The Divine Hunter Chapter 32: The Curse Calls
Long after the sun set, three witchers arrived at Old Vizima.
In the cold night, dust was scattered in the air. On the other side of the bridge, the lights of Vizima changed in the darkness.
Among the ruins of the old palace, there are several ruins, decayed beams, and a tattered fence. There is an uneven stone slab in the central hall, and below it is a dark staircase leading to There is a double sarcophagus in the tomb, which is the coffin in which Yada and her mother were originally buried.
However, the bones in the coffin have been removed, and now there is a demon dormant in it.
There are still some tents set up in a mess around the palace, and there are dense piles of domestic garbage.
That is where homeless refugees live, but due to last night's incident, the knights of White Rose temporarily drove the residents of this area to the temple area.
Now this ruins is completely silent.
In a broken wooden house next to the palace, three demon hunters were calmly and meticulously making preparations at a dirty table.
According to the Warlock, the vampiric bird won't leave her coffin until midnight, so they still have time to prepare.
Roy put the alchemy package on the table, took out a pile of black glass vials, and then he took one from it, and the Oakes brothers each took two.
They tacitly pulled out the sword from the leather strap behind their backs, and then began to apply ointment-like liquid on the sword. When the entire blade surface was covered, they tried to shake their wrists, and the room was filled with pure water. Silver sword light.
After doing all this, Roy recited a vague spell and drank the potion he had taken out before, while the Serrit brothers drank the two bottles of potion one after another.
Then the three wrapped their bodies in gray and black cloaks, closed their eyes, and sat on the ground motionless.
Their breathing began to change from steady to rapid and tense. Under the catalysis of the magic potion, their faces soon changed drastically. They were pale and bloodless. They were full of earthworm-like purple-black blood vessels, and their irises were completely damaged. Replaced by pupils.
But their eyes penetrated the thickest darkness and began to reflect the faint light.
……
"Click——" Not far away, in the center of the palace hall, there was a slight scraping sound, which was lighter than a mosquito, but the demon hunters heard it clearly. It was the friction of the sarcophagus lid being pushed.
After a few seconds, the large stone slab blocking the entrance to the tomb was lifted to the side, and a deformed monster jumped out.
Foltest's description is exactly the same.
On her stubby neck was a large, disproportionately large head, covered with tangled red hair, and her eyes were shining red in the dark like a wild beast.
Although she is called a vampire bird, her appearance has nothing to do with a bird. Instead, she looks like a muscular humanoid beast, still retaining some of her pre-transformation features.
For example, the tall and straight female features are like two water bags.

……
“Hiss—this attribute is even more powerful than Master Berengar!”
Roy was extremely lucky to have called two companions this time.
The monster bird suddenly began to scream. The terrifying and crazy howl tore through the night sky, causing the old palace walls to shake. The sound was high and low, trembling, as if it was venting something. Depressed emotions...
Then its cruel gaze collided with the three pairs of gazes waiting outside the palace, and was fixed on Roy. A confused expression appeared on its ugly and ferocious face. It seemed to still retain a trace of memory, and it seemed to retain a trace of memory. Consider who this familiar face is.
But soon, the human nature in the demon bird's body was completely overwhelmed by the animal nature. It opened its mouth ferociously at the demon hunter, revealing a mouth of shark-like white teeth, and then made a "click" sound, as if in demonstration, and the blood flowed out. The jaws snap together quickly.
It rushed over with both feet, making no sound as it ran, like a gust of wind.
The three demon hunters faced it and formed the Seal of Arden calmly. Circles of dreamy purple light appeared on the ground, marking a restricted area.
The purple halo of light was like a cage. As soon as the demon bird rushed into it, its body visibly sluggished, as if it had suddenly fallen from the flat ground into a swamp, its speed slowed down a lot, and a pair of dagger-like figures appeared. The sharp claws naturally flew into the air.
The three of them took the opportunity to jump outside the magic circle, and circled it clockwise in three different directions, with the tip of their swords always pointed at it, like three cunning leopards, cooperating to hunt a huge bull.
The demonic bird let out a low roar, swung its pointed head, and observed the three demon hunters with slightly confused eyes. Finally, its scarlet eyes locked on Roy, and its oozing fangs began to drip disgustingly. of saliva.
The first impression made it choose the weakest witcher as food.
