Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf

The fire gradually grew larger, flickering red and orange flames in the endless darkness.

There were conversations and quarrels in the air, and according to the tones, it should be the ancient language.

This language was passed down from the elves, because it is easier to mobilize the elemental power in the void. Many spells are in the ancient language. Wizards will learn it specifically, but Arlin was only taught some special terms by Vera when he was studying alchemy and rituals.

He didn't understand.

He came too hastily. The original plan changed from just looking down from the sky to landing and asking questions, and then to visiting Ben Ader and trying his luck. Until now, fate has sent guidance and has to go deep into the danger.

Of course, these are all good changes, which can be regarded as happy troubles.

But if he knew the current situation at the beginning, he could actually go back. Kaer Morhen is not far from Ben Ader, and it is estimated that it will take less than ten minutes to fly there from the sky.

Mary, an outstanding graduate of Aretuza, cannot not understand the ancient language.

But after thinking about it, even if he knew it in advance, he would not really bring Mary with him.

She is too weak.

Maybe Francesca can.

He touched the "Night·Color" on his face, which was as smooth as a woman's skin.

The obedient and non-self-willed "Valley Daisy" still performed well in terms of combat effectiveness.

The place where Ain Sheed and others were hiding was also in the Blue Mountains, and it seemed to be close to Ban Ade...

But this idea was abandoned not long after it came into his mind.

Let Ain Sheed watch him capture Ain El, who is of the same origin?

What kind of outrageous idea is this?

It would be better to bring Vesemir with him. Who knows, the ancient language may be in the skill library accumulated by the witcher master for hundreds of years.

What am I thinking about?

Is it useful to think about these useless things now?

Looking at the approaching fire and listening to the mysterious language that he couldn't understand gradually getting louder in his ears, Ailin suddenly realized that sweat oozed from his palms, and the neck that was not covered by the "night·color" was blown cold by the wind through the forest...

"Am I... nervous?"

Yes, he was nervous.

Only when he was nervous would he have such wild thoughts.

It was not difficult for him to understand his nervousness. After all, they were the Wild Hunt, who had just destroyed hundreds of wizards stationed in the fortified city, and killed one-third of the population of Elland with a few tricks...

When he first met them in the floating harbor, he was seriously injured by the aftermath of the spell before he saw them.

Seven meters!

Only seven meters away, just seven meters, he couldn't withstand a charge and died.

Although there were only two Wild Hunt now, they were also seriously injured.

But even so, could he really defeat them?

Ailin took a deep breath.

The air he inhaled into his lungs was as cold as the ice clusters that were left in the ruins in front of the tavern on the day of the floating harbor.

That was the smell of fear.

"How ridiculous!" he thought to himself, "A few minutes ago, I was still thinking about how to take away the treasure of destiny while killing one and leaving one, and torture for intelligence."

"But now, just approaching the fire of their camp and hearing their incomprehensible whispers, I can't help but feel fear?"

He shook his head in self-mockery, and then continued to move towards the fire and destiny.

It's better to be afraid now than to regret in the future.

If I miss these two lone and seriously injured wild hunters, will there be such an opportunity next time?

No, Ban Ade is the most powerful force in the northern continent. Where can I meet such a good opportunity again?

The orange-red flame flickered in the darkness.

The void was filled with increasingly loud and agitated and angry whispers.

He approached quietly, using the assassination skills of the cat school in the jungle.

He lifted his feet to a height as thin as a hair, slid sideways very slowly, and used his keen sense of touch to test whether there were any twigs and traps on the ground that would expose him, and then landed gently.

"Night·Color" could make him invisible and silent, but it could not prevent him from being affected by some magic traps.

More importantly, doing so would make him feel at ease.

He quietly went around to the leeward side, and a faint smell of blood mixed with a unique sweet fragrance blew along the wind in the forest.

After arriving at the edge of the camp, the voices of people became clearer.

Although Ailin could not understand what they were saying, he still tried his best to remember these tones so that he could ask someone after returning to the temple.

The wolf emblem trembled uncontrollably on his chest, and he stopped it by soothing it in his mind.

After he took out the giant ghoul decoction and blizzard from the reagent bag and drank them, he slowly passed the thick oak trees that blocked his eyes and the knee-high bushes, and finally saw the target of his trip.

