Chapter 47: The Protagonist’s Darkness

Chapter 47 The Protagonist’s Darkness

The nation Kite and the remainder had been situated in was subsequent to the identical NGL they’d gone to to be able to verify for the presence of Chimera Ants. Contemplating the truth that he had simply been advised that Kite was in horrible situation, Ray did not should ask in the event that they discovered them.

That very same nation was additionally virtually adjoining to his present location, situated a brief airplane experience away. Regardless of being a horrible place to dwell, the nation itself was very open to vacationers with cash, so it was fast and straightforward to move to the airport and arrive inside a number of hours of the decision.

As for the Resort he left, Rayleigh was shocked that the reconstruction would solely take 4 months after all of the hijinks the Gamers obtained into. Greater than half his financial savings of a number of Billion was gone to pay for the damages, however he did not care about cash, so it did not matter. A minimum of the Gamers did not kill anybody throughout their keep and the Hospital charges of the survivors weren’t too dangerous since all of the victims had insurance coverage.

It was an excellent instance of what would occur if a big group of Gamers obtained collectively in the identical location and stayed there for 2 months. A minimum of Rayleigh wasn’t charged for something they did within the metropolis itself since they by no means obtained caught by the authorities and many of the fires had ultimately been put out.

The airport he landed in was fancy in all of the improper locations which emphasised the place the rulers wished the eye of others to be positioned. A cab experience led him to the place his mates had been and 4 different Hunters had been amongst them.

Earlier than Rayleigh might even introduce himself to the others, Gon shouted, “Ray! It’s a must to assist Kite!”

Rayleigh’s empathy might sense a storm of feelings from Gon, with the hope being the strongest because it tried to outshine the despair, guilt, and anger inside his buddy’s coronary heart.

Rayleigh doubted he’d get a narrative out of Gon at this level so he replied, “Present the way in which, I will see what I can do.”

One of many youthful Hunters from the 4 with Gon and Killua requested gruffly, “Hey, are you actually all that good at therapeutic?”

Rayleigh shrugged however did not reply. It wasn’t like saying sure or no would cease Gon from taking him to Kite, however the younger Hunter with the pompadour gritted his tooth on the brush off. Solely a hand on his shoulder from one other Hunter, one who gave the impression to be lacking an arm, calmed him down.

The older two Hunters watched this alternate with curiosity earlier than main the group right into a constructing with some underground buildings.

After passing by a number of halls, they noticed Kite, or not less than, a Frankenstein model of the sewn-together items of Kite.

It appeared to breathe and transfer, however Rayleigh might inform that it was not alive. A fast use of Gy revealed a set of strings linked to the corpse that rose to the fingers of an invisible puppeteer-like assemble.

The corpse puppet appear to have all its aura nodes closed, so it was incapable of utilizing aura and will solely transfer utilizing the instincts and muscle reminiscence of the nerves of the physique.

Rayleigh shook his head. When Gon advised him that Kite was in horrible situation, Ray did not suppose he meant he was useless. Ray wasn’t a god. Darkish Switch might deliver the useless to life beneath the precise circumstances, however the time of dying needed to be actually latest and the accidents could not be too horrible.

The very first thing Rayleigh did was soar as much as the assemble puppeteering Kite’s corpse and faucet on a shatterpoint whereas forcing an enormous surge of the Power into it. As anticipated, the assemble shattered and Kite’s corpse fell limp to the bottom.

Gon shouted, “Kite!” and ran over, however Rayleigh ignored him and positioned his hand on the corpse’s head. It was nonetheless respiration, however that will finish in a number of moments because the puppeteer’s aura left the physique and the manipulation ended.

Seeing that Rayleigh was nonetheless holding Kite, Gon requested, “Are you able to save him?”

Killua quietly acknowledged, “Shush, he is doing one thing.”

