Blood of the Hunting God

But it's just this kind of thing, who is afraid of anyone, I'll show you the road that you weak chicken can't finish.

"Humph!"

The sneering bounty hunter just disappeared in front of the Old God's Garden, into a sea of ​​white flowers.

White, spreading flowers.

Covered from under the ground, it completely covered the entire Old God's Garden, and there were even many such flowers blooming in the Forest of Blessings.

It seems that because the hunter obtained the core of the mist and obtained the ownership of this area, those white flowers spread and covered the entire Blessed Forest.

They bloom in the soil, bloom on the branches, and even float in the sky, scattering the deep light to the surroundings, illuminating the forest and the small town under the dark night, bringing some dreamlike colors.

Even after the hunter took back the lantern, the flowers were still blooming without any sign of shrinking.

Alhazred guessed that these flowers themselves were an extension of the hunter's power, and it was a manifestation of a similar domain after the power that the hunter once had but was gradually regained for unknown reasons.

Within the area covered by these flowers, any so-called divine power cannot be released.Just like the distorted monster that was born from the corpse of the goddess of the earth before, it can move between the earth in an unlimited amount of time, a terrifying power that hunters can't resist at all, in the area covered by these white flowers,

It was directly restricted and became completely unable to display it.

And this also means that even if the minions of those star gods have a way to forcibly pass through the outer sealing fog, they are likely to lose their ability to move in the sea of ​​flowers.Because one of the powers of the ruler of the starry sky is to completely control those individuals who have been reduced to tentacles. After losing the direct connection with the ruler of the starry sky, the controlled person will lose the ability to act and become an empty shell that is no different from a corpse.

"With this kind of power, there is no need to worry about being approached by those things. The goddess of the earth and the goddess knights... They used their lives as the price to build such a monster for those who can defeat them. A safe area, and your strength, Hunter, further ensures that this area will not be hit. This means that even if our operations cannot be carried out smoothly in the future, as long as this forest does not fall, we must It can preserve the vitality and preserve a certain number of human beings, so that today's human civilization will not fall into a situation of complete extinction."

As a scholar, Alhazred quickly came to such a conclusion after confirming the situation.

"It's equivalent to becoming a hunter's territory, and the hunter is equivalent to becoming the lord of this place. Well, then we are considered the leaders of this land?"

At night, among the dozen or so people who were still alive, Karnis said this in a joking tone.

"In this case, the law is a big problem. If you want a good social atmosphere, you must formulate strict and fair laws and implement them well."

The eyes were repaired by the healing technique, but William, who had to continue to live blindfolded for more than a week because the new eyes were too fragile, said seriously while gently stroking the head of the hound Fergus sitting beside him.

"That's right, the foundation of a country is the law, and only the law can guarantee the normal operation of a country."

Baldwin, who was also healed and a little weak, also spoke in agreement.

"But since we want to establish a country, then there must be a name or something? Well, it's called the Hunter Kingdom?"

Stickley said while drinking the tea prepared by Elsaac for everyone.

"It sounds too common. Isn't a hunter called a savior? Just call it a savior."

Karnis's eyes lit up, and he immediately spoke.

"Do you think it's smooth for you to get the name? Well, if you want me to say, just call it the Kingdom of God."

"Come on, if you want to say that, you might as well call it Little Sister Guo. Anyway, I think that girl Abigail is very interesting to hunters. Maybe she will force her to--"

"What nonsense are you talking about? He is just a child, okay? If you dare to say such nonsense, believe it or not, I will arrest you?"

The voices of the hunters were full of laughter at this moment.

Mingming had just survived the life-and-death fight.

Obviously just bid farewell to my friends, comrades-in-arms, and people I knew forever, and buried them.

Now they are here laughing loudly, having fun, relaxing as if nothing happened.

Perhaps, for this world where sacrifice and death are just the norm, this kind of thing is really normal.Only by facing life with such an attitude can the living people not be overwhelmed by the separation again and again, and can continue to live.

