Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf

[…The “Demon Spirit” will appear in 27 seconds after the intersection of the celestial spheres. Please be prepared! ]

Watching the countdown slowly return to zero, the demon hunter thought for a moment and took out two pieces of black cloth from his chest.

This is the magic suit Night Color given by Francesca.

After wearing the mask, you can be invisible at night.

The headscarf can eliminate the sound of breathing, footsteps and even heartbeats.

It has been a long time since he used it, and he forgot that he still had this stealth artifact.

Generally speaking.

When the intersection of the celestial spheres summons monsters, there will always be a period of coma and dizziness that is not short.

Therefore, the demon hunter has the advantage of starting.

This is also the reason why he dares to complete the hunting mission and summon the intersection of the celestial spheres at this time.

Ailin is no longer the demon hunter apprentice who just crossed over.

With this advantage, if the summoned monster is the same level as the Water Ghost King and the Giant Swamp Fairy.

He can completely use [Demon Hunting], a few consecutive swords, and kill it instantly after accumulating progress.

But the demon spirit will become virtual after all.

He didn't know whether the monsters summoned by the demon spirits in the world they were tracking would be unconscious.

Wearing this set of equipment should be foolproof... right?

The demon hunter tightened his mask.

Suddenly.

The surroundings were so quiet that only the "beep~beep~" of the bonfire burning dead branches and the "rustling" sound of the bleak night wind blowing the grass.

Even the few demon spirits that were chasing them suddenly stagnated, as if they had suddenly lost their target.

After a few seconds, they floated towards the demon hunter again.

But at this time, Aylin had no time to care about them.

...4, 3, 2, 1

As the countdown ended, the demon hunter's vision suddenly turned red.

It was as if the eyes were soaked in blood.

It was particularly terrifying.

[Warning! Warning! Warning]

[Detected the fluctuation of the intersection of the celestial spheres! Detected the fluctuation of the intersection of the celestial spheres! ]

"Buzz~"

The wolf emblem was beating violently, but Aylin's ears could not hear any sound.

None of these anomalies caused any fluctuations in the demon hunter's mood.

The celestial spheres meet, an old acquaintance!

Ailin squatted slightly, preparing for the impact...

He then scanned the abnormal places with the firelight, hoping to find the place where the monster came out as soon as possible.

The next second.

Under the swaying campfire.

A black hole that was so deep and dark that it seemed to absorb all the light appeared about ten meters to the right of the demon hunter.

As soon as the black hole appeared.

Ailin quickly turned to the right, took three steps in a row, and squatted silently with lightning speed, transferring magic power to the soil less than one meter away from the black hole.

Aden Seal Magic Trap.

"Pop——"

A light sound.

It was like a soap bubble being popped by the ear.

"This movement seems a little small..." The thought flashed through his mind, and the demon hunter rolled forward two times without hesitation, staring vigilantly at the black hole where the air around him was distorted and fluctuating.

Then he stretched his right hand back, just about to pull out Elsa.

But he didn't expect that at this moment...

Behind the demon hunter, the position next to Elsa suddenly trembled slightly.

That was the position of the holy sword Balmer.

The demon hunter was startled.

At this moment.

The black hole changed again...

A thumb-sized green light spot was... spit out...

Hmm?

Why is it so small?

The demon hunter paused as he held Balmer's hand, and his azure cat eyes widened.

Just as he was thinking quickly in his mind how to fight such a small monster...

The next second.

"Hiss--"

Amid the strange, sharp, and creepy snake hissing, the green light spot suddenly expanded.

...

"Da Da Da~"

The frequency of the horse's hooves became lower and lower, but the warhorse's panting became faster and stronger.

The violent heartbeat even overwhelmed the sound of the wind blowing in the ears.

"Whew——"

One of the horses in the team was either exhausted or its front hooves fell into a pit.

After a long whistle, the knight with him fell to the ground.

Then he was quickly swallowed by the demon spirits chasing from behind.

"Ah——"

The screams of the guard knights quickly disappeared.

"I must rest for a while!" Vesemir, who was running at the front of the long dragon, thought to himself after turning another demon spirit into green fireworks.

The warhorse has reached its limit.

Even if more and more demon spirits escaped from the pursuit.

He had to take the guard knights and stop after moving sideways away from the demon spirits for a distance, so that the warhorse could rest.

And in fact.

It's not just the warhorse.

The guard knights riding the warhorses are in no better condition than the horses under them.

