Chapter 548 ( Beyond - II )
"Ok, age did catch up with you, old man" - said Beyond while shaking his head - "Wasn't this your dream?"
"Yes, but the way I am, I don't think I can go on, I've lost a lot of myself over the years" - Netero repeated while shaking his head - "That's why I was thinking of giving you my dream."
Beyond was silent for a few seconds as he closed his eyes.
Cloud and the others were silently watching the interaction of the two men, curious about Netero's son's response.
"I understand, if that's what you've decided, I'm no one to stop you" - Beyond sighed as he gave his father one last look before turning around and walking towards the destroyed entrance - "I'm going to fulfill your dream, after all, it's mine as well"
"Thank you, son" - Isaac smiled as he watched his son disappear - "Remember that the [Association] is organizing a new trip, it will start in a month."
"I know, I have already been informed, after all, I am one of the few survivors who have managed to return alive from that hellish place" - replied Beyond before leaving.
"The dark continent, is it dangerous?" - Kyōka asked while raising an eyebrow.
"Truth be told, it's an unexplored territory, one that we don't know the hundreds of dangers that may exist" - answered Netero while frowning - "The problem is that the dangers that we have managed to detect, are so serious that they could cause the extinction of the human race as we know it."
"Oh?" - Kyōka was surprised when she heard this as the group waited for her to continue, even Menchi was curious about all this.
"Let's start with the simplest, but not the least lethal" - Netero said as he looked around - "You guys know about the [Nitro Rice]?"
"You mean the rice that is said to be able to extend the life of whoever consumes it?" - Menchi asked with surprise.
"That's right, I'm talking about it" - Isaac Netero answered as he pulled his beard and looked out the window - "During my youth, I went with a member of the Zoldyck family to the dark continent, there we discovered this strange rice and ate it, that not only made us feel full of life, but it made our Nen much purer. When we returned to this continent and had a medical checkup to make sure we were okay, we discovered that our cells had rejuvenated and we were aging much slower than normal"
"Interesting" - Cloud muttered as he squinted his eyes because this would be a good ingredient to take back home.
"Anyway, when we found the rice, we also encountered a strange snake-like creature" - Isaac continued as he sighed regretfully at those memories - "In fact, that thing was responsible for me entering the monastery so that I could find inner peace"
"Was it that strange creature?" - Cloud asked as he stroked his chin.
"Yes, she had a split tail that resembled a bell, which is why, we called her [Hellbell]" - Isaac Netero replied as he frowned as he remembered that strange creature - "I don't know how, but that thing had the ability to cause a murderous impulse to everyone near it, that caused the whole group that was with us, to end up attacking each other."
Kyōka fell silent as Kyoko and Menchi's faces paled.
"Maybe it used a sonic wave imperceptible to the human ear?" - Kurama asked while stroking his chin.
"It's possible, in fact, I find the shape of its tail strange to this day" - answered Netero while shaking his head.
"I am now interested by that thing, or rather, the [Nitro Rice]" - Cloud said while mumbling almost unreadable things.
"Well, I guess we could go, I still remember where the [Nitro Rice] was." - Netero replied while shaking his head.
"I guess we'll go there after we sort some things out" - Cloud mentioned while shaking his head.
"Cloud?" - Kyoko asked with a frown.
"Sorry, I was thinking about something, but I guess this will be for another time" - Cloud replied as he shook his head.
* * * * *
Two hours later, Cloud and the others were leaving Netero's office after a long conversation.
"I guess it's time for us to finish with our last mission" - Cloud declared as he walked towards an alley after hearing how someone called for help.
"Finally" - sighed Kyōka as she let out a laugh because even though it didn't seem that long, and it didn't compare at all to the years Cloud was in the old dimension, she wished to return home.
Menchi listened to this in confusion as she looked around for an answer.
"I promise I'll explain everything when we get to the hotel," Cloud replied as he walked over to where what appeared to be a rapist stood.
The man gave the blond a glance at him, only to gawk at the three beauties following him.
Quickly, he tossed the woman he was trying to rape and looked with interest at the most beautiful specimens of women he had ever seen in his entire life.
"Is this a tribute, or a gift from god?" - The man asked lustfully - "Or simply an acknowledgement of all I have done?"
"Maybe it's a punishment for your sins" - replied Menchi with disgust.
She didn't know what was going on, but if it had to do with this bastard, then they had better finish quickly to go home.
"Punishment?" - repeated the confused man, only to remember a small detail, a piece of information that was roaming the streets even though the people these rumors were talking about, had disappeared from the city for quite some time - "You"
"Nice to meet you, I'm the head hunter, it's a pleasure to inform you that you will be my 1000th prey" - cloud smiled as he watched the man pale.
The woman who was about to be raped, saw her savior and blushed as she recognized him - "Is that you?"
"¿?" - Cloud looked at the woman confused, though after getting a good look at her, he recognized her immediately - "The tour guide? What are you doing here?"
The woman was about to answer, when she remembered the situation she was in, so she burst into tears.
"Cloud, a little tact, she almost got raped" - Kyoko said with a frown because that was not a nice destination.
Coco Loo could only let out a sigh of relief as tears ran down her cheeks seeing that she had managed to save herself from this horrible fate, and all thanks to the help of the man she never thought she would see again together with her group of beautiful girls.
Cloud shook his head before focusing again on the rapist, who was lying unconscious on the ground thanks to the blond's passive aura.
Without a second thought, Cloud cut off his head and burned the body.
[World mission has been completed, please finish all preparations before 24 hours].
Cloud looked at the bastard before shaking his head and mentioning to them to keep the victim while he took care of the rest.
Kyōka nodded as he took the girl and told her to follow.
Coco Loo was still confused, but she still followed the blue-haired woman because she knew that her fate couldn't end up being any worse than it would have been if they hadn't shown up.
* * *
Thirty minutes later, Cloud was walking back to his hotel room.
When he entered, he saw how Coco was sitting on the couch with a vacant look on her face.
Kyōka explained to him that she was still in shock, so Cloud decided not to approach for now because he knew that the woman didn't want any man around, even the one who had saved her.
Menchi was on the balcony of the room, looking at the sky because Kyōka had secretly explained her situation to her.
She now understood many things about her traveling companions, among them, why they acted as if they were just carefree travelers touring the world for the past few months.
"I guess it was Kyōka who informed you" - Cloud said as he saw how the light blue-haired woman was digesting a huge amount of information.
"You were going to recruit me?" - Menchi asked as she looked at the blond who had just arrived - "For what reason were you going to do it? Is it because I'm your type?"
Menchi was confused.
He approached her with this motive, and if so, how would she have to answer him?
"I think you're forgetting something, Menchi-san" - Cloud replied as he walked beside her - "I wasn't the one who approached you, you were the one who approached me."
Menchi opened her mouth when she heard this as she nodded weakly.
Cloud wasn't lying, she was the one who decided to follow them after receiving Netero's orders, months ago.
"As for whether you're my type, well, that's not necessarily a condition for recruiting you" - Cloud replied as he looked carefully at the girl - "You're beautiful, there's no doubt about that, and your skills are no slouch, but I wasn't going to recruit you just for such superficial reasons, because if I were, I would have gone straight to the most beautiful women in the world, right?"
