For the red lights to extinguish one after another so rapidly was a rare sight.
Especially since the extinguished red lights were all members ranked within the top fifteen of the family!
The observer hastily notified the family elders.
But just after the notification, only two red lights remained in that mission area.
Even though the observer was accustomed to life and death, he couldn't help but look shocked now.
A full six red lights, including the number one ranked Beard, had extinguished within a mere five minutes.
You must know, before this phenomenon occurred, the frequency of single red lights extinguishing was basically maintained at thirty minutes.
"What on earth happened?"
The observer murmured gravely.
Unable to learn the on-site situation there, judging from past experience, this commission, for which a heavy team was dispatched, seemed about to fail.
'Complete annihilation?'
The observer dared not imagine that outcome.
That team contained over fifty percent of Blackstone Family's individual combat strength.
Regardless, the observer here absolutely couldn't imagine that including the top combatant Beard, six family elites all died at the hands of the same person, and strictly speaking, all were instant kills.
…
Law continued killing his way forward and encountered Ginta, who had just dealt with an enemy.
In front of Ginta, Law once again released an En sphere large enough to encompass the entire inpatient building.
Under Ginta's gaze, the fluctuating light ring rapidly expanded, passing through walls and windows, covering the entire building.
'That's the En from just now.'
Ginta looked at Law, inwardly shocked.
Seeing such a terrifying En so closely was truly an indescribable feeling.
Just from the perspective of En, that feeling was like bronze looking up at a king.
Moreover, among the people he knew, no one could maintain En at a range of about five hundred meters, right? Let alone over five hundred meters.
Inside the building, the remaining Hunters and Blackstone Family's assassins once again came into contact with the En.
"It's Law's En."
Cheadle and Botobai, who had regrouped, immediately exchanged glances.
Kurapika, who had been with Botobai in the central courtyard, didn't follow inside. He heeded Botobai's instruction, staying outside to negotiate with the SWAT teams, persuading them to abandon the assault operation to avoid unnecessary casualties.
After Law began eliminating the Blackstone Family's assassins, the Association's Hunters participating in this operation gradually gathered together.
Since they didn't have Law's En, they didn't know how many enemies remained, so they could only temporarily move toward Cheadle's location.
In the entire building, only Law immediately grasped the situation.
"That's about it."
Law retracted his En and suddenly murmured.
Hearing this, Ginta was momentarily stunned. Those words didn't seem directed at him.
"Law."
Ginta called out Law's name.
Law glanced at Ginta, threw out a sentence, and left.
"I'll go sweep away the tails."
Watching Law leave just ahead, Ginta subconsciously took a step after him but quickly stopped. Because Law's departure speed was too fast, he understood he couldn't keep up.
Without knowing the enemy locations, forcing himself to follow was meaningless.
Only two Blackstone Family's assassins remained: one was Afro, the other was Monma. They had both just dealt with the Hunters arranged by the Association.
Within ten seconds after the second En wave, two family elders called.
Afro and Monma were in different locations but answered the call simultaneously.
During the call, the elders told them a harsh fact.
All their other teammates, including Beard, were dead… only the two of them remained.
"Tell me the situation there."
After stating the current situation, the Blackstone Family's elders asked the most concerning question.
Since the action's core was decentralized breakthrough, Afro and Monma didn't know the causes of their other teammates' deaths. However, they both thought of the unknown person who had released the two large-scale En spheres.
Thus, both elders received the same reply.
[Ultra-large range En]
That was the only intelligence.
Then, the red light representing Afro's life suddenly extinguished.
It turned out Law saw Afro using a communication device and mercilessly struck, sweeping away Afro like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, instantly killing him.
Again, it was an ambush using ultra-fast speed, then a single strike to finish the enemy.
If Killua in [Godspeed] possessed 100% Enhancement-type ability, he could actually achieve this too, perhaps even better than Law.
When Afro's red light extinguished without warning, everyone present in the room was stunned.
The call wasn't even disconnected yet, but Afro had suddenly died.
Before the red light extinguished, they hadn't heard any unusual sounds. Only after the red light went out did they hear the communication device falling to the ground.
'A silent assassination technique...?'
The elder who reacted first immediately cut off the communication and activated the device's self-destruction program.
Elsewhere, Law glanced at the suddenly self-destructed communication device and Afro's corpse, heading straight toward the last target's location.
At that moment, Monma learned of Afro's sudden death and followed the elders' temporarily changed order… abandon the mission and escape the hospital as soon as possible.
'It must be that guy who released the En!'
Monma's heart grew heavy, realizing that the ultra-large range En was to find their locations and then kill them one by one.
'What an unreasonable confidence, even completely looking down on us. Only then would he dare release En without restraint, not worried we would be startled and flee.'
Thinking this, Monma drew a conclusion from this action: The guy releasing the En had extremely fast speed!
With this mental preparation, Monma used every ounce of strength, fleeing with all his might!
'Unlucky timing.'
While fleeing, Monma had a foreboding feeling.
'I was about to retire...'
Directly fleeing the inpatient building, relying on his keen sense of danger, Monma ran in the opposite direction from Law.
Helicopters still hovered in the night sky… it was foreseeable that the hospital's perimeter would be heavily guarded by police.
Monma didn't take these blockades seriously. As long as he could put over a thousand meters of distance, his escape chances would greatly increase.
Just then, a black cat with a slightly odd form blocked the path ahead.
Monma suddenly braked, his expression turning somewhat ugly.
Even a cat... gave him a sense of danger.
"Tsk tsk, a fish that slipped through the net."
Kuro looked at Monma, its silver eyes gleaming.
'Definitely not ordinary.'
Seeing Kuro speak human language, Monma quickly glanced at the environment around Kuro.
He didn't want to engage… he wanted to directly shake off the black cat.
"You can go. I don't kill old people," Kuro suddenly said.
Monma was instantly full of question marks and had an incongruous feeling, thinking Kuro's lines were a bit weird.
Actually, Kuro held a grudge against Law for that kick. How could it be kind enough to help Law block an enemy?
Monma didn't care whether Kuro's words were true or false. He was determined to escape, his foot moving, heading toward the right side of Kuro.
Kuro truly didn't move, letting Monma escape.
Unfortunately, Law's speed was faster. Even without Kuro's interception, he still intercepted Monma first.
"Are you an idiot?"
Law's first sentence after intercepting Monma was directed at Kuro watching the excitement.
"You're the idiot!"
Kuro sincerely retorted.
Law smiled at Kuro.
Seeing this, Kuro immediately shrank back, honestly replying, "My mistake."
Seeing Law and Kuro's exchange, how could Monma not understand their relationship?
'Damn it...'
Monma's hand trembled slightly as he picked up a slender cigarette and put it in his mouth.
Law no longer paid attention to Kuro. Looking at Monma's disguise and appearance, he calmly said, "You're the assassin Tonpa encountered on the rooftop, right?"
"Tonpa?"
Monma was puzzled at first but quickly thought of that disgustingly fat guy.
Fiercely shaking his head to dispel Tonpa's image, Monma stared at Law, gravely saying, "Did you kill all our people?"
"Sort of."
Law casually replied.
He didn't care if Blackstone knew about this.
The reason he didn't immediately strike at Monma was because he was considering something.
Should he leave a survivor?
If possible, regardless of whether the person who sent the assassins was Beyond, they could turn tonight's events into a huge mess and pin it on Pariston's head.
