The Ant King is supreme and shouldnāt care about a human being, or so thought Pouf.
But he had to admit, that the Ant King had a special place for Komugi in his heart.
āHis majesty asked me to protect her and not let her leave, is it because he wants to defeat her in Chess?ā
Pouf guessed, but he didnāt ask.
He just obeyed the order and took Komugi away.
Before leaving, Komgi turned to Meruem and asked: āKing-sama, can we still play together in the future?ā
The King didnāt answer, but he looked at Komugi with tenderness.
āKomugi, wait for meā¦ā
Meruem thought, but he said seriously: āWeāll play again when Iām done, Komugi.ā
During the games with Komugi, the kingās character changed a lot.
The Ant King held Komugi dearly in his heart.
Although she wasnāt strong physically, the power she had in chess was something even he, the Chimera Ant King, recognized.
āI will wait for you, King-sama, you must stay safe,ā Komugi said.
In fact, although Komugi couldnāt see due to her blindness, she can still hear everything clearly.
She could hear the thunder coming from outside, and it wasnāt ordinary.
The palace was under attack and many buildings were destroyed.
However, she couldnāt do anything about it, and could only look forward to playing Chess with Meruem again.
After that, Pouf took Komugi and left with her.
Watching Komugi leave, Meruemās face turned gloomy and his aura exploded from his body.
If those humans didnāt wreak havoc, then he could be still playing chess with Komugi, but they had to interfere and stop the game.
His only thoughts currently were to slaughter the humans.
Pouf flew in the sky with Komugi quickly, as he was eager to return to the kingās side.
This made him unaware that Morel noticed him along with the others outside the palace.
When Pouf flew over the destroyed square, he suddenly stopped as the entire place was covered in smoke, which seemed strange.
The smoke wasnāt a product of flames, and it just appeared there.
When Pouf wanted to pass through, he found that the smoke was like a wall, blocking his way.
Pouf immediately realized that this was not normal smoke, but a Nen ability.
It was here to prevent the Chimera Ants from leaving the Palace.
āThe humans now know Iām here then?ā
Pouf thought, but he didnāt hesitate and turned around and flew to another part of the square.
As the most intelligent of the royal guards, Pouf knew that it wasnāt time to engage in battle with the humans.
Although they were annoying, they werenāt ordinary people, but a capable team of strong Nen users.
It would take time to deal with them, but he had no such time to waste here.
The most urgent task is carrying the Kingās order, to take Komugi to safety.
The smoke covered a large area, which means that the humans prepared for this for a while now.
Pouf wanted to find another way out, but as soon as he moved, he noticed that the white smoke formed a cage and trapped him from going all directions but above.
Seeing this, Pouf snorted coldly.
Pouf calmed down and looked at the sky.
But he suddenly found that the smoke started covering him from above as well, which blocked every path he had.
