Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 39

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 39]

“It seems that there are five things, didn’t you just grab it in the chaos?”

The first was a bottle with a sticky red liquid in it. Ciel picked up the bottle and walked to the window to observe by the moonlight. It looked thick.

“What is this?” Charles asked.

“A powerful poison, I don’t know what kind of creature it was collected from, let’s call it red poison.”

poison……

“The poison in your collection must be very powerful.”

“Not necessarily, it may have been collected by the little devils. I only know that it can definitely kill people.”

“How to use it, I don’t know when it will take effect, and I don’t know what traces it will leave on my body. It may even take effect just by smelling it…” Xia Er thought wildly.

“Of course it has great characteristics, this poison does not belong to your world, which means that the effects it causes are completely untraceable, it is impossible for people to find the source of this poison, and the symptoms it causes are not the same as this one. Like the poison the world already has. Use it to murder your enemies.”

Poison… Harmful… Hiding poison in food, in water… These are not what Ciel is good at. He collected his thoughts, hid the poison jar in the cabinet, and then checked other things.

He picked up what looked like a strange musical instrument. Several strings were tied to a long blackstone rod. The bottom end was wide and fan-shaped, as if it could be used for plucking. It was different from other pianos that Shire had seen.

“You are such a genius, so many powerful treasures, you just picked up a banjo back.” Gladiu complained.

“Does it have any mana and special effects?”

“This is just an ordinary piano, it should have been picked up in some jungle world.”

Charles plucked the strings and made a particularly crisp musical sound, breaking the silence of the night. He quickly stopped his hand so as not to disturb others.

There were still three things left, and Ciel picked up a bracelet-like thing. It was very beautiful. It was made of black mineral, and the surface was covered with cracks in bright gold and gray. craft.

“It’s a Tokachi stone bracelet,” Gladiu said.

“Tokachi Stone?”

“You put on the bracelet and shake it.”

“Don’t fool me.”

Ciel put on the bracelet on his right wrist and tried to shake it. The rocks shimmered slightly, and an upward lift appeared on his hand. He slowly lifted his hand up. Wrestling with the bracelet, but the bracelet persistently lifted Ciel’s hand high, and he felt that his body was about to be suspended by it, and now he had to hold his right hand high, which was very different.

“What kind of power is this…” Ciel was a little helpless, his right hand was raised like this, and he couldn’t put it down.

“Don’t worry.” Gladiu squawked strangely, “It doesn’t store much energy, and it will turn into an ordinary black stone bracelet after a while.”

“Tokachi Stone… Can it float?”

“This is an anti-gravity stone, which is very common in hell, and your world should not have it.”

“What do you mean by antigravity?”

“Gravity is a force that pulls your feet from below so you can’t jump too high or fly.”

“Then anti-gravity is what makes us fly and jump.” Ciel suddenly realized.

“How happy are the simple-minded.”

In any case, these few seem to be not particularly powerful treasures.

“Your eyesight is too bad.” Gladiu sneered.

“It’s your collection that’s so weird.”

“nonsense.”

When Tokachi Ishiri’s power was exhausted, Ciel could put down his hanging right hand again.

He picked up the important charred ring and put it on his finger.

The poison bottle, the piano, the Tokachi stone bracelet, the charred ring, Gladius said there were five treasures, and there should be one last, but Ciel didn’t see it.

“It’s hiding from you,” Gladiu said.

He focused his attention and swept his eyes around the bed. Because of the lack of bedding, he soon saw a small amulet on the wooden board moving at a negligible speed. .

A moving amulet?

Charles couldn’t help but pick it up.

He picked up the living amulet like a small animal and put it in his palm. It desperately tried to escape from Ciel’s hand. Ciel swore that he didn’t use any force, but it could just move gently in his hand, and once Little by little it fell towards the edge.

“What the hell is this?” Ciel held the amulet in his hand, lest it escape again.

“A corundum talisman from a conquered world.”

