Poison-Eating Healer Chapter 198

Episode 198

Inflatable dolls are commonly seen in front of stores holding events.

Septimum’s body resembles that balloon doll.

It seemed as if there were no organs corresponding to human bones at all, and each movement was as shaky as a mollusk.

It looks like only the shadows are moving separately rather than the body.

Septimum’s body was unique even compared to ordinary demons.

-long time no see.

Septimum greeted me warmly, as if meeting an old friend.

Sitting in front of him was Pyo Hyeok-gyu, the Hunter Association supervisor and Lee Sa-soon’s long-time colleague.

Pyo Hyuk-gyu seemed to have completely lost his mind, just staring blankly at the empty space.

This is because Septimum was controlling Pyo Hyeok-gyu’s body just a moment ago.

After taking control of Pyo Hyeok-gyu’s body, Septimum met Lee Sa-sun and offered him tea.

A car mixed with ‘dark matter’.

-I’m crying.

Lee Sa-soon, whose complexion turned pale, once again poured out black blood.

Septimum watched the scene with great satisfaction.

-Is the performance good? Even in this world that looks like a trash heap, there is something quite useful. This is ‘Stella’ extracted from a monster from another world.

A colorless, odorless liquid had accumulated on Septimum’s palm.

It was the very substance used by Cheon Hae-seon when he carried out an espionage operation at the World Hunter Forum.

It was thanks to ‘Stella’ that it was possible to put dark matter, which looked ominous at first glance, into the car.

‘Stella’ has an excellent effect that can erase traces of any substance.

Lee Sa-sun drank the tea offered by Pyo Hyeok-gyu without any suspicion, and from then on, his body began to rapidly collapse.

“yes… … They… … .”

Lee Sa-sun’s complexion went beyond pale and turned purple.

Just like Yoo Ji-won and Goo-geon, the premonitory symptoms of turning into a chimera appeared.

-We lost a lot in the previous war. There were only twelve Myne left, and she was unable to set foot in a world she should have already ruled.

Septimum walked around in circles between Lee Sa-soon and Pyo Hyuk-gyu, as if teasing them.

-But there are also things I learned from it. For example, how to kill a non-attribute hunter who is difficult to kill. Things like that.

“… … !”

Lee Sa-sun calmed his trembling body and slipped his hand into his jacket pocket.

Out of Septimum’s field of vision, there was a small golden dagger.

It was a sword refined from Merus that was used in the war 10 years ago.

-At first, I thought I could kill it easily. However, unlike other hunters, you are impervious to any energy. It was more troublesome than I thought.

Keep talking like that.

Thinking about this, Lee Sa-sun grasped the handle of the dagger with trembling hands.

-After the war, Quisque (the first) gave me homework. The idea was to find a way to kill humans with no attributes. It was a consideration and a warning not to repeat past failures.

Among the hunters that Septimum took on in the past was Lee Sa-sun.

However, Lee Sa-sun left the scene without any major injuries after confirming the information of the demons.

Considering Quisuke’s temperament, it would not be surprising if he was purged right away.

Fortunately, his life was spared, but Septimum was unable to attain the status of ‘sun’ for 10 years.

‘Sea’ was an honorable position given only to the top six out of a total of twelve horsemen.

Considering Septimum’s abilities, he could have ascended to the position of ‘Sun’ at any time, but he had to remain in the position of ‘Moon’ for 10 years.

The existence right in front of you.

Because of Lee Sa-sun.

Kuuk.

The trembling stops.

Lee Sa-soon felt his condition improving and strengthened the hand holding the dagger.

Even dark matter does not have its original effect on this non-attribute hunter.

Lee Sa-soon was a person who had to overcome even Cheon Hae-seon’s resistance to magical power.

Isasun’s complexion was gradually returning, but Septimum, whether he knew it or not, was engrossed in his story.

