Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf

"Huh~"

After sending everyone else away, Ailin breathed a sigh of relief.

"There's only one last battle left!"

The demon hunter looked towards the city gate.

The illusion of the guard had long disappeared, leaving only an empty doorway.

Hmm?

The demon hunter found something wrong.

"Shadia is gone, why hasn't the illusion disappeared yet?"

Ailin wondered.

But before he could think about this question carefully.

"Buzz~"

Ailin's chest suddenly trembled.

At the same time, a commotion emerged in his mind.

Hmm?

It's the Mirage!

The Mirage suddenly took the initiative to initiate a connection request.

After the demon hunter connected, anxious and urgent emotions suddenly surged in, guiding him to the direction of the fountain illusion.

"What's going on?"

Ailin wondered.

This was the third time he passed this fountain. There was nothing unusual the first two times. Why did the Mirage send a signal only after everyone had left?

What exactly did the Mirage want so badly?

With doubts, the demon hunter walked closer and closer.

"Huahua~Huahua~"

The sound of the fountain's water flow became louder and louder, and the excitement from the mirage pearl became stronger and stronger, just like a thirsty traveler in the desert saw an oasis.

When Ailin walked close to the fountain.

"Buzz~"

The mirage pearl on his chest trembled and floated up.

Ailin was surprised.

It was the first time he knew that the mirage pearl could float by itself.

The next second,

A wave of desire came from the link.

After getting Ailin's permission, the gem with colorful prisms lightly circled around his neck.

Carefully connected to the silver necklace, it floated down from Ailin's neck.

The next moment.

"Swoosh!"

A shadow flashed before the demon hunter's eyes.

At a speed that the demon hunter couldn't see clearly, the mirage pearl suddenly flew to the top of the fountain, an ordinary marble decorative sphere.

In an instant, it was tightly attached to the stone.

At the same time, the connection in Ailin's mind also weakened, until only the thickness of spider silk remained, and then it stabilized.

If it weren't for the impatient performance of the mirage pearl before, Ailin would have been crazy now.

"What on earth is this?"

The somewhat uneasy demon hunter immediately threw an appraisal at the spherical stone.

[Name: Dead Mirage Pearl]

[Type: Consumable]

[Function: Create an illusion. ]

[Note: There is a difference between Mirage Pearls and Mirage Pearls, and the biggest difference is the difference in the owner! ]

Dead Mirage Pearl?

So this is the reason why the illusion still did not disappear after Shadia left?

"That's really... really powerful."

The demon hunter looked at the vivid scene around him and couldn't help but sighed.

Wait...

Since even the ability of illusion is provided by this dead Mirage, then Shadia...

The demon hunter recalled that Shadia seemed to only show illusions and telepathy in front of him...

Perhaps...

The magical ability that Shadia lost was not just the portal, but she had lost the ability to cast spells as a spellcaster. All the abilities she showed were cast through magic props.

However...

Alin looked around.

This lifelike castle illusion has been standing here for nearly ten years, right?

Are such magic props also consumables?

Alin thought it was outrageous.

But it also made him look forward to it.

After absorbing this dead Mirage, how much will his Mirage grow?

Can his Mirage be as powerful as this dead Mirage in the future?

Directly simulate a lifelike human city, or perhaps even better, directly simulate a country?

Fantasy for a moment.

Alin glanced at the notes, snorted, and did not comment on it.

About half an hour later, the weak connection of the Mirage Pearl became thick again.

Then,

it staggered from the sphere, like a drunkard, floating from the fountain, and was caught by the demon hunter and hung around his neck.

Before he could feel the difference of the Mirage Pearl, he felt sleepy and fell into a deep sleep.

Ah?

It went on strike now?

Fortunately, Francesca gave him the magic item "Night Color" that could make him invisible.

Otherwise, without the cover of the Mirage Pearl illusion, he would be at a loss at this time and didn't know how to escape from this place.

Ailin patted his chest lightly and thanked him.

But why hasn't this illusion disappeared yet?

The demon hunter looked up.

At this moment, the fountain in front of him suddenly flickered.

