Chapter 159 Death of Cat
No words, no conversation.
Erin and Brett, both demon hunters, seemed to have a blood feud and tried every means to kill each other.
In the dim room, sparks flew as swords collided violently.
In the dimly lit dark room, Brett gradually sketched out the appearance of his opponent in his mind and gradually realized that something was wrong.
His short stature was normal, but that fleeting childish face and clear blue cat eyes...
The "senior demon hunter of the Wolf School" in front of him seemed young, very young.
Just like... just like a demon hunter who just passed the trial.
But how is this possible... Brett shook his head slightly and leaned back to avoid the silver sword that was sweeping over him.
Such proficient and refined swordsmanship and superb and skillful magic seals cannot be achieved without twenty to thirty years of experience.
Even the legendary orthodox Wolf School of the Demon Hunter Order could not achieve this.
Moreover, with such strength, speed and dexterity...
No matter how talented a demon hunter is, there is a limit to how much the growth of mutant organs can improve his physical fitness.
It is impossible for a demon hunter who has just passed the trial to have such physical fitness.
"call!"
Silver light cut through the air and slashed towards his head diagonally.
The Cat School Demon Hunter sneered.
"Clumsy Wolf-school swordplay!" he thought.
He could sense that the other was suppressing the instinct that Treis called "awkward spinning."
"It's a pity that since it's called instinct, how can it really be restrained?"
Brett's eyes flashed fiercely, and he stepped on the ground with his right foot. The power quickly burst out from his wrist and was transferred to the sword.
Clang!
Clang! Clang!
The cold light flashed three times in succession, luring the enemy into opening their defense.
Good opportunity... Brett shouted in his heart and gripped the sword handle with both hands.
"Whoosh!"
The sharp blade pierced through the air and stabbed directly into the leather armor on the chest which was wide open due to the continuous and rapid slashing.
"boom!"
There was another explosion.
The golden light from Quinn's shattered shield illuminated the enemy's childish face.
"Such a young look is perfect for assassination!"
Looking at the face that flashed by in the light, an idea suddenly popped up in Brett's mind.
but.
Immediately afterwards, a huge amount of force rushed towards him from the tip of the sword, and the unstoppable momentum interrupted his reverie.
It seemed that in the next moment, Brett would be forced to keep his distance by doing a backwards jump and dodge, just like the first time.
Then he watched helplessly as the Wolf Demon Hunter added another layer of Quen Shield to himself.
Eventually, in such a cycle, the Cat School Demon Hunter would be exhausted to death due to his poor physical condition, or he would have to wait for support from other companions.
But is it really that simple?
The muscles in his arm trembled slightly to relieve the force, and Brett pressed himself against the wall at the moment before the shock wave arrived, avoiding the impact of Quinn's shield exploding.
follow closely.
Before the Wolf School's demon hunters have time to use the Quen Sign.
Brett took two quick steps forward, holding the sword with both hands, his wrist slightly shaking.
The light force made the long sword that was chopped towards the enemy's right shoulder sway slightly like an antelope hanging its horns.
really.
The Wolf School Demon Hunter on the opposite side followed the direction of the long sword and swung the silver sword, but was deceived by the feint and swung it directly into the air.
The entire body's center of gravity is unbalanced at this moment.
“There was no exclamation or scream?” Brett felt a little regretful.
This was his most proud skill, which he had developed based on the swordsmanship of the Cat School after a head-on confrontation with at least ten knights with superb martial arts.
The sudden change of target at the tip of the sword will prevent the enemy from reacting in time.
Often a moment of confusion is enough to decide life or death.
It looked like just a simple flick of the wrist.
However, it requires not only powerful strength far beyond that of ordinary people, nimble wrists to control the long sword to change direction suddenly, but also keen perception to determine the enemy's shape in a dim light environment.
This is his ultimate understanding of the Cat School's murderous swordsmanship, a skill that even the Cat School's grandmaster Treis has praised.
Those old-fashioned demon hunters of the Wolf School who only know how to hunt stupid monsters will never understand...
When people fight each other, it's like dancing on the edge of a knife.
It was more exciting and enjoyable than spending a night in the most expensive pink tavern on Rose Street in the royal city of Ad Kale.
The only flaw of this sword is that the sudden change of direction causes the power to be weakened, and the force of the stab is only one-sixth of that of an ordinary straight stab.
but……
So what?
Humans are such fragile creatures that the weight of a sword alone can kill them.
