Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 22

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 22]

“We’ve been careful,” Tibbert complained. “It’s just too dark here and it’s too late. My people need rest.”

“I can’t set up camp under the eyes of the devil and continue walking.” Ciel urged, “I still want to rest.”

“Fortunately, we have sentries ahead, and Ajax has gone to find the way.” Tibbert boasted, “We are professional mercenaries.”

They walked forward about 50 meters before they saw a corpse. The mercenary had its head bitten off, and only the body fell limply to the ground with blood everywhere. The Fanshan Crossbow Team saw their companions A tragic death, with a pale face.

“…” Tibbert stared at his companion’s dead head on the ground. The spine leaked out where the neck was broken, which was quite terrifying.

“That’s Ajax?” Charles asked.

Tibbert nodded.

“He’s our countryman, we have to—” He was about to say something, when Ajax’s body abruptly stepped back.

Like a ghost, the headless corpse of the mercenary moved quickly and unnaturally into the distance, as if sorcery were manipulating his remains.

This scene beyond cognition made many mercenaries stunned and didn’t know what to do for a while.

“Chase! Chase!” Tibbert yelled, and his men woke up like a dream, and hurriedly pushed the ballista, its wheels rustling on the ground.

how is this possible?

Charles thought uneasily, why did the corpse move on its own?

Suddenly, in front of their eyes, Ajax’s body quickly moved upwards and was thrown into the open space in the distance, where a dark and huge monster was waiting.

“Demon! Shoot!” Tibbert roared.

boom!

The crossbowman who manipulated the Blood Bride quickly turned the ballista and pulled the trigger at the huge creature. The arrow pierced its back and made a sound like a stone embedded in it.

“Got it! Another shot!” Tibbert punched hard into the air.

Huh – Tibbert’s figure suddenly left the ground and was lifted up by an inexplicable force.

People looked up in horror and saw the winged demon crouching on a tall tree, staring down at them.

There was a hint of despair in Charles’ heart.

He saw the demon clutching his magic rope in his left hand, tying it around Tibbert’s throat and hanging him alive, and Tibbert kicked in the air in pain, gripping the rope around his neck with both hands, extremely Depressed, extremely painful.

“Welcome.” The winged demon grabbed the lower edge of his mask and lifted it.

Chapter 28 Half Devil

When it comes to the true face of the Winged Demon, Ciel is hard to forget.

Its skin is full of tiny folds, a high nose and a thick forehead, sharp ears, and scars up and down its mouth. Its eyes are huge and dark, only the middle pupil is white, the exact opposite of humans.

The face of human beings, no matter how terrifying it is, will not be too terrifying.

If the face of the monster is scary, it will only make people tremble for a while at most.

But the face of the winged demon, its inhuman appearance, will forever be imprinted in the hearts of everyone present.

When the mercenaries saw the true face of the winged demon, their hands and feet went limp.

“Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…”

It opened its mouth, and it was full of deep scars, and just by looking at it, I could think of the pain.

Immediately, the demon let out a shrill scream, and the sound reverberated in the forest for a long time. Ciel saw that the mercenaries of the Fanshan Crossbow Team, whether senior or new, old or young, all trembled in horror, fighting. All intents away.

At this moment, their accumulated experience, ability and fighting spirit all disintegrated.

“Ouch-vomit–” Several mercenaries began to bend over and vomit blood.

“Nuin’s edge!” Ciel raised his head, stretched out his hand, and cast a piercing spell on the winged demon. A ray of light pierced through the air, stuck on the demon’s torso, and pierced a notch.

Damn…not powerful enough.

“Ah, familiar spell.” The winged demon stretched out his claws and shot the debris from his body. “But you’re not skilled. Can you kill me before he’s hanged alive?”

Charles looked nervously at Tibbert who was hanging in the air.

Tibbert resisted desperately. He opened his mouth wide, trying to get the air in. He wanted to cry, but he couldn’t get a breath of fresh air into his lungs anyway, and the rope tightly restrained his windpipe.

He kept trying to tuck his fingers into the noose around his neck, trying to get some room for his throat, and no matter how much he fumbled, he always failed.

He stomped on the air under his feet desperately, as if it would provide him with a fulcrum to get him out of the suspension, but it was all in vain.

He wants to live…he wants to live!

Can I save him?

Watching a person die in front of him, Ciel couldn’t think of any suffering more terrifying than this, and he quickly thought about how to solve it.

With a spell… But no spell can directly affect the Winged Demon, much less one that can save Tibbert.

crossbow?

Shoot the magic rope with a crossbow?

