The Guild Master of Demon Hunters that the Empire is Obsessed With

10 – Picking up an abandoned healer (4)

It smells, it smells.

I can smell blood from a place about two hundred meters away from here in the direction of one o’clock.

It’s not devil’s blood, it’s the smell of normal animal blood.

If this can be felt from the street, there must be a gourd of blood spilled on the scene.

Perhaps they ate the stolen livestock there.

Even though it’s not the demon’s blood, it can’t be branded as a hunting dog, but since it’s direction has been specified, you should be able to find it.

“I found it. It’s not far from here.”

“Then let’s go quickly.”

I shook my head at the saintess’ words.

“Wait a little longer. I lost sight for a moment while maximizing my other senses.”

At that, the priests started whispering and saying nonsensical things like ‘a pact with the devil’.

Even the priests who should be familiar with demons seem to know very little about demon hunters.

As soon as his sight returned, he stood up and pointed in the corresponding direction.

“It’s over there. We have to go before sunset, so let’s run.”

As I ran forward, the priests hurriedly started running after me.

It was difficult to run that fast because trees and stones that came out of nowhere kept blocking the way.

If you take an elixir, you can destroy them all, but if you do, it’s a bit burdensome to take an additional elixir when you meet a demon.

I also have to lead those weak priests.

As I continued to make my way through the thicket, the faint smell of blood began to intensify.

Looking around, I saw blood splattered all over the floor and tree branches.

I went a little further and soon the thing I was looking for appeared in front of me.

It was a white horse bone.

It was so cleanly eaten that there was hardly any flesh left.

“Heo-euk, heo-euk… I’m going to die…”

The priests, who had become a mess from running through the dense forest, put their hands on their knees and gasped for breath.

The saintess too took a deep breath, wiping the sweat from her forehead with her fly.

“Is this… The place where the devil is…?”

“No. This is where the devil stopped by.”

I picked up a piece of bone that had fallen on the floor and examined it closely.

Looking at the number and shape of the gnawed teeth marks, as expected, it is a medium-sized demon over five meters.

At that size, there’s no place to hide near Shlesi except in the mountains.

Then where are you hiding?

Definitely not here.

Even demons have their own intelligence, so they don’t like having their nest dirty with the flesh and blood of their prey.

I’m sure he went back to his lair after eating a delicious horse here.

I was thinking about using Blind Gaze again, but decided to stop.

If you use it twice in a row, it may be difficult because the time for your eyesight to return is too long.

It’s enough to use the skill, let’s use the experience to track it down.

It’s not very common for a medium-sized demon over 5 meters to hide.

There’s absolutely no way it’s just lying around in the woods, it’s probably somewhere in a rock crevice or cave.

There is no place for a natural bedrock of that size… There it is.

The cliffs burning red with the last light of the setting sun came into view.

There seems to be a high possibility that there is nothing particularly visible around it.

If there’s no one there, then we should go downstairs and set up an ambush at the ranch.

The grazing land was so large that I was going to follow the trail here and deal with it.

Let’s go for now.

“Okay, let’s go over there.”

“Can’t we just rest for a bit?”

“If you want to face the devil in the middle of the night, so be it.”

The priests who complained about my words kept their mouths shut.

The saintess, who was wiping the sweat from her forehead, cleared her throat and resolutely opened her mouth.

“Take the lead, brother.”

“Follow me.”

I ran again and heard priests dying behind me.

* * * * *

By the time we got closer to the cliff, the sun had already set and it was starting to get dark.

Looking up at the sky, the western sky with my back turned purple, and stars poking their heads out in the eastern sky.

It was a way to hunt demons, but it was a truly beautiful scenery.

Now, in a few hours, the huge Milky Way will begin to entwine the sky with countless stars.

The night sky in the Grand Test Empire was always bleak and gloomy, as if it had been burned with ink.

Hiding a healing map like the Duchy of Nantes in a damn dark fantasy game is a godsend for the manufacturer.

If it wasn’t for this, the life of the possessed would have been really bleak.