“…The world destroyed by demons…”

“Yes, I remember it was a cold magical world, still taking shape, people developed some impressive culture, their resistance was sweet, what a pastime. Open the door demons open the porch between the worlds , hundreds of millions of demons are rushing in, and the consequences can be imagined.”

“It’s moving.”

“There is a timid, mage-like thing, in order to avoid the pain of being killed, and in order to avoid being swallowed by the devil, hid his soul in this stone.”

“Why do you keep running away…”

“Of course, it is afraid of you, you have my breath in you, and the devil is what it fears the most. We have brought too much pain to that world. Compared with what the world has encountered, the ‘sea of corpses and blood’ is simply It’s child’s play. They’ve done a lot, they’ve had a lot of great attempts, great leaders and heroes. They think they’re incompetent, but it’s actually just bad luck. We need souls. It was a good time, I There are many things that can be cut. I will deliberately let them find some opportunities to win, and then kill their hopes when they are infinitely close to victory. If you keep giving false hope, the pain of a complete failure will be thousands of dollars. Multiply,” Gladiu described happily.

“Is there really a soul in it?” Ciel picked up the amulet and observed it in the moonlight. The whole round amulet was made of a material similar to corundum. It was exquisite and flawless. on clothes.

“After about 30,000 years, the hidden soul has dissipated, leaving only the traces and instincts left by the original soul when they lived there. Hey, the so-called idea of avoiding disaster and immortality is also true in the time scale of ten thousand years. A joke. In a world discovered by demons, intelligent life only ends up fighting to the death, and everything else is the same as ordinary annihilation. Oh, Ciel, what do you think such a talisman would be useful for?”

Ciel thought about it, the talisman trembled slightly on his knuckles, and he raised his palms in front of his eyes.

“Let’s work together, I’m the one who hunts demons,” said Ciel. “When the demons approach, you tremble to remind me.”

“You’re talking to white corundum, you’re such a fool.” Gladiu sneered.

However, the talisman really stopped shaking and stayed calmly on Ciel’s fingers, as if he could understand the meaning of Ciel’s words.

Maybe some time ago, the soul that disappeared in a certain moment still did not give up the idea of fighting against the devil.

Ciel hung it on the clothes around his waist, and then focused on the last treasure – the charred ring.

He stroked the sanctuary stone wall, pointed it at it, and slowly learned how to use the charcoal ring.

Like using a magic rope, he focused his attention on his finger, gazing at it, constantly trying to unleash the power contained in it.

hiss–

There was no fire, just a lot of smoke escaping from it, making people start coughing, sparks lit up on the ring, and a series of crackling sounded.

“Won’t this burn my fingers?” The place where the ring was worn was already warm.

“Maybe, you haven’t really started to release it yet. But this place is too small, if you don’t want to blow up where you live in the future, you’d better try it another day.”

Charles agrees.

After all this, he lay down on the bed, ready to rest.

“Ready to rest? You’re a lazy bastard.”

“We need sleep.”

“There are long hours to work all night,” Gladius rambled. “We will go again next time, and my strength will continue to recover, and you will become more and more skilled. We will not Stop and go back and forth between hell and this world, think about what we can do, I can cut the barrier of the world, think about it, Ciel, I am…”

Charles’ eyelids grew heavier.

Perhaps because Gladiu talked too much, Ciel sank into the demon’s consciousness while half asleep.

The blade appeared.

It’s a concept that when people are talking about being sharp, people are talking about a knife, something with a blade that’s designed to cut through things.

So everything related to it converges into a certain desire. In order to cut the enemy, or in order to open a certain kind of fruit, a creature in the real world has evolved sharp limbs. At the same time, the most primitive blade demon also followed Born from hell, it carries the ideal of dissecting things.

The deduction of logic seems to follow, first encounter obstacles, and then want to destroy, and the knife can multiply the power.

The power of the same ingredients, with the assistance of the blade, can be concentrated on a single line, increasing the power several times.

So Gladiu is dedicated to cutting things.

