Chapter 14: Demonization

"Please, Mr. Leon, let's talk in the house. ”

Dante gestured with his hand.

Leon asked, "What shall I call you, Your Excellency, Teacher, or ......?"

Dante said politely and detachedly: "It's the same as what I call you, we are not a teacher-student relationship, this is just a transaction." Of course, you don't have to worry about me being hidden. ”

Leon nodded, "Yes, Mr. Dante." ”

The two walked into the house one after the other.

The room was as simple as it looked, with a long table, a wooden bed, and a wooden bookshelf, but it was exceptionally clean.

Axes, swords, crossbows, bows and other weapons hung from the wooden walls, and a striking monster head, like a goat, with hideous horns, and a little green evil energy revealed in the white bones, and two wedges passed through its eye sockets, nailing it to the wall, even if it died, it was still daunting.

Dante bowed slightly: "The humble house is shabby, see and smile." ”

Li Ang shook his head: "Although you have great power, you have not used it for personal gain, this is not laughable, but it is very admirable." ”

He chuckled: "Passing the prize." ”

Leon asked, "What kind of demon is hanging on the wall?"

Dante said: "Nasrezm who tried to lure me into hell".

Li Ang said, "It's the kind of demon you said is good at luring demon hunters to fall?"

"Yes, they are not much larger than ordinary people, they are a rare demon known for their magical abilities and intelligence, they are usually the high-ranking commanders of the Abyss Lord's army, and the Nasrezm I hunted is called Titodios, and the king of Nasrezm, the Lord of half of the Abyss. ”

"It was a battle that deserves to be remembered on the tombstone for a long time. ”

Speaking of this, a hint of remembrance flashed in Dante's expression: "It is cunning and cruel, cunning, scheming, good at confusing the minds of mortals, and can transform itself, he hides in the crowd and can attack at any moment, like a scavenging vulture, as long as you show a little tiredness, it will come forward and tear your flesh." ”

"I have to admit that it almost destroyed my mind, and if it had been meant to kill me, I would have died a long time ago. ”

"If one day you are targeted by Nazrezm, you must be very careful, because they may become the people closest to you, breaking and sinking you in all kinds of cruel and vicious ways. ”

"I sure will. ”

Li Ang nodded solemnly.

He beckoned Leon to sit across the table, took a bottle of wine from the wooden box at the head of the bed, and casually asked, "Drink?"

"Okay, thank you. ”

He pulled the cork and tilted the bottle, and the scarlet drink fell into the solid wooden glass.

Dante laughs, "Colors may have some bad associations, but be sure that it's not blood." ”

Li Ang hurriedly shook his head, picked up a somewhat heavy wooden cup and put it to his mouth and tasted it: "It's sweet and sour, but it's not like wine." ”

Dante smiled and shook his head, "It's just juice, I never said it was wine - it has a refreshing effect, and as a witcher, you always have to keep a clear head, that's the first thing I'm going to teach you." ”

Leon nodded and said, "I'll remember." ”

Dante nodded with satisfaction: "Then next, I will start to give you a lecture officially." ”

"First of all, I must warn you, the witcher is a path full of disasters and death, the stronger the witcher, the closer to the abyss, on this path, no one's help can be relied on forever, Nasrezm is just one of the difficulties, you get through, there will be a more difficult future waiting for you, are you ready?"

"Of course. ”

Leon didn't hesitate, was there anything else in this world worth pursuing besides transcendent power?

Since he has a demon hunter and a talent like "demon hunter", he should have been a natural demon hunter.

Dante said, "First of all, as I said earlier, you already have the foundation to become a witcher, and the next thing is to learn to use and channel the demonic power in your body. ”

"One of the great abilities of a demon hunter is to channel the demonic power in his body, completely activate it, and turn himself into a real demon in a short period of time. ”

"For example, you, if you learn this trick, you can turn yourself into a dwarf demon, although the dwarf demon is not strong, but the most basic physical fitness is there, you replace its original stupid mind with superb combat skills and wisdom, what does that mean I don't need to say more, right? ”

Li Ang nodded hurriedly.

If he mastered such an ability, he could not only turn into a dwarf demon, but also if he hunted more powerful demons, he could transform into more demons.

This ability means far more to him than an ordinary demon hunter.

Seeing that Li Ang was very interested, Dante continued: "'Demonization' can be said to be the most basic desperate ability of every demon hunter, the reason why it is basic is because it really does not take much time to master, and the reason why it is said to be desperate is because every demonization will make you one step closer to falling into the abyss. At the same time, the more often demonization is used, the more likely it is to be bewitched by the demons of the Abyss. ”

"So even if you have this ability, you should never use it too often. ”

This is the golden and jade words of the predecessors, and Li Ang hurriedly nodded and said that he would remember it.

Dante added: "You can think of demonic power as one of your own organs, such as ears, that you can perceive but cannot move on your own. Through long-term practice, to be able to control it, to use it freely, and to be able to exercise it purposefully to make it strong, this is the way of practice of the witcher. ”

Li Ang looked confused, couldn't his ears move because of the degeneration of people's ear muscles?

But then I realized that this was just a not so appropriate metaphor, but to be honest, I never felt where the demonic power in my body was hidden.

After hunting the dwarf demons, he only felt that his strength had increased a lot, but other than that, it was gone.

As if seeing through Leon's doubts, Dante said: "Next, I will teach you a meditation method, with which you will be able to do 'inner vision', not to see your own internal organs, but to see the hidden world in your body." ”

Li Ang nodded hurriedly.

"You close your eyes and use your mind...... It's fantasy, fantasizing that you're staring at your body and then moving in that way. ”

As soon as he wanted to ask what kind of trajectory he had, Leon felt a majestic thought enter his body, and the thoughts that guided him quickly swept over and over again.

Gradually, the things he perceived became clearer and clearer, and instead of the vague memory images after closing his eyes, he became as if he had opened his eyes and saw.

But over time, the originally clear picture became blurry again.

The surface of his body looked like an old house covered with ashes, and with a violent gust of wind, everything vanished.

He couldn't see his body anymore.

In its place was a huge parchment-bound book, which was - the Demon Hunter Hand Tie.

The Demon Hunter was even bigger than it was on the outside, like a continent floating in the void, filled with empty compartments.

Leon glanced over and found a familiar figure in the marginal compartment.

Lead-gray skin, as fat as a pigβ€”that's a dwarf.

At the same time, Dante's voice sounded in Leon's ears: "What do you see?"

The sound was like thunder.

Leon didn't wake up, he was still in his current state, he pondered for a moment, and said loudly, "I saw a room where the dwarf demon I killed was held. ”

There was more to it than that, but he didn't say it.

Dante's voice rang out: "That's the source of your magic, next, make it you!"

"What should I do?"

"Go and plunder everything from him and make it yours completely!"

Leon understood.

Then, a flash of light flashed in the eyes of the dwarf demon who was locked in a separate compartment.

The prison slowly opened, and it stepped out of its cubicle and said, "I see. ”
