Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 19

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 19]

“Let’s go.” Rocher looked back at the mercenary and the demon hunter, “…I don’t care who of you got the bounty in the end, just kill the winged demon for me.”

Chapter 24 Sky Threat

They found demons.

In the countryside of Loman, Ciel, Rocher and Tibbert brought a few entourages and mercenaries, using a small forest as cover, and looked up at the winged demon raging in the sky.

They let the main force of the army stand by in the rear, and come back to support after a conflict here, so as not to alarm the monsters.

In Ciel’s view, the demon was a living nightmare. A timid soldier stared at it for a while, and couldn’t bear it any longer. He didn’t care about other people’s eyes. , no different from being frightened by animals.

It has a pair of dark wings, like a bat, a slender tail with spear-like spurs at the end, a short neck, very strong limbs, strong forearms, and a pair of hind legs as ferocious as eagle claws, which are very suitable for catching victims from the ground. .

Strangely, there seems to be something hanging on the winged demon’s back, and there is some heavy metal on his head, which is definitely not grown by the demon himself.

What would that be?

Charles thought to himself.

“Kill it,” Rocher ordered. “End this torture.”

“Order.” Tibbert immediately organized his men to prepare the crossbow, “Gannix, go control the ‘Blood Bride’ and give that monster an unforgettable kiss.”

“Yes.” A taciturn red-haired man stepped up to the back of the giant crossbow. “Help me adjust it fifteen degrees east.” overlapping.

Ciel looked around and saw that the land where the winged demons had ravaged was a waste of life. There used to be seven or eight farmhouses in the wilderness. Now, the ground was dripping with blood, scarlet, and the dead and wounded. It was vaguely seen that the slaughtered farmers were eaten only. The next few limbs were casually thrown on the road, and the livestock were disemboweled and hollowed out from the inside. These families were originally peaceful and hopeful, but after the arrival of the devil, they were annihilated and invisible, and they did not even have the strength to resist. Trampled like that.

The more he looked at it, the more he hated him. Even if the mercenaries treated him badly, he hoped that this arrow would hit him.

Rocher stared at the demon, and Ciel saw the knight’s hand clenched tightly, as if to seize hope.

But…it’s hard.

“It can’t be shot.” Gladiu laughed, “Haha, this is a flying demon.”

“Don’t underestimate humans.” Ciel gritted his teeth.

Gannis, who was manipulating the ballista, carefully aimed at the direction of the winged demon. Suddenly, he was shocked, and everyone’s heart jumped. He seized an excellent opportunity and pulled down the joystick forcefully.

Boom!

In front of Ciel, a miracle of engineering is being staged. As the buckle is opened, the gigantic crossbow string that has been stretched has long been full of energy, and now it explodes in an instant. Through the air, it whistled towards the sky, making a harsh whistle, pointing directly at the ugly huge wings of the winged demon.

Who says you can’t hit!

This arrow is so accurate!

“Okay!” Tibbert punched in the air, couldn’t help applauding, and looked at Ciel smugly.

Charles widened his eyes.

The arrow was extremely fast, and it reached the demon in the blink of an eye, and it quickly made a strange rolling motion in the air. The black behemoth that was flying forward turned over in a strange posture and slid in the opposite direction. At this moment, the huge crossbow arrow hit the spot where the devil’s wings should have been.

There was a huge sigh, and Tibbert looked up at the unharmed winged demon, shaking all over.

“Prepare arrows,” he ordered.

“We have to escape!” the mercenary cried.

No wonder they were so panicked, because the winged demon had already pounced.

It vibrated its wings, gliding fast and approaching, and now Ciel could see the unknown objects hanging on it.

On its face, there is a very large iron mask, which has long been rusted and mottled without leaving any pores. It can be said to be a metal plate, covering the ugly face of the winged demon, so as to prevent its ferocious appearance from scaring mortals. .

On its back and ribs, seven or eight heavy chains were tightly wound and fixed on the surface of its skin with huge iron nails, forming an extremely heavy burden.

This is what the demon hunters are holding on to it, Ciel can see it.

The most terrifying thing is that even with such heavy shackles, the winged demon can still move freely, and can even make such delicate and swift movements in the sky.

How nimble would it be when the demon hunters hadn’t imprisoned it when it was completely unimpeded?

“If you organize a demon army, this guy can be a pioneer…” Gladiu assessed.

“Wow ah ah-” Seeing the pitch-black demon swooping down, people were terrified.

Rocher took a deep breath and took a fighting stance, but Ciel could see that the knights did not have the confidence to win.

