.

At that moment, every Zombie body fell down as Illumi no longer needed them, Illumi who is strangely wearing the Kakin soldiers' outfit in contrast to what he was wearing at the beginning of the fight.

And Hisoka noticed something else, one of the soldiers that he left behind him has disappeared leaving only one who is down on the ground, he also noticed the Illumi he 'Killed' fell to the ground while deforming slowly until the body turned back to its original appearance, and he remembers that appearance well, the appearance of the soldier behind him that disappeared.

A small smile surfaced on Hisoka's face as he laid down resting his head on what of the disfigured bodies behind him, he started mumbling in an extremely low tone, but enough for Illumi to hear him clearly.

He was doing the bare minimum of activities as to allow himself some more time remaining in the world of the livings a bit more, "I see, I got outplayed, well done."

Illumi just shook his head as he sat down next to him bother looking at the numerous corpses before them, "If I actually fight just for that feeling of winning then I'd be feeling pretty bad right now because it didn't really feel like a win."

Hisoka seems to understand what the Zoldyck means as he just closed his eyes allowing him to continue, "You were too distracted, or at least that's what it felt like, it felt like you could've done much better... But well, I'm an assassin in the first place so the sooner the fight ends the better."

"But I really thought the fight would go on for much longer, just what did you see that distracted you? What did my brother do?" Illumi was genuinely curious, just what could've Yasuo done to make Hisoka be in such a state? The strange human that always seeks challenges to death seemed distracted in the middle of such a challenge.

"Nothing... he did nothing to me, it's what I saw him do and the endless doubts that spurted from that." Gently explained Hisoka not minding the fatal amount of blood continuously dripping from the hole in his chest.

Only now did a light of understanding passed within Illumi's inky eyes, "I see, you saw his strength or something similar and you wondered if you can ever reach that level of power but even if you did, he would've reached a whole other level and you'll to again work to reach that level, an infinite hopeless cycle."

'What did he see though? Even I don't know the extent of his powers, well, I'll ask Hisoka later.' Wondered Illumi in anticipation in his mind.

Hisoka didn't respond, instead, he asked a question of his own, "What you said before, did you mean it? About me being left alive if I win?"

Illumi raised his brow then shook his head, "Of course not, I lied, he definitely would've killed you if he thought you'd win."

Just a normal conversation between friends, that's all this is. One seems to be almost asleep dozing off with his head on the corpse's body while the other one seems to be playing around with the pool of blood in front of him with his pale hand that no longer became pale.

"You kept quite a lot of things from me huh, I didn't know you can change body shapes to that extent. But how? I noticed none of the soldiers can use Nen yet one of them was you and the copy appeared exactly like you even with its Aura, how?"

"Yeah, I learned to be cautious just in case, and only a few people in my family know about it as I know just how threatening the ability is though it only works because I combined it with another ability so yeah."

"As for how, I exchanged my clothes with the body and studied it a bit so the body alteration can be perfect. Also, for that level of alteration to happen, a few conditions need to be met, the body needs to be a living body not a dead one and that requires me to add more needles than normally to keep it under control as well as have more accurate control over it because it's necessary."

"I also need to put the same amount of needles in me as well but that's not a problem for me. Most importantly, the body has to be of a Nen user to foul someone like you because only with that can alter the victim's Nen to look like mine and the opposite is also true, so you thought the victim is me and me as just a random Nenless soldier and posing as a Nenless person isn't really hard at all, what do you think?"

Illumi didn't mind explaining at all and he explained everything thoroughly before asking his friend a question, a question that wasn't answered as all, silence until Illumi slowly closed his eyes for a second muttering, "Right..."

Illumi slowly stood up then brought Hisoka's heart he dropped previously and put next to the hole in Hisoka's chest, then he brought a few other black needles and inserted them in Hisoka's head adding them to the other one already inserted.

He put his hands on his head and started outputting his Aura towards the now breathless body, slowly it started a process similar to the ones he has done in the previous fight, the body started slightly twisting attracting the heart to its previous place.

The hole started closing up with the veins getting connected to each other slowly, the hole closed completely appearing as if it was never there, "I can't have you dying now, can I?"

The moment he finished the process, Hisoka stood up though he doesn't seem to be conscious and it was also at that moment that Illumi received a message, he looked at his phone rising his brow in wonder, "He did? When? Well, I'll talk to him later.." Then he left with Hisoka followed closely after him as he knows more Nen users will definitely come shortly after.

.....

Yasuo gently lifted the test tube that has a red liquid within, a fresh scarlet liquid that smells like blood, he slowly drank it sip by sip as he sat atop of the black whale, he has an unending source of blood for every target of his, his negative rose made it possible even though the targets are dead and he will only stop drinking it once his genes and Nen fully assimilate them.

And the results were already quite obvious because on Yasuo's left free hand that he's moving in the air, there is a small fire, a fire burning from his finger so small it appears as if it's the fire of a candle, burning slowly and calmly.

He spread all of his fingers apart and from each one of them, a candle flame lit up burning calmly until it started becoming more like a raging fire, all the small flames mixed up together and started flying around him becoming brighter and hotter by the minute the more Aura he pumps into it all with his control domain allowing him to do what Feitan could never do.

The fire will need to be way hotter than its current temperature to affect him with his current physique, and even then, he can just create an armor with his Aeronen which is extremely resistant to heat so every weakness of the ability Feitan face is something Yasuo will never face, he mimicked the ability in its most primal form.

The interesting thing about this is that Yasuo didn't really need to be harmed by Feitan's fire to be able to do this, another benefit of his genes is that now, all he has to do to mimic an ability is to observed how the target's Aura behaves when using the ability and getting a certain amount of their blood.

He will mimic their abilities and push them much more than they ever could without any of the restrictions they had to abide by, and perhaps after assimilating Chrollo and a few other people's blood, he will even be able to mimic some of the high-end abilities he couldn't previously mimic.

Just like after he drank the King's blood and found out that trying to mimic his wonderous ability became a bit easier and he estimated that it will take much less time to completely mimic it though he found that conjuration abilities are the hardest to mimic while enhancement is the simplest, of course, there are some specialists abilities that top everything else.

However, he found that even after this, he still can't absorb people's Aura as Meruem could but he can completely copy their genetic functions as well as easily mimic their abilities.

But for now, it didn't matter much to him as at this point, he doesn't even need to train to enlarge his Aura pool, it's getting naturally enlarged at a pace that rivals even the top talents in the world.

His Aura pool is becoming bigger and bigger by the minute to the point he judged it will take him no more than three years to reach post-rose Meruem's level of Aura.

And he can make that process much faster by just assimilating more bloodlines especially the ones that are rich with Nen and the same is happening to his input pushing how much information and Aura his brain can handle in a certain amount of time significantly, constant evolution.