Rayleigh was actually doing one thing. He was utilizing Psychometry. When used on a residing individual, he might sense that individual’s situation and standing. A corpse although was thought-about an object, so Rayleigh might use it to see Kite’s previous. He watched what occurred backward. He noticed the puppet getting used to spar in opposition to Chimera Ants, instructing them easy methods to combat. He noticed the corpse getting sewn again collectively utilizing the Nen capacity of some cat-girl chimera ant that had a repulsive, sickeningly darkish aura. He noticed Kite combat in opposition to the identical Chimera Ant and use all of his tips and abilities earlier than he was shredded to items. He noticed the chimera ant’s first assault from an enormous distance away that took Kite’s arm as he shouted at Gon and Killua to run.

Rayleigh backtracked Kite’s steps for a number of minutes. Kite was a really expert Hunter and studying from his previous could be helpful for Rayleigh as properly.

Ultimately, the Kite corpse stopped shifting and Rayleigh set it to the facet.

Gon noticed Kite wasn’t shifting as he was laid down and requested, pitifully, “Ray, why aren’t you therapeutic Kite?”

Fairly than deal with such a ridiculous query like why he was incapable of bringing again the useless, Rayleigh seemed over to Killua and mentioned, “I requested you to take care of Gon and ensure he did not get any extra head accidents. I applaud the truth that you stopped him from combating that ant, however did you must purpose for the pinnacle?” New novel chapters are revealed on

One of many older Hunters, the one with shoulder-length hair, sun shades, and a really broad body requested, “How do you know about that?”

Rayleigh replied, “I can see into the previous of objects I contact or the well being standing of residing beings I contact.”

It did not take a genius to determine that Rayleigh referred to the corpse as an object, not a residing being.

Even Gon might determine it out, and as he did, the final mild of hope was snuffed out, and every part inside him was engulfed in darkness.

Gon, Rayleigh, and Killua left the underground construction in order that Killua might inform Ray every part that occurred whereas the opposite Hunters handled Kite’s corpse.

Throughout and even after Killua completed the story, Gon stayed quiet as he wallowed in his guilt and remorse.

Rayleigh obtained Gon’s consideration and requested, “Gon, what do you intend to do?”

Gon remained silent for a second earlier than answering, “I will avenge Kite.”

Rayleigh sighed. This considerably defined the imaginative and prescient he had. Since Gon was the MC, Rayleigh couldn’t precisely see his future, however that did not imply he would not get the occasional Power Imaginative and prescient. What he noticed when he heard about Kite was a picture of Gon being engulfed in darkness and vanishing fully.

After all, Rayleigh had no probability to speak Gon out of his quest for revenge. Rayleigh doubted Grandmaster Yoda might speak Gon out of his quest for revenge.

Nonetheless, Rayleigh was fairly sure that Gon was a Shonen Protagonist, the identical form as Yusuke and Ichigo, so he simply needed to communicate to Gon utilizing the language of Shonen Protagonists. It was time for a beatdown.

Rayleigh positioned one hand on Gon’s arm and the opposite on the highest of a small devil-cat like factor on Gon’s shoulder. In accordance with Killua’s story, this was an Imposed Nen from Knuckle, the Hunter with the pompadour. It had the impact of forcing Gon right into a state of Zetsu for a month and was indestructible with out somebody who might take away Nen.

From what Rayleigh might inform when he used Psychometry, it labored by injecting the sufferer with the person’s Emitter attribute aura till extra aura had been injected than the sufferer had. Then the Manipulator attribute aura combined with the Emitter attribute aura manipulated the physique into utilizing Zetsu, which closed all of the aura nodes and prevented the person’s overseas aura from leaving the physique for a very long time.

After understanding the mechanism, Rayleigh took one in every of Gon’s fingers and made a tiny blade of aura earlier than utilizing it to chop Gon’s finger to attract blood. Rayleigh then used his management of the Power to regulate the small quantity of Power inside Gon’s physique and use it to drive out the overseas aura that was nonetheless held inside by the finger wound utilizing a variation of Power Therapeutic.

It took a couple of minutes, however as soon as it was all out, Rayleigh tapped on the little devil-cat factor and used Shatterpoint to destroy it. The situation of the devil-cat to exist was, ‘the person’s aura was inside the goal and it had been lower than 30 days since activation.’ The previous normally would not be an issue because the goal was compelled into Zetsu which prevented all its aura from leaving the physique, however Rayleigh ended that situation by using the Power.

