Chapter 277: The Confluence of Celestial Spheres - Demonic Spirits

Life is full of ups and downs.

Sarah had never realized this more deeply.

When he was worried about the effect of the ghost oil.

As soon as the Royal Guards Knights encountered the tide of demons, they were unstoppable and attracted a large group of demons to chase them.

When he was worried about the safety of the two demon hunters.

Vesemir and Master Arryn, with riding and swordsmanship far superior to those of professional soldiers, ignited a green flame that was no less powerful than that of a hundred knights on guard.

The tide of demon spirits was completely stagnant.

But when he was feeling jubilant and thinking that he could hold on until the ceremony was completed without any problems.

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

First, the Guard Knight's ghost oil ran out ahead of time, and then due to insufficient horsepower, he was bitten on the tail by the demon spirit.

dilemma.

In an instant, the original advantage was completely wiped out.

A huge wave of demons and spirits pressed forward.

Looking at the figure that was bitten tightly by those damn evil spirits but left resolutely.

Sara couldn't help but clench his fists, veins bulged on his forehead, and stared at his comrades who were only a hundred meters away from him.

He thought he saw Arthur shake his head vigorously at him.

At this time.

A demon hunting soldier wearing black armor walked over.

"Sir Sarah, the two hundred portions of ghost oil have been collected. Now..." The soldier glanced at the guards who were pulling the reins and turning back, "Do you need to send more to the guards?"

Sarah looked at the tide of demon spirits that was getting closer and closer, with the front being only about three hundred meters away.

He looked again at the guards knights riding their tired horses and galloping towards the distance.

long silence.

"No need." Sarah shook her head. "Distribute the ghost oil again, and let the brothers get ready. It will be our turn soon."

The soldier looked back at the approaching demon spirit, feeling the increasing chill of the evening breeze, and then stared at the brightly lit Elland behind Sarah.

No words were spoken.

He simply bowed deeply and then moved among the teams, delivering orders.

For a moment.

The appearance of the entire demon hunting army changed suddenly.

The fierce murderous aura seemed to scare the night wind so much that it froze.

Mary, who was helping Vera, noticed the change in the atmosphere around her, looked up, and asked anxiously:
"Teacher, how long will it take?"

"It's almost there..." Vera said indifferently without looking up.

However, looking at the mentor who is always calm and elegant, as the temperature is getting lower and lower, he wipes the sweat from his forehead every few seconds.

Mary knew the tutor had done the best he could.

So even though she didn't get an exact time, she felt embarrassed to bother her again.

The ceremony had already been arranged to its core, and there was less and less for Mary to do to help.

Most of the time he could only stand there blankly, staring at the ceremony arranged by Vera and thinking randomly.

Pretending that she was useful, important, and buying time for everyone...

Although she knew that this could only deceive herself.

“If only I had not chosen alchemy after leaving Aretusa and being chosen by Lady Vera.” Mary bit her lower lip anxiously.

"Whether it's studying the transformation of elements or delving into the secrets of rituals, they are a thousand times more useful than alchemy at this time."

She watched Vera's movements.

The ritual array on the ground was becoming more and more complete, and every arc in it seemed to be mocking her, belittling her, and scolding her...

This made Mary extremely anxious, and she couldn't help but look up at the war horses that the Demon Hunters had placed aside.

But next second.

She forced herself to resist the urge to ride after Aelin.

Every ghost creature has the highest resistance to spells.

Only the most difficult fire element spells can achieve good results.

pity.

In the past half month, she had only learned three fire spells, and none of them could be cast while riding undisturbed on a bumpy horse's back.

So Mary knew that even if she rode to catch up with Arryn it would be useless and would only hinder him and distract him.

"I'm really useless..."

Mary couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

There was a sudden commotion among the demon hunters ahead, interrupting Mary and causing her to subconsciously look in the direction of the demon spirit.

Although the guards had turned back and walked a distance, it was obvious that...

Because of this commotion, many of the demons that were attracted by them were recaptured by the approaching demon hunting army and the breath of the creatures of Elland.

Furthermore, the number of demon spirits that escaped from the pursuit of the Royal Guards Knights continued to increase.

The speed at which the demon spirit tide was rushing towards Elland was slowly increasing.

But at this moment, a black dot suddenly rushed in front of the team of guards.

"It's Master Vesemir!"

Mary squinted her eyes and looked carefully for a while before she recognized it.

He wielded a blue-silver sword.

In the blink of an eye, three or four green sparks ignited on the left wing of the demon spirit tide.

