The narrative then transitioned solely to the third prince, who was seen donning a device designed to nullify nen influence, which would remain invisible to the naked eye. If an individual came within. 6 meters of a target, they would be subjected to the adversary’s aura, and the closer they ventured, the higher the risk of death. Historically, it appeared that no one had survived the device’s impact. Consequently, the third prince aimed to terminate the ninth prince.

Next, the spoilers shifted to the fourth prince, Tserriednich, in his chamber, where Salkov assisted with his nen training, noting his rapid progress. Although the precise nature of his spirit beast remained unclear, Tserriednich was eager to continue his nen development right after lunch.

The spoilers then shifted focus to Melody and Kacho, who were examining an image of a woman marked with an unusual scar on her back.

Shortly afterward, when Kaiser joined them, they began discussing the dynamics surrounding the seventh and sixth princes. Even though these princes seemed inactive, it was clear they were meticulously observing and calculating, rather than being passive. Kaiser advised that they should remain vigilant to counter any potential threats. For the time being, their priority was to safeguard Kurapika and strategize for any upcoming confrontations.

The narrative continued with Kaiser and his companions escorting the 11th Prince Fugetsu Hui Guo Rou to the first prince, Benjamin Hui Guo Rou. Upon encountering Fugetsu, Benjamin noticed her spiritual aura fluctuating and insisted that close attention be paid to her to catch any shifts in her aura.

With their plan instigated, Kaiser and his team began devising a battle strategy. Despite their level of preparation, the risk of casualties loomed large. Kurapika’s strategies had proven effective until now, but the situation was fluid. The next steps of Prince Tserriednich were deemed especially pivotal. The spoilers for Hunter X Hunter chapter 402 conclude with Kurapika actively seeking clues to formulate a strategy that would keep him a step ahead, averting potential disasters.
