Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 322 Kill the Benefactor or Let the Enemy Go
Germain slowly savored what Netero had felt like all those years after he reached the pinnacle of the Six Continents.

After every victory, Netero would habitually reach out, hold the loser's hand, shake it gently, whisper comfort, and say something like "the future is yours".

But when will this so-called "future" come?
Wait until Netero gets old, or wait until a new talent like German emerges once in a century, or both?
The "future" by that time might have been replaced by a new generation of people. Decades passed in the blink of an eye, and those who were defeated by Netero aged before Netero.

——"Hunter Badge: Gift of Resentment"——

"Grim Dragon King's Resentful Memory"

"Transmission Lantern"

Germann obtained the "Grudge Memory of the Gray Dragon King" from Zailo. Together with the previous "Grudge Memory of the Stag Beetle", he now has two "Grudge Memories".

They are disposable consumables that can fulfill a similar function to "mind beasts", so German did not use them in this crusade.

Then came the "Teleportation Lantern". He already had three idle "Teleportation Lanterns" in his hand, and this time the "Silver Triangle" finally had a new reaction.

The "transmission lantern" of the "Silver Triangle" is connected by three silver-white straight lines, and an eye is opened in the center.

Germain understood how to use it.

By consuming three "Teleportation Lanterns", you can drive the "Silver Triangle" and choose one of the two options to activate its effect.

The first option is to reset the cooldown countdown immediately.

After Germain returns to Greed Island this time, theoretically he will have to wait 80 days before he can use the "Teleportation Lantern" again, but using this method, he can be teleported immediately.

Of course, the principle of doubling the cooling time is still implemented. When Germain and his team use this method to reach the Dark Continent, they will have to wait 160 days before they can use the "normal teleportation lantern" again.

The second option is to temporarily expand the number of teleportation members to six.

Currently, the number of people for each teleportation is limited to four. Using this method, the "Teleportation Lantern" can teleport six people to their destination at a time.

No matter which one you choose, it will be beneficial for German now.

Of course, he prefers the first option because he doesn't want to wait until April this year to go to the Dark Continent.

After stopping looking at the Hunter Badge, Germann raised his head and looked at the people who were still fighting.

Except for Xiaodi, everyone he looked at couldn't help but feel a creepy feeling.

It was like the sword of Damocles hanging in the air, pointing at oneself.

No one wants to be killed helplessly like that.

Kurapika couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Fortunately, the teacher is on my side. If he was still a member of the Phantom Troupe, it would be a terrible disaster.

Those who are frightened now mostly belong to the demon camp.

After Zai Luo, Zazan and the "direct guards" were killed one after another, the demons no longer had the "restraints and shackles" that urged them to move forward.

The violent, fearless mood was fading fast.

The fear of death and the instinct for survival made them make choices more like a living being. They pretended to resist for a while, but then began to collapse.

They fled like the receding tide, disappearing into the darkness, hiding their bodies and sounds, revealing the devastation and corpses on the ground.

The people of Meteor Street couldn't catch up. In fact, they didn't have the energy to pursue them anymore. They themselves had suffered heavy casualties, and holding on to their base camp was already their limit.

However, this was still the biggest victory in the past few nightmarish months, like the light of dawn cutting through the darkness.

There were jubilation, celebration, relief, whistles, applause and cheers, but at a certain moment, they all miraculously subsided.

Because they all realized a problem one after another.

Sooner or later, the people of Meteor Street recognized the two "traitors" who came to reinforce them in distress, and decided that the final victory was achieved.

The cursed traitor actually saved the people of Meteor Street. So, how should we deal with this situation now?
Everyone looked at each other, and then their eyes were focused on the knight who was helped up by Sheila, and the silent Machi and Paknotta.

They are the only three remaining members of the Phantom Troupe, and are the top leaders second only to the elders of Meteor City who are trying to stop the Chimera Ant invasion.

In any case, they are the most qualified to lead everyone in making choices and deciding how to deal with the complex situation before them.

Kill the benefactor or let the enemy go?

If you want to kill him, how do you kill him? Everyone saw the terrible bombardment just now. The ground is still deeply imprinted with marks, and the remains of Zaiyi Luo are still there.

Is there really a way to deal with this monster? Are we really going to get into trouble with a monster more terrifying than Zaylo? Everyone is full of doubts and uneasiness.

The most radical extremists had been wiped out in the war with Zaylo's forces, and the remaining ones just wanted to take a breather and did not want to continue the war.

