Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 10

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 10]

“…”

“Someone is coming,” Gladius warned Ciel.

Ciel could vaguely perceive the activity and silence of the demon. Before, he felt the demon jumping up and down in his soul, but now it was quiet and silent, in a passive or dormant state.

The only reason is that the demon hunter is here.

Ciel sees Gephne walking through the forest, approaching the Camp Stone Ruins.

“Miss Gephne!” Charles was very excited when he saw his senior.

Gephne, in her hunter’s cloak, with messy hair, blood-stained coat, and seemingly wounded, looked at Ciel with a complicated expression.

“What happened?” she asked.

Charles was stunned for a moment.

Should I say a demon entered my body?

“Everyone…” Charles replied, “…Monsieur Etienne is dead, Dalton is dead, and Valenne is dead.”

“Then how did you survive?” Gephne drew her sword and approached Ciel, “Who the hell are you?”

“No…Mr. Etienne destroyed the Blade Demon with Yaffen flames.” Am I lying?

Should I be lying?

“Blade Demon…it…”

“Dead? Banished?” Gephne pressed. “Charle, tell me! Where is the Blade Demon!”

“The Blade Demon is… with me,” Ciel admitted painfully. “It entered my body, but it…”

“Are you possessed?” Geoffne took the sword in her hand, clenched her hands behind her back, and pointed the tip of the sword at Ciel.

“…” Charles was silent.

“I’m sorry.” Gephne looked at Ciel sadly. “We’ve come all the way to the point where eight hunters have entered the forest, and now it’s just you and me. If you haven’t been mind-controlled by demons, you should give up.”

“Give up…what?” Charles found himself stammering.

“Give up your life… I know it’s hard for you, you have to die, and then I’ll drive the Blade Demon out of your body and send it back to hell.”

“I…don’t want to die…” Ciel said with difficulty, “…can’t we go back to the Hunter’s Sanctuary? There must be a way, there must be a way to get it… ‘get it out’ from within me, right?”

“Wrong.” Gladiu said in Ciel’s heart, “There is no way to take me away from you. We are now in a relationship of life and death.”

what should I do?

“Kill her.” Gladiu kept tempting Ciel. “She’s hurt. You can deal with her. I’ll help you. Do you want to die? You just came back to life.”

“I don’t know, Ciel.” Geoffne walked up to Ciel. “Soon, relax.”

Ciel’s eyes widened, and Gephne suddenly thrust her sword at Ciel.

pain!

Charles felt his liver being hit, and the pain made him grin, and he staggered back.

Gephne looked at her sword with a complicated expression. The tip of the sword had been dulled by the demonic power and turned into a rounded shape, otherwise the sword would have pierced the Ciel.

“You really turned into a demon.” Gephne threw the blunt sword away with an angry expression, “Nuin is sharp!”

The sharp silver light pierced towards Ciel, and the emerald necklace on Ciel’s neck shone with dazzling light, resisting part of the effect of the spell. Ciel was stabbed by a huge force, and a bleeding gap appeared in his chest, and he was stabbed. fell to the ground.

“Uh-” Ciel fell to the ground, covering his wound, his face pale, should he fight back?

Fighting back at Gephne?

Does he have to do this to survive?

“Rebel her! Kill her!” Gladiu urged frantically in Ciel’s heart, “Kill her! Do you want to die? Do you want to die! If you want to live, she must die, and you can’t live if she lives!”

Gephne rushed over with a single stride, pressed down on Ciel’s body, and stretched out her hand to hold Ciel’s neck tightly.

“I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry…Ciel…because we’re demon hunters, we have to do this…” Gephne couldn’t stop crying.

Charles tried his best to breathe, but his trachea was compressed, and no air could get into his lungs anyway, forcing his eyes to widen and bloodshot.

“Struggle! Struggle! She’s weak, you’re strong, go kill her! Live! She fell into the trap I set in the forest, and she’s dying!” Gladiu was about to go crazy, desperately urging Charles.

Ciel stood up violently, and as expected, Gephne had reached the end of the force, and was easily freed by Ciel.

Gephne was spitting out blood, and now Ciel could see it, there was an amazing scratch on her body that cut through her chest and showed bone deep.

“The blade I arranged cut her down, ha…” Gladiu said contemptuously. “She’s dying. She can’t deal with you, let alone destroy me. We win, Ciel.”

She stood up with all her might, wiped the blood from the corners of her mouth, then hunched over, covering her wound, and stumbled over to Master Frederick’s body.

Gephne knelt on the ground, supporting her body with her hands, blood dripping from her mouth, tears streaming down her face, sobbing continuously, tears mixed with blood falling to the ground.

“You are injured, you must…” Charles gasped.

She didn’t live long. I killed her. I should have destroyed the blade demon and completed the hunter’s mission once and for all…

Jeffrey paled.

“Are you a charr, or a demon?” she sounded weak.

“Charle.”

“This is the sanctuary key.” Geoffne took out a sterling silver key from Federico’s arms, “Don’t lose it.”

Charles’ hands trembled.

“Come here and give me the crossbow,” Geoffne said wearily.

“Don’t listen to her, she wants to shoot you.” Gladiu was very anxious.

Charr found his scattered wooden crossbow from the ground, which survived the impact.

He filled the crossbow and handed the crossbow to Gephne, and even if Gephne really wanted to shoot him, he didn’t have any complaints.