Many demons that had escaped from the battle were attracted back and followed the guards.

The speed of the demon spirit tide slowed down again.

The situation changed again.

The demon hunters in front all let out a sigh of relief.

Although it may be a bit unfair to my comrades to say this, these infantrymen are different from the guards knights who can run away whenever they want.

Once the demons approach, they can only risk their lives to stop them.

And considering the number of demons...

There is no chance of survival.

and so.

Seeing their comrades leading the demons away again and slowing down the demon tide, they all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

They are not afraid of death and are willing to sacrifice their lives for the Duke and Elland.

But if we can avoid death, who wouldn’t want to live a good life?
Mary looked at Vesemir for a long time, and suddenly a question occurred to her.

"Where's Aelin?"

Vesemir went to support the Knights of the Guards, and then Arryn...

Thinking of this, Mary stood up involuntarily and anxiously looked around into the darkness in the distance.

And then the next second.

"Da da da~"

The sound of galloping horses rang out.

Ailin, carrying two swords on his back, suddenly broke through the darkness and appeared at the forefront of the demon spirit tide.

"Wow~"

There was a loud bang.

The green tide seemed to hit the hardest reef.

The waves suddenly rose.

It's as if the tide has suddenly returned.

Dozens or even hundreds of demon spirits were instantly smashed into the sky, and slammed into the middle of the demon spirit tide, directly creating a large black gap.

It was like a large reef suddenly stood in the middle of the green tide.

"Isn't the power of this Alder Seal much stronger than at the beginning..."

Mary was stunned.

"Da da da~"

The sound of horse hooves is getting closer.

Ailin rode a black warhorse and made a big circle in front of the demon hunters, with the closest distance being less than twenty meters.

Many soldiers in black armor even saw a face more childish than their children and a pair of cold and ruthless blue eyes under the light of the campfire.

But it was only for a moment.

The very next moment.

He once again launched a charge towards the green tide of demons.

Charge alone!
He overestimated his own capabilities but was fearless, just like a small boat fighting the sea.

After seeing this shocking scene, the Demon Hunting Army fell silent for a few seconds, and then suddenly broke out into a violent commotion.

"Cliff, this witcher... this witcher..."

"The Mayday King of Elland..."

"Blue Death, this is Blue Death..."

... Countless chaotic and fragmented voices slowly gathered into a passionate shout:

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

The morale of the demon hunting soldiers was greatly boosted, but when Mary saw this scene, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

She was holding her chest with her right hand and didn't even notice that her lip was bitten and bleeding.

"What happened, Mary?" Vera asked.

Only then did Mary come back to her senses, her mouth full of the taste of rust.

She licked her lips and looked at Vera who was still concentrating on setting up the ceremony. She hesitated for several seconds before carefully describing the scene she had just seen.

After listening to Mary's description, Vera paused for a moment and then continued to arrange the ceremony.

"Almost...almost...just a little while...it will be done soon..."

A vague whisper reached Mary's ears.

She looked up at the demon hunter who was casting the Alda Sign again, knocking back a large number of demons, and couldn't help biting the wound on her lip again.

"It must be alright...it must be alright...it must be alright..."

"Most definitely……"

……

"Da da da~"

Amid the sound of horse hooves, green sparks burned out behind the black warhorse.

The horse's back rises and falls.

Two small groups of demon spirits joined together in the middle of the demon spirit tide.

The green lanterns gathered, illuminating the witcher's face.

His hair was messy and tangled up in the wind, veins were visible around his temples and eyes, and his whole face was slightly deathly pale.

This is a manifestation of the extreme toxicity of the Ghoul Decoction.

A drop of the poison that would kill an ordinary person is a good medicine for a demon hunter to improve his strength in a short period of time.

"All medicines that can improve physical fitness, strength, agility, etc. in a short period of time are harmful to the human body..."

"If it's not necessary, try not to take too much..."

For some reason, amid the whistling wind in his ears, the witcher suddenly recalled the time when he was discovered by the little priest after taking the blizzard potion.

He remembered before that.

Lisa was still skipping around in the garden in front of the iconostasis, humming a ballad about Sleeping Beauty.

"I don't know if the Temple of Meliteli has been attacked by the Wild Hunt's magic..."

The witcher sighed softly.

A thought.

"Main Quest: [Ghost's Revenge Carnival] Eliminate the Demonic Spirit (576/1614)"

Then continue looking down.

[Hunting Mission: Demon Spirit I (Kill Demon Spirit 96/100)]

"Four more?" the demon hunter muttered, turning his head and glancing back.