“Reload, reload! Let me shoot another arrow!” Ganix was so anxious that he grabbed his partner hard, but the mercenary threw him away with all his strength and fled without hesitating.

“Stop aiming, let’s run!” Tibbert screamed.

Ciel stared at the winged demon flying towards them at high speed. It was as dark as the night and as large as a house.

“‘Phantom Power’!” Ciel concentrated and shouted angrily.

boom!

The demon is spreading its wings and gliding downwards with the air current.

However, contrary to its expectations, the once loyal air suddenly became chaotic, and an invisible force struck, and its huge wings were deformed and flew backwards.

Its body quickly fell, and it was able to skim the ground at a low altitude, almost colliding with the ground, and flapping its wings with all its strength, it was barely able to rise.

“what?”

“My God—”

“This?”

“It’s a demon hunter!”

When a few soldiers heard the strange wind noise, they looked back, and saw that the menacing demon suddenly turned into a harlequin, rolling in the air in a state of embarrassment, stiff like a puppet, trying to adjust their posture.

People couldn’t help but stare at Ciel’s figure.

“Demon Hunter…” Rocher clenched the sword in her hand. She was one of the few who dared to stay in place to observe. “It’s a great power.”

Tibbert was about to flee, and when he turned around, he noticed the sudden turn of events, and was immediately excited.

“Peel! Don’t run away! Tarkin! Come back to me, reload, reload! Ganix! Aim for it! Don’t miss it this time!”

The Fanshan crossbow team led by Tibbert regained their morale and ran to the ballista, reloading the ball at the fastest speed in their life. These mercenaries risked straining their muscles and turned the winch with all their strength. , slowly pulled the sturdy crossbow string, and the courage poured out like a spring.

“You’re right, demons and dragons are different.” Tibbert wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Ciel said nothing, staring at the flight path of the winged demon, which flapped its wings and quickly climbed, over their heads and toward their backs.

it left?

Ciel turned his head sharply, his heart beating faster and faster, almost bursting out of his chest, fear overwhelmed his thoughts.

No–don’t let it fly past, over there…

Ciel was so anxious that he didn’t care about the others who stayed here, he walked through the forest with a heavy heart, and stumbled to the wilderness behind them.

Those soldiers were stationed here. As soon as they saw the demon, they raised their heads and pointed at the monster in the air, panicking. The archer immediately picked up the weapon in his hand and shot at the winged demon.

Ciel saw dozens of arrows shot high into the sky, covering the body of the winged demon.

Although it flew as hard as it could, it still couldn’t dodge all the arrows.

But this didn’t mean the attack was effective, those arrows pierced into the demon’s shell shallowly, and more arrows were bounced off by its demon body, falling weakly down.

In the face of demons, does the army of mortals really have no resistance at all?

Ciel had a slight illusion before that these trained soldiers could fight demons, but now, I’m afraid they don’t even have the ability to protect themselves.

When Ciel turned his head, the mercenaries manipulating the crossbow were trying their best to appease the irritated horses, pulling the heavy ballista, and preparing to shoot again, but looking at them, they would be useless for a while.

He heard a series of piercing screams. The winged demons had already plunged into the soldiers. They took up their shields and tried to parry, but the demons’ wings shook, and they all fell to the ground in the impact, smashing their heads and bleeding. .

Then, like a falcon catching a floating fish, the demon quickly grabbed a soldier, flapped its wings and flew to a high place.

“Help—help—” The soldier’s screams came to an abrupt end, he was brutally killed in the air, the demon grabbed his stomach with one hand, grabbed his head with the other, twisted it hard, and twisted his head off. The other hand clenched.

In an instant, the soldier’s spine, internal organs and blood splashed out from the fracture of the neck, were squeezed out one after another, scattered on the ground, and rained down a shower of blood.

The assembled soldiers stared at this horrific state in a stunned manner, trembling with fear.

The demon’s icy iron mask was even more ruthless. It threw the soldier’s remnant on the ground like a vent, absorbed the soul of the dead, and then raised a dark green demonic fire in its hand.

“Disperse…” Charles felt a burst of weakness.

The magic fire condensed into a flame ball, and quickly threw it towards the entire army.

There were cries, screams, and panicked running.

Prox loudly greeted the people to be quiet, turned back to see Charles on the grassy slope, and hurriedly rode towards him.

“Devil! It’s a demon! Come up with a solution!” he screamed.

The winged demon quickly lowered his body, as if to show off his strength in front of the charr, and grabbed the veteran from his horse with one claws.

