Blood of the Hunting God

Trial by burning.

Is that Philip planning to put Abigail on trial in the name of a witch?

The hunter was slightly silent. He suddenly thought of what Alhazred told him after the decisive battle against the Goddess of the Earth, about the extraordinary strength Abigail displayed when she was seriously injured on the brink of death.

If the other party really intends to do that, maybe Abby can...

An idea floated up in his heart, but was immediately rejected by the hunter.

He won't do that.

Hunter would not accept such a thing, he would never let Abigail suffer the pain of burning at the stake.

And, for some reason, the hunter had a hunch.

If Abigail is really allowed to use that extraordinary power.

If that girl is really allowed to develop like this.

Maybe in the end, it wasn't Abigail but something else.

And when things go that far...they lose...

This world... will be completely lost, and there is no possibility of a comeback.

Such a premonition clearly appeared in the spirit of the hunter.

Chapter 87: All parties decide

The news that the Star God Church will carry out the Witch Trial quickly spread in the star capital.

The knights serving the gods and the battle nuns stopped the martial law and search of the whole city, and quickly gathered together. They set up a burning frame on a large square at the junction of the civilian area and the noble area, and arranged for the major nobles and churches to The spectator seats of the regiment members, and the civilians in the city were also ordered to arrive at the square at 5 pm when the moon was about to set to watch the burning, otherwise they would be severely punished.

Judge the blasphemous witch, burn her at the stake, and offer her cleansed remains to the stars.

This is what the Star God Church said about it.

They are advocating their own orthodoxy and superiority.

And Abigail, who has been imprisoned by them, does not know what kind of torture she is enduring now.

"There is no doubt that this is a trap, a bait to lure you, Mr. Hunter, to the square."

Flynn, who was standing not far away, said calmly.

"..."

The hunter didn't answer, but just sat quietly on the side of the room, the meat saw in his hand was never put down from the beginning to the end.

"I know this sentence is not very pleasant, Your Excellency Hunter."

Fulin took a step forward, bowed his head respectfully and said.

"But you are the only one capable of fighting that god, aren't you?"

"If you want to save this world, you can only do it by relying on your strength. Only you can change all these tragedies."

"Now their purpose is to let you show up. They will inevitably lay a lot of traps, and they will set up a dangerous situation that is enough to kill you completely. Then, are you sure that girl is really so important, so important that you need to give up Those who suffered?"

In the words that came out slowly, Fulin's expression was always respectful.

The hunter just kept silent about this, just sat there without saying a word.

"No matter what decision you plan to make, we will support you and help you. After all, we are your most loyal allies. After making a decision, you can just notify us, honorable hunter."

Bending down, he saluted the hunter respectfully, and then Fulin slowly stepped back and left the room.

Everything around returned to silence at this moment.

In the dim room, only the hunter was left.

Abigail...

The hunter closed his eyes, then stood up slowly.

If I hadn't chosen to come here with Fulin to meet that King Gutasf, to meet this so-called [ally that can be won]...

If I could have imagined that Abigail would be chosen by Philip as the target to attack...

There is no if in this matter.

What has happened, there will be nothing if at all.

It's like those people who I met along the way, who have walked side by side, and are no longer by my side now.Things that are already irreversible, no matter how many ifs are assumed, are all meaningless.

So the only thing that needs to be concerned now is the things that can be redeemed.

They're going to try Abigail, so instead of killing her right away, they're going to make sure she lives until the trial.

Maybe they will hurt her badly, but now my blood has a unique healing ability, so as long as she is still alive, I have a chance to rescue her and let her return to my side.

So the key to everything is tomorrow.

While thinking, his fingers suddenly felt the warm licking sensation.

The hunter opened his eyes, and what he saw was the hunting dog sitting in front of him, and William walking out from beside him.

"Are you ready? We're going to make a big fuss tomorrow."

Grinning, the rough-looking William smiled and said.

"Um……"

hunter gently

Nodding, there is a sharpness in his eyes.

There was no need for hesitation, and a decision could be made immediately on the spot, and the decision to save lives was made just like that.The only thing left to consider is the means and methods, and the others are not important anymore.

At the same time that the hunter made a decision, in the secret room under the palace, the ugly man had already reported to the king in the shadows.

"Is it at this time?"

In the voice of muttering to himself, King Gutasov stretched out his still intact fingers and gently rubbed the sides of his eyes.

"My king, I'm afraid we don't have the power to restrain that hunter."

Fulin replied respectfully, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.