"Huh!"

Ailin exclaimed.

A small orchard town suddenly appeared in his mind.

The town showed a slender white tail extending into the connection of the Mirage Pearl.

Some information came.

Aelin gained control of the illusion for a whole day, and the illusion naturally dissipated after a day.

"Live well, demon hunter!"

Shadia's voice suddenly appeared in his mind.

Aelin was stunned for a moment.

Sure enough...

The dead Mirage Pearl was left to him by Shadia.

No wonder the Mirage Pearl reacted only after she left.

The dead Mirage Pearl, Francesca's mother, Ms. Vera's... enemy?

What kind of person is Shadia?

Ailin sighed.

Putting Shadia's unsolved mystery behind him.

After a moment of hesitation, the demon hunter tried various operations in his mind, and it took him nearly half an hour to get familiar with this illusion.

Using the orchard in his mind, he can make certain changes on this basis.

Locate foreign objects in the illusion.

Subtly affect the emotions of creatures in the illusion.

"With this dead mirage, I can do more..."

"Maybe..."

The demon hunter looked up, as if through the illusion and layers of rock walls, he saw the heavily guarded garrison camp.

"Maybe I can do... more than just escape..."

...

Abandoned mine camp.

Elite guards holding spears tightly surrounded a gorgeous tent.

King Haxor of Kaedwen, as soon as he arrived at the camp, secretly summoned the leader of the Cat School, Teresius.

"You're here, Teresius."

"I've prepared a lot of silver coins, just waiting for you to take them."

Haxo patted the table proudly, motioning Teresius to take a seat.

"Tell me, how many wolf cubs did you kill? After settling this account, we'll talk about the next big deal."

Haxo knew that the demon hunters of the Cat School cared about money, so he winked at the servant beside him.

"Ding-dong~"

A large, beautifully decorated purse was gently placed on the table.

After Teresius sat down, he did not focus his eyes on the purse, but carefully observed the changes in the king's expression.

Finding that Haxo seemed to be really unaware of the strength of the demon hunters of the Wolf School who participated in the Apprentice Fighting Competition, he said:

"The commission failed."

"Failed?" The fat on Haxo's face trembled, and his thick eyebrows twisted like a caterpillar.

"What does failure mean?"

Haxo repeated in a deep voice.

"The information you gave me is wrong. There is more than one demon hunter master in the Wolf School team. I sent five elite demon hunters from the Cat School, but only three survived."

Teresius stared at Haxo.

The murderous aura was as real as substance.

The turbid dark yellow cat eyes made the King of Kaedwen twist his fat body uncomfortably.

But then he seemed to feel that this action was like being afraid of the freak in front of him.

So.

"Pa!"

Haxo slammed his right hand against the oak table.

"What do you mean! Do you think I deliberately gave you wrong information and let you die!"

"Clang!"

The guards in the tent instantly drew out their long swords with cold light and stared at Terresius.

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became solemn.

Facing the dignified sword, the demon hunter sitting on the wooden chair was as stable as a mountain, without moving at all.

After a few seconds of silence, he said:

"Fredica, Bright, Ben Hur, Bindu..."

"Fredica and Bright are dead. Although Ben Hur and Bindu returned safely, they were seriously injured..."

Returned safely, but seriously injured...

Teresias's words were incoherent and contradictory.

However, Haxo was stunned for a moment after hearing this. Looking at the expressionless Teresius, he seemed to think of something.

"Ben Hur, Bindu, Fredica..."

He murmured a few words, as if recalling.

The servant on the side came over and whispered in his ear:

"Your Majesty, Ben Hur and Bindu are the demon hunters who killed many guards in the royal city a few days ago."

"Fredica is the most famous madman in the Cat School. He likes to torture and kill. In order to support the Cat School against the Wolf School, we have dealt with a lot of troubles for him..."

Haxo waved his hand, and the servant retreated respectfully.

"Clang~"

The guards also sheathed their swords together.

Squinting his eyes, Hackso carefully looked at the leader of the Cat School in front of him.

