The Divine Hunter Chapter 30: A flash of light kills darkness?l
The bustling streets of Novigrad are known to the world.
Wearing a long red dress, the radiant Rita Nied and the Cat Faction Demon Hunter shuttled between the herbal shop and the alchemy shop in Nok City, purchasing alchemy supplies in large quantities to prepare for the upcoming grass trial of the young apprentice. .
……
On the other side, Vesemir and Geralt, who knew a little bit about the Grass Trial, had been in the laboratory under the temple island early, adjusting and maintaining the experimental facilities to ensure their normal operation and ensure that the trial was foolproof.
Except for the time spent with Countess Minore, this was the second time that the old man felt a sense of expectation.
And Geralt’s heart was beating fast. He had not been so nervous for a long time after breaking up with Yennefer.
It has been more than thirty years since they witnessed the birth of a new apprentice. They are waiting for the day when a miracle comes.
……
Letho and the Oakes brothers went back and forth between the market and the blacksmith shop in the city to install a furnace and an alchemy platform for Gawain's house.
……
Two steady men, Eskar and Kaiyan, stayed at the school to accompany the children in reading and literacy.
……
As for the remaining witchers, Roy, Lambert, Aiden——
On the other side of the hustle and bustle of the bright world, the sewers of Nuo City are another vibrant underground kingdom.
Dark corridor.
The "tapping" footsteps passed through the stinking ditch with dirty water flowing across it, the wet moss, the stinking household garbage, and the corpses of various small animals and unknown creatures.
Three figures walked side by side in the darkness, with amber, dark gold, silver gray, and scarlet pupils, like the flowing will-o'-the-wisps in the cemetery.
Elusive.
It was not quiet in the tunnel.
Ugly toads with skin covered in lumps and mucus croaked in the corners, gray-haired mice as big as a human head scurryed in the pipes extending in all directions...and sneaky shadows made noisy and secret whispers in the deeper darkness. .
At a certain moment, the footsteps stopped suddenly.
Roy's body was slightly bent and still against the wall, and the dark blood vessels on his tense face were squirming gently.
In the demon hunter's senses, a **** ribbon floated from the hole in front.
He moved his nose.
The fishy smell of water plants and the stench like a swollen floating corpse quickly became strong.
The silver-grey pupils glanced at the two people next to them.
"Shua——"
A flash of lightning-like silver light flashed in the darkness.
The two silver swords were unsheathed at the same time. The demon hunter held the sword blade horizontally in front of him with one hand, and quickly outlined a triangular charm with the five fingers of the other hand.
Golden light enveloped the three people.
Almost at the same time, a water ghost with a green-black light all over its body poked its head out.
The protruding eyeballs like a jaundiced patient turned around, and it saw three prey.
"Tick tock."
The mouth was wide open to the base of the ears, and sticky saliva dripped down the jagged teeth.
"Whoosh——"
A sharp and short bowstring vibration suddenly erupted from the sewer.
A ball of blood burst out from the water ghost's forehead.
The slender crossbow arrows exploded with unimaginable impact, like a battering ram, flying its entire body back.
"Plop..."
The water ghost hung heavily on the wall and rolled down into the dirty, smelly ditch together with a few broken wall tiles.
A terrifyingly large hole opened in his forehead, and his brain gurgled out along the collapsed and broken bone hole, staining the ground red.
"Jiliguala!"
A sudden change occurred, and the densely packed water ghosts rushed out of the corner screaming.
The witchers moved forward in three directions.
Lambert faced the water ghost with a straight thrust, the silver sword pierced the neck diagonally, and the blade swung sideways lightly, cutting off half of the head of the other water ghost.
Blood splattered, and the demon hunter's face was full of excitement.
Aiden stepped into the group of water ghosts, and the silver sword in his hand appeared and disappeared. When the sword light shined, an extra corpse appeared.
Some were pierced in the eyes, or stabbed in the cervical spine or chin.
