Chapter 171: The Light Hunter
From the lords and others, it was learned that this Grand Duke Xia De was one of the four great dukes of the Demon Clan, and he was one of the best collectors in the world, with countless treasures.
Even artifacts that could only be heard in the bard's mouth were included in his collection.
I had heard that the Grand Duke was killing in order to obtain treasures, but I had never seen him take the initiative to give away treasures.
This is a big thing that can be talked about by my family, and even by everyone who knows me!
"Look at the old man, little slave girl." The Grand Duke turned around and stared at Ninia with the solemn eyes characteristic of the superiors, "Without a contract, how can loyalty be guaranteed? He is not faithful and unworthy to receive my treasures."
Despite being surrounded by unbearable coercion and terrifying aura for ordinary people, Ninia, who had long been trained by the same Chaos Demons, was unmoved.
The oppression of chaos is not a threat to her, but a force that can be taken for herself.
Besides, under any circumstances, he should not show fear of others in front of the lord, which would not be in line with the way of knighthood and make the master's face disgraceful.
"I swore an oath, honorable archduke." Ninia replied without humility or arrogance, "I swore to the gods."
"Oaths are often betrayed, so we believe in curses more," a mocking smile appeared on the archduke's thin face, "I can't break my promise to my nephew, there happens to be a weapon that suits you well."
"What kind of weapon?" Vincent asked curiously, "Can the demon weapon withstand her growing power of light?"
"Not only can they bear it, but they are also willing to eat it, and they are insatiable." The Grand Duke replied conceitedly, "Have you ever heard of Durantica the Lightless Blade?"
In addition to Ninia, whether it was the two brothers of the demon clan or the great magician La Nina, their faces changed when they heard this name.
The confused little village girl looked at the group of characters, not knowing what they were shocked.
But even so, she could appreciate how extraordinary that weapon was.
The Lightless Blade sounds like a creation that belongs to the Demon Race, but why does even a Great Demon Race like Vincent have a strange look at it?
"Little slave girl, do you often feel sorry for your lack of strength, but you can't do anything about it?" The Grand Duke asked Ninia in the usual words of many demons when they tempted people to fall, "Even if you have divine favors, you are still not strong enough."
As he spoke, he pointed to the two delicate leather cases on the belt around Ninia's waist.
"This power comes from charity, and charity never lasts forever."
Ninia's stubborn expression involuntarily surfaced again, and the golden light gradually enveloped her whole body.
"Divine power like child's play, useless without the nourishment of chaos, are you smug?"
The Grand Duke stretched out his hand contemptuously, and a depressing and dizzying power flashed like lightning, and the power of light on the girl's body suddenly disappeared.
Ninia hadn't been so frightened and panicked since she was captured by Vincent.
"Give yourself a chance to become truly strong." Grand Duke Xia De didn't seem to see Ninia, who was trembling, and said in the same tone, "I'm a demon, don't believe that I will help you at any cost, if you don't know what kind of weapon it is, you can ask my nephew, and then decide."
Vincent breathed a sigh of relief, the Grand Duke was still very understanding.
It wasn't until the Grand Duke had left that Vincent began to explain to a frustrated Ninia what the Aphotic Blade was.
Durandica is not the name of the Aphotic Blade, but the name of the owner of the Aphotic Blade.
As a famous swordsman on the continent more than two hundred years ago, Durandica continued to practice swordsmanship with his incomparable talent, and did everything possible to challenge the famous warriors of all continents and defeat them one by one.
The invincible swordsman Durandica, who has been tempered and defeated countless opponents, has no rivals in all countries and races, and the bored swordsman actually has an absurd and arrogant idea that he wants to challenge the gods.
The gods do not intervene directly on the earth, but they are not without nothing on the earth, all kinds of temples and shrines
The apostle of the priesthood became the target of Durandica.
The most powerful god of light and order is the primary target of the invincible swordsman, and he does not forget to humiliate the faith of the powerful Templar Guardians when defeating them.
"There's no light here, why believe in a god who makes you powerless and helpless?"
As the killing and destruction intensified, Durandica went from being a lost man to a sadist, his sword becoming darker and darker, and no matter how he wiped it, he earned him the title of "Aphotic Blade".
However, the blasphemy of the Light could not last forever, and the Church of Light and Order and the nations that believed in the Light regarded Durandica as a mortal enemy, sent troops to hunt him down, and vowed to eradicate it with a large reward among the people.
Faced with a net instead of a sword duel, Durandica's situation became more and more difficult, and finally encountered the eighteen Chosen Warriors of the Church while he was still injured.
These Chosen Warriors are already the elite of the apostles, each of them has special protection, some have excellent combat effectiveness, some are still mages, and Durandika is equivalent to fighting directly with the earthly power of the gods.
After a thrilling battle, he was defeated by the siege with the power of mortal limits, and when he was dying, he felt the power of the gods, but it was too late.
Between life and death, he saw the power of chaos deeper than darkness and purer than death.
The fallen Durandica kills the Chosen and becomes the Chosen of Chaos who can only survive by devouring the Light, and as a "Light Hunter", he uses the cursed magic sword "Lightless Blade" to take revenge on the Light.
"Why haven't I ever heard of the Lighthunter and the Lightless Blade?" Ninia asked, surprised, "You all know such legends, but I've never heard of them."
"Because it took the church a hundred years to annihilate everything about him among the people." Vincent shrugged and spread his hands, "Of course, as a top nobleman and scholar, you can still find it from the sealed ancient documents."
"This...... The sad lighthunter finally ...... It's not going to work......
Ninia felt like she had said something that would be ridiculed by Vincent, for the Church was still in full swing, and the fallen Light Hunters were nowhere to be found.
"The Lighthunter swore to devour all the light and destroy the foundations of the Church, but eighty years ago, he withdrew and sealed the remnants of his soul in a weapon before his soul was disillusioned," Vincent recounted, "Finally, a collector got his hands on the weapon and considered giving it to someone who could handle it."
Do you seem to have fallen to the point where even demons approve of it?
Ninia didn't think so.
The girl peeked at the demon lord who was telling her story, and felt less confident in herself who listened to it with relish.
"But isn't he an invincible swordsman? If you have gained the favor of the gods, you should be even stronger, how can you give up?"
It was La Niña who asked the question this time, and from her confused expression, Vincent could tell that she didn't know Durandicca's final whereabouts.
This is the problem of the aristocracy's lack of learning and the academic misconduct of the Academy of Magic.