-So I thought. How can I effectively subdue this non-attribute hunter? 10 years is a very long time, Lee Sa-soon. Enough to create a method that didn’t exist yet. I finally came to the following conclusion:

Lee Sa-sun decided on the timing to stab the dagger.

When Septimum continues the next sentence.

At that time, I was thinking of inserting the Merus dagger into its mouth.

-We just need to make you ‘like us.’

Phew.

Lightning flash.

It was a lightning-like movement that did not match his warm body.

Lee Sa-sun, whose complexion had suddenly returned, stabbed the dagger with all his might.

-Giggle giggle.

“… … !”

Unfortunately, the place where the dagger was stuck was not Septimum’s mouth, but the top of the sofa.

To begin with, Lee Sa-sun was not a combat hunter, and his speed was inevitably slow due to the dark matter inside his body.

The one who suffered the blow was Lee Sa-sun.

Before she knew it, her heart had been pierced by Septimum’s arm.

-Look at this. A body that didn’t even have a scratch before gets pierced so easily, right?

“… … .”

The hand that pierced Lee Sa-sun’s body clenched and unclenched its fist as if savoring blood.

She couldn’t even scream due to the terrible pain and shock.

-I was right. I thought that if I made you similar to ‘us’ even for a moment, your original shamanism would weaken.

Although he has not become a chimera, he cannot exert the same strength as usual since the material from the demon world has been absorbed.

The purpose was to temporarily change Isa-sun into a state other than ‘no-attribute’.

It’s okay if the effect doesn’t last long.

Because it only takes a moment to kill Lee Sa-sun, who has turned into an ordinary person.

That was Septimum’s conclusion, and now Isa-soon had only a few seconds left.

Isa-sun’s pupils had already blurred for a long time, and Septimum whispered in her ear as if confirming the kill.

-bye. my old friend.

Wow.

As Septimum withdrew his hand, Isasun’s body wriggled violently.

Lee Sa-soon’s blood was splattered all over the office, and Lee Sa-soon fell headfirst to the floor.

thud.

‘I’m sorry… … . every.’

Considering the achievements and status she had accumulated so far, her death was a very meaningless death.

Numerous people passed through Lee Sa-soon’s mind.

Comrades who sacrificed their lives in the war 10 years ago.

And the members of the Five Siders who are still fighting together.

And lastly, the Korean hunters who are probably wandering around the spirit world.

The last people she thought of in the dying embers were two people.

It was Kirill and Cheon Hae-seon.

‘The person who will end this tragedy… … It’s just you… … .’

Lee Sa-sun mustered his last strength and moved his fingers.

If you tell us who killed you, it will be easier to plan your next fight.

Lee Sa-soon left a letter on the floor in bloody ink.

Even as she was dying, she was only thinking about humanity and hunters.

Sigh.

Lee Sa-soon left a letter on the floor.

And that became her last act.

* * *

[This is not all that happens here.]

These were the words Edus left behind when he was defeated by the Imperial Tiger.

Cheon Hae-seon and his colleagues assumed that he was talking about another battle taking place in the spirit world.

But that expectation was completely wrong.

The fact that the best hunters were concentrated in one place meant that the rest of the area became vulnerable.

There were two super-level hunters in the exploration team right now, and the Mavericks could also be said to be the strongest elite group in Korea.

The ‘here’ that Ethers referred to was the entire spirit world, and four ‘Moons’, excluding the eleventh and twelfth, infiltrated the human world.

Just as Septimum assassinated Lee Sa-sun, the demons quietly hunted the hunters in the shadows.

As a result.

An incident that made headlines around the world occurred.

[Shock! Super-level hunters die simultaneously!]

[The identity of the criminal cannot be confirmed. Is there a major crisis for humanity?]

[WHPO refuses all interviews… … . ‘Please wait until the progress is confirmed.’]

[Chairman Lee Sa-soon passed away shortly after returning. A worldwide wave of tributes.]

[Betrayal by a trusted confidant? Pyo Hyeok-gyu, who remained at the scene of the murder, was designated as the prime suspect.]

