The mastermind behind this started by creating a strange story

The sound of the sword cutting through the air rang beside Simon. The gorgeous swordsmanship was like a dance, tricky and swift. This was the swordsmanship of the Cat School.

Sword dance!

The Cat School emphasizes flexibility and attack power, and almost ignores defense. Although it is the swordsmanship of the Cat School, it is also included in the inheritance cave of the Wolf School Demon Hunter.

Although Simon did not master what he had learned, it was enough to cope with the current situation.

The sharp sword tip moved towards the fog monster's head, as if to directly cut off the annoying bat's head.

But at the moment when the two collided, the fog monster suddenly stomped its foot and abruptly stopped the figure that was rushing forward to bite.

Feint!

This was a feint by the fog demon. It used its pounce and bite to confuse Simon, but what it was really preparing to attack Simon was its sharp and unusually slender claws hidden behind its back.

That paw that is still intact!

The tip of the sword brushed past the fog monster's hair, but because the fog monster stopped suddenly, Simon misjudged and failed to directly hit the fog monster's head.

But this tiny difference in distance was enough for the fog demon's claws to hit Simon, who had no time to draw his sword to defend himself.

It's going to happen!

Watching the sharp claws grabbing towards his soft abdomen, Simon's brain worked rapidly, thinking about how to break the deadlock.

Although the chain mail lining provides a certain degree of defense, these sharp claws are definitely not to be trifled with, and he will definitely be injured!

The hands holding the hilt of the sword definitely would not have time to defend themselves. Even if they dropped the sword, the time it took to withdraw their hands to defend themselves would be enough for the claw to attack him!

There is no other way. Even if I am not skilled, I can only give it a try!

The thought flashed through his mind, and the next moment, Simon loosened his hands on the sword, and his left hand made a strange gesture in the sight of the fog demon.

A white seal flashed along with the gesture, and the fog demon with ferocious eyes was dazed for a second.

It was this second of confusion that caused the fog monster's attack to pause for a moment. Taking this opportunity, Simon stomped the ground with his right foot and took a step back to escape the fog monster's attack range.

But the resulting imbalance also caused him to fall backwards to the ground, but this was also within Simon's speculation.

In addition to his left hand that was making the seal, his free right hand had already reached his lower back, where his crossbow was hanging.

The crossbows had been loaded with arrows long before they arrived, and all they had to do was pull the trigger to fire the arrows soaked in poison.

The confusion in the fog monster's eyes disappeared, because it was the first time that Simon used the seal in actual combat, so the seal he used could not exert its full power.

Just like the Seal of Axi he used just now, the function of this seal is mind control. If used by a skilled demon hunter, it can completely control some demons with weak minds, making them unable to distinguish between friend and foe, and helping one's side deal with the enemy. It is a very useful magical skill.

But in Simon's hands, all he could do was make the demon dazed for a second, and he couldn't even control it.

But, that's enough.

Simon's body was already extraordinary, so he was able to take out the crossbow while completing the retreat, then aim and shoot. The crossbow arrow was fired at the moment he was about to fall to the ground.

The fog monster, which had just broken free from control, had just regained its sight when a crossbow arrow flashing with cold light appeared in front of it.

"Oh!"

"Hiss—!"

A dull sound of landing was heard, accompanied by the scream of the fog demon. The demon that was shot in the eye by a crossbow arrow screamed much louder than the previous two times.

Soon, the screams became weaker.

No creature can survive with its head destroyed, let alone this crossbow arrow is poisoned.

Chapter 441 Arriving at the town

After shooting the crossbow arrow, Simon still did not let down his guard. He had just made a misjudgment, and he could not afford to make another mistake this time.

He fell to the ground, but did not relax because of the devil's scream. Instead, he made another gesture with his free left hand.

A khaki light flashed across Simon's body, and he put on a shield for himself.

Seal of Quinn.

This is a passive seal. After using it, the seal will form a circular magic shield around the body, making the protected body temporarily immune to harm.

