The Divine Hunter Chapter 7: Skeletons in the coffin

, the fastest update to the latest chapter of God-level Demon Hunter!

Dark tomb.

The two witchers held the silver sword back to back and remained alert with all their concentration.

The firelight flickered, illuminating a few lingering green shadows.

They kept flashing out of the air, letting out short and hollow howls, and then quickly disappearing into the shadows, as elusive as ghosts.

The demon hunter tried his best to catch the green color, and the demon spirits appeared and disappeared, but their appearance was accompanied by the surging air and the whistling wind, and there were traces to follow.

After feeling it carefully for a moment, the bald man's eyes darkened, he stretched out four fingers behind his back to signal, and then lightly touched his companion behind him - his two hands invariably grabbed the alchemy bomb around his waist.

"Bang, bang,"

A dull sound erupted, white phosphorus flashed, and a dazzling cloud of dust rose up in the tomb. Then, four green demon spirits appeared from the air. Their translucent bodies flickered unsteadily, but were covered by the moon. The dust is tightly bound and cannot be hidden.

Roy held Arondette horizontally and jumped forward to approach the two demon spirits.

Then using the left toe as the center of gravity, he deflected his body and struck out with a heavy sword.

But without the suppression of Arden's seal, the demon spirit showed extraordinary speed. Its translucent body floated backwards lightly to avoid the demon hunter's sword, and then took advantage of the opponent's exhaustion and struck out with a burst. Counterattack with a double-team from left to right!

The demon spirit fell to the ground like a meteor, rushing in front of Roy from top to bottom. At the same time, its body rotated like a top, and the lanterns and daggers in both hands turned into sharp saw teeth, constantly scratching the demon hunter's hands. The sword blade caused chaotic sparks and a series of friction sounds that made the gums sore.

Roy felt a numbness in the tiger's mouth, and the sword almost came out of his hand. He retreated quickly and took two nimbly steps to the side, passing by his companions behind him.

The bald man took over his opponent.

Roy took a deep breath, grabbed Gabriel with his left hand, and shot an arrow at the lonely demon spirit wandering in the distance.

The space rippled, and his body turned into nothingness. The next second, he appeared strangely behind the third demon spirit that was alone.

"Swish, swish, swish" Alondette, who was covered in sword oil, struck several times in succession like lightning, across the demon spirit's defenseless neck, chest, abdomen and lower limbs.

The latter screamed unwillingly and turned into smoke.

Before the demon hunter had time to breathe, another strong gust of wind came from the dark corridor. He quickly deflected the blade to block it, and immediately felt a pain in his left shoulder - the sneak attack demon directly broke through the Kun En seal. There was a **** **** on his shoulder.

"Damn it!" Roy struggled to swing away the demon spirit in front of him with his sword, and glanced at the wound. The wound was like a baby's mouth, and it hurt just to look at it.

But the long-term training between life and death made him calm down quickly. He did not rush forward recklessly, but skillfully used sword skills and seals to deal with it, and beat the last monster to death.

"Kill demon spirits, experience value +60, Demon Hunter LV5 (1060/3500)"

Leisuo's battle also came to an end, and he was slowly sheathing his swords. The two demon spirits failed to cause him any harm, but his breathing was rapid and most of his physical strength and magic power were consumed.

"Little devil, how are you injured?"

Roy applied some marigold medicine to the wound, and then felt a sharp sting and frowned. However, after the pain passed, an extreme cooling feeling quickly spread, and he moved again. Lower shoulders. "Skin trauma, nothing serious."

"That's good..." Lei Suo knelt down and began to clean the battlefield.

"This is already the fifth wave of demon attacks we have encountered, and there is still no whereabouts of Kolgrim."

"Almost," the big man paused, looking at the dark corridor ahead, a touch of sadness appeared on his face, "we can only go deep into this tomb safely by fighting side by side, but Kolgrim is alone. At this point, the magic power and physical energy are almost exhausted. In addition, according to the layout of the tomb we have seen before, there are a total of fifteen tomb chambers in the tomb, and this is the eleventh one... We are about to go to the end."

"Let's rest for a while and recharge ourselves. I hope there won't be any big guys in the end."

……

The road that followed was unexpectedly calm, and the two of them did not encounter any demons blocking their way.

The fifteenth tomb is twice the size of the previous tomb. In the center lie four sarcophagi, which bury the direct blood relatives of the contemporary lord Ignatius Villiers within two generations.

But strangely, after a cursory inspection, the witcher did not see any exposed bones, and the whereabouts of Kolgrim's body were still unknown.

The two glanced at the coffins in the tomb.

"Could it be that Kolgrim is lying inside?" Roy's voice was slightly weak, and he couldn't think of other possibilities.

"You and I both understand that demon spirits do not like to collect the corpses of the dead. It is also impossible for them to deliberately put the people they killed into coffins."

"What's going on?"

"Shhh——" Leisuo gestured, "Listen carefully..."

"Huh-huh-"

"Is this...wind?"

At some point, a howling cold wind blew in from the corridor outside the tomb, and it sounded like someone in the shadows in the distance was whistling strangely.

The firelight in the tomb trembled wildly, and the shadows of the two demon hunters on the wall seemed to be pulled by a big invisible hand, growing and shortening.

There was a suffocating silence.

Roy couldn't help but shrink his neck and subconsciously placed a Quen Seal on himself.

"It's already night outside?"

"I always feel that something is wrong. Be careful..." Leisuo warned, "Check the tomb chamber and don't move any coffins."

……

Leso was responsible for the coffins on the outer walls, while Roy inspected the four coffins in the central area.

Handling the first coffin, he discovered something unusual.

That is a thin line across the gray-white surface of the coffin. It is very thin and shallow. You will definitely miss it if you are not paying attention. Roy quickly determined that it was a sword mark, but the initiator had very little strength, or it could be said that his strength had declined to the point where it was barely there.

