Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 70

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 70]

About to die, the deadly suffocation made him extremely anxious, Ciel opened his eyes, the water was moistening his eyes, and the vision was endless darkness.

The torrent was surging, and the body was pushed around, what should I do… what should I do?

…

Suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed Ciel and pulled Ciel’s body onto his shoulders. In a drowsy state, Ciel could only try his best to grasp the only hope of saving his life, and was led to the depths of the cave.

Hold your breath, hold your breath!

Ciel closed his mouth and nose to avoid the backflow of water, every inch of his body longed for air, but the cold running water enveloped him from all sides.

The grotto is shaking, and the water is fluctuating violently. What is it?

What is alarming?

– He has no time to think.

Air, air… whatever, let me breathe!

When did air become so precious?

When did I start drowning?

Who am I… Consciousness turned into hazy fragments.

In an instant, he felt that his head and face had crossed the surface of the water again, and returned to the full air, with wet hair on his head and face. The fresh air made him feel nostalgic, and instinct replaced thinking. hapiness.

Hu-hu-Charle panted, turned to see Madden beside him, he was floating on the water with his arms on his shoulders, and his legs kept treading on the water.

“We survived!” Madden yelled.

“Survived.” Sarah swam towards the shore, there was light outside, are they going to the exit?

Charles is a little weird.

“Stay alive…” Charles wiped the wet water from his face.

“We can’t die here.” Madden helped Charles up the dry bank next to him and sat down.

My belongings, Charles fumbled around in the backpack, were soaked through, soaked with water from head to toe, sticky and uncomfortable, as if all limbs were tied with iron blocks, and it was extremely difficult to lift them.

He looked at the direction from which he came, the cave was deep and the water was fast, and they seemed to pass through an underwater cave just now.

“Gah! Gah! Gah!” A dark shadow under the water quickly approached, and Xia Er groped for the gray knife in his arms, knife, knife!

Fortunately, he was still there, and he was not lost in the chaos. He held the knife in his hand and faced the shadow in the water.

The water splashed, Sarah let out a scream, and a slender scaled dragon burst out of the water.

The monster headed straight for Sarah, and with his heavy, soaked body, Ciel charged quickly with a knife and stabbed hard.

Its body slammed into Ciel’s blade, and Ciel felt that his knife had cut through something tough and strong, slicing into the endless stickiness.

In an instant, the stench of blood splattered, splashing all over Ciel’s face. His vision was covered by the blood of the scale dragon.

He pulled out the knife with all his strength, kept wiping his eyes, and wiped off the dirt that entered his eyes, only to hear the scale dragon rolling and screaming on the ground, his body twisting, and constantly slapping the ground.

Is this thing alive or dead?

The scale dragon’s cry rose higher and then turned into a long and soft noise, and then into a broken whine. Charles was relieved. He groped to the water’s edge, knelt down halfway, leaned over and wiped his face with water. Stained blood and spit out the dirt that had strayed into his mouth, but there was still a stench in his mouth that lingered for a long time.

Ciel turned his head, and Sarah stood in the distance with her sleeves up, looking in horror at the dying body of the scale dragon. It was cut open by Ciel with a gray knife from the right shoulder to the tail, and the liver, gallbladder and spleen fell out. With the blood flowing out, it was scattered on the ground, and the thick bloody smell permeated in all directions, causing people to frown when they smelled it.

“Who the hell are you?” Sarah looked at Ciel uneasily.

“Passenger.” Ciel slid the knife into the water and wiped away the blood with his hands.

“How can ‘Passenger’ have such good skills and not change his color under such circumstances?” Sarah asked repeatedly, turning to look at Madden, “Tell me, who is he?”

“He’s Ciel.” Madden shrugged. “Ciel somewhere, he’s here to help you.”

“Help us, why?” Sarah was still puzzled.

“I received a letter.” Ciel took the letter out of his wet backpack, “I’m soaking wet, sorry.”

Sarah didn’t take the letter and recognized it from a distance.

“That’s from grandma – where’s Master Federic going? You’re a demon hunter! You should have come earlier! Otherwise we wouldn’t have…”

“Master Frederick died in battle. Fortunately, he has me in his successor.” Ciel looked at the light at the exit of the cave, “We still have a chance to save everything.”

There was a thunderous explosion from somewhere overhead, with a loud rumbling, far beyond the small electric ball that Sarah summoned.

“What is that? It’s going to rain?” Madden looked out at the sky.

“It’s too late… everything we do is useless…” Was it tears, or was the sea water wet on her face?

Chapter 88 The Army of the Gods

After coming out of the beach cave, Sarah pointed them to a long vine ladder next to it, which hung down from the cliff, weaved with tough and thick native vines, and led to the end of the cliff above.

“This is our back road, there is a boat… woo…” Sarah pointed with a finger, her voice was still crying, and Charles saw a small boat on the beach that was upside down on the shore, with oars and oars. Fishnet, “When we see the fishing season, my grandma and I will row out to sea.”