Then...how did I think...?

"It's noisy."

Abigail, who was huddled in the hut alone, listened to the laughter of the hunters, lowered her head and muttered to herself.

These hunters who keep laughing all day and night are really annoying.

I really want to kill them all...

Hey……

Blinked and blinked, shaking his head.

My mind seemed to be a little blank for a moment, and I had a strange feeling that I didn't know what I was thinking, what I was thinking about.

Did something happen to you?

Abigail showed a somewhat confused expression at this moment.

It seems to have forgotten something.

When underground, when facing that dark body.

It seems that something happened at that time.

Something that I can't remember now, something very bad.

Even if you have forgotten the content, but just remember the feeling, you will feel chills all over your body, which makes people feel very bad.

I……

What am I...

what's wrong with me……

The little girl curled up in the darkness.

Chapter 190: The Hunter's Lantern

While the hunters were relaxing and chatting and laughing with each other, on the other side, in a temporary blacksmith shop not far away, the hunter was squatting on the ground, frowning and looking at the tattered lantern in front of him.

"It has been damaged very seriously. I'm afraid it may fall apart if you touch it casually."

Andre, who was standing side by side with the hunter, shook his head and said.

"Um……"

Nodding slightly, the hunter deeply agrees with this.

In the previous process of fighting the god-flesh monster, the dream lantern that the hunter relied on for his resurrection was discovered and destroyed by the monster, and it became what it is today.

A horribly disfigured appearance.

Basically, it can be said that as long as it suffers even a little bit of damage, the lantern may directly shatter and collapse.

And once this kind of thing happens, it means that the hunter will have no way to return to this world after the next death.

Yes.

Once the lantern is broken.

Hunters can no longer return to this world after death.

At that moment, at the moment when the god monster almost destroyed the lantern, the hunter knew this clearly.

Perhaps he will not really die because of this, but will wake up in an unknown place, or return again after a long sleep.However, at that time, he would have no way to return to this world. This lantern is like an anchor point, fixing the existence of the hunter here. Only if the lantern continues to exist, can the hunter establish a stable relationship with this world. connection between.

This is something that must be taken seriously.

Although there is no basis for it, the hunter has a feeling that if he really died when the lantern was broken, the next time he returns to this world, he will go there at least hundreds of years or even longer .

And obviously, at that time, the human civilization in this dark world basically has no possibility of sustaining.

In fact, even now, broken lanterns are starting to cause problems for hunters.You must know that in the later stages of fighting the gods and monsters, every time the hunter dies, it will take about 1 minute or even longer to be resurrected, instead of being able to complete the resurrection within a few seconds after death as before.

The damage to the lantern has already begun to affect the hunter's connection with the world.

"I can try to add a layer of metal protection to the outside of this lantern, add a layer of brackets to it, and fill some soft structures in the middle. Well, it's probably equivalent to making a second lantern outside this lantern, replacing the original It’s a case where your lantern is wrapped in.”

After studying the lantern carefully, Andre gave this answer.

"it is good……"

The hunter nodded slightly, and had no objection to this plan.

"However, even so, I'm afraid this thing won't be able to withstand any more blows. To be honest, it's better to leave this thing in the Garden of the Old Gods. Anyway, Alhazred has inspected that fog core Now, as long as the lantern is placed inside, there is absolutely no need to worry about any enemy invading and destroying it."

After a little hesitation, Andre tried to put forward other opinions.

"no……"

But for this idea, the hunter rejected it very simply.

Indeed, if the lantern is left behind, the hunter's safety can be absolutely guaranteed.However, for the next battle, this will have a considerable adverse effect.

Whether it is the old gods or the three star gods, they are all enemies that must be eliminated for today's hunters.Obviously, according to the intensity of the crusade against the Goddess of the Earth, only hunters can stand on the final battlefield to face the enemy. It is meaningless for other strong human beings to come, even if it is a hunter It is also difficult for one's own strength to gain an advantage over god-level enemies in a head-to-head battle.

