Inside the armory of the House of Blood Fist;
’Hmm! There are quite a lot of Natural Fruits. I never thought these gangsters would save these many fruits.’
A man wearing red plated armor looked around the room and spotted a box full of fifteen Natural Fruits.
His purple eyes with three golden dots stared at those fruits and chuckled.
’I guess I will be taking these with . Being able to transfer power is quite an amazing skill.’
’No wonder Lord gave such an order. Unfortunately, I am still not strong enough to face a Seventh Rank Hunter.’
His expression beca serious as he raised his hand, and a purple portal appeared in front of his palm.
Then, he started throwing those fruits into the portal. But he wasn’t done with just fruits.
He also started putting other weapons and armories into the portal. After emptying half of the armory, he finally left the room.
He had complete access to this room, but he needed to do sothing.
After a while, he ca to the corner of a large building where a girl was waiting for him.
This girl was none other than Misaka.
As she appeared in front of him, she let out a breath, and the man’s pupils turned black.
"Huh? What am I doing here? Who are you?"
When the man saw this girl, he suddenly flared out his Aura. But the next mont, he found himself unable to move.
"Ww-wh-what’s going on? Why can’t I move?"
The man trembled as he watched the dots in Misaka’s pupils spin at an incredible speed.
"Why? Can’t you rember the power of your friendly neighbor?"
When Misake said that, the man’s eyes widened.
He rembered it now. Alxon, one of the top officers in the House of Iron Fist, a Fifth Rank Hunter like himself, had the ability to control others with just a thought.
The downside was that this ability only worked on soone weaker than them.
At this mont, his expression turned pale. He realized the problem.
This enemy in front of him possessed Axlon’s ability alongside the strength of a Sixth Rank hunter.
He didn’t ask why this girl had that ability. Right now, he just wanted to go back and tell his Lord about this information.
But Misaka wasn’t going to let him leave.
"Sorry, dear, but you have to stay put!"
She raised her hand, and a purple Aura erged from her palm, gripping the man with an insane gravity.
[Third Skill- Heavy Realm]
"This is sothing I haven’t tested before. So, let’s see how much gravity your body can bear, without any skills or ability."
As she said, she raised her palm.
"Ten Tis Gravity"
Suddenly, the man felt an intense pressure pulling his body down. His cells started churning, and his body turned red.
"Tsk! Unfortunately, I can’t let you use your Aura right now. Otherwise, it would be fun to test your true limits."
"Anyway, let’s end this here!"
"Twenty Tis Gravity"
As she said that, the man’s legs broke apart. His inner organs were pulled down, and even his brain was displaced.
The blood poured out of his body. The veins split open, and he died with the most painful look on his face.
But at the sa ti, Misaka also showed a painful expression.
Unfortunately, she didn’t have ti to waste here.
Raising her hand, she murmured.
[New Transferred Ability- Portal]
As she whispered, a large amount of purple Aura erged from her body, converging into one point as it started spinning in mid-air.
From that point, it slowly turned into a large circle, and behind that circle was another city.
She stepped into the portal, and it slowly disappeared.
Two minutes later, several people appeared in that exact place.
Although his face was disfigured, they were still able to recognize him.
"No doubt, it’s Convo! He is dead. So, how did soone take his key and enter the armory?"
"But how could soone kill him without alerting any of us? Even for a Sixth Rank, that’s impossible, right?"
"Yes, Misomi!"
A hoarse voice ca from behind.
Misomi turned back and saw a man wearing a red gown as he walked towards them. There was no expression on his face.
Neither was he radiating any kind of pressure, but she could see the intense anger in his eyes.
"Lord Hank, why did you co here? We were just about to inform you."
Misomi imdiately got into her right knee as she spoke.
Next to her, two people wearing similar costus also knelt in front of the man.
"Why shouldn’t I be here, Misomi? My house was invaded. My treasury was stolen. I need to know who did this."
"And why would a Seventh Rank Hunter take few armors, weapons, and Natural Fruits?"
"Sir, do you think this is done by other Houses or Nobles?" Misomi asked.
"That’s what I want to know."
His rage burst out, releasing a massive killing intent that made these guards shiver in fear.
But even at this mont, he wasn’t releasing his Aura.
He looked at Misomi and said.
"I will give you three days. Find out the culprit or any clues about them. I need to know who has decided to beco our enemy."
Saying so, he turned back.
His face still revealed the anger, but the man was able to control himself.
He only wondered if it was truly a Seventh Rank Hunter who attacked them.
First of all, if it were Seventh Rank Hunter, there was no reason for them to loot his treasury.
The only reason for that to happen would be creating a new force.
Unfortunately, he didn’t think he had missed a single hunter in the country who had reached Seventh Rank that didn’t co from a certain force.
If Eighth Rank were considered the leaders of the world, Seventh Rank would be considered the true controller.
Even the forces with Eighth Rank would usually have a Seventh Rank hunter to control their forces.
Their Houses only had the Seventh Rank at the highest. If they had Eighth Rank, they would’ve destroyed nobles by now.
Unfortunately, not everyone had the potential to reach the Eighth Rank. The difficulty was purely due to the creation of Mythical Skill.
Even reaching the Seventh Rank required a bit of luck and a lot of preparation.
He had spent five decades to reach the Seventh Rank. He didn’t think he had forgotten any Seventh Rank who didn’t co from any powerful forces.
Of course, there would always be exceptions.
Like Diva!
A mysterious genius who rose to prominence in less than two decades.
They even suspect this man could reach the Ninth Rank very soon.
’So, if it is not a Seventh Rank, how did a Sixth Rank kill a Fifth Rank without alerting anyone?’
’Unless this person has the ability to control them. No, even if that person could control others, they can’t stop my guard from releasing his Aura.’
’The only one capable enough to do that was a guy from Troy. His ability gives him absolute control over objects, including the human body.’
’I heard he had developed a skill that can stop human molecules, without disturbing their basic survival.’
’But that skill doesn’t work against soone with a similar or higher level of Aura. If it isn’t him, who did it?’
’Could it be soone else has managed to awaken a similar ability? Or, is it truly perhaps Troy?’
’Considering the potential of awakening the weirdest of the abilities, I can’t be sure of anyone.’
The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he beca.
But eventually, he released a deep sigh and returned to his room.
Surprisingly, it didn’t take them three days to find clues. It only took them two hours.
It wasn’t much of a clue, but rather sothing they noticed through investigation of the armory.
Hank angrily clenched his fist and asked.
"So, the culprit didn’t use Convo’s key but controlled him to use his fingerprint to enter the armory."
"Then, he killed Convo outside my building and left just like that. And, we don’t even know how he did this."
"Is that all you can find?"
Misomi shook her head and said.
"Lord, this is what we’ve found in two hours. We are still investigating the situation."
"It is clear that Convo was controlled few hours after lunch. During lunch, he didn’t show any sort of problem."
"According to his wife, they even talked for half an hour, but she didn’t notice any changes."
"Lord, I don’t think she was lying. That ans Convo was controlled after he resud his post at one o’clock."
"Lord, if we extend our search, we might be able to find this person. After all, we have proven that this person is using their ability to control Convo."
Hearing that, a look of approval appeared on his face.
"Since he has control-type ability and power to crush soone’s body inside-out, he shouldn’t have any more abilities."
"Alright, Misomi, call every single man of our House! I must find this person at any cost."
"Nobody takes my treasure and gets away with it!"