In an empire where there is always fog and crows fly around and corpses are scattered all over the place, even if you live just one year, you’ll get a mental illness.

Of course, demon hunters have a mental defense passive skill called ‘last bastion’, so there is no such thing as mental illness.

By the way, what is the content of the expansion pack?

All I did was spread a trailer video and some concept art to make it tantalizing.

Except for the resurrection of the great devil, everything is not official and it is only speculation by users, so it is impossible to know exactly.

I wonder if a new boss will appear following the Great Devil.

As in the famous game Deavolo, all sorts of things crawled out while talking about the older brother of the great devil in the sequel.

Anyway, it’s a demon catching game, so when the expansion pack opens, the demons will come out, and then our guild will sit on the money cushion.

They beat up the cubs of the Great Devil and pay a high price for the small fish while hunting little by little.

Before that, the wandering demon hunters also had to inquire a little and prepare in advance.

While thinking about this and that, I climbed right up to the cliff.

Aha, that must be it.

There was a huge crack at the bottom of the cliff.

Width enough for an elephant to comfortably fit into.

A very good place to hide a medium-sized demon.

I hid myself in the bush and beckoned to her saintess.

“See over there? There must be a devil over there.”

However, the saintess could not answer properly.

I was in no situation to say anything as I was sweating like rain and gasping for breath.

Why do you sweat so much?

At that moment, one of the priests suddenly came forward and spoke up.

“Now, Brother, step back. We’ll take care of it.”

I wondered what he was doing, and it was the middle-aged priest who had been fighting against the saint at the ranch earlier.

“Retreat? What are you going to do with the priests?”

“I will destroy the devil and bring justice to the world.”

“Really? But you have to go in with the priests to die. Talk to me first…”

“Stay away, stay.”

The middle-aged priest gave strength to each syllable.

Ha? Can you see that guy? What are you doing in front of a priest and a saint?

“The Wardens… Why don’t we listen to Brother Leonard…”

The priest and I were glaring at each other when the saintess interrupted.

A warden? It’s the first time I’ve heard of such a position, what is it?

“He’s an expert in demon hunting. So he listens first and then…”

“Is the saintess willing to hand over the sacred duty of exorcising demons to demon hunters?”

“No, that’s not it…”

Surprisingly, the saintess dropped her head.

Halo The saintess shows that kind of attitude towards the priest?

Something was a bit unsettling at the ranch earlier, but it seemed like there was something there.

“Then rise now and come forward, brethren. A holy priest must stand tall in the face of evil.”

From noble mtl dot com

Then the other priests stood up hesitantly and started walking out of the bush.

“Saintess. What is it? Stop that. If you leave it as it is, everyone will die!”

“I’m sorry, Brother Leonard…. Leave it to us from now on…”

Then the saintess also staggered to her feet and started walking towards the cliff.

No, what is it really?

I was about to get up to try to dissuade them, but a middle-aged priest named Warden suddenly started shouting.

“Reveal yourselves immediately, you wicked fiend! The Sacred Priests of the Abstinence Sect have come to purify you!”

Are you such a crazy bastard?

“Shut up your mouth, you crazy bastard!!”

But before I could jump forward, a demon came out of the crack with red flames.

The demon is, as I expected, a medium-sized demon.

It was much stronger and more menacing than I thought.

About five meters tall, with broad shoulders and a thick waist, and terrifying claws sprouted from his large hands.

The skin is, to say the least, the color of a thick paper.

The scales sprouted wildly, the horns sprouted here and there, and the red burning eyes were quite bloody.

Is that all?

The tip of its long, snake-like tail is a lump of thick, hard bone.

If you collide there, it will immediately become pork cutlet hit with a meat hammer.

“Saintess! Unfold the divine shield!!”

“Quaaagh!!”

At the same time as I shouted, the priests in the lead were hit by the tail and turned to blood.

[Zal vrekel venzog Da t’vor farsaz kha’ti gon krosa!!

The devil who wiped out half of the priests with a single flick of his tail screamed wildly.
