The ghosts didn't have any substantial damage, but the eerie mist that swept over could block the way, and obscure the surrounding environment.
It made Saiyu, whose consciousness was already a bit scattered, lose his direction.
"Get out of here!"
"All of you, get out of here!"
The carotid artery had been cut open, but he could still make a sound, and his flesh and blood had strong vitality.
Saiyu scolded lightly, and waved his long staff to scatter the ghosts that were floating over.
His vision was a bit dark... And his limbs were exhausted.
He had lost too much blood.
He had to quickly find the comrades who had landed on the island, the experts sent by Beyond.
The time before and after his fight with Oboro was very short, and he hadn't been able to hold him back...
However, even if Beyond's people arrived in time, Saiyu understood now that it would be useless. He had seen some of Oboro's trump cards, but they might not be all of them.
The most urgent thing was to quickly leave this island, and pass the message out.
If all else failed, he had to notify the others to escape as soon as possible... And relay Oboro's details to Beyond.
In a daze, he seemed to hear the ghosts floating beside him mocking him... One ghost after another, like clouds, hovered nearby, and roared at him, or screamed in his ears.
It made him, who was already seriously injured, become even more labored, and unable to move an inch.
The wound on his neck left a conspicuous bloodstain on the path he was fleeing.
"Get... Out..."
After running for a while while resisting the mental attack of the ghost souls, Saiyu weakly waved his weapon, drove away the diffused ghostly green smoke, and opened his mouth weakly.
He found that his voice was very weak, and the vitality in his body was almost lost... He seemed to be about to die.
Then, with a thud, he couldn't even hold the staff, and let the weapon fall to the ground.
He couldn't shake it off... He couldn't shake off the area filled with this ghostly mist.
The speed at which the mist spread was faster than he had expected... And the area it covered was also very large.
Thump.
Saiyu knelt on both knees, propped up his body with one hand on the ground, and still held the wound that was bleeding non-stop with the other hand... His face was already as pale as paper.
He had a clear understanding of his current state.
He was dying!
"I shouldn't have come... I didn't think clearly enough that he could make Ging and Pariston feel threatened, which was enough to prove his degree of danger! Even if it was Beyond's order, I could have refused it early on... No wonder he's going to the Dark Continent... There's no reason for this kind of person to stay in the human world."
After only persisting for half a minute, Saiyu fell to the ground, his body temperature began to drop, and he felt a chill.
Surrounding him were a group of ghosts flying in the air... Hovering, and quietly watching his death.
As if they were welcoming him, this new member who was about to join them.
"Pariston!"
Saiyu's mind was filled with a smiling face.
He and Beyond could be said to have a subordinate relationship, but he had no contact with Pariston.
The so-called cooperation was just a matter between Beyond and Pariston. Within the Association, he was still acting independently as a Zodiac... All his actions followed his own will.
To put it bluntly, he could deal with Pariston together with Yorkshire and the others, and it wouldn't be a problem.
But as long as Beyond spoke, he had to do it.
He had been played.
Pariston wanted to get rid of Oboro, and of course he wouldn't do it himself, so he had looked for Beyond... That guy had used the same purpose and characteristics that Oboro had as Beyond to persuade his boss.
In other words, Pariston had already guessed that Beyond would send himself to make a move... After all, given Beyond's situation, he had no way to directly find Oboro to communicate.
Overt communication wasn't possible either.
And Gel...
Even Yorkshire's arrangements had been calculated by Pariston...
Even if they didn't end up dealing with Oboro, and even including his own death, it was something that Pariston could foresee.
With another Zodiac around, he could also convict Oboro, the executioner, and at least make it impossible for Oboro to stay in the Association...
Oboro couldn't possibly kill the Snake Zodiac, Gel, too... If two Zodiacs died violently, Oboro would definitely be considered the murderer.
But Beyond and Pariston wouldn't have thought of how terrifying Oboro's true level was.
This man could kill him in a very short period of time without being seen by any bystanders.
