Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf

Alin glanced at the three holy statues of Meliteli through the translucent panel and took a deep breath.

"Whether the curse of the evil god can be solved depends on this time."

As his mind turned.

Suddenly, everything in front of him went dark.

A strong sense of weightlessness came over him, as if he was in the sky, being pulled down by gravity.

Falling straight into the deepest part of the bottomless abyss.

"Where is this going?" Alin felt a little uneasy.

The place where he dreamed last time was clearly reached in an instant when his eyes went black.

But now.

He felt that he had been falling for almost two minutes, but he had not reached the place yet.

At this moment.

"Puff~"

A strong impact came in an instant.

But before he could feel the pain, the demon hunter was immersed in some kind of liquid.

There was still darkness in front of him, as if a big stone was tied to his body and thrown into the sea.

But he was very familiar with this feeling of sinking.

In the abandoned mine of Viscount Hudson, when he first saw the big-eyed evil god, it was just like now.

At that time.

He relied on the amulet of the goddess Meliteli given by Vera to escape with great difficulty.

"Could it be that this is some special space?"

"The so-called divine realm?"

Thinking of the big-eyed evil god, the still sinking demon hunter felt a little worried.

The darkness coming from all directions gave people a strong sense of crisis.

It was as if countless dangerous and covetous eyes were coming from all directions.

However.

Before he could think carefully.

"Rustle~"

The sound of the wind blowing the wheat waves suddenly sounded in his ears.

The strong fragrance of plants lingered around.

At this moment, he suddenly found that...

The fall suddenly ended without knowing when.

He stood on the soft soil.

"Hmm?"

In a trance, the demon hunter remembered how to open his eyes.

Gold.

What meets the eye is an endless golden ocean, and a closer look reveals that it is all ripe ears of wheat with full grains.

It is scorching and warm, and it seems like a golden and precious brocade, spread on the endless plain.

A refreshing breeze blows.

The wheat waves roll like golden waves, bringing the fragrance of the sun.

"Where is this?"

The witcher was stunned by the magnificent and rich scenery in front of him.

Wheat usually matures from mid-July to September, but now it is just after May Day.

"You broke into someone else's house and asked the owner where this is?"

A playful and tender female voice suddenly sounded within three steps to the right.

Who is there?

When did she appear?

The witcher was startled and turned around, and his right hand instinctively stretched back, trying to pull out Elsa, but he didn't hold anything.

He looked carefully.

A beautiful girl with a gentle smile stood beside him at some point, looking up at him.

He was wearing a pure white silk dress, with a wreath of green leaves and branches on his head. His arms and neck were as white and delicate as mutton fat.

But what made Aylin a little unbelievable was his golden eyes full of divinity.

"Who are you?"

A question came out of the demon hunter's mouth.

But the next second.

"Full of divinity..." Aylin murmured.

"... The girl will guide you safely to the land of harvest and the place of abundance..."

The requiem that sounded at Elland's funeral this morning appeared in his mind.

"The place of harvest... The place of abundance..."

He tilted his head to look at the golden waves of wheat with full grains, and then looked at the girl in front of him.

"It seems that I don't need to answer the question of 'Who am I'." The girl smiled meaningfully.

"Mei... Goddess Meliteli..."

Thinking of the girl's statement of "breaking into someone else's house", the demon hunter swallowed his saliva with a dry throat.

It's outrageous.

So...

"Communication with God" means to kick open the "door" of God without God's consent, and walk to God to communicate with him?

No wonder it costs a hundred experience beads...

No wonder it reminds you that encountering gods may be extremely risky...

Let alone God, it would be hard for any ordinary human to endure this.

The Demon Hunter nervously retracted his right hand that was holding Elsa.

Only then did he realize.

Although his body was not the sphere in the dream, the linen-like clothes on his body were still dyed with the same colorful colors as in the dream, and the leather armor and double swords were not brought in.

The communication with God was still not the real body, but the embodiment of some kind of consciousness.

"Yes, I am Meliteli." The girl put her hands behind her back and tiptoed quietly, as if she wanted to talk to the Demon Hunter at eye level.