Prox struggled desperately under the demon’s claws, claws embedded in his armor, bleeding from his mouth, looking at the Ciel in despair.

“Are you a hunter?” the winged demon croaked.

“I’m here to kill you.” Ciel quickly took out the magic rope from his arms and threw it at the winged demon. The rope quickly went to the demon’s feet.

“I hate you. I hate you very much. How many days and nights of torture.” The winged demon threw his arm vigorously.

Missed!

Charles is disappointed.

But to his surprise, the winged demon descended quickly, and took the initiative to stretch its claws into the noose. The rope found the target and quickly wrapped it around its legs.

Why did it take the initiative to be caught…

“Fool, you’ve been tricked.” Gladius shouted.

What is the Blade Demon talking about?

——

He felt a huge pulling force, and the winged demon violently shook its wings and flew higher.

Ciel, who was holding the magic rope, was also carried up by the demon in an instant, and was quickly pulled into the air.

Done.

he thinks.

Chapter 25 Broken

Ciel clenched the magic rope with both hands, and it was too late to let go.

The magic rope grabbed the demon’s feet, and it fluttered and flew, and even Ciel’s body quickly moved upward, climbing nearly 100 meters in an instant.

The winged demon flapped its wings and gradually approached the clouds.

Swaying – shaking – the wind whistled and the sky was spinning.

His body rose higher and higher, and the familiar earth was gone. Humans have never been used to flying. This feeling is extremely terrifying.

It deliberately wanted Ciel to slip and fall to his death, so it suddenly changed direction and dived quickly. Ciel closed his eyes and his body was spinning. The strong sense of weightlessness made him feel nauseous and dizzy. Ciel tightly grabbed the end of the rope. , No matter how his body was thrown in the air, he tried his best to hold on to the magic rope to prevent himself from being thrown off.

“Don’t die, don’t die, don’t die, don’t die—” Gladiu was horrified.

Is this something I can decide?

Ciel’s body was thrown back and forth in the air, constantly flipping and swaying due to the deliberate play of the winged demon. The wind whistled in his ears, and he dared not open his eyes, because he knew that he must be very far from the ground, just imagining himself now. His hands and feet were a little weak, and his heart was extremely empty.

If this goes on, I will definitely fall to my death because I can’t catch the rope, I will definitely die, I will definitely die!

If I die – all things are meaningless.

Demons will wreak havoc in the world, and ordinary people can’t fight against demons at all. The last inheritor of the Hunter’s Sanctuary has disappeared, and all ambitions and ideals have come to nothing.

“Ya—” Ciel roared desperately, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the strong wind rushed into his mouth, making him speechless.

He realized that the strength of his arms had reached the limit, and he would fall off his hands at any time. The strength of his arms was quickly exhausted in a short period of time. In fact, it was a miracle that he could last for a few seconds.

Nausea, dizziness, his brain was buzzing, and the surrounding air was turbulent. He experienced a huge horror in the air that he had never had before, and he no longer had any sense of balance and security.

Dangerous…dangerous…still dangerous!

It will slip off, it will be thrown off!

And once it hits the ground, it will be shattered to pieces, and there is no reason to survive.

Charles panicked.

He wanted to vomit, he wanted to vomit badly, and his stomach rolled.

“Don’t die–don’t die–” Gladius pleaded. “Catch! Catch! What will I do if you die!”

He heard people shouting from below.

“Don’t fall!”

“Grab it!”

“Hurry up, hurry up!” They couldn’t help, and they didn’t dare to shoot arrows. They could only ease their anxiety through encouragement.

Xia Er faintly heard the shouts of the soldiers and mortals, and suddenly felt a sense of peace of mind from a state of extreme panic. After all, we are still fighting against the devil together.

“—Yafen flame!” He roared, igniting the fire of his soul, the flame sprang from his body, covered the surface of his body, and quickly burned up along the magic rope.

When the flames were burning, Ciel opened his eyes and was shocked to see the change in color. It was not the holy golden flame before, but a dark green flame that was no different from the devil fire. Burn away.

Burn this monster!

Ciel took a deep breath, and vaguely saw the magic rope in his hand. The end of the rope was emitting a faint light. He used its magical power to stick tightly to Ciel’s hand and help Ciel hang in the sky.

He couldn’t help but bow his head a little, and it made him confused at first glance.

Nearly 1000 meters from the ground, human figures are not as good as walking ants.

But the flames worked, and the winged demon noticed the evil fire burning all the way from his right foot, and immediately plunged down violently.

Things came to the most dangerous point. When the demon swooped down, Ciel’s body was also smashed down.
