Ember Gun

  Chapter 76 New Era

  In the end, the so-called monsters became spectators. They wailed and fled, but were inevitably engulfed by sword blades and fireworks. The pitch black and white were intertwined, turning into a thick gray storm that swept the battlefield.

   Ed was finally freed, and after the cold voice disappeared, he finally got a temporary peace, and then he brought fireworks and a silver sword to Lorenzo and killed him.

  At the moment, both of them are uncomfortable, just like a machine running overloaded, on the verge of collapse.

The secret blood originates from the demon. Even if it becomes controllable after hundreds of years of hard work by the cult, it does not mean that this weird thing has been tamed. It is still gearing up in the body of the demon hunter, waiting for the counterattack. time.

Just as the decontamination agency sets the value of the original sin armor, the secret blood also has its critical value. According to different types of secret blood, the critical value is also inconsistent, but it is clear that when a demon hunter is rational, the strength is The limit is the critical value, but once the secret blood breaks through the critical value, the demon hunter's body will begin to demonize.

Every demon hunter is a terrible individual machine. The price of demonization is loss of control. It is a terrible person who can hunt demons under normal conditions. Once he loses control, he will be a hideous dragon. So the gospel The church has carried out a series of insurance facilities for the Demon Hunters, such as the Templar Knights who specialize in dealing with events related to the Demon Hunters, and the silver-binding bolt that strangles each Demon Hunter’s throat.

The body was collapsing, and the surging holy silver spread in the flesh and blood and burned Ed’s life, but the secret blood that was constantly awakened was also healing Ed’s injuries. Melt down, it began to gradually lose its limits, until Ed's body was completely demonized.

  It was a pure white demon with an extremely holy flame, baptizing the earth and all creatures, but there would always be resistance in it, and several thorns rushed out of the fireworks surrounding Ed.

  Lorenzo strode forward holding the black sword. At this moment, there were no demon hunters in front of him. There was only a poor man swallowed by secret blood, a demon waiting to be slaughtered.

   "Offensive!"

   Ed was roaring, so the monsters around him began to restlessly. Their instincts warned them of Lorenzo's danger, but the order from Ed forced them to obey.

"kill him!"

That was another order. The boiling fireworks burned all the thorns. Ed rushed towards Lorenzo like an escaped beast. Following his second order, the wavering demons also rushed towards him. Lorenzo, with a hoarse wailing, like a sad dead soul.

  There was a little more solemnity on the pupils under the visor, and Ed did it again.

  According to Lorenzo's knowledge in the Demon Hunting Order, mortals can't control demons at all. Even simple control requires a lot of sacrifices, and even their own costs, but now Ed has done it so easily.

Time is really a terrible thing. Lorenzo once thought that everything was over, but it was only six years. More and more things beyond his imagination appeared in the world, such as dead monsters, such as Ed. That weird power.

  The sword-blade confrontation, once again roared.

   "What exactly did you do? Why can you control demons?"

  Lorenzo's voice came from under the dark armor, muddy and heavy, with a metallic sound.

   "Want to know, I can exchange answers with you."

Ed was madly smiling. As a demon hunter, he has been fighting against the darkness all his life. Even if he possesses the power to command demons, the dignity of being a demon hunter is difficult for him to use, but at this moment he Used it, and got the bargaining chip with Lorenzo for the first time.

  They all harbored secrets that the other party wanted to know, so the pure flames rose, and the black armor screamed.

It was a battle beyond ordinary people’s imagination. The dark night was boiling bright as a result, and the air was scorched. Endless monsters flowed up meaninglessly like moths, and then died. The ashes of the corpse fell like snowflakes. Dotted with this death fight.

Lorenzo was silent, and the warning from the Silver Bolt in his mind was still the same. Unlike Ed, he would not easily break through the critical value. It would not only increase the strength, but also loosen the cage. After all, he was in I have seen it in [Gap], that monster has been eager to get out of bondage.

"talk!"

Ed yelled wildly, the burning blade was slashed fiercely, and his eyes were bursting with whiteness. The solid black armor was finally shaken by this swing of the sword, like a broken ice surface, and black armor pieces flying, But beneath that was not a blood-stained wound, but a boiling firework.

Lorenzo did not try to evade the attack. Under the critical value state, there is no need to evade any attack. The wanton growth of the secret blood is his best backing at this moment. But in the end, it was resisted by metal substances.

