"Young Master Illumi!?"
The security guard 'froze' for a mont, seemingly wanting to continue his act.
Riku, however, shook his head. Since the other party hid their identity when giving him the business card, there was no need for him to be too polite.
He directly waved his hand.
Boom—
The old security guard was sent flying backward, heavily crashing into the stone door beside him, his expression one of sheer horror.
He never dread... he was here playing the pig to eat the tiger, but unexpectedly turned into a real pig.
[Ding! You defeated the old security guard Harada, 10% chance to automatically copy...]
[Ding! Copy successful, congratulations on obtaining [Combat] (Blue)]
A voice like heavenly music rang out in Riku's mind.
Instantly, so mories regarding the old man's physical training in his youth flooded into Riku's mind, along with so close-quarters combat knowledge.
For Riku, this was just icing on the cake, because the old man's own strength wasn't that great.
But none of that mattered. No one would ever complain about having too many traits. Excess traits could also be converted into EXP.
"Let's go, we will enter from here."
Riku paused for a mont, glanced at the direction where the burly man had just died, and chose this small door.
He naturally could easily push open the Testing Gate, but compared to that, he wanted to go see the Zoldyck family's watchdog.
A creature that could serve as a watchdog was absolutely no simple, ordinary magical beast.
In his past life, he had heard a rumor that this thing might have been smuggled over from the Dark Continent. He might even be able to farm biological traits from the Dark Continent!
Furthermore. A vicious dog hurting people—he was eliminating a public nace.
"Uh... Riku-nii, t-that old grandpa... and there are monsters behind this door..."
"He is fine, I controlled my strength. Let's go."
Riku waved his hand and strode directly inside.
Gon-kun and the others did not hesitate and followed along. Only then did the old security guard, who had been blasted flat against the wall, drop down. Trembling and shivering, he took out his senior citizen cell phone, dialed a number, and said with a trembling voice:
"The enemies Young Master Illumi ntioned, they... they have broken in!!"
...
Behind the Testing Gate, because they didn't take the normal path, imdiately after entering the small door was a dense sea of trees!
The trees here were surprisingly massive. Lush and verdant, blocking out the sky and the sun.
Right now, there were still so bloodstains and minced at remaining on the ground, clearly left behind by the unlucky bastard from earlier.
"Riku-nii, it's the presence of a magical beast, we need to be careful! Judging from the paw we saw earlier, it's probably a giant magical beast!" Kurapika analyzed.
Leorio looked around even more nervously, ready to handle a crisis at any mont.
Although all four of them were Pro Hunters now, in reality... Leorio was probably the weakest. Coupled with the fact that he hadn't awakened Nen abilities, he could only be said to be a tiny bit stronger than ordinary people. But no matter how strong he was, he was absolutely no match for that kind of behemoth.
But surprisingly, the four of them walked for a long ti without seeing the so-called magical beast.
Finally, when they reached an open area, everyone stopped in their tracks.
To be precise. It was because they heard a heaven-shaking snoring sound.
A gargantuan magical beast hound, as large as a small mountain, appeared before everyone. This guy was currently lying on the ground dozing off. The corner of its mouth was grinding its teeth on the thigh of the unlucky bastard from earlier, and the snoring sound was coming from it.
Its massive body completely blocked the path moving forward.
"So big! This guy is bigger than all the magical beasts we have seen. Those Great Stamp swine wouldn't even reach the height of its paws!"
"Why don't we go around it? Let's not startle this monster..."
"It feels so dangerous!"
Gon-kun and the others were incredibly nervous, preparing to tiptoe around it. At least, in everyone's eyes, this big guy in front of them was extrely dangerous.
But just as they started moving, the vicious dog, which was clearly asleep, suddenly struck.
Riiiip— Boom—
A massive paw swept over like an excavator's shovel, plowing several deep trenches into the ground. Just as it was about to grab Gon-kun and the others, a figure blocked it.
It was shockingly Riku, who threw a punch. A tiny fist and a massive dog paw were completely out of proportion, yet they were bizarrely locked in a stalemate.
Na: Vicious Dog Mike Traits: [Black - Massive Creature] (Gold), [Monstrous Strength] (Gold), [Super Five Senses] (Gold), [Intelligence] (Blue), [Lethargy] (Blue), [Gluttony] (Blue), etc.
Trait: [Black - Massive Creature] (This species is a pan-Asian species from the outer edges of the Dark Continent, possessing powerful genes far exceeding ordinary magical beasts. This trait grants the creature a Dark Continent genetic source, accompanied by a certain deterrent and oppressive effect.)
...
Tsk, tsk, tsk!!
This was absolutely considered picking up a little treasure!
This thing actually really ca from the Dark Continent. Though of course, it might just be from a transitional zone, equivalent to a mixed-blood creature in a gray area, belonging to a pan-subspecies.
But even so, the traits on this guy's body could be considered dazzlingly magnificent!
Three Golds, and the rest all Blues!
But thinking about it, it makes sense. To be used as a watchdog by this top-tier assassination family, its own strength is naturally beyond doubt. At least ninety percent of troubles would be blocked by this guy.
Ordinary powerhouses and even Pro Hunters are no match for this thing.
Perception, attack power, and neural reaction speed are all incredibly strong!
"It is a rather troubleso guy. You guys leave here first, I will deal with it!" Riku instructed.
"But Riku-nii..."
Gon-kun wanted to help, but was directly dragged away by Kurapika and Leorio.
"We will only be a hindrance here. This guy is too massive, we are absolutely no match for it."
"With such a massive body, ordinary attacks won't be effective at all!!"
Kurapika and Leorio explained as they dragged him.
They understood that staying here would absolutely only be a hindrance, making it impossible for Riku to focus on fighting.
Roar, roar, roar, roar, roar—
The giant wolfhound that was fast asleep just a second ago had now fully awakened. When this guy stood up, it was absolutely as tall as a 5-story building.
To the point where ordinary people had to look up at it.
Moreover, the saliva dripping down from this giant wolfhound's ferocious sharp teeth was simply like a faucet that forgot to be turned off.
Right now, it also possessed a certain level of intelligence, knowing that this guy in front of it was the toughest bone that needed to be gnawed down the most.
Inside the Zoldyck family manor.
"Sir... the people the Young Master instructed about have arrived at the foot of our mountain and have now trespassed into Mike's territory. Should we consider saving them? After all... they are all Pro Hunters."
A male servant in a black suit said in a deep voice.
The man wearing black-rimd glasses, dressed in a crisp black suit, with a ticulous face—the Zoldyck family's head butler, Gotoh, was silent for two seconds before finally speaking slowly.
"There is no need for now. They are the people Young Master Illumi designated."
After saying that, Gotoh furrowed his brows tightly, rubbed them, and sighed softly.
Young Master Illumi had returned, and he had returned injured. This was a massive event within the Zoldyck family. I am afraid... the days ahead are not going to be peaceful.
