Blood of the Hunting God

A living statue?

Or, is this thing actually originally human?

Either way, it doesn't matter now.

After this thing comes up full of malicious attacks, what its nature is, and whether there are some reasons for its difficulties, are no longer important to the hunter.

After all, he had already cut this thing in half.

Click!

The sharp meat saw rebounded sharply, and returned to the original posture with the hunter's flick of his hand.

The monster that launched the surprise attack had already fallen to the ground, twitched twice, and then stopped moving.

It's quite weak, probably about the same level as the monsters roaming the corrupt field before, maybe a little stronger than the low-level filthy monsters, but at most it's just a threat to hunters who haven't been strengthened.

Well, it seems that the number seems to be about the same.

Amidst the sound of rock rubbing against each other, the hunter turned his head and looked around.

One after another, humanoid monsters slowly stood up from the ruins, as if they had been cursed and petrified. At this moment, everyone's cheeks turned in the direction of the hunter.

It seems that the music of killing has not yet reached the end of the performance.

While the hunters on this side were facing these brand-new enemies that they had never seen before, on the other side, in the dark pit, Philip stared expressionlessly at the bloody debris that had fallen in front of him. Shi, there seemed to be some kind of emotion in his pupils, so subtle that even he couldn't detect it.

"My lord bishop, the purge has been completed."

A scarred knight serving the god limped forward, knelt down in front of Philip and said.

"Continue to explore, the other party must be nearby."

Bishop Xinghui ordered indifferently, and the knight immediately began to convey his orders, and this church team of hundreds of people began to go deeper into this dark underground world.

Soon, only Philip stayed in this place.

Silently, Philip watched these shattered humanoid statues.

"……weird stuff."

Crouching down, Philip's pupils scanned these dilapidated statues.

"It was originally a human being, but after being sealed with power, did it become like this?"

"This is the power of the old gods and has nothing to do with filth. Why did the old gods take the initiative to harm humans?"

"Why do I feel familiar? Have I seen these things?"

Frowning, the expression on Philip's face was slightly distorted.

Weird sense of déjà vu.

I should have never been here before.

As a loyal believer of the ruler of the starry sky, I should have never been to this filthy land.

However, he seems to know these things.

From the vanished past with hardly any trace

memory.

Philip felt the familiarity of the things in front of him.

He has been here.

He's been here with other people.

They serve a purpose.

What are they doing.

Everyone gathers their only strength to find a way. For this reason, even if it is a taboo thing sealed by the ancient gods, as long as it can save...

Just what can be done?

Can't remember why.

It's not important anymore.

I am the most loyal believer in God.

Everything about oneself must be dedicated to the great God.

This world belongs to the breeding farm of the star ruler, and what I want to do is to offer these humans as his blood food.

So, hunter, this threat must be eradicated!

Philip, with an indifferent expression, raised his head and looked at the darkness ahead.

He could foresee that the reunion with the hunter would come soon.

Amidst the crisp sound of the mechanisms snapping together, the blood on the meat saw splattered out.

Behind the hunter, the last stone monster fell to the ground and shattered, blood-stained stones scattered all over the ground.

I can't remember how many of these things I killed.

The echoes that can be obtained are pitifully small, and the hardness is a bit scary.If it weren't for the hunter's own strength, he doubted that the meat saw might not be able to cut into the bodies of these things.

Well, anyway, let's move on.

Although I don't quite understand what kind of place I have come to, I think the church personnel behind will catch up soon.

The killing traces I left along the way can prevent those chasing soldiers from being lost.It's just that it's hard to say how long it will take them to catch up, and whether they will distract their energy to do other things in the middle.

You have to plan for the worst.

The hunter left some traces of destruction in this ruined city, and then quickly wandered around, killing the stone monsters in different places, so as to leave a trace of wandering in this area for the enemies behind. illusion.Afterwards, the hunter quickly continued to move forward, leaving this area and heading towards the dark depths.

The scarlet light floated in the air, illuminating all places, casting an ominous color on this silent world.

On the other side of the ruined city, beyond the dilapidated city wall, what appeared in front of us was a land full of cracks.

Some stone sculptures of soldiers wearing armor and holding long swords or spears began to appear here. Their combat effectiveness is obviously much stronger than those of the residents, but they are still somewhat insufficient in front of the hunters whose strength far exceeds that of humans.

Swing the knife, tear, tear, cut. "

After a few rounds, the besieging monsters were chopped down to the ground, making it impossible for them to get up again.

Go on, and go deeper into the broken wilderness illuminated by the red light. "

As it continued to deepen, it seemed that something began to pass.

In a trance, the hunter seemed to feel some kind of fury and grief, coming from the deeper part of the earth, from the darker part of the world, and he didn't know what it was.

