Blood of the Hunting God

Then it was Desma's short-barreled shotgun against the thing's body.

bang——

Amidst the heavy roar, the shot fired by the hunter against the monster brought a heavy impact, directly knocking the whole monster into the air, and hitting heavily on the rock wall on the side of the passage.

Large pieces of rubble disintegrated in all directions.

And the hunter's fingers were already clenched into fists, and he slammed into the depression made by the gun attack, directly penetrating through the rock formation and grabbing the elemental core inside.

In the sound of shattering in the next moment, the hunter directly pulled the core out of the body of the earth elemental guard, threw it to the ground, and crushed it with one foot.

The monster, which looked very strong in stature, disintegrated immediately, turning into rubble all over the place, and could no longer gather together to become a monster.

Abigail is now

After killing several shadow guards coming up from all around, seeing the hunter defeating the enemy at this time, she quickly followed up, and continued to rush toward the deeper part of the passage with the hunter, fighting non-stop along the way.

And after the two of them had moved forward for a while, and had already moved away from this passage, at an unknown time, a gentle fire light illuminated the passage again, revealing a slightly fat figure.

"This direction...they are going to the tomb of the ancestor of the royal family."

The man holding the torch was Flynn sent by King Gutasov. This short and fat man had no expression on his face, but his tone seemed somewhat emotional.

"That's not good, that's pretty bad."

"Their current task should be to sneak into the church area and find a way to destroy the magic network of the three towers."

"Running to explore the ancient secrets of the royal family is really outrageous. But outsiders are like this. After all, they don't know where these passages lead, so they can only walk around as if they lost their eyes. Hehe, What a poor and hateful little guy."

In the voice of muttering to himself, the man took steps forward, slowly approaching the direction where the hunter and Abigail left.

The warm light of the torch was projected on the man's body and on the wall beside him.

On that wall, there is no shadow of any kind.

Chapter 130 Eight: Secret

Where did I run to?

Abigail looked at the walls on both sides with some doubts.

There is quite a difference between this place and the place we passed through at the beginning. The walls in the original passage are just plain brick walls.But after she and the hunter moved forward and killed them in the direction with the largest number of monsters, the surrounding walls gradually began to change, from empty brick walls to ones painted with various gorgeous patterns.

"I always feel as if I have come to the place where some distinguished person is."

The girl spoke while wondering.

"...There's something up ahead."

The hunter opened his eyes after closing his eyes for a moment of silence, and spoke slowly.

He didn't think those murals were worth paying attention to. After all, the hunter couldn't recognize any part of the carvings on the wall that could be called gorgeous and precious. He just thought that the carvings seemed to be quite similar, except Other than that, I don't think there's anything worth paying attention to.

In contrast, the aura gradually coming from the front caught the hunter's attention even more.

There is something, at the end of this passage.

inauspicious.

Full of curses and malice.

It is by no means a weird thing that can be touched normally.

You have to be vigilant.

The hunter suspected that he and Abigail might encounter a not-so-easy battle next.

"……Be careful."

This reminds Abigail of the hunter, walking in front of her.

Those shadow monsters and earth elemental guards who came were basically invisible. These monsters may look a bit bluffing, but their strength level has not reached the level enough to threaten the two of them.Therefore, except for the hunter who was hit when he didn't understand the situation at the beginning, the two fighting along the way didn't suffer any injuries.

And along the way, as if crossing a certain boundary, the monsters that had been appearing endlessly suddenly began to decrease, and not a single one was seen after a while.It's like the direction the two of them are going to is a dangerous place that these ignorant monsters will not approach.

"Maybe this road is not the one we should choose, hmm... But in this maze-like tunnel, there seems to be no other thing that can be called a road sign."

Abigail had vaguely sensed that she and the hunter should have gone to another place, not the road to the mission area that they searched at the beginning.But even if they don't take this path, it will be difficult for the two of them to find another suitable path in the intertwined and complicated underground passages, so they can only move forward at the moment. Maybe even if they can't find the right path, they can What clues are obtained to find the target faster.

So after a moment of hesitation and thinking, Abigail took a deep breath, her expression became firm, and she and the hunter accelerated and moved forward quickly.

What lies ahead?

Abigail, holding the moonlight sword, walked forward cautiously, while the hunter holding the torch beside him observed the surrounding situation in silence.

Gradually, the surrounding murals became more solemn.

It seems to be a knight, wearing armor, kneeling before the throne.

The noble king stood up on the throne, walked down the high steps, reached the kneeling knight, and lifted him up.

Another figure in a cloak walked under the light of the starry sky and slowly arrived in front of the king.

So the king took off the crown he was wearing on his head, split it in two, and gave half of it to the messenger who came.

Then, beside the palace, a temple was built.

"This is……"

Abigail vaguely realizes that what is displayed in this picture may be the initial moment of the establishment of the Star City, the process of the king of mankind and the messenger of the master of the starry sky jointly building this kingdom in the midst of disaster.

Did the king of mankind share his power, and then the angel of the gods gave refuge to mankind?

But now in this city, the king has lost all his power, he is just a wealthy noble with a group of loyal guards.It's not even as good as the nobles, because the nobles can at least expand their influence, financial resources and power through various channels, but the royal family is under the strict restrictions of the Star God Church.As far as Abigail knows, the royal family is not only not allowed to leave the star capital, but even if they leave their own palace for too long, they will be ordered to return. It worked out.

So are these murals, these carvings, just a kind of beautification?

No, this place has not been opened for a long, long time.