Everyone was panting.

Since Vesemir joined them to delay the demon spirits, he has not stopped for a moment.

Although it was just following behind him, there was no need to attack.

But riding a horse while wearing heavy armor is physically exhausting.

Moreover, they had to endure the fear of death and the increasingly cold temperature and approach those hideous demons.

"Master Vesemir, we can still... can still hold on..." Arthur saw Vesemir putting away his sword and galloping away from the demon tide, panting and approaching with red eyes.

"No, you can't!" Vesemir placed his long sword flat on the gradually flattened horse's back and interrupted expressionlessly.

Under the anxious advice of Arthur and other knights of the Guards, he looked back at a place submerged by the green tide.

Dead knights and horses could be faintly seen there.

And this was already the fourteenth knight who fell within a few moments after he joined.

This time the Master Demon Hunter is not going to listen to their nonsense about "it was just an accident", "there is a pit in the ground", "bad luck"...

to be honest.

Vesemir can understand the extreme fear of the Guards Knights as they watch more and more demon spirits return to the demon spirit tide, approaching the ritual circle, approaching Elland, and approaching their loved ones.

It's not like he couldn't bear to sacrifice.

but……

Ever since they turned back to the demon-hunting army to get ghost oil due to a "mistake", or more precisely, a lack of knowledge about monsters, almost making all their previous efforts in vain.

Including the seemingly calm officer named Arthur, the mentality of all the knights of the Guards collapsed, as if they wanted to atone for their sins and despised their own lives.

This is not what experienced soldiers should do.

It's also meaningless.

He is the only one who really plays a role in this team now.

The other guards knights followed, just to avoid attracting the demon spirits as much as possible.

certainly.

What's more important is...

Although Vesemir was not proficient in ritual science, he could still roughly estimate the time as he watched Vera's ritual circle gradually fill up from a distance.

As long as there are no problems between him and Aylin, the demon hunting army will stop him.

That's almost enough time.

There is no need for these respectable knights of the guard to waste their lives in vain.

but.

Listening to the violent heartbeats of humans and animals that seemed to beat out of their chests, I looked back at their faces with red eyes that were so anxious that they lost their minds.

Vesemir knew he couldn't persuade him, so he just reprimanded him seriously:

"I am the master demon hunter. Do you know how to deal with monsters better than me?"

Then, he stopped talking.

Looking at the demon spirits that kept returning, and listening to the gasps of the surrounding humans and animals, I mentally estimated the best time to fight again.

Although Arthur on the side was anxious, without Vesemir, it would be useless for them to go back.

He could only look at each other with his subordinates and adjust his breathing as quickly as possible.

Unexpectedly, Arthur's heart calmed down after hearing the master witcher's reprimand.

yes!

Vesemir is the master witcher!

Since he is so calm, there must be nothing wrong!

The more he thought about it, the anxious heart of Arthur gradually calmed down.

"Besides, we also have two master witchers..." He let out a sigh of relief.

Speaking of which, Master Aylin seems to be only fourteen years old now.

Thinking back to the ghoul oil, the ghost oil, and the ferocious giant ghoul head dripping with blood...

Arthur couldn't help but admire in his heart.

It can create excellent potion formulas and is powerful enough to easily hunt large monsters.

Is the gap between ordinary people and geniuses really that big?

In order to avoid thinking about demon spirits and affecting my mood.

Arthur was thinking wildly, and his eyes couldn't help but look to the other side of the wave of demon spirits.

But it’s dark now, and there’s a wave of demon spirits blocking the way, so naturally you can’t see anything…

Um?

Arthur's eyes widened suddenly.

"What's that?"

Vesemir, who was listening intently to the heartbeat, instinctively turned his head to look at Arthur, and then looked in the direction of his gaze.

The next moment.

The dark golden cat's eyes suddenly shrank into a vertical line, and his breathing stopped instantly.

He saw.

Behind the wave of demon spirits, a giant skeleton at least ten meters tall suddenly appeared.

It exudes a strange green light.

Single eye and vertical eye.

When the master demon hunter saw the giant, the strong pressure spread quickly like a strong wind.

Not only did Vesemir feel his whole body sinking, but the load on his heart increased.

The war horses neighed restlessly.

"嘘嘚嘚~"

The sound of teeth chattering kept coming from the ranks of the knights around him.

The huge wave of demon spirits seemed to be suppressed by the huge coercion of this magical power.

