Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf.

Chapter 574 Demon Hunter's Notes: Sleep! Celestial Sphere Convergence and Advancement!
A translucent, emerald-green door suddenly appeared overhead.

Apart from him and Erin, it seemed that no one in Ivaraquax or the Wild Hunt had discovered the door.

wrong!

The Witcher's azure pupils faintly emitted a shimmering green light.

That door, which cannot be seen by ordinary people, was summoned by him!

what is that?
The girl wanted to ask a question, but the song that was stirred in her blood came out urgently.

The song was urging her, urging her to make a decision as soon as possible...

"What determination?"

As the girl spoke to herself, the song found its answer, detached from her body, rose into the air, and landed on the emerald green door.

[WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!]

[A wave of celestial conjunction detected! A wave of celestial conjunction detected...]

The translucent scarlet banner in Erin's eyes seemed to have been suddenly interfered with, and the flickering text suddenly stopped flashing as if it had crashed.

Immediately afterwards, as if overwhelmed, the entire semi-transparent panel of the Demon Hunter's Notes began to shake and tremble.

But it seems more like excitement.

[Ding! Ancient power detected, celestial sphere convergence and advancement in progress...]

[Ding! Ancient power detected, celestial sphere convergence and advancement in progress...]

[Ding! Ancient power detected, celestial sphere convergence and advancement in progress...]

Ancient power! Celestial spheres converging and advancing?!
The Witcher suddenly realized something, his eyes widened, and he looked down.

Sheri's already pale face grew even paler, and she stared at him blankly.

"What did you do..."

The words have not yet fallen.

[Ding! The Demon Hunter's Notes is dormant. Please do not open the Demon Hunter's Notes!]

[Ding! The Celestial Convergence "Giant Ghoul" has advanced to the Alien Fusion "Giant Ghoul" Stage 1 (crossed out)... Stage 2 (crossed out)... Stage 3.]

[Please select a fusion location! (If the host does not select one, a random location will be selected after 30 seconds.)]

"Fuck!"

Damn it, they skipped Phase 1 of the interdimensional fusion process and jumped straight to Phase 3!
In the first phase of the alien fusion of "water ghosts," a rain of water ghosts fell directly in the city of Ban Ade, with at least a thousand water ghosts descending.

What about Phase Three?
And what does "the Demon Hunter's Diary is asleep" mean...?

[Ding! The Celestial Convergence "Giant Ghoul" has advanced to the third stage of the Alien Fusion "Giant Ghoul". Please select a fusion location! (If the host does not select a location, it will be randomly located after 26 seconds.)]

The scarlet words stained everything within his field of vision.

As the mechanical voice sounded, Ai's vision once again saw that fresh, verdant door, only this time the Door of Adegas was clearer and more...magnificent than ever before.

That door seemed like an ancient road to heaven, the indescribable sense of time permeating its jade-like material.

"Erin, that door...that door..."

She-Ra cried out weakly in his arms.

Erin was suddenly awakened, his eyes darting around in a panic.

"grass!"

"We absolutely cannot use random location tracking! We absolutely cannot use random location tracking!"

If the portal to the otherworldly fusion were to randomly appear near him, they would likely be torn apart by the spatial turbulence.

"Erin, what are you looking at? What's that?" Shiri pressed.

Erin didn't have time to answer.

He looked back.

Although the Wild Hunt Legion, led by the King of the Wild Hunt, could not see the phantom of the Gate of Ad-Gaith, they seemed to feel a sense of unease and suddenly quickened their pace.

Arryn originally intended to open the door directly in the open space between the Wild Hunt King and them.

But after considering the power and scope of the alien fusion, Ban Ade still resolutely raised the Gate of Ade Gais into the sky.

Although the Celestial Convergence has been greatly upgraded due to the influence of the Ancient Blood, the most important thing is to break free of the cage for Ciri and Ivaraquax and create an opportunity for them to escape.

Whether or not the Wild Hunt King can be killed and his army destroyed is not important.

Don't let a small gain lead to a big loss. If you get greedy for a few minor tricks and end up like Haxor, the "Big Eater," it would be ridiculous.

Having made up his mind, Erin stopped looking at the skeleton army behind him and instead looked up at the sky.

[Ding! The Celestial Convergence "Giant Ghoul" has advanced to the third stage of the Alien Fusion "Giant Ghoul". Please select a fusion location! (If the host does not select a location, it will be randomly located after 14 seconds.)]

