Blood of the Hunting God

The girl repeated the hunter's words, her tone becoming more puzzled.

"It does not matter."

The hunter replied again, his hoarse tone full of affirmation.

"Then what's important?"

Abigail couldn't help but asked again.

"We...are still together...that's what matters..."

So she received the hunter's calm answer from the beginning to the end, and the girl's eyes, which seemed to be falling asleep, were completely opened, and it was hard to believe such an answer.

Hunter has taken a step forward.

He reached out, grabbed the girl's wrist, and pulled her out of this small shelter.

The little pond and the meadow disappeared, as if they had never existed.

The dark woodland approached from all directions, and the frantic prayers of the townspeople and the wailing of the victims sounded in the shadows, as if they were constantly approaching.

Abigail's body shrank, and the little girl huddled in the hunter's embrace, unable to hide her fear.

"Don't be afraid."

The hunter gently stroked the girl's head, his voice was as calm as ever.

You don't need to hide alone.

Because I am by your side.

No matter what terrible monsters exist in the darkness, I will hunt them down.

So, come with me.

This journey you and I have embarked on together is far from being able to stop.

The sharp meat saw swung out violently, strangling the darkness that was rushing.

The moonlight fell softly on the earth once again, falling on the front, on the road leading to nowhere.

Those crazy voices are still clamoring behind, chasing, unwilling to let Abigail go, not letting her leave here. "

But the hunter stood in front of these twisted figures, no darkness could pass by his side, everything was under the bright moonlight, and disappeared under the merciless serrated blade in the hunter's hand.

"No matter where you go, the madness of people remains the same."

The girl in her arms raised her head and said in a confused tone, her skin turned paler at all.

"Look for the witch, look for the symbol of evil, and look for the sacrifices that replace the sacrifices of everyone."

"Use violence to cover up fear, use blood to vent desire, and use madness to open the door."

"I identified the witch in their hearts, and I am the witch they identified. Should I choose to leave like this?"

What is the state of the girl at this moment?

It is difficult for hunters to judge.

But he doesn't need to judge, he just needs to know his choice, and that's enough.

"unimportant."

So the hunter continued to answer hoarsely.

"Isn't that... not important?"

The girl's expression became more confused.

unimportant.

You are the one who goes on this journey with me.

It is you who joined me in deciding to march in this hopeless land.

How in the past.

Where does the future go.

What's worth it and what's not.

None of these questions matter.

Time will tell, and it will be known who is on trial.

And what we have to do is only when that day comes

Let's continue our unfinished journey.

Me, and you.

I have to keep going.

"is that so?"

The girl didn't know how to answer.

The bright moonlight seemed to be close at hand.

In the flow of light and shadow, everything becomes illusory.

Consciousness seems to be in a blur.

Like a painful nightmare, the moment of awakening is ushered in at this moment.

"Hunter... sir?"

The girl opened her eyes with some difficulty, and looked at the scarred hunter who was holding her in her arms.

In the burning fire, surrounded by dilapidated ruins, the cries of some people could be heard from far or near, while the moonlight and starlight were projecting down from the huge crack above, illuminating this deep area. In ancient ruins buried underground.

what happened?

During the period of time when I was unconscious, after all...

"Ha, it seems to be just right. As expected of the hunter, my calculations are completely fine."

Alhazred's proud voice suddenly sounded from beside the two of them.

The hunter turned his head and saw the mystic who had been pierced through the chest with a sharp sword from behind, and smiled bleakly at himself.

And with back his blood-red blade, he kicked Alhazred away and appeared in front of the hunter with a gloomy expression.

"It's so fast, it's really beyond my expectations, Hunter."

And the other party's distorted voice full of awe-inspiring meaning and killing intent.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

In the burning flames, Alhazred coughed out a mouthful of blood, struggled to hold the penetrating wound on his chest and got up from the ruins, summoning a tentacle to wrap himself around and move towards the periphery.

The hunter had already stood up and stood in front of Philip, silently staring at him.

Abigail had already retreated without hesitation. Although she was a bit inconvenient due to the injuries on her body, the girl who knew the current situation still supported her body and retreated to a place outside the battlefield.

Philip thought about taking advantage of this time to attack the hunter's teammates who were in poor condition, but this idea just surfaced, his intuition told him that the hunter would attack the moment he was distracted, and at that time he It must be impossible to react in time.

How is this possible?

No... it is indeed possible.

Because I have clearly felt the power of the hunter.

This hunter, who was clearly bruised, was still standing upright, exuding a terrifying aura.

In his own memory, it is not uncommon for him to have seen those so-called powerful masters.But apart from being transformed into church executioners who have lost human consciousness, basically no one can continue to maintain the will to fight after suffering a lot of damage.