This was also the seal that was originally sealed in the witcher badge. It was this seal that protected Simon, who was still an ordinary person at that time.

However, compared to the Quinn Seal at that time, which not only protected the user but also could knock away demons after exploding, the Quinn Seal used by Simon was much simpler.

There is not even a circular shield visible to the naked eye, it is just a thin protective film on the body.

But it still has a certain degree of defensive power, and will not be broken by a blow.

Simon put up a shield for himself and was alert to the still screaming demon. While getting up from the ground, he drew out another silver sword on his back.

At this moment, he held a crossbow in his right hand and a silver sword in his left hand, guarding against the insidious and cunning demons.

This time, however, the demon seemed to have been truly wounded, its screams growing weaker and weaker, and even its strength to escape seemed to have disappeared.

Seeing this scene, Simon did not step forward, but raised his right hand again.

"call out!"

The sound of the crossbow arrow breaking through the air again passed through the air, and with a "puff" sound it pierced into the demon's other intact eye socket.

This time, there was not even a scream. The demon collapsed straight to the ground, dead as if his spine had been pulled out.

After waiting for a few minutes, Simon realized that the demon was really motionless. He then walked forward cautiously and slashed it with his sword without hesitation.

"Pfft!"

The splattered blood changed the color of the sword, and Simon chopped off the demon's head with one sword. Only then did he completely relax.

The badge didn't vibrate, which meant that this was the only demon nearby, so he could finally take a break.

Simon threw away the sword in his hand and lay straight on the ground, staring at the still clear sky with empty eyes.

The fishy smell of blood went straight into his nose, but he did not show any disgust at this moment. This was the smell of victory, although it was a bit smelly.

Sooner or later he'll get used to the taste.

Once the tense mind relaxes, physical fatigue will sweep over you like a tide and spread throughout your body.

The few seals he had just used, including the magic power he had channeled into enchanting the sword, almost caused him to lose half of his magic power.

Although magic power cannot be equated with physical strength, the difference is actually not that big. Once all the magic power is used up, his physical strength will probably be exhausted as well.

Swordsmanship consumes physical strength, and magic signs consume magic power. In short, demon hunting is a laborious task.

After being paralyzed for a while, Simon felt that he had almost recovered, so he climbed up from the ground.

Then he took back the two swords and carefully wiped the swords clean with a handkerchief. He would have to buy some sword oil later, otherwise he would not want to see the swords damaged.

After the equipment was recovered, Simon looked at the killed demon.

According to demon hunting documents, there is a mutation inducer in the body of the demon. This is the source of the demon's power and is also very useful to them, the demon hunters.

Mutagenesis agents are usually found in the demon's heart and can be seen by cutting open the heart.

This mutant can be made into a potion, and the potions made from the demon mutant usually have all kinds of incredible effects. They are more powerful than potions made from herbs, and can even use certain demonic abilities after drinking them.

Most importantly, these mutants are not disposable, but can be used multiple times until the mutants' powers are completely gone.

After drinking the potion made from mutants, you can keep the mutants and use them for the next brew. Although the effectiveness will decrease with each brewing, it is still a means of strengthening yourself.

Thinking of this, Simon pulled out a single-edged dagger from his waist and walked towards the demon's body.

A moment later, Simon dug out a round, bloody, eyeball-like flesh and blood tissue from the demon's heart.

This round piece of flesh and blood tissue is wrapped in dark blue blood vessels, just like a seed.

After digging out the mutant, Simon ignored the demon corpse on the ground and turned to walk in the direction he came from.

The emergency has been resolved, so it's time for him to leave.

Not long after, Simon returned to his car. The car was no different from when he left. This was a good thing, as it meant that nothing had happened while he was away.

Simon opened the trunk and found a glass jar, put the mutant in his hand into it, and at the same time poured in some water essence, which is distilled water for preservation.

Anyway, the essence of water will be used in the final cooking, so it’s okay to use it to preserve the mutants now.

After saving the spoils and equipment, Simon took out a cigarette and lit it up.

