Blood of the Hunting God

It made the dissipated bloody light tremble and gather again.

Boom!

The third time the hammer fell, the original blood-colored light had completely disappeared, while the meat saw began to emit a cold light.

"In this way, even if it is almost strengthened."

Andre, who nodded slightly, picked up the meat saw and handed it to the hunter who was waiting by the side.

Holding the familiar weapon in his hand, the hunter clearly felt the changes brought about by this meat saw.

The feeling of waving is smoother than before, and at the same time, you can feel that the strength of the weapon has been greatly improved. If you use the current saw knife to fight the large group of monsters before, the hunter can be sure that he will be more relaxed. There will never be a situation where the weapon is broken.

"Has it been strengthened?"

Abigail's little head poked out of the door.

"Ah."

Nodding slightly, the hunter put the meat saw on his waist and prepared to leave.

Then he was blocked by the appearance of a woman.

"Interesting weapon, no wonder Andre will take the initiative to help you strengthen it."

Forging master Aike, at this moment, looked at the meat saw in the hunter's hand with a very interested expression.

"Would you mind letting me take a look?"

As if seeing something very interesting, the woman said to the hunter.The hunter didn't think too much, and directly handed over the meat saw in his hand to the other party, and let the forge master hold the meat saw in both hands and walked to a platform on the side of the room to study.

"It's really rare for you to be interested in such a purely cold weapon."

Andre looked at Aike with a surprised expression.

"Aunt Aike is very different from ordinary forging masters. I heard from other people that she will infuse magical power into weapons, so that swords can produce flames or lightning out of thin air."

Abigail, who walked up to the hunter, saw that the hunter didn't quite understand the current situation, so she explained it to him in a low voice.

Imbue weapons with magical powers?

The hunter couldn't help but imagine that he swung the meat saw casually and was swept away by a lightning storm.

Seems to be pretty good.

"Don't think about it too much. Weapons that can carry magic power have very high requirements in terms of materials. It is impossible for ordinary hunting weapons to be infused with magic."

As if guessing what the hunter was thinking, the middle-aged woman named Aike waved her hand helplessly, and then continued to study the meat saw brought by the hunter.

But looking at it, a little surprised expression appeared on the woman's face.

"Well...it seems, yes."

This kind of touch, it seems that the strength of the material is much better than expected, at least it is not the kind of garbage in the hands of ordinary hunters.

Although it can only be called a weapon of ordinary materials, this method of refining and casting seems to have been specially processed, so does it have the tolerance that ordinary weapons do not have?

However, there is probably no way to inject too much magic power, and it may be dangerous to carry out attribute transformation, but pure power blessing may be quite suitable.

"I can empower this weapon and make it even more powerful."

"However, I can't sell for free, what can you do for me?"

The corner of Aike's mouth curled into a smile, and he looked at the hunter with a bit of arrogance.

Unlike many hunters and apprentices who hang out at the bottom all year round, Aike was born in a mining family and lived a superior life since he was a child.

In this kind of life, she possessed the talent of magic and got the opportunity to learn, but when she was young, she encountered a village that was attacked by monsters, so she really saw the miserable situation faced by the edge of the world, and the pressure that has gradually come up. doomsday crisis.

Knowing that he is not the type who is good at fighting, Aike began to try to use his magic talent and the smelting knowledge passed down from the mining family, and thus summed up a set of unique magic injection techniques, which can inject powerful magic into the hunter's weapons. magic.

However, even though this is the case, because infusion has high requirements on the quality of weapons, only very few hunters have such conditions to allow Aike to serve.

It is worth mentioning that the weapons and armor used by Disma today are the enhanced equipment that Aike has injected.

"Aunt Echo?"

Abigail, who was standing beside the hunter, looked at the smile on the face of the woman in front of her, and for some reason had a bad feeling.

"what do you need?"

The hunter spoke hoarsely, intending to see what the other party wanted first.

Ai Ke raised her eyebrows. She didn't answer immediately, but took out a pocket in her pocket, and found a crystal clear, blood-red stone with many edges and corners. The stones are still shining, and people can't help but be attracted by them.

"This is the crystallization of my craftsmanship. It is made with the power of a filthy monster. I call it a blood gem."

"Blood gems can be injected into weapons through my unique craftsmanship, bringing unimaginable power increases to weapons and making your hunting smoother."

"Of course, this thing is not cheap. At least 3000 silver coins made by the Star Kingdom are still required. How about it, can you get it?"

Aike's words fell, and the hunter fell into silence.

If I remember correctly, I stayed in Xingkong Town for a period of time and completed two entrusted missions. It seems that I didn't earn half of the price of this blood gem.

Is this little thing so expensive?

Although I can feel that this little thing does contain a lot of power, but the hunter really doesn't have so much money!

"Aunt Aike, don't play tricks on Mr. Hunter. What's the use of money in this wilderness!"

Abigail waved her little hands angrily and shouted. Obviously, the clever little girl immediately realized that Ai Ke didn't really want money, but the fact that she was preparing to ask the hunter for other conditions by taking advantage of this impossible condition. .

"It's really a hunter who protects you. It can be seen that she will be a good wife when she grows up."

"Hey hey?!!"

With just one sentence from Aike, the Abigail was successfully sunk, and she hid behind the hunter with a blushing face.

The hunter himself didn't realize that there was something wrong, and even nodded in agreement.In fact, he really felt that with Abigail's mature and steady personality, if anyone married her in the future, the relationship between husband and wife must be very happy.

