Chapter 203 Black Sun Curse!

It was not unexpected to Ailin.

The Water Ghost King, who was inexplicably dragged into this world, could hardly suppress his anger and cruelty.

“Quack——”

In the roar.

The water ghost king waved his huge webbed claws and grabbed the fat human.

Simultaneously.

A layer of blue light film appeared on the strong and well-developed muscles.

"This is the real Water Ghost King. Which mage doesn't open the shield before fighting?"

Ailin complained.

The blue pupils were fixed on the sharp claw that was rapidly approaching Hackso's fat body.

"Grandmaster! Grandmaster!"

In the shadow of death.

The King of Kaedwen called out to the Chief Witcher of the School of the Wolf.

When Soi heard the shout, his left foot unconsciously moved to the side, as if he was about to turn around and go to rescue.

But then...

From the corner of his eye, he saw Ailin covered in blood in the arena, and his body suddenly froze.

next second.

The huge shadow of the Water Ghost King's claws covered Hackso and slapped downwards quickly.

At this moment, Ailin's heart instantly jumped to his throat.

"boom!"

There was a loud bang.

A golden protective shield suddenly appeared above Hackso's head, blocking the attack.

"Hackathal, my dear king... wizards are still more useful than witchers, aren't they?"

Under the protective cover.

Not far from King Kaedwen, Deputy Dean Ben Ade, Janes, looked pale, with blood still wet at the corners of his mouth.

His left hand was on the ground, and his right hand was tightly holding a magic jewelry.

After making a sarcastic remark to Hackso, Jaynes did not expect an answer.

Although he had always looked down upon this fat pig wearing the king's laurel wreath.

But this pig can die in a pigsty, in a slaughterhouse, or on the battlefield, but it cannot die in Ban Ade.

This will cause them a lot of trouble.

Enduring the needle-like pain in his brain, Jaynes' lips moved up and down silently.

The golden protective shield disappeared, and the half-human-sized claw was about to continue falling.

Jaynes swung his right hand, which was holding the magic jewelry, violently.

"Quack!"

The extraordinary strength turned into a pair of translucent large hands, grabbed the webbed claws of the Water Ghost King, and quickly pulled it to the right.

The Water Ghost King, who was already at the edge of the main stand, suddenly lost his balance.

After a roar, he fell down.

"boom!"

dusty.

Having been freed from danger, Hakeso staggered to his feet, his eyes fixed on Soi.

Although the crisis just now lasted for a short time.

But Hackso saw it.

He saw the Grand Master's hesitation.

Even when Teresius took a step back, no one rushed to save him...

no doubt……

He already knew it.

Hackso, who had just escaped from the threat of death, suddenly found himself like a court jester these days, hiding his clumsy conspiracy in front of Soi.

this moment.

The strong sense of shame triggered even stronger anger, which overwhelmed the fear.

He no longer cared that ordering the killing of the Wolf School's grandmaster would damage the country's reputation and the dignity of the royal family.

"guard!!!"

He shouted loudly, and his index finger instantly pointed at the witcher who had made the Lord of Kaedwen a clown for half a month.

"Kill him now..."

"Boom!"

suddenly.

There was another huge roar and explosion between heaven and earth, interrupting Hackso.

"what happened?"

"What happened again?!!"

The Lord of Kaedwen was so frightened that he fell back to the ground with a thump.

Janes, who was closing his eyes to recover his damaged mental strength, opened his eyes because of the sudden movement.

Then I saw a huge black shadow suddenly falling down.

"Uh-huh~"

A scream.

Janes, who had the king sitting on his butt, rolled his eyes and fainted instantly.

Ailin looked at the scene with a strange expression.

Just now, when he discovered that the king was still alive because of the protection of the wizard with a pointed hat, he was anxiously taking out the rock troll blood from the reagent bag, wanting to summon the celestial sphere intersection again.

Add a knife.

However, he didn't expect that the Water Ghost King who was pushed down would make him stop his movements instantly.

Listening to the cold mechanical sound coming from his ears, Ailin looked down absentmindedly.

Under the main stand.

The Water Ghost King just struggled to get up, but was frightened by the sudden explosion and fell to the ground again.

"Paji~"

Under its body, a large pool of red, blue and white flesh and bone mud splashed out.

[Ding! Hunting mission completed: Water Ghost II (kill Water Ghost 500/500)]

[Rewards: Experience beads*100, Monster Encyclopedia - Location]

[Hunting Mission: Water Ghost III (Kill Water Ghost 2/1000)]

Yes.

