Under the night wind.
Not far away, Sack was still reporting the chaos of the day.
The Fabor people who were affected were wailing and groaning.
Skiffins Steinbeck looked back there, then turned back to look at the Hunter with a sigh.
"Will you continue on?"
the Steinbeck heir asked again.
In answer he received an arrow which missed.
The arrowheads are made of iron, the shafts are made of oak, and the tail feathers are from a hawk.
The arrow appeared in front of Skiffins Steinbeck almost instantly. The next moment, when it was about to pierce the heir of the Steinbeck family, a black and white chessboard suddenly appeared under his feet and instantly enlarged.
Suddenly, the arrow that had already reached Skiffins Steinbeck kept moving backwards.
The arrow misses quickly.
It was so fast that it felt like teleportation.
But the black and white chessboard is faster.
Because that is the accumulation of space.
Just like two parallel lines, no matter how fast the arrow flies, it can never reach Skiffins Steinbeck.
"Um?"
Hunter frowned.
He glanced at the chessboard at his feet.
He recognized this ability; it was the special ability of the 'Bartender' agent, the warlock, that appeared during his fourth awakening.
But……
The other party should be dead.
Although there is no entity, the 'lady' said that the other party's breath disappeared.
Even more thorough than 'The Bartender'.
Why are you here?
Could it be?
The Hunter thought to himself, but his hands did not stop.
Bang!
The bowstring vibrates.
Another arrow missed.
Unlike the previous arrow whose distance was infinitely stretched, this arrow moved forward rapidly and surpassed the original arrow's position in a breath - the awakened ability of the warlock agent of the 'bartender' was very good.
But it's not perfect.
Except for the need for a 'response', whether verbal or behavioral, it counts.
Simply put, when a person remains silent or chooses to retreat, such ability cannot be activated.
For a 'hunter' who likes to chase prey, this ability is too passive.
He doesn't like it.
The reason why he doesn't care about the other party at all is because the other party's ability also has a "limit" after it is exerted!
When used for the first time, it can bind the person who 'responded' to the contract extremely powerfully.
Even the title of Legend will seem powerless in it.
But only this wave.
Then the 'power' will drop significantly.
There will be an obvious affordability issue.
To put it another way, once the attack exceeds the opponent's upper limit, there is basically no difference between having such power or not.
Of course!
If the opponent awakens again, this ability will definitely be strengthened.
But The Fifth Awakening of the Warlock?
Stop joking.
It's too difficult.
Bitsin's [Professional] system is even more difficult.
At least there are traces of the [profession] created by that crazy guy Modeus.
And the Warlock awakens?
It's purely luck.
So when 'they' knew that the 'bartender' had such a special agent, no one cared.
Because it can be easily broken.
Just like now.
whoosh!
The second arrow appeared in front of Skiffins Steinbeck.
'Hunter' looks at Skiffens Steinbeck.
He wanted to see what the other party had up his sleeve.
Simple hunting does not include playing with the prey.
But for fun, 'Hunter' will do this occasionally.
Especially before the war.
'Hunter' doesn't mind relaxing a bit.
Facing these three guys, 'Gentleman', 'Wolf' and 'Snake', is bound to be a big battle.
But the real difficulty is the 'Lord'.
That guy where the envelope hierarchy is everything.
It has already jumped out at this time.
That means fighting the 'fisherman' to the end.
As a member of the 'Angler' camp, he will definitely have a fierce battle with the guys in the other camp - most likely the 'Farmer'.
I recall the 'farmer's' 'road' in my mind.
The 'Hunter' was slightly distracted.
And just when he was distracted, a scarlet door of flesh and blood appeared in front of the arrow.
The second arrow was lost and swallowed.
The 'Hunter' quickly came back to his senses.
"Skiffins Steinbeck!"
The Hunter called out Skiffens Steinbeck's name, and at the same time, the attention was raised to the highest level.
After the "Rooster's Flesh and Blood Gate" incident, "they" once again paid attention to Skiffins Steinbeck, the only heir of the Steinbeck family.
Some have bad intentions.
Some extended an olive branch.
But the final result is no different from before.
Skiffens Steinbeck disappeared from their sight again.
Even the 'ladies' can't find each other.
And now!
Skiffins Steinbeck actually appeared in front of him on his own initiative.
There is no way the other party doesn't know his identity.
But it still appeared.
So, there is only one answer!
Skiffens Steinbeck joins the 'gentlemen'!
