Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 49
[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 49]
Ciel leaned over to the wounded, his teeth grinning, his lips pale, his expression painful, his body covered in blood and stains, his stomach bitten through, his intestines left outside, and he clumsily tried to help his companions back in, but couldn’t do it anyway. neatly in the stomach.
He will die soon.
“Does it do it?” Charles asked.
“If you think that that kind of thing is as big as a cow, full of fangs, and a furry thing is a dog, then that’s it,” said the guard dissatisfied.
Fearing that the souls of the wounded would be eaten by Gladius after the death of the wounded, Ciel went to a distant place.
“What?” Gladiu was shocked. “What!”
“What, he is a hero who was wounded heroically to protect everyone, how can he let his soul fly into your stomach.”
“Big idiot, after I devour my soul, I can use my power to help you.”
“You’re a demon, and I’m not. I don’t need you.” Ciel disagreed.
“Think about it, he’s just a guard with corrupt morals and bad conduct. He extorted vendors, drove away poor beggars, framed his upright colleagues in exchange for promotions, and beat up his family when he was drunk. , was accidentally bitten to death by a dog, and you were given the title of ‘Heroic Wounded’? There must be a limit to being a good person!”
“…First of all, these are all made up by you.”
“Indeed, I made it up, but it’s probably what I said! Mortals are always so selfish.”
Ciel looked back at the guards. They looked nervous, panicked, and worried. Most looked tired and sleepy.
“On such a night, they are willing to leave the bed and gather to fight against unknown monsters, which shows their courage, not to mention being injured in the battle… You can never enjoy their souls.”
“I’m fed up with your inexorable sense of justice, stay away from me.” Gladiu hid in the depths of Ciel’s soul and stopped shouting.
Ciel asked them about the situation: “Where are the monsters now?”
“At the earl’s mansion.” The guard looked nervously at the road up the hills in the city, “We came here following the barking of dogs. There are guards in the castle, but there are also participants. The monsters must have broken in… But we … We can’t help it. You’ll know when you go forward, there’s no way we can…” The guard looked frustrated.
Impossible to enter… Ciel pursed his lips, the situation was more difficult than he imagined.
“Is it a monster?” Charles asked.
“That thing…that thing is invincible,” the guard said terrified. “You’ll know it when you’ve been there. I’ve never seen anything like that. It’s something that came out of a nightmare.”
“Many people were killed.” Others were quite frightened.
He looked at the others and found that Du Wen walked to the other side of the street, as if he didn’t want to be seen by the guards. What shameful thing did he do?
“Are we going?” Madden asked uneasily, not daring to look at the seriously wounded guard.
“Don’t avoid his eyes, you have to get used to dead people,” said Charles.
Madden looked nervously at the wounded, his eyes lost the light as he watched him die.
The process was clearly stressing him out.
“We’ve got to find out who did it and avenge him,” Madden whispered.
“you’re right.”
They quickly walked up the paved road and approached the hill where the Count’s castle stood. There were row upon row of tall towers. The stone walls of the fortress were towering, nearly three or five meters high.
Looking beyond the wall, Ciel saw vaguely the blurry shadow of the tall building. The main building was still magnificent in the moonlit night, but everything had changed, the monster had entered, and the murder had already happened.
The guards stood far away from the entrance of the castle in fear, and Charles glanced at the gate, a little surprised.
“Strange…” Ines widened her eyes.
“Are we going to deal with that kind of thing? Ciel, Lord Ciel? I’ll throw a spear at it at your command.” Madden was a little nervous.
The gate of the castle opened, and it was unobstructed, but at the entrance stood a large dog, covered in black hair, so thick that it almost resembled the mane of a lion, its mouth was full of blood and teeth, and its head had turned red from blood.
Such a majestic beast really cannot be called a “dog”.
It leaned down, ready to pounce, grinned at the approaching Ciel, and let out a gloomy roar. This sound was very scary and evoked fear in people’s hearts. Worst of all, Ciel saw a mutant horn growing on the top of its head. , covered with demonic armor scales, as if it had reached the late stage of the demonization process.
