Chapter 278 - Chapter 278: Kurapika in Danger, Group Mission

[Ding! The Chat Group has detected a mortal danger to Kurapika in the Hunter x Hunter World.]

[Do you wish to enable a Group Member Rescue Mission?]

Just as everyone was chatting idly in the Chat Group, Beryl suddenly saw a new message on her page.

"Is it a mission event?"

Kurapika is in danger?

That shouldn't be. He seemed to have said he was taking the Hunter Exam earlier.

Could it be the butterfly effect?

Beryl thought for a moment, then posted the task from the attachment page to the public chat, defaulting that when a Group Member encounters danger, a mission will be issued.

[Group Leader World's No. 1 Princess has enabled Mission Mutual Aid Mode.]

[Rescue Kurapika. Mission Reward: 2000 points. Number of participants: 2. Mission Guide…]

[Group Members who meet the strength requirements will see a golden button in their information bar. Clicking this button will allow them to enter the task selection mode.]

Within seconds of the public chat message appearing, several Group Members immediately clicked the golden button.

A moment later.

[Ding! Rescue Kurapika Mission, Kumoko, Uchiha Madara, successfully accepted. 2000 points will be awarded upon completion of the mission.]

"Hmm, it's not surprising that Uchiha Madara, who loves to fight, accepted the mission, but why is Shiraori joining in on the fun?" Beryl was a bit puzzled.

Even Aizen and Asakura Hao accepting the mission would be understandable, but Kumoko? Did Evil God D write 'eager to help others' into Kumoko's personality attributes?

This clearly looks like going to fight, with life and death at their own risk.

[Rimuru: "Eh? Kumoko, why are you going to save someone too?"]

[Kumoko: "I need points."]

While speaking, Kumoko and Uchiha Madara had already been teleported to the Hunter x Hunter World.

[Kumoko: "Um, should I start a live stream?"]

[Rimuru: "Yes, yes, yes… It seems Kumoko's way of speaking has changed again."]

[Kumoko: "…"]

[Ding! Kumoko has started a live stream. Current world: Hunter x Hunter World.]

The live stream showed Kurapika being held by the neck by a tall, perverted individual who somewhat resembled a clown.

Kurapika's face was pale, and he seemed to have already passed out.

[Uchiha Sasuke: "Is Kurapika alright?"]

Uchiha Sasuke was a bit worried about Kurapika's condition.

He and Kurapika joined the Chat Group at the same time, belonging to the same unfortunate group of orphans whose clans were exterminated, and whose enemies' goals were also for their eyes.

Therefore, as fellow young men whose clans were annihilated, Sasuke and Kurapika had quite a lot in common.

[Kumoko: "There's still a life force. I'm going to save him now."]

The sudden appearance of Kumoko caught Hisoka's attention.

Around Hisoka lay Leorio, Gon, and Killua.

They had not lost consciousness, but Kurapika had completely lost consciousness.

Beryl looked at the live stream and made a deduction.

"Did Hisoka's identity as a Phantom Troupe member make Kurapika lose his mind?"

In that case, the original plot can no longer be used as a reference.

Hisoka seemed to be planning to kill Kurapika.

"Who are you?"

Hisoka became interested in the girl with the three braids who suddenly appeared.

Someone could appear so close without him noticing, which couldn't help but excite him.

"Please let him go."

Shiraori still had her eyes closed, her tone serene.

"Oh, you want this child?" Although Hisoka said that, he had no intention of letting go of Kurapika. Instead, he tightened his grip on Kurapika's neck slightly, seemingly wanting to provoke the girl in front of him.

Suddenly, Hisoka felt a chill down his spine.

He released his grip on Kurapika and then leaped away from his spot.

However, Hisoka was still a step too slow.

"Pfft—"

A spray of crimson blood dispersed into the air.

Hisoka's right arm exploded, turning into a mist of blood.

Hisoka, who had dodged far away, clutched his bleeding shoulder with one hand. The playful expression on his face had completely vanished, and a drop of cold sweat slowly trickled down his forehead.

