The Divine Hunter Chapter 17: Agreement
"I need your blood essence..."
Roy stared at the sick face and said word by word, "You come from another world, your blood essence naturally has the atmosphere of your hometown, and there is an unbreakable connection with that planet. It's quite... in space coordinates."
The shadow elder fell into silence, his thin body still, as desolate as the harsh winter.
Regis, who had regained his breath, was so shocked by the conversation between the two that his cheeks turned pale and his expression was horrified.
A demon hunter actually asked the Shadow Elder for blood essence and sent it home?
This sounds like a horror story.
"If you add the gate to all realms in the underworld, then I am 90% sure to send you home."
Roy continued, the shadow elder raised a non-existent eyebrow,
"You...know that door?"
"Of course, it is a passage that connects the world where you were born and this world. Unfortunately, it was completely closed after the celestial sphere met. But I can restart it and use it as a starting point to 'jump', making it easier to reach you hometown."
The so-called "Gate of All Realms" is an ancient and mysterious teleportation device that can maximize the ability of ancient blood and increase the scale and duration of teleportation.
As far as Roy knows, there is also a "Gate to All Realms" in the world of Wild Hunt. After the Wild Hunt gradually loses the power to travel through the world, they can only let the "navigator" who retains part of the ancient bloodline open the door, transform the compatriots who pass through the door into ghost forms, and continue to travel through the planes and plunder other worlds.
"Sir, as you can see, my plan is here exactly as it is."
That's the end of Roy's explanation, and there was a long silence in Shitongzhi.
The shadow elder showed a thoughtful expression on his face, and pieces of black smoke danced around him like crows...
"What do you... want?"
Finally, the hoarse voice sounded, and its black and yellow eyes flashed, seeming to warn the witcher not to let the lion open its mouth.
"I've always been fair..." Roy's mouth curved slightly. At this point, his plan had been mostly successful, but he didn't let up in his last breath. The second half was the key to victory. "I have to pay a huge price to help you return to your hometown... so I also have some small requests. First of all, regardless of success or failure, the matter of Grufeld is over. Your Excellency, please stop pursuing me and my companions for the death of tribe members. responsibility."
The elder defaults.
"Secondly...if I succeed in finding a way home for you. Then I hope," Roy turned around and grinned at Regis who was eavesdropping, "you and all the high-ranking people in the tribe you now command. A first-class vampire will serve me for fifty years, well, it only takes fifty years."
Fifty years
This sentence was resounding and echoed repeatedly in the hall with swaying firelight.
The shadow elder froze on the spot with his eyes blank.
Regis opened his mouth slightly, and goosebumps appeared on his pale skin due to trembling.
How arrogant, demon hunter, you want to treat the elder as a slave and humiliate him face to face!
"Me and my compatriots?"
"Following you...a witcher?"
"Fifty years?"
Dense folds spread on the face of the shadow elder. Its mouth suddenly grew, and the fishy wind blowing from between the teeth almost swallowed Roy to pieces.
"You deserve to die!"
The two divided arms tore into pieces the gray skin of the elder's back. A membrane covered with black hair quickly formed on the new arms, turning into two huge bat wings in the blink of an eye.
Huhu
The bat wings flapped, and billowing black smoke rose into the sky, rolling in all directions like a storm, covering the entire hall!
"Would you like to try it yourself?"
The red lava Quen covered the Demon Hunter's body. He reached out and grabbed Gabriel from the void, marking the Shadow Elder without hesitation.
The dreamy gem dust covered the body that was undergoing drastic changes.
"Death!"
The shadow elder opened his **** mouth and screamed in anger!
Boom!
The earth is shaking!
Gravel splashes and dust clouds fill the air!
Regis covered his ears in pain during this scream, and his seven orifices were bleeding and turned into a swarm of bats, flying towards the exit for his life.
The sound wave turned into a heavy hammer, shattering the demon hunter's shield, and the huge force knocked him away.
When he fell to the ground with blood on the corner of his mouth, he looked up.
The flames and light suddenly extinguished, and the surrounding environment became darker than the abyss.
The Shadow Elder did not launch a direct attack, but hovered in the dark dome like electricity.
Like a falcon overlooking its prey from high in the sky.
