Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 52

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 52]

“Phantom power!” Ciel made a decisive decision and released the Hunter’s Charm. A huge airflow swept through the air, blowing the entire room upside down. The woman shouted, and her body was tilted by the wind, and she didn’t have time to cut it open immediately. Gina’s throat.

“You bastard—” The witch got up from the bed and stabbed Gina who was crying.

“Come here!” Ines stood outside the door and quickly threw out the magic rope in her hand. The rope caught Gina’s wrist and immediately pulled her out of the room. The woman’s blade only pierced the pillow.

Ciel slashed hard, severing the spine of a large dog, and guards poured in to help him deal with the rest.

Seeing other people entering, the witch’s first reaction was to cover her face. Why did she cover her own face?

She turned her back, not wanting to continue resisting, and jumped onto the window sill. She was extremely agile, far beyond Ciel’s imagination.

She jumped and jumped outside, is she courting death?

Charles hurriedly rushed over, leaning on the window frame with both hands and looking out.

The giant dog was meeting her under the house!

Eight eyes stared straight at Ciel.

The mental shock ravaged Ciel’s mind, biting – biting!

bark!

run wild!

hunt!

hunt things down!

Hunt, hunt the prey!

howl!

Galloping on all fours!

Delicious flesh—Charle was dizzy and quickly took a few steps back.

“Hu-hu–” Ciel’s eyes were bloodshot, and he clasped his hands on the windowsill.

After he calmed down, he looked out again. The giant dog carried the witch and quickly climbed to a high place, climbed to the guard tower in the castle, used it as a fulcrum, quickly jumped out, jumped out of the courtyard wall, and went to the house of every family. The roof of the house ran wildly, the sound of stepping on the roof tiles was incessant, leaving huge claw marks wherever it passed and disappeared without a trace.

It didn’t stay to fight, why?

If the giant dog breaks down in the castle…

Hu… Hu… Ciel couldn’t think of a reason, he was panting, exhausted, and sat on the ground.

It went away and left again, unable to catch up.

“Where’s Gina?” He looked aside.

“She’s frightened.” Ines held Gina in her arms, shook her like a baby, and patted her on the shoulder, “It’s alright.”

Gina’s eyes were terrified, and she no longer had the clarity and innocence that she once had, and Ciel looked at her heart like a knife.

He hid the weapon in his arms and went out to see Duwen surrounded by several guards.

“Hand over the tools!” Reese scolded sharply, “You thief!”

“Don’t do that.” Charles stopped them. “He helped us all.”

“He must be a habitual thief.” Rhys stared at Du Wen, who looked embarrassed and frustrated, “Do you want me to ignore the law and let him go?”

“Are you a thief?” Charles asked.

Du Wen was a little surprised and looked at Ciel with betrayed eyes.

“We all have a past,” Ciel explained patiently. “There are glorious ones and some hated ones, but we all inherit and go on, we shouldn’t run away from it.”

“I,” Duvin stammered, “I, I am…I…I stole things.”

“What did you steal? Where did you commit the crime?” Rhys was fierce, and the other guards stared at him in the way they were used to dealing with thieves, as if waiting to send Duvin to the pillory in the square.

“The bank of the Qinghe River, near Fort Arendil.” Duwen chose to confess under pressure.

“Your Excellency Ciel, we have to take him back to the Qinghe area and let the lord there judge him,” Reiss explained.

“He saved Gina, saved me, saved everyone. Isn’t that enough to give him a break?” Ciel insisted.

“This is not something we have to consider. The Qinghe Court will try him. You can go there and testify for this little thief, saying that he has done something good, and maybe the sentence can be reduced.” Reese’s attitude seemed to have no room for manoeuvre.

Du Wen stood there anxiously, and began to bite his nails, his eyes wandering everywhere.

Chapter 66 Aftermath

“Only selfishness can push you to evolve, look, this is the price of the flood of kindness! Saved everyone, and then was thrown into prison! Ciel! Learn from him! One day you will be like him, because of your inexplicable compassion And be crushed!” Gladiu sneered mercilessly.

“I can save him.” Charles retorted in his heart.

Race looked at Ciel.

“Lord Charles, you see, we are not unreasonable people, but the law, the law always has to be upheld, and we are the most loyal enforcers of the law. God is above, the respected “West Coast Code” ” has been implemented for centuries, King Godel I guides us how to protect justice, the purpose of the law is to maintain the safety of everyone, so that the perpetrators are punished. If such a thief leaves our eyes with impunity, we will later Conscience will never be settled.”