However, no matter how much she tiptoed, the height difference was still difficult to make up.

This made the girl, who tried several times, seem a little discouraged.

Although I don't know why a god would make such an unstable move.

However, the childish behavior of humanity still made Ailin, who was tense by suddenly meeting a powerful god, relax.

He thought about it, squatted down and lowered his body: "Sorry, Goddess Meliteli, I didn't mean to... uh... meet you in this way."

"It's okay..." The girl seemed very satisfied with his behavior, and patted him on the right shoulder lightly with an air of seniority.

Seeing the girl's contradictory smile, which was a mixture of divinity and childishness, Ailin was thinking about how to ask for the removal of the evil god's curse.

"Sizzle~"

The stench of burning came from his right shoulder.

The demon hunter looked in the direction of the sound.

A cloud of black smoke slowly rose from where the girl slapped.

At the source of the black smoke, the extremely evil and cold red dot could be felt with the naked eye, trembling and brightening.

It seemed to be burned and purified.

The faint and severe pain catered to the frequency of the red dot's trembling, and waves came from the depths of his soul, making Ailin groan and grit his teeth.

Fortunately.

This unbearable and intense pain only appeared for a while, and then slowly faded away.

Then.

A feeling of relaxation, as if a thousand pounds of burden had been unloaded, came naturally.

Ailin knew.

The evil god's curse that had troubled him for a whole six months, making him afraid to approach the portal and use space skills such as flash...

From today, it will completely disappear.

He... is free.

The next second.

"Ding Ding Ding..."

The system prompt in my head sounded like a bell for the end of get out of class.

It should be the system message of the fragment of the Ard Geis Gate.

However, Ailin didn't care. He looked at the smiling girl in front of him and sincerely thanked:

"Thank you, Goddess Meliteli."

He thought that after meeting the goddess, he still needed to complete some trials and tasks.

Unexpectedly, Goddess Meliteli was so straightforward that she removed the curse for him as soon as they met.

"After all, this is what I promised you!" The girl smiled and patted Ailin's right shoulder again, "You save the humans of Elland for me, and I will remove the curse of the dirty things for you."

"It also saves people from always secretly saying that I am not trustworthy when praying, and my divine power has declined to the point of losing the ability to influence reality..."

The demon hunter was embarrassed and apologized repeatedly.

His toes curled up in embarrassment, and he almost dug out an ancient sea fortress in the fertile soil.

Who would have thought that the little words whispered before and after the prayer could really be heard by the gods?

Especially when this god has not appeared in the world for hundreds of years and the words he said are a bit intermittent.

Now we can only be thankful for the goddess Meliteli. Although she looks a little out of tune and not as solemn and dignified as the gods in our impression, her temper seems to be good.

Otherwise, if the words whispered by the demon hunter were known by the eternal fire in the future, it would be completely blasphemy and he could be directly put to the stake.

But then again.

If the Meliteli Church is really like the eternal fire that appears in games and novels, excluding dissidents and doing all kinds of evil.

He didn't dare to stay in the holy image room closest to the gods all the time, let alone use "communication with gods".

The girl didn't look angry, and after a few "playful" teasings, she waved her hand and looked up at the sky.

Ailin looked in the direction of His sight.

The endless golden wheat waves were too eye-catching, and he had not paid attention to the sky of the kingdom of God.

When he looked up, he was immediately attracted.

The stars, the moon, and the sun were shining in the bright sky at the same time, and the hazy galaxy spanned the sky, magnificent beyond description.

"But you are right..." the girl suddenly said.

Then, in a trance, the demon hunter turned into a pregnant woman with a big belly.

"Hmm?" The demon hunter tilted his head to look at the loving eyes that seemed to be filled with liquid gold.

"I have indeed declined to the point where I am about to lose contact with reality..."

The demon hunter was startled when he heard this.

What does it mean when the gods who rely on faith to exist lose contact with reality and their believers?

When this question suddenly appeared in his mind, his whole body was suddenly horrified as if he fell into an ice cave.

God's death!

Gods like Meliteli, who were born out of faith, may only fall after losing contact with their believers.

