Chapter 96: Conversation

.......

Silva didn't interrupt just watching until he heard Yasuo saying, "See you later..." The spiders didn't respond instead they just left jumping through buildings leaving the Zoldycks alone. "Explain..."

The air in the room seems to change into a solemn one that appeared heavier with the sound of rain outside as the Zoldyck family's head looked at Yasuo with a heavy expression on his face waiting for a satisfactory explanation.

"Sorry, but it was necessary. He hired me to get them out of this situation alive for a favor and I really needed that favor because of one of the gang members' ability."

Slowly explained Yasuo as he formed another portal in which he went through with Silva following him.

They appeared few miles away from the city as Yasuo added.

"I have been looking for someone with an ability I need for a while and according to my investigation, I found that it's highly likely one of the siders has such an ability. I didn't plan for this but since I found the chance I decided to take it. I hope you don't mind much."

Hearing that didn't cause a change in Silva's expression, instead, he informed saying.

"That will depend on what you need it for. You should know that I never failed in a job ever before and I took pride in that so continue."

Yasuo nodded already knowing that, "Well first I want to say that I'll owe you one so if you ever need anything, just ask. Anyway, in the simplest terms, that particular ability will help me know more about Nanika and... Zigg."

That got Silva's attention as he narrowed his eyes listening carefully, Yasuo continued.

"You see Nanika was a result of his expedition to the dark continent and I'm sure you came to the same conclusion.

I confirmed it a while ago after talking with the hunter association's chairman Netero but due to some unknown event, it appears he can't tell us anything about it and I think that particular spider's ability might help."

Silva frowned and looked in deep thought for a while before letting out a sigh, "You should've told me earlier.. and this will be the last time you do anything like this. If you take a mission take it with the intent to finish it and even though this is not your mission, it's still mine and I failed the job... I would've failed it either way but this is about the trust I put in you."

Then he just shook his head, "I'm making this a bigger case than it really is. Your reason for doing it is good the problem is that you didn't tell me so just let me know if there is a next time and I'll help."

Yasuo nodded as silence enveloped the place until Silva asked, "Do you? Need help I mean."

The young Zoldyck shook his head, "Nah, I can handle it on my own, and it's better this way but if I need help I'll definitely inform you... But now that I think about it there is something that'll be helpful and only take a few minutes at most."

Silva raised his brows wondering, "Oh what is it?"

Yasuo smile and said while stroking his earring, "I want you to use your main ability on me, the explosive orbs but just gently as I don't actually want to die."

"Why??" Weirdly asked having no idea of what the other wants to do.

"Well, I found I have a natural ability but getting affected by another ability seems to be a condition for it to work so I want to see if it will work on abilities such as yours." Explained Yasuo without going into many details.

Silva didn't mind as he instructed, "Any part of your body can activate it?"

And lifted his right arm to his right while focusing his aura on it, an aura that started shaping into a massive bright purple sphere with what looked like red lighting all around the sphere.

He started moving the sphere slowly towards Yasuo with the latter remaining defenseless using only the basic principle of Nen called 'Ten' which doesn't provide much protection especially the ability Silva possesses, one of the most devastating abilities ever known.

Yasuo lifted his right arm without answering preparing to receive the attack with the side of his arm and well, receiving it isn't exactly what happened.

Instead, the sphere seems to devour what it came in contact with and it did the dame to Yasuo's flew, the small part of his arm's flesh before he said, "That's enough."

Only then did Silva dissolve the explosive orb as Yasuo closed his eyes not caring about the missing flesh from his arm though what's strange is the wound not bleeding at all.

The anomaly focused as darkness surrounded him as if not seeing anything in a state of absolute focus as a purple bubble enveloped him sensing everything within.

Sensing the remains of the explosive orb as it made contact with his Aura as the latter seem to want to devour it... to know every little detail about it and so it did.

His Aura seems to flow naturally into his right arm onto the forefront of his hand forming into a small orb resting on his palm.

A sphere of pure Aura vastly different than Silva's transmutation ability since the latter actually transmit his Aura into something in contrast to Yasuo but the latter didn't finish just yet.

He started doing what he really wanted to do, mimicking the ability as he started copying exactly how Silva's Nen behaves when using the ability.

How the sphere feel which is something he knows clearly after his Nen had a taste of it and only then did the sphere's shape starts to change and it only continued to do so as he concentrated more and more Aura on it.

Minutes passed yet the process still didn't finish but even this amount of progress caused the Zoldyck family's head's eyes to widen as he looked at the spectacular scene playing out. As he looked at his son doing something that took him more than a year to do, an ability that he had to push his imagination and visualization to their limits to create yet the young monster was able to do so in minutes and even though there is a big difference between creating and mimicking it's still a monstrous feat nonetheless.

The sphere started shining in purple light as what looked like lightning flying around it the difference being its color because while the sphere remained in the same purple color albeit a bit darker.

The lightening around it became completely black, the sphere continued to enlarge for a while before Yasuo deemed it was enough.

At that same instant, he activated Negative Violet Rose and attacked his wounded right arm albeit slowly until he noticed that the part of the sphere that comes in contact with his arm disappears instead, only then did he attack fully with the sphere disappearing completely.

This is due to a hidden limitation of Violet Rose ability, about what can be considered part of the ability since he found creating Aura spheres as long as their in contact with his hand and their overall shape is within close proximity to it.

It's still considered part of his arms hence they have the same effect as Violet Rose while if the spheres became emitted the effect is thereby lost.

The wounds on his right arm healed almost instantly as he let out a sigh of absolute satisfaction.

'Thankfully, the orbs are considered part of the ability making everything in the future much easier and... the ability is actually much more devastating than I thought and much more useful and it makes sense considering what he transmuted his Aura into.'

"You can copy abilities? since when?" Asked Silva with his arms crossed.

Yasuo nodded, "I found out a while ago."

A glimmer of light passed in Silva's eyes as he asked further, "I'm sure you already noticed Chrollo's peculiarity and came to the same conclusion I came to, he has a copying or stealing abilities Hatsu and he tried to use it on me though I'm not sure how it works but I'm sure it has something to do with the conjured book he holds on his right arm. Can you copy it? the book?"

Yasuo shook his head answering, "I can only mimic simple abilities with little to no restrictions and found it impossible to mimic ones with too many conditions and limitations."

Silva didn't question any further instead he asked about something else, "Want to go home? Visit the others... Your mother missed you quite a lot."

Easily accepted Yasuo as total appeared next to them, " Sure, I was thinking of visiting anyway and Illumi asked me to meet him as well."

"Oh he did huh, that's rare. by the way, about your actions in the Kakin empire, what's your end goal?

And considering how much money you're making as technically the boos of the underworld... Why do you still accept assassination missions?" Wondered Silva genuinely curious.

"Well, I just take a breath of fresh air from time to time and it helps the family's reputation,"

Casually answered which brought a small smile to the father's face and let out a small laugh changing the subject.

"I think you have a lot of questions to answer about your fiancee, you really didn't tell us much about her except what your mother investigated hehe..

She will probably take you hostage until you answer everything..." Yasuo's face twitched a bit hearing that but just shook his head nonetheless.

And so they went through several portals as the gears of time accelerated... seasons passed and tree leaves fell, whole trees fells but new ones spurted as well and with them came the birth of new leaves...
