634 Reparations (1/2)
In the morning, warm rays of sunlight shone down.
Together with the nearby Sacred Mountain Demon Hunter Headquarters, the whole of Kotori City had long transformed into a wasteland.
The invasion from the previous day had also caused the Night Family Clans to suffer a huge loss. The number of dead Evil Demons exceeded 10, and this included Darkness Evil Demon Ainz from the original powerful Evil Demon trio. The remaining Evil Demon trio, ”Chaos” and ”Evil,” were also heavily injured and could be considered defeated.
Even the Night Family Clans were in this state. On the other hand, the losses of the Demon Hunters were much more difficult to calculate.
Let's not talk about the casualties of the average Demon Hunters and their families. Within just the whole Demon Hunter Headquarters, the people there were also massacred, and many structures and buildings were burned to ashes.
The even more shocking part was the deaths of three Sacred Weapon holders, which were killed by the Evil Demons, and they even destroyed the Sacred Spear and the Sacred Cup!
The blow to the Demon Hunters' minds was indescribable.
Almost all the newbie Demon Hunters knew that, to Demon Hunters, Sacred Spear was an undefeatable legend, whereas the Sacred Cup was what they relied on to become Titled Demon Hunters.
Without the strongest offensive weapon and cultivation, the Demon Hunters had no more successors; this problem could almost be seen.
After all, with only the Sacred Cup imitations, that were scattered all over the world, Titled Demon Hunters couldn't be cultivated.
It was too difficult to completely rely on the A-grade Demon Hunters to achieve a breakthrough on their own.
Compared to the Sacred Spear, the Demon Hunters that didn't know the truth would rather have both the Sacred Spear and Sacred Coffin to be destroyed together, rather than lose the Sacred Cup.
However, nothing could be reversed.
Although the Evil Demons had retreated, licking their wounds, the activities of the Night Family Clans were completely unrestrained.
At the same time, a large number of elite Master clans surfaced and controlled different government sectors and weapons. They began to announce their plans of unifying the whole Alcala Mainland.
At that moment, it was as if the roles had reversed.
The Night Family Clan changed from darkness to light, and they claimed that they wanted to rebuild the ancient Dark Empire.
And Demon Hunters everywhere hid silently, either falling into great despair or preparing themselves for the flames of revenge.
The kingdoms and governments of ordinary humans were caught off guard and went into a state of confusion and chaos that had never been seen before.
…
In a narrow, small town, Fenrir was happily tearing into a buffalo. At this moment, there were two tumors suddenly growing on both sides of its neck.
Affected by them, its appetite grew, and it even occasionally sneezed fire.
However, Fenrir was indifferent about it.
Because it could feel that after experiencing Fang Yuan's Black Magic technique, it was becoming stronger every day.
As for its strange appearance—to demons, they were originally like this, they didn't have any human worries regarding beauty.
Compared to having power, so what if it was strange?
Seeing this scene, Fang Yuan could only silently sigh.
Pitiful small wolf Fenrir, I hope that you won't be shocked by yourself when you grow two additional heads.
”Mixed blood was originally unstable. I suppressed the chaos, insanity, and the other distracting thoughts to its secondary brains in its body. From that point onwards, its main head would be the existence with rational intelligence!”
Fang Yuan was satisfied with his own work.
However, Mary, who was beside her, was badly shocked by this demon.
”Oh my… do we have to live with these monsters in the future?”
She looked at Fenrir, and felt goosebumps all over her. She even secretly swept her gaze over Peter and Almon.
”Mary!”
At this moment, even Aunt Sophia couldn't keep watching. She came over, pulled her daughter's ear, and dragged her into the house. Muffled scolding could be heard.
”Please don't mind her, this is just what Mary's like!”
Uncle Jock came over, rubbing his hands together.
Compared to his wife and daughter, he better understood that the future of the world would turn ugly. In order to carry on living, or even live a good life, one ought to firmly depend on a powerful individual.
Of course, the best option was still to become strong himself.
However, he looked at his own old, wrinkled face and his loose muscles, and he knew that he no longer had that choice.
Thinking to this point, he couldn't help but sigh, ”Is everything true? The strong and glorious Demon Hunter Headquarters has already vanished into thin air? At the location of the downfall of light, the darkness will rebuild a new unified world?”
”Very regrettably… yes!”
Fang Yuan nodded his head.
This time, the Evil Demons changed their state of division; even the initial failure of the battle at Sacred Mountain was a feint.
It was natural that the Demon Hunters would be on the losing end as they were stuck to their old ways, whereas their enemy became like this.
He didn't know why but Urias's figure suddenly appeared in his mind.
Although there was no evidence, he sensed that the changes in the Evil Demons were related to the degenerated Demon Hunter.
After all, only Demon Hunters would know the Demon Hunters' thoughts and weaknesses the best.
”Oh my…”
Jock sighed once, his will and spirit had lowered greatly.
”In fact…”
However, Fang Yuan had a secretive smile then, ”Uncle, do you want to become a Demon Hunter again? No, it's an existence that's one step further. How can the protection strength of others be compared to your own?”
”One step further?”
Jock looked at Fang Yuan, puzzled.