After a few seconds, he suddenly asked:

"Are you sure Ben-Hur and Bin-Du are seriously injured and can't be cured?"

Teresius nodded expressionlessly.

Seeing this, Hackso became serious.

"Is it worth it, Master Teresius?"

"If I remember correctly, there are only a dozen demon hunters in the Cat School now, and now four demon hunters are gone..."

Teresius interrupted:

"Compared with the survival of the school, a few black sheep who only know how to ruin the reputation of the school are not worth mentioning, and..."

After a pause, Teresius sighed:

"If this continues, after the Wolf School is solved, it should be our turn!"

"How could it be..." Hackso was stunned for a moment and was about to explain.

Teresius stared into his eyes:

"Your Majesty, it is different from other high-ranking demon hunter schools..."

"We, the cat school, were born in the market and did some dirty work for the dignitaries, so there are always some rumors that will reach the ears of wild cats."

Haxo was silent for a long time before he met the uncomfortable cat pupils.

"What do you want?"

"The survival of the school, that's all." Teresius said.

"Okay, but just those four people... Not enough, after the fighting competition, your cat school can only keep three demon hunters..."

"In addition, I want all your mutation formulas and training methods."

After a moment of silence, Teresius shook his head:

"Your Majesty, you know I can't agree to this condition."

"I can give you the training method, but the formula for mutation... no."

Haxo frowned and looked at him for a few seconds, then smiled cheerfully:

"Okay, but you and your school must pay tribute to me and work for the kingdom."

"Of course." Teresius nodded.

"Pah!"

Teresius took the purse that was thrown at him.

"This is the compensation for those demon hunters. As long as you work hard for me, I can find a chance to give you a baronial title."

Teresius looked at the purse in his hand, expressionless.

In the turbid dark yellow cat pupils, there was a luster that people could not understand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." He bowed his head and bent down, performing a vassal ceremony that he had learned long ago.

"Hahaha, very good." Haxo laughed, "Teresius, now listen to my first task for you..."

"Tonight, kill the chief of the Wolf School - Soi Henrietta!"

...

Before Teresius responded, there was a sudden noise outside the tent.

"What's going on?"

Haxo frowned.

Immediately, a guard came out of the tent to ask.

After a while, the guard came back and whispered a few words to the king with an embarrassed look on his face.

"What!"

"Three more teams of soldiers died!"

Haxo slammed the table and cursed:

"What is Jaquel doing? Didn't he tell me that those monsters were exhausted? What's the situation now?"

The guard was speechless.

On one side was his immediate superior, and on the other side was his immediate superior's superior.

He could only tremble and explain:

"Your Majesty, I just asked, these rock trolls have indeed been exhausted for four consecutive days."

"It's just that in the attack just now, those monsters were like being cast a spell, and suddenly they became very fierce. The soldiers in front of them who were holding the unbreakable shields couldn't hold on for a while, and their defense line was destroyed..."

Haxo's face became even uglier.

"So... they even lost the unbreakable shield?"

The guard's words paused.

"Wait..." Haxo's eyes rolled, "You said those rock trolls suddenly became very fierce?"

The guard didn't know why the king asked again. After pausing for two seconds, he nodded:

"That's what Deputy Captain Jaquel, who just came back from the front line, said."

Haxo nodded and suddenly calmed down:

"Okay, this matter ends here. You go down and ask Grand Master Soi to deal with these monsters."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The guard was about to leave the tent.

"Wait..." Haxo called to the knight who had already walked out of the tent.

The guard turned around.

"Pay attention to see if the other sorceress follows the Grand Master down and come back to report to me."

After the guards left the tent, Haxo looked at Teresius again:

"My first task for you is to find an opportunity to kill Grand Master Soi while he is dealing with those monsters."

After a pause, he continued:

"If that sorceress goes down with him, you can kill her again..."

"I can allow your cat school to keep three more people, and in a month, I will knight you..."

After listening to Teresius, the turbid cat pupils were dark and unpredictable.

After a long while, a hoarse voice sounded:

"As you wish."

"My king."
