Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 231

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 231]

“Maybe it’s really hard to beat. The King of Darkness was weak when he first came to this world.” Gladiu guessed, “The gods of the Temple of Beauty can swarm it to suppress it, but it won’t be sure after that.”

“I heard that the shadow of Romana was sealed,” said Ciel.

“Yes,” agreed Dade I, “that day, I fought against the dark demons with me, not only me and a large number of noble knights, but also many folk adventurers. Dwarf warriors, goddess priests, elf archers, human shield guards, men The witch, and the demon hunters, these six responded to my call and performed brilliantly on the battlefield. After I finally won, we sealed the shadow of Romana and built a cage in the mountains to imprison it.”

“The demon hunter at that time…” Ciel asked, “what was it like?” He was very curious.

Dade I pondered for a moment.

“Frankly speaking, he is a villain,” said King Dade I. “He is free to do whatever he wants, but he knows how to imprison demons. He designed the cage with his own hands to imprison the shadow of Romana in the depths of the mountains, so that it cannot escape. Several heroic adventurers volunteered the rest of their lives to seal it.”

“They stay there?” Charles was startled.

“Yes, they guard the shadow day and night, knowing that once they show negligence, the shadow will escape and become stronger than ever. As long as it eats fresh souls, the power weakened by the gods will be restored quickly.” Dade I said .

“But that’s impossible, the Dark Lord has the power to corrupt everyone,” Ciel said.

“So it is,” Frederick II admitted. “By my time, the Shadow of Romana had corrupted all six of the heroes who guarded him, turning them into its most powerful undead puppets. The fallen heroes are the elite of the dark. They help the shadow escape, and the first thing it does after it leaves is to come to me.”

Frederick II sighed before continuing.

“…It told me that it wanted the country, and if I refused, it would be death.”

On both sides of the table, the kings were silent at first, and then laments and regrets sounded from time to time.

Frederick II buried his face in his hands: “Oh… my ancestors, how can I resist the dark demons? The shadow walking out of the mountains… I am not afraid of death, I refused its request, and immediately it He supported another nobleman, Eduardo Softel, who was originally a sub-aristocrat and an ordinary knight living in the suburbs of the king’s land. Eduardo easily enslaved everyone’s hearts with his black crown.”

“I don’t know why the Dark Demon chose my father,” Leopold asked.

Charles saw his brows furrowed. If it wasn’t for the Dark Lord, Leopold would have been born into a small noble family and lead a completely different life.

“Eduardo was rescued by the Dark Lord, drowning while crossing the river, praying to the void, only to be answered by the Dark Demon,” Frederick II said. “We know these things because a demon hunter came. To the mausoleum, he told us these secrets, he had been investigating these ancient details, and warned others of the impending crisis.”

Charles’ heart was pounding.

“Yes.” King Godel turned to look at Ciel, “You know that person, Etienne Jiushui, your master.”

The master has also been here.

Charles thought.

He has sat at this long table, where he once talked to the kings about the plan of salvation, and just like me, I inherited the mantle and will of the master, and reproduced his great achievements.

If Master Etienne sees me now, he will be very happy.

“He’s a tough guy,” Frederick II said. “Just like you, you’re tough.”

“It’s our fault,” King Godel admitted. “We’re just ghosts lingering in the world. We don’t have enough mana. We didn’t catch you in time and let you fall into the trap.”

“But you escaped.” Gerald I the “strong” looked at Charles with interest, “You two masters and students are really not easy, if you live in my time, I want you all to become the country’s Pillar.”

“Everyone has seen Master Etienne… Did he leave any important information, or something?” Charles asked.

“He told us something strange,” King Godel said with emotion, “We thought about it for a long time and didn’t understand it.”

“Yeah, what Etienne said.” The other kings also nodded.

“Very strange,” they commented.

“He said,” recounted Dade I, “‘every demon hunter is a slave of the demon, but if this relationship is broken, the hunter will not be a hunter’.”