The Water Ghost King thrown down by the Pointed Hat Wizard killed the last few water ghosts required for the hunting mission.

but……

"Why would the Water Ghost King's death be counted on me?"

Ailin felt a little strange.

[Ding! Alien fusion "Water Ghost" stage one, please select the fusion location! (If the host does not select, it will be located immediately after 30 seconds.)]

As the mechanical sound rang out, Ailin's sight once again saw the intersection of the celestial spheres and the fresh green door.

Wasn’t that explosion just now considered the beginning?

When the hunting mission is completed, he can choose the location of the intersection of the celestial spheres!

Ailin was overjoyed.

The strategic value of this function is too high...

Ok?
and many more!

Ailin suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The system prompt does not seem to be the intersection of the celestial spheres.

He quickly opened the Demon Hunting Notes with his mind.

Exotic fusion?

Still in stage one?

What does it mean?
Aelin frowned.

He had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but the numbers jumping in his sight kept decreasing, and he had no time to hesitate.

then.

Ailin's mind is micro-manipulated.

Move the door above Hackso's head.

...4, 3, 2, 1
As the countdown ended, Ailin's vision suddenly turned dark and red.

It was clearly almost noon, but the sky was dim, as if it was already dusk.

But Ailin was not surprised.

This is much easier to accept than completing "Hunting Mission: Water Ghost I" and everything in front of you turns bloody.

therefore.

He forced himself to ignore the growing uneasiness in his heart and stared in the direction of Hackso.

until……

"Why did it suddenly get dark?"

Someone in the stands asked doubtfully.

Ailin was stunned for a moment after his keen hearing caught this question.

Next second

The entire arena was even more noisy and panic-stricken than after the celestial conjunction earthquake.

"It's...it's getting dark..."

"Look! The sun is gone. It's been eaten!"

"No! This is the Black Sun! The Black Sun! Black... The Black Sun Curse... The Black Sun Curse is real!"

The witcher looked up in horror.

Not a special effect!

The sun in the Demon Hunter world is really blocked by a black round celestial body.

Only a circle of dark red halo remained on the edge, glowing.

"This...how is this possible?"

Ailin's mouth opened in surprise.

The Curse of the Black Sun, also known as the Curse of the Dark Sun.

This is a doomsday prophecy from the wizard Etibald.

That is, in the near future a solar eclipse will announce the resurrection of the evil witch Lilit, and the way of resurrection is that sixty girls wearing golden crowns will fill the valley with their blood.

The evil god Lilit will bring a curse and destroy human civilization. In the original book, the Black Sun Curse appeared very early.

However, this prophecy is different from the widely recognized prophecy of the elven prophet Ithlin. It is just a superstitious statement that is not recognized by the protagonist Geralt and knowledgeable people. It is even derogatoryly called "Mad Etibald's fanaticism."

So Ailin originally thought that the Black Sun Curse was nonsense.

But now, he was a little uncertain.

Do solar eclipses really have some kind of mystical meaning?
and also……

"What exactly is foreign fusion? Why is it such a big deal?"

Ailin already felt that the situation before him was somewhat out of control, and the situation changed again.

The wind suddenly stopped.

Under the light of the blood-red eclipse, countless black spots suddenly appeared in the sky.

follow closely.

Ailin felt the air around him suddenly become humid.

Soon, layers of dark clouds quickly gathered in the sky.

The sky grew darker.

The solar eclipse lasted only half a minute, and then rain began to fall.

The magic perspective of the wolf emblem switches automatically.

A large number of blue water element light spots poured out from these black holes.

The density of water elements in the air suddenly skyrocketed.

then……

“Quack~Quack~Quack~”

Suddenly, strange cries rang out in a disorderly manner, and water ghosts emerged from the black hole and fell with the rain.

The whole city began to rain ghost rain.

There was a flash of lightning, and the sky and the earth became bright.

"Clang!"

Amid the roar of thunder, Ban Ade's screams of terror rose one after another and reached the sky.

It's not over yet.

A huge black hole with a diameter of five meters appeared one meter above Hackso's head.

The stunned King of Kaedwen had no time to think carefully about the current situation.

Swarms of water ghosts gushed out of the huge black hole and smashed directly onto Hackso's fat flesh, drowning him.

Heart-wrenching screams came from the mountain of water ghosts.

Followed by.

"Gulala!"

"Quack!"

……

After a giant swamp fairy was squeezed out, a water ghost king fell out.

When the last giant swamp fairy slid out, all the black holes in the sky and on the ground suddenly closed.

As for Haxo, who was suppressed by a group of water ghosts, two huge giant swamp fairies and a water ghost king?