The possessed gem dust left bat-like afterimages of changing colors in mid-air.
咻咻
The bowstring hums.
The crossbow arrows formed a silver line in mid-air, but they couldn't even touch the shadow of the elder!
It's so fast it's like it's flashing.
Roy cannot be locked, so he cannot be shocked.
Ah!
The second terrifying roar.
Dense vortexes of blood then emerged in the air, erupting with terrifying siphon power.
Roy's body shook, and the blood in his body suddenly lost control and turned into countless sharp steel needles, piercing the skin from the inside, frantically drilling out of the armor and exploding the shield.
Like moths to a flame, they flock to the whirlpool.
Looking from a distance, it was as if countless chains made of blood stretched out from the void, locking Roy.
It's hard for him to move.
Power drains away quickly with blood.
Finally!
The wind is blowing!
The huge bat shadow swooped down towards the weak demon hunter!
Roy raised his head to face it.
A golden light filled with vitality radiated from the whole body, briefly suppressing the terrible suction that swallowed the blood, and he raised Arondette above his head with both hands...
The sea of blood rippled, the scarlet octopus climbed on his shoulders and waved its arms and legs, the giant dragon with black scales opened its **** mouth behind his head, swung its whip tail, and spread its black scale wings that covered the sky and the sun. Exhaling hot air between cold white teeth...
Roy flew forward and struck with all his strength to meet the charging humanoid bat!
The black dragon illusion then waved its claws, shredded the air, and charged forward!
The long bone sword struck out with a scarlet sword light.
The deafening dragon roar tore apart the space.
Bang!
Claws and blades clash.
The whole Hades trembled.
The two colliding figures separated backwards.
Huge magic power erupted from the junction, intertwining into a black-red sun.
It is suspended in mid-air, radiating endless light and heat.
A big hole was torn out of the rich darkness, and light came again!
In the center of the hall, a huge funnel-shaped pit filled with cracks suddenly appeared on the solid stone floor.
East of the pit.
The demon hunter was thrown away in the direction he came from, knocking a big hole out of the wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood mixed with the minced internal organs, and fell to the ground with his bones and muscles shattered.
West.
The shadow elder slid ten meters backwards on the ground in embarrassment.
The dragon's roar frightened its soul, causing it to forget to dodge attacks in its daze.
A bat wing behind him was cut off by the scarlet sword light and turned into a pool of blood.
The waving octopus arms tightly bound its bat body, corroding the skin all over its body into pits and holes.
The most shocking thing is.
The black dragon's sharp claws hit its ugly head, shockingly breaking its cervical vertebrae. The pale bone spurs drilled out of the skin with large pieces of flesh, and the head was slapped to one side, close to the shoulder on the other side.
Crack, click, click.
The shadow elder twisted his neck at will, and his head returned to its original position. Black smoke flashed, and strips of bright red granulation of earthworms emerged from the **** wound, pulling and sticking to each other.
In the blink of an eye, injuries that would be fatal to ordinary people heal as before.
It looked towards the opposite side coldly.
The demon hunter, who was already dying and with dilated pupils, had a starlight as bright as the vast Milky Way strangely emerging from his back.
The atmosphere of decline is rising rapidly.
With a Ring of Time, Roy's entire body's injuries, including damaged armor and lost energy, were all restored in an instant.
He stood up suddenly.
Lunging, the long sword was placed horizontally on the side of the face, the tip of the sword pointed directly at the shadow elder opposite, the fighting spirit in his eyes became more intense,
"You stubborn, stupid and arrogant old vampire, I'm trying to reason with you and negotiate a deal, but you insist on taking action"
"Come then!"
"Try it and see if you can force out my true power!"
"So that you can end your long and boring life!"
"Let me tear down your shabby underworld!"
The air crackled.
Looking at each other.
The flames of black, yellow and silver ash burn brightly.
A **** battle is about to break out.
However, at this moment, a door as red as blood opened in the void, and a hoarse sound like a file came from it, interrupting the confrontation between the two.
"Shadow Tribe...Elders...Sith...stop."
A wisp of wriggling black smoke flowed out of the bleeding door and fell next to the elder, quickly transforming into another sickly and thin man.
The same deathly gray skin, cold, ancient temperament.