Around the giant dog, the corpses of four guards fell in random directions. They all wore mail and leather burqas, but these protective gear were completely vulnerable to the big dog. On the side, the shield has huge scratches and dents.
No wonder the castle is inaccessible, Shire thought to himself, this kind of monster is not something people can deal with.
“What are you doing here?” A guard with short dark red hair and a serious expression came over, wearing a gold-trimmed cloak, with the lord’s green hyacinth shield sewn on it, better equipped than others, wearing a sturdy half-length wrought iron armor, as if The leader of the guards present.
“To solve the crisis.” Ciel looked at the dog, “I am the Demon Hunter, Ciel.”
“I remember you.” He frowned, “I followed you on horseback when you kidnapped Gina.”
“Oh.” Ciel discerned carefully, but still couldn’t remember, he seemed to be a leader of the guards.
“I’m Reese, Captain of the Guard.” He saw Ciel like this, knowing that Ciel didn’t remember him, he was a little angry, “I have a lot of records for you hunters here.”
“The previous people are dead, you can already clear all those criminal records.”
“Dead? Someone like Master Frederick?”
“I’m sorry, but we are the successors.” Ciel drew out his gray knife, “Let’s solve it.”
“Impossible.” The captain of the guard shook his head.
“That monster is very strong.”
“Fear.” A terrifying voice sounded in a low voice, “Fear…”
The people present were amazed and turned their eyes to the source of the sound. It was the dog, which was making a human-like sound.
Does demonization make creatures speak?
This was too strange, and Ciel kept his eyes on the big dog, trying to see if there was any other change in it.
“Let me eat you… Demon Hunter…” The big dog’s eyes stared at Ciel, changing the angle of attack, eager to try, its different voice entered his mind, leaving a disturbing echo, “Let me eat your soul …you…weak…very weak…your soul…twisted and humble…”
Ciel turned the gray knife in his hand and lifted it diagonally upwards according to his swordsmanship posture.
“What do you want?” The captain of the guard hurriedly stopped Ciel, “Don’t go! Several of us can’t kill it together.”
“Are you the commander of the guards?” Charles asked.
“…What kind of attitude is this.” The captain of the guard frowned. “Do you want me to repeat it? I’m Rhys of Ashtree Hall, the captain of the guard tower.”
“Go and gather people, but as long as you have good quality and courage, and those who are hesitant or timid in daily life, don’t let them join in. We have to face a powerful enemy.” Ciel instructed .
“You still want to command me? Then what do you want to do? You want to die? Don’t think you can despise your opponent because you are a hunter!” Reese raised his voice.
“I’m going to kill it, or you won’t be able to get in.” Charles observed the big dog.
“Just you?” Rhys questioned. “Didn’t you hear that guy? It thinks you’re weak.”
“Don’t be reckless! Wait for reinforcements, are you crazy?”
“You don’t think you can really do it, do you?”
“Don’t die!” the others shouted.
“It thinks I’m weak, but it doesn’t mean I’m really not good.” Ciel only believed in the sharp blade in his hand and the muscles in his arms.
“We can help you!” Madden yelled. “Let me do it! I can shoot it!”
Ines also took out the magic rope and was eager to try.
“Save some energy, this guy is just an appetizer in the attack. You have to help me deal with the righteous master with eight eyes.” Ciel has to accumulate everyone’s resources and abilities, so as to improve the ability to deal with the ultimate beast ‘s odds.
“Despise me…very good…a start…” The monster’s body posture was lower, ready to launch a fatal attack at any time.
“Want to go alone? Alright, let me see the Demon Hunter’s battle.” Ines focused on Ciel’s movements.
Charles walked forward, two or three steps.
“Ow!” The monster roared, his legs flicked, his muscles exploded with great strength, and his heavy body pressed against Ciel.
“Didn’t he hide?”
“what!”
“He’s dead!” People couldn’t help shouting.