Am I really qualified to hear such big news?

The demon hunter became nervous again, his throat was a little dry, and he dared not breathe.

When he shifted his sight and dared not look at the pregnant woman again, he found something strange.

The surging golden wheat waves were ripe, and it was time to harvest.

But looking around, there was no one, no creature in the vast expanse.

When he found this.

The originally vigorous vitality suddenly seemed so thin and false.

Since the gods are real, what about those who were led to the harvest and the place of abundance after death?

Where did they go?

"Puff~" The pregnant woman noticed Ailin's nervous expression, and immediately stroked her bulging belly and smiled maternally.

"Don't be afraid."

He patted the demon hunter's shoulder again.

Feeling the force on his right shoulder, Ailin pulled the corner of his mouth and laughed awkwardly.

Something seems wrong.

The task of eliminating the evil god's curse has been completed. Now he actually wants a blessing of good luck and then go back to open the treasure chest.

However

The goddess just removed the curse from you, and you left without saying goodbye.

This is a bit rude.

Therefore, the demon hunter could only listen patiently and find a chance to say goodbye.

"I woke up from my faith. Humans shaped everything about me. Life and death are meaningless to me."

The pregnant woman looked back at the sky:

"The meaning of my existence is to satisfy mankind's desire for abundant fields, fertility, health and wisdom. The world has also given me the authority to satisfy the desires of living beings."

"But now..."

The pregnant woman paused and then said:

"Although I can still hear the prayers and desires of believers, I am getting farther and farther away from them, and my power is getting weaker and weaker."

"Why?" the witcher asked curiously.

The Meriteli Cult has the largest number of believers in the northern continent, and although the number has fluctuated due to wars, it has never completely decreased on a large scale.

After all, in wars, the main victims of war deaths are men as soldiers.

Women are just affected.

Therefore, it makes no sense that such a god would have such a decline in power that - as "He" said - "the god fell".

But after experiencing the past few days, there was only "Aelin...Aelin..." in her dreams every night, and the fact that when Ianna first came to the temple, she had not heard the oracle for a long time.

He had to admit that it was a fact that the power of the goddess Meriteri had weakened.

"When my power first began to decline, I thought that human beings' desire for good harvests, fertility, health, wisdom, peace and prosperity had been satisfied, and they no longer needed a god like me..." the pregnant woman continued.

"How is this possible!" The demon hunter couldn't help but interjected.

Even in previous lives when material means of production were so abundant, we could not fully achieve the first point.

"It's true as you said, at least it's impossible for now, especially now when human beings are so thirsty for war."

The pregnant woman nodded.

"But at that time, humans had just taken away control of the entire continent from Ain Sheidi, and they had been peaceful for a long time."

"So I misjudged this point and thought that I was no longer needed by humans, so I took the initiative to hide from human life."

"And..." The pregnant woman suddenly smiled sweetly, "When I disappeared, I found that their lives were the same as before, without any change, and they were even better than when I intervened in reality."

"I am even more convinced of my judgment at that time..."

"Humanity has never needed a god."

"They are not children who are just learning to talk. They don't need a superior 'mother' to interfere in everything they do."

"They've become 'adults,' so I completely let it go."

Thinking of what Ianna and he said about the arrangements after the gods disappeared.

Aelin had to admit.

Meriteri is indeed a great god, at least a thousand times better than those gods in the West who only did this and that in her previous life.

But every story has a twist.

The same goes for Meritelli's.

"But..." He said.

Just after saying the two-word turning point, the pregnant woman suddenly turned into a hunched old woman in front of the demon hunter.

He was wearing a black knitted robe, with a shabby waist bag often carried by herbalists tied around his waist, and his hair was full of silver.

Wrinkles were carved on His face by time, the sharpest ax in the world.

On the dull face, there was a pair of golden eyes full of wisdom.

He glanced at the demon hunter, pointed at the junction of the sky and the wheat waves, and said in a hoarse and magnetic voice:

"I was deceived."

"I was blinded by the unpredictable fate, by the end and death that all living beings are destined to usher in..."

"The gods will die, and all things will eventually perish..."
