Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 101

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 101]

Suddenly, Hope jumped from the ceiling and hit Madden in the face.

“Wow ah ah ah ah!” Madden screamed and kept struggling. Hope scratched him with his claws while shouting. Madden was knocked to the ground, the torches were scattered, and the harpoon in his hand was dead and alive. Unable to wave, he screamed again and again, almost turning into crying.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhly

“Come here!” Charles reprimanded.

“Ah-ah…” Madden gasped, picked up the torch, touched his face, there was a scratch on it, “Charle – Lord Charles! There are monsters!”

With an indifferent expression on his face, Ciel walked over and took him up.

“What’s wrong? What’s wrong with me?” Madden was puzzled. “Trial…”

“It’s over, you’re out, you didn’t pass.” Ciel just shook his head.

“How? Your lord! Give me another chance!” Madden begged.

“You have to be strong, strong, stronger than all mortals.” Ciel treats recruits with high demands, “You are not ready to be a real demon hunter.”

“…” Madden felt ashamed.

“Keep all the content of the trial secret, or my last appreciation for you will be lost.”

“…Absolutely.” Madden sighed.

Charles took Madden back to the dining room on the ground floor, and people looked curiously at Madden’s embarrassed appearance.

“What’s with that scream?” Ines asked, “You were attacked? By what?”

“Ah… Did it succeed?” Luo Dan looked at Madden.

“No, boy, no.” Madden bowed his head.

“Luo Dan, go to the doctor with him and see his face.” Xia Er ordered.

“Okay.” Luo Dan and the lost Madden left together.

With Madden’s failure ahead, Ines and Hugo looked at each other with anxiety in their eyes.

“Hugo, it’s your turn,” Ines said.

Charles asked Hugo for advice.

Hugo was silent for a long time, obviously uneasy, turned the sword around in his hand, and then nodded vigorously.

“Take me to the trial, my lord.”

Good recruits are always hard to find, and Ciel can’t help thinking that people seem ready to deal with demons, but in reality there are always omissions.

It is a good thing for them to expose problems during the trial. Once they are corrected and overcome, they will definitely grow in the future.

Hugo walked into the underground prison with sword and torch, and Charles led him into the long dark corridor.

“The enemy is in here?” Hugo asked tentatively.

Sharmer was silent, letting him judge for himself, and only said: “Go to the end.”

Hugo lit the torches warily everywhere, and walked against the wall, his eyes stopped for a moment before the burnt and damaged doors, Hope took this opportunity to attack, it ran quickly against the ground, from the torch-lighted door. The blind spot was approaching, and then he quickly pounced on him.

When Hugo heard the sound, he swung his sword at Hope, his forearm was slashed, and he roared, his blood-red eyes fixed on Hugo, and Hugo hurriedly took two steps back.

“What am I going to do? Master?” He actually asked this question.

Ciel didn’t say anything, just watched his movements silently. Hugo stubbornly confronted Hope, swinging his sword in the air, trying to distract Hope with a fancy feint, it seemed to be disturbed and bounced on the spot. Yes, and then abruptly approached Hugo, making a sharp scream.

Hugo once worked as a mercenary, and his combat experience gave him a chance to react. He quickly swung his long sword horizontally with his backhand, forcing Hope to retreat, and then stabbed it with a torch, and the flames burned on the demonic skin, scalding hot. It screamed and backed away, and now it looked like a diabolical imp again.

“It’s retreating!” Hugo shouted. “Should I continue?”

“Enough, come back,” said Charles.

While Hugo pointed the torch in Hope’s direction, he retreated directly behind, and Hope slowly hid into the depths of the darkness.

“Is this a trial?” Hugo was still not sure.

“You have to learn a fact through this brief encounter – demons can be defeated,” Ciel said earnestly.

“The devil can be defeated,” Hugo repeated, “…you are right, the devil is a monster that confuses people and creates fright, and as long as we are not afraid of it from the bottom of our heart, it will not have a particularly serious impact on us. .It hurts and retreats like a normal beast.”

“You are absolutely right.” Charles greeted him. “You have passed this trial.”

“It’s inseparable from your teaching.” Hugo was polite.

When they returned to the top, seeing Hugo’s calm expression, everyone knew that he had passed the test and congratulated him.

“Excellent!” Kliushi stroked his beard. “That’s how it should be. I thought Mr. Charles was going to prepare you some impossible test or something.” Fortunately, Madden was not present, otherwise he would be embarrassed.

“It’s my turn.” Ines looked around, not so much wanting to get support from everyone’s eyes, but more like she didn’t want to lose face.

“Let’s go.” Charles took Ines to the underground prison.

“Has Etienne conducted a similar trial?” Ines asked.

“No.” Ciel shook his head, “This is a trial I invented myself.”

“You also like to do something innovative.”

“In the face of demonic threats, the old-fashioned will not work. The old ways no longer apply.”

Ines took a deep breath.

“One passed and one failed,” she murmured. “Can’t you simplify this?”

Will Ines pass the test?