If he hadn't known that the Wild Hunt was Ain El, who was of the same origin as Ain Sheed, he would never have equated the two monsters in front of him with the handsome elves.

The head with only a rusty helmet was left, and a blue-gray flame burned in the empty eye sockets. The tattered cloak fluttered in the wind in the forest.

They should be arguing, and their arms split the air again and again, almost swinging at each other's hideous heads.

The black iron scepter of the same color as the armor was inserted into the ground beside it, and the transparent gem on the top of the scepter flashed a cold light.

More like a demon than a living being.

"They... are the Wild Hunt!"

Ailin couldn't help holding his breath, and after a second he thought of a question.

Since the Wild Hunt looked like a skeleton, where did the fresh smell of blood in the air come from?

When he realized that this might be some kind of disguise, just like he used the mirage to replace the pupils of his feline eyes, the argument echoing in the simple camp paused for a moment.

Discovered?

The demon hunter saw their arms waving in the air, and swung them slightly unnaturally towards the scepter beside the campfire.

Discovered!

Although he didn't know why, Aylin made the most correct move at the moment.

In a flash, he pulled out Elsa with his right hand and drew a triangle in front of him with his left hand.

"Buzz!"

The wolf emblem hummed fiercely.

The moment his right foot slammed on the ground, the space around him vibrated, and he was forced out of invisibility.

Countless translucent silk threads stretched across his eyes.

The demon hunter's mind moved slightly, and his mental power skillfully plucked the silk threads.

In an instant.

"Shua~"

With a light sound.

The demon hunter disappeared from the spot and appeared in the center of the two wild hunters.

At this moment, he was not in a hurry to attack any of the wild hunters.

As soon as he flashed to the campfire, under the astonished eyes of the two wild hunters, he used the power of his right foot to slam on the ground before "flashing", and kicked the two staffs stuck in the soil with his left leg.

"Swish~"

"Swish~"

In an instant, the two staffs shot into the darkness outside the camp like sharp arrows.

"Doudou" sounded twice, and shot into two thick trees at least 30 meters away, sinking directly into the trunk.

It was also at this moment that he discovered that there was more than one treasure that fate had guided him to.

One was on the waist of the wild hunter on the left hand, and the other was hidden in the armor on the chest of the wild hunter on the right hand.

"@#￥%"

"%￥#@"

Only withered bones, two pairs of mouths with white teeth opened and closed, and shrill cries came out.

Ailin felt a little funny at this moment.

How could such a loud cry come out of a mouth with no tongue and only bones? This disguise is a bit too perfunctory.

However, this thought only flashed through his mind.

The next moment.

The right foot landed on the ground, and then stepped on the ground.

While spinning and dancing with the sword...

[Demon Hunting]

Time slowed down, and emotional fluctuations were suppressed to the extreme.

The sword rang clearly, and the light of the long sword danced under the reflection of the campfire, drawing a silver arc of light and falling on the metal wristband on the left side that the wild hunter instinctively blocked.

"Dang!"

A purple light flashed on the metal wristband, and the silver sword was naturally bounced up.

The left wild hunter's arms suddenly spread out unnaturally because of the force of the chop, and he took three steps back in a row.

[Demon Hunting] Progress 3%

"Who are you? ! ! You are not those human wizards!"

The upper and lower jaws of the left wild hunter did not move, but the voice was clearly transmitted to the ears of the demon hunter. They sounded in his mind, as if echoing underwater.

Ailin did not answer the voice in his mind, but used the force of the silver sword to cross his left and right feet, turned around and slashed at the wild hunter on the right more quickly.

This wild hunter seemed to be far less well-trained than the one on the left, or his reaction in close combat was far inferior to the other one.

"Bang~"

He didn't react even when the long sword hit his neck.

It was just a pity.

When the blade fell, the wild hunter's whole body was lit up with ice-blue magic glow, and the whole person seemed to be wearing a robe engraved with mysterious runes.

Then the amplified force blasted him in the opposite direction of the staff, and he flew sideways, pressed down an unknown bush, and hit a tree.

[Demon Hunting] Progress 8%

It is not based on the 3% of the other wild hunter, and then 5% is added, but the two wild hunters are calculated one 3% and one 8% respectively.

This is a new effect obtained after [Demon Hunting] is upgraded to LV4, but it is only used for the first time today.

