Blood of the Hunting God

Although the reason for this success is based on the fact that under normal circumstances, the furthest point that hunters reach is here, so all kinds of dangers along the way have been basically ascertained, and there will be no unexpected situations.

The next journey is the road that only the heroes who hunt the gods have traveled and left records.

In those records, the road ahead is quite dangerous. Just before stepping into the cursed forest, there are four extremely powerful monsters that are likely to be encountered by everyone.

Ah, no, there are three now.After all, the [Silent Monster] has been wiped out.That big guy who was supposed to live in the Black Lake area ran hundreds of kilometers to Xingkong Town inexplicably, and now he has been chopped into pieces.

The hunter heard that Andre also used that guy's teeth to make a weapon, and it seems that it is still being debugged. Maybe Tardiff will use it for a try.

To be honest, it was a bit of a pity for the hunter not to be able to face off against the big man who was said to be more than ten meters tall and wielding a heavy hammer.

Especially after knowing the high casualties the hunters paid to kill the monster, this regret became even stronger.After all, if he is present, the hunter can be sure that he can greatly reduce casualties.But in many cases, the development of things will not be transferred according to personal thoughts, and the hunter has no way to know in advance where he should go in the chaotic situation at that time, so this kind of useless thought after the fact is only for the hunter. After a while in my mind, it disappeared.

However, it can't be regarded as completely disappeared, at least... those children, the hunter still remembers them, whether they are those who survived or those who disappeared without a trace.

I will resolutely fight this battle of God of Hunting, perhaps because of the short time I spent with those children.

tread--

The hunter's footsteps stopped in front of a hut. At this moment, Disma, who had packed up his equipment, was standing outside the house. When he saw the hunter coming, he reached out to say hello.

It can be seen that the other two people in the house are also ready to go.

Indeed, under normal circumstances, it is time to leave this town and move on to the next town.

But before that, Hunter has other things to do.

"Are you planning to go to the old church area? Tsk, that guy Aike is really free."

After learning about his next thoughts from the hunter, Disma couldn't help but smacked his tongue and shook his head. It seems that the forging master Aike has always had a bad reputation among hunters.

Look like.

"If it was someone else, I would probably think that it was looking for death, but you are different. In short, I will tell others. It is definitely impossible for a large team to stay for a long time, so the composition of the team has to be changed. Well, how about this, I will negotiate with the right-wing backs and ask them to keep their rotation personnel, and then you can just catch up with them and go with them."

After some exchanges, Disma's vanguard team was supplemented with a replacement team, while the hunter replaced a member of the right-wing guard team and asked that member to go to the forward's rotation team.As for the defenders themselves, they slowed down and waited for the hunters to catch up.

Because there is still a little time before the big troops get ready to set off, considering the necessary distance between the forward team and the rear guard team and other conditions, the hunter probably has several hours to complete his task, but it is not too late. It is relatively abundant.

Well, it's almost time to get down to business.

The hunter set his eyes on the dilapidated buildings in the distance, the place known as the Old Church District.

【Longing Knight Grendel】

【The Cursed One Kosia】

These are the two names that the hunters learned yesterday.

The Goddess Knight and Holy Nun who guarded each other finally sacrificed in this small town and turned into terrifying monsters.

It is said that just before the filthy force completely eroded their ego, the nun sealed herself with her remaining power and was trapped in the Tower of Mourning ever since.Even if the desperate knight completely lost himself, he still couldn't let go of his desire for his lover, so he wandered under the tower day and night, turning into a wandering corpse.

They are not in the necessary places on the road of hunting gods, and because they are located in the depths of the corrupt wilderness, and their strength is extremely strong, they have not been crusaded by hunters.

Until this moment, until the moment when the hunters step here and bring them rest.

Chapter 12: What Remains Here

After climbing over the half-collapsed wall, the hunter landed on a gravel path, raised his head and looked at the buildings on both sides that had been dilapidated for a long time.

The walls were covered by vegetation, the road collapsed, and twisted weeds grew. The walls were originally carved with exquisite pictures, but now the colors are peeled off, leaving only incomplete scenes.

For hunters who are not good at thinking, it is really impossible to imagine the original appearance of this place from the ruins in front of them.

However, he is not very concerned about this kind of problem.