"John Villiers, 1206-1255, died of consumption at the age of forty-nine. Son: Ignatius Villiers...Wife: Mary Villiers."

"It seems that this coffin is the father of the contemporary lord." Roy continued browsing.

"Mary Villiers, 1210-1259, died in childbirth at the age of forty-nine..." This was the lord's mother.

"Florian Villires, 1243-1257, died of suffocation at the age of fourteen..." This was the lord's son.

"My parents and son all died. Is this a bad retribution for Ignatius?"

Roy muttered.

The last coffin had no name on it, and no date of birth or death was recorded. Only one sentence was engraved on it, "My poor child fell asleep forever before he had time to take a look at the world."

Whose child is the unknown coffin? Why is there no record at all?

Roy rubbed his temples, gradually forgetting his fear, "He didn't have time to see the world, which means he died as soon as he was born? Could it be that he is the child of Marie Villiers, and Marie had a difficult delivery with this child? Died too?"

The more Roy thought about it, the more it made sense. He checked the dates of several coffins, and then accidentally deduced another surprising fact.

“The lord’s mother, Mary, died in childbirth in 1259, but the lord’s father, Old John, was gone in 1255. There is no doubt that Mary had an affair, became pregnant with someone else’s child, and made old John a cuckold. ”

"It's a pity that she didn't make it through. Because she was too old and her body was too old, she died of dystocia."

Roy was still thinking, but Leisuo had already checked the surrounding area and found nothing.

"Have you found any clues?"

"Come quietly, I discovered an interesting situation."

……

After listening to Roy's story, Lei Suo disagreed.

"It's normal for a lord's wife to have a corrupt private life and have some affairs. But don't pay attention to such boring things!"

"I also found a clue!" Roy pointed out a few sword marks on the coffin, "Who was Kolgrim fighting near here?"

The two of them followed the sword marks and found a path between the coffins left by a human body crawling against the ground, but it had almost disappeared over time. Only the demon hunter's extraordinary perception can detect it.

This path leads all the way to Marie Villiers' coffin.

"I have a hunch that Kolgrim's body is inside..." Roy murmured to himself, and Letso gestured to him, and the two of them surrounded Mary's coffin on the left and right.

Then, Leisuo kicked the coffin board hard. With a sound of "娇——", the coffin was opened, and the two of them hunched over as if facing a powerful enemy. The seal in his hand was ready to go, but after waiting for a moment, there was no movement.

They took a look and saw a skeleton lying alone in the coffin. He was wearing a pair of tattered black leather armor, and the exposed parts had completely turned into bones, making his appearance unrecognizable.

The clothes on the corpse were almost torn into strips, and the chest, abdomen and sleeves were full of holes. It was obvious that it had been attacked intensively. There was also a long sword lying next to the body.

It has a straight-shaped sword grid, the sword body is slender, and the central spine of the sword is slightly raised outwards, forming a triangular straight line with the sword blades on both sides.

Having been covered in dust for two years, it is a bit dusty and unremarkable.

Lesuo picked up the sword, held the hilt with one hand, and held the tip of the sword diagonally with the other. He tilted his head and observed along the spine of the sword for a moment, then put it down and sighed.

"The stainless steel sword used by the old man."

"Is he Kolgrim?" Roy remained alert.

Lesuo didn't answer. He silently picked up the pendant on the corpse's chest and waved it in front of his eyes, forming an exquisite snake shape.

Then he picked up a tibia and weighed it in his hands. "The bone density of a demon hunter is half higher than that of an ordinary person, and it is much heavier. Even after two years, you can still tell the difference."

"How did Korgrim die?"

"There are no obvious scars on the bones, it's hard to see now..."

As Lei Suo spoke, he took the entire corpse out of the coffin, examined it carefully, and found an animal skin drawing and a yellowed letter from the cloth bag on his waist.

"Yours sincerely: Ivar Evil Eye, Grand Master Demon Hunter of the School of Serpents.

I have now found the legendary blueprint that once belonged to our school, but now I am running into a little trouble. On my way back to the castle, I stayed one night in a small village in the Temerian countryside. The **** villagers used me as a scapegoat for kidnapping some beekeeper's kid. ”

“They took me to the local lord’s castle for interrogation. One blueprint was found and confiscated by them. But don’t be nervous, I will get it back. They didn’t find any other blueprints.

I quoted the local legal system of Temeria and asked to accept trial and trial instead of being dominated by the will of the knight. My request has been accepted. Tomorrow I will enter Sir's family tomb and purge the evil spirits inside.

I don't expect any problems and perhaps I've returned to the castle by the time you receive this letter. Letho, Oaks, Seret, light up the furnaces - I'm getting ready to start forging!

Kolgrim"

"Kolgrim."

Lesuo hummed, and there was a glimmer of water in Amber's eyes~IndoMTL.com~ He took out a bottle of liquor from the space ring,

"Brother, I will take you home...I'll give you a drink first..." The big man drank half the bottle with a raise of his rock-knotted arm.

With a mouth full of alcohol, he poured the remaining half bottle of wine in front of his eyes.

For a while, in the quiet tomb, there was only the sound of "pattering" and strong wine spilling on the bones.

Roy clutched the animal skin blueprint tightly and stared at the scene in front of him, feeling an unspeakable sadness in his heart.

This is the fate of most demon hunters - buried in a foreign land, turned into a bunch of nameless bones, without even a tombstone.

The two men stared side by side at the remains and observed a few minutes of silence.

Then, the young man's eyes swept across the empty coffin. Suddenly, his pupils shrank and his back felt cold.

There is only Kolgrim in the coffin, so——

"Where did Mary's body go?"