Therefore, he must personally step into one battlefield after another, and step into the places where the gods are.

Whether it's the [Star City] where the Master of the Starry Sky is located, or the [Sea of ​​Alienation] that reproduces the Mother Goddess, or the [Polluted Desert] of the Twin Gods, and the [Dream City] where the Master of Dreams is entrenched, and the land behind the mountains. The [Scarlet Blood Domain] under the rule of the God of War, the [Fog Capital] under the control of the most mysterious Mist Master, and the [Helios Seat] where the Father God, which symbolizes the sun and the stars, is located, which could not be reached until the last moment.

Hunters must step into these places in person.

And obviously, it is impossible for him to enter it alone, without the assistance of strong human beings such as hunters, it is impossible for hunters to reach these abyss places alone.At this point, the hunter is well aware and will not deny it.

Then, when the hunting god's team set off and went deep into the dangerous area, if the hunter died because of a powerful enemy.Once the lantern is not nearby, it will take a very long time for the resurrected hunter to return to the battlefield. For a dangerous battlefield where the situation is changing rapidly, this long-term lack of top-level combat power is extremely fatal. As a hunter who has experienced many Veteran in battle, the Hunter could not have allowed this to happen.

Therefore, he must carry the lantern.

Even if this will bring great danger to the hunter himself.

Even if this will bring great hidden dangers to the hunting god team's next actions.

One must know that those puppets of the Star God Church have obviously used various methods to understand the significance of the hunter's lantern.

In the next battle, those who have completely dedicated themselves to that ugly monster that feeds on human flesh and blood will inevitably attack the hunter's lantern constantly in the battle, and try their best to destroy it.

But even so, they have no better choice.

No matter what hardships and obstacles await the hunter and those warriors who are still willing to walk with him, they have no possibility of stopping, just like this dilapidated lamp that still has to be

Like a lantern brought into a dangerous zone, it is necessary to continue walking.

"Then, I will try my best to make the protection of this lantern stronger. Well, maybe I can also consider making a fake lantern with a similar style to confuse the view. In short, although there is no alternative, there is always a way. "

Andre, who sighed, obviously realized the various problems he had to face, moved his shoulders and started to work.

"Thanks for your hard work……"

The hunter spoke sincerely to the old forging master.

"We are all comrades in arms who have gone through life and death together, so there is no need to say things that are too outlandish, um, and, um..."

"...?"

Andre, who showed a hearty smile, seemed to remember something later, and wanted to say something to the hunter, but after hesitating for a while, he closed his mouth again.This made the hunter couldn't help showing a somewhat puzzled expression, and stopped his steps to leave and looked at the forging master.

"It's nothing... Abigail may not be in a good condition. You should go and see her as soon as possible. I suspect that her spirit was stimulated during that battle."

In the end, Andre just shook his head and said so.

"……Um."

Not sure if the old forging master had something to say, the hunter turned his head and left in three steps, and walked towards the abandoned house where Abigail was temporarily staying.

And Andre watched the hunter leave just like that, and after confirming that the hunter had completely disappeared, he lowered his head and looked at his arm that had been cut off and then reattached.

As far as the magically joined arm is concerned, there is no scar at all, and there is no change in the nerve response from before it was cut off.Although high-level therapists can do this, it is obviously beyond the reach of human beings to complete this level of treatment in an instant.

At that moment, the [Fate Reconstruction] spell that Alhazred cast... no, it wasn't cast by the mystic scholar, but cast by the "thing" that occupied him.

The other party is undoubtedly an inhuman being. Although it is not comparable to the old gods and star gods, it is by no means a high-ranking existence that humans can easily contact.

That "thing" absolutely has no human values, which can be seen from the fact that he doesn't even bother to save Disma.

However, He devoted himself to saving himself.

He also said he was...

"A blood descendant of the old god?"

Andre clenched his fist slightly.

Perhaps, in himself, there are some secrets?