With the destruction of the little devil-cat, Gon’s aura was launched, and for the primary time shortly, he was pleasantly shocked. He had been beneath the impression that he could be unable to make use of his aura for one more few weeks.

Killua was additionally shocked as he watched this whole course of from the facet. If eradicating that factor was simple, the Hunters from earlier than would have finished it.

Rayleigh and Killua sighed. Each knew this could occur. Fairly than argue, Rayleigh mentioned, “High quality, so you understand you may in all probability die or worse. You do not care within the slightest. And also you’re gonna avenge Kite it doesn’t matter what, does that sound about proper?”

Gon nodded with a darkish dedication filling his hole eyes.

Rayleigh continued, “High quality. I will not cease you. You simply should do one factor. It is very easy and will not require any effort. You can even do it proper now, it’ll solely take a couple of minutes.”

Gon’s eyes widened in shock earlier than he answered, “Okay, what do I must do?”

Rayleigh obtained out a bit of paper and wrote a number of strains of textual content down. He then wrote a cellphone quantity on the highest of the paper. Rayleigh held up the sheet and mentioned, “It is actually easy. Simply name the quantity on the highest of this paper and inform the individual on the opposite facet every part right here.”

Gon nodded and took the paper. The shock on his face was horror when he noticed the cellphone quantity. It was his aunt Mito’s. That horror solely grew worse as he learn the strains he was imagined to say over the decision.

-What will occur to me shouldn’t be your fault.

-The selection I made doesn’t replicate the way you raised me.

-What is going to occur to me couldn’t have been prevented in the event you raised me higher.

-Being harsher, stricter, or meaner wouldn’t have stopped me.

-Don’t suppose I did this since you didn’t love me sufficient.

-Please don’t blame your self for my selections. I am sorry for being such an fool.

-Please forgive me for making you harm a lot.

Though it was only some strains, Gon might solely learn them slowly, as each tore by his coronary heart. Rayleigh was mainly telling him to apologize for hurting Mito together with his personal silly actions earlier than he dedicated them. Gon’s cheeks had been moist with tears by the tip of the checklist and he was holding again his unsteady breath.

Rayleigh twisted the knife. “If you wish to participate on this, you must persuade your aunt why it is your responsibility as a thirteen-year-old Hunter to avenge a veteran Professional Hunter who was your father’s pupil.”

Gon could not take a look at the paper anymore and threw it away whereas attempting to argue, “But it surely’s my fault! It is my fault Kite’s useless! If I wasn’t there. If I wasn’t so weak! If I did not maintain him again… It is my fault! I’ve to avenge him!”

Rayleigh did not shout. He merely replied in a peaceful voice, “I noticed every part Gon. You being there or not being there would have modified nothing. Kite accepted the job himself. With or with out you he would have been there. He would have encountered that ant. He would have been killed. Your presence did not trigger something.”

Seeing that his phrases weren’t attending to him, Rayleigh grabbed Gon’s shirt and shouted into his face, “Kite was not weak sufficient to be affected by your presence! Cease wanting down on him! Blaming your self for his dying is insulting his power!”

Gon’s eyes widened at Rayleigh’s outburst. Even Killua was shocked. Neither had ever seen Rayleigh increase his voice earlier than. Extra so, his phrases made sense. One thing had truly gotten by Gon’s cranium. Blaming himself for Kite’s dying was actually one other manner of wanting down on Kite.

Seeing that he was lastly getting by, Rayleigh continued, “Kite’s life was not yours to guard or save. His dying shouldn’t be yours to avenge. Each second you blame your self is one other insult to Kite’s power.”

Gon weakly argued again, “However, he is useless.”

“No. He is not,” Rayleigh countered

Killua requested, “Wait, what do you imply? You mentioned he was useless earlier.”

Rayleigh corrected, “That physique is a corpse, however that does not imply Kite is useless. Did you truly suppose Kite sacrificed himself for you guys? Do you suppose he gave up his life so that you two might get away? You’re both considering too extremely of yourselves or wanting down an excessive amount of on Kite. Even in opposition to one thing like that, Kite had a manner out. He at all times had a manner out.”

