Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 96

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 96]

The man he had seen was hanging on the rack, his hands and feet were chained, his body was covered with marks of whip marks and beatings, and his lips were cut through by the priests, so he could not say a word.

But his eyes were still very bright and clearly discernible in the dark.

Hearing footsteps approaching, he turned his head to see Ciel and the captured Luanna, and his expression changed suddenly.

“You’re free.” Xia Er cut off the shackles on the wizard’s hands and feet with a knife. He fell from the torture tool, stumbled to the ground, and then stood up desperately. I bowed deeply.

He couldn’t say a word, just silently picked up a knife from the counter next to him, pinned it to his rags, and looked at Luanna with hatred.

“I’m Ciel. I caught her and burned the temple. Go wherever you want now,” he whispered.

The scar on the wizard’s lips was terrifying, the skin was open and the flesh was ripped open. Even if he pursed his mouth, he could see his teeth. It looked very ugly, and there was a foul smell on his body.

He pointed to his heart and then to Ciel.

Is this an act of loyalty?

“You can’t speak. I’ll call you a dumb wizard for now. If you’d like to follow me, nod your head.”

The dumb wizard nodded vigorously.

“That’s good.” Ciel walked out, holding Luanna, she tried her best to keep her expression cold, but there was still anger in her eyes.

She was powerless to resist, and could only stumble and follow.

“What’s the use of wizards who can’t speak? They can’t use the shaman script, they’re a bunch of trash,” Luana whispered.

Ciel passed through the burned-out door, the main hall was roaring with flames, and the carpet was scorched in the fire. The priests were helpless and fled outside the door in a chaotic manner. Some were screaming and commanding, but they were obviously unable to take care of themselves in the chaos. big picture.

“Who are you!” A high-ranking priest couldn’t help scolding when he saw Ciel, “That’s our prisoner!” He pointed at the dumb wizard.

“Never again.” Ciel pointed the knife in his hand at the priest, “If you stop me, you will die.”

The priest stared at the sharp weapon in Ciel’s hand, swallowed, turned and fled.

Ciel walked out of the main entrance calmly, walked down the steps, and looked back at the entire temple. The flames were still burning, spreading, and thick smoke was billowing. The priests and apprentices all escaped and watched in panic on the street outside. As the temple burns in flames, the wailing and prayers do not stop.

The filth place is now crumbling in flames, a loss that can never be undone.

“God! God! Stop!”

“Don’t burn any more!”

Ciel looked in the direction of the sanctuary from afar. It must be struggling with the same fire, right?

When he cast his eyes, he found that the flames surrounding the sanctuary were gone.

Chapter 119 The Nature of God

Ciel’s heart was beating very fast, and she pulled Luanna to the direction of the sanctuary.

People around were already attracted by the movement of the church, and they came out one after another, pointing at the church.

When Ciel led Luana across the street, they couldn’t help but focus on the witch, whose shame was tormented.

Ciel didn’t have the heart to think about her, and just hurried back to the sanctuary.

He took out the beast elixir and held it in his hand. Once the situation changed, he would drink the elixir and throw himself into the next battle.

It was only after he approached the sanctuary that he saw a very strange scene, which made him feel that there was no need to drink the potion.

Those temple guards and priests all knelt on the steps in front of the sanctuary, bowing their heads and chanting scriptures silently, not daring to look up, while the knights from the west coast knelt down on one knee and prayed to the hunter’s sanctuary. A solemn and sacred atmosphere.

“What are you doing?” Luana screamed. “Where’s Aeos? Do you?”

People didn’t even look at her, they just prayed and prayed to the Hunter’s Chapel. Charles saw the main door of the hall open, Madden stuck his head out of the door, saw Charles, and waved to him excitedly. .

“Come in! Lord Shire!” He was delighted.

Charles felt dizzy, what happened?

He walked silently into the sanctuary and saw something more different.

I saw the hall was full of brilliance, and the statue of the God of Edwo exuded dazzling brilliance, and the purple light was translucent all over.

At the feet of the statue, there is a sharp sword, with the hilt resting on the statue’s knee.

This sword Shire cannot be more familiar, the statue originally did not have it, this is the weapon of Aeos.

And where is Aeos?

Ciel saw a gorgeous armor collapsed in the center of the carpet, and the contents inside had all turned into black ashes, scattered everywhere, completely resembling a human shape.

