Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 198

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 198]

“There’s nothing you can do about it.” The Law and Demon God curled up on eight legs, and knelt down with a body like a myriad worm. “You can cultivate crops only by farming, and use crops to raise small animals. When small animals are born, they will form new souls. Then we slaughtered it regularly to get souls, barely enough to meet the wear and tear, and it was almost impossible to grow, even if it grew, the excess souls were burned, and soon they became little ghosts again.”

“There will be scrambles too.”

“Yeah, there is a very powerful demon on the fifth floor, a demon, a red demon, wandering in this land, it is feared by many intelligent beings in the world, it destroys the fundamental order of some technological worlds, so many intelligent beings unite Stand up to fight it, but the more fearful it is, the stronger it is. It is vigorous and invincible. It can be defeated, but it will not be annihilated. Even if it is destroyed, it will stick to the hearts of some intelligent beings, so it is extraordinarily strong. Seeing that the Anarchy Demon God was crushed by it, there is almost no power to fight back.”

“What’s it called?”

“The naming is different in different worlds. It allows people to believe, to believe when they encounter a wall, to believe when they make mistakes, to believe when they are defeated, and to be persecuted, generation after generation of intelligent creatures, it makes many intelligent life in the cold and the cold. There is still hope in hunger, even if it is ridiculed, it brings tears to my eyes. This kind of thing happens in many worlds that still exist. Then I call it ‘hope’. I have nothing to do with it. Contradictions, there is no contradiction between law and hope. But it will beat other demon gods to the ground, and the wandering demon gods will entrap the little ghosts that follow them, and they may come close to me to steal souls. Now they are pulling a group of refugees from peaceful territories, the goal Obviously, I’m afraid there will be a fight sooner or later.”

“I hope everyone can survive.” Ciel sighed, “I hope everyone can survive. I’m going back to protect my world, but I can’t let the devil launch a big invasion.”

“Contradictory,” said the Law Demon. “If you protect your world from attack, nothing will survive.”

“What’s the meaning?”

“You know the eternal silence, since the birth of the first intelligent life, the whole world has been expanding, the number of intelligent life will be more and more, and eventually crowded everywhere, the more intelligent life, the more chaos, the end of the chaos is extreme Disorder, intelligent creatures will waste all the energy of all worlds, and eventually everything will inevitably end. Everything will age, stand still, be consumed, and everything will fall into nothingness.”

Ciel didn’t quite understand it, but he could feel that the situation must be very scary: “What should I do then?”

“This is the end of hell to avoid. Hell’s mission is to eat every world, plunder all souls, and stop intelligent life from moving. We are fighting the spread of intelligent beings, and by the time we eat all worlds, there will be no souls left. Available to plunder, we will burn ourselves in hell, dying silently one by one until there is one or two last demons left. Those one or two demons will preside over the establishment of a new era, cleanse the chaos, and restore the world to its original state order, so that everything can grow again and start over. We do everything we can to prevent intelligent life from multiplying and murder all worlds. Ah, what is the life and death of some intelligent life compared to the grand cause of preventing all worlds from collapsing what?”

Charles froze.

What, hell… His heart was blank.

Was hell protecting all worlds?

“You intelligent being,” said the law demon, “think about it, if you insist on protecting your world, it is very likely that in the end, all demons will be wiped out, and your world will still be preserved, with no new supply of souls. , the hell is finally burnt out, a demon is gone, and even the projection of fear can’t form a new demon here, then it’s over. In the absence of hell control, from your world, intelligent creatures will quickly Multiply and fill all other worlds. Then it will be too late, eternal silence will engulf everything, first development will stagnate, then everything will wither in chaos, there will be no chance to save, even time itself will lose its meaning, all matter will be lost. Stop moving, all energy is consumed by intelligent life, and then everything is over.”

Seeing Ciel’s dazed expression, the Law Demon made a sound similar to a sigh.

“You don’t want to, it’s normal, intelligent life is very selfish. You seem to be someone who is responsible for fighting hell, right? You protect your world, he protects his world, hell can’t take down any one, and ultimately can’t Harvest new souls to dissolve themselves. So for each additional world that is selfishly preserved, the speed of all worlds leading to final annihilation is doubled. Intelligent life revels in victory over hell, and then drags the whole world to bury. This is What a selfish, intelligent life without a sense of responsibility.”

Ciel suddenly felt that his strength was exhausted, and he sat on the ground with a daze in his heart.

In other words, all the efforts we have made so far, all in vain?

Chapter 252 Farewell

Charles put his hands in his clothes.

The little ghosts screamed, waved their hoes, and tried their best to loosen the soil. They also planted a plant that looked like an orange sweet potato. They seemed to be very suitable for the environment of hell. Ciel thought it was a type of plant selected from various worlds. , able to grow in the harshest conditions.

It is really dry here, there is no water vapor, there is no night, it is always day.