However, this kind of problem can be put aside for a while. Hunters are more concerned about how to make their weapons stronger.

"My request is very simple, you help me kill a monster, give me its soul, and I will infuse you with magic for free. Oh, by the way, the soul of the caller Elvis is also in yours Right, and I heard from some hunters that you have been to Lusa City, have you harvested the souls of powerful monsters there? In short, if you give me the soul, I can infuse your weapons."

Ai Ke chuckled, lying on his back on the chair to reveal his plump body, and spoke to the hunter calmly.

Do you need a soul?

The hunter was lost in thought.

The hunter has returned the soul of Mentus, the king of Luce City, to the guardian of the resting place, allowing him to return to the earth and sleep peacefully.

Although the guardian had no way to repay the hunter, he still tried his best to do one thing for the hunter, but there is no need to say what that thing is here.

"...What kind of monster, I will kill it."

The hunter simply accepted the deal.

"So simple?"

Aike was a little surprised, but the hunter just watched her silently.

"So that's how it is, because I have absolute confidence in my own strength."

The woman who understood something laughed again, and then a blood-colored strange power suddenly entangled her body, and the little gem fell from her hand and touched the meat saw.With a flash of light, the blood gem disappeared, and the aura lingering on the saw knife became thicker.

"Take it as an advance payment, I like you very much."

Throwing the weapon to the hunter, watching him casually reach out to catch it, Aike stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the church area in Pilgrimage Town.

"The targets I need you to attack are two cursed souls."

"They are separated from each other and connected to each other, trapped in this land forever."

"Kill them and bring their souls to me, and then I will show you what real power is."

In Aike's slightly high voice, the hunter just waved the meat saw in his hand again, feeling that extraordinarily powerful power was in his hands, he couldn't help showing a somewhat happy expression.Of course, soon, the hunter restrained his expression, calmed down, and looked up at the forging master.

"Where? Kill who?"

Hunter's attitude is still very straightforward.

"Old Churchyard Cemetery, Tower of Remembrance."

"Only the longing knight, Grendel, and the cursed Kothea, who is guarded by him, remain."

"I await good news from you, Hunter."

Aike stood up, bowed slightly to salute, and asked the hunter earnestly.

The dark night is still shrouded in this dilapidated ruined town, and the hunter, who has only rested for more than ten minutes, is ready to step into it again at this time and start hunting.

Chapter 11: Before the Hunt

"Well……"

Opening her eyes in a daze, Abigail yawned and sat up grabbing the blanket that covered her body.

Raising his head, he met the hunter's gaze.

"Hey, Mister Hunter?"

The somewhat surprised girl blinked, rubbed her eyes again, and then realized that the hunter was sitting beside her.

Hey hey, what's going on?

Abigail's eyes widened, showing a shocked expression.

"Mr. Hunter, why are you still here..."

Shouldn't it be time to prepare for the hunt, or discuss the next move with other team members?

Abigail asked subconsciously, and then saw the puzzled expression in the hunter's eyes.

That expression seemed to say something like "Didn't you let me stay here?"

Ah, wait.

Speaking of which, last night, I seemed to have indeed done so.

The girl recalled that last night, after the hunter and the infusionist Aike reached an agreement, she actually planned to rush to the old church area at night.

Obviously just escaped from a high-intensity battle, and then ran away again

To take risks, this behavior is of course impossible for Abigail to accept.So she immediately jumped up and hugged the hunter's arm, asking him to take a good rest before going to fight.

After that, it seemed that because I was sleepy and tired, I just found a corner to lie down and rest.

And at that time, because he was afraid that the hunter would go away quietly, he seemed to be holding the hunter's arm, and made him sit down against the wall.

So I just slept for hours holding Mr. Hunter's arm like this? !

Abigail's little face turned red instantly.

"woke up?"

The hunter stared at Abigail calmly. Although he tried his best to make his voice softer, it was still unavoidably hoarse.

It's as if the voice itself has been deliberately adjusted to make the spoken voice feel like this, or in other words, it's because the hunter's original voice can't be heard clearly, so this strange feeling appears ?

"Oh, Mr. Hunter, um, well, good morning."

After hesitating and being shy for a while, Abigail finally whispered hello to the hunter.

Never lose your manners at any time, this is the basis of being a good boy.

Stretching out his hand, the hunter gently stroked the little girl's head, feeling the touch brought by the soft and long hair.

After touching Abigail shaking his head and making a "woo-woo" sound, the hunter finally stood up, moved his joints slightly, then bent down to grab and fold the blanket covering Abigail, and then Walked out of the room where the girl temporarily lived in the library.

The voice of the girl saying goodbye and cheering came from far behind. The hunter didn't turn his head, but just waved his hand to show that he understood, and then moved forward facing the moonlight.

After about four hours of rest, the people in the team have basically recovered.As an ordinary person, such a short rest time may still be a bit difficult, but the hunters here are all experienced and outstanding in all aspects, so basically there will be no problems in this regard.

On the streets of the town, the monsters that originally wandered in the town have basically been eliminated by the hunters.

At this time, the logistics team set up the stove and simply cooked some food for the hunters. The hunters saw many men and women holding bowls or sitting or standing and squatting, and they gathered together to solve the problem. The food in the restaurant, and by the way, talk about topics such as the horrible craftsmanship of a certain chef.

So far, it can be considered that everything is going well.

Although two teams suffered certain injuries, they also received effective treatment last night.In the current situation where almost half of the entire corruption field has passed, without any sacrifices, it can be said to be quite smooth.