I am afraid that future generations will not be able to know the situation here at all, and there is no reason to engage in such small actions in such a place where outsiders cannot see at all.And since this is a secret passage built by the royal family, the information about these things should be left to the descendants of the royal family.

So if the information here is true...

Maybe, at the very beginning, the star ruler, a god from the universe, wasn't that powerful, and couldn't exert too much influence on the ground?

Or are these gods outside the planet, if they want to exert influence on this land, they must obtain some kind of [recognition]?Only after this [recognition] is completed, can their power truly come to the earth?

If this is the case, if there is such a possibility, then is it possible to reverse this [recognition] thousands of years ago, so that the power of the starry sky master can no longer exert influence on the ground, thereby weakening and expelling it? Or even annihilation?

In those brief minutes, Abigail quickly considered all possible scenarios.

Then, the footsteps of the two suddenly stopped.

light.

In front of the passage, Hunter and Abigail saw a clear light shining on the golden wall.

How can there be light?

In this ancient passage that has been covered in dust for an unknown number of years, there is actually light.

Such an abnormal situation made both Hunter and Abigail stop quickly, and stood cautiously on the spot, not daring to act carelessly.

Among them, the hunter felt even more clearly that in the direction of the light, there was a powerful aura full of malice entrenched in it, and the almost substantive malice was so vivid that every nerve in him was trembling slightly.

"Please don't go any further, both of you."

A gentle man's voice sounded from behind the two of them at this moment.

"Who?!"

Abigail turned her head in shock, and the hunter had already raised his pistol and pointed it at the figure that appeared behind him.

He didn't hear any footsteps, and didn't feel the slightest breath.

This sudden figure made both of them quickly enter the state of fighting.

"I am not your enemy, please rest assured, I am just a guard under the command of the great King Gutasov."

The figure walked out slowly and appeared under the light of the torch.

"I appear here, just to remind you kindly from the standpoint of an ally that you are on the wrong road. This is not a road leading to the church district. This is just the tomb of the great king who died in the end."

"So, my friends, there is no need to bother the dead, is there?"

In the cadenced voice, the other party let out a weird chuckle.

Chapter 130 Nine: Calling Voice

The tomb of the great king?

The sudden appearance of the mysterious man and the inexplicable words made Abigail's vigilance immediately raised to the highest level.

The royal family of the star capital... Hasn't the corpse always been offered as a sacrifice to the master of the starry sky?Where did the tomb of the previous king come from?Moreover, the age of this place does not look like it has been opened recently. Even if the royal family is indeed doing something secretly, it is impossible to leave no traces at all.

Or……

"Is this the cemetery of the first king of Star Capital?"

Thinking of a certain possibility, Abigail asked directly.

"Oh, it seems that this lady is quite clever."

The man on the opposite side showed a slightly surprised expression, obviously he didn't expect that Abigail's first sentence would point to the core of the problem.

Speaking of which, when she was in the square, this girl showed her inhuman strength, it's better not to really think that she is just a child just because she looks petite.

The man who was thinking quickly did not show any abnormal expression on his face, just smiled and continued to speak:

"Yes, this is indeed the cemetery of the first king, the tomb of Staro, the first king who established the kingdom of stars thousands of years ago."

"As the King of Beginning, he naturally enjoys the honor that no one else can have. He can keep his body and build a tomb after death."

"It's just that this kind of behavior was somewhat eye-catching at the time, so the tomb of the original king was buried in the depths of the secret passage secretly, and no one was allowed to step into it to cause leaks. The royal family has always sacrificed to the ancient king. It can only be done in the royal palace. Speaking of which, it’s really a sin for me to do something that even a king can’t do when I stepped into this place for the first time. Anyway, please let me lead you to the real passage, my lord King Gutasf has kept a handed down map, which must be able to help everyone very well."

In very casual speech, man holds out his hand

Come, made an action to lead the way for the two.

I always feel that this person looks familiar.

Abigail stared at the other person's face. She was quite sure that this was the first time she had seen this person, and that face was definitely not the creation of some kind of disguise or spell.However, facing this person whom she should have seen for the first time, she instinctively felt a strange sense of déjà vu, as if she had already seen him somewhere.

Why is there such a strange feeling?

The unexplainable strangeness made Abigail unable to let go of her vigilance.

You have to confirm the identity of the other party, at least you must be able to come up with something like a token of proof.

The girl who was thinking like this opened her mouth and planned to say something.

But before that, she heard the hunter's voice from the side.

"...there...someone told me to go over..."

Amidst the hoarse voice, the hunter's eyes were always fixed on the faint fire in front of the passage.

"Uh, Lord Hunter, what are you talking about?"

The man who was stunned for a moment spoke subconsciously, but the hunter turned around without paying any attention, and walked directly towards the light.

Abigail was also stunned for a moment, but after realizing the hunter's decision, the girl quickly followed, and moved forward with the hunter without a word of nonsense.

The man behind stretched out his hand and made a movement to stop it, but just as he stretched out his hand, he quickly retracted it, sighed, and then followed behind the two of them helplessly.

I came here this time to assist the two as an ally. Although it is disgraceful to invade the tomb of the former king, if the other party insists, he really has no good way, and can only act with the other party.

I hope King Gutasf doesn't mind this level of indecency.

The man thinking this way followed behind the two, and the three figures gradually approached towards the light.

The hunter remained silent, but his brows were furrowed more and more.

He could hear the voice getting clearer and clearer.

A voice that seemed to be calling for him sounded from the depths of the light filled with malicious aura.

It's hard to tell if it's a man or a woman, and I don't know what it is.

But the evil aura that filled that voice was so heavy, so heavy that it almost froze his breath.
