Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 214
[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 214]
“Don’t worry, Ciel.” Luana raised her lips. “The question is, how much are you willing to sacrifice?”
“How do you say?” Leopold looked down at her, “…you seem to be good at some spells, since before…”
“It’s not ‘good at spells’, I’m skilled in many ways.” Runa took out her dark talisman, which was so evil that it looked like a cursed symbol of corruption.
Ciel remembered that it was not like this before, but now there is a crystal inlaid on it, black and dull, which was obtained from the dark elf.
The crystal itself carved out a crawling beast, like a blind lizard, with huge feet, broad jaws, a very unbalanced slender body, a leaning forward center of gravity, and a huge black tail wrapped around the entire talisman.
She must have spent a lot of time sculpting that crystal into this shape, and the amulet was her medium of spellcasting, which now seemed more powerful than ever.
Luana held the talisman high, her eyes darkened, and she chanted in a low, ghostly voice, chanting dark eulogies, a sound strong enough to drive humans mad, Charles feeling dizzy, and Leopold retreating to the corner of the cage , only Luana’s expression did not change.
She walked forward, but the shadow did not move with her, but stretched out on the snow. Her walking trajectory was in a circle, so the shadow was continuously stretched. When she circled back to the place , the shadow also forms a circle, which is connected end to end, which is quite strange.
Luanna walked out of the shadow circle, and now she has an unpredictable smile on her face, and is dimly illuminated by the gray moon, but there is no shadow behind her.
“I need a part of your body.” Luana looked at Ciel and Leopold with a smile, “like your… eyes, gouge out your eyes, throw them out of the cage, and place them inside the shadow ring. Then, your bodies can swap places with it. That way, you’re out of the cage. All right, men, become disabled, or stay in it forever, pick one.”
Clause 273
“Does it have to be eyes?” Leopold gripped the railing tightly. “The railing is soft, I can…” He slammed it out, but the railing didn’t move at all, “Uh… sorcery…”
“Then hand over your eyes.” Luana said leisurely, “I like your blue eyes very much, and I will hide them in the best glass jar.”
“Actually…” Ciel looked at Luanna.
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Luana raised her eyebrows.
“…” Charles was silent.
According to Shire, nails and hair are fine if they are part of the body.
But according to Luanna, she clearly wanted to maim Leopold.
“Eyes…I need my eyes.” Leopold said sternly, tangled.
“Or your left hand, right hand, left leg, right leg, any of your limbs, or your ears and nose.” Luana slowly set the trap, “Whatever you want, but hurry up, we’re wasting our time here. Time, who knows where Nazalius will go to kill?”
Leopold looked solemn, and seemed to be seriously considering this terrible proposal.
“If you lose a hand, you can’t fight. If you lose a leg, you can’t ride. You’re ugly without your nose, and you can’t see without your eyes.” Leopold struggled to his feet, his head on his back Cage roof, “I’m going to cut off my ears.”
“Then hurry.” Luana urged.
Leopold turned the phantom upside down, holding on to its blade, ready to knock it on its head.
“Don’t.” Charles quickly stopped him.
“Wow—” Luana was extremely disappointed.
“What?” Leopold wondered.
“This spell doesn’t necessarily require our body parts, maybe a strand of hair.” Ciel shaved a section of his hair with a gray knife, passed it through the gap between the railings, and scattered it outside.
“Luanna!” Leopold noticed the clue, and realized the whole story in an instant. “You want me to be disabled?”
“Don’t worry, there are still many opportunities.” Luanna sneered, “I’ll let you slowly rot here.”
She picked up the hair that Ciel threw out and sprinkled them into the ring of shadows. She chanted a short-syllable incantation, and Ciel felt the surrounding scene change in an instant. She left the cage and appeared in the center of the ring of shadows.
It’s a really high technique, completely translocating Ciel and his hair.
Leopold also wanted to cut his own hair.
Luana grabbed Ciel’s arm: “Let’s go.”
“he……”
“After more than ten years, hunters and adventurers will find him, and this place will become a famous scenic spot. I will erect a monument for him, and it will be engraved that the prince of the Softel family died here.” Lu Anna said more and more excitedly, “Okay, let’s do it like this!”
Hearing Luanna’s curse, Leopold looked lost, and he sat on the floor of the cage with his legs apart, a little frustrated.
After a while, he stood up again and shouted, “Hey, Luanna, save my life, and I will grant you whatever you ask.”
Ciel thought that Luanna would categorically refuse, but she did not expect that she would readily agree.