Nearly a thousand demon spirits turned around at the same time, facing the monster, and then suddenly stopped in place.

It's like a minister meeting a king, and like an animal meeting a natural enemy...

Vesemir trembled when he saw this strange scene, and a chill penetrated from his tailbone directly to his scalp.

"Damn! Aelin is still there!!!"

The master witcher exclaimed and was about to rush towards the horse as soon as he clamped his belly.

Arthur, who had quick eyes and quick hands, was so frightened that he quickly stopped him.

But how could ordinary people, even elite knights, hold down a master demon hunter?

"Eh-"

After being freed for an instant, Arthur's outstretched hand was captured by gravity and pulled hard on the tail of Master Vesemir's horse.

The war horse hissed in pain, barely able to get a kick from him.

But it also accelerated the speed.

"Da da da~"

In the rapid sound of horse hooves.

Arthur, who was supported by other knights of the guard, looked as pale as a dead man.

He stared blankly at the huge monsters that looked like gods descending into the world, the demon spirits that seemed to be arranging soldiers, and the master demon hunter who was rushing away in a panic...

His hands were put down helplessly, and his heart was filled with despair.

The rough tail mane fell into the dust.

It’s over…

Elland... It's over...

...

"What kind of monster is this?"

The demon hunter, who was caught off guard by the suddenly enlarged green monster, quickly retreated with Balmer, who was trembling and seemed to be excited.

The rough skin of the monster was expanding rapidly, and he was always two fists away from him.

He could even see the texture that looked like fingerprints, expanding into gullies running in all directions.

Aylin had thought about the difficulties that might arise in this celestial intersection.

The sudden appearance of the Wild Hunt, the monster's strength was too strong, and the sudden influx of demons...

But he really didn't expect that the first difficulty of the 9981 difficulties would be the pressure of the ghost monster.

But speaking of it.

Although I don't know what this large monster that has never been seen looks like, ghosts floating in the sky are generally weightless...

Random thoughts did not affect the speed of the demon hunter's retreat.

In less than two seconds, Aylin retreated silently like a ghost to a place less than five meters away from the shining campfire.

It was also here.

The monster stopped expanding.

"Hu~"

The rising heat burned his back, and the demon hunter took a breath quickly.

Then.

He skillfully took out the blizzard from the reagent bag, drank it in one gulp, and threw it aside.

Immediately afterwards.

In order to save every blink of the first-hand advantage brought to him by the intersection of the celestial spheres and "night".

He did not identify and check the attributes, did not carefully observe whether the monster was in a coma, and did not even wait for the effect of the blizzard to be fully exerted...

He stepped on the ground with his right foot and swung Balmer.

Cut!

In fact, for Ailin, this sword was a gamble.

Before.

He had never used Balmer.

Whether it was a ghoul or a demon spirit...

There seemed to be a consciousness that was reminding him faintly.

The great Balmer sword was not used to chop those small fish.

Of course, this was just a feeling, not really like a warlock, speaking in his mind.

Ailin himself was also used to using Elsa and applying sword oil, so he had never used it.

But a few seconds ago.

The legendary longsword Balmer actually took the initiative to "invite a fight".

Even if there is no time to apply ghost oil, the demon hunter will take the risk.

Breaking steel, slaying demons, breaking armor, exorcising evil, destroying luck...

This divine sword has five entries.

"Swish!"

In an instant.

In order to concentrate on chopping this sword, the magic power in the demon hunter's body temporarily stagnated, breaking away from the invisible and silent state of the night.

A flash of cold light.

Balmer quickly split the air, making an explosion.

He slashed fiercely at the rough skin of the unknown ghost monster.

In order to be on the safe side, the demon hunter was ready at this moment.

If the sword bounces because of the elemental favor force field, he will quickly use the reaction force to spin around and pull out Elsa soaked in ghost oil to connect.

At that time.

The effect of blizzard must have been exerted.

He can do such a difficult move.

But he didn't think.

When Balmer's sword slashed the monster's green skin, a shining white light suddenly lit up in the dark night.

Immediately afterwards.

Like a hot knife cutting butter, it cut through the elemental favor force field on the skin without any sluggishness, and the whole sword was deeply immersed in it.

And this is not over yet.

"Bang!"

There was a bang.

Where Balmer slashed, a cavity as big as a human head suddenly exploded.

At this moment.

In the demon hunting state, the indifferent Aelin was stunned for a moment.

Then.

Looking at the values ​​in the field of vision, his mouth opened wide.