“I believe this,” Ciel had to admit, “but sir, we all know what the real threat is. Is it the friend who fought alongside us, or the witch who tried to frame everyone?”

Reese pondered.

“You see,” Charles continued, “we have always tried to unite our allies and resist our enemies. I don’t know much about the law, but I know that the perpetrators need to be punished, but isn’t the punishment enough? Is there only one form of incarceration? Criminals also have a chance to rehabilitate, in our Hunter’s Sanctuary, where he can redeem himself by becoming a demon hunter and fighting the evil with all his might.”

“Isn’t it like exile?” Rhys muttered, “Oh…”

Seeing that the other party was swayed, Ciel quickly added: “I am the leader of the Hunter’s Sanctuary. I vouch for his personality. At this critical moment, those who are willing to stand up will not steal in the future.”

Du Wen pursed his lips and looked nervous, as if he didn’t have much confidence in himself.

“I know.” Rhys pondered for a moment, “We have suffered too many losses recently. My men were killed, the castle was invaded, Lord Garnier was injured, and Miss Gina almost died… If Lord Rene, if Hearing the news, I guess I will be fired.”

“But you tried your best,” said Charles.

“As long as the witch is still alive,” Rhys sighed, “I can’t rest well. If I don’t kill her and kill the source of the monsters, Master Rene will definitely not feel at ease… In this case, we should really solve the main problem first. Disaster.”

“That’s it.” Charles breathed a sigh of relief.

“You know what?” Rhys’s eyes flashed with bleakness, “Similar things have happened. The residents reported to me about a demon hunter named Valen, who had bad behavior and was often reported, probably Related to several village murders and break-ins. I talked to Master Federick more than once, but he reassured me that Warren was absolutely innocent, so there was nothing I could do about it. I saw the spell you used , Warren seems to use that kind of thing to hurt people, you guys are so consistent… I try to trust you, but if I’m betrayed by you, I promise, I’ll be the first to destroy your sanctuary of.”

The captain’s words were true, and Ciel nodded.

“Both Frederick and Valen have to pay the price and sleep outside of this world.” In Gladiu’s belly, “I am different from them, and the new Hunter Sanctuary is also different from the past.” Charles guarantees.

“I hope so.” Reese nodded.

The castle was already filled with insane people and dead bodies, and the air was filled with a faint fishy smell, making people unable to restrain their breathing so as not to vomit.

The demon attacked the once peaceful aristocratic residence, killing many people and scaring many people crazy. In the end, the witch retreated completely, which made Ciel deeply regret.

I have to find a way. I have to collect information and find clues. Fighting demons is not just about using a knife. I have to find a way to unite all forces and use all the resources around me. Ciel pondered.

“Are you all right?” Ciel looked at Gina, who was leaning restlessly against the wall outside the room, her eyes downcast, melancholy and sad because of the blow.

“Don’t scare her.” Ines gently held the girl’s hand, “Don’t worry, the monster was chased away by us, you are safe.”

“What is that?” Gina’s voice trembled, “that is—what is that!” Her voice became louder and louder, and the guards who were still cleaning the scene cast their eyes here.

“I’m sorry.” Ciel regretted, “We didn’t get there as soon as possible. Those things are demons and their relatives.”

Gina seemed to think of some terrifying scene, her face was pale, she glanced at Charles and the others in panic, ran into the bedroom, climbed onto the bed, wrapped herself tightly with the quilt, buried her head in the pillow, and closed herself He was unwilling to listen or see, and his body was trembling.

“Are you comforting?” Ines asked Ciel in a low voice.

“I won’t. What should I do?”

“This kind of thing can’t be learned. Some people are born with the ability to feel other people’s hearts, so they can prescribe the right medicine and comfort their emotions. Some people are just dumb and don’t know if their words hurt others.”

“Looks like I’m dumb.”

“You’re not,” Ines shook her head. “You have great leadership and the power to reassure others. All you have to do is show it.”

“Really?” Ciel was a little surprised, “I don’t feel it, so should I go to her?”

“She needs time to relieve stress, so now is not the best time to comfort her.” Ines glanced inside the bedroom, “She doesn’t want outside attention right now, but after this short period of time has passed, she will urgently need it again. A person who can support her inner pain, we will help her when the time comes.”

“Why do you know so well? You seem to be very comforting.”

“Trust me,” Ines shook her head, “you wouldn’t want to learn this skill, it drains your own mind to heal another person.”