Everywhere is critical.
His movements were too fast, and the sword light stayed in mid-air. For a moment, it seemed like two afterimages were drawing out the sword at the same time.
Roy jumped into the middle of the water ghost.
Using his left foot as the center of gravity, he turned around, his muscles all over his body bulging under his thin armor.
The black blood vessels on the face are squirming and ferocious.
Power surges up from the waist combined with the strength of the arms.
Penetrated into Alondette, and drew a dark red half-moon along the waist.
"Shua——"
The sharp blade cuts open** like tofu.
"Wow..."
Steaming blood and intestines fell all over the floor.
The three-headed water ghost was cut in half.
Wailing and lingering.
And their lost vitality was sucked into Alondette by the strange vortex - in the middle of the sword body, three star-shaped runes quietly bloomed with bright yellow light.
Roy was intent on killing and faced several water ghosts rushing towards him from the other end of the corridor.
Lean down and sprint, dragging the sword backwards with one hand.
With one hand, he quickly drew the blue triangular charm while moving.
A few big steps splashed up a pile of dirty water under my feet.
Charge in front of them.
The left hand suddenly pushed forward.
Bang!
The strong cone-shaped airflow hit the water ghosts who were squeezing into a pile with their teeth and claws dancing.
The two ends next to him seemed to have stepped on banana peels on the ground, and the body was swaying and losing balance.
The end that bore the brunt of the impact was the strongest and fell directly backwards.
The demon hunter took the opportunity to duck forward and stepped on the belly of the fallen water ghost. Arondette stabbed the neck with a diagonal stab.
The blade of the sword thrust toward the upper left like lightning, piercing the eye socket of the second water ghost.
The third head pounced on his side.
The demon hunter used his elbow and raised his long sword to the right.
"Bang!"
Hit with the hilt!
The water ghost felt severe pain in his forehead, his eyes were filled with stars, and his mouth opened like an idiot.
"Shua——"
The deadly blade penetrated the mouth and brain.
“Kill the water ghost*6, experience value +120, the demon hunter Roy shook his wrist without changing his expression, and shook off the blood on the Lake Lady’s Sword.
Quietly, the five star-shaped runes on the sword all lit up, like dim stars connected end to end in the dim night sky.
"Eskal and Cat Vulture are not interesting enough, and they don't leave any more for us." Lambert wiped the blood on the sword with a rag, "We walked for an hour before we met such a group of little minions. ."
"It's not even enough to fill the gap between teeth."
Aiden also looked unsatisfied. Obviously, a killing in less than ten seconds was far from satisfying their desires.
"Don't worry, guys..." Roy smiled and squatted down and disemboweled him, "I have a hunch that there will be a mysterious gift waiting for us at the finish line."
"Don't cry with joy then!"
"By the way, Roy, I'm curious, what happened to your Gabriel? It knocked away all the water ghosts, but it looks so small." Aiden kept looking at Roy. , but the stunning hand crossbow was nowhere to be seen, "Are you sure it's not a siege crossbow?"
"I asked Coral to help me enchant me. But I have to pay a high price." Roy smiled, "You want it? It's best to find a mistress who is proficient in magic."
"Can you?"
"Weapons are like my own women, so I'm sorry, I can't just show you appreciation."
……
The three of them processed the corpse of the water ghost, took out all the available materials, and handed them to Roy to pack and take away.
Continue deeper into the sewers.
It is a pity that they did not encounter the powerful monsters they expected, but they saw a lot of messy flesh and blood remains: water ghosts, ghouls, evil ghosts, the ogre family had everything together.
There are strange bite marks all over.
Probably the corpse was dragged here by other monsters for secondary use after being killed by Eskar.
We passed through a long and quiet tunnel without incident again.
Their steps quietly became cautious.
In the demon hunter's senses, the **** ribbon extending in the tunnel reached its end.
This is a dead end.
