Whispering Verse

Chapter 2905 Ancient Hunters and the Mark of Sin

Although the atmosphere and environment were extremely depressing, after the doctor was completely wrapped in a black cocoon, except for the black light emitted by the entire ceremony and the small whispers around him, there was no longer anything abnormal here. At first, Shade was quite vigilant, waiting for something unexpected to happen, but after half an hour, nothing changed here, and his thoughts became slightly distracted.

Glancing at the long sword in his hand, he asked in his heart:

"What do you mean by the so-called [Demon King]?"

[Judging from the information I have come across so far, it is not a god. 】

"She" answered softly, and Shade agreed with this answer:

"But if it's not a god, isn't this existence similar to the mermaid currently in Moon Bay?"

He had actually been thinking about this issue a long time ago:

"That mermaid is currently showing extremely powerful power, but before I met it, wasn't it directly sealed in Coldwater Harbor for hundreds of years by a drop of divinity? In other words, no matter how powerful the existence under the gods is, , As long as I still have divinity, the so-called [Demon King] or [Desire] is actually not a terrible enemy that cannot be dealt with. "

"She" smiled softly:

[So, do you know how to use divinity to seal something? 】

"Well, when the divine burning state is in progress, wouldn't it be enough to use the Mystical Lock-Tree Kiss?"

Shade's eyes continued to stare at the motionless cocoon.

[Then the next question is, why during the Battle of Moon Bay, according to the witches, during your "death", the mermaid could face the attack of the evil dragon god and showed no signs of injury afterwards? 】

"this"

Shade really couldn't answer this question, but it did happen that "desire" was sealed. In other words, the power of divinity can only work against such strange and powerful existences through appropriate methods, but Xia De doesn't know exactly how to do this.

Of course, whether "Desire" and "Demon King" can be compared together is just Shade's guess. Maybe the power gap between the two is as big as Shade and little Mia, but this does not prevent Shade from treating them as the same kind at this time.

rustle~

In the silence, the sudden sound became particularly obvious. Shade immediately looked around, but the sound did not come from the ceremony in the clearing, but from outside the clearing.

As the footsteps and the sound of brushing away the grass got closer and closer, a man carrying two long swords, dressed in a hunting suit, and with an obvious scar on his face walked out of the woods. But this is not a living person. His body appears transparent and emits blue light. Even though they were nearly thirty meters apart, Shade could feel the strong whispering element in the other party.

After the man appeared, he did not enter the scope of the ceremony, but frowned at the scene in front of him. Then his eyes shifted to Shade, and he stepped towards him:

"Young man, is it this demon who is being tested?" (Dralion Common)

He asked Shade this way, and Shade saw the equally transparent [Demon Hunter Seal] on his hand and the bright witcher marks on his buttons, and he immediately understood:

"Are you the ancient demon hunter summoned in "The Witcher's Notes"?"

"Not a summons."

The man corrected:

"The me you see is just the echo from the past preserved in that notebook. Whenever someone wants to accept the inheritance, those echoes will be touched. Maybe this face really existed, but I am not him. I am the sum of all the echoes left in the book. Is that the [Night Watcher] you are holding in your hand?"

"You know this too?"

Shade swung his sword and found that the hunter was not afraid. The other party is probably not the kind of spirit that lives in a book in the story. The fact that the book can be carried back and forth through the "space maze" by Shade has proven this.

The expressionless hunter nodded. He seemed to be more interested in Shade than the doctor:

"There is no demon hunter who doesn't know this sword. In order to fight those evil spirits, we have forged a total of three most powerful weapons -

[Night Watch], we are hunters who guard the night of the world, we need sharp swords;

[The Encyclopedia of Demon Hunters], demons are immortal, so we need ways to contain and seal them. This book can seal those demons that have completely exhausted their power and are close to being reborn. This is the most secure prison. ;

[Lightless Road], this is a compass used to track evil spirits. As long as the identity and power characteristics of the evil spirits are known, the compass can accurately point the direction for hunters. "

He did not look at Shade when he spoke, but continued to look at the sword he was holding:

"The birth of these three weapons allowed the intelligent beings to barely maintain their tribe from extinction in the terrible Third Age. And after that era ended, we took advantage of the chaos of history and time when the era changed to bury their names and Meaning, I hope they can die together with the evil spirits. The existence of these weapons has been linked to too many terrible things. "

After saying that, he raised his head and asked Xia De:

"Since you are recognized by it, why don't you destroy this demon?"