This wolf school witcher is dead!
"Hehehe~"
A strange and cruel laugh was heard.
There was a cruel and fierce light in Brett's eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up in an exaggerated arc.
The sharp sword fluttered for a moment, then stabbed straight into the heart of the wolf-faction demon hunter.
Brett looked at the darkness before him, his heart filled with irrepressible excitement.
He knew that at the end of his sight was the blurry face of the Wolf School Demon Hunter.
His mind automatically filled with a series of negative expressions such as confusion, panic, fear, etc. on the faces of those who had died under his sword in the past.
However, the next moment.
A pair of cold blue cat eyes suddenly lit up in the darkness.
The gaze that fell on Brett was as cold as the pure white snow outside the caravan in winter.
damn it!
How is this going?
Brett suddenly felt cold all over, his hair stood on end, and the sudden sense of crisis made his teeth chatter and his scalp tingle.
However, this strange scene did not slow down the speed of the sword stabbing towards the target.
Even though the wolf school demon hunter had tried his best to dodge sideways, the sharp sword tip still pierced through the leather armor, pierced through the flesh, and stabbed...
wrong!
Will not!
"How can it be!"
Brett yelled in disbelief.
His ultimate move, his sharp sword, actually... stopped after piercing the flesh.
It was like a blunt blade stabbing into cowhide...
"How can it be!"
Brett panicked and tried to correct the direction of the sword.
However, because the enemy leaned sideways, the long sword slid across the flesh and leather armor, cutting a hole and then stabbing straight into the ceiling of the room.
next moment.
Brett was horrified to discover...
The wolf school demon hunter whose eyes suddenly flashed with strange blue cat eyes disappeared!
His arm resisted the potential energy of the sword's empty swing, trying to retract the blade.
He turned his head hard to the left, trying to find the figure that suddenly disappeared from his sight.
then,
Brett suddenly felt his head lighten, a strong smell of rust rushed into his nostrils, and his vision unconsciously began to spin slowly.
then.
At a certain moment, I saw those cold ice-blue cat eyes again.
found it!
He thought to himself. He tried to control his hands, to control his sword, but he found nothing.
Then he understood everything.
"Perhaps the god of death has such beautiful eyes."
That was the last thought in his mind.
The next moment.
Brett, a demon hunter of the Cat School who once created skills that even the grandmaster of the Cat School was amazed by, has fallen into an eternal sleep.
"Qiang!"
Sheath Elsa.
The smell of rust in the air rushes into my nose.
After mentally taking a portion of water ghost's heart essence to relieve the fatigue of demon hunting, Ailin felt an inexplicable nausea in his stomach.
This was the first time he killed someone since coming to this world, and the person he killed was one of his own kind.
But he did not regret it. He only regretted not using "Demon Hunting" earlier.
after all.
If he had been careless and had not used Demon Hunt for a quick victory out of concern for the safety of Zeus, Bont, Fred and others, he would most likely have died in this battle!
Ailin lowered his head and subconsciously touched the finger-long break on the leather armor.
He could feel that the wound on his chest was not serious, about one centimeter in size and only about one centimeter in depth.
But this was definitely the closest time for Ailin to death. If the sword had been a little more powerful, if he didn't have those ten points of elemental affinity to help Ailin block the sword.
Even if he was not in the demon hunting state, his cold and ruthless emotional state prevented him from panicking because of a temporary failure.
He would not have the chance to turn around and dodge, as the sword would pierce his heart directly.
"The swordsmanship of the demon hunters from the Cat School is terrifying!"
Ailin subconsciously glanced at the headless body on the ground.
When the physical fitness is similar, the fierce and swift sword attack of the Cat School is really hard to resist.
Compared with the Wolf School two-handed sword, Ailin truly experienced the dexterity and versatility of swordsmanship.
"I don't know how Xius and the others are doing now?"
"If all the enemies I encounter are like this demon hunter from the Cat School..."
Thinking of this, Ailin's heart sank suddenly. He casually gave himself a Quen shield, drew out his steel sword, and jumped directly onto the windowsill.
The street outside the hotel was deserted.
However, in the dim and dark long street, the snoring of the villagers in their sleep completely disappeared, leaving only the curses and roars in the inn, and the wailing of metal clashing.
Apparently, the strange noises in the hotel woke up the people in Baiguoyuan.
