Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 286
[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 286]
“Enough is enough,” Vageria ordered.
A half-dragon man like this must be rebellious, how can he follow your instructions.
Charles thought to himself.
“…Yes, Madam Sartos.” Velius was surprisingly docile, and he bowed his head to Vageria, “Did they do something?”
“They saved my life,” Vageria said.
“Your wound!” Velius’ pupils dilated, as if he wanted to see what was going on with Vazelia. “Have you encountered a demon? Are you alright?”
“No, it was Essilon who did it,” Vagelia hated. “Fortunately he’s dead now, otherwise I’ll have to hunt down that bastard.”
“It’s so confusing, I’ve never seen Asilon.” Velius whispered, “I want to find you, but I’ve been chased by this demon.”
“Esilon defected to the devil with a few slave soldiers, and almost killed me.” Vazelia raised her head, “Ah—”
Velius turned around and saw several figures appearing above the long steps.
They were dressed in neat armor, masks, and ornate ornaments on their armor. They were obviously Vajlia’s personal slaves, holding odd-shaped long knives or dark essence black crossbows, and their bodies were stained with dust and filth.
Each slave’s waist is covered with heads of large and small, from the devil little devils and big devils, as well as a rather large ugly head, which may belong to a middle-level demon that has just evolved.
“Where have you been! You bastards!” Vagelia scolded angrily.
The dark elf slaves hurried through the long steps and came to the lower floor. They quickly surveyed the entire battlefield, paying particular attention to the wreckage of the giant-winged demon. After confirming the situation, they walked neatly to Vagelia’s side, bowed and knelt down. , to show submission and allegiance.
“We are avoiding this Superlio, we are separated and reunite as much as possible.” A dark elf slave prayed.
“And then give up my life?” Vajelia was dissatisfied, “Give me all of you…”
“They’ll have to live to come back to protect you, Lady Sartos,” Velius persuaded.
Vazelia turned to the disengaged Ciel, her eyes gleaming with hunger.
“Okay, it doesn’t matter, you all step back first.” She strode towards Ciel.
“Don’t—” Ciel shouted with all his remaining strength, “Don’t run! Stay here! Don’t let her come over!”
Now I am so tired that my life is on the verge of death. If I get entangled by her, maybe I will be squeezed to death here today…
“As the saying goes.” Hejgagsen ran over, blocking Ciel and Vageria, “‘Everything is…”
“Get out of the way, shorty.” Vajelia was anxious, “I don’t have time to listen to you, we have already lost this game, and we must make some money.”
“No… no.” Velius strode forward, lifted Vageria like a chicken, and let her sit in his arms, as affectionate as holding a baby, “Satos Miss, you need rest, you need treatment!”
The wound on her neck was truly shocking.
The slaves stared at each other, noticing Vageria’s injuries.
Ciel had a bad premonition and gave Hejagesen a look for help. Hejagesen immediately nodded, quickly carried Ciel on his back, and ran away.
“Catch him here—Eh! Eh! Don’t run!” Vagelia turned her head and saw Hejgagsen running up the stairs with her legs stretched out, and she couldn’t help screaming, “Hurry up and chase!”
The dark elf slaves immediately understood and followed suit.
Charlie was a little unable to cope, and he couldn’t help but feel nervous when he heard the dense footsteps behind him.
If he is caught by Vazelia and her slaves, he will probably be brought back to the city of the dark elves as a son of a bitch.
He remembered that a long time ago, the old wizard Draco of Ashtree Hall had warned him that there were men who were once caught in the dark elf city to do endless breeding services. It does look dangerous.
What exactly is that situation?
It will really be bound to the wall, and it will be hard for 24 hours, and then the female dark elves will come and squeeze in the name of the sacred, such a thing…
Charles thought in a mess.
Hejageson’s stamina was low, and after running for a while, he began to gasp for breath, like a broken bellows, making bursts of noise with each breath, making people worried about his health.
And those dark elves kept their pace steady, and the distance between them and Hejgagsen quickly narrowed.
“Let me down, I can still stop them.” Ciel hoped that he had regained some strength.
“…” Haijagesen didn’t say a word, just ran silently.
He kept running, and kept running, until he got into a huge space. Hejergson gently put Ciel down, and then pulled down a lever. Ciel saw that he was in a place like a cage. After being pulled down, the connection with the corridor is immediately divided by the lowered metal railings.
Across the railing, the dark elves were unable to enter, and they cried out in frustration and regret. Someone tried to shoot, but was stopped by their companions.
