Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf.

Chapter 186: The Confluence of Celestial Spheres—Earth?
[Monster Group "Human" LV16 Subjugation! ]

[Rewards: Defeat the enemy, basic rating D, defeating the majority with the minority +3-C, bullying the weak with the strong -9-F]

【Final rating: F】

[Obtained loot: None]

"So humans are considered monsters too?"

After walking out of the ravine checkpoint where the abandoned mine was located in stealth, Ailin could no longer see the guards of the checkpoint.

A familiar system prompt suddenly sounded in his mind.

at this time.

At least three hours had passed since Arryn used the ice spear spell to assassinate the Kaedwen soldier who used the indestructible shield.

He grew so old that he thought humans were not within the hunting range of the Demon Hunting Notes.

did not expect.

Demon Hunter Notes did not have a response, simply because its out-of-combat judgment for human enemies is a bit unique.

After sighing in his heart, Ailin's attention was not on those extremely poor reward evaluations.

But a new task appeared afterwards.

[Ding! Hunting mission: Human I (kill humans 0/1000) has been activated, do you accept? ]

[Mission Reward: Intersection of Celestial Spheres - Humanity]

Looking at this new task, Ailin had mixed feelings.

The humans in the Demon Hunter world all came to this world through the intersection of the celestial spheres.

In the original work,

There are many plot hints.

These humans came from the same world as Alin, or at least a very similar parallel world, if the concept of parallel world existed here.

and so……

"Do I have a chance to go home?"

Ailin thought.

But after this thought flashed through his mind, he suddenly found that he didn't seem to want to go back that much.

No father, no mother, no wife, no children.

Born as an orphan, he had no ties to that world.

Even friends are just casual acquaintances, drinking buddies.

The only thing I care about.

That is the mascot that gave him a cup of milk tea and allowed him to travel through time.

Instead, here.

Vera, Vesemir, Mary, Hughes, Bonte, Fred...

He had companions and mentors with whom he could trust his life.

There are people who care about him, and there are people he cares about.

Even though the witcher's world is not as safe as his original world, the Wolf School is being targeted by the king and wizards and is in danger.

He had no intention of escaping from this world.

Kaer Morhen was already his home.

I stared blankly for a long time under the quiet moonlight.

Ailin suddenly put away the Demon Hunting Notes.

"forget about it!"

Going home is still a long way off for him, and even gathering these 1000 people is not easy.

after all.

He has his own principles and would not kill innocent people just for the sake of this celestial intersection.

"Let's take one step at a time."

Aelin sighed.

then……

move on.

……

After leaving the abandoned mine, Ailin ran all the way back to the Orchard.

After reporting safety to Vesemir, Zeus and others.

He rode "Carrot" again, starting from the abandoned castle, following the black element points from the wolf emblem's perspective, and rode towards the place where the two elves were hiding.

Francesca is still young after all.

Although she has excellent magical talent, the effective distance of the portal is definitely not as good as that of a senior sorceress.

So very quickly.

Ailin came to an abandoned cabin in the woods.

This hut should have been temporarily built by a hunter from a nearby village in the past.

It is backed by a small lake, and a hundred meters away from the door are the forest paths trampled by footprints and horses of the merchants coming and going.

Such popular places are safe.

Water ghosts, ghouls and evil ghosts do not appear very often.

And because of the low terrain, there are trees and shrubs to shade it.

If you don't know about this place, it will be difficult to find it.

"Francesca found a good place."

Ailin thought.

The clattering sound of horse hooves seemed to startle the people in the house.

The firelight from the window flickered for a while, and then a little head popped out from the window.

"He carries two long swords on his back. He is the demon hunter that Aunt Asha mentioned."

"Go and call Sister Lisa..."

A tender and green child's voice came from the wooden house.

Ok?
Francesca and Shadia are not here?
Aelin was confused.

From the perspective of the wolf emblem, the end point of the black element is in this cabin.

"Yes!"

Ailin suddenly remembered that the final destination of these black elements was the chest of the man named Hod, not Shadia.

"Francesca guessed my hint?"

"Is she now in some remote corner, confronting her mother Shadia?"

Thinking this in his mind, the witcher stepped off his horse in the stirrups.

To avoid being misunderstood, he did not move any closer to the cabin.

Instead, he stood outside the fence about ten meters away from the cabin.

Soon.