Ciel saw the little devils and the big devils work tirelessly to farm, and the middle-level demons evolved digging arms suitable for farming, not claws for fighting.

“Quack!” A kid dropped his hoe, rushed towards a small soft-haired animal they kept, biting it desperately, it died in the writhing, the kid raised his head and shouted while absorbing the faint soul inside.

“Ah.” The Demon God of Law rushed over immediately, stretched out a big hand to lift the little devil, “I slaughtered livestock without permission, and there will be no vacation for the next epoch.”

“Squeaky!” The kid was lifted up in mid-air, waving his hands and feet, and seemed aggrieved.

A resident with animal skins wrapped around his waist crossed the field, picked up the animal killed by the kid, and took it to a barn-like warehouse.

It is not a citizen of the peaceful city, because it does not wear that white robe, it may be from another world, and it was exiled to hell due to an accident.

“Do demons have holidays too?” Charles asked.

“When the law says that for every 6 hells you work, you have to rest 6 hells, even a kid knows that,” said the legal devil.

The sound of digging and digging the earth kept on ringing. Even if they worked hard, the little devils still looked very thin and thin. They had very few opportunities to eat the soul. Most of the time, they could only forcibly suppress their desire for the soul.

They are eagerly looking at the new urban citizens in the territory. They are all living creatures, and their souls will not deplete themselves. The little ghosts are obviously eager to kill a few citizens to satisfy their desires.

In particular, there are very tall citizens here, whose shape is like a building, and the farmland here is not suitable for them to work. There is a blue pattern with two pairs of white feathers, a symbol of peace.

Useless peace.

“What about it?” Ciel pointed to that kind of large citizen.

“Ah, there’s no way to support it.” The Law Demon said, “It should live in the original world, and the ecology of hell has no place for them.”

“But we can’t send it back.”

“It can only let it find its own way. I won’t let the little devils kill it. The law guarantees the right to life of intelligent life.” said the law devil.

It also wanted to say something, but it seemed that something else had happened, and the Law Demon had hurriedly moved elsewhere.

“Here…” Ciel thought to himself, “this might be destroyed like the city of peaceful demons.” Ciel felt a shudder, “Yes… Hell, if the demons of hell don’t invade the outside world, the demons will Will kill each other, because the soul of hell is too limited… For you, the invasion of our world is necessary, and…even…justified, because it is beneficial in the long run.”

“I told you a long, long, long time ago that you can’t win this war! Demons must win, hunters must lose!” said Gladiu arrogantly, “and you didn’t heed my warning at all. In my heart, how stupid.”

“Why can’t it be simpler,” thought Charles.

“Simple?”

“It’s like… just like those children’s stories, adventurers are righteous, monsters are evil, adventurers do everything right, defeat the king of monsters, and the world will usher in prosperity and peace… story There’s courage, there’s feats, there’s friendship, there’s deep bonds…and that sort of thing…”

“That’s a kid’s story, and what a youth goes through is a little more complicated, and you can’t make perfect decisions,” Gladiu said. How good would it be to settle everything casually and once and for all? No troubles, no opponents, no troubles, no thinking and no effort… You are too irresponsible! Work hard! Go to the trouble!”

“What if I fail? What if I end up bad later? What if I get to the end…and discover that the road doesn’t exist? What if the effort itself is false?”

“This is the curse of knowledge. If you don’t know anything, life must be very simple! But it is especially painful after knowing it. Originally, it was killing demons, fighting monsters, and being killed in the invasion. Now it is desperately killing demons, Desperate to fight monsters, desperate to die in invasion.”

“I suddenly understand why countless people believe in religion now,” said Charles, “how simple religion is… When you encounter difficulties, you pray: Almighty God, guide me, lead me out of the predicament, give Let me solve the problem with wisdom, and then just wait for God to help, with peace of mind and hope.”

“You can worship the all-knowing and almighty Gladius.”

“You don’t know anything. If you knew that you would be exiled by the kings if you killed the Bend Demon, would you still kill it?”

“certainly.”

This guy has a tough mouth.

Charles stared blankly at the horizon.

About seven or eight miles away, the two demon war groups were catching each other and fighting each other, making noises and noises. The local goblins turned a deaf ear to the conflict. Everyone was farming and grazing as usual, and they should have been accustomed to these conflicts.

“Gladius, you have to watch this.”

“Look at what?”

“Witness my end.”

“You are nothing more than being killed, hiding and dying, but if you didn’t die naturally, I would also be crushed, so it is impossible for me to witness your end.”

“I don’t believe it, you have lied to me too much, you cleverly hide your true thoughts, I doubt that even if I die in an accident, you will have the ability to leave alone, just like you fooled me into committing suicide.”

“Indeed.” Gladiu disdain to conceal its sinister intentions.

“You have to witness my ending, I don’t know what will happen if I go on, will I suffer a tragic failure and die alone, in that case, you will be the last one to know where and how I died, you That moment must be remembered.”

“……I will.”