Not to mention, while maintaining the will to fight, the fighting ability has not declined at all.

Doesn't he feel tired?

Things have progressed to this point, and Philip already understands that it is very difficult to rely on conventional means to defeat the hunter in front of him.

"Perhaps, you are the biggest challenge to the Star God Church and our faith. It is the trial that we as believers must overcome before reaching the final day, blasphemer."

So Philip spoke in a low voice, and a starry sky-like light gradually began to emerge from his body.

His body began to change at this moment.

The power of the Star God spread, and began to transform the body of the Xinghui Bishop into something that was difficult for common sense to understand.

The people who are still alive have already fled far away, and the struggling knights and battle nuns have basically stopped their activities. Even some who have not lost their mobility have been plundered away because of what appeared on their bodies. The faint starlight fell down, completely losing breath.

The hunter stood motionless, just watching the changes in the enemy in front of him.

It's not that he has any special interest in watching transformation animations, but the hunter knows very well that it won't take so long for Philip's transformation to take place, and these spreading lights and shadows are just traps, designed to lure him to attack.

hum-

The raging gust of wind swept towards the surroundings.

The hunter raised his head and looked at Philip, who was completely different from the one before him.

Translucent, slender and joint-like four arms, arranged on both sides of the body covered with hard carapace.

The slender body is bent like a centipede, and Philip's upper body and head seem to be half-fused with these joints. The back of the head and back have been completely integrated with it. The enlarged eyeballs occupy almost half of the head, and the mouth is always Pulled down to the chest, it turned into a big mouth full of fangs that opened vertically.

The lower body of this thing barely maintains a human-like structure, but the skin has also grown many hard carapaces.What's worth mentioning is that all the carapaces are filled with bright colors like the starry sky, and these colors can also move by themselves, so that it seems that the body of this thing is constantly wriggling.

The hunter who didn't say a word just clenched the weapon in his hand and stared at the monster in front of him expressionlessly.

He could feel the aura of the other party becoming stronger and stronger, and feel the power of this thing becoming stronger and stronger under the influence of the Star God's power.

【blasphemer】

A cold blade emerged from the jointed limb's arm.

Philip's darkened voice rang directly in the hunter's mind.

[I am the Apostle of Dark Light, Philip, one of the three star bishops]

【The great light that dominates the starry sky is spread in the world by my power】

【Irreverent blasphemer, your life will be harvested here by me】

The moment the words fell, the monster, which had grown to about three meters in size, had already arrived in front of the hunter.

Bang!

The first sound of sword lights crisscrossed. It was the hunter who swung his cold long sword and parried the opponent's attack suddenly. His figure moved in the ruins to avoid the swing of the other two arms.

boom! ! !

Then, what the hunter saw was another sword blade with a cold blue light that was brandished by that thing.Slashing on the ground, an extremely violent light and shadow was released in an instant, sweeping a distance of hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye, completely destroying a large area of ​​ruined buildings.

This is not the end yet. The hunter who retreated a long distance suddenly saw clearly that the light and shadow that tore through the eternal city turned into tiny rays of light after the eruption, flew upwards and floated in mid-air, and then It fell down like a meteor, and directly followed the hunter's position.

boom -

The falling rays of light exploded on the ground.

While the flames were flying, the hunter's body flew out of the smoke and dust, and landed on the top of a half-collapsed tower.

Following that, Philip's distorted body fell from above him, and the moment the weapons of the two sides collided, the entire tower collapsed on the spot due to the huge impact.And more flying starlight fell one after another at a rapid speed, bombing and setting off more explosions along the way.

A sword fell, and the attacks of both sides collided in the smoke and dust.

The hunter's figure emerged from the burning fire, and then fell into the dust.

The monster shaped by the power of the star god raised the blade in his hand high, and then a more brilliant light lit up.

This underground world has become like daytime, brighter than the ground due to the gorgeous light pollution and burning flames.

For bystanders, it has become difficult to find the hunter and Philip who were fighting fiercely among the broken ruins.They could only see explosions being set off one after another, the ground and various buildings being torn apart under the power of starlight magic, and the occasional sounds of hunter weapons slashing through it.

click-

Sharp metal whips skittered through the flames.

Philip had already approached the hunter again, the slashing light blade was blocked by the giant sword, and the long whip from the other side directly wrapped around its arm, pulling the thing's body down violently. , Then the monster swooped down and rolled with the hunter.

The two figures crashed into a building together, and then crashed out from the other side of the building amidst a burst of explosions.

The hunter adjusted the angle in mid-air, landed firmly on the ground, swung the hand holding the long whip vigorously, and the whip turned back into a walking stick, supporting his body to stand up firmly.