Gon requested, “Kite’s alive? Actually?”

Rayleigh let slip a little bit smile of aid on the hope that crammed Gon’s eyes as soon as extra. “After all he’s. As I mentioned. His life shouldn’t be yours to guard as a result of he can defend it simply wonderful himself. His dying shouldn’t be yours to avenge as a result of he isn’t useless.”

Killua requested, “How the hell is he alive then? Was that physique not his?”

Rayleigh nodded, “Not anymore. You guys keep in mind what I mentioned Ging’s largest secret was?”

Gon and Killua thought for some time and Killua was the primary to recollect and reply, “That he’s a reincarnator?”

Rayleigh nodded. “That is proper. And Ging was the one who taught Kite Loopy Slots. Inside was a operate that made use of the identical precept that Ging used to reincarnate. Truly, what he taught Kite was even higher than what he used. He’ll have all of his recollections with out something lacking. He’ll should cope with the inconvenience of rising up once more, however that is a small value to pay for a signifies that permits him to flee sure dying. What’s even higher is that new Kite has already been born. Wanna see him?”

Killua requested with comprehensible skepticism, “How might you inform all of that?”

Rayleigh answered with confidence, “I discovered all of it by psychometry on his corpse. The reincarnation approach was efficiently applied earlier than he died. Higher but, I obtained the sensation that these Hunters who introduced the physique again additionally discovered new Kite, however in all probability did not acknowledge him. We will go over to them proper now and ask in the event that they discovered a new child child lately.”

Gon wiped the tears from his eyes and shouted, “Let’s do it!” He needed to see Kite, see that he was okay, and see that he efficiently survived dying.

Not one of the 4 Hunters had been actually doing a lot. The Hunter President had gone off to carry out reconnaissance and so they would not hear again from him for a number of weeks. It did not take lengthy to search out the man once more.

The sunglasses-wearing broad-shouldered Hunter requested, “You wanna know in regards to the child we discovered? Why?”

Rayleigh defined, “I noticed every part that occurred when Kite died. His Nen modified when he died into some unusual Submit-Mortem Nen type and took his soul with it. I believe Kite reincarnated and I sensed you guys encountered it.”

“Wait, severely? That was Kite? Huh. Alright. I will take you to her.”

Gon requested with shock, “Her?”

The big Hunter, an expert named Morel, answered with a teasing smile, “Yeah, it is a lady.”

*Creator’s Word*

To all the blokes who maintain complaining that I’m nerfing my MC, please keep in mind he’s a child. I’m attempting for realism not only for powers, but in addition for psychological states. The ‘nerfs’ are my MC’s try and protect his sanity not less than till puberty. A lot of the different Gamers won’t even trouble, and the distinction will present when they’re adults and their interactions. I am shocked nobody caught onto that already. Was naming one of many Gamers ‘Lord of Insanity’, not a large enough trace? I imply in chapter 2 the Tavern even advised the MC that they totally anticipated lots of Gamers to show into supervillains!

I believe many readers are so used to studying MCs who’re sane for no different cause than the truth that their writer did not wish to write them insane. A grand majority of fanfictions, particularly reincarnation ones, do not give any justifiable cause for the MC to be sane. They ignore the truth that a baby’s mind chemistry makes considering like an grownup always inconceivable and so they simply make their MC a well-balanced particular person who can kill when he’s 12 years outdated with none issues and change into a totally secure grownup. My MC then again goes to correctly earn his sanity.

If you wish to see the extent of madness a number of the different Gamers will attain upon maturity, google search “INSANE (A Hazbin Resort Music)” and you will get an thought. Realistically talking, if somebody lived a life, died, and obtained superpowers with none sort of built-in security, that’s just about the extent of loopy that’s completely affordable for them to achieve. Being sane after residing a life, dying, and gaining superpowers is much extra unnatural if you concentrate on it. To many, sanity is like an uncomfortable swimsuit and masks you must put on to your complete life. After experiencing dying, would such an individual even trouble to put on it once more?