Then, Ciel found that the cage he was in began to move upward, the noose was pulled, the gears turned, pulling the entire cage to a higher place at a constant speed, and soon it was staggered from the place where the dark elves were thrown away, and the scenery outside the railing also changed from The hallway became a falling wall of black stone.
He has a bizarre sense of weightlessness, the whole person seems to be sinking, and it seems to be floating up, there is an invisible force, he can’t tell the difference.
Finally, the elevator stopped at the highest point, and the outer metal railings descended in unison, returning to a row of round holes. Ciel saw a frozen corridor outside, with cold winds and snow on the road.
“This is…” Charles tried to stand up.
“Wait a minute.” Hejagesen bent over and put his hands on his knees, sweating down, gasping for breath, “hu…hu…hu…”
After about a few minutes, he took his breath away and stretched his arms vigorously.
“Crow’s Watch Rock is a military fortress. This is an external sentry tower, alerting to attacks from above.” Hejgagsen walked out and pulled a black handle. Ciel heard the banging sound of the iron teeth locking on the impact, “The lift is this way. We won’t go down for the time being, we can wait for your strength to recover before going back.”
“Thank you.” Charles greeted him.
“There’s nothing to be thankful for, brother,” said Heiggson. “If I were in a similar situation, you’d help me too.”
“Yes.” Xia Er’s heart warmed.
He walked through the corridor with Heigagsen. The sentry tower seemed to have been abandoned. There were several large wooden barrels piled up in the corner, all covered with frost. Turning around the barrels, he saw a few frozen dwarf corpses on the back. Glitter mushrooms came out, but they were still scary, their beards were frozen, and they couldn’t rest their eyes, as if harboring great resentment.
“It’s the brothers who died in the attack.” Hejgagsen helped them close their eyes. “Fortunately, there is no fog here, otherwise they will be manipulated.”
“Mist?”
“It’s better to see from a height.” Hejgagson pointed to the spiral staircase leading to the bottom of the tower.
Ciel climbed the stairs made of limestone step by step.
It’s really cold here, and his hair is standing on end. It shouldn’t be because of the season, but the altitude. He spent nearly a minute in the elevator just now. Who knows how high he climbed in the process.
At the top of the sentry tower, Ciel supported the icy column and looked into the distance, the vast world unfolded in front of him.
In front of it is an undulating snowy ridge, vast and boundless, covered with white snow that never melts all year round. The highest mountain is connected to the cloud layer. The snow on the ridge slides down, exposing the ancient rocks below. The color is dull, like the black fingers of the mountains. , the cold air swirls.
“Beautiful…” Ciel couldn’t help but blurt out, “I’ve never seen such a big snow-capped mountain before.”
“This is the top of the Great Rift Valley, called Furnace Ridge. Our ancestors built blast furnaces underground long ago, hence the name. This is the hometown of most dwarves. If you come across a dwarven fortress in Loman, ask Their origin must be related to Furnace Ridge.” Hejagesen said proudly.
Towards the west, he saw that the hills had become lower, and near the plains and wilderness, Charles saw unspeakable… spectacles.
Quite a terrifying spectacle.
Enough to make him feel astonished from the bottom of his heart.
“Hygargson… what is that?” He pointed to the area.
Hajjgsen leaned over, noticed what Ciel was pointing at, and shuddered as well.
“No… no way…” he murmured, “has it become like this… more than before…”
Chapter 360 Fog
He saw a thick and indissoluble ugly fog.
So thick that it looks like solid glue rather than a light cloud.
It is dark, so sunlight cannot pass through.
The fog doesn’t change with the light, and it always takes on that eerie, hateful color of chaos.
There are fog-infested places on the edge of the mountain. The situation is as bad as the disease. The trees are completely withered, and there is no trace of animals. Even the snow is eroded by the fog and turned into an ugly black. The river was originally clear, and after flowing into the foggy area It also became cloudy immediately.
This is just the edge.
Ciel looked into the depths of the foggy area and was startled, where even the sky had fallen, covered by a black miasma, and the clouds were reflected in a degenerate gray-green.
In the dim mist, he could vaguely see the lost ancient empire, the civilization was dead, and its corpses were putrid and decaying. He saw cities, market towns, and villages, large and small, all very ancient in style, made of soil, thatch and Pieces of original roof tiles, bronze sculptures of flying dragons, collapsed in the mud.
Everything is looming, soaked in filth, and people have no desire to explore at all.
“This is…” Ciel frowned, “Is it a dark place? It is as unpleasant and depraved as the rumors say.”