"Squeak~"

The abandoned wooden door opened.

Viscount Hudson's daughter, Lysa, walked out of the cabin holding a torch.

"Come with me, witcher."

Lysa had no expression on her face.

Then, without waiting for Ailin's response, he turned and walked towards the lake.

The witcher, who knew Lisa's background, didn't care about her indifferent attitude. He tied the carrot to a nearby tree and followed her.

"where are we going?"

"Go find Shadia."

"Is it okay to leave Hod and the kids here?" Ailin tilted his head to look at the cabin.

The few little heads at the cabin window felt Ailin's gaze and shrank back in unison.

After a while, rows of sparkling little eyes appeared again.

Upon hearing this, Lysa turned her head and looked at Aelin with a complicated expression:
"It's okay, I'll be back soon. As for Uncle Hode..."

She paused, a sad look on her face:
"He...he has left us?"

Ok?
Aylin was stunned for a moment.

Leaving is...

died?

Looking at the expression on the girl's face, Ailin's heart sank slightly.

Judging from Hood's appearance in the illusion, he indeed looked terminally ill.

only……

"How come it's so fast?"

"Hasn't he already taken the Verdant Sigh?"

He had a good impression of Hood, but not to the point of feeling sad for him.

He was just worried.

The red-haired elf Ada Emin's commission was to take a human couple away from Kaedwen.

Now that Hod is dead, only Shadia is left.

Can he still get his pay?
Thinking of this, Ailin sighed in his heart.

Birth, old age, sickness and death are difficult to predict, we can only take it one step at a time.

I hope the elves can be more kind.

"Feel sorry!"

Ailin said softly.

Lisa shook her head, turned around and continued to lead the way:

"This is not your problem. We all know that the culprit is Hackso."

"Even if you don't come, Uncle Hod doesn't have much time left!"

Ailin was silent.

After all, they are all strangers.

He didn't know what to say at this time, so he could only follow Lisa's steps.

but……

If Hood died, why did the black element end up in that little house?
Ailin was lost in thought.

He felt like he seemed to have missed some information, but he couldn't figure out what it was for a moment.

until……

"what!"

A scream came from the depths of the woods not far away. "It's Shadia's voice!"

Lisa screamed and tried to run over, but someone grabbed her arm.

"You go back and take care of those children. I will take care of Shadia."

"But……"

Arryn shook his head solemnly, interrupting Lysa.

Followed by.

"Qiang!"

The silver sword is unsheathed.

Being interrupted, Lisa was stunned for a moment and glanced at the silver sword shining coldly in the moonlight.

She bit her lip as if somewhat unwillingly, and then ran towards the wooden house.

When Arlin saw Lysa leave obediently, he immediately ran in the direction where the scream came from.

"Huh~"

The night wind blew past my ears.

Ailin quickly took out the last bottle of cat's eye potion from the reagent bag.

The moon is bright tonight.

Even without fire to illuminate the way ahead, with the witcher's ability, he can still continue on his journey as usual.

But if it comes to fighting, that’s another matter.

If you are not careful, you may lose your life.

"Luckily, Francesca lent me 'Night Color', otherwise I wouldn't even have this bottle of Cat's Eye left."

In order to prevent any accidents, Ailin thought about it and took out the Night Sword and equipped it.

This set of magic items, or "nights", also provides some night vision capabilities.

Just not as prominent as the Cat's Eye Potion.

If you compare them.

When using the Cat's Eye Potion, the clarity of vision is at least three times that of "night".

After changing his equipment and drinking the potion, Ailin sped up sharply.

He walked across the grass by the lake and around some dense willow trees.

Francesca and Shadia suddenly appeared in the overgrown weeds.

Looking at the huge shadow beside the two of them, Ailin finally remembered what he had forgotten.

In Viscount Hudson's abandoned castle, the demon spirits were able to transform in broad daylight, all because of the unknown black element.

just now.

Although we still don’t know what the source of that position element is.

But I have been with this element for so many years.

How is it possible that nothing has changed since Hood's death!

"...Lord Hudson...Lord Hudson..."

"...Haxel...tyrant...incompetent..."

A roar like a tsunami whizzed out from the dark shadow in front of Shadia.

The strong resentment and anger caused a huge wave, causing the surrounding trees to shake violently.

At the feet of the black shadow was a newly built grave.

Perhaps Ailin arrived just in time.

