Chapter 187: Blaize vs Pitou
Even before the strike could make contact, Pitou felt a terrifying force traveling from her left arm to the entire body. As a result of immense power, her arm deformed for a second before she was sent flying away.
"Bang!"
Kite looked at Blaize in amazement. With the ominous aura, Kite felt from the Royal Guard, he knew how strong the chimera ant is, but he didn't expect Blaize to be strong enough to fight it head-on.
Blaize's attack didn't injure Pitou much but it roused her fighting intent.
An overwhelming, extremely ominous 'Ren' broke out of her, using her legs as a springboard, she pounced towards him.
Her menacing aura forced Kite, Gon, and Killua to maintain some distance from the battle.
Seeing her actions, Blaize smiled and showed off his own Ren. Unlike Pitou's, his aura is extremely pure and vast as an ocean. Furthermore, his Nen is slightly more powerful than the latter.
Glimpsing the future, Blaize evaded Pitou's attack at ease before kicking at the latter's stomach, coating his foot with 100 percent of aura.
This time, Pitou was quick to react, she covered her stomach region with 'Ken', minimizing the damage to none.
Landing some distance away from him, Pitou looked at Blaize in fever with her cat eyes. "As I expected-nya, you are strong!!"
"Amazing!" Gon and Killua muttered. They didn't expect Blaize to be this strong.
"It's more than amazing. I have seen and met many powerful Nen users, but only Ging-san will come close to the amount of aura released by these two." Kite uttered.
"What? Ging is so strong!" Gon exclaimed.
Pitou's intuition tells her that she should kill the human, otherwise, he would be a considerable threat to the King once he's born.
Crouching in her position, her leg muscles contracted, causing them to swell. With a slight force, she leaped, not towards Blaize but towards the nearby tree.
Her figure leaped from one tree to another, increasing her speed. Within a few seconds, her figure blurred and turned into after images.
Seeing this, Blaize smiled. In terms of physical strength and aura output, she's stronger than Netero but when it comes to utilizing them to 100 percent, she's nowhere near the latter.
After all, Pitou has been born for a few hours. But, he could tell she was learning them at a fast rate.
Still, Blaize is confident in defeating her if he uses his Haki and devil power. But, he didn't plan on doing that.
Because if he does that, there's a chance that it would disrupt his plan. With no one of Pitou's level guarding the Queen, he can't tell what Netero, Morel, and Knov would do.
There's still time for the King to be born, he will plan slowly on how to deal with the Royal Guards.
Thinking through, Blaize looked at Pitou and smiled. "You are strong, Ant. But, are you sure it's the right decision to leave the Queen's side?"
"What?"
He simply stretched his left hand toward the direction of Queen's Nest. A bluish-white radiance enveloped his hand, before growing into a huge fireball.
The next moment, bluish-white flame blasted from his hands in a straight line similar to a laser beam, incinerating everything in its path.
"If you react fast, you can save your King."
Pitou's countenance completely changed and before Blaize could finish his words, the former leaped from the spot with all her strength, towards the Queen's Nest.
As her reaction was fast enough, she was able to intercept the attack midway before the strike could reach the nest.
Pitou blocked the beam with her own body, enveloping it with Nen. "Boom!" She didn't expect the fire beam to explode upon contact.
The explosion was like a thunderclap to everyone and could be heard from far away. The vigorous amount of heat energy and shockwave released by the explosion traveled outward in all directions.
Caught off guard, Pitou bore the full brunt of the attack and was blasted towards the Chimera Ant nest at the back. Even with the protection of Nen, she was injured heavily.
Blaize didn't even spare a glance and simply turned around. Dusting his hands, he faced Kite, Gon, and Killua who all looked at him with their mouth wide open.
"What?" Blaize asked.
They thought it would be a tough fight between Blaize and the Royal Guard, but they didn't expect Blaize would deal with the Chimera Ant in such a manner.
"What are you plotting?" Kite asked. He could tell Blaize was strong enough to finish the ant, but he didn't. It arouses his suspicion.
Blaize shrugged without giving any reply.
"What are we doing next?" Gon asked.
"We wait," Kite spoke.

Chimera Ant Nest,
The sudden explosion and crashing sound of Pitou startled every ant, including the Queen. Within a few seconds, all the chimera ant soldiers and officers surrounded Queen's hall to protect her from any harm.
"Bang!"
As Peggy and Colt were also stunned by the sudden explosion, Pitou's figure crashed into the hall they stayed in.
Looking at her injured and bloodied body, they were shocked and astounded as they knew how strong and terrifying the Royal Guard, Neferpitou is.
To be able to injure her to this extent, how strong is the enemy?
Without minding the injuries, Pitou dashed out and jumped to the highest point of the nest. She looked at Blaize's figure in alert with her cat eyes while guarding the nest with her 'En'.
"Neferpitou-dono, what happened?" Colt came out and asked.
"It's the humans. Order the soldier ants to patrol around the nest and summon the others for Nen's awakening. We need a strong force to stop them."
"Yes,"
"I hope the other Royal Guards wake up soon. I can't stop him alone."
Blaize and Kite stood at the edge of the cliff and monitored the Nest in the distance. Neferpitou stood outside and kept her 'En' active around the clock.
"It looks like your strength alerted the enemy. And, it's nearly impossible to sneak past that 'En'." Kite commented.