At this moment, in order to complete the deal with the infusion craftsman Aike, the hunter has only one thing in mind:

That is to find the longing knight and nun and kill them.

Simple and clear, crisp and neat.

It's just that there is a small problem now, the only one, a small problem.

Hunters do not know the way here.

After all, this is not Fengrao Town, but a strange place that has never been before. Even though the structure of the town is similar, it is still quite difficult for hunters to reach their target in one go.Especially when the so-called landmark tower of mourning has actually collapsed, so we can only find a way to find the cemetery.

In short, try to reach the church first, and then see if there is a cemetery around.

After serious consideration, the hunter finally had no choice but to make a decision like this.

In the church district of this small town, hunters found a rather dense number of skeletons, which seemed to be the result of a rather dangerous battle.And after the hunter went deep into the bones, he quickly discovered that some of the bones didn't seem to be completely dead.

"click-click-"

Amid the sound of bones colliding, a skeleton slowly floated up.

One skeleton arm holds a rusty broadsword, and the other hand grabs a skull and places it on its own torso.

It should be a very scary picture, but for some reason, it makes the hunter feel strange and funny.

Well, you can see the black filthy power flowing between the bones, that is to say, it has been eroded into the bone marrow by the filthy force, so can you still maintain the ability to move after it is completely rotted?The hunter was a little surprised that this so-called filthy power could do this.

click!

The sound of bones colliding suddenly became clear, and the skeleton monster rushed forward, jumped up in mid-air very sensitively, swirled around and stabbed the big knife in its hand towards the hunter.

boom!

Then it was shattered in mid-air by a hunter's shot, turning into scattered bones and falling to the ground.

Stepping forward, one foot stepped on the skull, breaking it apart.

The black filthy power quickly dissipated, and the skeletal body, which had a tendency to gather again, trembled slightly, then fell silent.

It's gimmicky, but it's not a big threat.

Thinking like this, the hunter turned around and saw a whole street densely packed with skeleton monsters standing up, and there were at least seventy or eighty of them just by visual inspection.

"..."

Well, this number is actually quite a threat.

Turning around and running away without hesitation, the hunter quickly walked through the dilapidated streets amidst the crisp sound of countless bones colliding behind him.

Jump over the low wall, roll over the hole in the wall, and pass through the breached building.The hunter's physical strength played a role at this moment, and the skeleton army chasing behind was thrown off after a while

More than half of it.Immediately afterwards, after confirming that the number of skeleton monsters in the rear was almost reduced, the hunter suddenly turned around, and the saw knife popped out, sweeping across with a bloody ray, chopping the two skeleton monsters together with the blades in their hands. Open, the shattered bones are flying in all directions.

The strengthening range of the meat saw knife seems to be higher than expected.

Feeling the change of the weapon in his hand, the hunter stepped forward again, the blade rotated, popped out and closed again, smashing all the more than 30 skeleton monsters chasing up in a few rounds.

The rare invisible echoes gathered on the hunter at this moment, much less than he expected. It seems that the power contained in these skeletons is already quite rare. Even if they are all killed, I am afraid that there will not be many echoes to supplement them. It is an output. Unflattering thing.

Even so, the hunters are more or less willing to respect these warriors who used to guard this place.So he went back along the way he came, smashed all the wandering bones one by one, and then continued to go deep into this area.

【■■■■——】

The singing was heard again.

The only thing that can't hear the content is the melodious song that echoes in the sky.

It seems to be sung by a young girl, with a hint of sadness.

The hunter stepped over the collapsed house, walked through the road covered with weeds, followed the song step by step, and gradually approached the half-collapsed cathedral.

More skeletons were found here, but unlike the skeleton monsters encountered by hunters before, most of these skeletons were dressed in civilian clothes that were about to completely rot, and appeared to be of different sizes, and even some were small. Child's skeleton.

They were in a kneeling posture, the bones on their bodies merged with the dilapidated ground, they couldn't get up, they couldn't move, and they died in this posture.

The hunter saw some skeletons struggling, and the erosion marks left by the filthy power could still be seen on the cracked bones.

These people seem to be fixed on the ground by some kind of force when they are alive, so they can't break free after being transformed into monsters. remains.

Were all of them killed alive?

The hunter glanced over the remains and noticed more dead people with signs of struggle.

Is this a kind of kindness, or a kind of cruelty?

