Chapter 306 (1/2)

Hao Ren still remembered the first time he saw Hesperides. Based on his impression, she was a slightly gloomy, mature sister with a steady temperament. But now, seeing her again gave him a fright. Hesperides looked as frightening as a hungry ghost who crawled out from hell. She had a visible, murderous aura around her body; her eyes were red and her voice was hoarse. The giant mace in her hand was covered in blood, which kept dripping to the ground. Vivian covered her eyes and whispered, “The second personality…”

“Have you seen the one-eyed man?” Hesperides looked as if she had gone mad but in fact, she had no problems indentifying the things around her. She stared at Hao Ren and Vivian, then said in a hoarse voice, “Leave him to me, leave him with me…”

“You’ve been fighting for too long. You should go back and rest.” Vivian tried to calm her down but, after getting a vicious look from Hesperides, she shook her head helplessly and said, “The demon hunters didn’t come this way. Those bastards, the shadelings are in cahoots with them. We’re going to kill Bethanos now—do you want to come?”

“No, I’m going to look for the one-eyed man, I’m going to kill him.” A reddish halo gradually rose from Hesperides’ “battle stick”. Under the shroud of the halo, its surroundings gradually became scorching hot, twisting in the heat. “I can feel it… I can feel him here in this city. It’s right this time, it’s absolutely right this time. My wound is burning like fire… Ah, the arrow in the wound must have felt the call of its master! It will take me to its bastard owner…”

Hesperides kept talking on and on like a lunatic while a silver glow seeped out the gorgeous jewelry on her forehead. At first, Vivian looked sympathetically at her delirious friend, but when she heard those last few words, her facial expression suddenly changed and she asked, “Wait a minute, you sense it this time?”

“Absolutely.” Hesperides covered her forehead and laughed hoarsely. “He’s alive, he’s here, and he’s going to die today!”

After saying this, Hesperides did not give Vivian the opportunity to continue asking her any questions. She turned into a sunset orange glow and dispersed into the air. Hao Ren found it strange and asked, “What’s going on? Who’s the one-eyed man?”

“The one-eyed man is the demon hunters’ ‘elder’,” Vivian said as she turned and went towards the castle of shadelings. “We don’t know what his real name is, we just know that he’s blind on one side and he’s the one who left the cut on Hesperides’ head. I never thought that he would still be alive… For a demon hunter to live until now, he is definitely at least an elder or maybe even a saint…”

After Hao Ren heard this, he immediately asked, “In that case, does Hesperides need our help?”

“There are other elders in this town who will help her. Besides, we have more important things to do,” Vivian said without turning her head, “and our top priority now is to catch Bethanos. I got a feeling… he’s going to run away soon, and he’s going to run far. If we don’t catch him this time, it’ll cause endless problems in the future.”

Hao Ren nodded and stopped talking. However, Vivian could not help but mutter, “I never expected an elder of such level to be leading the demon hunters in purifying this city. What the hell is in this city, that it got them to do this?”

Vivian was still rushing towards the shadelings’ castle, but inside, she was getting more and more puzzled. It was already so shocking that demon hunters and unusual creatures were ganging up. Then, to find out that the demon hunters’ commander was one of the elders involved in the events of Olympus! It would still be understandable if it was a new generation demon hunter ganging up with the shadelings. But, a veteran demon hunter cooperated with Bethanos?

What the hell was in the city, that it got them to do this?

Vivian frowned. Although she had long neglected things related to unusual creatures, she still thought of a possibility. At the same time, the walkie-talkie on Hessiana’s chest sounded again. They received a message from Hessiana’s family base. “Mistress! A large number of demon hunters are storming into our side! The enemies in the neighborhood seem to have gathered together!”

“Storming our home?” Hessiana paused for a second and asked, “Did you fire too much and become too much of a threat to them?”
