Chapter 36: Mysterious Inscriptions

........

In the far northeast of the Yarbia continent, near the ocean in the dense jungle of Nahale, a certain ruin was discovered.

This is the ruin Yasuo's visiting now, It has only been discovered recently while Yasuo was exploring another ruin in the continent of Auciontica.

This ruin only consists of a single underground building with several empty rooms inside.

Yasuo could be seen inside the ruin with his domain spread all around.

'Hmm there is actually something, from all the ruins I visited, only two had the inscriptions with this one being the third,'

Across the last year, Yasuo visited several ruins though only three had the inscriptions so far attesting to its rarity though the previous two he found helped significantly in his studies of the inscriptions.

He moved through the ruins observing the inscriptions on the walls, 'Most of them are strengthening inscription while few of them are concealment inscription and...'

He kept walking until he stood in front of a certain wall, 'A new inscription' he observed it as a gleam of delight appeared in his eyes.

His domain processed every information memorizing the inscription in order to experiment with it later.

Once he memorized them and explored the entire ruin, he went out then flew back to the hotel he booked in a nearby city.

He entered his room after he had something to eat. From the two sheaths on his belt, two small black daggers flew until they hovered in front of him.

Though what's different about them is the captivating engravings on them making them look more appealing but no amount of appeal could hide that apparent deadly vile Aura surrounding them.

The daggers seemed to blend in the darkness making them hardly detectable. This is the effect of the concealment inscriptions though it's not that effective.

After he learned the inscriptions and verified their uses, he engraved them on the daggers making them deadlier, akin to artifacts crafted by God, they're not at that level yet but perhaps, someday, they'll be.

This is how he learns what each inscription does, he engraves it on a test object then observes the results while doing several tests.

So far he only found two different inscriptions, one that strengths the object it got engraved onto and most likely the one Ging engraved on the box he left for Gon.

The other lower the object's presence by making it blends with the environment though the effectiveness is quite low in the daylight while satisfactory at night.

The reason he can't test the inscription's uses at the ruins where they're engraved is that those ones are ineffective.

The thing about the inscriptions is that once the one who engraved them die, they'll lose their effect since the most important part of them is the engraver's Nen.

if the engraver dies, their Nen disappears, except in special cases where the Nen becomes stronger after the user's death, but Yasuo didn't come across such phenomena yet.

From his backpack, several tiny needles and a metal tablet flew until they hovered in the air close to him.

The needles are something he made himself in the lab back home though he spent most of the time exploring, he still goes back from time to time.

He made them from a highly durable material and what an ordinary person can't notice is the small engravings across the needles.

Those are strengthening inscriptions making the needles stronger which allowed him to engrave the inscription on the daggers which otherwise would be hard even with 'Shu'.

He used 'Ren' as his aura shrouded the tablet, he then used 'Shu' on the needles making them stronger and especially focused on their sharpness then started engraving the inscriptions.

Something that could easily be noticed is when he finishes an individual inscription, the latter seems to absorb the aura he is emitting while using Ren.

This is what makes the process so taxing, keeping Ren during the entire process and the Nen getting absorbed making it even more taxing, especially since one needs to engrave the inscription perfectly during the entire process.

This highly difficult process didn't seem to pose any difficulty for Yasuo as he controlled several needles at the same time engraving the inscriptions perfectly.

The process looked captivating as the dark purple aura shrouded everything while the needles carved a beautiful work of art bringing a bright smile to Yasuo's face.

The process continued for a while until he retracted his aura as the needles flew back to his backpack.

The tablet that looked enchanting after the engravings stayed hovering in front of him as he observed it closely.

Though he noticed no change even with his domain, the tablet flew close to him, then "Amplification."

A purple bubble surrounded it as his domain shrunk making his sense inside the amplification domain stronger.

He scanned thoroughly yet he found no noticeable level. He brought his hand up then slashed cutting the tablet in half.

'Hmm, no noticeable effect and no strengthening effect, but finally an inscription I need more in-depth tests to find its use, to my lab I go.' Though Yasuo with a hint of anticipation and satisfaction deep in his dark eyes.

Suddenly his phone started ringing, he answered the call, "Yes"

"Yasuo, come back home if you're available, we may need you to use your ability to observe something." Silva Directly said, his tone grave and the urgency within it apparent.

Yasuo narrowed his eyes, "I'm free so I'll be there shortly." then he hanged up.

All of Yasuo's stuff flew back to his backpack as he started ruminating, 'According to the timing, it should be Nanika, whenever I went back home I spent a lot of time with Alluka though I noticed no change, I guess It's time.'

A glint of light appeared deep in his eyes as he used perfect domain. The window opened by itself before he disappeared flying at his top speed which became faster since he increased his domain range to seventy meters.

...

In the playground of the Zoldyck family, three people could be seen.

Two little kids playing by the sand, one has black hair while the other's hair is white, Alluka and Killua.

Close to them is a young blonde woman in a servent suit, she seems to be keeping an eyes on them. This is Mitsuba, a servant of the Zoldyck family.

Suddenly Alluka turned around facing Mistsuba then while lifting her hands, she said "Carry me Mitsuba!"

"I mustn't... Young miss," Responded Mitsuba with an apologetic look.

Killua didn't pay any attention as he continued playing. Alluka had a blank look on her face but she still asked again, "Then, hold my hand, Mitsuba!", "Weeeell, I can't young miss, I'm sorry."

Alluka then went on to ask another request only to get the same answer, then "Then, could you give me an upsy daisy?"

"I'm sorry, I mustn't do that either, young mi..."

Mitsuba didn't get to finish what she had to say since she got crushed into minced meat leaving only a few body parts and a pool of blood. The same happened to Hassam in the butler's headquarters.

Killua seemed a little bit surprised while Alluka was just looking at the scene confused, acting in vast contrast to normal kids, not affected by the gory scene at all.

"Alluka!' she suddenly heard a call from a familiar voice next to her, she turned around instantly with a happy look on her face, "Yasuo oni-chan! carry me!" She said while lifting her hands.

Yasuo did just that, he held her in his left arm with a smile on his face, he pinched her cheeks asking "Did you miss me?".

"Mihsihsyuuu!" Alluka had a hard time answering with him pinching her cheeks.

"Hehe, cute" Yasuo let out a genuine laugh that turned into a serene smile as he remarked.

"Bad Onii-chan!!" said Alluka with a cute pout.

Though while all of this is happening, he is processing every information as his domain is focused on her, yet still no change to be noticed.

'Hmm, I scanned her at the cellular level yet she seems normal, perhaps I should try it again when Nanika appears.'
