Part 29: The X Night X Saviour

SECCO RASVIN

  It was now Maurice against Killua and James, and me against this strange girl called Masaki. I'm glad that I could somehow control my curse. In the end, I don't need to get this power out of my body, but to embrace it.

   I caught a glance of the two boys, with their Nen now spread widely. Killua's eyes and face glared at Maurice as if he won't hesitate to kill him anytime. His whole body was surrounded by electricity, his hair flowing along with the energy. Despite his severe injury on his arm, it didn't affect him at all.

  James' ice spread through his body, making frost armour that looks strong as steel. The cold wind surrounding him made his dark blue hair flow with it. One can tell that the two of them are serious right now.

  My opponent's arms became wrinkled and purple, just like how my arm once was. Soon, red eyes popped from them and her nails, rather than becoming tongues, it became longer and sharper than before.

  Her deep glowing red eyes stared at me, as if she was staring into my soul. It seems like we're about the same age. It's really sad that someone young like her also ended up like me.

  I prepared myself. I released the tongues on my back, just like how Maurice did earlier, and grabbed my bandages.

"You're in love, too, right..." She said all of a sudden, which caught me off guard.

"Huh?"

  "We're both here for the sake of love. You must've understood why I am doing this." She added. I couldn't help but to frown at her statement. Understood?

"I'm not like you!" I yelled. I gritted my teeth and glared at her. I came here out of my free will and Killua was just there to support me while we help each other out.

  That's the kind of love we're in. I don't know what kind of relationship they were in, but I'm sure it's not genuine, where her was just obsessing over him.

"Is that so?" She uttered. Then, she finally went with her battle stance. "Then, let's see whose love is more powerful."

  She suddenly sprinted towards me at faster speed. I ordered a tentacle to strike her with its sharp edges, but she easily dodged it. I repeatedly attacked her, but she avoided them all until it's her turn to land a hit on me.

  I managed to block her first attack, but then, knowing that I have a weak spot on my stomach, she immediately raised her leg and kicked it.

  Thankfully, just like what Bisky taught, I covered it immediately with Ken. But still, despite the protective aura, I felt the pain and almost throw up in my position.

  If I didn't use my Nen, I could end up with a damaged organ and broken bones because of her attack.

"You're one of us. Just give up." She said, trying to convince me as she kept attacking me with both her arms and feet.

  I managed to caught one of her legs using my bandages, grabbed all of her limbs using my tentacles, making her immobilized.

  I remembered the time that I spent with my father. She always told me to not mind the people and the bullies that talk bad about me because of my arm. His wish was for me to have a happy life despite the curse.

  I swear to find him and bring him back.

  "It's true that I'm the same as you— cursed, corrupted, distorted. But I'll survive this chaos and live a happy life. Because that's what my parents wanted me to have!" I yelled.

  Because of what I said, her eyes turned into slits, as if she was disgusted by what I said. It was the first time that I saw her have emotions.

  "Silly girl. Grandfather really wasted the power on you."