In other words, the 'gentleman' found and caught Skiffens Steinbeck.
In fact, it was because of the capture of Skiffins Steinbeck that the "gentleman" had the courage to do what he did before - according to rumors, the Steinbeck family not only has the blood of Modeus, but also has astonishing wealth.
Both are exciting.
'Hunter' is no exception.
Although the 'gentleman' must have taken the lion's share, he wanted to get the rest.
"Oh!"
"Steinbeck!"
"Showing up in front of me would be your worst choice - you are too proud and conceited, you never know who you are facing!"
'Hunter' said as he raised his hand.
A large bow that was as tall as a person appeared in his hand.
A strange iron arrow appeared in the other hand.
Draw the bow and draw the arrow.
The 'Hunter' is full of confidence.
Then……
My breath was choked.
In his field of vision, Skiffins Steinbeck raised his hand and two stacks of scrolls half a person's height appeared beside him.
Every scroll is filled with the light of power.
Especially the two pictures that Skiffins Steinbeck had picked up made the Hunter feel a little sad.
"I don't like fighting."
"The combat capability is also weak."
"So, I chose a simpler method - spending money... No, using money to make scrolls."
Skiffens Steinbeck said as he tore open the first scroll.
The hundred-meter-long lightsaber swept across immediately.
"Sword of Dawn!"
'Hunter' exclaimed.
Then, dodge quickly.
This sword was not from Alger Aldridge, the captain of the 17th team of Secret Keepers, but from his father - the 'Sword Saint' who had truly entered the legend and was about to be crowned, but was ambushed by 'them', 'Wolf' and 'Viper', and died in a foreign land.
The 'Hunter' didn't know how Skiffens Steinbeck had obtained the power of the 'Sword Master' and sealed it into a scroll.
But, he knew.
He had to get out of the way.
You know, in the previous plot, the 'wolf', who was known for his physical strength, was seriously injured and took three years to recuperate.
He is not known for his physical strength?
If you get hit, you will die.
So, the 'hunter' started moving.
And the 'Hunter' moves.
The traps on the black and white chessboard began to activate in a chain.
Flame, frost, poison gas.
Darts, crossbows, meteor hammers.
Bats and insects also flew out from some places.
In short, all kinds of strange traps appeared.
Can't hurt the 'Hunter'.
But it will slow down the hunter's movements.
At this time, Skiffins Steinbeck tore open the second scroll.
Buzz!
The hundred-meter-long lightsaber began to tremble at this moment.
Not only is it expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye, but it does not feel bloated at all. Instead, it is more agile and sharper.
It's like being alive.
The sword that was about to cut through the air turned easily and slashed towards the 'hunter' again.
"Zuo Lunsi's Sword Breathing Technique!"
Hunter gritted his teeth.
He was also very familiar with Zuo Lunsi's family.
Because he had personally hunted down an elder of the other family.
I was impressed by the [Sword Breathing Technique].
However, he never expected that [Sword of Dawn] and [Sword Breathing Technique] could be used together... No, under normal circumstances, they definitely cannot be used together.
but……
Skiffens Steinbeck!
The 'Hunter' looked at the young man opposite him.
The other party was tearing open the third scroll.
He couldn't identify the power this time.
He just saw a small wing growing on the hilt of the three-hundred-meter-long sword.
Suddenly, the already fast 300-meter giant lightsaber became even faster.
Moreover, he is incredibly dexterous.
Have you ever seen a 300-meter giant lightsaber that can be bent at will?
Have you seen it?
Okay.
Have you ever seen a giant lightsaber that is 300 meters long, or a lightsaber that is 310 meters long?
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Three hundred small lightsabers chased the 'Hunter' like bees.
The Hunter dodged and moved.
Both avoid flying swords.
Also avoid traps.
And they are constantly fighting back.
whoosh!
The arrow flew out again, but was swallowed by the 'Gate of Flesh and Blood' this time.
The six iron arrows shot after that were all swallowed up without exception, just like the second arrow.
This took the 'Hunter' by surprise.
He had seen the 'Gate of Flesh and Blood'.
But it was the first time he saw the 'Gate of Flesh and Blood' controlled by an individual.
He also didn't know the limit of this 'Gate of Flesh and Blood'.
But he knew that his limit was approaching.
Swish! Swish!
As Skiffins Steinbeck tore open the fourth and fifth scrolls, the 'hunter' felt his body sink. Not only did the pull of the earth grow stronger, but his shadow actually 'came alive'.
