Chapter 281: Calculation of rewards for defeating the one-eyed ghost spirit

Hearing the cold female voice, the passionate men turned around at the same time.

The full moon is in the sky and the evening breeze is blowing.

The woman in white robe had a full moon floating in the sky above her head, and her long fiery red hair was blown by the wind.

At her feet, the mysterious ritual circle lit up with a hazy purple light, and hot sparks visible to the naked eye gradually emerged from the void and swirled around the woman obediently.

It was as if an ancient god who controlled the power of the moon and fire appeared on earth.

"Buzz~buzz~"

The vibration frequency of the school emblem gradually increased.

From the perspective of the wolf emblem, all the red fire elements within the demon hunter's visible range became active.

They rushed and violently squeezed out all other elements in this space.

Spin around the sorceress.

A huge red tornado is forming.

Connecting heaven and earth.

Except for Mary who was standing beside Vera and staring at the sorceress in amazement, no one else could see what the witcher saw.

However, the warhorse, feeling somewhat uneasy, with its hair standing on end, and with a high level of training, shook its body timidly.

They all stopped what they were doing and involuntarily moved to the outside again.

"Aenye aen'drean Aenyell'hael...Aenye aen'drean Aenyell'hael..."

The cold female voice chanted the mysterious spell, full of rhythm, as if reciting an ancient sacrificial song.

A tide of demon spirits swarmed in, holding thousands of white and green lanterns.

The knights, warriors and demon hunters ignored them and lined up neatly on both sides of the ceremony formation with solemn expressions.

They looked up at the holy figure whose fair skin seemed to reflect the glow of the silver moon.

It seems like they are waiting for the queen's coronation, welcoming the Moon Saint, or even worshiping the ancient Moon God himself.

Ailin heard the chanting and frowned:

"The spell seems familiar..."

"Isn't this the Baptism of Fire, the spell Francesca performed in the consciously abandoned caves of Hudson?"

Thinking of some unpleasant memories in the past, the witcher pursed his lips.

But in the next second.

The chanting of the spell slowed down, and the hot sparks swirling around the sorceress quickly accelerated, gathering towards Vera's open palm.

After a while, it gathered into a fiery red ball of light.

And from the elemental perspective of the wolf emblem.

Vera seemed to hold up a blazing, dazzling sun.

This spectacle-like scene made the witchers open their mouths in surprise.

"Aenye aen'drean Aenyell'hael...Aenye aen'drean Aenyell'hae!"

The cold chanting sound suddenly stopped.

As soon as Vera opened her eyes, her red pupils shone with a blood-red magical glow in the night.

She gritted her teeth and pushed the fireball in her right palm slowly and quickly towards the oncoming tide of monsters.

It seems very strenuous.

The sun, from the elemental's perspective, was also pushed at the same time, passing through the center of the ranks of knights, warriors, and demon hunters.

Nearly two minutes later, it slowly landed in the center of the green tide.

Stuck underground.

Then there was silence.

Deathly silence fell among the crowd.

A few seconds passed, the demon spirit tide was still moving forward, and nothing happened.

The Demon Hunters and the Royal Guards were a little agitated.

They looked at each other, their eyes met, and they seemed to be communicating something with their eyes.

Vesemir also looked at the breathless sorceress who was supported by Mary with confusion.

"Block your senses, especially your hearing!"

Ailin pulled the reins and approached the witcher master, whispering.

Vesemir was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and opened his mouth:

"How did you know..."

The question hasn't been finished yet.

"Buzz!!!"

The school badge's buzzing frequency reached its peak.

Almost like a buzzing sound.

Before he could finish his question, the Demon Hunter Master suddenly turned his head to look at the demon spirit tide.

this moment.

The green tide lit up.

The scorching red light formed a circle with a radius of nearly 100 meters that almost covered the demon spirit tide.

follow closely.

"boom!"

There was a loud bang, as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing.

The ground shook continuously, and the war horses were startled and made restless neighing sounds.

But at this time, no one cared about this.

Everyone stared at the demon spirit tide in amazement and panic.

There arose a pillar of fire that reached the sky.

The sudden change in heat caused the air to distort.

Everything around was illuminated red by this huge pillar of fire; even the gray clouds in the sky seemed to be burning.

“Ding! Main quest: [Ghost’s Revenge Carnival] Destroy the demon spirit (572/1614)”

“Ding! Main quest: [Ghost’s Revenge Carnival] Destroy the demon spirit (683/1614)”

“Ding! Main quest: [Ghost’s Revenge Carnival] Destroy the demon spirit (732/1614)”

……

Although because of the blazing light, it was difficult for the demon hunter to see the demons rushing down.