"It's normal for such a powerful force to be uncontrollable, but we can't just let him fall into the trap like this."

In the deep voice, the man in the shadows thought for a while and made a decision.

"Arrange Princess Windersa to participate in the trial conference. Although I am a [sinner], the princess is not subject to restrictions and can be arranged through her entourage."

"I don't ask about the specific method. There is only one goal, which is to find an opportunity to kill the girl named Abigail, so that the hunter realizes that there is nothing he can do and gives up his actions."

"Let's start cleanly. The hunter is the force we need to rely on most now. We can't let him see the problem."

Saying this, Gutasov waved his hand, indicating that Flynn could act.

"Your will."

For this, Flynn bowed slightly to salute, then left and started to act.

While the "allies" on this side were making decisions, in a hidden area of ​​the civilian area, Alhazred stared at the propaganda leaflet in his hand with an ugly expression.

To have captured Abigail, and to conduct a witch trial on that child?

The mystic scholar who clearly knew that there was some kind of hidden power in Abigail frowned.

The hunter would definitely take action, he couldn't help this kind of thing.

Moreover, the problem with Abigail should be triggered by near-death.That is to say, if the trial of the witch really goes on, and it really develops to the point where she is about to die, I am afraid that the hidden power in her body will be awakened in an instant, and the situation at that time may be a catastrophe that will affect the entire city. .

"It's really troublesome. This group of Star God Cultists who are fed up, whoever is caught is not good enough to catch her."

Amidst the sound of sighing, the mystic scholar looked at Karnis, who was lying on the sofa and sleeping soundly not far away.

This guy helped him deal with the various chemicals and magic potions he got from the business group before, and now he is too sleepy to rest. Alhazred himself is fine, after all, there is the dark existence of the contract to give him strength.

The original bombing plan now seems to have to be changed.

The fanatics of these churches must not be allowed to really lead the situation to that situation.

Well, in this case, you have to be more careful in choosing your next target...

Chapter 88: Witch Trial

The light, from weak to gradually bright.

The girl raised her head, opened her eyes with some difficulty, and saw the moonlight shining in from the window.

Judgment day has arrived.

The bells of the cathedral rang slowly, dull and constantly echoing, as if carrying an undeniable holiness and greatness, just like this slowly ringing.

Several mid-level priests walked slowly together with their attendants, each step covered exactly the same distance, and there was no slight difference between the moment when each step was raised and the moment when it fell, as if they were not living people at all, but according to the schedule The program works like a machine.

No, they are indeed not alive.

After being soaked in the power of the Star God, these so-called priests and nuns are nothing but puppets who fanatically believe in the gods.Their ego, as early as the moment they chose to embrace the master of the starry sky, no longer existed.

And the human beings in this world have spent thousands of years under the rule of such gods and under the control of such puppets.

The technology, knowledge and honor of the past are completely forgotten, leaving only the lingering life and the ever-growing darkness.

Up to now, at this moment, the darkness has finally touched him, wanting to completely engulf him.

Abigail seemed to be able to see the face emerging from the darkness, the deformed and twisted monster, and the evil thing enshrined as life slowly falling, manipulating the puppets who no longer had self-awareness, Just like this, he approached her step by step, salivating at her, wanting to eat her completely, chew her into pieces and swallow her into the stomach.

Is this hallucination?

It should be something that is about to happen, right?

After that trial.

After facing the trial as a witch herself.

Under the watchful eyes of the people of the whole city, under the judgment under the light of the church, after facing the judgment of death as an evil witch, this is the next step.

【Witch! 】

He heard a faint voice coming from afar.

【Witch!Witch! ! ! 】

Roars full of hatred sounded one after another.

Are those civilians shouting?

still from

Are people somewhere in my memory shouting something?

witch.

Find the witch.

Find the spokesperson of satan, judge her, and execute her.

Burn the witch.

Stone the witch to death.

Use all means to destroy the witch.

Everyone is shouting like this, everyone is looking forward to it.

They are eager to see the blood flow out, as if the death of the witch can take away the sins, the sins of the witch, and the sins of their judges, so that they can usher in the qualifications to go to heaven, just like those who bought Indulgences are like the rich absolve themselves of original sin.

sin……

What kind of crime is it...

The memory seems to have betrayed him, unwilling to hand over the truth easily, just blindly hiding it.

She couldn't find the way back in the darkness, she could only see more and more flames surrounding herself.

Where are you now?

Where am I?

Mr. Hunter, where are you?Please, find me, get me back, I don't want to... stay in this darkness...