“Does it remind you of anything?” asked King Godel.

“No…” Ciel shook his head, “Maybe… Maybe the master knows something, but I still don’t understand.”

Every demon hunter is a demon slave, why?

This may be related to the ultimate purpose of our demon hunters, the curses and mysteries that haunt our profession, and now look even deeper.

“Now,” said High King Godel, “what we have to do is give hope to the living.”

When King Godel looked at the other kings, everyone bowed their heads consciously and did not dare to disobey the majesty of the king. Godel was the ancestor of the kings of the Romanian Dynasty and the king of all kings.

“I will kill Eduardo, cut off the puppets and wings of the darkness, and finally face the darkness,” Ciel said.

“Before that, we have something for you.” A faint light bloomed in King Godel’s soul, and a dark golden light slowly rose, forming a breath from the top of his head.

Charles widened his eyes, and unconsciously felt a longing in his heart.

He knew very well what that was – divinity.

“After I died,” Godel said, “the people respected me as a god, which I didn’t want, but the power of faith still gradually formed a divinity in my soul.”

“…Are you going to give me such a precious thing?”

“Honestly,” Godel smiled, “what’s the use of divinity in this dark place? You, Ciel, you are the only one who can solve the demonic invasion and uproot the shadow of Romana. Ever since the Dragon Guards started talking about you, we’ve been looking forward to your visit one day to talk to us outdated ghosts.”

“The dragon hunter has been slaughtered by Mora…” Xia Er’s heart tightened.

“It doesn’t matter, the people who are loyal to the royal family are still there. They will rebuild the dragon hunting guards and continue to guard the tombs.” Dade I said, “I created this army, but I was mentally prepared for it to be annihilated from the beginning. The warriors have come one after the other, and hope will never die.”

Later, Dade I also took out a sharp red light from his arms.

“This is also divinity, but it is far less than the ancestors.” Dade I said, “Many people secretly regard me as an example, thinking that I am a mortal god of war, although there are few, but there is, if you can make good use of it , and maybe it will be all right.”

Divine King.

Divinity War.

Almost every strand of divinity has the power to destroy the sky and the earth, gathering five strands of divinity can open the way to the gods.

But Ciel has learned one important thing in the previous application, he must show the nature of the divine nature itself, otherwise it is difficult for the divine nature to fully exert its effect.

“I am not a king,” said Charles.

“But there is a qualified king here, and Leopold Softel can rule.” Godel looked at Leopold.

As soon as the voice fell, several objections sounded one after another.

“Only the Romanian family can rule the kingdom.” Gerald I the “strong” shouted, “We tried our best to maintain the blood of the family, isn’t it for the longevity of our own family? Charr , how can you take the divinity out and hand it over to the people of our Romanian family, how can you give it to the kleptocrats cheaply!”

“Yeah yeah.”

“Never.”

“The country we have worked so hard to build can’t be handed over to outsiders.” The other kings echoed.

Leopold’s face darkened.

Godel seemed to have expected this kind of thing to happen. He looked towards the end of the mausoleum: “In fact, there is something inside, Ciel.”

“What is it?”

“Fourth Hall of the Ritual,” said Godel, “that is the tomb of the god Edvard, where part of him inhabits.”

Edvard, the legendary Loman King, an ancient Loman hero, led Lomans to fight against elves and dragons under the scorching sun and heat, and finally was worshipped in the long history and ascended to heaven, becoming immortal. The God King of the Temple of Beauty…

“If you don’t agree with me.” Godel turned to the other kings, “Why don’t these two meet the God King Edwo? You will no longer object to the decision made by the God of Edwo.”

The kings nodded successively, expressing their approval.

“Then let them see the gods.” Gerald I frowned, “Hey, god king, don’t judge the divinity of our Romanian family to outsiders.”

Under the gaze of King Godel, a purple gate at the end of the palace slowly opened.