How did the witch observe the movement of the sea?

Ciel was curious, but now was not the time to ask.

“Climb up, hurry up,” Sarah urged, stepping aside to rub her eyes.

Ciel grabbed the vine, making sure it wouldn’t break midway, and then slowly climbed up, stepping on each level of the vine, climbing higher and higher.

The sky was overcast, but the light was fine. The sun shone on him, slowly steaming away the water vapor, leaving dry stains.

Madden followed closely, his body was very heavy, and as soon as he joined the climb, the whole vine ladder shook violently with his movements.

Ciel climbed to the top, climbed into a clump of weeds on the cliff, and saw a thatched hut delicately standing on the top of the cliff. Isolated room.

He heard a noise from the front, and he crept closer.

“Let it go! You pigs!” The voice was hoarse and sharp, like an old lady, and Ciel saw a woman in a brown cloak, with her hair pulled high, holding a heavy stick-shaped wand, and rushed towards him. Yelling on the trail.

She noticed as soon as Ciel came around from behind the hut.

“Whoa!” Her face was wrinkled, her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of white light, especially scary, her lips were pale, and her appearance was old and stern, and she waved her wand at Charles, “Who are you!”

“Allies.” Ciel raised his hands in a gesture of harmlessness, “I am Ciel, the successor of Master Frederick. You are Your Honorable Delicious? It’s good that you are alive!”

“Or I’m going to die? Move your ass over and charge them!” Delich pointed angrily at the foot of the mountain, and the arc of the stick-shaped wand wrapped around it.

Ciel tried to appear peaceful and harmless as he slowly leaned to the edge of the steep road.

He now knew what Madden said about the feeling. It was uncomfortable to think about every word and deed in the face of someone who could take your life at any time.

In front of them is the road leading into the witch’s hut from the front, with twists and turns. If the temple troops want to come up, they have to go around at least five or six winding paths. The roads are bare, either stones or dry grass, and there is no cover at all.

There were at least a hundred of them, gathered in front of them, densely packed and crowded, but they were unable to enter the witch’s hut from this hillside. The location she chose was really easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Compared with these elite soldiers, those who besieged Sanwei Bay are simply not worth mentioning.

In order to solve the witch, do you have to dispatch so many people?

Ciel thought, and couldn’t help but marvel at the witch’s power.

The temple troops are neatly arranged, and the founding monarch of the Loman Kingdom, Godel “The Great Man”, made an oath to allow the temple to retain its own military force for the dispatch of priests. For more than 400 years, this tradition has provided the temple with a considerable force. military force.

At the front are the guards dedicated to guarding the temple, half of them holding long swords, hatchets and oval shields painted with the mighty image of the warrior god Sodado, indicating the blessing of the gods, and the other half holding long poles. Leaf-shaped spears, with a stern expression, most of them wore chain mail and purple cloaks of the standard style. There were also many people who only joined the battle wearing linen coats and long-sleeved cloaks, and none of them wore helmets.

In the middle of the army are specialized clerics. Those with low status wear simple clothes, while those with high status wear purple robes with special fur shawls, magic hats or simple crowns. Some clerics hold scriptures. “The Temple of Beauty”, a Lohman classic that records the deeds of the gods.

The most revered temple personnel stood last, followed by their elite guards, holding heavy weapons, such as double-faced axes and giant spears, wearing full-body iron armor and veiled helmets, their faces could not be seen clearly, and their posture was meticulous. , the armor is painted with the supreme picture of the god Edwo, and the power is suddenly born.

The guards were mainly defending two leaders. One of them, Shire, was recognized, with a bald head and mean and fierce eyes, which made people feel unhappy when they saw it. The bald priest who grabbed Shire’s arm at the entrance of the temple was not dressed as plainly as he was then, but a gorgeous purple robe full of hand-embroidered embroidery and a towering crown on his bald head. Shire suspected this. It is the Huading dedicated to the Great Priest.

The other person, Ciel, was very unfamiliar. The other person looked like a high-ranking knight, wearing a diamond-top helmet and a movable visor. At this time, the visor was lowered and his face could not be seen clearly.

This man is fully armed and wears scaled armor, which is formed from interconnected pieces of armor, shaped like dragon scales, and is quite sturdy.

How could there be such a well-equipped knight in a small place like Ash Tree Hall?

It must be more expensive than Rocher’s iron armor, and there are many gold-plated medals hanging on it, which should be awarded by some great nobles.

Such a team blatantly threatened, obviously with the determination to completely defeat the witch.

“Why don’t you run from the vine ladder at the back?” Charlton thought about this question.

“You fool!” Delich whispered while staring at the team at the foot of the mountain with a staff in hand, “The vine ladder is so high that you can climb, what should I do?”

“Grandma!” Sarah hurried.

