Blood of the Hunting God

Pushing open the door, the hunter immediately found the girl huddled in the corner.

In the dark night, in the dilapidated house without any candlelight, Abigail huddled in the corner silently.

It seemed, indeed, that the girl's mood was a little depressed at the moment.

"Can you leave me alone and just leave me alone."

Abigail's muffled voice sounded from the darkness.

This kind of tone of voice... I've never heard it from this girl before...

The hunter felt a little surprised.

Something has indeed changed in the little girl.

The hunter has heard from Andre that Abigail, who was fatally injured at the time, showed a power that had never been shown before after being injured by the monster that reunited with the deformed part cut off from the god monster. , within a few moves, he exploded and killed that thing.

What exactly was that unprecedented power, Andre didn't observe carefully, his instinct forced him to avoid his sight.But even so, he felt indescribable palpitations, and experienced an unprecedented sense of strangeness.

【The aura at that time, how should I put it... I don't think it is a power that can make people feel at ease...】

【That is by no means... a power that can make people feel at ease, Mr. Hunter, you'd better pay more attention to Abby's situation, I think something bad may have happened to her】

At that time, Andre said to the hunter very seriously.

Although even if the old forging master didn't say so, the hunter would definitely confirm the situation on Abigail's side after the matter was over.

And obviously, although it was only a few words, the hunter has already noticed that Abigail's current state is indeed a bit wrong.

tread--

Without hesitation, the hunter took a step and walked towards the girl in front of him.

"That's why I told you to leave me alone... Ah, Mister Hunter?"

Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching her, Abigail raised her head and spoke impatiently, only to find out that it was a hunter.So the expression on the little girl's face changed immediately, she stood up all of a sudden, and she seemed a little at a loss.

It seems that the state is quite wrong.

The hunter stepped directly in front of the girl.

"Mr. Hunter...didn't you go to celebrate with everyone?"

The girl who lowered her head asked in a low voice at this moment.

"Well... I'll accompany you..."

The hunter shook his head and said to Abigail in a hoarse voice.

"Well, no need, I'm fine, Mr. Hunter is going to celebrate the victory with other hunters

. "

The girl who spoke softly did not raise her head to meet the hunter's gaze, but spoke with a somewhat stubborn voice.

"Well... I'll accompany you..."

The hunter is quite used to this kind of habitual bravado of girls, or in other words, this kind of behavior is what the girls in his memory should look like.

Without further arguing, the hunter sat directly beside Abigail, took her little hand and made the girl sit down with her, and the shoulders of the two leaned together like this, in this dark cabin Sitting side by side.

The silent, continuous night.

It seems that the laughter of the hunters can be heard in the distance.

The noisy sound did not affect the tranquility of this place at all, but it seemed more profound.

"Mr. Disma has been buried in the courtyard."

Abigail said softly at this moment.

"Um……"

The hunter responded softly.

"There are still 65 people left in the hunting god team of 17 people, and a total of 48 people died on the road, just to crusade against an old god..."

Abigail raised her head in the darkness, and there seemed to be no emotion in her voice.

"..."

The hunter was silent, just staring at the girl beside him, and continued listening to her.

"It was the same when I was in the town before. Many people died. People I knew and people I didn't know just disappeared like this and never reappeared."

"When I was in the logistics team, Auntie Aike had a weird personality, but she still took care of me. Brother Tommy was a very serious and responsible person. He even told me some tips on forging and strengthening. Brother Lodiken was a little stuttering and unresponsive. Slow, but he's also a good guy."

"They are all dead and will not come back. Like Uncle Disma, who died in this battle."

"If we continue to fight and continue on this road, we will definitely... know more people, right?"

Turning her head, Abigail looked at the hunter with a gloomy expression, and continued to speak softly.

"We'll definitely, we'll meet lots and lots of people."

"Those who stood up to protect their own families, to protect more people, and to the survival of the entire human civilization."

"Those who will never back down in the face of dangerous and difficult battles, and fight to the last moment even if they risk their lives."

"We'll get to know people who are very, very good, worthy of respect, and worthy of happiness."

"They will believe in our ability, believe in the path we have taken, fight side by side with us, and go all out with us."

"Then, they're going to die, many of them are going to die...maybe even the vast majority of them are going to die..."

