Chapter 546
“...”
A heavy silence descended. Both Se-Hoon and Gregory were veterans who had witnessed countless tragedies on countless battlefields, yet they still found themselves utterly speechless at the sight before them.
A grotesque mass of flesh—one that was seemingly created solely as a mockery of the human race in its entirety. Just the look of it was so twisted that it went beyond malice into pure insanity.
In the end, Gregory had to force himself to speak.
“What... is that?”
His expression was grim. How could something like that come to dwell inside a human heart?
“It’s a mutated heart,” Se-Hoon answered calmly, wrapping up his examination of the corpse.
“Mutated...?”
“Yes. For some reason, this person’s body underwent a mutation; it was during that process that an organ like this formed inside the heart.”
It... was created internally? Not transplanted? Gregory swallowed dryly.
“Could it be a mutation caused by demon aura?”
“No, judging by how it looks... this is more likely a mutation caused by mana.”