The screams had long since died down.

then.

The black hole closed, the black sun disappeared, and the earth became bright again.

Even the dark clouds in the sky disappeared completely in an instant.

Except for the groups of water ghosts who recovered from the dizziness of traveling through the world and began to open their bloody mouths to choose people to devour.

Everything seemed as if nothing had happened.

"This...I did this?"

Ailin stared at the mess in the arena in front of him.

He didn't know how big the scope of this so-called fusion of different worlds was.

But his keen hearing told him.

At least the most famous city in Kaedwen, Ban Ader, has been completely submerged in the swarm of water ghosts.

Whether it was civilians, nobles, or wizards, there must have been heavy casualties.

However, Ailin did not intend to take all the moral responsibility on himself.

The one who pushed the water ghost king away and smashed the water ghost to death, thus completing the hunting mission and suddenly merging the foreign lands was the wizard Ben Ade in a pointed hat.

It was Hackso who was clever and invited them to the competition in order to weaken the strength of the Wolf School.

They were forced to come.

If not.

Even if Ailin wanted to complete the mission, he would definitely find a remote place to keep it secret.

So no matter how many people in Ban Ade City died due to the fusion of foreign lands, the responsibility was not his.

It must not be blamed on him!
"I must not!" Ailin murmured.

"Ding! The first stage of the foreign fusion "Water Ghost" has been completed, and the current fusion progress is 1%."

"Ding! A main quest has been discovered: destroy all the monsters that have sneaked in from another world. Do you accept it?"

A cold mechanical voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Ailin's wild thoughts.

He had no reason to refuse the new main quest.

After the idea is accepted.

A detailed list of main tasks, different from the past, appeared before my eyes.

[Mission: The Beginning of Different World Fusion]

[Task Type: Main Line]

[Task Description: Eliminate all monsters that sneaked in from another world]

[Quest progress: Water Ghost King 0/2, Giant Swamp Fairy 0/2]

Listening to the faint screams coming from all over the city.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then held Elsa tightly in his hand.

……

Layers of monsters pressed down on the main stand.

The leaders of the Cat School and the Wolf School were pushed to the edge of the stands.

Teresius held the sword in his hand, staring blankly at the Wolf School's Grand Master as he turned around and slashed at the strange monster with a snake's tail with his sword.

Hackso is dead!
With so many monsters pressing down on him, not even he could survive.

What's more, a human who has no extraordinary abilities and can only eat...

and so……

His king, his employer, his future...

no doubt.

died.

Therefore, even though the grandmaster of the Wolf School looked at him expressionlessly and said nothing, he exposed his back to him and killed the monster.

He didn't launch a sneak attack either.

This is a truth that every cat-faction witcher knows.

The employer died.

No matter how close the delegate was to completing, the delegate failed.

Moreover.

Even the grandmaster of the Wolf School would show his back to him.

He also couldn't kill the man known as the "Dragon Slayer".

"Tick tock~"

"Tick tock~"

A trickle of blood flowed out from between the fingers that were tightly gripping the hilt of the steel sword.

It was broken by the enormous power of the man in front of him who was like a giant dragon.

Thinking back on it now, Teresius even felt that the battle just now was just the Wolf School's grandmaster playing with him.

Looking again at the place where Hakeso was buried, a feeling of helplessness and bewilderment arose in his heart.

and so……

What should I do next?
"Teresias, what do we do next?"

Guksat also emerged from the shadows with a confused look on his face.

Originally, he planned to launch a surprise attack when the Wolf School's demon hunters were caught off guard.

But now, the employer is dead.

The sneak attack naturally lost its meaning.

Because of this commission.

Brett, Fredica, Ben-Hur, Bindu...

and also……

Guksat looked at the wreckage in the arena in a daze.

And Baleka, Geoffrey, Agathe, Kuro...

They are all dead.

A large portion of them were arranged by themselves, directly or indirectly.

just now.

There were only four witchers left in the caravan, and the entire Cat School had no more than ten people, including the two of them.

"Will the king die too?"

Guksat asked in a distraught tone.

Of course the king would die, so this was not a question, and so Teresius did not answer it.

"Qiang~"

Sheath the sword.

He patted Guksat's shoulder, turned and left without saying a word.

Guksat avoided the awakened water ghost and followed closely behind.

"Why don't you hunt the monsters and save the humans in this city?"

"Aren't you also demon hunters?"

The voice of the Wolf School Grandmaster came from behind.

Neither Theresius nor Guxat looked back.

"We are demon hunters from the Cat School!"

"Why would you do anything for humans if there's no bounty?"