[Name: Demon Hunter]

[Type: Special Skill]

[Level: LV4]

[Active Effect: Consume 250 (+100) points of physical strength, concentrate the spirit to enter the demon hunting state for 250 (+100) seconds, and launch a critical strike (must kill the monster) after the conditions are met

LV4 Additional Effect: Consume 250 more magic power, and when the demon hunter switches between two (+1) targets, calculate the demon hunting progress separately]

3% and 8% do not need to be distinguished, and which one should be targeted.

Almost the moment the wild hunter was knocked away, Ailin rushed forward in the direction he flew.

"Hu~"

At this time, there was a sudden sound of rapid wind behind him. He estimated it, but did not dodge, but adjusted the center of gravity of his body.

In the battle, the blood-red leather armor that revealed its true face flashed with golden light.

After the fierce force was filtered by the Quen seal, it acted on the waist, but was borrowed by the demon hunter and rushed towards the fallen wild hunter at a faster speed.

"Despicable human! Who are you?!!"

Someone was roaring in his mind, the sound was like thunder.

Alin ignored it, and rushed to the bush where the Wild Hunt fell in three big steps.

Not only that, he even swung his sword and activated the "Blizzard" at the moment of slashing.

The adrenal medulla on both sides of the waist secreted pheromones in an instant, and the brain suddenly became cold.

The sound of the wind blowing through the leaves in the forest stopped, the sound of the burning firewood in the bonfire and the curses and chasing of the Wild Hunt behind him also stopped.

Everything became extremely slow at this moment.

Only the silver-white long sword fell from the sky, facing the extremely terrified eyes on the ground, and five swords in an instant.

[Demon Hunter] Progress 16%...25%...35%...46%...

[Demon Hunter] Progress 57%

The ice-blue robe with runes on it has an unstable protective state, and each sword increases the previous sword by one percent.

The last sword even penetrated the blue magic glow and cut a half-inch bloody wound on the neck of the wild hunter.

The bright red blood flowed out from the dry and rotten throat bone, which was very strange.

"It's really a disguise..." Ailin's heart moved.

"Ah! \u0026%!!!!"

The wild hunter on the ground was screaming, but Ailin could only understand one word.

He could understand the anxious and angry roar in his mind, "Stop! Stop! You damn monster!"

Tsk tsk!

I never thought that one day I would be called a monster by the wild hunter...

As for stopping?

Of course not!

Since he used "Flash", it was destined that these two wild hunters would not be able to leave alive, even as his captives.

As for the information, at most, he could get it from their memories after learning the ancient language.

He still remembered the memories of the two demon hunters that were exposed when the Cat School attacked them. There was no reason why the Ain Els, who were also intelligent creatures, could not expose them.

But to be honest, I don’t know whether it was because they were injured or because the staff was disarmed in advance, or both. Even if he attacked suddenly, the two wild hunters were much weaker than he imagined.

This made him feel relieved, and he also became curious about the original strength of the wild hunters.

Of course, compared to the ending of steadily killing the wild hunters and obtaining the "memories of the wild hunters", he was not so eager for the important information of "the strength of the wild hunters".

It was just that when he chopped five swords in a row just now, the wild hunters in front of him were indeed so weak that for a moment, he had the idea of ​​capturing them and squeezing out more information.

He forcibly cut off the flow of thoughts and warned himself not to be arrogant because of the temporary advantage.

Ailin restrained the palpitations caused by the toxicity of "Blizzard" mixed with "Giant Ghoul Decoction" and took a breath.

The abnormal state was short-lived, and the sword swinging movement was only slightly delayed for a fraction of a second.

However, the two wild hunters still seized the opportunity.

After the one on the ground exclaimed, he pressed his hands on the black iron armor twice in a row. At the same time as the brightness of the ice-blue rune vestments was restored, another dark blue spherical magic barrier bounced the demon hunter away from the spot.

There was also a scorching temperature behind him. The demon hunter could see a fireball forming rapidly from the corner of his eye.

But he didn't care.

After being bounced, the moment he fell from mid-air, he bent his knees, tightened his leg muscles, and rushed forward.

The silver-white sharp blade swung a dazzling sword light in mid-air, and once again stabbed the wild hunter who was bending his fingers in the dark blue magic barrier, not knowing what spell he wanted to recite.

Immediately afterwards.

At the moment when the long sword came into contact with the magic barrier, the blue cat pupils that were originally calm suddenly shrank.

An accident happened.
