Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf.

Chapter 614 Summoning the Dragon! No Air Defense!
That was a pressure that ordinary people could not feel.

Only the most perceptive sorcerers were instantly jolted awake, sensing the oppressive aura that seemed to weigh down the entire city, like an ancient beast knocking on the door of the world, or perhaps tolling a silent guiding bell for the arrival of some being.

Following some kind of intuition, everyone saw the monster that had inexplicably appeared in the city of Ban Ade.

Yes, a monster.

Only a skeletal head remained, wearing a rusty helmet, with bluish-gray flames burning in the empty eye sockets, and a tattered cloak billowing in the wind.

Except for a skeletal horse wrapped in a tattered horse coat, it looks exactly like the legendary monsters in the sky.

But some people know that it was definitely not the Wild Hunt.

"That's... Erin?"

Vigfortz stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the skeleton knight who had suddenly appeared at the entrance of Lydia's painting studio.

Lydia van Bradwater blinked, tilting her chin forward as if to peer out of the clock tower's narrow window.

If it weren't for this moment, no one else would have walked out of the painting studio.

They would never associate the demon hunter Arryn, clad in dark red leather armor, wielding twin swords and possessing blue eyes, with the monster before them, its bluish-gray will-o'-the-wisps burning in its white, bony sockets, its rusted armor clinging to its skeletal body.

Ottoran also didn't believe it was the Wild Hunt, but not because he knew Arryn's identity.

The opposite of.

He had no idea why a monster with the same appearance and attire as his enemy would suddenly appear in the upper city.

He didn't believe it, because the skeleton knights soaring through the sky seemed to freeze high in the air at its appearance, their blue and red ghost flames flickering violently in their sockets.

Even Ottoran, who was also riding a flying monster, could feel the intense emotional fluctuations emanating from the skeleton knights.

Doubt, confusion, shock, horror...

They looked at each other with human-like expressions, their conflicted thoughts stirring up a gale high in the sky.

Ottoland was very familiar with this wind, which carried a mix of intense and complex emotions.

When the most powerful mages are thinking at high speed or using telepathy frequently, reality will be affected by their mental power.

But the emotions were so intense...

Ottoran subconsciously touched the rough leather back of the flying beast beneath him, confirming his previous understanding once again.

The legendary Wild Hunt is not a ghostly monster that acts on instinct, or some strange celestial phenomenon, but an intelligent being with intelligence comparable to, or even surpassing, human wisdom and social order.

More obviously...

His, Sunny's, and the other wizards' guesses in Passoron Forest were completely wrong.

The Wild Hunt on Earth may indeed be the target of the Wild Hunt in the Sky, but it is by no means the kind of fellow human being that the Wild Hunt is looking for because of political persecution, vendettas, crimes of passion, or theft of the treasure that controls the celestial spheres.

For the Wild Hunt, it is also an anomaly.

who is it?
Why is it disguised as the Wild Hunt?
What treasure will be used to control the convergence of the celestial spheres?
……

A storm of thoughts raged in Ottoran's mind, fueling the gale-force winds high in the sky.

On the ground, Sunny and his group recognized Lydia's gallery and knew that the "Wild Hunt" was most likely the mysterious man carrying Henry Gedimidis in the underground palace.

However, firstly, there was no burden of being wrapped in black cloth behind the "Wild Hunt," and secondly, the eerie pressure and the abrupt end of the battle in the sky poured cold water on Sunny's anxious and angry heart.

In an instant, due to a combination of factors, the new city of Ban Ade fell into a rare state of calm.

But the next second.

The tranquility was shattered in an instant as everyone saw Wild Hunt raise its head to look at the sky, its decaying, mottled white bone jaw wide open.

"Odin!"

At first, it was just the voice of "Wild Hunt" alone, followed by the trembling echoes of the surrounding buildings.

The various magical barriers encasing the building were like a stone dropped into a calm lake, creating ripples.

Immediately, the entire city of Ban Ade, and indeed the whole world, began to resonate with this.

The sounds intertwined, their origins completely indistinguishable, imbued with the resounding weight of ancient bronze.

In an extremely short time, the repeated roars suddenly transformed into a wild and powerful roar, instantly tearing the sky apart.

The entire Ban Ade began to tremble.

Dust and gravel rose and fell from the ground and ruins, spreading everywhere.

Amidst the dust and mist, the strange pressure that had just subsided suddenly erupted, accompanied by a roar, soaring into the sky and parting the thousands of miles of white clouds above Ban Ade.