Roy was not in a hurry, and flexibly circled a semicircle facing it. With his sometimes fast and sometimes slow steps, he disrupted the rhythm of the demon bird and made it temporarily unable to find a suitable time to take off.
Then, when it tensed its body and was about to take off, the Serrit brothers from the other two directions stabbed two swords behind it like lightning. The tip of the sword pierced its calf, and it retreated as soon as it touched, leading it out. Half of blood.
The sacred silver and the layer of sword oil on the witcher's weapon can cause additional damage and burning pain to the vampire bird.
The demon bird was in pain, and instantly abandoned its original target, turned around with a scream, and bared its teeth at the Oakes brothers.
But its poor brain couldn't figure it out. This was playing into the demon hunter's hands, and when it turned around, the flaw on the other side was exposed again.
Arondette danced in Roy's hand with a dazzling sword light in the dark night. The next moment, smack, smack, smack, three swords swiped across the monster bird's back.
Since he did not want to take the life of the demon bird, the demon hunter spared his force, but the sword of the Lake Girl was so sharp that it ripped open the demon bird's skin and flesh, and shed a shower of dazzling blood.
The demon bird's red hair began to tremble with anger, howling angrily, and constantly making harsh noises.
However, it was of no avail. No matter which direction it showed its intention to attack the demon hunters, it would be severely beaten by the remaining two demon hunters in an instant.
Although the vampire bird itself is powerful and can cause huge trouble to the demon hunters when fighting alone, it has no power to resist under the encirclement and suppression of three demon hunters.
The Seal of Arden disappears, and the demon hunter quickly replaces it. This cycle repeats, always leaving the monster "deep in the quagmire."
It could only struggle weakly, but soon, the gray stone-like body was scratched with dense wounds by different sword blades. Although they were not critical, and the location was not deep into the flesh, there was a huge amount of thick blood. It slipped along these wounds and dripped a shallow layer on the ground.
Under the moonlight, the blood shows a black luster, which is strangely beautiful.
Due to excessive blood loss, the vampire bird's movements began to slow down, its strength weakened, and its eyes were no longer so fierce. It finally realized the crisis, and its survival instinct made it look at the gap between the three demon hunters and jump with all its strength.
However, what greeted it was the Witcher's Alder Sign.
A loud "bang" sound exploded in the empty palace, and the strong impact was like a head-on blow, pushing the vampire bird back into the magic circle.
The vampire bird let out the weakest howl since the fight. It staggered and fell to the ground, moaning like a **** begging for mercy.
Ochs' eyes froze, "Hey! Guys, is this thing begging us for mercy? Have we gone too far? She is also a princess, and three grown men are beating up a little girl..."
"Okay, don't give me any pretense," Seret returned the sword to its sheath and untied a long and heavy silver chain from the back of his waist with a heavy object hanging at the end. "If I really want to help Yada, I'll lift her curse as soon as possible!"
A few people moved in unison and each untied a silver chain.
The moment the vampire bird climbed up, three silver chains whizzed through the air, coiled up like long snakes, and wrapped around the monster bird's shoulders and neck.
The demonic bird shuddered and began to struggle desperately, but the three demon hunters quickly circled around it, wrapping the silver chain around its body again and again. Soon, it was tied into a rice dumpling and fell to the ground, with only a ferocious head exposed, completely losing the ability to move.
At night, a series of feeble wails sounded. This was the only thing the vampire bird could do.
"Be good, be quiet." Roy tied his chain in a knot, walked up to the demon bird, and touched her head. The hair was unexpectedly prickly.
Then the witcher spent a long time pulling out its tongue from its ferocious mouthparts and observed the bottom of the tongue.
"grayba..."
As expected, the blood-sucking demon bird has a black Greba brand tattooed on the bottom of its tongue.
"What's going on, Roy?" Brother Oaks also came over curiously.
"Remember those two bat-winged demons? They also have this mark on them. This is the method used by the disciples of the God of Omen to control monsters." Roy said coldly.
"Abigail!" Seret suddenly shouted, "The recurrence of the princess curse must have something to do with this believer of the God of Omens!"
Roy nodded, "Sooner or later, I have to find that insidious woman and ask questions, but not now. By the way, don't mention this matter to anyone."
……
There were almost three hours before dawn, and Foltest's royal advisor arrived belatedly.
The three warlocks all looked shocked when they looked at the huge creature that was more than two meters tall and tied into a rice dumpling.
