[insert text: Knuckle gets in a mighty blow, but...!]
Knuckle: (...Tch... // That punch should have sent him flying into the distance, but... // 590 in total...!! // Those ten seconds are going to last an age...!!)
[Text: Hakoware takes any additional damage and uses it to calculate interest as time elapses.]
Yupi: Nghh... // .........

2
Yupi: Where is he......?!!! // WHY, YOU.....!!!
[Text: Yupi began to rage, but a glimpse of a shadow through on of his many eyes brought him back to his senses. // Though his right leg had been destroyed... // Shoot had used Yupi's lapse to stand himself atop his own arm. // Though he had never actually tried it before, Shoot held a conviction that this was his "ultimate technique".]

3
[Text: Likewise, he had no particular reason for covering up his right eye. // He was simply caught up in the flow of the power brimming up within him. // Feeding on adversity... // Shoot soared.]

4
[Text: His terrific speed and vigour... // ...succeeded in shifting Yupi's attention to his defences for several seconds. // All with the aim...]

5
[Text: ...of restoring another!!!]
Morau: (Knuckle... // Shoot...)

6
Morau: (Once this is all over... // We're gonna drown ourselves in good drink and get drunk out of our minds. // After all, normally you'd hate it if I tried to embrace you with all my might...)
[Text: The huge quantities of dust that had been kicked up by both sides allowed Morau to spreading his aura throughout the palace, and grasp the situation more clearly.]
Morau: (...so I can't think of any other way!!)
[Text: Pufu was in the throne room...]

7
[Text: Gon and Killua had changed direction as soon as they had dodged Yupi's attack. // Their goal - to leap from the second floor of the right-hand tower directly to the third floor of the central tower - the location of the throne room. // They overtook Ikarugo, who had headed straight for the elevator to the basement from the moment the invasion had begun. // With his ability to control dead bodies as though they were his own, "Living Dead Dolls", Ikarugo had gained the advantage of compound eyes, and successfully evaded the Dragon Dive unharmed.

[no text just overview]

9
[Text: And then in the corner of Killua's vision... // He saw two soldier ants.]

10
Killua: (They're standing... // right in Ikarugo's path...!!)

11
[Text: In that instant... // Killua turned at a run.]
Killua: (What the hell am I doing?! // Am I crazy?!)
[Text: Killua, who had been more adamant than any of the others... // that each person must concentrate upon his own task, deal with his own obstacles.]

12
[Text: His reason was suspended entirely.]
Ikarugo: (Killua?! // Why is he heading towards the elevator...?!)
[Text: But he had not fallen into a panic; quite the opposite. // His body was acting under a pure logic.]

13
[Text: Keeping his aura under perfect control, wasting as little as possible, // ...swiftly... // ...he struck... // ...and with such precision...]

14
[Text: The combat capacity of the two soldier ants, // as well as any action they may have taken, was instantaneously eliminated. // Watching this scene were Ikarugo... // ...and one more ant.]

15
[Text: Meanwhile... // Seeing the cloud of smoke engulfing the throne room... // Gon understood at once what it must mean.]
[insert text: His only goal is to take Pitou's head!!!]