【Name: Summoning Dragon】

[Type: Beast Roar]

[Learning Requirements: Introduction to the Way of the Beasts, mastery of "Beastshout: Berserk", "Beastshout: Wild Words", "Beastshout: Whisper of Life" and "Beastshout: Anti-Air"]

[Passive effect: Maintains the power flow of "Beast Roar: Summon Dragon" on a daily basis, can]
1. Slowly increase all attributes.

2. Enhance dragon nature

[Active Effect: Consumes energy to roar and summon a giant dragon from another world.]

[Note: Guess what dragon-like qualities are?!]

……

【Beast Roar: Summon Dragon】is the next Beast Roar in the main lineage of the Beast Roar path after 【Beast Roar: No Air】 is unlocked.

It's not even as Erin had imagined, requiring the double experience orbs to unlock [Beast Roar: No-Flight], but just like [Beast Roar: No-Flight], it only requires two hundred experience orbs.

So after mastering [Beast Roar: No Air], Erin immediately spent an experience orb to master it.

Of course, although it was said that only two hundred experience orbs were needed, in reality, Erin's inventory was almost completely wiped out again, leaving only about fourteen experience orbs.

【Experience Beads: 1424 Small Experience Beads】

As Erin told Wigford and Lydia van Bradwater, he stayed behind certainly not to sacrifice himself for others or die.

No matter how important Henry Gedimidis was to the Wolf School, it was not as important as his own life. It was not that he was unwilling to sacrifice for the school, but that he neither overestimated himself nor underestimated his importance to the school.

If allowed to continue developing in this way, the Wolf School will surely surpass the Brotherhood of Sorcerers and become the world's largest supernatural organization.

Therefore, he had the confidence to stay.

His strength is his source of confidence.

Since the Wild Hunt wouldn't let him go, he didn't want to lead the Wild Hunt back, nor did he want to live in constant fear, worrying that Ben Ade, under the instigation of Sunny and Ottolan, would unleash a necromancer frenzy, or that skeleton knights would suddenly descend from the sky.

Then he won't leave!

"Om-"

The earth began to tremble, and after the white clouds were parted, thick dark clouds gradually gathered in the clear blue sky.

The sun, which had just risen above the horizon, suddenly dimmed, and then a black sphere appeared beside it, slowly merging with the sun.

"what happened?!!"

Ottoran could no longer maintain his composure and ease, even in the face of the legendary Wild Hunt, and stared in horror at the strange phenomenon in the world.

It's hard to imagine that all of this was created by unknown people on the ground, using their tiny, ant-like bodies.

"Is it a celestial conjunction?" An answer instinctively popped into Ottoran's mind.

This is the most appropriate answer, since it happened twice in that withered woodland.

but……

Although the conjunction of the celestial spheres is a cataclysmic event that occurs only once every thousand years, it is puzzling that it was controlled by a single being.

However, in terms of sheer destructive power, even a few of Ban Ade's ritual masters could be dealt with using necromancy, so of course he posed no threat.

The summoned ghouls will at most wreak havoc on the already dilapidated new city of Ban Ad.

but……

"Why is my senses issuing such frantic warnings?"

Ottoran clutched his forehead, his face contorted in a grimace, the veins on his temples bulging and throbbing wildly. He hadn't felt this life-or-death situation in a long time, as if he would be beheaded the next second if he didn't do something.

So what should he do?

Ottolan pulled on the reins without hesitation.

"babble!"

The dragon-like but not-quite-dragon monster immediately let out a strange cry, turned its head towards the strange roar that had just been made, and swooped down.

Regardless of whether it's a "celestial conjunction" or not, as long as that strange "Wild Hunt" is killed, all problems will be solved.

As for whether the "treasure" that manipulates the "celestial conjunction" will be lost as a result?

Ottoran would never think of such things on a battlefield where his life was threatened.

Greed is death’s best friend.

But it wasn't Ottoran and his mount who reacted the fastest.

The skeleton knights, riding the howling winds of the sky, charged straight at the witcher disguised as the Wild Hunt before their roars had even faded. Under the command of Renakins, whose skull sockets flickered with crimson ghost fire, the knights had already charged through the air.

Just moments ago, they were mortal enemies, but now they seem like comrades-in-arms who have fought for many years, rushing towards the same foe without prior agreement.

Sunny also reacted.

He raised his hand and waved the golden scepter, and a dazzling red light rose into the sky and exploded.

Then the entire city came to life, with countless wizards and guards gathering around an inconspicuous gallery in the upper city.

