The Divine Hunter - Chapter 618

Chapter 618 The Price of Blood

In the end, Regis took the lead in breaking the deadlock, using rational and calm eyes to appease the restless companion, and then slowly looked at the five people on the opposite side,

“There are two options now in front of you, desperate to fight – you call on your brothers and sisters, and we call the vampire banshee, Kathakarn from the night and the wilderness… Let this ruins flow into a river of blood.”

“But it’s pointless to do this, and it will inevitably hurt innocent people,” Regis said sincerely, looking at the sleeping soldiers in the distance, “We have a better choice, communicate peacefully, and open the skylight to speak eloquently.”

“That group of sleepy bugs has nothing to do with us, and the threat is ineffective.”

The owl raised the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose with a cold face, but returned the sword to its sheath under Roy’s eyes.

The repressed atmosphere in the field was greatly eased.

“Come on then, what are you waiting for? You group of mutants, you dare to make excuses even if you have made a mistake?!”

Dilaf suddenly added fuel to the fire, and with an icy gaze, he did not hide the anger on his face.

“What makes you so confident? Strength? Let me try!”

Then, he attacked unexpectedly, like a gust of night wind, flying towards the owl with lightning and flint.

A dark shadow flashed in the air.

Roy stood in front of his companions like a prophet, and crimson lava Quinn ignited on the dragon’s leather armor. His hands were like red-hot tongs, and he precisely grabbed Delav’s claws.

Arrondette’s “guardian”, potion and Arden’s halo blessing, his strength and speed have completely surpassed the high suction.

The vampire, who was scorched and attacked by a huge force, screamed loudly, so loud that it almost burst his eardrums.

Everyone’s eyes are full of flowers.

I saw a flame human figure and a giant bat jumped into the air together, tangled in a ball, collided quickly, changed directions, and dazzled and attacked frantically.

The giant bat vibrated its pitch-black wings to resist the silver sword, turned into a bat swarm to avoid the impact of flames and air currents, and sometimes opened its **** mouth and roared a sonic hammer, threw a spear full of blood and flames, and swung its sharp claws in mid-air. A bright red bloodstain.

And the long sword in the right hand of the witcher danced so tightly that it kept breaking apart the sharp fangs and claws protruding from the sky, and from time to time, it slashed out a blood-colored sword glow with color.

The left hand even pulled the trigger, and the crossbow arrow broke through the air and brought out a cloud of blood from time to time.

There are even more imprints flying in the sky, stirring up chaos energy.

bang bang bang!

Continuous collision.

At the junction of the sword and the claw, the dark night shattered, and colorful flames erupted over Fin Kahn, as if a splendid fireworks show was going on.

But the witchers and vampires below did not move, tacitly maintaining restraint and preventing the battle from escalating.

After half a minute.

Foss——

An ancient roar shattered the void, roaring across the night sky.

Everyone went into cardiac arrest.

And the big bat that bears the brunt of it froze and fell from the sky like broken wings.

It instantly returned to its human shape when it landed, and the huge impact pushed it back several meters.

Both feet and left hand are on the ground, and half of the right hand is empty.

The    posture resembles a desert lizard resting with its front legs raised.

Dilaf’s cold-sweaty cheeks flashed an abnormal blush, his hands, chest and abdomen, exposed scorched skin and **** sword wounds, several arrows trembled in the flesh and blood.

But all injuries are visibly healing, including the missing right hand.

Puff!

The witcher landed next to Coral, gave the latter a reassuring look, and twisted his neck.

Except for a few pale scratches on the leather armor, he was unharmed.

Even without using shock and awe, he can defeat the high suction!

“How, am I qualified to talk now?”

Roy stared at the embarrassed Dyloff.

At this point in time, the curtain of blood and wine has not yet opened.

But by virtue of memory, he already knew Dyloff.

Being able to fall in love with an alien mortal woman, trusting each other unreservedly, and giving her everything.

will also lead a group of low-level vampires to bloodbath a city after being deceived and abandoned.

He has distinct likes and dislikes, and is irritable.

But in general, this guy can still listen to some advice before the situation can’t end.

As expected, Dyloff silently retreated to his companion, with deep fear and respect flashing in his eyes.

Respect the strong is the consensus of all races.

The Queen of the Night, Regis, and Orianna changed their expressions when they looked at the witcher.

Finally, from the bottom of my heart, I regard them as the objects of equal communication.

“Now, let’s talk… You have to decide what’s right or wrong.” Roy looked around and said loudly, “We wouldn’t have disturbed the party if they hadn’t taken Gaitan and Irene away.”

“Is your Excellency so forgetful? A few years ago, you killed Gruffed on a whim in Vizima, and you let a southern seed die on my turf.”