The monster whose face could not be seen seemed to have just appeared and had not yet started to attack Francesca and Shadia beside it.

Sadiya still looks like an old lady.

She seemed to be possessed, shouting "Hoder" and desperately moving towards the terrifying black shadow.

fortunately.

Francesca grabbed her.

"Edney, knock Aunt Asha out and take her away!"

As soon as Aelin saw the scene clearly, he immediately shouted to Francesca.

"Aylin!"

Noticing the appearance of the demon hunter, Francesca's eyes suddenly lit up.

After hearing Aelin's instructions, she hit the side of Shadia's neck with her right hand without hesitation.

Sadiya's body collapsed almost instantly and was dragged by Francesca to a place far away from the monster.

"Alin, we just buried the dead human when this monster suddenly appeared..."

Francesca dragged Shadia and told him the whole story.

Aelin nodded.

Immediately identify the strange shadow that is still roaring madly.

[Name: Great Demon Spirit (Hod)]

【Level: 56】

[Attributes: Strength 29, Agility 29, Constitution?, Perception 29, Mystery?]

"Yes, it is the demon spirit that was formed after Hord's death."

Higher level than him.

But the several attributes revealed were obviously inferior to Ailin's.

As for physique and mystery...

Ailin had an idea.

He immediately took out the ghost oil from the reagent bag and applied a layer of light blue light on the silver sword.

No matter what the difference is between a great demon spirit and an ordinary demon spirit.

As long as it is a demon spirit, there is definitely nothing wrong in applying ghost oil to Elsa.

and.

Since there is only one monster...

"Take good care of Aunt Asha!"

After leaving a word of advice, Ailin took advantage of the big demon spirit's unpreparedness and stomped on the ground to rush towards the big demon spirit who was still angry about the pain he suffered in his lifetime.

【Demon Hunt】

"laugh!"

The silver sword slashed into the black spirit like a red-hot iron piercing into icy water.

The junction suddenly boiled and a large number of bubbles came out.

[Demon Hunting] Progress 6%
"Roar!"

The great demon spirit roared in pain, and its body twisted as a result.

The demon hunter took a step back, avoiding the monster's arms that were flailing around instinctively in pain.

It’s worthy of being called a great demon spirit!

Ailin thought.

In the demon hunting state, if an ordinary spirit is hit once, the demon hunting progress bar can be filled up directly.

Here with the great demon spirit, one sword can only collect 6%.

It seems that the plan to quickly kill the monster is not feasible.

Ailin's eyes turned, and he quickly changed the plan to deal with the demon spirit.

Then squat down.

Press your right palm on the ground beneath the big demon spirit.

Suddenly.

The magic power flowed through the mutated organ next to the heart, through the right arm, and from the magic veins of the five fingers, it flowed regularly onto the ground.

In the blink of an eye.

A magic circle emitting a faint mysterious purple light emerged from the ground.

There are hourglass-shaped runes flashing around the magic circle.

Seal of Arden!

"Alin, be careful!"

As soon as the magic trap was used, Francesca's terrified scream was heard from behind.

at the same time.

Ailin also suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing on his head.

Roll to dodge the attack.

"Ok?"

After rolling over, Ailin was surprised to find out.

The big demon spirit, who had empty hands a few seconds ago, now held a shining sword in his somewhat illusory hands.

This sword is at least twice as long as Elsa's.

Where did the sword come from?
The witcher was confused.

Also.

The huge demon spirit, which was originally just a long strip of thick black fog, now condensed and became much clearer.

It is different from ordinary ghosts in that it floats with a lantern in one hand and a weapon in the other.

The giant demon, about three meters tall, looks like a normal human being.

Both hands tightly grasped the absurdly long sword.

Thick black smoke came out of his feet, and he stepped on the ground like a physical entity.

Like a warrior charging on the battlefield, he rushed towards Ailin.

"Roar!"

"Kill Hackso!"

"Kill the tyrant!"

"Kill the tyrant!"

With the slowing effect caused by the Aden Seal, and the fact that the great demon's strength and agility were inferior to Ailin's,

Therefore, the demon hunter can still deal with the attacks of big demons with ease.

but.

Aelin is feeling a little weird right now.

If he remembered correctly, shouldn't Hod be a knight?

Why is he like a berserker from Skellige now?
In addition...

You wanted to kill Hackathal, why did you strike me with your sword?
