Chapter 602 - Adopt
Within the Bay of Pigs.
Roar! Roar!
Spiderweb patterns kept spreading out before exploding suddenly.
The Voodoo Corpse freed itself from the restriction easily, many of its tentacles were dancing crazily.
“Ah!”
A few Demon Hunters, who weren’t fast enough to get away, screamed as they were swallowed alive, becoming supplements for the Voodoo Corpse’s life force.
The minor success at the outskirts wasn’t enough to counteract the harsh situation within the Bay of Pigs!
“Stop!” Flock roared and charged in front with swords in both hands. However, he was promptly attacked by three tentacles at the same time and flew to the wall as if he was a cannonball. A dent appeared on the wall, and the painful sounds of bone fracturing came from all over his body.
“D*mn it… The Demon Weapon and medicament has been used up…”
All he could see was blood red view, as he was beginning to fall unconscious. “Am I going to die… As the vice president of the branch and the head operator of this mission, I’m afraid that I’ll become a classic, bad example…”
“Haha…”
Among the flames, the body of Evil Demon Seth had completely materialized. He stretched out his large burning wings and said some words in the Evil Demon language that rattled in everyone’s heart. Although it couldn’t be understood completely, every human could comprehend the meaning within the words.
“Fear me… Hate me… All of your blood and meat will become food for an Evil Demon… Your souls will be offered to a greater existence!”
On the ground, the flame ceremony extended, turning the entire dock into a large slaughterhouse.
Under the rampage of the Evil Demon, the lucky survivors could only struggle desperately.
“I need to leave this place as soon as possible!”
In the outskirts, Fang Yuan, who had just finished slicing up and collecting part of the Fire-practising Demon, was moving non-stop. “If I want to live, I’ll need to leave this slaughterhouse immediately!”
Behind him, Almon piggybacked a passed-out Peter while Rayne was bringing the other smaller children. They were all looking in the direction of the Bay of Pigs, their faces were filled with terror.
Although they had been exposed to the dark side of the world, they realized that the difficulties they had met with was nothing compared to the true brutal slaughters between the clans and species.
“Luckily… that Seth hasn’t been summoned completely yet. Furthermore, most of its attention has been directed towards the offering ceremony…” Fang Yuan felt at ease but promptly tensed up again.
What kind of existence would an Evil Demon offer sacrifices to?
There might be only one thing within the entire Alcala Mainland; the ancestor of all Evil Demons and the Night Family Clan — Mother of Reproduction!
Even among Evil Demon Kings, the strongest one — Master of Desire, couldn’t surpass its position.
“Unless… this existence is coming back after vanishing for such a long time?” Fang Yuan thought of an idea. “Or maybe Seth found out something and needs to confirm it using this method?”
Swoosh!
As he was prepared to leave, a glow appeared in the eastern sky, tearing up the black sky.
After experiencing a night of chaos, daybreak was finally arriving.
“It seems that… the reinforcements are here!”
A golden light flashed across Fang Yuan’s eyes and he smiled.
A small, soft sound kept increasing in volume until it became the sound of a sword!
Under the morning light, a fast-moving figure appeared unexpectedly at the horizon. In a blink of an eye, it arrived at the Bay of Pigs.
“Morning Stars Swordsmanship — Dawn!”
A sound similar to two metals rubbing together echoed. Straight after the sound was heard, a human appeared in Fang Yuan’s mind, he was tall, had a firm expression, and the large sword in both his hands was extremely stable!
Zap!
Brilliant white light from the sword appeared as if it was the light of dawn, tearing through the night, drowning the entire Bay of Pigs in light.
Bang!
The original Voodoo Corpse, who was wreaking havoc, was shocked, its huge body was engulfed by the light emitted from the sword.
At that moment, it was as if its entire body was dismembered before it exploded.
With just a sword, the high-class blood demon became nothing instantly!
“Mr. President!”
Flock’s energy rose and became elated because the real savior had arrived!
Daybreak sword Seres! Titled Demon Hunter! President of Demon Hunter branch, an existence that could compete with the Evil Demon face to face!
“Seth, it’s you again!”
Seres had a large build and was wearing a linen gown. He looked unusually simple—even the large sword in his hands was as plain as ever.
However, when he became serious, he was like a sharp sword that would give off a razor-sharp aura. “Could it be that the slash I gave you wasn’t enough? Do you want a harsher lesson?
“Seres!” The Flaming Evil Demon roared as the flames and sulfur around it became much stronger, “You Demon Hunters won’t be pleased for long… the great Mother of Reproduction will soon awaken. This world, will eventually still belong to us, the great Night Family Clan!”
“You speak too much nonsense!” Seres knitted his brows and moved forward slowly, taking his sword out.
Buzz!
In the surrounding area, the original flames solidified.
In the sky, the glow of the stars expanded and fell, one by one, extinguishing the flames and stopped the array, forming a dazzling stage.