“Leopold, let’s go.” Charles turned to look at him.

“…Yes.” Leopold was clearly preoccupied.

Chapter 296 Partial Mortal Nature

Behind the purple door is a clean room, so clean that it doesn’t look like a place to store the body of a god.

When Charles and Leopold entered, the door closed on its own.

The moment the door closed, Leopold turned his head and stared at the door.

“What?” Charles walked into the room.

There are no furnishings here, and there is a platform near the wall to sit on, so Ciel finds a place to sit down. There is a rock coffin in the middle of the room, with an indistinct human figure engraved on the front, and his face is intentionally sharpened with a knife.

“I…” Leopold said, “…”

“Say something.”

“I can’t,” Leopold said. “How can I steal power from the Romanian family? Look at those kings, I grew up listening to their stories, and I wanted to be Dade I since I was a kid. A hero like that, saving thousands of people like Lord Godel.”

“They called you first, not me first.”

“Really? But…Gerald I is also someone I have admired since I was a child. I think he is the most heroic person in our country. I use him as an example to learn how to run the country. Then, I heard from him, He said he said he couldn’t take the ‘Kleptocrats’ cheap. Charles, do you know how much this hurts my self-confidence?”

“No expectations, no disappointments.”

“I don’t know how you got so calm,” Leopold said.

“Because I didn’t have anyone I admired since I was a child. Later, I had one, but I died a year later. My parents didn’t want me, and since then I’ve basically lived alone. You always have support, friends, and courtiers. , and the teacher, you can listen to other people’s opinions. But I can only try my best to live on my own, and I can’t control what other people say.” Ciel said.

“I also want to live your life, like a ranger.” Leopold sighed.

“You have to do something.”

“I really thought about one thing very seriously. You will inherit the two divinities. They say that divinity is a great thing. And I have seen the divine light shining on you before, maybe you are really qualified. ‘ruler’, perhaps you are more suitable to start a new dynasty…”

“I have nothing to do with hard work,” Ciel said. “I have seen a more advanced world, and I know that being a ‘king’ in this narrow country is not really interesting. It is better to go out of the country with your own skills. Be famous.”

After a pause, Ciel added:

“After Eduardo’s fall, you will take care of this country for me, correct the name of the demon hunter organization, and tell everyone how to deal with demons. I will be very happy.”

“I think power and women are the eternal pursuit of people.”

“There are more important things on top of this, which are my personal things. My only desire from beginning to end is to hunt down demons and clean them out of this world. I have already had many seniors die in such a cause. , I can’t let future generations be put into this cycle, so what I do is actually very meaningless.” Shire said.

“You know this clearly, but I’m still deeply troubled. When I leave the mausoleum, return to the flashy court, and return to the envoys, perhaps nothing will change.” Leopold said.

“Let’s see if God Edvor has…” Ciel turned to look at the sarcophagus and couldn’t help but widen his eyes, “That’s—”

Leopold also gasped.

On the sarcophagus sat a boy.

His features are roughly Loman-like, but his skin is much darker, his red hair is so light that it is almost pink, his body is naked, with only a hide around his waist, he sits On the coffin, I looked at Charles and Leopold quietly.

Ciel didn’t know what to do with God, so he could only greet him in a normal way, while Leopold knelt down on one knee, head to back of hands, offering a lofty etiquette.

“I’m not a god.” The boy said to Ciel, “There’s no need for etiquette, just treat it as you please.”

What?

Can you read my thoughts?

“This is a part of the power of the past.” The boy said.

Mind reading?

Isn’t that so… Gladiu… No, it feels too uncomfortable, as if the mind is being watched, but Gladiu can, after all, Gladiu is…

“If you don’t like it, I’ll stop.” The boy said.

Phew, it’s fine.

“Maybe this idiot is lying to you?” Gladio shouted inwardly.

The boy’s gaze on Ciel didn’t change in the slightest.
