The Greatest Man in the World Hides His Power - The Greatest Man in the World Hides His Power chapter 8

8 – The Peaceful Way – 2

“This looks like a ledger.”

As she checked the ledger, her expression gradually darkened. She trembled as if suppressing the desire to reach for the sword at her waist as much as she could.

“These bastards…!!”

“Wah. Whoa. Let’s not get excited.”

I comforted Elan. There’s nothing good about her being unnecessarily excited. After a moment of fuss, she let out a sigh and went outside and pulled something from her bag.

– CEE! Pop!!

Is it a firecracker?

Soldiers rushed to this place shortly after the red streaks of light were created in the sky. When they saw the fallen people, they were embarrassed and asked Elan about the situation.

“Catch and throw them all away! They are human traffickers!”

“Ugh… Recently, I was investigating a missing person among the vagrants and refugees… It was these guys! Got it!”

“Ah. I need to refit the limbs. Could you wait a minute?”

“Uh… Who are you?”

A soldier asked a question and I looked at Elan. She let out a small sigh.

“It’s Cheonyoung, who will be working with us from now on. More on that later.”

“Okay. Thank you!”

“Hmm. I’d like to ask you to take care of me too. Let’s see. Let’s start with this one…”

– Crump!

“aaah!!”

When I put my arms and legs back on, I scream.

Actually, this hurts a lot.

But what can I do? Wouldn’t it be better to live with corpse satisfaction while being sick for a few days rather than living with corpse dissatisfaction for the rest of your life?

I don’t know how the verdict will come out because I’m a human trafficker.

Anyway, after setting arms and legs for the rest of the gangsters, I watched as they were dragged away and told Elan.

“Then can we go to the sewage treatment plant?”

“Uh… Uh, right?”

I must have forgotten. As if she was talking about something, she stared at me, then suddenly came to her senses and nodded her head. And what she showed was a black key.

“I need this to get into the sewage treatment plant.”

“Okay! Let’s go!!”

So, with Elan, I headed to the sewage treatment plant. Entering a building near the center of town, I saw a set of stairs leading down to the basement.

There is a lot of dust here and there.

“If you go down these stairs, there is a door leading to the sewage treatment plant. I usually stop patrol until here.”

She pulled out her torch and went ahead. When she reached the door, walking with a torch in the dark, she put her key in and turned it.

-Kikiiik…

The lock is released and the thick iron door opens with a metal sound.

“How did they get here?”

The iron door is quite thick and the lock looks complicated. I asked, looking behind her door, and Elan shrugged her lightly.

“Well? A master key that alchemists can use, or maybe an unlocking spell?”

Saying nothing, she raised the torch. The inner passages illuminated by the flames were filled with deep darkness.

“Be careful from here on out. It’s easy to get lost in the sewage treatment plant by stepping in the wrong way.”

“You should be careful with that. Is Elan okay?”

“Ha ha ha! Don’t underestimate the elves’ senses!”

.

.

.

“…….”

“…….”

Where did the elves’ senses go?

I was already circling the third marked spot. I stared at Elan, and she was puzzled, then glanced at me.

“…Why?”

“I’m asking just in case… Are you an elf?”

“No, that’s right!!”

I let out a small sigh at her puzzled response. If that’s the case, then I’ll have to step in here.

I tried to express my feelings. A rapidly spreading sense of humor was recognizing the surroundings and pointing the right way.

“Let’s go.”

Perhaps because she wandered her way, Elan seemed to have lost her confidence quite a bit.

Um… It’s normal people to cheer you on at times like this, right?

“Elan. Don’t be so sullen. Isn’t that possible in life? Wait.”

I stopped talking and raised my hand. She also drew her sword slowly, as if she felt it.

I heard footsteps.

– Jiik, Kung, Jiik, Kung.

The sound of something being dragged. Elan and I stared into the darkness.

I could see it there.

“Kill… Y… Y… Give me…”

“……”

“Chimera…”

A human head was exposed in a huge mass of flesh. Several human arms were attached to the flesh and moved like legs, and on top of the flesh was something that looked like another monster’s head, with its long snout wide open.

It’s a terrible look. And, it’s a sad look.

“The person who became a chimera… Can’t be saved?”

“…I guess so…”

I see.

It was the same with those who were captured and reformed by the Demonic Cult. There is only one salvation that can be given to them. It was just to end that unfortunate life.

“It’s almost as if you’re already dead. I’ve also heard from Lady Cecil, who attends the academy… In the chimera state, the body completely dies, and the remains of the mind repeat only the last thing it did.”

Then the owner of that face must have wanted death instead of being able to overcome the terrible pain.

“…I can’t leave it alone.”

“Yes. I think so too.”

“I’ll finish that. I don’t think I’m a proper chimera, so I don’t need your help.”

Elan closed her eyes and walked slowly. Her arms move and she looks like she’s about to attack, but she just struggles in the air.

