Chapter 2905 Ancient Hunter and the Mark of Sin
Although the atmosphere and environment were extremely depressing, after the doctor was completely wrapped in the black cocoon, there was no abnormality here except for the black light emitted by the entire ceremony and the whispers around. At first, Xia De was quite vigilant and waiting for something to happen, but after half an hour, nothing here changed, and his thoughts were slightly distracted.
Glancing at the long sword in his hand, he asked in his heart:
"What exactly is the so-called [Demon King]?"
【Based on the information I have access to so far, it is not a god. 】
"She" answered softly, and Shade agreed with this answer:
"But if it's not a god, then isn't this being similar to the mermaid currently in Moon Bay?"
He had actually thought about this question a long time ago:
"The mermaid is showing extremely strong power right now, but before I met her, wasn't she sealed in Coldwater Harbor for hundreds of years by a drop of divinity? In other words, no matter how powerful the existence below God is, as long as I still have divinity, the so-called [Demon King] or [Desire] is not a terrible enemy that cannot be solved."
"She" smiled softly:
[So, do you know how to seal something with divinity? ]
"Well, in the divine burning state, can't we use the Mystic Lock - Kiss of the Tree?"
Shad's eyes continued to stare at the motionless cocoon.
[Then the next question is, why, according to the witches, during the battle of Moon Bay, while you were "dead", the mermaid was able to face the attack of the evil dragon god directly, and showed no signs of injury afterwards? ]
"This"
Xia De really couldn't answer this question, but the "desire" being sealed did happen. In other words, the power of divinity must be used in a suitable way to play a role against such strange and powerful beings, but Xia De didn't know how to do it.
Of course, whether "Desire" and "Demon King" can be compared together is just Xia De's guess. Maybe the difference in power between the two is as big as that between Xia De and Mia, but this does not prevent Xia De from treating them as the same at this time.
rustle~
In the silence, the sudden sound became particularly obvious. Shade immediately looked around, but the sound did not come from the ceremony on the open space, but from outside the open space.
As the sound of footsteps and brush being pushed aside came closer, a man with two long swords on his back, dressed in hunting clothes and with a noticeable scar on his face walked out of the woods. But this was not a living person, his body was transparent and emitted a blue light. Even though he was nearly 30 meters away, Shade could still sense the strong whispering element in him.
After the man appeared, he did not enter the ritual area, but frowned at the scene in front of him. Then he shifted his gaze to Xia De and walked towards him:
"Young man, is this the demon who is being tested?" (Dlarion's common language)
He asked Shade this, and Shade saw the equally transparent [Demon Hunter Seal] on his hand and the bright Demon Hunter marks on the buttons, and he immediately understood:
"Are you the ancient demon hunter summoned in the Demon Hunter's Notes?"
"It's not a summons."
The man corrected:
"What you see of me is just the echo from the past left in the notebook. Whenever someone is about to receive the inheritance, those echoes will be triggered. Maybe this face really existed, but I am not him. I am the sum of all the echoes left in the book. What you are holding in your hand is the Night Watchman?"
"You recognize this one, too?"
Shade waved his sword and found that the hunter was not afraid. The opponent should not be the spirit that lives in the book in the story. The fact that Shade could carry the book back and forth through the "space maze" proved this.
The expressionless hunter nodded. He seemed more interested in Shade than the doctor.
"There is no demon hunter who doesn't know this sword. In order to fight those evil spirits, we have forged a total of three of the most powerful weapons -
[Night Watch], we are hunters who guard the night of the world, we need sharp swords;
[Monster Hunter Encyclopedia], Demons are immortal, so we need a way to contain and seal them. This book can seal those demons whose power is completely exhausted and close to being reborn. This is the most reliable prison;
[Lightless Road], this is a compass used to track down evil spirits. As long as the identity and power characteristics of the evil spirits are known, the compass can accurately point the direction for hunters. "
He didn't look at Shade as he spoke, but continued to look at the sword he was holding:
"The birth of these three weapons allowed intelligent creatures to barely maintain their race during the terrible Third Age. After that era ended, we took advantage of the chaos of history and time during the change of eras to bury their names and meanings, hoping that they would perish along with the evil spirits. The existence of these weapons itself has been linked to too many terrible things."