After losing one third of their numbers, the number of demon spirits seemed much sparser.

And most of them were attracted by the Knights Guard led by Vesemir and him.

The overall shape is a bull's head with two horns, one large and one small.

Vesemir was at the tip of the larger horn, and Arryn at the smaller horn.

In addition, there are about 400 more still floating in the direction of the Demon Hunting Army, but because of the attraction between the two sides, although not as fast as in its heyday, its speed has slowed down a lot.

And with the Demon Hunters here, as long as Arryn and Vesemir can keep these two "horns" stable.

There is basically no problem.

The key is……

Can they hold steady?
The witcher couldn't help but sigh.

"Ah~"

Amid the screams, three more demon spirits turned into green fireworks.

[Hunting Mission: Demon Spirit I (Kill Demon Spirit 99/100)]

If possible, he really didn't want to complete this task now.

Unfortunately……

No!

When he approached the Demon Hunting Army, he took a look from afar at the ceremony that Vera was arranging.

Although it was not feasible to ask him to help, with his level 5 ritual studies and having learned magic rituals, it was not a problem for him to roughly estimate the time it would take to complete the ritual.

It’s faster than I expected, but it will still take at least half an hour.

Vesemir and the Elland Guard Knights, although they held back a large number of spirits, many lights behind them gradually left the corners and returned to the tide of spirits.

And isn't it the same behind him?

As long as he stopped hunting, the demon spirit in the small horn would return to the tide in no time.

Then the speed of the demon spirit tide increased.

This is the future that Ailin can foresee.

So, this hunting mission...

He...had to do it.

"There are still three bottles of ghost..."

"As long as we destroy the monsters summoned by the intersection of the celestial spheres as quickly as possible, we still have a chance!"

The witcher encouraged himself.

Then he squeezed his legs together and began to speed up the horse under his crotch.

He had to stay as far away from Elland as possible without the demon spirits leaving in large numbers, to prevent the huge vibrations caused by the intersection of the celestial spheres from affecting Vera's arrangement of the ceremony.

"Da da da~"

The war horses galloped.

Ailin soon came to a small mound with a bonfire.

Here, along the carnival route, you can clearly see the demon spirit tide, which is about five or six hundred meters away.

Many of the demons and spirits among the "little horns" he had attracted had already begun to leave, so they could not go any further.

"Sigh~"

As soon as the reins were pulled, the warhorse stopped suddenly and neighed loudly.

After dismounting.

The demon hunter first drank a bottle of white honey to eliminate the effects and toxicity of the cat's eye and giant ghoul decoctions on his body.

He then drank a bottle of Giant Ghoul decoction and placed the Blizzard Potion in the most convenient place in the reagent bag.

Although the effect of the previous bottle of giant ghoul decoction is still a long way from ending.

But there is no way.

The toxicity of the Giant Ghoul decoction plus the toxicity of the Blizzard Potion was already the limit of what Ayrin could endure.

In order to eliminate the toxicity of the cat's eye, he had to use blizzard.

Next.

The witcher then threw all the dead branches and wood that he had prepared for the carnival parade into the bonfire.

Then he made an Igni seal.

The dim bonfire suddenly became brighter.

"Whoo~"

After thinking for two seconds and finding no other problems, the witcher breathed a sigh of relief.

A prepared demon hunter is invincible.

If the location of the intersection of the celestial spheres was not uncertain, he would even want to place two Arden magic traps where the monster appeared.

At this time.

A demon spirit vanished twenty meters away from the demon hunter.

The witcher didn't care.

After catching a glimpse of green light appearing on the right rear side, he ducked to avoid the swinging sword.

follow closely.

Stomp the ground with your right foot, spin around, and chop!
A flash of blue light flashed.

With a "hiss", the demon spirit suddenly turned into a green firework.

[Ding! Hunting mission completed: Monster I (kill monsters 100/100)]

[Rewards: Small Experience Beads*4000, Monster Encyclopedia - Monster Spirit]

[Ding, hunting mission: Monster II (killing monsters 0/300) has been activated, do you want to accept it? ]

After accepting the task, the demon hunter took a deep breath and adjusted himself to the best state.

Then he held Elsa tightly in his hand, looked at Vesemir, and then looked at the two small black dots behind the Demon Hunters.

next second.

[Ding! The Monster Encyclopedia "Demon Spirit" has been unlocked. The "Demon Spirit" will appear in 54 seconds after the celestial sphere intersection. Please be prepared! ]