Ailin sighed inwardly, climbed out of the windowsill, and walked onto the thatched gabled roof.
This was just a small inn in a small town, with only six rooms on the second floor. The Wolf School witchers stayed in five of them, with Arryn and Vesemir staying at the head and the tail.
"Damn it, you're not even a demon hunter apprentice. Who are you?"
"Also, were you kidding me just now? It's only been a short time, how come your swordsmanship has improved so quickly?"
Walking along the thatched roof, just as Ailin reached the window of Hughes' room, angry and panicked curses came out of the house.
"It looks like Hughes is fine." He leaned in through the window.
"Qiang!"
Amid the sound of swords clashing, the demon hunter from the Cat School cursed loudly.
However, Zeus did not say anything. Instead, he slashed with his sword again in response.
The one who had the upper hand in the dim room was not the witcher from the Cat School, but Zeus.
When Ailin saw this scene, he was stunned for a moment, but then he reacted.
Right.
Quen's Sign LV2, Wolf School Two-handed Sword LV3, Cat's Eye Potion, plus his swordsmanship level is at most a Cat School Hunter who has just "graduated" for about ten years.
It would be surprising if Hughes lost.
"Before I knew it, the little brat who followed me around seemed to be able to stand on his own."
"But compared to that guy named Brett, this demon hunter from the cat school is really weak."
Ailin sighed in his heart and breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that he is just too lucky!
Judging from the battle situation, the demon hunter from the Cat School will die under Zeus's sword in five minutes at most.
However, the situation with Bonte and Fred is still unclear, and there is no movement at all with Vesemir.
After a brief thought, Ailin didn't even bother waiting for Zeus to deal with the enemy himself, and jumped directly from the window.
"boom!"
The hilt of the steel sword struck the back of the head of the nameless cat-faction demon hunter at lightning speed.
"Aylin!"
Zeus was stunned for a moment. After seeing the person's appearance clearly, his strange green cat eyes, which had turned black on the whites due to the cat's eye potion, suddenly became round with joy.
He knew that the reason he was able to defeat the strange man in black was definitely because he was being watched by the "Eyes of the Demon Hunter".
Otherwise how could his swordsmanship improve so quickly in combat.
"Alin, these people are..."
Without time to exchange pleasantries, Ailin raised his hand to interrupt Xius and quickly arranged the tasks.
"It's me. I'll go find Fred next door. You go help Bonte directly, and then wait for us in Fred's room after you've sorted out the trouble."
Hughes nodded seriously, followed Ailin, and was about to leave the room.
Ailin suddenly turned around and said seriously:
"Xius! Remember what Master Vesemir said? Don't be soft-hearted. Just treat these enemies as water ghosts."
Xiusi was stunned for a moment, subconsciously glanced at the man in black who had fainted on the ground, and nodded vigorously.
Subsequently.
Two witchers from the Wolf School walked to Fred's window.
Hughes continued to move forward, and Ailin leaned over and took a careful look.
"boom"
A flash of pale yellow light was followed by a slight explosion.
The man in black was staggered by the shock wave from Quinn's shattered shield, and then rushed forward again.
Obviously.
Fred's opponent was even weaker than Hughes'.
Because although the LV2 Quinn shield has the ability to repel, it is very weak, just to the extent of a gentle push with the hand.
And considering Fred's Mystery is only seven points, in reality, the thrust of the shield shattering would be even lighter.
If it weren't for the fact that the wolf school's two-handed sword was not used to the cat school's demon hunter swordsmanship, Fred would have won long ago.
However, looking at the movements of the fake witcher's sword, each sword was aimed at non-lethal parts such as arms, shoulders, thighs, waist and abdomen.
"Could it be that there are also disagreements among these cat schools?"
"This demon hunter is one of those who is more favorable to the Wolf School?"
As Ailin thought about it, he did not hesitate.
He kicked the windowsill with his right foot and landed directly behind the Cat School Demon Hunter, and then he did not use the hilt of the steel sword.
He punched him directly in the back of the head.
"Plop~"
The cat-faction witcher fell to the ground and successfully fell into a peaceful sleep.
Teammates rescued by Ailin plus one.
"Fred, let's go, let's go next door and meet Hughes and Bonte and..."
Ailin looked up and was about to arrange for Fred to go find Bonte together.
"Aylin!"
Hughes's roars and screams came from outside the window.
Ailin's heart sank suddenly.
Something's happened to Hughes and Bonte!