After saying that, he looked up and asked Xia De:
"Since you are recognized by it, why don't you destroy this demon?"
The strange hunter pointed to the large cocoon in the center of the ceremony, and Shade immediately shook his head:
"You should be able to sense it, right? The one who started the trial of "Monster Hunter's Notes" is the demon you mentioned."
"I can feel it, but you're obviously more suitable than him. So, he wants to have the power of both a demon and a hunter?"
"He wants the Hunter's power to help him balance the demonic power he's been forced to possess."
Shad corrected:
"There are many stories, some of which even if I tell them, I feel like I am helping him to go to a doomed end. But he is my friend, and I will take the responsibility to ensure that the worst outcome does not happen, so I will not destroy him."
Hunter expressionless:
"I can feel that he has hunted many demons. He is indeed different from the demons. But I also feel the most dangerous power. He is a container, right?"
Xia De could only guess what he meant:
"If you mean the original demon, yes."
"Don't mention its existence lightly."
The hunter warned Shade again, but he did not object to passing on the power:
"The power of a hunter can indeed suppress the power he contains. If that is the reason, I will help him complete the ritual. But young hunter, do you understand the fate you have accepted when you hold this sword?"
"I wasn't the one who opened that book. I don't want to be a hunter yet. Sorry."
Xia De continued to refuse. The girls around him were against him doing this, so he would never accept this "second job".
I thought this expressionless hunter would continue to persuade me, but I didn't expect him to give up immediately:
"But the Night's Watch is in your hands. You will understand it eventually."
He turned around and was about to step into the ceremony before him. The blue light on his body was swaying like a flame blown by the wind.
Xia De suddenly asked again at this time:
"I want to ask you a question. Was that existence that cannot be mentioned sealed by a man without a wish when it was first created?"
The hunter turned and shook his head at him:
"No one knows how that existence came into being. All the stories circulating so far are just stories. Young hunter, don't delve too deeply into the origin of that existence. If it has never revived in your time, then just assume that it doesn't exist."
He was about to turn around and leave, but Xia De stopped him embarrassedly:
"I'm so sorry. Actually, there's one more thing. It's so hard to meet someone like you who knows everything. Do you know the mermaid named Desire? Which of the two is stronger?"
This time, the hunter stopped and turned around, but he did not answer immediately. Just when Shade was wondering if it was too much to challenge an echo of the past, he finally said:
"For humans, they are actually the same."
"But they are not the same entity after all, right? Although they are both terrifying and powerful, there should still be some differences between them."
The hunter looked at the sword Shade was holding again, which made Shade think that if the Night Watchman was not here, the hunter would never answer this question:
"A mortal once asked the gods the same question in the Third Age. The gods said -
[They were born from the world, but the mark of sin was broken. Although they were close to the highest, they could not become the highest.] (Unknown ancient language in the Third Era)"
"Ok?"
Shade blinked, but the hunter didn't give Shade the chance to ask questions this time. He turned around and turned into a blue light, and immediately got into the black cocoon. The cocoon suddenly expanded and contracted like a heart pumping blood, but soon returned to calm.
His decision to leave so quickly was actually correct, because Shade did want to ask about the book and the compass. If he could find those two things, perhaps the doctor would be able to hunt and chase demons more efficiently in the future.
"Close to the Supreme. Didn't I hear the term [Mark of Sin] last year?"
He asked in his heart, and "she" still gave a gentle answer:
[At the end of last summer, when I first met Desire in the basement of Aurora Manor, she said, "If you could be born in the First Age, you would be qualified to compete for the Sin Mark." ] (413)
"Did the god in the Third Age mean that if the Sin Mark is not broken, then desires and demons are still possible."
But this time, no one could answer his question. It had been too long since the end of the ancient era when civilization flourished. Even if the audience could occasionally see some fragments of sentences from the corners of the performance, they could not piece together all the truth of history.
"After I killed the ancient [Treasure Box Monster] in the secret room of the Golden Music Hall, I did get a [Mark of Greed]. I wonder if there is any connection between them. I hope everything goes well next."
He sighed slightly, watching the blue lines on the black cocoon slowly outlining the symbol of the witcher, and then he continued to wait with the sword in hand.
