Conqueror Of All - 168 Facing a dragon

Inside of the mansion, the girls were getting ready to go outside, and Hisoka was just going along with them, standing near Defying. The two of them were gazing at the others, almost like guardians.

When Hisoka saw them wanting to leave the mansion as a big group, a small frown appeared on his face. He couldn’t hold himself back any longer and spoke in a natural yet cold voice. “What are you girls trying to do?”

Hancock was the first one to reply back, her eyes were sharply staring at Hisoka. “We are going outside as Husband told us. What do you mean by what we are trying to do, are you perhaps thinking of not following Husband’s wishes?”

Slowly but surely, a wild sensation filled up the room, and it all originated from Hisoka, he had a creepy smile on his face while staring towards Boa Hancock. “None of you are prepared for anything, you’re like a bunch of sheep! Pick a leader amongst yourselves, pick roles for what you’re good at, and follow that! I don’t care if I have to save you small girls after getting beaten up, but do you really want to disappoint Izan on the first day?” Hisoka’s voice was undeniable filled with joy, he kind of wanted to see them fight and fail. But he had his own reasons to follow upon Izan’s wish for him to be someone that can take command.

Hancock’s eyes were squinted, and she wanted to lash out at Hisoka, but she was held back by Nico Robin. “Hancock, he’s right and you know it. Don’t act in the heat of the moment just because he is a man.” Everyone knew that Hancock has a hatred against men, it have gotten less over time, but it was still clear that Hancock disliked any men other than Izan.

But that didn’t mean that Hancock was always right, and Nico Robin knew it very well that they could have made a mistake this early unless Hisoka didn’t tell them. He might have been slightly harsh, but it was also their fault for not taking it seriously. Nico Robin turned towards Hisoka, a small smile on her face as she spoke to him. “I will be the leader of the group, Nojiko will be our protector, helping us if we get attacked. Hancock will attack anyone that has any thoughts of harming us, whilst the rest will act as support. Is that good enough?”

Nico Robin wanted to test out her Nen abilities, as it did match her Devil Fruit that she had eaten when she was younger. And like her, every one of her sisters also wanted to test out their Nen abiltities. They might not be as strong as Izan, but they weren’t too weak either as they all had their own strengths and weaknesses. And if they roamed as a group, there wouldn’t be too many people that could harm them.

Hisoka gave a nod, and when he did that, he saw them starting to walk out the door. The small little red bird flapped her wings and everyone of them began flying, even Hisoka. And as they came out of the mansion, it suddenly vanished.

And when Hisoka and the rest glanced down, they saw a figure staring at them…

-Very far away-

It barely took Izan a few moments before he was far away from the mansion. And as he was flying, he used his Soul Sensation to map the Continent, and from what he could tell, he had only checked around 1/100th of it.

Izan took a little bit of time to stop and glance around, but when he glanced around, his eyebrows furrowed slightly. He was in an area that had been devoured of all life, nothing could exist in such an area. The earth has turned black, there were no trees, plants or anything in the surrounding fifty kilometres.

After thinking for a while, Izan descended slowly, and when his feet planted itself on the ground, it crumbled apart. Izan held himself up with his Law of Gravity, and with a small frown on his face, he saw that everything had been destroyed and devoured by something or someone here.

A glint appeared in his eyes as he sensed someone suddenly appearing, the sensation of that person was so little that he could barely notice him. What Izan felt was something smaller than an ant, perhaps only the size of a dust, but behind that small particle of dust, was a Nen hidden which was much stronger than Hisoka’s outburst of Nen.

He could feel that the person was getting closer, but Izan didn’t care much about it. As Izan could guess that the person had the ability of an assassin, but now that Izan knows his location, there wouldn’t be any troubles for him.

And only based on Izan’s body strength and protective Nen, there weren’t many people that could draw a few drops of blood from his body by force.

“Oh, you have already noticed me… Young man, may I ask when you noticed me?” An old voice sounded out behind Izan, the voice seemed both tired and slightly excited for some reason.

“I noticed you the moment your Nen appeared. You’re good at hiding it, but it is still visible.” Izan turned around with a small smile on his face, and when he had turned around, he saw a small old man with white hair standing not too far away from him.

The small old man had his hands behind his back, trying to support his back upwards. His face was pale white, he has a small thin moustache going down his face, and he was wearing a robe with white, black and purple colours.

“Who are you…? You’re not from here…” The old man asked as his eyes turned slightly sharp. Since the last decade, there has been many more threats from the Dark Continent, and many of those threats were hidden in the darkness of this Continent, his family was one of those few who had been fighting back since the start.

Izan and the small old man were staring at each other, Izan raised his right hand slowly as a smirk appeared on his face, and the old man raised both of his arms up hurriedly.

A golden dragon appeared behind the old man, splitting the air apart and rushing towards Izan. The old man slightly got relaxed after seeing one of his Transmutation abilities happening first before the young man did anything.

But when the golden dragon neared Izan, Izan’s right hand was already in the air.