“Hey!” Delicious didn’t turn her head, still guarding them, “Why…why don’t you run? I can handle this kind of people!”

“Grandma, you are too old to deal with so many people.” Sarah wiped away her tears, pretended to be strong, and looked nervously at the army down the mountain.

“They haven’t attacked and are afraid of your mana?” Ciel asked.

“Of course, who do you think I am?” Delicious said disdainfully.

“But they didn’t retreat, which means they are waiting for an opportunity. From this point of view, it’s time for you to retreat, please go quickly.” Ciel analyzed.

“Withdraw? As soon as I disappear, they’ll rush up the mountain!” Delicious yelled, “We’ll be finished by then!”

“There’s no time to waste, Your Excellency Delich, I suspect that the people in the temple have an affair with demons. You have to go quickly, I’m afraid they will attract more evil forces to help.” Ciel guessed.

Delicious was furious and glared at the people at the foot of the mountain.

“What about you? You help me withstand this place? Just one person and one knife?”

“One man and one knife won’t last long,” said Ciel, “but I will try my best.”

“That’s good.” Delich took out a bottle of potion from her bosom, “Drink it all down, this is a beast elixir, a fool can use it to defeat a hundred, you better give it to me. Use a little.”

Ciel opened the red-colored potion and twisted the stopper, revealing the smell of honeysuckle, absinthe, and dead mice. The power of Wan ran in his body, and the fighting spirit was high.

This reminded him of being a little devil in hell before. Just like now, his physique has been specialized so that his energy is inexhaustible and inexhaustible.

“Take it, if you lose it, I’ll turn you into a pig.” Delich threw the staff to Madden, then dragged Sarah to the back of the hut in a hurry.

“Don’t, don’t scare me!” Madden shivered and quickly hugged the staff.

“Grandma, where’s our stuff?” Sarah yelled.

“It’s packed and put on the back of the big guy, so he’s suitable for this.”

“Lord Shire, be careful.” Madden instructed.

The witches handed him an oversized package, which he picked up in frustration, then retreated with it.

Sure enough, as soon as the witch figure disappeared, the priests sent out bursts of cries, and the temple guards quickly charged up the mountain.

One knife at a time.

“I like you to kill mortals, and kill all those who come up!” Gladiu was excited.

“I can’t last long.” Ciel looked back at the back of the hut. The witches and Madden had disappeared, and they were quickly retreating from the cliff. In fact, Ciel didn’t need to delay here for too long.

“Don’t be disheartened, just stand here and kill a few more mortals! It’s legal to kill people, you won’t have a chance after this trip.” Gladiu urged.

“Wait and see.” The power of the medicine surged in his body. The power of witches is indeed magical. If every hunter had the opportunity to drink the potion and fight with a boost, how strong would it be?

Suddenly the mountain shook, and he heard a long roar.

This voice is all too familiar, it is the Queen of the Scaled Dragon!

There were bursts of noises from the throat of the huge monster, and the ground in the distance cracked abruptly. The unprecedentedly terrifying giant beast broke through the rock, pushed through the soil layer, and crawled out fiercely from it. This scene was as terrifying as the end of the day.

Ciel tried his best to stand firm to avoid falling, and the guards charging up the mountain were also unsteady, desperately grabbing the protruding rock beside him to avoid being knocked over by the earthquake. Once he fell from this steep road, he would be killed in an instant.

The priests turned back to see the horrific form of the wet mother breaking out of the rock, and cried out in panic.

It stretched out its claws at the charr at the top of the hill, roaring incessantly.

Under the command of the wet mother, smaller scale dragons kept crawling out of the crevices beside the rock, and the target went straight to the Shire, but with the priest’s troops between them, the elite guards quickly waved their weapons, and These monsters fight.

The big scale dragon came to kill us, but bought me time!

Ciel realized that this was an opportunity to leave, and those soldiers had to stop temporarily and turn around to protect the high-ranking priest.

Ciel heard a collision of gold and iron, the sound was crisp, and he was still approaching here.

Among the guards who descended the mountain one after another, a figure bucked the tide, with a brave posture, the mysterious knight who followed the bald priest.

No matter how the ground swayed, the knight’s footsteps did not waver at all, his purpose was clear, and he came straight to Ciel.

Do you want to have a good fight with me?

Yep.

Ciel turned the gray knife in his hand.

The mysterious knight rushed in front of Ciel, and suddenly and sharply stabbed at Ciel. Ciel couldn’t dodge, so he could only retreat quickly, and slashed the knife with his backhand.

The gray knife and the sword collided in the air, and the sound exploded.

The knight held his sword tightly, and the swords pressed against each other in the air, but they did not break.

“The weapons you forged are not invincible.” After drinking the potion, Ciel’s strength doubled, and the sword was stalemate.

“Bullshit,” Gladiu whispered, “His weapon is forged by your gods, with a divine nature, and if you don’t possess your own divine nature, you can’t cut it off—what’s my business?”