“Listen.” Geoffne looked at the clearing and repeated a spell three times. Every time she recited it, a silver light flickered, and a dent appeared on the ground.

Charles felt bad, but didn’t know how to cry.

“Did you hear that?” Geoffrey asked softly.

“Nuin’s edge.” Ciel whispered, but there was no fourth imprint on the ground, damn, damn—why I can’t remember clearly—

“You’ll get used to it later. Just, never let it control you, promise me, okay?”

“I swear.”

Jeffrey raised the crossbow.

“You can no longer blame yourself.”

She fired at her own throat, the strings vibrated.

Chapter 13 Repentance

Charles finds Etienne’s bag next to the fire, from which he finds the witch’s poultice and bandages.

The first thing to do is to drink. The old hunter was addicted to alcohol, and Ciel also learned to drink.

He took out an unopened bottle of Kings’ spirits and tasted it. The taste was pungent and spicy, and he felt his tongue burning just after taking a sip.

Just to commemorate the master.

Charles forced himself to take a sip.

The effect was immediate, he quickly felt a little confused, a place in his head began to hum and the gongs and drums were clamoring, but on the other hand, his pain was lessened, and the wound was not as painful as before.

Then rinsed with salt water, and Ciel took out the clay bottle and poured the salt water in it over the wound.

Hiss—the pain started from the wound, rushed to and fro, and swept through his whole body. He couldn’t hold the bottle in pain, so he quickly put it on the ground.

“It hurts…” He quickly opened the jar containing the witch’s ointment, dug out the purple paste with his fingers, and smeared it on the wound.

Then he took out the bandage and wrapped it around his belly again and again, and finally tied it in a knot.

After doing all this, he leaned back and fell asleep with the strength of the wine.

After waking up, it was already daytime, and the sun was shining in the woods.

But Ciel wasn’t there yet. He stood up, and all around was devastated. Seven or eight crows pecked at the corpses of Warren, Dalton, and Gephne. Ciel drove them away, watching from the branches in the distance, waiting at any time. opportunity.

It was almost impossible to bury them, and Ciel couldn’t let them be exposed, so he decided to burn them.

Master Etienne was the worst. His body was gone when the flames of Yafen were detonated. Every wisp of dust on the grass could be fragments of a hunter’s bones. Ciel felt sad when he thought of this.

“It hurts? Why is it sad.” Gladiu’s voice sounded in Ciel’s heart, still rough and hoarse.

“Because I can’t avenge him.”

“Ha, if you want to take revenge, you have to commit suicide, wonderful problem. Rather than dwell on the past and the dead, it’s better to have a calm mind and live a good life.” Gladiu was triumphant.

Ciel gathered more branches and made two or three trips to build a tall pyre on the ground.

He dragged Dalton’s mutilated body and placed it on the pyre.

“He is very stupid. He is walking in the forest angrily alone. How can I let him go?”

“Dalton just wanted to go home.”

Ciel found Valen’s body and searched for the relics on his body. Only when he took Valen’s things, Ciel did not feel guilty, because Valen deserved it.

He finally found a worthy purse, as well as Warren’s sword.

Valen is very confident in his teleportation spell, so he did not bring other tools and sundries.

Charles lifted his body and threw it on the pyre.

“He wants to cooperate with me. He is much more cheerful than you. As soon as he opens his mouth, he hopes to share his power with me and make him the most powerful demon hunter. You should really learn from him.” Gladiu commented.

“However, cooperating with you didn’t save his life, and he still died.”

Ciel picked up Frederick’s corpse, the master hunter’s chest was pierced, and his expression was horrified, which made Ciel feel even more sad.

“All achievements and ambitions are unknown,” Gladiu whispered.

“we are the same.”

And finally the corpse of Gephne, the crossbow bolt pierced through her throat, she didn’t seem to die peacefully.

Charles picked up her body and slowly placed it on the fire.

“She is kind and vulnerable.”

“Shut up.”

He knocked out sparks with a flint and flint and ignited the fire, and the fire burned and the smoke rose into the sky.

The flames roared on the piles of branches, the flames scurried, and as soon as they touched the flesh and blood of these demon hunters, they began to entangle, and the flames sizzled.

Ciel was very sad. Eight demon hunters entered the Dusk Forest to hunt demons, and seven died in battle, leaving him alone.

“I used to be… scared,” Ciel said to himself. “I was scared, very scared. I started to be scared when I entered this forest. When I saw Denver died, I was so scared that I didn’t dare to move. .But after seeing the seniors fighting, I’m no longer afraid.”

Charles put his hand on his heart.

“Now… the demon we’re going to hunt, lives in my spirit… I turned my back on everyone and lived with the demon… I’m so sorry…”

He sighed deeply.

“The only thing I can do is to make amends for my sins. I have made up my mind to become a true demon hunter, rest in peace, seniors…”

Charles clenched his fists.

“I decided to become the best demon hunter.”

Nails pierced into flesh.

“Get them out of this world and let them all go back to where they should be. Use all my energy for the rest of my life to hunt down demons and make up for what I’ve done.”

“Do you really think so? My kind is difficult to deal with.” Gladiu said contemptuously.

“I want you to repent to them.”

“Confession?” Gladiu was puzzled.

For the first time in his life, Ciel bargains with the devil.