Impossible, missed.

Shoot demons?

Its tough shell doesn’t necessarily make a difference.

Knife?

Knives can definitely hurt it, but the devil is sitting high in the tree, and it is impossible for the charr to cut it.

Wait…I should be fine.

Ciel was silent and moved quickly. He took out his crossbow, loaded it and aimed at the winged demon, and quickly pulled the trigger.

The winged demon did not avoid it, and the arrow hit its chest and was quickly deflected.

“Her potion has contaminated me and left me full of holes, but when the skin is peeled back, the new growth is stronger.” The winged demon whispered, and every time it sounded, people’s pain deepened. , more and more mercenaries began to vomit blood, and the color of the blood quickly turned black and darkened. It seemed that it was no longer blood, but Ciel had no time to think about what it was.

If you don’t defeat the Winged Demon, you will be killed by the Winged Demon.

If you don’t become a powerful demon hunter, more demons will invade the world and kill mortals.

Ciel reloaded his arrows and raised his crossbow.

“Do you want to pretend to work hard?” the winged demon asked.

“Yafen flame.”

Seemingly polluted by the demon in his heart, the soul flame was no longer golden, but a depraved phosphorescent green.

The flame burst out of his heart and was guided by Ciel into his hand. He pulled the trigger, and the arrow carrying the flame shot out rapidly.

The winged demon immediately let go and threw Tibbert to the ground. With a flick of its wings, it quickly climbed up, dodging Ciel’s shot, and the fire arrow swept through the night like a shooting star and disappeared on the other side of the forest.

“You inherit the same system, the same spell. Each human being lives for a period of time, inheriting it in the first half of his life, and passing it on in the second half of his life.” The winged demon looked at Ciel, and the blank and white eyes became more and more terrifying.

Ciel hurried to the side of Tibbert who fell to the ground, untied the magic rope from his neck, and held it in his hand again.

“Are you all right?” Charles asked eagerly, but Tibbert kept coughing and couldn’t answer.

“Why are you alive? I saw your ugly soul dimmed quickly, but quickly relit, and came to me. I’m scared, there’s something in your soul, what is that?” asked the winged demon.

Ciel picked up his crossbow and used the metal sights to lock the winged demon’s position. Damn, it was so dark that I couldn’t see anything clearly.

But as long as one arrow hits it, the Ciel has an infinite advantage, and the threat of the Yafen flames to the devil has been tested.

“What on earth does it do to you hunters to let me be free. Don’t you allow me to be free in peace?” asked the winged demon.

“You kill people.” Ciel’s mind flashed through the images of the slaughtered figures.

“You don’t even know the people I killed, why do you stand up for them, and they won’t thank you.”

Ciel chanted the curse silently and fired another arrow, and the winged demon continued to climb up to the top of the tree.

Damn—if only I could have been better at archery and more skilled, I could have killed this demon quickly without listening to its endless bullshit.

“I don’t like you.” The winged demon perched on the top branch, and the Ciel couldn’t see it from this distance.

“Are you so long-winded?” Charles cursed.

“Transformation also takes time.”

Convert?

What transformation… Ciel looked around and felt a chill.

Those mercenaries were originally vomiting blood, but gradually, they began to vomit dark substances. Dark scales gradually grew on people’s skin, their faces slowly twisted, and strange evil horns grew from their skulls, piercing their helmets. , making a creaking sound.

“Wow-woo-woo-ah-ah–” a strong mercenary screamed, and a pair of fleshy balls grew out of his back, and they swelled and grew rapidly, eventually piercing the skin’s package, and from the blood A pair of jet-black wings were born, and his facial features were also rapidly deformed, and sharp teeth appeared in his mouth.

This is the manifestation of the corruption and depravity of the demons. Charr realizes that the spiritual interference of the demons has broken through their psychological defenses. Once the mind is lost, the human soul will be corroded, thus forming a demonic nature in them, and shaping them to be the same as the demons. body shape.

Is the influence so great?

“Want to kill me? Kill all these fresh half-demons first,” the winged demon mocked playfully.

A demonized mercenary grabbed Ciel, and Ciel had no choice but to chop the blade out of his hand and cut off his arm.

“You—why did you cut me—” he wailed, covering his cut, sobbing blood.

“Why did you cut him! Why did you cut him!” the winged demon asked sadly. “Damn human, isn’t he your kind? Why did you hurt him!”

Ciel knew that the transformation of half-human and half-demon was irreversible. Once it collapsed, it would be another demon, and it would never be possible to become human again.

His heart was extremely anxious, he had to kill them, and had to kill these mercenaries who were ordinary people before.