“Aios? Aios!” Luana couldn’t help shouting when she saw the empty armor, “Aios!” She turned her head and looked at Ciel in hatred, “You murderer! You killed His life!”

Ciel looked everywhere. People in the sanctuary appeared one after another, looking at Ciel and the witch captured behind him in surprise. The dumb wizard silently observed the surroundings.

“What happened?” he asked Ines.

“Great! Great!” Ines ran towards Ciel excitedly, hugging him hard, “Great!”

“Tell me now.” Charles was a little surprised.

“You don’t know-how terrifying just now!” Ines was very happy, “It’s God! It’s a miracle! These guys broke the side door with a black light, broke into the sanctuary, and drove straight in. Let’s fight and retreat! The guy was attacking and boasting of his swordsmanship and force. We were no match for him. I thought we were going to lose—but! The idol suddenly lit up! His weapon was suddenly taken away and flew to the ground. On top of the statue! Then a blazing fire reflected from the statue and burned him alive!”

“You’ve never heard that scream! Your lord! It’s so miserable!” Madden almost jumped up.

Hugo gasped, his sword was broken, and there were marks of slashes on his body, but not serious.

“I have gone through seventeen strokes with him, let’s hold out until the gods bless us.” Hugo gave Ciel a reluctant smile.

“But Aeos… what about the others that Aeos brought?” Ciel was surprised.

“They don’t dare to step in.” Delich held her wand and looked proud, “I’m here.”

“Then, I think I want everyone to see this scene.” Ines pointed to the luminous statue, “I simply opened the door, and those priests and their subordinates saw this scene – you missed their expressions, they Suddenly, I didn’t dare to act rashly, and they all knelt outside in a row!”

Ciel looked at the others, Duvin leaning against the post in relief, pressing his forehead; Kryushi just kept laughing, Dailan’s attention on the new mute wizard; Sarah crying, seeing After Ciel’s gaze, he shyly hid again.

Oakley pressed his forehead across the corridor and into the hall: “Fuck, what happened?”

“You can continue resting, Oakley,” Charles said. “We won.”

“—it shouldn’t be like this—” said Gladiu irritably, “—what are you doing! Ciel! What are you doing? We didn’t say it, it’s just you and me, we’re going to get out of here and go Doing something bigger? You’re coming back here again? You’re going to hang around with these people and you’re going to be depraved? You clearly have something more worthy of pursuit! You bastard—you bastard—!”

Ciel looked at the glowing idol in the middle.

“God Edvor, are you protecting us?” He walked towards the statue and had an idea to make him kneel down, but Ciel didn’t have the habit of doing it. He just looked at the statue, hoping to see some signs.

The Divine Sword rose out of thin air from the feet of the statue, and the dark power on it was gone, and the original golden and white color appeared.

This sword should be yours, god.

Charles thought.

But the evil believers stole it and corrupted it with demonic power, so you were angry, you destroyed Aeos who had insulted you, and burned him to ashes.

what about now?

Do you want to give me your weapon?

Ciel looked at the statue, and the surrounding light was still shining constantly, as if it was formed out of thin air.

Ciel held the sword in his hand, and a force poured out from the sword and penetrated into Ciel’s body. An unprecedented divine energy lingered on Ciel’s soul, and he felt that a path was left in his soul forever. Deep trace, this trace emits a deep purple light, but it is quickly wrapped by Gladiu, like a shadow.

“What is this?” Charles was confused.

“Divinity, divinity,” Gladius said greedily, “isn’t this divinity?”

As the so-called divinity flowed into Ciel’s body, the overflowing light on the sword also dazzled, and the colorful rays of light surrounding the statue also dissipated, and the statue became an ordinary statue without any special features.

“What exactly is divinity?” Ciel held the sword and stroked its texture. It was a very delicate and high-quality weapon, but after losing its divinity, it could only be regarded as a masterpiece among ordinary weapons, and could no longer compete with the gray sword. .

“Divinity is an immortal, otherworldly quality,” Gladius said strangely. “Simply put, it makes you gradually become a god.”

“Becoming a god?” Charles was confused.

“Every world is different, let me digest this divinity first. This is the first way to open up a new field, which is very good.” Gladiu was satisfied, not as irritable as before.

“Are you using it?”