It was so close! If he had been even half a second slower just now, not only his arm, but perhaps his entire body would have exploded like his shoulder.

"What kind of Nen ability is this!?"

There shouldn't be anyone with such power among the examinees. No, she's not an examinee at all.

Shiraori walked to Kurapika's side and casually set up a magic circle on the ground.

"Hmm… repulsion?"

As a god, Shiraori could faintly perceive the repulsion from the laws, but this slight effect was nothing.

If it were a battle of equal strength, it might be more critical, but restoring a person's injuries was not much of a problem.

Not long after, under the magic circle's restoration, Kurapika opened his eyes and got up from the ground.

"What is this…?"

"Group mission, came to help you." Shiraori simply uttered a few words.

"This… I see. Thank you very much." Kurapika clasped his hands together in gratitude.

Kurapika was also very apologetic about what had happened earlier. If he hadn't exposed his Nen, he probably wouldn't have attracted Hisoka's attention.

The Phantom Troupe was indeed an enemy he couldn't handle right now.

This was the difference between learning Nen with a teacher and without one.

Kurapika's Nen was mostly self-taught, a so-called rogue style.

He was no match for Hisoka at all.

"Specialist type, huh…" Hisoka frowned, sizing up the girl.

Danger. His beastly instincts made Hisoka feel that this strange white-haired girl was extremely dangerous.

Her danger level even surpassed that of the Phantom Troupe's leader.

At this moment, a spatial fluctuation occurred.

A young man in red armor appeared where Shiraori had just been.

He stood with his arms crossed, watching Hisoka.

"Brat, bullying our junior in the group, who gave you the guts?" Uchiha Madara said coldly.

As a Group Administrator, an existence second only to one and above all others, how could he tolerate an outsider daring to mess with them?

If he could tolerate everything, then he wouldn't be Uchiha Madara, but Senju Hashirama.

"Don't make a big fuss. Just bring him to the exam venue, and the mission will be complete." Shiraori reminded him.

"Kumoko, are you really socially anxious, as Rimuru said?"

Uchiha Madara glanced at Shiraori out of the corner of his eye.

With that way of speaking, if one didn't know it was her, they would think it was someone else.

Shiraori: "…"

Whether I'm socially anxious or not, what does it have to do with you guys?!

Just finish the job quickly and get out of here. I want points, I'm not here to fight.

[Uchiha Madara: "@World's No. 1 Princess, is there a time limit for the mission?"]

[World's No. 1 Princess: "One day. When the time is up, whether you complete the mission or not, you will be teleported back. If the mission fails, you will be deducted half of the points from the successful mission reward."]

[Uchiha Madara: "That's enough time. It's a good warm-up before fighting Uchiha Sasuke."]

[Uchiha Madara: "I remember this is called the Hunter Exam. Are there any powerful individual here?"]

[World's No. 1 Princess: "That depends on how you define it. Netero, the Chairman of the Hunter Association, should be considered the strongest Nen user in the Hunter World on the surface."]

[Asakura Hao: "@Uchiha Madara, your hands are itching again. Don't get beaten so badly your own mother wouldn't recognize you."]

[Uchiha Madara: "I'm not a mama's boy like you, who needs his mom to recognize him."]

Uchiha Madara immediately shot back.

That 'mama's boy' comment almost made the usually well-mannered Asakura Hao lose his temper.

[Asakura Hao: "You, Senju Hashirama's bottom, what right do you have to talk about me like that?"]

[Uchiha Madara: "Asakura Hao, you son of a b*tch!"]

Beryl was quite speechless watching Uchiha Madara and Asakura Hao argue on the Chat Group's public screen.

What kind of strange things did these protagonists from modern society teach them?

Without a doubt, these words were either taught by Kumoko or Rimuru.

Of course, it could also be a certain Eru.

[Kumoko: "@Uchiha Madara, someone is approaching this way. Their strength is very high. It's highly likely that the Hunter Association has discovered us."]

[Uchiha Madara: "Hmph, just in time. This guy Hisoka seems strong, but with one arm gone, I completely lose the desire to make a move."]