“In the beginning, there was only dragon miasma. At that time, there was no such layer of fog on the ground. The fog came later.” Hejagesen also looked at it, “and the fog area is still expanding. When the strong wind blows, the foothill area will be covered by fog. Yes, it will even float into the sentry tower.”
“I hate this kind of fog, thinking that Fort Ryan and the Secret Sanctuary are here… in the depths of the fog area.” Ciel was a little disturbed, “Is there a way to dispel the fog?”
“If only there was, we’ll take the lead in dispersing the fog, no one likes it.” Hejgagsen pointed south, “Look.”
The fog gradually dissipated with the distant view, and near the horizon, a corner of the civilized world was revealed.
He saw small rolling hills, and huge shimmering lakes, like mirrors embedded in the earth, with fishing villages vaguely beside the lakes, and scattered military fortresses built on the hills, with wooden fences and long walls between each other connected, enclosing the boundary behind the wall.
“The Mountain Empire.” Ciel blurted out, “A country built around the Lake of Miracles.”
“Yes,” said Heigagsen, “the fog was so strong that it invaded the Yamauchi Empire, and the large-scale invasions covered by the fog made the emperors of the Yamauchi Empire miserable, so They don’t hesitate to spend huge sums of money to build a line of defense to resist the creatures in the fog, and of course, to guard against the Frostfallen people from the northeast. They also tried to build a long wall, and no one could get through it, but because of funding problems, there was no Finished.”
The Frost Falls invaded not only our country, but also the Shannei Empire.
Shire looks east, where there are many mountains, rivers and valleys intertwined with each other, giving birth to large virgin forests and inaccessible.
Numerous barbarian tribes have lived in it for generations, following primitive regulations, believing in animism, worshipping pagan gods, and launching expeditions at the behest of priestesses and military chiefs.
“The creatures in the fog…” Thinking of what Hejgsen said before, Ciel put his eyes back into the thick fog.
Don’t ask Heiggason, now he sees one with his own eyes.
It was a giant made of fog, dark in color, and translucent in appearance, with a dark green demon flame burning in his eyes, walking hesitantly in the fog, there was a faint chain on its head, leading to one in the fog. The bright and dark flickering spherical core, the core also stretches out a large number of other chains, leading to other places in the mist, connecting other lives.
It is trying to climb a snowy mountain.
The foggy giant has a hazy figure, no shadow, but a real entity. Every step he takes, he leaves giant footprints on the snow, approaching the mountain step by step.
Ciel felt suffocated. This “thing” was at least twenty meters high, and he could still feel the pressure from such a long distance.
“It should be called the fog corpse.” Hejgagson said, “The fog will eat, the fog will digest, and the things that disappear in the fog will be assimilated by it. At first, it was a walking dead, and then the flesh and bones were also eroded and dissolved. In the end, just like the giant, it completely turned into a fog.”
“I clearly saw the same flames burning as the Disaster Walker. Could it be that this fog is also related to the Disaster Walker?”
Heigagson shrugged.
“Who knows? But, bro, if you really go to Fort Ryan one day, to the capital of the goddamn lost ancient empire, you must be careful not to be part of the fog, you will be mad and become another It’s just a fog.”
“Well…” Ciel was watching from the watchtower, and suddenly saw movement in the distance.
The sky passed densely packed figures, and there were at least hundreds of small black creatures, flapping their wings and sliding from the side of the sky to the south.
“Is it a bird?” Helgagsen noticed Ciel’s gaze, and looked in the same direction, “A lot of birds… no–no–”
“Disaster Walker.” Ciel felt a strong sense of unease.
It was actually a large group of small and medium-sized demons, countless, with wings growing on their backs, and they could fly freely in the sky. The dark appearance was out of place compared to the sky.
They pounced on the large fortresses built by the Yamanei Empire. Ciel wanted to see if the soldiers were victorious, but his vision was blocked by the terrain and obstructions. He could only imagine that the imperial soldiers there were fiercely resisting and fighting against demons.
“…” Hyggerson muttered, “Look, there are disaster walkers everywhere on the ground.”
When did demons become so commonplace in this world, Ciel observes the sky, behind the distant blue sky, you can vaguely see the cracks running through the sky, the white wedge cannot protect every place, the demons are entering this world every moment, harvesting fresh soul.
It’s time for the demon hunters to do their due diligence and show their talents, Ciel clenched his fists secretly, it’s time to show everyone what the demon hunters can do, it’s our responsibility, it’s our duty, and it’s our endless training After that, the best thing to do.
Wherever there are demons, there are corresponding hunters. If powerful demons dare to invade this world, I will kill them and send them back.
Once, ten times, a hundred times.
