Chapter 118: Bloodstone and Faith, the One Who Forges Our Sword
The Negro raised his hand to Mrs. Verusa and asked, "Bloodstone is finally being taken, and we are finally winning the right to snatch, may I ask what is her role?" ”
The black man asked, pointing at Elsa.
"Don't tell me she's qualified to be part of this game too."
The Asian man also agreed with the black man, "He has a point, does this lady have any medals?" ”
"Maybe you should check your ass."
Elsa said unceremoniously to the black man.
Lady Verusa interrupted several people and said in a loud voice, "Elsa is eligible to join, and she is a target for monsters like all of you. ”
"This shouldn't be happening!"
Hearing that Elsa had also joined the hunt, the black man immediately objected, "You said that she was stripped of her inheritance. ”
"Although her inheritance is denied, she has the right to fair play, everyone here has a fair chance to play, and Elsa will not enjoy any privileges, she is the same as you."
After a pause, she looked around at the people present and continued to ask, "Are there any more questions?" ”
"I have a question."
Peter raised his hand, and under the surprised gazes of those present, he slowly stood up and asked, "Since you said that everyone present has the opportunity to participate, then that means that I can also participate, right?" ”
"You?"
Seeing Peter stand up, Mrs. Verusa was stunned.
She didn't expect that an unrelated person like Peter would want to be involved.
"Hey, boy, this isn't some Halloween joke."
The Asian man with a tattooed face shouted at Peter.
Elsa, who was sitting in the middle of the hall, also had a serious expression.
Although she didn't know each other well, Peter gave her the Bloodstone shards, which helped her indirectly.
She didn't want to watch the other party die.
"If you can prove that you once hunted those monsters, I wouldn't object to you joining."
Lady Verusa said slowly.
A sharp gaze shot out of her eyes, scanning over Peter.
As if he wanted to see the true secret of his heart.
"That."
Peter casually pointed to the vampire heads on the wall and said, "I killed them once." ”
"How much?"
“69。”
Peter named a number.
After hearing the number he said, everyone looked at him in silence.
The man in Eastern European appearance and vampire costume looked at Peter with a gloomy expression.
“69?”
Lady Verusa looked at Peter in surprise, she didn't expect that the ordinary person she knew was actually a vampire hunter, and she had hunted 69 vampires.
Although there was considerable skepticism about what Peter said, she nodded after a moment of contemplation.
"Since you have such a proud record, then, you are welcome to join this hunt."
With that, she asks the butler to put away the Bloodstone and tells all the participants to wait in the back garden.
Elsa walked directly in front of Peter, grabbed his clothes, and glared at him: "You think this is a Halloween celebration?" People are bored playing the role of monster hunters and running under the chase of monsters?! ”
"Get out of here! Otherwise, you will die without a place to bury! ”
Peter shook his head in the face of Elsa's warning, "I should have told you earlier, Miss Bloodstone, that I'm also a vampire hunter. ”
"Impossible."
Alyssa, of course, doesn't believe that Peter is some kind of vampire hunter.
She had never seen such a young hunter before, and the temperament of the other party was different from that of those hunters who were rough and full of explosive muscles and the aura of a yin owl.
"Even if you're a vampire hunter, do you think the next person you're going to deal with is a vampire?"
Taking a few deep breaths, Alyssa calmed herself down.
"Nope! If you're going to take part in this bloody game, the next biggest enemy you'll have to face is not monsters, but humans, these are your competitors. ”
She was about to continue to say something, and Madame Verusa had come to the garden.
The long table in the garden is filled with white candles.
The butler brought over the metal basin, and a skull was placed inside.
Several stones of different shapes are placed around the skull.
Everyone reached over and picked a stone, and then used the sequence of numbers on the stone as the order to enter the back garden.
Behind the crowd, Peter picked up a stone and looked at the number engraved on the back.
Characters resembling the Lune script caught his eye.
Elsa, who was standing beside him, saw the word "one" on the stone in Peter's hand, and her expression was a little strange.
She wanted to exchange the stone in her hand for Peter's hand.
After all, the first to enter is the most dangerous.
As a result, Madame Verusa interrupted her movements, motioned for the crowd, and showed the text on the back of the stone.
"You go first, and the others enter in turn according to the order of the words drawn."