Bang bang bang bang bang bang.

Dozens of ether bullets are fired simultaneously into the rainy sky.

Beneath it, Lee Sa-sun’s coffin was placed, covered with colorful patterns.

Not only the Irregulars, but also many people gathered to watch her final journey.

“Well… … .”

Maria, who had been in a relationship for a long time, could not stop crying and covered her face with both hands.

The situation of the remaining hunters was no different.

He was a person who devoted himself to his country for a very long time.

He was directly involved in the war against the demons 10 years ago, and was also an active person who formed an underground organization after detecting suspicious signs of WHPO.

‘That guy’s expression doesn’t change at all.’

Vice President of the Hunter Association.

Bae Jeong-dae secretly observed Cheon Hae-seon.

Unlike other hunters who were sobbing or crying, Cheon Hae-seon was just silently looking down at Lee Sa-soon’s coffin.

Then, as if sensing his gaze, Cheon Hae-seon and Bae Jeong-dae’s eyes met.

‘Ugh… … !’

His eyes were as special as his facial expression.

One day, Bae Jeong-dae felt a chill running up his spine.

I sensed incredible anger and venom in his expressionless face.

‘We shouldn’t have to run into each other for a while.’

Bae Jeong-dae thought so and quickly looked away.

It goes without saying that where there is no tiger, the fox becomes king.

Bae Jeong-dae, who defeated these two men a long time ago, will soon become the president of the Hunter Association.

The Irregulars returned to Korea and officially reported the news of Goo Geon’s death.

Since Lee Sa-sun and Gu Geon died at the same time, the domestic situation will quickly fall into chaos.

The forces trying to keep the Glory Guild in check and the forces trying to defend it were revealing this.

‘Is this what it means to be at a moment’s notice?’

The situation was no different in other countries.

Three super-level hunters overseas were killed on the same day, causing worldwide chaos.

The transcendent level hunter, the strongest among mankind, died as if he was being hunted, so he lost his place of support.

Terrorism that is unclear even to whom.

Although Bae Jeong-dae was a power-oriented person, he was not a person completely without responsibility.

He was thinking of various preparations to prepare for the coming war.

Naturally, the Maverick was an essential element of the elements he established.

‘Rest well. As much as you have worked hard so far.’

Cheon Hae-seon still looked at the scene of Lee Sa-sun’s coffin being buried with a calm expression.

As Bae Jeong-dae sensed, the passionate emotions that should have appeared on his face were only swirling in his heart.

‘From the beginning, we were aiming for a diversionary operation. From the time we entered the spirit world.’

If there had been Irregulars around Lee Sa-soon, her death might have been prevented.

Anger against the person who colluded with WHPO once again intensified.

Some people devote themselves to leaving clues until the moment they die, but others betray humanity and collude with demons.

‘It will be a completely different world from now on.’

According to Crassus Dragon, there are elements that create dimensional interference in each world.

In the case of the other world, rare plants were like that, and in the spirit world, the anima flower garden exerts influence on beings from other dimensions.

So, what about humanity?

[Awakened humans. Their power is the source of dimensional interference.]

It was quite a shocking fact that ‘humans’ themselves were the subject of dimensional interference.

And now, more than half of the transcendental hunters who created the strongest dimensional interference have died.

In other words, the conclusion was that the influence of the demon world on humans could be relatively greater.

‘If you’re going to come, come. ‘f*ck you guys.’

Even though he didn’t particularly increase his strength, Cheon Hae-seon’s pupils gradually turned golden.

It was the result of building up Merus in various ways.

‘Especially… … Seventh.’

Thanks to Lee Sa-soon’s pointing out the target, we were able to specify the seventh demon’s ability.

Right now, Cheon Hae-seon didn’t even care about Dudek, who had thrown away his arm.

‘Septimum. ‘I will kill you.’

Suppressing his burning emotions, Cheon Hae-seon turned his back on Lee Sa-sun and moved forward.