The Queen of the Night’s voice retorted softly, her charming temperament was exciting,

“The elders of Vikvaro were furious and ordered me to catch the murderer. Unfortunately, we have been trying to find no results for the past few years. Until we were lucky enough to find Gaitan, who was seriously injured and dying, we came up with a compromise method to make up for the southern tribes. the loss, and quell the wrath of the elders.”

“So Your Excellency is the initiator of today’s conflict.”

A high sucker died, so take away the cat and send an assassin to make up for it?

How to make up for it?

Roy’s heart moved, and he vaguely guessed the plan of the four.

“The kind of scum that kills innocents indiscriminately and recklessly **** the blood of human beings. If you die, you will die…” Kaiyan raised his chin slightly, and his scarlet pupils flashed cold light, “Or, do the four agree with Grufid’s evil deeds? ”

“But you shouldn’t slander his corpse…” Regis glanced coldly at the alchemy belts on the chests of several witchers. The four silver jars shone with blood, and they actually had one.

“Haha…” Escal said fiercely with his arms crossed around his chest, “Grufed is unscrupulously hunting humans, so he should have been mentally prepared. Sooner or later, he will be used as material and food by others.”

“Now it’s just blood and blood, karma!”

“This is fate’s punishment for him!”

Gaoshou’s faces were solemn, but they couldn’t help nodding their heads.

Even Dyloff was no exception.

Things cluster together.

The two male high-sucking men present have completely got rid of blood addiction. Although they live in isolation, their eating habits are no different from humans.

The two women, although occasionally drinking blood, strictly abide by the principle of fair trade – the Queen of the Night takes blood from customers, and Orianna takes blood from the orphanage that she runs.

What   Grufed did, went against their principles and violated the iron law laid down by the elders, totally **** it!

“I agree with Your Excellency very much, the truth is this, but it’s useless to tell us, you have to explain it face to face to—the Shadow Elder.” A trace of fear flashed in Dyloff’s eyes.

“Now, it’s too late if you don’t want to take the initiative to meet. The elders will soon be able to draw relevant memories from our bloodline, and learn that you are the culprits who killed Grufid. There is no doubt that it will be in the In the near future, one day, leave the underworld where you have been living for a long time, and take the initiative to find you, then you will not escape the disaster.”

He paused and warned,

“Witcher, I admit that you are very strong, but you can’t compare to the elder. The elder has lived for more than two thousand years, and any words to describe his strength are too pale.”

Dilaf clenched his fists and thoughtfully said,

“To be exact, the elder is the **** of vampires, and with a snap of our fingers, we can be crushed to ashes.”

Except Roy, the other witchers and sorceresses were deeply shocked.

They had never heard of an Elder Shadow.

Over two thousand years old.

There are still such ancient creatures in the world.

Roy straightened his back and said cheerfully, “After today’s matter is settled satisfactorily, I will go and give the elder an ‘explain’, but I have to ask you to lead the way.”

“I hope you will do what you say.”

Regis looked at the young man in front of him deeply, as if to see through his heart, whether he was bluffing or relying on something else.

The strong desire to explore in Roy’s eyes was about to come out.

The shadow elder who hangs Geralt is stronger or weaker than the lion-headed spider **** of bad omens?

In addition, he had a bold idea in his mind. If successful, the elders would become a powerful aid to the Brotherhood.

“Leave aside the matter of the Shadow Elder, I have some other questions I want to ask.”

Roy paused, staring at the eyes of the four,

“Irene and Gaitan, are you still alive?”

The witcher held his breath.

Rescue the village chief’s daughter and the cat assassins is the main purpose of their trip.

The four Gaoshou silently exchanged glances, Orianna folded her hair and tapped her sharp chin.

“As expected of a witcher who is good at deduction, you are right. But now, even if you can calm the anger of the elders, it will not help, it is too late.”

“The boat is done, they have been completely separated from the old life, and it is impossible to return to the past environment.”

“To be clear,” Kaiyan raised his eyebrows, “They were imprisoned? Or were they seriously injured and unable to move.”

“I’m afraid that’s not the case.” Roy’s eyes slowly turned, and he said an astonishing guess, “The four want to transform Gaitan and Irene into the same kind, through some special ceremony-”

He thought of what the old village Davo had seen in his dream divination,

“Lying in a coffin and transforming, the process cannot be reversed?”

His tone was firm, as if stating a fact,

“I, a witcher, killed a high-level vampire. Instead, would a witcher be transformed into a high-level vampire?”

“It’s called making up!”

For a moment, the ruins were so quiet that you could hear needles falling.

Eskal, Owl, and Kaian breathed for a while, and their eyes widened in a rare gaffe.

