606 Sacred Water (1/2)

”I swear to use the sword in my hands to safeguard the Sacred Light!

”I swear to follow the Demon Hunters' seven 'Taboos,' and kill demonic entities forever!

”I swear that I will have a firm will and never be bewitched…”

…

Fang Yuan blended into a bunch of Demon Hunters and pledged with a solemn expression.

This was a small church, the Demon Hunters were attending as if it was a religious service and would go through a fixed ceremony regularly after a certain period of time.

However, in Fang Yuan's eyes, this had another feeling, ”In order to confirm one's belief, there is such a meaning in Kotodama[1.Japanese belief that mystical powers dwell in words and names]? That's right! As a group of people who come into contact with darkness the most—Demon Hunters are individuals who can easily degenerate. There's also the Sacred Cup and Sacred Water!”

As his identity and position were different now, He didn't need to force himself to wait with the newbie Demon Hunters outside. Instead, he was at the center of the church, observing the process of making Sacred Water.

”Brothers, we shall share the Sacred Water. Give thanks to the power bestowed to us by our ancestors that allows us to have the power to fight against the darkness!”

A Demon Hunter with white hair stepped forward, his hand was holding onto a simple and unsophisticated wooden cup.

This was the vice president of the branch. His name was Roger, but he was different from Flock. As the holder of the Sacred Cup imitation, he usually wouldn't walk out of the branch.

”Sacred cup?” Fang Yuan focused on the other party's movements, a gold glow flashed beneath his eyes.

His shocking vision allowed him to see the model of the Sacred Cup clearly. In actual truth, the Sacred Weapon imitation in the Demon Hunter's hand looked average and was the shape of a normal, wooden goblet. The wooden grains were very detailed and clear.

At that moment, a tiny stream of water gushed out from within the cup when Roger turned it over, as though there was no limit. There was also a fragrance.

”As expected of a Sacred Weapon imitation, a high-grade product made from alchemy!” Seeing that, Fang Yuan had a revelation, ”In actual fact… the entire Sacred Cup is an extremely exquisite alchemy medicament array. Its use is to purify and extract the energetic spiritual energy from the bodies of the Night Family Clan to produce Sacred Water?”

As can be seen, there ought to be a large cell within the branch or a storeroom that guarantees the unending supply of the ingredients used to produce Sacred Water.

”Let us share the Sacred Water to fight against evil!”

Roger's voice was old, but firm and filled with power. He raised the hand that was holding onto another ordinary cup filled with Sacred Water.

”Long live the Demon Hunters!”

Many Demon Hunters cheered and drank the Sacred Water.

”Going against evil with the power of evil?” Fang Yuan laughed sarcastically but didn't reject the power, drinking all of the Sacred Water given to him.

”Phew…”

The Sacred Water that was processed seemed to have none of the characteristics of the Night Family Clan's original power. Instead, it had a virtuous presence, so there was no mystery as to why the Demon Hunters were deceived.

In actual fact, if it wasn't for Fang Yuan's rich experience and how he didn't hold onto his first impression, he most likely would've been deceived like the Pharmacist masters and Alchemists.

”However… the Sacred Water really is good for the human body, it'll increase the fitness of Demon Hunters… especially for me!”

Other Demon Hunters could only increase a small amount of their strength, provided that they trained excessively after drinking Sacred Water.

However, Fang Yuan was no longer stuck at a bottleneck, his state was extremely high. With the confidence he had regarding his body, he was able to feel the cells cheering, fighting to swallow the power within the Sacred Water.

Not long afterward, his body's attributes rose again:

”Name: Hulk (Fang Yuan)

Essence: 22.0 (110)

Spirit: 22.0 (100)

Magic: 22.0 (120)

Profession: Demon Hunter

State: Healthy

Technique: Basic Grapple (Proficient), Gun Fighting Skill (Normal), Secret Study (Normal), Pharmaceutics (Normal), Alchemy (Basic), Morning Stars Swordsmanship (Dawn), Shady Flow Flying Claw (Black Claw)

Specialization: [Medicine (Level 3)], [Botany (Level 6)(Peak)], [Fiery Golden Eyes (Level 3)], [Body Seal (Ultimate form)]”

”Shady Flow Flying Claw: A technique invented by Shady Flow Master Jax, it needs to be accompanied by a customized claw Demon Weapon to advance. It's suitable for various complicated environments, it's divided into three levels: Black Claw, Sharp Claw, and Shady Claw!”

”Shady Flow… A martial art-like genre?”

Fang Yuan paused at the description of Shady Flow Flying Claw and had thoughts about it. He promptly saw the increased attributes and was elated, ”Sacred Water… with enough of it, I might be able to recover my strength quickly… Weird, why did the Sacred Water from before not give me this kind of feeling… wait a minute!”

After the core Demon Hunters at the scene used the Sacred Water, Fang Yuan looked at Roger in frustration. He mixed the water before handing them out to the Demon Hunters outside.

”D*mn Demon Hunter branch, the Sacred Water that was given to Hulk wasn't only a fake, but also diluted…” He spat out in his heart. Fang Yuan felt the harshness of the Demon Hunter hierarchy, more and more, which was very similar to the food chain pyramid.

The newbie Demon Hunters outside had no qualifications to even enter the church and could only drink diluted Sacred Water. On the other hand, the elites could enjoy the gift of the pure Sacred Weapon imitations.

However, when compared to the branch president, Seres, it was nothing.

”The Sacred Water in the Sacred Weapon imitation has no effect to a Power Obtainer right? Hence, Seres would generally not appear for this occasion. The one he usually uses must be from the Demon Hunter headquarters, the original product from the real Sacred Cup…”