"Hi~hoo~"

He exhaled the smoke from his mouth, and at the same time, he exhaled the fatigue from the battle.

After smoking a few times, he learned on his own how to make the cigarette go through his lungs. However, considering his current physical condition, even if the cigarette goes through his lungs, it would not harm his body.

A certain DC exorcist was extremely envious.

After smoking, Simon didn't stay for long and drove away directly.

He had to go to another town. Now, in addition to investigating the demon, he also had to buy some herbs to brew mutant potion.

In addition to the main material, the demon mutant, a lot of auxiliary materials are also needed, and those auxiliary materials are various kinds of herbs.

There were no more accidents on this journey, and Simon arrived at the town he wanted to go to smoothly.

However, when he arrived at the town, the residents were fleeing, just like the previous town.

"Are you late?"

Just by seeing the residents fleeing, Simon had already guessed that this place might have been attacked by the demon.

At this time, not many residents fled, because most people were still packing up. Even if they wanted to flee, they had to take all their belongings with them, and sell what they could not take with them.

Looking at the town that seemed lively on the surface but was actually in a state of panic, Simon's eyes behind his sunglasses did not change much.

After all, what happened has happened.

When everyone was eager to leave the town immediately, Simon, who came to the town at this moment, was so conspicuous, but because everyone had their own thoughts, no one noticed him.

Simon was also happy to see this. No one noticed him, which made it easier for him to start his investigation.

Now, let's find a hotel.

Chapter 442 Night Investigation

Although Simon wanted to find a hotel to rest, in fact, the hotels in the town had already closed.

No one can open a business under these conditions, except those who don't care about the devil.

Simon was not discouraged even though he couldn't find a hotel to rest. He could still rest in the car, although it was not as comfortable as a bed.

However, apart from the hotel, he was lucky enough to find a small shop. Although the shop was not big, it sold a variety of herbs and spices, including many herbs that he could use.

In response to this, Simon directly bought a large amount of herbs. The owner of the shop was probably about to close, so he gave him a big discount. The total cost was only a few hundred dollars, which was very cheap.

Simon, carrying a lot of bags, did not continue to wander around, but left here quickly. He had to go back to brew potions and investigate the crime scene in the evening. He did not have much time to waste.

There were police investigating during the day, so he wouldn't go over and compete with them for their work.

The preparation of potions is actually very simple. It is just like making soup. There is no scene of witches brewing potions in a big pot like in books or TV shows.

That kind of cooking in a big pot would only cause the properties of the herbs to conflict with each other, and then produce a pot of stew with no known effect. Not to mention him, even the bravest demon hunter would not dare to cook potions and drink them.

However, the colors of witch potions and witcher potions are quite similar, both are colorful.

Thinking of this, Simon couldn't help but chuckle, and his depressed mood improved a little.

He also had a crucible for brewing potions, which he bought before he became a witcher. It was a precautionary measure that he had accidentally stumbled upon. After all, he certainly could not have imagined what would happen next.

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened. The dusk did not last long and night came.

Simon, who was brewing potion in the wild, also put away his alchemy tools, as well as several glass test tubes with lids.

These test tubes contain medicines of different colors, including purple, orange-red, light blue, and white. Some are clear, while others have some sediment.

These were the results of his afternoon's work, potions with different effects. He had originally wanted to make some sword oil specifically for dealing with demons, but unfortunately he had insufficient materials and had to give up.

Sword oil is equivalent to a temporary damage-increasing buff. As long as it is applied to the sword, it can increase the damage of hitting the demon.

Unfortunately, some materials are too scarce and he hasn't gathered them all yet.

After putting away all the tools, Simon equipped himself with his weapons, took a few potions he had just brewed in the afternoon, and sneaked towards the town.

The town was very quiet at night, there weren't even many lights, let alone people going out at night.

The demon's attack planted fear in their hearts. Even though there were police officers staying here, no one was willing to put themselves in a dangerous environment.

The dark night is undoubtedly a dangerous environment.
