Chapter 290: Comprehensive Anime Spirits: Starting from Hunter x Hunter Chapter 158

Counter girl: …

Though reason told the Young Lady this was a waste of money, the money wasn't hers to begin with.

In the end, she exchanged all the money for juice candies, and because Killua bought so much at once, they nearly emptied their stock.

He casually called the family butler, Wutong, and told him to arrange someone to pick up the candies.

Killua himself couldn't possibly carry all that much candy back.

Killua instructed the counter girl that someone would come later to collect them.

Then he opened a box of candy, sampling the delicious treats as he walked out.

"Sss~"

"These candies are really good."

"Pity they're a Sky Arena limited edition."

"Should I earn a bit more here?"

Killua stopped walking and began considering whether to defy his family's orders and try the two-hundredth layer.

Shhh—

A figure appeared before Killua.

The man wore dark green clothing adorned with yellow dots—actual nails, his weapons.

The young man had long black hair, a strangely childish face, and deep eyes.

Though he looked young, he radiated an aura of malice that made people instinctively want to keep their distance.

The man was Illumi, Killua's older brother, Shiba's eldest son, and a notorious sibling-obsessed figure in the Hunter World.

"Killua, the family told you not to go past the second layer."

Illumi said coldly.

Unlike the young Killua, he was already a Nen user and knew exactly what the two-hundredth layer entailed.

Because of the "Purification," the Zoldyck family did not intend for Killua to reach the two-hundredth layer.

Having reached this point has already served its training purpose.

Killua's expression changed slightly. "Big brother?!"

"What are you doing here?"

"Me? I'm here to take you home."

…

Time moved forward until 1997.

Grotto Corporation.

Luo Ge sat quietly in the boss's chair, listening to Loto's report.

"Loto loto."

"There's something important."

"Latest news: Chairman Niteluo has appointed Parishton, the Rat of the Twelve Earthly Branches, as vice-chairman."

"This hasn't been officially announced yet—it was leaked first by Piyon."

Luo Ge's gaze flickered slightly.

Vice-chairman…

According to the original timeline, this is about when Parishton becomes vice-chairman.

"Anything else?"

"Loto, there's one more thing."

"You previously instructed me to locate the Dark Sonata—it's now been traced."

"Oh?"

Luo Ge's interest instantly sparked.

The Dark Sonata, a mysterious and powerful force in the original story, naturally intrigued him.

Hence his order to find its whereabouts.

Rumor says the Dark Sonata was composed by the Demon King as a solo piece.

It can be performed separately on piano, violin, flute, and harp.

When humans play or listen to it, they inevitably suffer unimaginable disasters.

In the original story, someone who heard only a single bar of the flute portion of the Dark Sonata

Lost his healthy body and gained the ability to perceive others' emotional shifts.

The performer died immediately after finishing the piece.

It is a deeply sinister artifact, very much in the style of the Dark Continent.

He wanted to obtain it!

As Luo Ge's thought arose, a faint phantom figure emerged behind him.

It was his guardian spirit beast!

That day, he used the 【Recycling Room】 to repair the Cursed Vase, and thus gained his guardian spirit beast.

He renamed that vase the 【Guardian Vase Gate】.