The hunter, who didn't intend to comment on this, took a step forward and walked forward among the countless bones.Soon, he arrived at the church at the end of the stairs, and walked into it through the collapsed gate.

The interior of the entire church is dark and dilapidated. The sculpture of the goddess of the earth has collapsed, leaving only a few traces. There are also many bones here, and all of them are completely cut and smashed.

The hunter looked at the collapsed wall on one side of the church, and saw a cemetery not far away, and a fallen tower with only half of it left.

There is your destination.

While thinking this way, the hunter was about to take a step, but stopped quickly.

This feeling……

Turning around and walking in front of the collapsed statue, the hunter felt the heat from the broken sword on his back.

He took off the giant sword, and saw that the lines on the blade were colored, but because the lines were not complete, they gradually faded away.

In this cathedral, is there some kind of residual power that arouses the inner nature of the goddess knight's weapon?

The hunter's eyes were slightly cold, and his eyes swept across the dilapidated building again.

Chapter 13: [Longing Knight Grendel] & [The Cursed Kosia]

The hunter took a step forward and stepped into the silent cemetery.

Most of the tombstone has collapsed after the scouring of time, and only a few stones remain.Dense weeds are everywhere, turning this place into a meadow almost completely.If it weren't for the existence of the tower of mourning not far away, perhaps the hunter would not be able to judge the original appearance of this place.

Gacha——

The dry vegetation cracked with the hunter's footsteps.

【■■■——】

The singing sounded again, and this time the hunter clearly identified that the singing came from the half-collapsed tower.

The hunter couldn't hear the content of the song clearly, and didn't know what kind of song he was singing. Perhaps even the singer himself had forgotten what he wanted to convey, so the only thing left was the tune that was still echoing.

Clenching the meat saw tightly in his hand, the hunter's gaze was fixed on the wandering figure below the tower.

It was a knight.

That was once a knight.

The gray armor that has lost its original color is full of cracks, cracks, and vines and weeds.

The flesh exposed from the broken armor has been completely dried up, covered with black lines, the knight's face has rotted away, leaving only the appearance of a mutilated skeleton.Just like the knight whose name was lost that the hunter once faced in Fengrao Town, this knight has long since lost himself, leaving only the remains of this instinct.However, maybe it is because the stories left by Pilgrimage Town have been sung for a long time?He has not been completely forgotten by history, and his name is still preserved.

However, what remains, it seems

It's not just about the name.

The hunter's gaze stayed on the blade in the knight's hand.

Glowing cold white light, with traces of cold air constantly oozing out, the two-meter-long thin-bladed sword, combined with the knight's body size of more than two meters and nearly three meters, looks extremely intimidating.

If I remember correctly, this seems to be a weapon once blessed by the goddess. In the lost legend, there is even a story about Grendel wielding this sword to bring winter to the entire continent.It's just that like the owner of this blade, this weapon that has gone through the years has now shown a decayed posture, and its power is far from what it used to be.

Even though he said so, the hunter was quite sure that if this cold sword fell on him, he would definitely be able to take him away easily.

He raised his head and looked towards the high tower. On the incomplete tower, the hunter saw a skeleton body on a platform, tightly locked by countless chains, and another body with only skeletons left.The saintess' clothing that once belonged to this body in chains has long since festered and dissipated, only the skeleton itself remains and cannot rest in peace.

The hunter could feel that the power contained in that mutilated body was extraordinary.

【■■■■——】

The skeleton that had lost its flesh and blood slowly opened its mouth, and the quiet, but content-less singing sounded again.

When the distance changed from far to close, the hunter realized that the singing was muddy, and the tune was clearly out of shape, barely maintaining its original shape.

At the same time as the intermittent singing sounded, the figure that had been hovering under the tower stopped, and the decayed knight raised his head, stretched out his hand unconsciously, and stretched out his hand towards another skeleton covered by chains on the tower, as if Longing for something, tremblingly stretched out his withered fingers in the direction of the other party.

Gacha——

Then, he stopped because of the voice from behind, and turned around.

The figure of the hunter stood quietly behind it.

The lantern that had been placed at the gate of the cemetery in advance emitted a faint light, and the fangs of the meat saw sharpened with the hunter's raised arm.

The melodious singing disappeared in an instant, followed by a brief moment of dead silence, and the broken knight slowly raised his sword.