“But we have to.”

Gina’s life cannot be ruined by tonight’s harrowing memories.

Ciel went out, leaving Gina alone for a while.

He saw the guards tiptoe too, lest they make noises to startle her.

People were searching for corpses everywhere, cleaning up bloodstains, and in some places there were sounds of fighting and barking dogs. It should have been a fight with the remaining dogs. There were a large number of guards, and Charles was not worried that they would be unable to fight.

He saw Captain Rhys lingering in the corridor, slamming a window open for air.

“I don’t even know how to explain it to the public. People will panic to death.” The captain of the guard leaned against the window. He looked less dignified now, with a sad face, as if the serious enforcer didn’t exist a moment ago.

“It’s better to make everyone alert,” Ciel explained. “Who knows which house the devil will target next time.”

“Will it continue to attack?”

“Devils have an inexhaustible thirst for souls, and as long as they have the chance, they will not miss it.”

“Then how do we fight this kind of thing, it’s fucked up.” Reese spat.

“That’s why demon hunters need to exist. Our mission is to continue to fight them and destroy every demon who dares to enter the mortal world.”

“Do you have a clue? Where are we going to find the witch?”

Should I tell him about the temple?

The status of the temple is revered and dedicated to the gods of the Temple of Beauty. In Loman, the gods are the ancestors of the Loman people. They have made great enough achievements in their lifetimes, and they can be worshipped as gods after death.

The god Edvar, Lord of the Gods and the first ever king of Lorman, is worshipped for his achievements in establishing the West Coast.

After he became a god, he built a magnificent Meimen Temple in the clouds to entertain the gods later.

If it is said that the temples dedicated to the supreme gods are places where demons hide, who will believe it?

The gods are so stalwart, how can they hide monsters under their noses.

Everything seemed so bizarre, and Ciel decided to hide his guesses, at least to find enough strong evidence.

“I’m still trying to figure out how to investigate.”

“If you keep hiding information from us, it will be difficult for us to cooperate.” Reese sounded like a cliché.

“A lot of things…it’s so confusing, it’s easy to get misunderstood until the connection between them is figured out,” Ciel said, thinking.

“We all have the ability to tell right from wrong,” Rhys insisted. “Tell me everything you know.”

“I only know that the Hunter’s Sanctuary was looted, can the guards help us find the culprit?” Ciel decided to change the subject.

“It’s not difficult—it must have been the Thieves’ Guild,” said Race as if it were a matter of course. “That’s a tragedy.”

“Why didn’t the guards deal with the Thieves Guild? You know it exists.”

“It’s hard,” Reese made a helpless gesture, “there are many nobles who support these active thieves, they cover each other, and thieves gradually become the means used by nobles to fight dissidents. These people are very convenient to use, so they do not It’s a criminal again, and it becomes a rule, a tool, you understand. If the thieves’ union is not allowed to act, the nobles will send troops to fight, and the impact will be even greater. So nobles and thieves rely on each other, if we If you attack rashly, you will either leak the news or suffer heavy losses.”

“It was the thieves’ destruction of the sanctuary that caused the demons to escape. Everything would never have happened. Tonight’s disaster could be avoided. I want revenge, and I want them to pay the price.”

“…Well, Ciel, since you’re so persistent.” Race thought for a while, “I know a den where the Thieves Guild is active.”

“where?”

“A place called Three Feet Lane Tavern. They do some secret transactions in the basement of the tavern, some ulterior motives, and it is likely to be a den for hiding stolen goods. If you want to retrieve the things you lost in your church, You can go there and see.”

“You know so much, will you help?” Charles frowned.

“I’m not sure.” Reese shook his head. “Many people in our team have been corrupted. If we mobilize, they will definitely tip off the news and cause awareness.”

“so serious?”

“If they are all well-born, educated, loyal to their lords, and know the law… I have the confidence to eradicate all evil in this city, but unfortunately not, most people only want three meals a day, as long as they can get money. Live in peace and never think about anything else. Such a group of people will open up to criminals for some money, compromise with them, and join forces with them, and they will also take up arms to protect everyone on such a night, and even Wounded, even sacrificed, charging these maddening monsters…”

“I thought the guards should be as upright as you are.”

Reese was silent for a long time, looking at Ciel, the muscles on his face were twisted.

“A righteous person should be the last one to be a guard.” Rhys looked at Ciel sadly. “It is precisely because I am powerless against major evils that I am obsessed with correcting small evils to soothe my conscience.”