Under the far wall, a closed marble coffin covered with intricate patterns lay quietly.
There are circles of skeletons scattered in the surrounding corners, some with carrion attached to them.
The three of them exchanged glances while holding their breath, and put on the seal in tacit agreement.
Quinn plus Helio.
Shuashua——
The three swords were unsheathed, and the palms of their hands were lightly smeared with brown vampire sword oil.
"GuluGulu..."
"Thunder" + "Patrick's Potion"
Under the skin of the face, the black blood vessels wriggled crazily like they were alive, becoming more dense.
And Roy was relieved, he could feel it.
Including the "cat" potion he drank when entering the sewer, he had already consumed three bottles of long-acting potion.
But he still has some energy left.
A physical constitution of more than 20 points gives him strong poison resistance.
Three men with vertical pupils flashing with cold light held their breath, landed on the ground and approached silently, surrounding the sarcophagus with their horns.
Roy made a ready gesture.
The two nodded at him.
He bent his knees and squatted down, pressing his palms to the ground.
Light purple light rose up.
The Arden Trap encompasses the entire coffin.
Suddenly, the coffin shook violently, the ground shook slightly, and the twilight bat on the ceiling flapped its membranous wings as if frightened, and flew away.
"Bang!"
The coffin board instantly slid back,
A terrifying monster sat up in the coffin.
This is a humanoid creature, shaped like a ten-month pregnant woman, with a huge and ugly hunchback.
It is all gray and black, with recurved legs like a werewolf, and sharp nails like dark iron cones growing on the ends of its claws.
At a rough glance, its head looks like a bat head magnified dozens of times.
But two pairs of gray horns appeared, one pair was located in the center of the forehead, shaped like the antennae of a beetle.
There is also a pair that wraps around the two ears and grows horizontally, like two dry banana leaves.
A large mouth occupies half of the face, revealing two sets of inner teeth. The outer set is like yellow corn kernels, and the inner set is slender and sharp like fish bones.
The head is surrounded by black mane like steel needles, which is vertical to the waist, not inferior to that of a dwarf.

Crisis intuition (passive solidification)
……
The monster just emerged from the coffin.
The three insidious demon hunters immediately thrust their silver swords into its ugly head.
The vampire oil on the silver sword mercilessly burned Katakaan's flesh and bone marrow.
The blood dispersed along with the pungent white smoke.
It was tortured and hissed.
But because of the existence of Arden's magic circle, he was restrained in place and unable to teleport or become invisible.
Katakahn could only turn around in anger and pain, a pair of sharp claws sweeping across the three attackers like the rotating blades of a windmill.
But the coffin is like a cage, limiting its performance.
After turning around, he didn't even touch the demon hunter's fur, but he fell into another trick.
A triangular charm was reflected in the pale pupils.
It lost its mind and fell into a sluggish state.
"Shua——"
Three silver swords pulled out this dirty body.
The demon hunter ignored the splatter of blood and hit it on the head hard again.
Second two rounds of attacks.
There are six more **** holes on its head.
My eyes regained clarity.
But it's too late!
"Shock!"
Roy had no intention of letting it move.
Scarlet tentacles emerged from the void at its feet, wrapping it into a big rice dumpling.
Its face was frozen with a grim look of pain.
The third round of violent attacks came.
The sword in Lambert's hand danced into an afterimage, and he slashed open its belly and cut off its internal organs.
Aiden thrust his sword into its eye socket, destroying its brain.
And Roy held Arondette tightly with both hands, and the sword stood upright in front of his chest.
The gold and silver intertwined pupils behind the sword ignited with murderous intent.
The expression is as solemn as the cold winter.
The muscles all over the body were stretched and contracted.
Arondette aimed at its neck, which was buried deep in the beard, and slashed with an upward slash.
"Shua——"
Blood-colored flames emerged from the sword body, catching the wind and covering the sharp blade.