Mind control.

Erin moved the door to the gray clouds at the edge of his vision.

...4, 3, 2, 1
"Eirin?"

Sheri felt a warmth on her back as she was tightly embraced, and her hands, which were holding the reins, were completely enveloped by a pair of rough, large hands.

Her face flushed, but she did not resist. She followed his strength and lowered herself onto the horse's back.

"Get ready! Here it comes!" Erin's deep, tense voice brushed against her earlobe.

Sheri instinctively shook her head, about to ask what was coming and what it had to do with the door from before...

"Click~"

A strange noise from the sky interrupted her instantly.

The world fell silent in an instant.

Arryn, Ciri, Ivaraquax, the King of the Wild Hunt, and the skeleton knights following him all seemed to sense something and subconsciously looked up at the sky.

The sky, which had been dark and gloomy, suddenly resembled a natural crystal covered with textures, with purple cracks shrouding the horizon.

The bluish-gray flames burning in the empty eye sockets of the Wild Hunt King, now nothing but withered bones, suddenly contracted.

"Child of ancient bloodline, what have you done!"

The King of the Wild Hunt's furious howl tore through the sky, causing the space to tremble.

The howl seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel's back in the cracks in the sky.

"Wow~"

The purple crack shattered with a roar, transforming into countless tiny feathers of light that gracefully fluttered down.

But what happened next was anything but beautiful.

"Boom!"

The deafening roar shook the heavens and the earth.

A black hole suddenly appeared in the center of the clouds above the group's heads. It wasn't a black hole, but a crack that was rapidly opening to both sides.

The cracks kept growing.

In the blink of an eye, a huge crack appeared, stretching from north to south, seemingly about to split the entire world in two.

The rest of the sky suddenly turned a dark red, which was extremely ominous.

Where there is no wind, a strong wind gradually rises, and the grass and trees bend over.

"This...this is..."

The King of the Wild Hunt stared intently at the strange phenomenon in the sky, stirring up long-dormant, rusty memories in his mind.

"The Gate of Ade Gass!"

With a cry of alarm, an uncontrollable commotion erupted within the Wild Hunt Legion.

"What, the Gate of Ade Gass?"

"Ade...is he...the one I understand?"

"The Gate of Ad Gais! I can't be mistaken! The magical fluctuations of the Gate of Ad Gais are so magnificent and powerful, yet so incredibly familiar!"

"It's that Dh'oine..."

"...It can't be Geviel!" The Wild Hunt King's deep voice suppressed all the commotion that erupted among the skeleton knights.

All the Wild Hunt members stared intently at him.

"The child of the ancient bloodline has not even mastered his own power. He has to rely on the influence of those unicorns to travel through time and space. It is impossible for him to summon the Gate of Ade Gais of the Alder People!"

"But……"

The King of the Wild Hunt waved his rusty, dark red arm guard: "I didn't say this wasn't the Gate of Ad Gais. I know better than you how the Grand Gate tears worlds apart."

The Wild Hunt fell silent.

The Wild Hunt King's gaze shifted from the girl on the black horse to the unremarkable human behind her for the first time.

Meanwhile, at this very moment on the other side.

The gaze, so tangible, sent chills down Erin's spine, the cold seeping from his tailbone directly to his scalp.

will die! will die! will die!

Every muscle fiber in the body trembled, sending out a warning.

Erin was like a wild beast encountering its natural enemy, his mind went completely blank from the shock.

He knew that the King of the Wild Hunt must have noticed something amiss and was now targeting him.

The girl, oblivious to the strangeness behind her, stared in astonishment at the breathtaking scenery in the sky, her clear, emerald-green eyes wide with shock.

"Eirin, this...this...you did this?!"

"No!" Erin stared intently at the massive crack in the sky. "This is the work of both of us, but that doesn't matter anymore!"

"Ivaraquax!" He didn't care about anything else and directly used telepathy to transmit a terrifying mental wave.

Starry eyes! No! You don't have starry eyes! You are...

Ivaraquax emitted a surprised mental fluctuation.

"Never mind that! Can you find a way out now?"

Oh! I'll try, I'll try...

Ivaraquax suddenly raised his horse's head and looked at Ciri, who was staring blankly at Arlin, with surprise.

Starry eyes! The blockade outside is gone! We can... What happened, starry eyes? You can leave now, aren't you happy?