Turning mutants into high-suckers sounds like a joke.

And the coral blue eyes are full of brilliance, and the index finger is twirling round and round the hair, this is definitely a miracle in the field of life mutation!

The four bitter masters looked at each other, stunned for a few seconds in disbelief.

Regis sighed and almost let out a loud and comical whistle as he looked the witcher up and down in amazement,

“Lord Roy, admit it, you are a high-level vampire disguised as a witcher, right? Otherwise, how would you know our plan?”

“Your Excellency is quite humorous.”

“This is no joke. In fact, you guessed it half right, we don’t usually call this sacred ritual transformation, but reproduction.”

Regis reluctantly touched the damaged temple,

“This is the continuation of our clan.”

“Listen to Your Excellency, can’t high-level vampires reproduce in normal ways?”

Rita Ned quickly grasped the metaphor in his words,

“Sorry, no comment.”

“Aren’t you going to communicate frankly? We won’t give up a member of the fraternity without convincing us with the facts.”

The sorceress touched her beautiful nails and reluctantly emphasized,

“You have strength, and you pay attention to principles. It’s okay to say it if you show mercy a few times. But that history is too sad and heavy. Unless you make a solemn oath, you will never leak any of the next words to the outside world.”

Queen of the Night said,

“If you disobey, your witcher’s fate will be completely cut off in the near future.”

Orianna folded her hands in front of her belly, dignifiedly adding a cruel condition.

But that didn’t scare everyone’s curiosity.

They do what they say.

The night wind is cold.

In the ruins, everything is quiet.

Regis’s magnetic, eloquent voice rang out.

“About 1,500 years ago, our ethnic group, more than 1,000 high-level members, plus a group of low-level members, were involuntarily wrapped in the mighty power of time and space during the first celestial rendezvous, leaving their hometowns. , into this world.”

“The three shadow elders were full of ambition, thinking that the tribe would take root in the new world and thrive, but they didn’t expect that this was the beginning of a nightmare.”

Regis paused and took Natanis’s hand,

“At the beginning of the advent, everything was normal. The males and females of the tribe were able to combine smoothly, reproduce and raise offspring together. Although they can only give birth once in a hundred years, they can barely maintain the scale of the tribe.”

“Going forward, water sources, food, plants, chaotic energy, and all factors in the environment, which are very different from hometowns, begin to show subtle and irreversible power…”

“First, the newborns in the clan began to die in large numbers – in the first five years of birth, due to unknown reasons, the organs of the whole body were deformed and died of exhaustion.”

“One-fifth of the lucky ones survived, but their sanity gradually distorted as they got older, and they were finally completely dominated by blood addiction and reduced to beasts.”

“The elders tried their best, but they couldn’t change the status quo.”

At this moment, the four Gaosi lowered their heads with sad expressions, especially the sentimental Queen of the Night, whose fragrant shoulders trembled, and a few crystals flickered around her long eyelashes.

If you don’t have family companionship in your long life, you can’t enjoy family happiness, and loneliness is inevitable.

Orianna can at least play with the children in the orphanage to pass the loneliness.

But the Queen of the Night can only endure loneliness.

“It’s not over, in the next hundred years, that fifth is gone – all the high-ranking members are completely infertile, and because of reproductive isolation, we can’t reproduce with any other intelligent creatures descendants.”

“Do you know what this means for a race?”

“The catastrophe of extinction, without a steady stream of new blood replenishment, no race can escape the fate of extinction, including the long-lived high-level vampires.”

Roy answered in a heavy tone.

And the coral around him quietly took his arm, his pretty face turned pale, and a sigh of pity appeared.

The current state of high suction is so similar to witchers and sorceresses.

“Six hundred years have passed. Due to various accidents, the number of clan members has dropped sharply from more than 1,000 to 500.”

“Seeing that the time of perdition is not far away, fate finally shows us mercy. The elders have gone through untold hardships… With the experience and strength accumulated in a long life, they have created a way to continue the ethnic group and reproduce the descendants in this desperate world. —”

“That is the transformation in your mouth.”

“How many do you know? Me, Delav, Orianna, and Nathanis are all products of transformation rituals, and we were once mortals.”

Regis’ voice came to an abrupt end, a strange daze flashed in his eyes,

Roy looked shocked, even his “prophet” didn’t know about it.

High-level vampires actually have such a heavy past.

It is no wonder that the Shadow Elder is always eager to return to his hometown in another world.

“The ritual of transformation, can you be specific?”

The sorceress is still not satisfied.

“Witchers use mutations to create companions, and high-level vampires use transformation to reproduce offspring. You don’t think the two are surprisingly similar.”