Lady Verusa said to Peter after confirming the rune script in Peter's hand.
Peter nodded, wandered his gaze over the group, and then turned and walked towards the dark garden.
Such a fun Halloween performance, he somewhat regretted not bringing Gwen with him.
No, if Gwen comes, I'm sure she'll be scared again, like in a museum.
He remembered Gwen's embarrassment and fear in the face of the monster, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
Elsa took advantage of the crowd's inattention and secretly shoved a dagger into Peter's hand as he was about to leave.
"Bring this, you'll need it."
Peter looked at the dagger in his hand with some surprise, and muttered for a moment, but did not refuse.
Deep in the garden, in the dark night, the roar of an unknown monster sounded.
"I think the Bloodstone is already in place."
Listening to a faint roar in the distance, Lady Verusa raised her gaze into the night and said to the crowd.
The flaming torches make a "beep-beep" sound in the night.
The ceremony was preceded by the oath of the Demon Hunter Alliance, and Lady Verusa led the crowd to take the oath:
"Bloodshed for the hunt."
"For the bloodstone and faith, for the sword-forging us."
"Eradicate evil for this land!"
"There is no peace without bloodshed, at all costs!"
"Whatever you want!"
"Whatever you want!"
After taking the oath, everyone began to enter the garden occupied by the monster one after another.
"Click!"
Elsa stomped on a dead branch beneath her feet, making a crisp sound.
She was the last to enter the garden, and the other hunters had already entered in order of draw, which made her have to be more careful.
Monsters are secondary, and these demon hunters with evil intentions are the most wary opponents.
As soon as she stepped on a dead branch, she stopped and observed the movement around her.
Surrounded by vines more than a person tall, obscuring her vision.
The crumbling stone walls of the building and the desolate rooms are like a maze of vines and vines.
In the "whirring" night breeze, there is a faint unsettling sound of music.
On the night of Halloween, it seems that someone is singing in this labyrinth.
Elsa cautiously walked in the direction where the song came from.
Walk through a block of buildings, and finally find a gramophone in motion in a patch of vines.
With a breath of air, she walked over and turned off the gramophone.
The oozing singing also came to an abrupt halt immediately.
After turning off the gramophone, she looked around.
Suddenly, there were traces of blood not far away.
Vigilantly walked to the blood-stained ground, bent down, and examined the traces of blood.
The red blood, "tick-tock", spread all the way into the distance.
Following the trail of blood, she walked forward.
Soon she found the blood disappearing in a dilapidated church not far away.
The doors of the church were tightly closed, and in the darkness of the night, it seemed as if some monster was watching everything outside.
Elsa cautiously walked to the church door.
Suddenly!
The church door suddenly opened, and a pair of hands came out of it.
On the arm that protrudes from inside the door, a crossbow is equipped.
Obviously, this is its own counterpart.
"Ho!"
A sound came from her mouth, and Elsa immediately slammed the door against the other side with all her strength.
With a bang, the door was slammed shut.
The opponent's arm was also tightly clamped.
The other party who was caught in the arm let out a cry of pain, and then pushed the door hard.
The two sides are at each other's throats, with the church door as an intermediary.
"Whoosh!"
The arrows from the crossbow shot out, grazing Elsa's body.
Dodging the bolts sideways, Elsa continued to grit her teeth and push the metal door hard, trying to squeeze her opponent's hand away.
"Boom!"
The other party, who was in pain, finally broke out and pushed open the metal door.
The Asian man who emerged from inside viciously grabbed Elsa's head viciously and slammed it against the wall.
"Bang! Boom! Boom! ”
Several dull crashes rang out in the night.
If it were an ordinary person who was hit like this, his head would have blossomed a long time ago.
But Elsa remained awake, holding her hands against the wall to resist the impact of the other party.
Grabbing the opponent's arm with his backhand, he broke free of his grip and raised his fist to greet him.
The black-gloved fist smashed down in the air and smashed into the opponent's face.
The speed of this move was not fast, and he was caught by an Asian man, but the moment he caught it, he felt a terrifying force like an explosion.
It's as if the air is bursting!
The Asian man's arm was directly bounced off!
Elsa's eyes became fierce, and her arm turned into a fist, hammering into the opponent's chest, which was wide open.
Boom!