Sheri ignored him and instead looked up at Erin with reluctance.

She knew that the time for parting was approaching.

"I will avert the demise of the Wolf School."

Erin thought she was reminding him and solemnly promised.

Then look up at the sky, where the crack almost merges with the north and south horizons.

The third phase of the alien fusion, the "Giant Ghoul," is progressing much slower than he had imagined, but once it officially begins, it will undoubtedly be more significant than any of the celestial convergences he has experienced in the past.

At that time, it was hard to say whether the spatial turbulence caused by the fusion of different realms would affect Ciri and Ivaraquax's departure.

Therefore, he leaned down and whispered in Ciri's ear, "Let's leave now while the Wild Hunt hasn't made any other moves."

"When are you leaving?" the girl asked softly.

“Soon,” Erin showed her her somewhat translucent right hand, “after seeing you off, I left.”

He could have gone to answer the call right now, but he was suppressing that inexplicable attraction.

He still has some things to do here.

"You can leave now..."

Erin shook his head and interrupted, "Listen to Sheri, don't miss this opportunity again."

"Then I'll leave Kelby behind..."

"You need her more than I do, and she's a good, obedient girl. Take good care of her..."

Sheri lowered her head and remained silent.

"There's no time!" Erin urged.

"Can we meet again?" Shiri looked up reluctantly at the pair of deep blue eyes she had only known for a short time, the emerald green eyes sparkling like stars.

Erin paused for a moment, then softened his tone.

"Of course, since I am determined to save the Wolf School, you will definitely be able to see me."

"Perhaps, when you travel back to your world, the first thing you'll see is me, a witcher even older than Geralt."

Shiri chuckled, as if struck by a sudden thought, then looked intently into Erin's eyes: "You promise?"

“I promise,” Erin nodded, then urged, “Let’s go!”

Without waiting for the girl's reply, he kicked off Kelby's saddle and was about to ride away.

But at that moment, a fleeting, soft touch came from his right hand, and at the same time, his palm sank slightly, and his five fingers were clenched together, as if he had grasped something.

"I am of ancient blood, lord of all realms. Do not forget your promise, or no matter where you are or what time it is, I will find you!"

The witcher, who had just leaped into the air, heard the girl's remarkably confident words and stared in astonishment at her emerald green eyes.

next second.

He landed lightly on the ground.

The girl rode a black horse eastward.

……

"Da da da~"

Amidst the thunderous sound of galloping hooves, Shirei lingered for a long time until the figure disappeared before reluctantly turning her gaze away.

"Ivaraquax, was he telling the truth or lying just now?"

With starry eyes, he said...

"Forget it, no need to say anything more, let's... leave!"

The girl glanced back one last time at the faint black dot, then resolutely turned away and disappeared into the vast grassland.

……

the other side.

Arlin landed lightly on the ground, watching the girl's retreating figure until she disappeared. Then he turned back to look at the Wild Hunt army, which had stopped at some point, its ranks now in perfect formation.

"Aren't you planning to pursue her?"

He looked up and met the gaze of a pair of bluish-gray will-o'-the-wisps beneath the rusty helmet.

Despite the howling wind, nearly a thousand skeleton knights remained motionless, surrounding the King of the Wild Hunt and coldly watching him as if he were a dead man.

If it weren't for the cracks in the sky still widening, the grass on the grassland would undulate like a tide.

Everything seemed to have stopped.

The King of the Wild Hunt raised his hands, removed his skull helmet, and revealed the face of a black-haired elf.

A face that resembled that of a raptor.

“When you broke the amethyst wall of Pelagernandez, the game of hunting was over. No one can catch an untamed swift on the high seas.”

The King of the Wild Hunt, his voice was quite different from his raptor-like appearance; it was elegant, polite, and gentle, like a nobleman who had just returned from the hunt.

He didn't even use ancient language or telepathy; instead, he spoke eloquently in common language.

"Moreover, compared to the ancient bloodline child who will eventually return to the embrace of the Alder People, I am more curious about you, the current master of the Gate of Ade Gais."

"But you don't seem to be planning to catch me?" Erin found his current attitude strange.

The King of the Wild Hunt stared silently at Arryn, his black eyes seeming to pierce through his soul and strip him bare, but after a moment, he withdrew the chilling pressure that sent shivers down one's spine.

"No one can catch someone who is neither in this world nor in this time."

"Let alone strangers..."

"You're about to leave, aren't you?"