A chilling killing intent surged to the sky.

There is nowhere to escape, nowhere to retreat, in the sky or on the ground, in all directions.

"Erin is finished..."

This was the only thought that Wigofferts and Lydia van Bradwater had while hiding in the clock tower.

No one could survive being surrounded like that.

Although Erin had just made quite a commotion as he had said, it seemed to take time, or perhaps it was just a bluff, merely a noise.

Even if there were further developments, under the combined attack of so many powerful figures like Ottoran, the Wild Hunt, and Sunny, even if he unleashed the spell that destroyed nearly half of Maripoli—Arzu's Double Cross—it wouldn't have mattered...

The enemy simply wouldn't give him that much time, foolishly waiting for him to finish casting his spells.

Lydia van Bradwater glanced at Wigfordtz, whose face was extremely grim.

Of course, no one could save Erin under such circumstances.

At least we can't let him die in vain... Lydia van Bradwater thought, then gently patted Wigford's arm, reminding him:
"Vigor, the guardian wizard on the south side has moved. We need to prepare to leave..."

"Wait a little longer!" Wigfordts pursed his lips reluctantly, his eyes fixed on the screen.

Lydia van Bradwater could only sigh, and was about to get up to mention the movements of Ben Ade and the Risberg wizards.

next second.

Wigford suddenly gripped her hand tightly, his nails digging into her flesh, causing her to groan in pain.

However, she didn't say anything. Instead, she immediately realized something and turned her head sharply to look over.

"impossible?!!"

Lydia van Bradwater covered her pink lips with her right hand and gasped.
-
"You are not the Wild Hunt!"

"Thief who stole the power of the Gate of Ad-Gaith, where did your armor of conquest come from?"

"Who...who are you?!"

A harsh, cold sound, like metal rubbing against metal, clashed against the divine wall of corpses constructed by the Otrop sign.

The divine wall swayed continuously, yet it steadily blocked every attack.

Erin ignored the mental attack from Renakins and stared intently at the terrifying figures of the riders.

"Wow~"

The crimson river that had just calmed in his veins surged again.

The golden energy that permeated the blood, scattered like stars, mixed with the four-colored magic power converging from the veins, and surged directly upwards.

“Mir…”

The strange tones uttered from the opening and closing of the lips were heavy as if advancing.

As soon as it left the mouth, it transformed into a ball of blue and white energy, moving at an extremely fast speed, almost becoming a blur, rushing towards the Wild Hunt.

"presumptuous!"

Renakins roared, and a burst of crimson bone fire leaped from his sockets, but he had no time to dodge, nor could he dodge, for his army was right behind him.

In a flash, he swung his sword and slashed at the incoming energy cluster.

The crescent-shaped energy bar, resembling a silvery sword aura, instantly split the energy cluster in two.

Before Renajins could even breathe a sigh of relief, the energy cluster that had split in two exploded instantly, scattering countless blue and white specks across a vast area.

Not only did it encompass all the Wild Hunts, but it also blocked the view of those Wild Hunts, catching Ottoran completely off guard.

"No harm done..."

Renakins's orbital fire throbbed as he checked the riders' condition via mental link, preparing to continue his charge.

next moment.

"Hercules~"

Nearly a hundred skeletal horses screamed pitifully.

Pulling the wild hunter on horseback, it plummeted straight down at an even faster speed.

Ottoran's mount also lost control and fell at the same time.

but……

Both Ottoran and the Wild Hunt have extensive combat experience.

Upon discovering that their mounts had lost the ability to fly, and that no matter how they tried to control them, even "dispelling magic" spells were ineffective, they immediately dismounted and used levitation spells.

"impossible!"

Ottolan gasped in horror.

The levitation technique had absolutely no effect.

It wasn't that it couldn't be released, but rather that the magic power was depleted, and the wind elements in the air had gathered, but it collapsed at the last moment before the spell was completed.

Like a monarch of elements and magic, he ruthlessly forbade the existence of levitation.

The Wild Hunt couldn't help but stir, chanting ancient phrases, yet they couldn't avoid falling! Falling! Falling again!
And at the same time...

The sun was completely obscured, leaving only a dark red ring around its edge.

Dark clouds gathered directly above the new city of Ban Ade, spiraling into a pitch-black void.

"Stab!"

"Stab!"

"Stab!"

Blood-red lightning bolts pierced the inky black clouds, spreading across the sky.

Then at some point...

"Thorn-"

Crimson lightning illuminated the dark clouds.

A massive, dark shadow revealed just the tip of the iceberg...