It was as if it had been hit with a sandbag, and there was a muffled sound.
The Asian man was struck by lightning, his eyes widened, and his whole strong body flew out like a cannonball.
With a "bang", the opponent's body slammed into the ground.
Elsa wanted to go over to mend the knife, but she didn't expect the other party to suddenly shoot a hidden arrow at her.
Taking advantage of her evasion, the Asian man who fell to the ground replaced his arrows and continued to shoot at Elsa.
Although he was seriously injured at this time, his strong willpower made him unwilling to admit defeat easily.
As she dodged the Hidden Arrows, Elsa bent down and pulled out another dagger hidden in her boot.
Take advantage of the convenience of the terrain, quickly move in front of the opponent, and swing forward sharply.
"Whew!"
Blood shot out, and the Asian man's arm was slashed off.
The crossbow bolt on his arm also fell to the ground along with the severed arm.
"Ahh
The Asian man who lost his arm screamed in pain.
Surrounded by pain, he rushed towards Elsa as if he had lost his mind.
Elsa blocked the onslaught, and her whip-like legs struck her opponent in the chest, knocking them backwards.
Then a volley knee hit the opponent's chin.
Hit by AEC's force into his mandible, the Asian man immediately fell backwards uncontrollably.
The body slammed into the ground with a loud bang.
Taking advantage of the opponent's fall to the ground, Elsa raised her dagger and stabbed him in the heart.
"Poof!"
An Asian man with only one hand left, using his palm to fend off her dagger attack.
The dagger pierced his palm, piercing it directly.
Blood splattered onto Elsa's face.
Taking advantage of the gap between her sluggish attacks and being blocked, the Asian man endured the severe pain and shook his head and smashed Elsa's forehead.
With a "bang", Elsa was knocked backwards and leaned back.
With all the strength of his body, he knocked Elsa away from him.
The Asian man breathed heavily, running in the direction of his arm.
On his severed arm, he had a crossbow bolt strapped to it.
That was the only chance I could fight for.
"Boom!"
Throwing himself on the ground, the Asian man picked up his arm on the ground.
However, the moment he stood up, Elsa's dagger had already stabbed him.
The moment he fired his crossbow arrow, the dagger slit his neck.
Blood shot out like a fountain.
His eyes were wide open, and a look of horror and disbelief shot out of his eyes.
With a "bang", the Asian man's body fell heavily to the ground, splashing countless dust.
Elsa, who was panting heavily, covered her forehead with a faint pain, and looked at the Asian man who was completely dead on the ground.
After a few minutes, she walked over to the other's broken arm and picked it up.
Remove the Hidden Arrow from the top and walk slowly outside.
A thrilling battle caused her to lose a lot of physical strength.
"Crumbs!"
Glancing at the clothes she had damaged in the battle just now, she frowned and cursed secretly.
"I don't know what happened to that bastard who doesn't know whether to live or die!"
Elsa suddenly thought of Peter, who was the first to come in.
Let's hope he's lucky and alive.
Shaking her head, she said secretly in her heart.
After walking along the stone wall for a moment, she soon heard the sound of footsteps.
Stopping, she immediately held her breath.
"Don't move!"
Behind her, a deep voice sounded.
Turning her head slowly, Elsa saw a short man with a beard and a look like a Viking standing behind her.
The other party was armed with a huge axe, and his eyes were sharp and staring at him.
"It seems that you are not very lucky, miss, you met me."
The short man with a kind expression on his face who had talked to Peter before was full of unconcealed enthusiasm at this time.
"Bloodstone is mine! No one can snatch it! ”
As he spoke, he raised his axe and slashed at Elsa.
Elsa immediately stepped back, dodging the attack.
At the same time, she pointed behind the other party with a look of horror.
"What? Do you want to say that I have something behind my back? ”
A sneer erupted from the dwarf man's mouth, "You think I'm going to be fooled? ”
As soon as his words fell, a loud roar came from behind him.
"Click!"
The dwarf man's head was pinched by a pair of large hands, and a flame-like burning substance erupted from those hands.
The pale yellow flames, like the substance of thunder and lightning, hit the body of the dwarf man.
The flames pierced through his body in an instant, and in less than a second, his body was completely turned into charcoal.
With a "bang", the charred body of the short man slammed into the ground.