Like a waving flag.
As the demon hunter slashed, the blood-red sword blade tore through the space, easily cutting through the tough flesh of the high-level vampire.
With the remaining momentum, a ray of red sword energy flew out of Alondette's sword blade, dispersed into the dark air, and hit the hard wall at the end of the tunnel, leaving a sharp sword mark.
Thuds of gravel rolling down
The headless body sat backwards into the coffin.
The smooth incision between the neck seemed to have been roasted by high temperature, with smoke rising and blood solidifying.
And Aiden held his silver sword high.
The **** head of Katakaan was embedded in the blade of the sword. His eyes were widened as he recounted the grievances he felt before his death.
“Killing Katakahn, experience value +250, the demon hunter Roy let out a long breath, holding the hilt of the sword in his right hand, the index and middle fingers of his left hand closed together and gently rubbed the dark red sword body.
Unconsciously, the five lit star-shaped runes were all extinguished.
The power of "Gluttony" is greater than he imagined.
With the blessing of the **** sword energy, the ancient vampire was completely unable to stop the sharpness of the sword.
If you accumulate the "Gluttony" runes in advance.
Add flash to close the distance and "shock" the body.
Roy believes that most creatures in this world cannot escape his attack!
Moreover, through this battle, Roy also verified his inner thoughts.
Katakaan is a high-level vampire and has some similarities with high-level vampires, vampire women, and vampire banshees in human form.
For example, although their immortality does not reach the abnormal level - being burned to ashes and then reborn, under normal circumstances, beheading or taking out the heart can no longer eliminate Katakaan.
However, it fell under Roy's sword and had no chance of resurrection.
Its soul and everything about it are absorbed by the template and converted into experience points and nutrients.
……
"Bang!"
Three hands fisted in mid-air.
"Not bad, kid," Lambert gave him a thumbs up, "it didn't hold back the Brotherhood at all!"
"We three brothers cooperate, so what if the high-level vampires are as stupid and clumsy as a piece of wood from beginning to end!"
"Lambert, you should work hard," Aiden squatted down and cooperated with Roy to cut open Katakaan's chest and took out the internal organs. He looked at his friend playfully, "Do as I say, Roy. My skills are no worse than yours. Of course, I am not referring to a swordsmanship test, but a life and death duel."
"With his enchanted Gabriel, the dark red long sword that slashed the air blade just now in his hand, he may not lose to you."
Lambert's expression changed, then he shook his head,
"Do you think I'm stupid? Why do I have to use short strikes and long strikes? To compete, I must use conventional weapons to compete."
"Besides, I am not necessarily the weakest in the brotherhood." Lambert said meaningfully, turning his eyes to Aiden.
"Man, I haven't made a decision yet." The latter rubbed the scar on his chin and shook his head.
"Is he still the same Aiden I know? When did he become so indecisive?" Lambert pushed his chest confidently, "You can't make up your mind even after a month of inspection?"
"Or do you have any dissatisfaction with the brotherhood?"
Aiden said nothing, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
In fact, I have been wandering around all these years, I have been lonely for too long, and I have not joined an organization for too long.
He wasn't sure if he could get used to this kind of collective life.
He still needs to think about it.
Roy ignored the blood ~IndoMTL.com~ took out the large mutation inducer in Katakaan's brain and put it in his arms. The appointment as a senior demon hunter quietly progressed a little further.
"Let's make a bet, man..."
The heterochromatic pupils stared at Aiden’s scarlet eyes,
"If Carl can successfully pass the trial this time."
"It's all destiny, you join the Brotherhood."
"Otherwise, it's up to you to stay."
After a long silence, Aiden said "hmm".
He recalled the scene of those children standing in front of him. It would be a pity for such a brave and sincere child not to be a demon hunter.
Cultivating apprentices is the instinct and mission of all demon hunters, and he is no exception.
He couldn't resist the temptation.
"It all depends on fate."