"Obviously they are all very good people, obviously they are all good people worthy of a happy life, but they turned out to be like Uncle Disma, but like those in the team who didn't make it to the end. died on the way..."

"It's even possible that Mr. Hunter will die, and I will die too. Before we win, we may fall, and there may be no way... Persevere until the end..."

The girl's small body trembled slightly at this moment.

The silent hunter turned around, stretched out his hand, and gently hugged the girl in his arms.

Putting her cheek against the hunter's arms, Abigail was silent for a moment, and then spoke softly again.

"Thinking like this...it must be a very bad boy..."

"But, I'm thinking, what if we stop, don't fight, don't keep going?"

Raising her head, Abigail stared at the hunter earnestly, watching the calm eyes of the hunter looking at each other.

"If we stop here, in this forest."

"We would no longer know the good people and watch them die without being able to do anything about it."

"Mr. Hunter will not be injured, he will not suffer the pain of death again and again, and he will not worry about the danger of the broken lantern."

"Thinking like this... must be a betrayal of the will of those who died with us along the way... But, if we do this, Mister Hunter, we won't have to endure pain anymore, right? "

"So... Mister Hunter, what do you... think?"

He reached out and grabbed the hunter's sleeve tightly.

With a trembling voice, Abigail asked him a question like this.

Chapter 190 Nine: The Road Ahead Together

Can clearly feel the panic and pain in Abigail's voice.

During this journey that lasted for more than a month, the girl witnessed sacrifices again and again, witnessed the death of her companions again and again, felt countless cruelty and darkness, and even she almost became one of the victims. member.

After all, he was just a 12-year-old kid.

The hunter realized that Abigail was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

"..."

At this time, what should I say?

Staring at the girl in front of her, she thrust her whole body into her arms, trembling slightly.

The hunter who was silent felt an unprecedented sense of heaviness.

stop?

It was impossible to stop.

After they took this step, there is no possibility of this road stopping.

Because, today, they are not just fighting and acting for themselves.

Those who believed in their companions, those who fought to the death with them, those who gave their lives for this road, and those who are still alive.

The trust and blood of these people have been firmly branded on the hunter, and it has made it impossible for him to stop.However, even without the followers of these people, it is still impossible for the hunter not to do something after seeing such a cruel and dark world, just to keep on the sidelines.

Perhaps, this is the so-called sense of mission.

"..."

Still, the hunter, who didn't know what to say, exerted a little more force, and hugged the girl in his arms tightly.

There seems to be traces of moisture on the clothes, are you crying?

Is this kind of journey really too difficult for Abigail, who is essentially just a child?

The hunter couldn't help but think of the children in the Starry Sky Church who were made into blood fat bags, and the children who passed away in the house of sustenance.

Such a cruel thing, such a miserable fate, without distinguishing anyone, just happened to them like this.

It's because I can't accept such a thing that I choose to fight, isn't it?

So, is it time to stop because so many people have died?

Because I may also be sacrificed in this battle, should I stop?

impossible.

Impossible.

And the matter has reached this point, if it really stops, it will cause even worse consequences.Those people who thought they had finally seen hope and chose to rise up to fight, if there were no top powerhouses like hunters to lead them at the forefront, they would only be slaughtered easily, and the order after that would inevitably fall into a worse, even directly Step into a dead end situation.

Therefore, there is no possibility of stopping.

It was like a car speeding down a steep slope near a cliff with its brakes removed. It would either smash the stones in front of it, or be crushed to pieces.In addition, there is no third way to go.

This is a fact, just a fact.

"Sorry……"

The hunter spoke softly to the girl.

"Sure enough... can't you..."

The girl's voice became dim at this moment.

"Stop here... the situation will only... get worse..."

The hunter spoke in a low voice, and stretched out his hand to gently stroke the girl's long hair.

Soft, golden hair.

It reminded the hunter a little of the vanished goddess, with the same brilliant golden hair.

The Earth Goddess named Vineyard is no more.

The girl named Abigail is still in his arms.

I can't... Let this little girl usher in the end of that goddess.

"I will protect you……"

The hunter said to the girl seriously at this moment.

"Maybe... a lot of people will die..."

"But... I will end... all of this..."

"I will protect you...with you...to the end..."

I am probably really not good at talking.

For this, the hunter himself was very helpless.

But if it was Abigail, he would definitely understand what he meant.