  Under Lorenzo's sword, the madly growing fireworks was contained for the first time, and out of the dazzling light, Lorenzo once again saw Ed's hideous face.

It was a suffocating scene, and even said that the demon hunter in front of him is no longer a human being. Hot metal gushes from his facial features, cast iron like cast iron, melting and solidifying along his body, and finally with the deformed flesh and blood. Mixed together.

Even Lorenzo’s sword-swinging blow was the same, tearing open the fragile skin, underneath it was the solidified holy silver, which formed a second line of defense under that skin to resist Lorenzo’s Attack, but the same pair of monsters' highly toxic substances are also sealing the secret blood in Ed's body.

   "You... your silver bolt is completely melted, Ed, you are about to die."

  Lorenzo's voice looked a little cold, but in fact he wanted to bring some emotions to say, the hatred of the depravity of the demon hunter, the sadness of the dying, but when it came to his lips, it was only cold.

  Silver Binding Bolt, the most perfect technical product of the Gospel Church, the device composed of sacred silver and mechanical equipment, the appearance is a metal skeleton similar to the human body.

It is a weapon specially forged for the demon hunter. After the demon hunter successfully absorbs the secret blood, the implantation of the silver binding bolt will be carried out. It is a brutal operation, and only when the demon hunter awakens from the secret blood , Reach the physical ability far beyond ordinary people to withstand this transformation operation.

In the normal state, the silver bolt will protect the internal organs of the demon hunter. Even if it is hit by a bullet, it will be blocked by the deeper metal of the flesh and blood. When the blood secret is awakened, it will be the last yoke to contain the demon hunter. .

The nerve electrode spreads from the spine and has a sophisticated mechanical structure built in. It adjusts the function of the silver-binding plug according to the electrical signal. When the witcher awakens from the secret blood, it will be activated, according to the nerve state and the degree of awakening of the secret blood. Give a warning, but when the witcher begins to demonize irreversibly, it will begin to melt away.

As the internal sacred silver melts and overflows, it will begin to expand along the Demon Hunter’s bones, and finally burn out the internal organs, but this is not the end, it will form a blockade in the process of melting, blocking the blood secret Among the holy silver, waiting for the recovery of the Templar Knights for secondary use.

At this moment Ed's is like this, the silver-binding bolt is completely melted, and the holy silver has flowed through all of his body. It stands to reason that the holy silver will solidify, and Ed will die like a sculpture, but this Michael hunts a demon. Humans have a will far beyond imagination, and the rising pure flames constantly generate high temperatures, making the Holy Silver unable to solidify. As long as the flames are still burning, Ed can continue to fight.

The demon of silver and white flame wielded the sword again, there is no so-called pain, only fury is left in his heart, so the demons also furious with him, and the demons who rushed bite Lorenzo stubbornly. They didn't want to attack him, they just wanted to trap him.

They were as numerous as a sea of ​​sand, and they piled up Lorenzo heavily, only that there was no room for the dark blade to swing, and at last Ed leaped high, carrying fireworks and sacred silver, as if falling. The falling star burst out with the most dazzling light.

   Blazing flames engulfed them together, and even the pitch-black armor melted under the last light. As for the monsters, they disappeared like dust in just a moment.

  The sword has melted, as is the black armor under the sword. Ed seems to have won, and Lorenzo under that armor has disappeared, seeming to be scattered with the wind like the monster.

  He finally won, but it seemed a little lonely, but at the moment when he relaxed his vigilance, the metal tore the air and brought a furious roar.

  Lorenzo leaped high in the air, a nail sword burning with pure flames in his hand.

  The demon hunter abandoned the armor at the last moment, successfully evaded the fatal blow, and made the illusion of death to make Ed relax, and at this moment he released the most fatal blow.

  The body vacated, grasp the nail sword and make a full rotation to maximize the speed of the blade. This is a very risky attack. As long as Ed is aware of a little Lorenzo in advance, he will be hit like a target, but it is also a very rewarding blow, as long as it can be cut enough to end the battle.

  This is a blow that contains sacrificing in swordsmanship, abandoning oneself and living to death.

  It was the falling knife that ended all this frenzy.

  A huge wound exploded from Ed’s chest, and the unsolidified Holy Silver and the deformed flesh and blood, whether it was resentment or sorrow, were at peace at this moment.

  Like the end of a heroic drama, Ed stood stunned, and the hand that was raised in the air to meet him dropped weakly, and finally the whole person fell into the liquid holy silver.