Maybe this is the world’s punishment for those who live longer?

“How can two different things be mixed up!” Dylav snorted angrily,

Regis tapped him on the shoulder,

“It doesn’t matter if you say it, you will retreat when the time comes.”

“We breed rituals, there are a few iron laws.”

Regis paced around a piece of upturned granite,

“First of all, each tribe member can transform a descendant in a hundred years. Because once a certain substance required for transformation is consumed, it can take a hundred years to restore.”

“Secondly, the object of transformation must be someone who is terminally ill or seriously injured and dying.”

Roy was stunned, no wonder they took away Irene, who was suffering from cancer, and Gaitan, whose blood was draining.

“Can’t a normal person?”

“If you are not grateful for the transformation and accept it wholeheartedly, you probably won’t survive. This is the conclusion of a lot of experiments.”

Only those who are dying will accept a new identity without rejection in order to survive.

“Thirdly, two high-level vampires must work together to provide the blood of one transformation.”

“You guessed it, the main step of transformation is blood replacement, replacing the blood in the human body with our blood. The four of us, happened to transform two newborns.”

No wonder.

Roy slowly scanned the four pale faces.

all have the negative state of hemorrhagic weakness.

“What kind of blood transfusion method?”

Rita Ned.

“First, drain their blood.”

Orianna spread her fingers towards everyone.

Exposing the cross-shaped scar on each fingertip.

“Then put your fingers together and manipulate our blood into their bodies at the right speed.”

Everyone couldn’t help but wonder, this kind of blood transfusion method was unheard of, and only high suction can do it.

“After the blood transfusion, they need a month to transform, our blood will transform their bodies from the inside out and let them be reborn!”

A flash of excitement flashed in Dyloff’s eyes,

“To tell you the truth, this is also the first time I have ‘reproduced’ offspring.”

“So Erin and Gaien, the countdown to transformation has begun?”

“That’s right, and it’s completely voluntary. If you take them away now, the transformation is likely to fail, and you can only take away two cold corpses.”

“But little Irene is about to succeed.”

Regis turned around and looked at the sky. As midnight approached, he turned to the tomb in the distance, and a trace of love flashed in his eyes, like a father who missed his daughter,

“After tonight, the month of January will expire, and she will be free from the disease and reborn.”

“It’s so simple, a mortal becomes a high-level vampire.”

Kayan raised his eyebrows in disbelief,

“Witcher mutations carry untold risks and pains.”

“Your transformation, without any side effects, doesn’t require paying a little price?”

A few pairs of vertical pupils flickered with dim light.

The high-ranking vampires were collectively silent.

“How can it be.”

Regis shook his head regretfully and began his improvisation,

“Everything has a price, just think about it—”

“You are terminally ill, or dying from serious injuries, and you are about to usher in the end of your destiny in agony and weakness.

A precious opportunity is suddenly in front of you.

As long as you accept it, you will soon be reborn, with resilience, immunity, speed, and power response far beyond that of humans, comparable to gods, and the ability to transform into a bat, call demons, teleport invisibility, and your lifespan is almost invisible. end.

But this opportunity follows the principle of equivalent exchange. ”

A decisive, truth-like voice resounded in the night sky.

“You have to give as much as you get.”

The witchers breathed for a while, and they had a bad premonition.

“The mortal blood in the Transformer’s body will be drained, and not a drop will remain. Only with the new blood we injected to maintain the last trace of consciousness, he will touch death at close range and enter a special state of nothingness.”

“In the next month, he can only lie in the coffin, and his body is gradually transformed. The pain of the whole process is comparable to a thousand cuts.”

Regis took a deep breath, his body trembled quietly,

“But these are not the biggest costs. Transformers will transform from the inside out, and the brain is no exception.”

“This means that metamorphosis will take away all his memories and completely cut his past life.”

“He, like a newborn baby, chases sweet food by instinct.”

“The first year of birth—”

Dilaf took over,

“The new people are a group of blood addicts who have lost their memory and are confused.”

“If there is no guidance from the elders, they will tear the necks of all the humans in front of them and **** them into mummified corpses.”

“And it’s like a bone marrow curse.”

“They will especially love the blood of their former relatives. Any smell will drive them mad.”

“What’s more terrifying is that they have no memory and self-control, and will only mercilessly kill all their human blood relatives.”

Not only did everyone get chills on their backs, but they began to wonder if this rebirth was a gift or torture?

“When past relatives are dead.”

Regis finally sighed,

“They will usher in a real new life.”

…

is at this time.

Aiden and Cohen, with old Davao, quietly bypassed the traps and sleeping vampires in the tomb.

Finally, I came to the gorgeous tomb in the center and stood in front of the two marble coffins.