However, when Ailin opened the Demon Hunter's Notes, there was a constant dinging sound in his mind, and the numbers of the main quest were jumping faster and faster.

The demon hunter swallowed and looked at this scene that seemed to be the end of the world. He once again had a deeper understanding of the significance of the word "bloody red fox".

Compared to the spell that looked like "Baptism of Fire" in front of him, the one Francesca cast in the underground cave seemed like just a small flame of a candle.

"Ms. Vera is so strong!" The witcher couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

There were many people around who were amazed by this magical spectacle like him.

"As expected of a bloody red fox..." These words were uttered by everyone almost at the same time.

"As expected of Ms. Vera, ordinary fire magic is very difficult, and the fire element is like an exposed beast that is difficult to control..." Mary walked over with emotion, "She can actually control the huge fire magic attracted by the magic ritual so freely and cast a spell like the Baptism of Fire..."

The others present could only watch the fun. Mary, who had recently learned several fire spells, understood the difficulty of the spells better.

Magic rituals can only attract magic that is free in the air.

It is difficult enough to absorb only the magic power of the fire element.

With a large amount of magic power pouring in, it becomes extremely difficult to control it, not to mention that the magic power to be controlled is the fire magic power which is known for its violent nature.

"Is the baptism of fire difficult?" The witcher asked curiously after hearing Mary's sigh.

"Difficult?" Mary glanced at him with a complicated expression, thought for a moment and explained, "According to the classification of Aretuza or the Wizards' Council..."

"The Flame Flash I'm learning now is just a beginner spell, and it's already difficult for me to master."

"And Baptism of Fire is a master spell, a veteran spell, and the highest level of master spells. There is also a veteran level in between."

"not to mention……"

Mary tilted her head to look at the Baptism of Fire that was still spewing pillars of fire:
"What's more, this is a fire elemental master spell that has been amplified by a magic ritual."

"Eh~"

After saying this, Mary couldn't help but sigh:

"I only know three beginner spells: Illumination, Flame Flash, and Blaze..."

“I wonder when I can cast a spell as powerful as Baptism of Fire like Ms. Vera.”

Is the baptism of fire so difficult... the demon hunter thought thoughtfully.

"It's not easy to learn three fire spells in less than a month." Seeing that Mary was a little disappointed, Ailin comforted her, "You are a genius, you will definitely learn it quickly."

Am I a genius?
When Mary heard this, she glanced at Ailin, but for some reason she didn't feel praised at all.

Although being able to learn three fire spells in less than a month and cast them on a violently shaking warhorse is certainly not something an ordinary sorceress can do.

For a moment Mary didn't know how to answer.

"Wow~"

Fortunately, the Baptism of Fire changed again at this time.

The pillar of fire gradually disappeared, but the clouds in the sky really started to burn at this moment.

Countless molten magma-like liquids fell like rain of fire on the tide of demon spirits that had just experienced a wave of devastation.

Suddenly.

Thick smoke was everywhere.

Blocking everyone's view again.

This scene was like a spell that could destroy all the evil spirits.

and many more……

The demon hunter suddenly thought of a question.

Main quest: [Ghost's Revenge Carnival] Eliminate the demon spirit (1269/1614)

Hunting Mission: Demon Spirit II (Kill Demon Spirit 0/300)

The main storyline is almost finished.

But if all the demon spirits were destroyed, what would happen to his hunting mission?
He hasn't even killed a single demon spirit in this mission yet...

but.

After thinking about it, the demon hunter found that there was nothing he could do about it.

At this time, it was naturally impossible for him to speak out to stop the sorceress from casting spells to destroy the evil spirits.

Moreover, the Baptism of Fire has reached its final stage and it is estimated that it cannot be stopped.

I can only wait until later to find another opportunity.

Thinking of this, all the fire rain that was flying into the sky fell down.

The smoke gradually dissipated.

Before the witcher had time to see the scene in the smoke clearly, Vera's voice came from behind him.

"Vesemir, Arlin, go and deal with the remaining spirits..."

Are there any remaining demons?
The demon hunter was startled and glanced at the demon hunting notes.

Main quest: [Ghost's Revenge Carnival] Eliminate the demon spirit (1390/1614)

There are still 224 demons?
Just as the smoke had dissipated, there were indeed quite a few demons holding lanterns scattered about on the charred grass, but most of them were a little scattered.

The witcher turned and glanced at Vera.

The sorceress smiled warmly at him.

The demon hunter suddenly had a premonition.

The sorceress left these spirits out on purpose.

“Hahaha…” Vesemir laughed, interrupting Arryn’s thoughts. “How about we compete again to see who kills more demons?”

"Qiang~"

Upon hearing this, the demon hunter immediately drew out the Balmer: "Then you definitely can't beat me."

