Judgement Chain Hunter X Hunter Novels & Stories

*** The gunshot echoed through the underground cage like a divine punctuation — the kind that closed a chapter permanently. Ziko’s body slumped forward, lifeless, crimson blooming across his chest like a cursed rose. Hunter stood still as his men: trained, merciless, silent, stepped in and cleaned up the mess. Not a single command was needed. They knew the drill. Blood was part of the foundation down here. Hunter lit a cigarette, the smoke curling from his lips like a hissed warning to anyone daring enough to cross him next. The bitter flavor of rage hadn’t dulled at all. If anything, it grew sharper with every passing second.

There was no refusal to give up. There was nothing. I pulled my hand back fast. Her skin had not burned me. The feeling was coming from elsewhere. A support pillar beside me cracked before I even realized I had hit it and the stone splintered under my palm. The sound rolled through the chapel like thunder. I picked up a silver chain from the debris and threw it. It went into the far wall so deep that only the last few links were still visible. This was not winning. This was stealing. The hunters had wanted both of us. If they could not kill me they would kill what was hunting me. If they could not kill her they would use her to hurt me.

Then the Moon Caster is on the ground, blood pooling beneath him, eyes staring at nothing. I look at him dispassionately. He got what he deserved. I’m glad to see him dead. Kaely shifts back to human form. I do the same, and for a moment, we size each other up. I know he’s taking in my body, just as I’m taking in his. We both know what’s next. “We better get this thing back,” he says, nudging the corpse with a toe. I nod. The hunt is over early. There’s only one thing left for us to do tonight—and we have hours and hours left to do it.

My retaliation was a public humiliation in front of the entire university that Gary could not simply ignore. The game of humiliation he had carefully planned had turned into a public judgment of him and his lackeys. It broke the last of his restraint and made him go mad. He dropped the civility and stopped testing the waters. That night, the app posted an unprecedented "Ultimate Hunting" Quest. The title was crimson red. [Ultimate Hunting Quest. Capture Sinead alive and take her to the abandoned classroom building in the north.]

Still confused about what he is saying because my dad has never discussed this with me before he died. “ I told your dad to discuss it with you but he always tells me it isn't time for you to know. Now he is gone you have to know your lineage. Like I said you are from the generation of hunters. Your lineage has always been the leaders of the Hunter's. Now your dad is dead, you are to take over from him. The mantle has been passed to you. Hunters are the ones who hunt werewolves.” I sobbed as tears trickled down my eyes. I couldn't hold it

And he hands over the one he has with him. I feel the chain burn through my palm but I fight through that and quickly use it around the raging Hunter even though it was not convenient to hold him with one hand. His scream of agony as the chain goes around his body is what torments me for a bit. Almost weighs me down until Ryu gets his own collection of chains around him. That is when we finally get him to submit. I collapse to the ground in pain soon after Hunter’s body goes limp. I have to catch my breath right now. It was one hell of a ride trying to get Ryu down. Feels harder than the last time he was in this state.

In Aqualeara, the choices made held profound consequences, and the guardian's judgment served as a stark reminder of the delicate balance between right and wrong. As Hunter's limp form sinks into the waiting arms of his companions, they check him with deep concern. He is unconscious, his eyes red and puffy in response to the venom, but he's alive. The guardian, satisfied with his retribution, releases them, allowing the merfolk to swim free from his coils.

Though still shaking, She nodded. "Five minutes." Aiden said. I looked at him and then at Chain. "Hold him down." I ordered. Chain nodded and gently placed his hands on the trigger. I looked at Jay. He's sweating over the AC, His eyes looking down. "I said up." Chain said. He slowly put his hands up. "FUCK!" Chain screamed when Jay hit his gun causing it to fall on the ground. At that moment Jay ran. Chain was about to go after him but I stopped him. I looked at my clock.

I see the edge glint again from catching the light. I don’t hesitate, I focus my gaze and I can see the outline around him becoming clear. In that moment he makes his decision and I watch it play out. He’s going to kill Rion. And he’s going to do it any minute now. I feel Jax beside me, I can hear that’s he’s talking but I can’t understand him. I see Jesse start to move and that’s when I scream, “ NO!”

Dante roared. He didn't use a blade. He used the black, thorny chain between us. He wrapped the jagged Tether around his own arm, ignoring the way the thorns shredded his leather jacket and tore into his muscle. He used the link as a literal leash, yanking me out of the Judge's grasp with a violent, desperate strength. I hit the obsidian floor, gasping for air that tasted of ozone. "Sora! Kael! Get her out of here!" Dante yelled. He stood between me and the three Judges, his body silhouetted against the glowing silver moats. He looked like a titan, even as the black chain continued to bleed the life out of him.
