Capítulo 176: Chapter 173 : Post-War Review!!
The war was finally over. Germain began to take stock of his gains.
He had personally killed Uvogin and was also involved in Nobunaga's death, so naturally, he received "gifts of resentment" from both of them.
First, he gained a total of 12 points, which he evenly distributed between "Physique" and "Endurance," raising them to 87 and 93 points respectively.
Secondly, he acquired a cold weapon called the "Tachi Thousand Shadows."
Lastly, he received "Pressure." Originally, it should have been 12 points of "Pressure," but due to the effect of the "Master Aura" that Germain now possessed, it was reduced to only 2 points.
This small amount of "Pressure" made it seem excessive when Bisky used her ability, "Magical Beautician Miss Cookie," on him.
Kurapika then used the "Healing Thumb Chain" to treat Germain's injuries, especially his broken ribs.
However, without the "Vows and Limitations" that would allow it to "only be used on himself," he couldn't heal his wounds instantly as he could in the original timeline.
Still, this was enough because Germain had the "Genius Trait" ability, which amplified the healing effects he received.
As expected, after the "Healing Thumb Chain" treatment, Germain felt almost no pain in his chest, only a bit of discomfort.
Bisky, Shizuku, and Kurapika had also sustained injuries, but they were minor. The "Healing Thumb Chain" quickly healed these small wounds.
As for the survivors near the train tracks or in the woods, if there were any seriously injured people, Kurapika would use the "Healing Thumb Chain" to keep them alive.
However, whether they could hold on until the rescuers arrived was up to them.
In fact, people with medical knowledge at the scene had spontaneously formed a medical team to treat the injured passengers who had gathered.
But they were still ordinary people, and they couldn't match the immediate and almost miraculous effect of Kurapika's "Healing Thumb Chain."
Kurapika ended up being the busiest "first aid worker" there.
He didn't aim to save everyone; in this tragic situation, he could only do his best.
Half an hour later, a train finally arrived, rumbling from the far end of the track. It brought a rescue team that had rushed over after hearing about the incident.
Since a large section of the track was destroyed by Uvogin's "Big Bang Impact," the train had to reverse and transport all the survivors back to the previous town's station.
Additionally, rescue workers set up tent camps on the outskirts of the town where the station was, providing supplies to temporarily shelter the survivors.
This was a major incident, and the local mayor came directly to the scene to lead the rescue efforts and comfort the survivors.
However, neither the mayor nor the rescue workers could find the "four heroes" that the survivors spoke of.
Their descriptions of these "heroes" became vague and unclear after being shared too many times.
Moreover, the two bodies that were initially thought to be "Mafia members who hijacked the train" were also taken away by unknown individuals, leading to further casualties at the scene.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Germain, Bisky, Shizuku, and Kurapika quietly left the crowd and walked out of town.
That night, they found a cave on the mountainside and decided to spend the night at its entrance.
Shizuku went to the woods to collect dry firewood, Kurapika fetched clean water from a nearby source, and Germain and Bisky sat on the rocks at the cave entrance, chatting.
This time, Bisky had tied her hair into a neat ponytail, returning to her usual petite and delicate form.
Part of her princess dress had been cut off, slanting higher on the left and lower on the right, giving it a fashionable look.
She began to talk about what had happened over the past few days.
"After receiving your text, Shizuku and I immediately boarded an airship and came here to wait along the road you would take before your cargo ship arrived at the Azian Continent Continent."
"After that, even though we didn't see you right away, once we got your message, we rushed to the train station and ended up on the same train as you."
"However, I didn't expect Hisoka, the second surprise you planned, to actually show up. You mentioned it before, but I was still surprised when he did."
Bisky hadn't actually seen Hisoka arrive, but she knew about it because Germain and Kurapika had discussed the battle on the train earlier.
Germain said calmly, "I was only about 80% sure that Hisoka would come. After all, no one can predict what he'll do."
Bisky rested her chin on her hands.
"An 80% chance is pretty high. It's basically guaranteed unless something unexpected happens... It seems you really trust him on this."
Germain shook his head.
"I only trust my own judgment."
Bisky nodded approvingly.
"Yes. Thanks to that, Hisoka and Saiyu drew Chrollo and Illumi's attention, giving us a chance to take down Uvogin and Nobunaga."
She blinked and added, "Unfortunately, neither of them managed to finish the job. I've looked into it— the front half of the train crashed into the next station and completely overturned. That tells you how intense the fighting was."
"Still, the rescue team didn't find any bodies that matched Chrollo, Illumi, Hisoka, or Saiyu. Instead, there were piles of dead passengers."
"The bodies of Uvogin and Nobunaga were taken away later. It was most likely the work of Chrollo and Illumi."
Germain and Bisky couldn't predict everything. They knew the "Phantom Troupe" was tailing them, but they didn't know where the attack would come from.
The innocent passengers on the train got caught in the chaos, and there was nothing they could do but take out the "Phantom Troupe" members as fast as possible to stop any more casualties.
At this moment, Shizuku returned from the woods.
She was carrying a bundle of dry firewood and placed it in front of Germain, with mud stains visible on her clothes.
Bisky looked at her with a puzzled expression. "Why didn't you use the 'Blinky' to carry the firewood? That way, your clothes wouldn't get dirty."
Shizuku was taken aback for a moment and responded with a simple "Oh."
"Right... I'll remember to use 'Blinky' next time."
She sat down on a nearby rock, mimicking Bisky's pose by resting her face in her hands, and watched Germain's actions.
Germain arranged the dry firewood, along with fallen leaves and grass roots, then lit them using conjured "flamethrower". The small campfire soon brightened up the entrance of the cave.
Bisky, irritated by the thick smoke, frowned and shifted to a different spot. Once he moved, he felt more comfortable.
"In any case, the Phantom Troupe has lost two more key members—important ones."
"Now, there's only the leader, Chrollo, and four others: Illumi, Shalnark, Pakunoda, and Machi. I think it's only a matter of time before the Phantom Troupe is completely finished."
"For you and Kurapika, things will get a lot easier, right? You won't have to worry about the Phantom Troupe coming after you, and Kurapika might finally get his chance for revenge."
"Hmm... Now that I think about it, what's taking Kurapika so long? It's been nearly twenty minutes. Is the water source really that far away?"