Once he died, Pariston would also get the information he wanted, and could at least further determine the degree of danger of Oboro...
In short, no matter which aspect you looked at it from, Pariston would get the 'result' he wanted without paying any price.
It was perfect.
He would only profit and not lose.
The only one who was sacrificed was himself...
Saiyu had figured it out.
But it was too late...
At this time, the sound of footsteps approached.
Oboro put his hands in his pockets, and walked unhurriedly towards Saiyu, who was lying on the ground.
"Can... Can I ask you... For a favor?" Saiyu already knew what his ending would be, and looked at the man standing beside him in a voice as thin as a mosquito.
"Don't worry, I'll let him accompany you."
He didn't even need to say it, and Oboro seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and echoed.
"Thank you."
Hearing this, Saiyu actually... Revealed a smile.
Whoosh.
Oboro flicked his hand, the air was split, and the smooth attack instantly separated Saiyu's head from his neck.
A mass of soul energy and black mist rose from the corpse one after another, and was absorbed by Oboro.
Then, Oboro walked over the body of this Zodiac with a blank expression, and walked towards the distance.
Pariston had long been on Oboro's death list. It was just that he didn't want to cross this person out now.
Because... The other party still had value.
When Netero abdicated, and the position of Chairman was vacated... After this incident, and Saiyu's death.
Based on his understanding of Pariston, if nothing unexpected happened, this guy would definitely recommend himself to take over the position.
As for the reason... Hehe.
And the Zodiacs, led by Ging, would definitely stand on the opposing camp.
If he didn't have Pariston's help, and relied on himself alone, it would probably be difficult to sit firmly in the position of Chairman of the Hunter Association...
Ging Freecss would definitely not let him succeed. Although he knew that Pariston was playing some tricks, at least in the position of Chairman, he was of some help to him.
It wouldn't be too late to harvest his life later.
Oboro strolled on the island, looking for the location of his other teammates.
He didn't expect that before he met Menchi and the others, he would run into a strange face.
The other party was wearing a special combat uniform, and his muscles were knotted all over his body, and he was extremely burly.
He was running wildly all the way.
After seeing him, he stopped in his tracks instantly, and his face was full of vigilance.
"Oboro?"
The man narrowed his eyes.
Their target for this trip!
However, why was Oboro appearing alone?
Where was Saiyu of the Zodiacs?
Since they weren't together, it meant that the cooperation had broken down... He couldn't let the target leave alive.
With this thought in mind, the man's heart was set, and he suddenly erupted with a powerful Nen ability.
This person hadn't hidden his figure, so he and Oboro had discovered each other at the first moment.
However, what made the man feel strange was that Oboro had obviously seen him, but he seemed to treat him as air, and there wasn't a single fluctuation in his expression, and he didn't mean to greet him or ask him.
It was as if he was a stone on the side of the road... And not a living person.
He had released his killing intent... And had struck a fighting pose!
The man spread out his hands, and circles of spiked iron rings appeared on his two arms, which were as thick as an ordinary person's thighs. It was an extremely special Conjuration-type equipment.
Oboro remained unmoved, and didn't even look at him directly.
Boom!
The soil on the ground exploded, leaving a pit.
The man was shaped like a tiger out of its cage, and charged over with a awe-inspiring ferocity and speed.
Just as he jumped up...
He saw Oboro flick his arm that was in his pocket, like a sharp blade out of its sheath, tearing through the aura, and flashing an afterimage.
Immediately after, he quickly sheathed it, and put it back in his pocket.
Immediately after, the human body in mid-air was dismembered alive, and torn into several pieces of minced meat that landed on the ground.
Besides the gorgeous splashing blood, there were also the scattered organs...
It was over in one exchange.
From beginning to end, Oboro's breathing and footsteps hadn't been affected. He hadn't even seen this person's appearance clearly... He didn't have the mind to look.
He walked over the ground that had been soaked in blood, and wisps of thin mist like ribbons overflowed from his body, rolled up the fallen soul, and gradually walked away.