“I’m surprised you didn’t say no and say something sarcastic.”

“You fool, I’m not hard-hearted. After so many things, you won me… a little, a little, an inconspicuous, subtle… respect.”

Ah, this bastard, the arrogant blade demon, being teased and cut up in the peaceful city, the reason and the madness parted ways, the beating is terrifying, the hands and feet are frightened, the confidence in the future is lost, and the pressure makes you nervous and depressed , can be regarded as revealing, let me see its most unbearable side.

Before Gladius got angry, Ciel hurriedly said, “That’s good.”

“My respect is invaluable, you fucking cherish it.”

Charles strolled in the fields.

He saw a kid raise his hoe high, hit the ground hard, then let out a cheering cry, jumped aside, lay on the ground, and rested, the other kid looked at it enviously, and it folded its slender legs On the other leg, very leisurely, it seems to be its own rest time.

Yasin stood in the group of envious little devils, he was taller than those weak little devils, wiped his sweat, looked at Ciel, and shouted: “Sir!”

“Yasin.” Charles greeted him, “I’ll be going back soon.”

“Go back!” Yasin was surprised, “Ah… go back to our world.”

“You’re already used to the life here.” Charles saw that he had changed his robes and was wearing a short skirt made of small animal fur. He was sweaty and thin.

“Yes.” Yasin said embarrassedly, “…Until now, I know what the life of the slaves is like. I have used everyone before to let everyone serve the prosperity of the country, and I also helped my parents to deceive them, saying They’ll be freed in the future…but the labor has really benefited me a lot and I feel stronger.”

“You.” Charles looked at him, “Yasin… do you want to go back?”

“…”

“It’s ok to go back.” Ciel nodded, “We can leave here together and return to our world. Your country has perished, but your people still have descendants. I heard that the Shannei Empire belongs to the ancient empire. Successors, many of their cities were built on the ruins of ancient civilizations, and they even heard that there are still countries that worship dragons in the distance. Yasin…”

“That world has no place for me,” Yasin said.

“what?”

“No one remembers me,” Yassin said calmly. “I’ve been completely forgotten in that world, haven’t I? Being forgotten is the same as dying. Actually, that’s not our world, that It’s your world, yours.”

“Yasin…”

“Look here, it’s very good here.” Yasin smiled, “Work hard, and then die quietly. My greatest wish is to grow old and die in my sleep.” In the early morning, after a lifetime of hard labor, An old man died quietly’…the most beautiful text I’ve ever read.”

“That’s so sad.”

“It’s nothing to be sad about, in fact, it’s even a wish. I feel like my body has changed since I came to this place, and even though I haven’t aged a lot over the years, I’ll never be able to fulfill that wish. Will be killed in battle.” Yassin looked at the clashing demonic warbands on the horizon.

“You have helped me a lot, I can’t leave Peaceful City without you.” Ciel said loudly, “Come on, let’s go back to our world together, not mine, but ours!”

Yasin pursed his lips: “It’s okay, sir, life in a peaceful city is very safe and boring, life here is exhausting but satisfying, I’m already very satisfied. Sir… I only understand now that in the palace Trembling, waiting for the army to attack and kill me. Or pray for peace, come to this place, and be killed by monsters at some point in the future, and in the end, the same goal is achieved! Sir! I have been running away, but I can’t escape, it means running away It’s useless! Mr. Passerby, you… must work hard! You still have your own ideals! You must achieve them!”

“I will protect the world,” Ciel promised.

Gladius opened the cracks between the worlds: “It’s time to go back.”

Yassin saluted the Shire, an ancient etiquette, paying the Shire the highest respect: “Thank you very much, sir,”

It’s me who wants to thank you…

Ciel stepped into the crack and fell down into nothingness.

Before he could react, a flame emerged from it and swept away his figure.

“Finally…” Ignitz let out a sigh.

Chapter 253 Exchange Ideals

In the midst of chaos and nothingness, Ciel once again saw Ignitz, the god of fire.

It is presented as a pair of burning eyes, and in the detonating flame, Ciel sees light, heat, and life, and fire, burns, and ashes.

Ciel couldn’t control his hands and feet. He felt like he had become a mass of flowing water or gas, drifting with some kind of force.

“Speak quickly.” Ciel now has a wealth of experience, as long as he is not killed instantly, there is still room for manoeuvre.

“I’m wondering if you regret it, you had the ability to destroy Gladiu, I can take it away.”

“What happens when you take it away?”

“The flame will burn the blade, the essence of the blade will melt in the flames, it will be reborn in a new form, it will become… the slag demon, the scum at the bottom of the furnace, it will become ugly and dull, not as cunning and cruel as before , it will be lovely and harmless, oh Gladiu, I miss it so much. We had a wonderful relationship.”

“I’ll leave it to you after everything is settled,” Ciel promised.

“Solution? Is there anything you can’t solve by yourself now?” Ignitz whispered, “Charle, you can already give up Gladius.”