   "Is this the end? It's really sad."

  Soaked in the liquid holy silver, the face covered by holy silver was a little unwilling to say, the rising fireworks stopped at this moment, and gradually extinguished, leaving only the embers burning slightly, which looked extremely sad.

  "Do you want one?"

  Lorenzo spoke on his mouth, but did not wait for Ed’s reply. He directly stuck a cigarette on the embers, lit it and placed it on Ed’s dry mouth.

"what is this?"

  Even if it was dying, the senses of the demon hunter still noticed the abnormality of the cigarette, and Ed asked weakly.

   "Toxin, it will numb your nerves and eventually kill yourself."

  Lorenzo said that he lit a cigarette for himself, then lowered his head to look at him.

   "The secret blood will continue to live for you for a while, and you will be tortured by the holy silver, so it's better to die like this, isn't it?"

   "euthanasia?"

"probably."

  The two talked casually, clearly they were your old enemies a second before, but at this moment it was like becoming friends.

   "Actually... Holy Night is related to a [Messiah]-class containment object. You should know what it is."

  After thinking about it for a long time, Lorenzo seemed to have made some decision. He watched the monsters around him who were afraid to step forward and said slowly.

  'S dim eyes brightened slightly, Ed said.

   "So this is why you refuse to say the answer?"

  Lorenzo nodded stiffly.

   "Yes, that thing has almost unstoppable memetic pollution, even if I talk to you now, there is a chance that it will spread."

   "Then why are you willing to say it again at this moment? Demon hunter? I am dying. Doesn't it matter if I know it? Or is it the reason why I can control the demon?"

  Ed smiled hoarsely, his deformed face swayed slightly, and it looked like an inexplicable horror.

  Lorenzo did not speak, but just nodded.

   "So is this pity for me?" He laughed louder, shaking his head vigorously, metal rubbing, making a oozing noise.

  "This is not enough, Demon Hunter, this is not enough."

  This answer does not satisfy Ed. He is about to die. Many things don't matter. Whether it's the **** thing breaching containment or the survival of human beings, these are worthless in the eyes of a dying person.

   seems to have expected such an answer, Lorenzo just lowered his head sadly, thinking back to his previous dreams.

In fact, the whole incident is also a fragmented mass in his eyes. He experienced the night of the Holy Advent, but did not experience the birthday of God. Only the guy who lived in the [Gap] knew all this, but the real he was already dead. .

  But despite this, he could already guess something. After all, Lorenzo had been a detective in Old Dunling for six years.

   Slowly sitting on the solidified holy silver, Lorenzo looked at the head in the holy silver and said.

   "Ed, have you ever thought about the ending of our demon hunter? Is it to retired from the military with peace of mind, or to become the defender of the Pope and live in the place of seven hills with integrity?"

  He seemed to be talking to Ed, and he seemed to be talking to himself, his voice was full of resentment and hatred, and he reprimanded loudly.

   "Nothing! Ed, nothing! Yeah, the demon is dead, but there are still humans in this world!"

   Thinking back to Master Lawrence’s words, all this is so clear.

"Inverweg possesses advanced steam technology. The nine summers in the Far East are so huge that they can easily overthrow a kingdom with human tactics even with weapons that are one generation behind, and even those Vikings who are in constant war The nations also began to unite.

  The times have changed! Ed used to be the center of the world, but now we are no longer. More and more power is emerging in the new era! "

  Lorenzo looked at Ed, his expression full of grief.

"So what do you think is the final outcome of the Demon Hunter? We have the ability to fight as a single soldier beyond ordinary people. The sect has the most detailed technology about demons. How do you feel that we have lost all kinds of opportunities in the new era? Catch up with other countries?"

  Lorenzo couldn't help laughing.

   "We fight against demons, kill demons, and finally enslave demons."

   Breathing hard, dropping the burnt cigarette butts at will, looking at Ed, who was already stunned, all this is so absurd.

   "So this world is really meaningless, isn't it?"

With the roar, Lorenzo looked at Ed, but Ed had been silent for a long time, and the ashes of tobacco remained on his hideous cheeks. He was dead, but Lorenzo I don't know when he died, or even if he heard his final reprimand.

   Slowly stood up, his expression gradually became cold, he squeezed the nail sword, and looked at the slowly approaching monster, Lorenzo laughed at himself.

   "It's really helpless..."

  　 Probably... two in one, this is the case today.