The strange hunter pointed to the big cocoon in the center of the ceremony. Shade immediately shook his head:

"You should be able to feel it, right? The one who started the trial of "The Witcher's Notes" is the demon you mentioned."

"I can feel it, but obviously you are more suitable than him. So, he wants to have the power of both a demon and a hunter?"

"He wanted the power of the hunter to help him balance the power of the demon he was forced to possess."

Shade corrected:

"There are many stories in this. Even if I tell some stories, it feels like I am helping him to an end that is doomed to destruction. But he is my friend, and I will take the responsibility to ensure that the worst outcome does not happen. So I won’t destroy him.”

The hunter’s face was expressionless:

"I can feel that he has hunted many demons. He is indeed different from the devil. But I also feel the most dangerous power. He is a container, right?"

Shade could only guess what he meant:

"If you're talking about the original demon, yes."

"Don't mention its existence lightly."

The hunter warned Shade again, but he did not object to imparting power because of this:

"The hunter's power can indeed suppress the power he contains. If it is because of this, I will help him complete the ritual. But young hunter, do you understand the fate you have accepted when you hold this sword?"

"I'm not the one who opened that book. I don't want to be a hunter just yet, sorry."

Shade continued to shirk. The girls around him were against him doing this, so he would never accept this "second career."

I thought that the expressionless hunter would continue to persuade, but unexpectedly he gave up immediately:

"But [Night Watch] is in your hands, and you will eventually understand."

He turned around and was about to step into the ceremony in front of him. The blue light on his body was swaying like a flame blown by the wind.

Xia De suddenly asked again at this time:

"I would like to ask a question. Was that existence that cannot be mentioned once sealed by a man without a wish when it was first born?"

The hunter turned around and shook his head:

"No one knows how that existence was born, and all the stories that have been circulated so far are just stories. Young hunters, don't delve too much into the origin of that existence. If it has never been revived in your time, then just think of it as It’s fine if it doesn’t exist.”

He was about to turn around and leave, but Shade embarrassedly stopped him:

"I'm really sorry. Actually, there's one more thing. It's hard to meet someone like you who knows everything. Do you know the mermaid named 'Desire'? Which one of them is stronger?"

This time, although the hunter still stopped and turned around, he did not answer immediately. Just when Shade thought that it was too much to make things difficult for an echo of the past, he finally said:

"To humans, they are actually the same."

"But they are not the same existence after all, right? Although they are both terrifying and powerful, there should still be some differences."

The hunter's eyes looked at the sword held by Shade again, which made Shade think that if the [Night Watcher] was not here, the hunter would never answer this question:

"There were mortals who asked the gods for the same question in the third era. The gods said -

[They were born because of the world, but the mark of sin was broken. Although they were close to the highest, they never became the highest. 】(Unknown ancient language of the Third Age)"

"Um?"

Shade blinked, but the hunter would not give Shade a chance to ask questions this time. He turned around and turned into a blue light, and immediately got into the big black cocoon. The big cocoon suddenly expanded and contracted like a heart pumping blood, but soon returned to calm.

It was actually the right thing for him to leave so quickly, because Shade really wanted to ask about the book and compass. If those two things can be found, maybe the doctor can hunt and hunt down demons more efficiently in the future.

"Close to the Supreme. [Sin Brand]. Did I hear this term last year?"

He asked in his heart, and "she" still gave the answer gently:

[At the end of last summer, when I saw "Desire" for the first time under the Aurora Manor, she said, "If you can be born in the first era, you are qualified to fight for the brand of sin." 】(413)

"Did the answer from the god in the third era mean that if the mark of sin is not broken, then desires and demons are still possible."

But no one could answer his question this time. It had been too long since the end of the ancient era when civilization flourished. Even if the audience off the stage can occasionally see some fragments of sentences from the corners of the performance, they still cannot piece together all the truth of history.

"After I killed the ancient [Mimic Monster] in the secret room of the Golden Music Hall, I got a [Greed Brand]. I don't know if there is any relationship. I hope everything goes well next."

He sighed slightly, watching the blue lines on the large black cocoon slowly outline the symbol of the witcher, and continued to wait with his sword.