She drew the sword slowly and swung it swiftly, until the chunk of her flesh split in half.

“May the goddess save you…”

With her eyes closed, she watched Elan calmly speak.

It’s soft and easy to tease, but I like the picture because it’s definitely an elf. As she got down on one knee and closed her eyes from the fallen Chimera’s face, she spoke earnestly.

“Cheonyeong. Can you lend me your strength?”

“Of course. I feel bad about this too.”

“Okay. Then let’s go.”

Naturally, my steps quickened. From quick steps to running. Moving quickly, we arrived at what appeared to be a laboratory. And.

“Kehehehe…!”

Standing with a man who was becoming a chimera was a man in a black robe looking at us.

“The test object has appeared again. Elpra. Isn’t that bad?”

The man spoke calmly and raised the staff in his hand. At the same time, another door opens.

– Kill me…

– Kill…

– Kill me…

Three chimeras. Unlike before, they have a lot of menacing energy.

I asked Elan when I saw the black alchemist calling out the chimeras and going into another room.

“How do I do it? I think we’ll have to split it in two. You don’t know what else he’s going to do?”

Chimera, or Black Alchemist.

Elan thought for a moment, then grabbed her knife.

“…I’m in charge of the Chimera.”

“Then I’ll go inside. Don’t get hurt.”

“Ha. What do you look at me for? Don’t you get hurt?”

Seeing her running towards her chimeras, I made my way to another room with light steps.

“Can one elf handle three chimeras?”

“Well, I’m a little nervous.”

“Don’t worry. The anxiety. I’ll take it all away. By death.”

“Hmm…”

I looked at the black alchemist. Those desolate eyes that seemed to have no value other than their own purpose resembled the eyes of the demonic cultists I had dealt with before.

So it seems to remind me of the damn past.

This feels bad.

Still, I have to do what I have to do.

“Let me ask you just in case. Would you like to pay for your sins and work for peace with me?”

“Will you do it? You madman? Peace? The peace of a person who freezes to death? hahahahaha. If there’s anything like that, I’ll go ahead and get rid of it!!”

What’s up?

I slowly opened my eyes and looked at him, and he started preparing to throw the vials he was holding in his hands.

-Click.

I put my hand on the hilt of the sword. Then, he slowly drew his sword and swung it twice into the air.

“I’ll show you what a black alchemist’s battle is like!!”

“Only the mouth survived.”

“…What?”

I put the sword in, and at that moment, red lines are engraved on both arms of the curious guy.

“Uh…?”

As if he finally felt the shock, he panicked and tried to move his arms. However, it doesn’t move. No. Moved

– Took, Took.

Down. As his arms, neatly cut to the bone, fell to the floor and rolled, he tried to scream, but he couldn’t.

– Puff!!

The guy who was hit by the fist shot collapsed.

There is a lot of blood flowing from the amputated arms.

At this rate, he would die of blood loss, but I can’t let him die like that.

I stopped the bleeding by divination and looked down at the fainting guy and said.

“I don’t like it when a worm stands stiffly in front of me and dares to insult the peace.”

So he won’t just kill.

I left the black alchemist who passed out and looked inside. Judging from the fact that there are a lot of unknown medicine bottles and experiment tools, it seems that the experiment was conducted here.

Looking around, I found a book lying on the desk and took a quick look.

August 17th

The experiment is going smoothly. In the case of a Chimera created by combining a human and a monster through ‘that’ method, it has a more outstanding mind than the existing Chimera. In other words, the story that manipulation of the mental system is possible.

The preparations to achieve the Black Alchemist’s secret wish are progressing step by step.

August 24th

What’s wrong? The chimera itself is being done wonderfully, but nothing more is possible.

Ingredients. We need more ingredients. You have to experiment.

September 2

The results are starting to show. One of the test subjects was a follower of an evil spirit. The believer’s heart was stained black, and when he used it to create a chimera, a chimera with a stronger output than usual was completed.

With a little more, a little more, I will be able to achieve our long-cherished wish.

A research journal and diary?

I closed the book while looking around at the book, which was filled with things like various combination methods and experiment results.

The hearts of those who follow evil spirits are stained black.

…Is this similar to the demons?

The hearts of the Demonic Cultists, who served the Heavenly Demon and learned vicious magic, were stained black.

And in the Demonic Cult, when they died, they used their hearts to create monsters.

Is it a coincidence that the methods of the black alchemist and the magicians here are similar? Or is it inevitable?

“What?! Are you done already?!”

At that time, I quickly changed my expression when I heard a voice from behind. Slowly turning my head, I saw Elan, who was covered in blood.

She didn’t pay any attention to the red blood clots clinging to her beautiful blonde hair.

“Did you catch all three already?”

“I’m just a chimera. And I’m strong too. What the hell did you think of me?”

I was looking at you as a pretentious old man…

I’ll get angry if I say that, so let’s just keep quiet.