“It’s hard to use it, I just see if I can crack it and uncover some of the secrets of this world. As I said before, every world is a little different, and I have to figure out the divine makeup of this world.” Grady Wu hid in the depths of Ciel’s soul and did not speak again.

Divinity…I have Divinity?

Charles looked at his hands, and they didn’t seem to be different.

What is God?

Do you want me to do your will?

you picked me?

He looked at the statue, but Edvar was silent, stiff as a dead thing.

I don’t like being controlled, so I can’t promise to reward you in the future.

He gave the sword to Hugo.

“You have fought against Aeos, you should take this sword,” said Ciel.

“I can only use ordinary weapons.” Hugo shook his head.

“You should believe in yourself, don’t wait until you have mastered your swordsmanship before regaining your confidence.”

“It’s not like that, my lord. I want to use ordinary weapons to hone my skills. I don’t want to abuse powerful weapons, so I neglect the tempering of swordsmanship. Those who rely on magic weapons are only opportunistic swordsmen.” Hugo is firm. say.

“He’s scolding you.” Gladiu spoke out.

Ciel put the dull divine sword back at the statue’s feet, and it seemed to fit just like that, so let’s use it as a decoration.

He can only experience confusion and helplessness when he is alone. Once he appears in front of everyone, he has to show absolute firmness, and he can only show this attitude, and can no longer hesitate and be weak, so Ciel escorted Luanna outside. , the priest and hundreds of temple guards raised their heads and saw Luanna, their expressions changed greatly. The knights also noticed Luanna’s situation and couldn’t help frowning.

“Let go of her!” Priest Shawar sternly accused, “Let go of the King’s envoy!”

“Let go of Miss Luanna!”

“You rascal!”

“How is Aeos?”

“The king will not forgive you!” The knights who came with Aeos roared.

Ciel’s eyes swept across their faces indifferently.

“Go and inform Rocher and Garnier.” He instructed, and the knights below exchanged glances, and quickly ordered their shou to go to work.

Soon, the sound of hoofs sounded, and Rocher arrived at the entrance of the church with a group of light cavalry. She hurriedly dismounted from her horse and looked at the high Charles from the bottom of the steps.

Garnier also brought the Alberta family’s troops to the sanctuary, looking at the strange sight in bewilderment.

“What do you want to do?” Luana was angry. “Let everyone see me as a fool? You vicious guy…”

“I want you to tell the truth yourself.” Ciel squeezed her shoulders. “Tell them all, tell them that the king has turned away from the gods, tell them that the king has surrendered to the schemes of the devil, and tell them the real plans of you guys.”

“Me?—I can’t!” Luana lowered her voice. “They’ll kill me…”

“The church will protect you, and I will protect your life, but if you don’t say it, you will be buried with Aeos.” Ciel expressed his attitude.

The knights, priests, guards, and many local nobles and commoners all gathered, blocking the street and looking curiously at Luanna who was detained by Ciel.

“So many people…” She couldn’t help begging, “Don’t be like this…”

“Tell me, you’ve done a lot of evil, it’s time for atonement. When you finish speaking, I’ll have someone write down the entire record and copy it to Luoman.”

“You can’t…you can’t do that…”

“I’ll do it for you.” Ciel threatened with death.

“No – I said!” Luana’s will was broken, is this the kind of feeling that fascinates Gladio?

Apply force until the other side collapses.

She looked at the crowd in front of her.

“—It’s all lies!” she shouted, “King Frederick II… He has long been corrupted by the dark demons, so he will choose Eduardo Soffertel to succeed… This is a conspiracy… Eduardo One-handed creation of a corrupt organization that worships demons, all the special envoys of the king…” She took a deep breath, “…all are…the servants of demons…we try to control everything…”

“Wrong, this is not the truth!” Shawar stood up from the steps and shouted to the people around him, “The envoy was captured by this villain, she was forced to say these words! Don’t believe her!”

Ciel stares at Chavar, who I’ll kill next.

The temple guards looked solemn.

“The demonic beasts have been destroyed by me.” Ciel announced to them calmly, “there is not a single demon in this city, and nothing can threaten you. If you really worship the gods, go back and give Put out the fire in your temple.”

No matter how Shavar shouted, his soldiers got up one by one and left, hurried back down the street and returned to the temple to put out the fire.

“…” Shaval took a deep breath and left.

“Your Majesty is a demon worshiper?” A knight was surprised, “What’s going on?”