Something that is excluded, blocked, imprisoned.

Crazy and unreasonable, howling and growling something that longs to break free.

don't know what it is...

But what is certain is that it should not be too easy to mess with.

The hunter realized that there might be something terrible in the deeper part of this underground world.

If it is a thing with a soul, can I have more weapons after killing it?

While thinking, the hunter walked to the edge of a rift valley, which was also near the end of this underground wilderness.

Lowering his head, he could see the dark red light below. These misty red lights covered the bottom of the rift, making it impossible for the hunter to determine the specific depth of the rift.

There are no other roads around.After thinking about it, the hunter threw a burning stone down, and after a while, he heard a crisp crackling sound.

Hmm, it doesn't look that deep.

Turning his head, he looked at the ruined city in the distance.The hunter doesn't know if his enemies have entered the city, but obviously, he doesn't have much choice now.Therefore, without hesitation, he directly jumped off the red light curtain and jumped into the rift valley.

chap——

Then, he pulled out Grendel's sword and pierced directly into the stone wall.

The force of falling stopped abruptly, and the original potential energy was dissipated.

Then, pull out the sword, and then fall down.

Pierce into the stone wall again, and then stop the momentum of falling.

In the situation that he was not sure what was below, the hunter tried his best to adopt a more secure method, and just moved forward step by step towards the bottom.

.

It took nearly half an hour for this continuous fall, and the hunter had no idea how far he had descended.But in the end, he still saw the ground below, and saw the dark red ground, which seemed to have something flowing and wriggling in it.

The colors in the air became more vivid than before.

Gently, fall to the ground.

The hunter looked around, then walked forward, towards the bloody road under the rift valley.

The murmuring sound seemed to become clearer.

It's as if the human soul and consciousness are hidden in these colors. After many years, they have been lingering here. Even if they completely lost themselves, they still couldn't escape, leaving only this last despair Muttering the same.

Ahead, something seemed to exist.

Continue to take steps, put away Grendel's long sword, and the hunter who replaced the cane summoned a soft spot of light, which slightly dispelled some of the overly rich red light around him, and then began to move deeper.

He kept walking, walking in a dark red color like mist.

Distance seems to have lost its meaning at this moment, there is no direction at all, and all things that can be used to guide the way no longer exist.This red world is like a maze that completely traps people in it. It just continues to extend underground, and there is no way to know where it will eventually arrive.

But the hunter knew where he was going, because he could hear the murmur, because he could feel the violent tremor, somewhere ahead, in the soundless silence, guiding his way.

Then, after walking for an indefinite amount of time, the hunter arrived at his destination.

It was a stele.

A stele standing on the red earth.

On the red soil are petrified human heads, connected to each other, fused together, all with their mouths open, as if roaring heart-piercingly.

Around the stele, there is an arm with only skeletons left supporting the stele, as if trying to tear the stele apart, supporting the huge stone stele.

The hunter stopped in front of the stele, raised his head and looked at the text within.

He should not be able to understand these ancient words, but at this moment, the words themselves seem to have some kind of power, allowing the hunter to understand them directly.

[To latecomers, no matter who you are, I hope you can see these, I hope you can continue to read]

[We ushered in failure, our painstaking efforts for many years were finally denied by the gods we once loved]

【Abominable Mother Goddess, Abominable Davedora】

【She once encouraged us to explore towards the unknown, and once guided us to see higher and farther】

[But in the end, she stopped us from exploring deeper, she denied our achievements, and rejected the light in the starry sky]

[This is an unforgivable betrayal. We have found evidence of the existence of other "gods" in the starry sky, but when we were able to call them, the mother goddess betrayed our efforts]

[We must summon those existences, the incarnation of the stars, the incarnation of the blood, the incarnation of the tentacles, the incarnation of the dream, the incarnation of the flame... There are so many strange beings, but we must remain silent Silent, unable to reveal our existence to Them]

[No, this is something we cannot admit, we have reached the final step of proving their existence, we will summon them, guide their power to this planet, and then use their power to guide Our civilization is moving towards a more glorious moment]

【We should be the expeditioners of mankind, we should be the heroes of human civilization, and the lights that lead our world to a farther place】

[But the gods denied us again and treated us in the cruelest way]

[Our capital was destroyed and sunk into the earth, we are cursed, and one day we will lose ourselves completely]

[But how can a mother hurt a child? Isn’t everything we explored achieved under the guidance and encouragement of the mother god?Unforgivable, this is an unforgivable betrayal]

【We must fulfill, we must fulfill our long-cherished wish】

【Latecomers, no matter who you are, donate your self and body and become our carrier. We will lead human civilization to the beauty it deserves, and your sacrifice will be remembered forever! 】

The strange words suddenly showed murderous intent at the last moment.