On the stage, was a person — a sword! Yet, it emitted such brilliance. “Starry Night!”
Zap!
A large sword that looked like it was formed by starlight appeared, emitting a diamond-like starlight and viciously slashing at the dimension door.
“Ah!”
The Flaming Evil Demon roared as a wound appeared on its chest.
The entire dimension door became chaotic and started to collapse.
“Next time… my true body will appear in front of you! You human beings… won’t be so lucky again…”
Accompanying Seth’s unwilling roars, the dimension door collapsed completely and vanished, bringing its body with it.
“Listen, Demon Hunters, kill the remaining Night Family Clan members immediately!” Seres sheathed his sword slowly, his face, like a thousand-year-old ice mountain, was constant and unchanging, his voice, like metal being struck, traveled far.
“Coming in to save us in the most critical time, as expected from the Daybreak Sword!” Fang Yuan couldn’t help but exclaim after witnessing that. “So there’s actually a fourth state above Dawn for Morning Stars Swordsmanship. And that is Starry Night… it’s equal to Obtain!”
This Legendary Demon Hunter hadn’t only saved the entire Bay of Pigs, but he also gave Fang Yuan guidance for his future path, the benefits he gave was difficult to calculate.
At this moment, he took a look at his own stats.
He saw that the mark behind Morning Stars Swordsmanship, originally Old Moon, had unexpectedly changed—to Dawn!
The place he could increase his experience the fastest was to participate in a war. In addition to that, there was a hint from Seres’s own performance. It would be weird then if he couldn’t break through the previous state.
“Morning Stars Swordsmanship (Dawn): A swordsmanship invented by Daybreak Sword. Through your revision and refinement, it has become more efficient for one’s body to perform. There are four levels in total, and currently, it’s in the (Dawn) state! With your high level, you can condense the air to deliver a powerful attack!”
“The so-called state of Dawn was actually the trump card and last resort that could condense the spirit of the sword, just like the sunlight’s dawn that tore apart the dark sky?
Fang Yuan looked at the description and nodded his head. “Nothing after the state of Starry Night is written in the secret manual. I based it on the damage Seres’s blow inflicted in order to calculate the power scale of that state!”
A branch president, and also a Legendary Demon Hunter, equal to a Power Obtainer. It’s obvious that the limit of this world was high.
It may even hold up against the standard of a Sage!
“Let’s go quickly!”
He looked towards Almon and Rayne, his tone filled with urgency.
“Why do we have to go?”
Almon was a little blur, “Mr. Demon Hunter, didn’t we win?”
“Yes, we won!”
Fang Yuan sighed, and pointed at Peter, “But what do you think will happen if the other Demon Hunters saw him?”
In actual truth, even Almon herself was a descendant of a Master.
Of course, she didn’t know it herself. That small traces of hidden Evil Demon bloodlines was hard to find, but the situation may differ in front of a Legendary Demon Hunter.
“Understood!”
Almon took a deep breath, “Rayne… Let’s leave!”
“Okay, Sister Almon!”
Rayne answered her but had looked lost.
After losing the Bay of Pigs, where can they, the orphans, go? The shock from tonight’s event was too huge.
“If… you guys have nowhere to go, I can provide some help!”
Fang Yuan said slowly, “Moreover… I might be able to do something about this little boy’s situation… After all, he’s very dangerous, are you clear about this?”
Almon nodded her head solemnly.
She had long realized that aside from Rayne, the other children had consciously drifted away from Peter, their gazes filled with fear.
As if… they were looking at a monster!
In this situation, to force them to live together was only being irresponsible towards both theirs and Peter’s life!
“We… shall prepare to go to the Hurin area!”
One robber, bringing a bunch of deadweights didn’t have the ability to trek for long distances; that was their only option.
However, being told about her plans made Fang Yuan satisfied as this represented a certain level of trust between them.
He took out a memo and wrote down an address, “After getting to the Hurin area, you can either find me there or leave a message for me.”
After thinking for a moment, he took out a pile of coins and passed it to them with the memo, “Don’t resume your old job there or you’ll get into trouble!”
Thieves, robbers, and even ambiguous businesses in any area had a strong territory there with its own set of rules.
Sometimes, they were more effective than detectives and police when dealing with robbers that came from other areas.
“Thank you!”
It was clear that Almon understood the logic behind it. After struggling for a while, she went on to receive his aid.
“What… do you want from us?”
After hesitating, she still said the words eventually.
There is no love or hate in the world without a reason, there must be a reason why Fang Yuan was willing to assist her. All Almon hoped for was that compensation the Demon Hunter wanted to have in return wouldn’t be going overboard.
“I like smart people. I’ll provide shelter, safe housing, and sufficient food, the price for that is… I need you all to become my underlings!”
Fang Yuan said it without batting an eye.
After becoming his underlings, he would be able to manipulate them in any way that he wanted. How could he tell them to be his experiment subjects? That would definitely chase them away!