"The snake sect witchers from the south are indeed worthy of their reputation." Triss Merigold carefully examined several witchers and quickly confirmed that they were completely uninjured. Except for the slight sweat on their foreheads, nothing happened. .
The treatment methods she originally prepared were useless.
Keira Metz looked at the Oakes brothers with brilliant eyes. She did not expect that the big-minded demon hunter's fighting ability was even better than their skills in bed. "Look at this unique binding method. A bloodthirsty and ugly monster has been **** alive into a shining silver cutie."
Her tender palms suddenly burst into wet sweat, and she inexplicably imagined such a scene in her mind. In the dark night, in the quiet open space, two men and one woman are tied up
"How would it feel to have these chains tied to him, or to me?" When Keira Metz thought of this, she couldn't help but secretly cross her legs.
"Thank you for your hard work tonight, three masters..." Feikat interrupted the sorceress's reverie, "Leave the rest to us."
The three warlocks began to cast spells on the weak vampire bird.
They used the blood readily available on the ground as paint to trace spells on the monster bird's ferocious head.
Tadpole-like spells crawled all over the vampire bird's face, and gradually covered the silver chains that bound it. Most of them were in ancient languages, but also in Elliron language, and some other variants.
After working hard for half an hour, the three warlocks summoned strong elemental power and penetrated these spells. As the spell took effect, the monster bird's ugly face became extremely quiet, its breathing became smooth and steady, and not long after, its chest began to rise and fall regularly, and it fell asleep.
The warlocks breathed a sigh of relief, with obvious sweat on their faces.
"You three, you have to carry the princess back to the tomb..."
The witchers did as they were told.
The tomb under the palace is about the same size as a bedroom in the palace, but except for a double sarcophagus with the lid lifted in the center, it is empty and empty.
Even the candlesticks and torches have been taken away.
The warlocks used magic to create torches that illuminated the entire tomb, and then asked the demon hunters to stuff Yada, who was bound by silver chains, into the coffin in the center of the tomb. There was actually a lot of space left.
Then, the demon hunter Roy also lay down next to the monster. Due to his height, he only reached the monster's chest and did not have to face its ugly head.
Someone thoughtfully closed the coffin lid for him, and the space suddenly fell into darkness, with only a gap for breathing.
"Hey, Roy!" Oaks yelled, "Lying next to you is the noble Princess Temeria. You have to be careful with your head when you touch her!"
"Get out! If you have the ability, do it. Are you willing to do it?!"
"Ahem..." Feikat interrupted the witcher's nonsense and handed a kerosene lamp and an hourglass through the cracks in the coffin. "Master Roy, I have wronged you. As long as you stay with me inside." The evil bird... No, the princess will lie down until the third dawn, and the curse will completely leave the princess."
"Don't worry, our spell will keep the princess in a coma until she returns to her human form. There will always be someone outside to protect you."
Triss's voice interrupted, "Roy, His Majesty said that if a life-threatening accident occurs, you can leave the coffin first! He will not blame you!"
"Take care of yourself!"
"Understood!" The witcher raised the hourglass in front of his eyes. In the dim coffin, he could only see a vague outline, but that was enough.
Golfin Black Cat was hidden in the wild by the witcher. If there was any danger, he would teleport back directly.
"Three days, just meditate..." The demon hunter finally turned around and looked at the vampire bird, feeling its steady breathing, and his vision gradually disappeared into nothingness.
He entered meditation.
……
When the witcher woke up from meditation for the fourth time, all the sand in the hourglass drained to the bottom.
This shows that the promised third dawn has quietly arrived. ~IndoMTL.com~ He was not busy with activities, but closed his eyes and listened for a while. He heard a gentle breathing, turned his face, and the huge creature chained by silver chains around him was no longer there, replaced by a naked man. woman.
Dark red hair covered most of her fair and pretty face, and her lips were pale and dry due to lack of water. In the chains, most of her bumpy figure was covered, leaving half of her fair and firm body vaguely exposed.
She felt the movement of the witcher,
"Roy!?"
"It's me..." The witcher lit a kerosene lamp with a miniature version of Igni, and Yada murmured and rubbed her eyes in the light of the fire.
"I just woke up, what on earth is this place? Where am I?"
"Have you forgotten, princess..." Roy took off his leather armor with difficulty and handed it to the woman, "Your curse recurred before, but it is over. The curse has completely left you."
"Let's go," the witcher said softly, "it's time to go home."