Moreover, he became his enemy.
More importantly, Skiffins Steinbeck did not stop.
The sixth, seventh, and eighth scrolls were torn open one after another.
The Hunter's muscles felt numb.
Then night blindness appeared in both eyes.
Then came the appearance of insect bites in the internal organs.
Under a series of negative influences, the hunter's already weak body became weaker, and his speed naturally slowed down.
And just at the moment of slowing down.
The 'Gate of Flesh and Blood' appeared again!
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The seven arrows shot before flew out from the 'Gate of Flesh and Blood'.
The 'hunter' standing in front of these arrows becomes the best target.
Puff, puff, puff!
The sound of an arrow piercing flesh was heard.
The 'Hunter' was not pierced.
He only had a scratch.
"So what even if I have the Steinbeck family's wealth?"
"The gap in strength is still inevitable!"
"and……"
"You are so careless!"
The Hunter sneered, his eyes full of sarcasm, and said, "You want to defeat me with my arrows? Is it for your ridiculous elegance or your insignificant bad taste?"
"But you would never know."
"You're going to die from this!"
“The situation has been reversed!”
Hunter said, waving his hand.
Seven arrows flew straight at Skiffins Steinbeck.
However, the 'Gate of Flesh and Blood' was firmly locked by the longbow - it was not a lock in the conventional sense, but it was inserted in the shadow and was just 'locked' like that.
Ding ding ding!
Three hundred small lightsabers and seven arrows collided.
Although the former are numerous.
But he was no match for the seven arrows.
Seven arrows missed and one moved forward.
It was as if he was cutting through the waves and moving forward towards Skiffins Steinbeck.
"You're dead!"
'Hunter' said viciously.
He never thought that he would be so embarrassed by a guy who was not .
This is true even if the other party is the heir to the Steinbeck family.
humiliation.
anger.
An indescribable rage rushed straight to my brain.
He now had only one thought left.
Kill Skiffens Steinbeck.
besides?
None of it matters.
The seven arrows continued to move forward. They had broken through the blockade of three hundred small lightsabers and were about to rush to Skiffins Steinbeck.
But facing victory, the 'Hunter' felt uneasy.
The hunter's natural keenness made him look around.
But there was no discovery at all.
But the more this is the case.
The more he felt uneasy.
It was just like encountering that black bear during the first hunting trip.
That time, if he had not run faster than the rest of the hunting party, he would have died.
This time!
Same feeling!
The 'Hunter' believed this feeling very much and retreated without hesitation.
But it was too late.
A feeling of numbness sets in.
Then came the pain.
He felt that something unclean was emerging from his body.
Not now!
It appeared a long time ago!
But the series of negative influences that Skiffins Steinbeck had experienced before made him ignore the changes in his body, and it was not too late until he discovered it now...
He is a legendary title.
He is a 'hunter' second to none.
But just as the 'Hunter' was about to crush the unclean thing, Skiffins Steinbeck tore open the ninth scroll.
It's not in those two piles.
But it was taken out again.
The power above shines like a hundred-watt light bulb.
The Hunter instantly felt the terrifying power within it.
But this is how the Hunter felt in the end.
As Skiffens Steinbeck tore the scroll, a skeleton arm with robe sleeves stretched out, grabbed the soul of the Hunter, and pulled it out of the body.
The unclean things completely took over the body and began to revive.
The soul of the 'Hunter' was swallowed by the 'Gate of Flesh and Blood'.
Transformed into Skiffins Steinbeck's 'power'.
Skiffens Steinbeck still looks slightly better than an average person.
But his 'power' is getting stronger and stronger.
That is a special power.
It's 'borrowed'.
It also means 'steal'.
George VI saw it clearly.
However, the former king, who was now resurrected with the help of the Hunter's body, covered his eyes.
"I know the rules."
“I didn’t see it!”
"I don't see anything!"
Looking at George in this state, Skiffins Steinbeck did not comment. He just threw out the promised potion.
George took it immediately, but his face was full of suspicion.
Skiffens Steinbeck was not such a generous person.
really!
The next moment, the heir of the Steinbeck family said:
"Now, you are the 'hunter'. You must tell the truth about everything that happened when you were searching for the 'gentleman'."
After saying this, Skiffins Steinbeck walked into the "Door of Flesh and Blood" and disappeared.
However, the 'lumberjack' among 'them' appeared in front of the 'hunter' a dozen seconds later.
The performance of George VI's rebirth has begun.