Roy's eyes narrowed.
The second shadow elder? Why did he appear suddenly?
The silver-gray pupils turned between the two almost identical figures, and his thoughts were racing.
Listening to what it said, it probably wasn’t to gang up on me.
Otherwise
He clenched his fists.
Solve it all!
But another doubt arose in his mind. Didn't Regis say there were three elders at the beginning, so why didn't one of them simply come and visit together?
By the way, where is Regis going?
Roy looked around and finally found the disgraced and unconscious barber doctor in a corner.
The ability shown by the elder just now seems to have a greater impact on similar people.
……
"The elder of Kalansa... Trache..."
"Don't stay in Toussaint...trespassing on my territory?"
"Criticize my decision?"
A coldness flashed across the face of the shadow elder who was confronting the witcher, and his tense body slowly relaxed,
The rage was suppressed by force.
……
"It's not just you...this is about my...lifelong wish."
"Fifteen hundred years have passed...the second rendezvous between the heavens and the earth is far away."
"How long...two hundred years...three hundred years...the next thousand years?"
"I've had enough of waiting..."
Two pairs of black and yellow eyes stared at each other,
Tracher said without giving in,
"Can't you feel it? The icy breath is approaching rapidly... drifting towards this world... the end of the hoarfrost era is coming..."
Roy was fascinated by what he heard. He didn't expect that the Shadow Elder also knew about the hoarfrost disaster.
"If before the celestial spheres meet...if frost comes...we will...sleep in the harsh winter forever...with no hope of returning home..."
"After more than two thousand years...can you still learn to consider the overall situation?"
Sith was silent for a long time, crossing his hands on his chest, and the black smoke and ferocious bat wings around him disappeared.
The shadow elder Tracher nodded and turned to the demon hunter, his expression calm, but a terrifying cold light flashed in his black and yellow pupils, as if he wanted to see through his soul,
"Demon hunter... not everyone is qualified... to trade with us... but you are pregnant with the blood of the ancients... you are not an ordinary person... you have secrets hidden in your body... that I cannot see through."
"We can agree...but the conditions must be changed."
Roy's expression softened slightly and he lowered the tip of his sword. This was the attitude of discussion.
Then he raised his chin at it to signal it to continue,
"Remove from the agreement...Me and Sith...If we successfully return home...Shadow and Garansha...the tribe members will work for you."
"Twenty years."
"You can call them anytime..."
"Except for killing each other...the rest of the orders..."
"Everyone obeys..."
"We engrave on you...a blood oath...if the agreement is fulfilled, it will be an edict...if it is broken, it will be a blood curse."
Roy's eyes turned.
Curse? The last thing he fears is curses. But he still had some questions ~IndoMTL.com~ looked directly at the new elder,
"Compared to the long lives of two people, twenty years is only the time to sleep."
When the time comes, he can also use the elders to deal with the Wild Hunt and Hoarfrost.
"Why are you unwilling? Do you have to exclude these two people from the contract?"
The two shadow elders silently exchanged glances and explained,
"Elders only obey...higher bloodline orders."
"Secondly...many years ago...Kevir's...Elder Flamir...traded...with cunning businessmen...explored..."
"Deceived by loopholes in the protocol...I have never returned home...the breath has disappeared."
"So no more... similar agreements will be signed."
Roy's heart was filled with turmoil. Who else could be a cunning businessman besides Mirror Master?
That dysentery-headed demon actually tricked a shadow elder?
So only two people showed up today.
"That's it...what do you think?!"
Two pairs of eyes looked over.
Roy could feel the expectation and some suppressed emotions contained in it.
If you refuse, you must kill them before you can leave Hades.
But that would go against his original intention.
He is here to gather support, not to make enemies.
In fact, enslaving the Shadow Elders was originally just a preliminary idea.
Keeping this moody time bomb with you will cause more trouble than help.
It’s okay to give up.
What he needs are allies who can come and go at a moment’s notice.
An obedient high-level vampire.
He turned to his pale cheeks and smiled softly, as if the previous conflict had never happened.
"Then let's make a deal."
"Now, tell me carefully about the so-called blood oath."
"By the way, take me to see the Gate of All Realms and prepare for teleportation."
