Synopsis[]

Chap 251 - Knov seeing the human cocoons

Knov seeing the human cocoons

Knov reaches the palace courtyard, breathing heavily and saying that the central staircase is still more than 100 meters away. The trees covered with cocoons loom above him, and he guesses that the ten trees have around 500 each, and it adds up if they sorted 500,000 people with a 1% survival rate. And it was only made possible because of Killua's interference that limited the sorting to one day. As Knov forms an exit, he worries about the 5,000 humans who will hatch into Nen weapons to serve as the King's pawns, guessing that Pitou is a Manipulator and that they plan to use them to invade other countries. He resolves to stop them and finishes setting the furthest exit, running toward the front entrance, and setting another exit. Confident in his plan, he doesn't spot any lookouts and believes that the best place for another exit would be the central staircase on the second floor.

Darting through the palace and using the giant columns as cover, Knov thinks about making an exit just in case, but realizes that he has to get further inside to give them a better chance. He sprints off, but immediately runs into a-lone Chimera Ant. The two lock eyes and Knov immediately puts his hands together to use his Scream ability. He forms a portal between his hands and has it envelop the Ant's head. The portal closes and decapitates him, with Knov quickly catching the body as blood spurts out. Panicking, he worries about being seen and quickly opens a portal to dispose of the corpse. He realizes that no one else is around, but accidentally steps in the Ant's blood, leaving his shoes behind as he runs deeper into the palace.

Chap 251 - Knov understanding just how dangerous the Royal Guards are

Knov understanding just how dangerous the Royal Guards are

Knov turns a corner and glimpses the enormous central staircase, darting to the side of it as he senses something above. His breathing quickens, and a sinister aura appears around the top of the staircase. Knov declares that he cannot move any closer, knowing that it would only lead to his death. He says that he has never seen such a sinister aura, but explains that it's not death he fears, but that the Royal Guards would torture all the information out of him if he were caught. He continues to be terrified of the dark aura and finally sets the last exit, saying that it's as far as he can go. As Knov makes his escape, he suddenly sees four trucks driving toward the palace.
