Chapter 60 (2/2)

Although Letta runes could be used by common people, it was still a demanding task. One would need enormous spiritual strength to ward off the effects of using the runes. Who is this Nangong actually?

“Keep your heads down! They will attack anything that moves.” Nangong took a glance at Hao Ren’s position and said, “Leave them to me. Fret not, I’m a bona fide exorcist. Evil, begone!”

As Nangong yelled the incantation, the charm lit up on its own. Nangong however seemed to be holding the charm the other way around. He was holding on to the part that lit up.

“Ouch! Hot, hot, hot!” Nangong jumped as his fingers were scorched by the flames. The charm fell limply on the ground and the flames died. He quickly picked it up and blew the dust off. He then shouted, “Evil, begone! Evil, begone! Evil… oh the fire charm has already burnt out…”

Hao Ren had wanted to see the demon hunter go all out against the wraiths but to his disappointment, he only saw Nangong rummaging through his pockets for a lighter. He lit the charm up again and threw the charm towards the wraiths. “This will work!”

A blinding, red light followed the explosion and then… nothing.

Vivian simply could not take it anymore and went, “Uh… Mr. Demon Hunter, are you forgetting something else?”

Nangong looked up and saw the armored wraiths that fell earlier had come back into being. It seemed that the silver powder and bolts only stunned the tin cans for a moment.

Hao Ren wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead. The demon hunter came in guns (crossbow) blazing, displaying his magical and martial prowess but in the end, it was his explosive entrance that seemed to have some significance.

“How could this be?” Nangong said as he leapt backwards. “This shouldn’t have happened. This stuff should have been effective… No worries, I still have my trump card!”

Nangong quickly pulled out an assortment of gadgets and with trained hands, quickly assembled them into an arbalest. The tip of the arbalest gleamed a beautiful silver under the moonlight. Hao Ren finally stopped twitching his eyes as Nangong seemed to have gotten his sh*t together.

“Hmph! This is not child’s play!” Nangong said as he took aim. “Feel the wrath of a demon hunter’s silver explo… f*ck me, I forgot my bolts!”

Vivian could only facepalm at that sight. “Doggie, get ready. That man is a hopeless.”

“Wait!” Hao Ren restrained the two as they were about to morph. He glanced at Nangong, who was fiddling with his gadgets. He felt that the man was nothing but trouble. Even as a half-boiled demon hunter, he was still trouble.

Hao Ren wanted to get rid of the trouble. At the very least, to ease his worries of a real demon hunter coming up behind them.

He quickly looked around for something solid but, the rocks on the ground were either too fine or too big. As his hand swept pass his pocket, he felt something solid and smiled menacingly.

Hao Ren quietly made his way towards Nangong with the solid object in hand. He swung it as hard as he could to the back of Nangong’s head.

At the same time, a screech echoed in his head. “You definitely haven’t read the user manual! There is definitely something wrong with your way of doing things!”