“Just wait for this.” Luana smiled.
Leopold glared at Charles: “What a vicious girlfriend you have.”
“Nobody knew it would turn out like this,” Charles said.
“You will be my pet from now on, Leopold, you must swear with your dignity and honor that you will always obey my orders.” Luanna put on a greedy posture.
“Forget it, then I’d rather die.” Leopold never agreed.
“Let’s go.” Luana walked quickly outside.
Charles knew that she wanted to scare Leopold, but Leopold was completely unmoved, still sitting cross-legged, looking coldly, determined to live and die with this cage.
“Luanna, you have to come up with some negotiable terms,” Ciel mediated in the middle. “As for Leopold… Now is the time to endure. Would you rather die in the wilderness for your own sake?”
“That’s my choice,” Leopold stressed. “I won’t be blackmailed.”
This guy is dead.
“…but I will make changes,” he added.
Oh, looks like there’s still something to be saved.
Leopold picked up the words, and then said quickly: “Ms. Luanna, I am willing to write off the previous grudge against you, and after this, I will also fulfill your request within my ability and treat you as For the sake of the benefactor, I will cooperate with your actions and follow your instructions.”
Luana glanced at Ciel: “Is there anything you want to exploit from him?”
Charles said calmly, “No.”
Leopold was originally waiting for Ciel to announce new conditions, but when he heard that Ciel wanted nothing, he couldn’t help frowning and looked at Ciel. After a few seconds, his brows loosened again, and his expression became calm. Nothing was said.
Charles suspects he has Leopold’s homage.
“You look like a man of justice,” Leopold said.
“There has never been justice or evil, only the strong and the weak, the strong implement their will, and the weak surrender. As far as the current situation is concerned, the two of us, you and me, we are the most powerful and powerful in this country. A combination,” Shire said, “so as long as we’re on the same side, we can do a lot of things together.”
“Okay! Try it, I like what you say!”
Leopold pulled a tangle of his own hair and threw it out.
“One is enough.” Runa twisted the hair in disgust, threw it into the shadow ring like trash, and then chanted a spell, and Leopold also translocated with his hair, appearing in the shadow between.
“Thank you.” Leopold greeted Luana solemnly, he looked at the mysterious shadow, “These supernatural powers… No wonder my father issued a ban on witchcraft.”
“Simple prohibition is meaningless. It will neither destroy the soil in which they grow nor stop people’s pursuit of them.” Luana clenched her dark catalyst, and those shadows slid on the ground and returned to her double Under the feet, become a shadowy person again.
“Then what should I do?” Leopold asked sincerely.
“Let’s take the lead in learning.” Luanna snorted coldly, “but the moral model should leave quickly, don’t get in my way.”
Leopold, carrying his sword, asked Charles, “What’s next?”
“Hunting demons and punishing evil.” Ciel looked at the surrounding dark woodland, and meditated on the terrifying appearance of the bone demon, “The hunt begins!”
An imperceptible blue line swept out from the bottom of his palm, pierced through the darkness, and pointed in the direction of Fort Eglin.
“Nazarius has gone to the castle.” Ciel felt nervous for a while. “After such a long time, he may have taken everyone…” Thinking of this, he didn’t say anything, just ran wildly.
They ran fast across the snow, their armor screeching and their weapons clinking with metal.
“You should be a little more honest, a little more open,” Leopold couldn’t help saying to Luanna. “I know you’re a good guy, you just look bad.”
“Huh?” Luana said with anger.
“Okay, Luanna, tell me its information.” Charles felt that the conflict between Leopold and Luanna was too heavy.
“Nazarius, a demon with the power of death, appeared in the forests near Fort Eglin, and in about eighty hours of its activity, killed nine hundred and twenty-five people, and two went mad. Times. No one was hurt, not a single one.” Luana followed quickly.
“Why don’t I know?” Leopold was surprised. “Nine hundred people died, and I didn’t know? My spies never told me…”
“No, don’t you know that your spies are all carefully selected by us?” Luanna teased, “It’s really ridiculous.”
Leopold’s face was ugly: “No, it’s impossible, I’ve secretly selected them from the people, those orphans, those ordinary people who were touched by me, those mercenaries, warriors and foreigners, they… they are all… …”
“Yeah, we are monitoring you. Your affairs in the palace are within our controllable range, and we don’t really care. But as long as you walk out of the Purple Flag Palace, everyone you meet will be arranged by us. We set Street anecdotes to guide you, keep your range of action within our plan, and send someone who has prepared in advance to make you interested in him and make you feel that he is loyal.” Luanna said calmly.