The unoiled Balmer Sword… The dark golden cat eyes stayed on the plain steel sword for a few seconds, and suddenly became interested.

He didn't think Ailin would make such a low-level mistake as using a steel sword to kill a demon spirit again.

and so……

This Baalmer must have a special effect against spirits.

After killing the one-eyed monster, the sword in Ailin's hand seemed to be this Balmer... Vesemir clenched the silver sword in his hand, and his heart suddenly felt like being scratched by a cat's claws, and it was itchy.

“Hahaha~” Vesemir pulled the reins and shouted heroically, “Then give it a try!”

"Yu——"

Vesemir squeezed his legs together, his warhorse neighed loudly, and immediately rushed towards the remaining two hundred or so demons like a flash of black lightning.

But Ailin was not far behind. When he heard the demon hunter master laughing, he controlled his warhorse and charged towards the demon spirit tide.

The two demon hunters galloped out on their horses almost at the same time, leaving behind the guards knights who boasted that they were willing to die for glory and to not bring shame to their loved ones, their lord, and their comrades who had flown into the Kingdom of Cliff, looking at each other in bewilderment.

A demon hunter soldier carrying a saddle bag looked at the ghost oil in the bag, then looked at the guard knight, then looked at the two demon hunters going away, scratched his head, and asked:

"Sir Arthur, do you still want this ghost oil?"

Arthur looked at the witcher's back and was silent for a long time.

Then he looked back at the knights who looked exhausted and shook his head slightly:

"No need, just send it back for me."

"Yes, Sir Arthur." The demon hunters turned around and walked back to the line.

Arthur glanced at the back of the demon hunter soldier, then looked up at the center of the battlefield.

He said nothing and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Are we really not going?" A guard knight approached quietly and asked in a low voice, "Didn't they say that for the sake of honor, we must not bring shame to our dead comrades?"

Arthur tilted his head and rolled his eyes at him:
"If you want to go, I'll let you go."

The guard knight smiled awkwardly and said quickly: "I don't want to go... I don't want to go... I'll just ask... I'll just ask..."

"It's not glorious to rob our allies of their spoils and military achievements," Arthur explained softly.

And many people died tonight, so the fewer people who die, the better.

"Whoo~"

After Arthur finished speaking, the knights on guard breathed a sigh of relief. However, because so many people made the same move at the same time, the combined sound was surprisingly obvious.

They looked at each other, then burst into hearty laughter.

Yes, although I am not afraid of death, as long as I have a choice...

Who would want to die when you can live a good life?

but.

There were more than two hundred demons, which was actually a large number, but none of the guards thought that the two demon hunters would be in danger.

Instead, many knights began to discuss restlessly, who would win between Master Vesemir and Master Arryn.

In the end, the odds were even opened.

Others who had no interest in this looked at Mary in an ambiguous manner as she stood there in a daze, muttering about topics such as "May Day King", "May Day Queen" and "It's great to be young".

As for the last ones.

They looked up at the sky and seemed to see their comrades laughing and drinking liquor in a toast to their impending victory.

The two demon hunters, who were the focus of everyone's discussion, also arrived at the battlefield at this moment.

Vesemir was not in a hurry to start killing, his eyes were always fixed on the Balmer in Arryn's hand.

Ailin confidently aimed at a demon spirit that seemed to be in good condition, and then he kicked his horse's belly to speed up...

"Hey~"

The sharp blade cut through the air, making an explosion.

The two people's eyes focused on the landing point at the same time.

next moment.

The notched sword blade slashed fiercely at the demon's right arm.

"Pfft~"

Ailin's eyes suddenly widened.

Balmo was like an ordinary steel sword. The moment it chopped the demon, it was bounced back by a thin layer of magic power that had a rubber texture.

"Chi~"

Vesemir drew his sword just in time, chopping the spirit into sparks.

Then he looked at Ailin in confusion, then looked down at the ordinary steel sword in his hand...

The sword of the legendary hero Zatret Voluta...

That's it?

"Qiang~"

Feeling the puzzled look from the Demon Hunter Master beside him.

After Ailin came back to his senses from his surprise, he sheathed his sword as if nothing had happened, and then drew out Elsa, who was glowing with the blue light of ghost oil.

Then, ignoring Vesemir's gaze, he rushed towards the next demon without saying a word.

I thought about the big words I said before leaving.

Someone's toes were curled up awkwardly in the leather boots where no one could see.

"Chi~"

"Chi~"

"Chi~"

……

In the ambiguous silence, hundreds of green fireworks bloomed outside the city of Elland.

Two bottles of ghost oil per person, plus three or four charges...

"Ding!"