Xia Er stared calmly. He was beaten by a giant dog before, and his body was still in pain. It is absolutely impossible to fight this monster recklessly. The key is…
“Flowing shadows!” His body quickly sank into the darkness and escaped into the shadows. The world in front of him quickly compresses and collapses. The light and shadow lose their vertical axis and expand in all directions. Everything he sees stretches to the plane surprisingly. No more stereoscopic feeling.
The big dog pounced, but the ground was empty, scratching with its claws in confusion, while the shadow of Ciel slid like running water, then reappeared behind him, regaining his form.
He slashed sharply and slashed through the belly of the big dog from the side and the back. Its attention was all on the front. At this time, it suddenly received this blow and instinctively chose to retreat, but Ciel did not give it a chance to escape and continued to pursue. The blade of the blade breaks the bone, and the flesh and the tendon are broken.
Then the fierce barking turned into a series of lamentations.
“Wonderful.” Gladiu exclaimed briefly.
People were stunned. Seeing the big dog laying on the chopping board like a piece of meat under the Shire knife, it desperately tried to escape, but in an instant, its limbs were cut off, black blood burst from its mouth, and its twisted body fell to the ground. .
“You, how did you…” Reese swallowed, “Such a terrifying monster…”
Ciel wiped the blood stained from his body, gasped, and pressed his aching muscles.
“How can monsters beat me?” He shook his head.
Chapter 63 Disaster on Earth
They went through the castle gate.
The courtyard is very wide, with neatly manicured lawns, paved with a rectangular stone walkway for carriages to pass through, and a beautiful pavilion in the distance, supported by four marble columns, with pairs of benches in the middle, and a fountain near the wall , The statue of a child holding a pot looked at the two servant corpses on the ground with empty eyes. A dog was burying its head and nibbling on the wreckage, biting out the liver, and swallowing it with its neck back after a little bit of bite.
“It’s disgusting.” Ines picked up her crossbow, squinted at the dog’s body, pulled the trigger, and the arrow flew out.
The arrow was fast and accurate, and passed through the dog’s eye socket. It shook violently, and then fell softly.
“That’s right.” Madden sighed.
“Crossbows are illegal.” Captain Rhys said out of respect for the law.
“It’s different in the right hands.” Ines replied nonchalantly.
Reiss wanted to say something more, but because of Ciel’s presence, he swallowed the words back.
Charles looked up at the main building. The walls were made of beautiful stone. The lintel near the top was carved with swimming fish, flowers and hyacinths. There were many square windows on each floor, which were ten feet wide.
He remembered that the Earl’s castle used to be brightly lit, but now there is no light in it. It seems that there is no one living in it, but it is impossible… The most terrifying situation is that the devil has slaughtered everyone in the castle, no matter the nobles or the commoners.
Rhys has brought more staff, and he beckons people to collect the bodies of the dead in time, record the situation, and control the situation.
“You go to inspect the west tower, you go to inspect the city wall, you go to the warehouse, and you go to the living people, but don’t be alone.” Reis ordered a large number of guards behind him, and then stopped an adjutant, “Today Everything that happened that night has been recorded, and when Lord Rene returns, he will know everything.”
What will Rene think?
Rene would question me again.
Charles pondered.
Where did the demon beasts come from?
What’s up with these mutated little devil dogs?
He speculates that the local temple is inextricably linked with demons, but if he tells the Count this unfounded speculation, he will definitely not believe it, and then it will be the Hunter’s Sanctuary that will be stigmatized.
Ciel once thought that the demons escaped on their own, but now it seems that there must be black hands behind the release of the demons. They deliberately seized the empty space in the temple and released the imprisoned demons, causing chaos in the world, the temple and the temple. Thieves’ Guild is involved.
“Bullshit, they run because of your lack of control. If a hunter stays in the sanctuary, will those thieves succeed?” Gladius shouted.
“If there is only one hunter left in the sanctuary, the thieves will kill him and free the demons.”
“Your arrogance caused everything, and you thought no one would dare to attack the church.”
“As long as there are still people with ulterior motives, the church can never be safe… They are always looking for opportunities.”
“You’re right, the demon followers are inexhaustible! We are immortal! Our servants follow! There will always be people against you!”
“There will always be someone hunting you.”