Most of the things that the people in Meteor Street could think of, Xiake, Machi and Paknotta must have also thought of. They all frowned and pursed their lips.

Either order everyone to attack together, completely exhaust all Meteor Street combat troops, complete an impossible mission, and drag Meteor Street into hell... or give up revenge...

What a bitter choice.

The knight turned his head and saw pleading in Sheila's eyes, hesitation in Machi and Paknotta's eyes, and fear in the eyes of the other people in Meteor Street.

He sighed again.

Being a rational person, he made his own decision in his heart almost immediately.

We can't fight any further. If we continue, we won't achieve any other goals and will only bring destruction to Meteor Street.

This is completely contrary to the original intention of the Phantom Troupe.

Even at the moment, the knight has a lot of things to worry about.

Although the "Ant King" Zailo and the "Ant Queen" Zazan are dead, there are still a large number of demons wandering in Meteor Street.

How should we use this remnant army to clean up and expel so many demons? How should we rebuild Meteor Street afterwards? We also have to face the pressure from the outside...

Just thinking about it made the knight feel his scalp tingling, and the wound on his chest that had just been sutured by Machi began to hurt again.

However, even though they don't want to fight, the other side may not want to stop. After all, now is the best time to completely wipe out the Phantom Troupe.

Although German had put away his sword, the calm manner in which he walked towards them made everyone understand that no matter what they did, they could not get around this man.

No matter how much they planned or how strong their spirits were, they could not escape one reality - that the decision was actually in German's hands.

Many things, once they are revealed, will seem ridiculous and vulnerable.

It is Germain who can decide whether to continue the war.

At this time, no one expected that the person who broke the stalemate was Xiaodi, who was half-squatting on the ground.

She tidied up the old priest's body and roughly pieced him together, then looked up, adjusted her glasses, and found March among the crowd.

"You used to be the undertaker of Meteor Street, right? Help me clean up the old priest. I hope he can be buried more like a human being."

Machi glanced at Germann, then looked at Xiaodi, her lips trembling for a while.

"He is not only your benefactor, but also our benefactor. Even if you don't tell me, I know what to do. We will make proper arrangements for our deceased companions."

Xiaodi blinked: "Oh, that's good."

Neither Machi nor Paknotta next to her knew what to say for a moment... "That's good", is that all you want to say?

Can't you see the tension in front of you? Why can you feel so comfortable asking us, your theoretical enemies, to do things for you?

The knight covered the slightly painful wound under the bright red bandage. After thinking for a long time, he was about to speak when he heard a noisy sound coming from the direction of the base camp.

For some reason, the elderly, the weak, women and children who were staying in the underground air-raid shelter rushed out one after another, and like Moses parting the sea, they consciously made way for them.

They looked at the corpses scattered all over the ground, their eyes filled with worry, fear, and confusion. They still did not understand the current situation, and still did not know that Zai Luo and Zazan were dead.

When they saw the figure slowly emerging from the crowd, Xiake, Machi and Paknotta all came to their senses and their hearts tightened involuntarily.

Kurapika took back the silver chain. He could clean the blood stains on it by resetting the materialization, but he was obviously not in the mood to do so now.

He grasped the silver chain, letting the blood flow onto his knuckles.

After seeing Xiake, Machi and Paknotta, he realized that there were not many waves in his heart. When he saw Kuroro Luciro, this became even clearer.

He actually came to complete a mission. Like the teacher said, revenge is important, but it should not be everything in one's life.

Kuroro was sitting in a creaking wheelchair, pushed out by the frightened old woman behind him. The night wind blew past, lifting the blanket covering him.

The blanket fluttered in the wind, removing the last bit of cloth covering Kuroro's body.

He lost his left palm and his entire right arm, and the area below his knees was empty, which was why he never participated in the war.

Kuroro's Nen ability is still there, and after months of training, he can fight like the Sky Arena trio (Kito, Beowulf, and Shadaisou).

However, it was difficult for him to return to his previous level, especially after losing both hands, which made it extremely difficult for him to use "Thief's Ultimate".

However, his eyes were calm, and there was no sign of self-pity in them.

Even in his current state, Meteor Street still needs him, so he handed over the Phantom Troupe to the Knight a few months ago, and became the new elder of Meteor Street.

Facts have proved that his decision was correct. His status as leader of the Phantom Troupe for many years allowed him to successfully join the ranks of Meteor City elders.

It was also because he was in the Council of Elders that many meaningless actions that were intended to target Zaiyi Luo's forces and were almost destructive to both sides were avoided.