More half-demon mercenaries lost their minds and charged towards the charr, while others started killing each other and biting their former comrades.

Ciel watched everything happen, but he couldn’t sit still and had to raise his knife to resist.

The extremely sharp knife in his hand cuts through the demon’s limbs with ease, and neither muscle nor bone can hinder it.

But every time he slashed, the pain in Ciel’s heart deepened.

“You kill mortals ten times faster than demons,” the winged demon whispered softly. “Should I praise you? Soon, you’ll kill more people than me.”

They’re not people…they’ve become monsters…there’s running sounds, from behind!

Ciel didn’t have time to react, and he was hit hard on the back, and a semi-demon with a big shoulder and a round waist came towards Ciel, the sharp angle on his head pierced into Ciel’s back muscles, pushed him away, and knocked him to the ground.

boom!

Ciel rolled on the ground for a few weeks and didn’t have time to catch his breath. He clenched the magic knife in his hand and rolled over to get up.

It hurts… it hurts like hell… He tried his best to endure the pain on his back.

In front of him, these half-demon and half-human monsters are all looking at him, all eager to share a piece of Ciel’s flesh and eat a wisp of Ciel’s soul.

The winged demon uttered a sharp cry again, and the voice penetrated into Ciel’s mind.

Soar, fly, control the airflow in the air, swim in the direction of the wind, dominate the sky, fly, spread your wings.

Ciel felt his back itching, something wanted to break out of there, yes, it would be nice if I could fly, and if I could fly, I could fight that demon.

Flying is a human ideal, and I should live it.

Grow wings, grow strong and vigorous wings…

roll!

Charles widened his eyes and clenched the blade.

First kill these people who are unfortunately corrupted by demons.

These people are going through the stage of being corrupted by demons, and they are still in pain and confusion. Many of them can’t even move, and they don’t respond to the knife from Ciel, so they are cut down just like that.

But there is also a particularly strong half-demon. It seems that once it is transformed, it is very familiar with the power of demons. The muscles of its upper body have swelled morbidly, and the dark armor is covered with demons. Behind it, its wings are slowly unfolding, completely like a winged demon. A small replica of a man with no trace of human beings on his face.

It also had a sharp horn growing on its head, and it was the one that knocked Ciel into the air just now.

“I’ll set you free,” Charles murmured.

The strong half-demon let out a roar, flapping its wings and swooping towards Ciel.

From top right to bottom left, cut out!

Ciel swung the knife vigorously, but his back was hit by it before, and he was bleeding in severe pain. At this time, his muscles were affected, and the pain caused Ciel to move slowly.

The half-demon rushed in front of Ciel, with a shocking posture, he waved his claws, and slapped Ciel to the ground. Several bloody wounds were drawn on Ciel’s chest.

He tumbled quickly on the grass, knowing that staying where he was was waiting to die, he stumbled up quickly, dodging the pursuit of the half-demon.

Its hoarse roar made Charles’ eardrums hurt.

Lying on the ground, looking at the menacing half-demon, Ciel hurriedly held a knife in one hand and stabbed it in its belly, piercing its waist and ribs.

Stab!

“Umm—” The half-demon backed away in pain, black blood flowing from the cut, and it looked around and quickly backed away.

It goes back, where is it going?

I can’t keep up with it, I’m in so much pain.

Charles gasped for breath, and the next second, his eyes widened.

Do not–

The wounded half-demon walked to the side of Tibbert who fell on the ground, grabbed the unconscious Tibert with both hands, and gnawed.

“啊啊啊啊——”蒂伯特从晕眩中惊醒，瞪大眼睛，肩膀被半恶魔咬下一大块肉。

Tibbert…damn…damn…I still can’t save him!

The half-demon devoured Tibbert’s body frantically, and the wounds on his body healed quickly. After recovering, it threw Tibbert’s broken body aside, wiped its mouth, and charged towards Ciel again.

These people were originally from fellow villagers…they were members of the same mercenary team…

Ciel held the blade high above his head and assumed the swordsmanship stance he had learned from the veteran, knowing that life and death were on the line.

It is very fast, and it is playing a game with Ciel. It tentatively raises its arm that has changed into a demonic claws and grabs at the top of Ciel’s head, but this is like a false move, it is trying to cover up its true attack intentions .

This monster seems to have remembered his combat experience as a human, which is really out of place.

Is this blow in front of you real?

Or is it skillfully feinting?

Should I raise the knife to block this claw, or back off?

Or dodge sideways?

Xia Er was extremely anxious.
