Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 50

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 50]

Ciel walked up the steps leading to the gate of the main building, pushed it open, and there was a bloody aura on his face.

He saw that the environment was dim and there were several corpses lying on the ground. The structure of the hall was open, with a chandelier hanging in the middle. There were steps on each side in a spiral shape leading to the second floor. Going forward led to the living room and dining room on the ground floor. There was a carpet, one of the rare decorations in Rene’s simple castle, and it was soft to step on, but the lights were all out, and Ciel couldn’t see anything clearly.

“Torches…” Ciel looked back, and Du Wen stepped forward in time to help Ciel illuminate the surrounding situation.

Under the light of the fire, a few pairs of faint green gazes in the dark retreated slightly. Ciel held the knife in his hand, and the dog group had invaded the room.

“Be careful.” Ciel walked towards the dogs. “You all pay attention, there are monsters here.”

“Is that a dog?” Ines followed, “Charle, I don’t think something is right…”

After the firelight completely illuminated them, Ciel was stunned. They were human, dressed as servants. They were lying on the ground on all fours, wandering on tiptoe, their eyes glowed with green light, and their teeth became sharp. There were males and females. Because of this, the palms are very dirty.

“What’s the matter?” The guards walked in, a little surprised.

“God…”

“Are they crazy?”

“Should we kill them?”

These wandering people are unfortunate, apparently their minds have been destroyed by demons, so that they have the characteristics of being contaminated by demon spirits, and their minds are filled with the concept of dogs and beasts, so that behavior and gestures will become the same.

This process is irreversible…Irreversible…Since the soul has been contaminated, there is no possibility of returning to its original state. They can only maintain this form for life, live like wild animals, be kept in captivity like livestock, or be brutally hunted and killed.

“You… how are you?” Madden stammered.

These poor half-dogs whimpered hoarsely, while others growled, bared their teeth, and grimaced.

Is there a man with blood in his teeth who bit someone else like an animal?

Charles didn’t dare to think.

“What should we do with them?” Rhys folded his hands on his chest. “What is this? Ciel, are you scared by the devil? I know a few of them…”

“Severe hysteria or something.” Ciel’s heart was full of bitterness, “It can’t be cured.”

“Then only kill them,” Reiss ordered.

“Wait.” Charles quickly stopped.

Ordinary people are mentally distorted by witnessing powerful demons. This is one of the serious negative effects of demonic attacks. Their minds are broken, their souls are demonized, and black deposits are formed… Then they deserve to die?

Shire believes they are victims of disaster.

The few semi-demonized mercenaries before, who were clearly still human before, were shot and killed, and they died tragically, leaving a very heavy psychological pressure on Ciel.

“You can’t save them! You can’t save them! Let them die! Let me eat their souls!” Gladiu screamed.

Ciel pressed his forehead, and the guards held swords in hand, waiting for him to speak.

They are ready to kill these mad servants.

“Have you forgotten what the female knight said? It’s not your duty to save people, you are an ordinary person, you can’t save anyone! Just let them die! You don’t know them! They suffer when they live! Death It’s bliss!”

“I can find a way…I can definitely find a way…to turn them back…”

“Want to find a way to reverse demonization? You stupid head also want to help others?”

“I think…I will definitely find a way…even if it’s very difficult…I have to find a way…”

“You are sure to lose! You are sure to lose!” Gladiu continued to torture Ciel’s mind.

“Don’t be noisy.” Ciel blurted out, and when he saw people’s gazes, he realized that he just said it directly, instead of confining it to his heart.

“We didn’t quarrel.” Everyone felt aggrieved.

“Can these people be cured?” Ines looked at the servants. Although they moved like dogs, they didn’t mean to attack or escape.

“I don’t know, there might be a way…not now. But as long as there is a chance to heal them, they shouldn’t die.” Charles panted.

“Take them in first, so as not to endanger the security, and don’t let the lunatics run around. There were a few people who went crazy because they saw the flying demon.” Reiss suggested.

“Thank you, let them be temporarily… protected by you. When I find a way, I will help them.” Ciel sighed.

“Does it make you crazy when you see a demon? So how do we fight it?” Madden looked up at the darkness above the stairs, where demons lurked in every corner.