Every word she said made Leopold’s eyes less light.
Charles himself felt uneasy.
“All… are… plans? Arrangements?” Leopold whispered.
“We have made a lot of preparations from a long time ago, because Eduardo’s fertility is a bit poor, we thought he had no children, but we didn’t expect him to be full of energy at the age of sixty-five and give birth to an heir, why not let us take care of it What about training you? To make you a reliable leader, we have been arranging your lessons, adjusting your personality, we have made you like fighting rather than reading books, because books will improve your judgment, and fighting will make muscles. Grow into your brain. We also need someone who can lead the field and defeat strange rebels, and you’ve done a good job in general and some leadership. Ha! Look what a good ‘product’ we’ve made, Your Royal Highness Leopold, really,” Luanna revealed ruthlessly.
“Impossible! You must be a liar… You have only become a special envoy all these years…”
“Won’t I go through the dossier and the records? I saw that we even had your replacement ready, worried about your accidental death. We were aware of this kind of activity after you won the knight’s tourney eight years ago. It is the easiest to trigger accidents, and since then, all similar events have been banned, just to protect you… After all, substitutes are always impure.” Luanna sneered.
The figure of Leopold running in the snow was taken aback, he almost fell on the snow, and his expression was blank.
“So,” Luana looked down at him, “it’s a ‘plaything’ like you who’s been in the plan since you were born, yet you dare to stand up in front of me, teach me morals, and feel like you have nothing to do No. Okay, Your Royal Highness, do you find it difficult to accept? Do you want to die? Tell you: hurry, go, die. I saw a sentence on the way that suits you very well, ‘death is better than death’ live well’…”
Charles saw Leopold fall suddenly, and he seemed to be drained of his last strength, and fell into the dark winter night.
Noticing Leopold’s collapse, Luana chuckled, then hummed a weird tune that sounded especially terrifying.
Chapter 274 Death Feast
“Let’s go,” Luanna said. “Leave this bastard here to die. Isn’t there a demon ahead waiting for you to kill? Don’t you want to protect everyone? Is it more important for everyone to comfort this bastard?”
Ciel took Luana into his arms.
“Hey, you idiot…” Luanna was about to say something when Charles kissed her lips, then let go of her and went to Leopold.
Luanna stood where she was, staring straight at Ciel, stroking her lips with her fingers, as if feeling the residual warmth.
“Get up,” Charles held out his hand to Leopold.
Leopold didn’t answer, his eyes were like the sea in the dark, like a pool of stagnant water.
“You still have a lot to do,” Charles said.
Leopold shook his head. “My life is a joke.”
“I used to be as disheartened as you.” Ciel said calmly, “That was two years ago, you or your father, you planned the “476 Decree”, when it came to the Ash Tree Hall, When I was about to ban the demon hunter organization, I was desperate. I thought everyone was going to die, and the sanctuary would be burned down. I think Loman hates demon hunters in the whole country. Our efforts are meaningless, but it’s not the case. I burned down the temple, but it hasn’t been rebuilt until now. I have been blessed by God and gained strength… I don’t mean what will happen if I have hope, I don’t mean that if you work hard, you can win. I know that many times struggle itself is meaningless. I just want you to stand up, walk forward and get to the end, instead of giving in in the middle.”
After a pause, Charles continued:
“As far as I know, there is a monster, even among demons, that can be called a ‘king’, the ultimate evil that symbolizes darkness, and it entered our country and finally chose your father Eduardo Soo Fortyr, let him be his puppet, and have secretly controlled this country for a long time. And the devil himself has ascended to the temple of beauty, slaughtering and suppressing the gods we trust, and even the gods themselves are polluted by darkness. I see it It has solved the things in the sky, and soon it will turn around to solve the things on the earth, then it will be too late. It used to take your father as a puppet, and in the future it will enslave the people of the whole world and treat our beautiful world. Drowning in suffocating darkness. Not only that, but hell itself is preparing to invade us, eager to devour it and eat all souls.”
“Isn’t that… desperate?” Leopold bowed his head, “Why are you still insisting?”
“Because I also found a way,” said Ciel. “Do you hate the king’s envoys who manipulate your life? If you hate them, take revenge on them. First, you must remove your father’s control over the country and kill your father’s envoys. If we can trust each other, I can support you to succeed the king, since you hate being arranged so much, when you become the king yourself, your life will be in your own hands.”