Ciel saw Gladius slicing and slicing in hell, and cracks appeared on the stone wall under the action of the blade. Down, encounter the ocean in hell does not stop.

At that time, hell was divided into several disconnected cavities, and different demons lived in each cavity. The demons could not communicate with each other, because there were endless stones in the middle, which were composed of the original materials of the world.

So the demons begged it:

“Gladius, please use your knife to cut through the walls of hell and connect the various spaces.”

Gladius didn’t care, it didn’t care what other demons thought, so he swung a knife hard and randomly connected two or three huge hell caves along the way.

The rift it created permanently affected many things in hell, and demons could meet each other from then on, but this was not in the interests of all demons.

Some demons grew stronger in the war, some were wiped out, some were enraged by the damage to their lands, and some had their palaces completely destroyed.

So the demons forced Gladius to stop his work, saying to it: “You can’t do this, you should do what we want, and you will open up hell for us.”

Gladius arrogantly rejects all demons, so the demons no longer humbly, but cursed Gladius loudly, and refused to associate with it, hitting it when they saw it.

Gladiu ignored it, and continued to cut and cut according to his own ideas.

“What did you see?” Gladiu found the Ciel sinking into its consciousness.

“Nothing,” said Charles.

“Don’t look around in my memory, you idiot.”

After seeing what Ciel saw, there are other demons who can do similar things to Gladius. They follow the opinions of the demons, connect hell, change the shape of hell, and break the state of isolation everywhere.

So the demon gods can communicate with each other and build their homes according to their own preferences, and there are many pores in hell that have become prosperous since then.

They ostracized Gladius and forced it to live in the most desolate rock pits of hell, where they had been, those barren caverns, everything was cut from the cobblestone of hell, only the most hated fiends and it Live together, as neighbors.

“Gladius, I took over your territory.” Ciel heard the voice of the Flame Demon King, when did this memory come from?

just now?

“I burned your armies, your commanders and confidants, your fortresses, those sharpened weapons you were most proud of, and your kin and subordinates. I forced your Followers kill each other, where my flames go, everything you once held dear is gone, you don’t need that, you’re out of here, you’ve left me, people lit the flames, isn’t it to forge the blade ?”

Gladius responded with an almost frantic laugh that stabbed Ciel unbearably, resounding like a thousand gusts of wind in the valley.

He could only wake up.

Chapter 51 About Cities

In the morning, Charles went down to the dining room.

The winter sun shines through the windows, the stone walls are thick and cold, the long tables are lined with uniform-style back chairs, the cushions have been stolen, leaving the chairs bare.

The stone walls are engraved with intricate patterns and reliefs. The chandelier on the top only leaves the iron lamp stand. The fireplace is empty, and the embers have accumulated a thick layer.

Ines sat at the table with her boots up, and she changed into a woolen cloak with a black turtleneck underneath.

“It’s more broken than I thought.” Ines complained casually. “The stove is empty, the bed is hard, and all the decorations are missing.”

Charles went to the adjacent kitchen and glanced at the baskets with milk, cheese and meat on the stone counter.

“Have you been out?”

“Of course, if we can’t train that brat to be a servant, we’ll have to do it ourselves. Lord Ciel.”

Charles heard the rustling sound and saw Hope following him. When did it start following him?

“There are thousands of things like you in hell, constantly fighting each other, being called to and fro by powerful demons.” This was one of the things that impressed Ciel the most.

“Gah.” Hope blinked.

“How do you know what’s going on in hell? Have you been there?” Ines asked curiously.

“Devil scholars will study this aspect, and qualified hunters should know everything about demons.” Ciel prevaricates.

“There are dead people in the streets, maybe it’s the devil, what do they say ‘witch’.”

“What?” Charles realized something was wrong.

“You should go and see for yourself. People in the city are talking about witch killings. When I went out, people were a little flustered. After all, you are the only demon hunter here…” Ines pulled back her hair. .

“certainly.”

“Do you have any other orders for me? If not, I’m going to work. My lord.” Ines shrugged and put her feet off the table.