“So I have to find a way. There are also demon hunters who go crazy because they can’t defeat the demons in their hearts. Only by finding a way to cure this mental distortion can we fight against demons better. Before that, make sure you have firm beliefs.” Xia Er said.

“If I only have firm beliefs, I won’t lose to the devil.” Madden clenched his fists.

The guards walked over, cautiously approaching these dog-like servants, and one of the maids suddenly turned her feet on the ground, passed them, and walked towards Shire.

“Be careful!” Rhys drew his sword.

Ciel stared at the maid, her eyes were blank and her teeth were sharp. If it weren’t for this terrible change, she should have been a beautiful young woman.

“Up…” She pointed to the heights with her finger, “please go quickly…”

“What’s on it?”

“Miss Gina…she’s scared…please…” She said with difficulty, then lowered her head, her eyes fixed on the ground, and her movements were as sluggish as an animal.

“I’ll take care of the monster, don’t worry.” Ciel watched as she crawled back to the other mad servants.

The existence of every demon is a great harm to the human world. Ciel raised his head, I am a demon hunter, and we must not let them do anything wrong. We must find hope in this piece of suffering.

He trotted up the stairs and headed for the heights, and the people followed him with his backbone, and in this case, they chose to trust the judgment of the Demon Hunter.

The footsteps of the crowd were dense, and Ciel felt relieved to hear the movement of so many people moving together.

There were more corpses along the way, both servants and castle guards, some real dogs lingering around, Charles imagined what was happening in the castle tonight, and Lord Rene left with most of them. Soldiers, wizard Draco were also absent, and the dogs took the opportunity to break into the unguarded castle, slaughter and devour souls.

The guards rushed up with their spears and killed them. These dogs were as strong as the dogs that Shire had dealt with before, but now it was the guards who had the upper hand in numbers.

In this case, the number of people has become an advantage.

Ciel believed that as long as everyone was mentally prepared, there should not be too many problems even if they looked directly at the giant eight-eyed dog.

Ciel turned a hallway, and a demon hound who had been lying in wait for a long time saved him.

“Wang!”

Its impact was so ferocious that Ciel had to retreat again and again.

It’s a bit difficult to do… Now my physical strength and injuries have not fully recovered, and Ciel is holding the handle of the knife, a little uneasy.

“Come here!” Ines threw out the magic rope, the rope caught the hound’s body and tied it tightly. It wanted to continue to attack, but the rope quickly tightened its limbs, and it could only be bound to the ground, and its claws Stretching and growling.

“Kill it!” People rushed up, smashing and slashing at it, ending its tyrannical habit.

“Huh.” Charles breathed a sigh of relief, “Have you been able to use it so proficiently?”

“I didn’t let up when you were hanging out outside during the day.” Ines shrugged.

Chapter 64 The Survivors

“Come this way, Your Excellency Ciel.” Reiss led Ciel to the upper floors of the main building.

“She said Gina was up there, where is the top floor of the castle?” Charles asked.

“… Now that I think about it, there is only the earl’s bedroom.” Reese sighed.

“Are there very few guards in the castle? The castle has a long wall connecting the outer city wall. It should be quick to mobilize the soldiers.” Ciel guessed.

“This is the period of peace, and the lord of Linbianbao helps us defend against the Frost Falls. There has been no news of the Blue Island pirates in Sanwei Bay for more than ten years. Lord Rene has always liked to save money, so our defense strength is not very good. I don’t even know how to maintain my staff, and the budget is being cut every year.” Reese complained softly.

Ciel has figured out some things now. It is precisely because Rene adopts this defense strategy that he must frequently mobilize powerful vassals like Rocher, otherwise the problems in the territory cannot be solved, just like the Winged Demon incident.

And Rocher is also willing to help Rene to defend the Ash Tree Hall. She is a female lord and needs to find opportunities to increase prestige and honor.

It’s just that after Rocher solved the crisis, he obviously returned to Gloomy Castle, and the Ash Tree Hall was almost empty again, unable to deal with the threat from within.

As they approached the top floor, they heard a vague noise, not from above, but from the level.

“What’s going on there! Your lord!” The guard pointed to the end of the corridor.