Hope’s tactics are cunning and changeable, and his body is strong, which is a real challenge for Ines.

“I need qualified hunters, not new recruits.” Ciel looked at the dark corridor, “Ines, come to the end.”

Chapter 125 Promotion

“Is it my illusion, or is this place really getting bigger?” Ines looked at the underground prison.

Ciel looked around and saw that the Sanctuary Dungeon was indeed vast and very spacious. In order to be able to detain those giant demons, the prisons on both sides were also extremely well-built. For a recruit trial, this place was too deep and silent.

Even Ciel himself would feel a little nervous if he stayed in the dungeon for too long. For others, the pressure would only be greater.

He was silent, leaving Ines to judge for himself.

“Tsk.” Ines pushed the torch forward, “Sometimes I don’t know what you’re thinking, so send us cloaks directly and promote us to official hunters, isn’t that good?”

Don’t make fun of everyone’s life, this is Ciel’s first thought, and everyone must understand what a demon is.

“If I get hurt, I’ll settle the account with you.” She walked towards the depths of the dungeon.

She walked through the long walkway, and Hope didn’t know where to hide and never showed up.

Ines wore a piece of cooked leather armor, holding a torch in the left, a sword in the right, and some unspeakable tools of the Shire pinned to her waist.

She went all the way to the end of the dungeon, where there was no way out, reached out and stroked the wall to make sure there was no hidden mechanism, then turned to look at Ciel: “Already—”

Hope appeared at this moment. It was lying on the ground in a large shape. Seeing that Ines was distracted, he immediately got up and rushed towards her on all fours.

Ines quickly took a few steps back, thrust the sword forward and stabbed it forward. Hope grabbed the sword with his claws and pulled it hard to his side.

However, Ines held the sword very steadily. Instead of grabbing the sword, Hope scratched his palm, and the black bast was cut open.

“This guy!” Ines stepped back again and again, staring cautiously at Hope from a distance, “Where is the monster!”

“Gah!” Hope screamed shrilly, Ines’ face was pale and frightened, the sound was sharp, crazy and frightening, Hope showed a very strange posture, his head was thrown back, his two claws were flatly stretched forward, and he stepped forward. He moved his legs and ran towards Ines, his posture was contrary to ordinary people, and it was extremely terrifying.

In this instant, Ciel knew that Ines’ determination had been tested, her demeanor stiffened, her pupils dilated.

This is the most terrifying moment, and this is the meaning of the trial. Demon hunters must remain calm, serious, and in danger in extreme terror, so that they can have the opportunity to fight against demons.

In Ciel’s view, the most powerful abilities of demons are illusion, fright, and mental interference, and they must rely on their heart to resist this spiritual threat.

Ciel wanted to teach them the flame of Yafen to resist all panic, but the flame of Yafen wears down the soul very quickly. If you rely on the flame of Yafen for a long time to fight, the soul will quickly diminish, which can be regarded as a very dangerous spell.

Ines was not frightened. On the contrary, she rushed forward, her eyes were fierce, and she sent the sword directly into Hope’s chest. Hope screamed and stopped immediately, desperately grabbing the sword in her chest with her claws. Couldn’t break free for half a day.

A neat blow will decide the winner.

“It’s over.” Ciel recognized Ines’ performance.

“Huh…” Ines pulled out the sword, and a huge scar appeared on Hope’s chest. It made a whimper and crawled to the corner to lie down.

Charles walked over to Ines.

“It’s over?” She raised an eyebrow at Ciel, “See.”

“Very good.” Ciel nodded. “The momentary tension didn’t make you lose ground.”

“What? I’m not nervous at all! Everything is under control.” Ines was very confident.

“Your heart must be beating fast.” Charles found her panting and her voice trembled.

“No—I’m not afraid at all!” Ines tried to prove herself right, “I’m not in trouble.”

“You’re just scared.” Ciel remembered her changing expression.

“I’m not afraid!”

“You’re scared.”

“I really don’t!”

“Well, since you insist on saying that.” Charles has always been easy-going and didn’t get into it.

Ines and Ciel returned silently along the dark corridor.

She glanced at Ciel, then looked forward again, then stared at Ciel for a moment.

“What’s wrong?” Charles noticed Ines’ gaze.

“Let me lean on my shoulder,” she said.

“it is good.”

She grabbed Ciel by the shoulders, leaned her body weight on him, and pushed him to the wall. Ciel was at a loss as to what to do, and she pressed him on top of Ciel.

“You have nowhere to go,” she said.

“Is that so?” The torch light flickered, and Ciel couldn’t see clearly in the dimness. He felt that this moment was very good.

“Hello.” Ines whispered.

Charles waited for her to speak.

“Let’s talk when the time is right.” Ines turned her head and let go of Ciel, “The atmosphere is very strange.”

Hold on for a while, I don’t mind.

Although she wanted to say that, she had gone far.

They returned to the upper hall, and everyone was surprised to see Ines intact.

“Passed?” Hugo asked.

“Of course.” Ines looked at everyone proudly. “If I can’t pass, who can pass the test?”