“Hunting tool library.” Race glanced, “We have to go and see.”

The closer Ciel got there, the more intense screams and conflicts could be heard, accompanied by women screaming and dogs barking, they couldn’t help but quicken their pace, and saw a group of demonized canine beasts barking wildly around the broken wooden door, one of them. The only one that is particularly strong, clawed at the wooden door, has already scratched it, and kept scratching it inside, and there were bursts of uneasy shouts from people.

“Here we are!” Rhys yelled. “Hold on!”

“Come on! Come on!” a girl screamed sternly.

How to fight better and how to gain experience from fighting.

Ciel focused on cultivating his fighting skills, so he would not miss any chance to give it a shot. He rushed forward first, holding the gray knife in his hand, and the dogs noticed the footsteps and quickly entangled him.

The force of chopping and slashing should be controlled moderately, the range of the wrist swing should be paid attention to, and each attack should be shot just right, giving full play to the advantage of the weapon and giving yourself the upper hand in the battle.

Ciel keeps accumulating his combat experience.

“Ow—” Another ferocious monster was cut open under the Ciel knife.

The movements need to be coordinated, the body needs to be balanced, and Charles maintains a high level of focus to make progress.

The large beast that was biting at the door turned its head and jumped back into the corridor, roaring at Ciel.

“Ah, ah, ah!” A guard swung a spear and rushed towards it, and it slapped the spear shaft with a backhand. The sound was so alarming that the guard turned and ran away.

“Come here. Your opponent is me.” Ciel called softly.

The large beast roared in a low voice, scratching the ground with its claws. Due to the power of the sword in Ciel’s hand, it first swayed from side to side, bluffing, then kept a steady stance, and then quickly swung towards Ciel.

coming!

Ciel swung horizontally from right to left, but he slashed in the air, the blade slid through the air, and he did not have the feeling of cutting flesh and blood as he imagined.

The beast landed cunningly, only feinting, stopping just beyond the range of the Ciel’s blade, then took the opportunity to push forward and swung a claw.

laugh!

Ciel heard the wind behind his ears, and a harpoon flew out from his side, and the barbed spear pierced the beast’s shoulder. Wearing its head, the sharp blade was stained with blood, and at the same time, it was also stained with many inexplicable dark sediments.

“Nice alignment.” Charles looked back at Madden.

“I want to learn the Hunter’s Charm too!” Madden said excitedly.

“People like you will have a chance.” Ciel turned his head and moved forward quickly.

“Okay!” His enthusiasm satisfied Ciel.

The remaining vulnerable group of dogs whimpered a few times, as if they had become normal animals again, but their contaminated eyes were still glowing with evil light suddenly in the darkness.

Ciel waved his knife to disperse them, pushed open the damaged door, and went in. At a glance, he saw a large group of people shivering in the corner of the room. A few embarrassed castle guards were protecting them, but everyone was injured, apparently after a fierce battle.

“Are you all right?” Ciel looked nervous when he saw that most of them were castle maids, and the others included some handymen, cooks, grooms, craftsmen and others.

“We are saved! We are saved!”

“Isn’t that the demon hunter?”

“Thank God Edwar! Thank God!”

“Great! The king bless us!” People were excited.

“Long live! It’s a demon hunter!” A noble girl in a blue dress rushed over excitedly. Ciel had seen her. They used to point at demon corpses in the courtyard. They were noblewomen in the castle.

Before Ciel could react, she hugged him excitedly, and regardless of the dirt on his body, she kissed his neck forcefully, tears kept flowing, and she was very excited.

“Ah…” Ciel felt embarrassed and wanted to push her away again and again, “My armor will scratch you.”

“Am I too excited?” She put her hands around Ciel’s neck, her eyes flushed, “You don’t know how scared I am!”

“Jorosa, you are too excited.” Another young noblewoman came over, and Ciel remembered that she was also one of Gina’s female companions, and would cover her mouth with a fan when she spoke.

“Really.” Jorosa lifted her skirt and stepped back.

“Thank you very much, warrior.” The noblewoman put down her fan and kissed Ciel generously on the face.

“Miss Lucille, we also did our part!” Rhys shouted as he walked into the room.
