The Divine Hunter

Chapter 42 Too late to say goodbye

Under the flickering firelight, a man with anti-magic shackles on his hands and feet was giving a "speech" with his head held high and his voice extremely loud.

As if to vent all the energy left in my life!

"Aisha's current state is called a soul-bound corpse... In fact, she is already dead, but her soul is trapped in a body full of secret inscriptions. And it's a tortured soul full of resentment."

"Bastard! What did you do to her?!"

"Calm down man," Roy grabbed the furious Todd, "listen to him first, save Elsa is the most important thing!"

Todd then panted heavily and controlled the urge. But still glared at him.

"During the day, the soul sleeps in the container, and after the sun sets, the soul wakes up, struggles in the 'cage', and vents its resentment." Matteo seemed to fall into some kind of fanatical mood, his eyes focused on the quiet Beautiful girl, "She will instinctively use her own magic power to resurrect the dead within a certain range of her body, drive them, hunt the living, absorb life and soul, and feed herself back...and thrive."

Roy pondered, this kind of resurrection was nothing more than an appearance, awakening a bunch of walking corpses-they had no soul at all, as evidenced by the extremely thin previous experience.

"Until the soul-bound corpse absorbs enough 'nutrition' and matures, it will break out of its shell and become a powerful demon full of sadness and resentment," Matteo squinted, as if staring at some magnificent art With a look of admiration on his face, "Have a power that is not inferior to that of the Banshee!"

"Unfortunately, her current growth progress is less than one-tenth..."

Several witchers exchanged glances, all of which felt like they were looking at a lunatic.

"So, did you deliberately let the corpse collector take her away? Where did you learn this vicious ritual?" the bald man asked, "I've never seen a soul-binding corpse, and an artificial demon spirit is even more unheard of. "

"The witchers other than the Griffin faction are not much better than ordinary people. They are almost equivalent to magic insulators. It is normal to not understand the mystery of magic experiments!"

A look of pride flashed on Matteo's face, and he was calm when he was about to die, "As for this ceremony, there is no doubt that it is a peerless treasure, and it is the hard work of Mr. Steingard and I."

"It took us more than ten years to unearth it from the great tomb of the Wozger people and the rubbings of the giant stele of the Dook people..."

"The madman Etibard is not lying! Girls born during the dark days are less than ordinary girls.

There is something very special. "

"My previous experiments have proved that the body structure of the cursed girl is different from ordinary people!"

"Some sort of red spongy mass in the skull and spine, the internal organs were all misplaced, some were missing altogether. All organs were covered with moving cilia, and pink and blue flesh."

Roy's heart skipped a beat.

When they dissected Elsa, they didn't find these anomalies. Was it restored by Matteo, or was this guy just making it up?

Matteo said plausibly, "Ordinary girls can't make a soul-bound corpse at all! Nor can they react to chaotic energy!"

"Only the daughters of the Black Sun, they are special!"

"But God can't do it for me. For so many years, I have only found a daughter of the Black Sun who meets the requirements... Others are either captured by others, or die young, or live in seclusion in the remote countryside where they cannot be searched."

"And just from the surface, it is impossible to tell the difference between the girl of the black sun and the ordinary girl!"

"Everything makes the progress of the ceremony extremely slow!"

...

"What a beast!" Oakes spit at him.

"Magic madman! Create a powerful demon spirit through rituals, wreak havoc in Nuocheng, and destroy your own territory. What benefits can you get?" Lesuo asked, puzzled.

"A rude witcher can never appreciate fine art..." Matteo said proudly. "How about hundreds of people die for a perfect collection?"

"This group of mortals, rather than living a mediocre life like cattle in Nuocheng, might as well devote themselves to the great art of magic!"

"You're not a god?" Serret raised his eyebrows, "Why decide the life and death of mortals?"

"No, no, no..." Roy shook his head, "Even a god shouldn't take anyone's life without consent!"

"Okay, guys, it's useless to talk too much." The bald man turned to the warlock, "How do we treat Elsa?"

Todd also looked over nervously.

"Don't you understand? The spell can be lifted, but the dead can't be resurrected." Matteo rolled his eyes on several people, especially the father who stayed the longest, and smiled meanly, "I will tell you the method, let The little girl's soul is freed from the 'prison', and then, at most, stays in the present world for a moment or three to bid farewell to this 'good father'... and head to nothingness."

"Bastard! You have to save her!" Todd rushed over frantically, grabbing the Warlock's shoulders like iron pincers, "There must be a way, tell me quickly!"

"I said, I can't do anything... Of course you can't either!" Matteo suddenly seduced, "But if she develops to the end, she can be resurrected in another way."

"When you become a banshee, you can still retain a little bit of consciousness before you were alive."

Todd looked startled.

"Shut up! You bastard!" interrupted the Demon Hunter who had been watching the cat faction. "Todd, don't listen to his nonsense. Becoming a demon means suffering and sinking forever."

"Death, on the contrary, is a relief."

"Relieved?" Todd suddenly lowered his face, came to Elsa, and watched her face quietly.

Heart like a knife.

Obviously caught the initiator, why only get this result?

Can't save Elsa, his series of actions seems like a ridiculous farce.

Meaningless.

Several Snake factions remained silent upon seeing this. They were not gods, and it was impossible to break the boundary between life and death.

"Have you thought about it, buddy..." Kaian's scarlet eyes stared at the warlock without blinking, and he couldn't wait to fight back, "Would you like to break the curse?"

In the laboratory, only heavy breathing could be heard for a while.

For a long time, Todd closed his eyes and took a deep breath. More than two months later, Elsa was trapped in this body, her soul was tortured, and it must be very uncomfortable.

She must be freed anyway.

"Martio, tell me, how to break the spell?!"

"It's very simple...Take out her heart, smear it with silver powder, throw it into the flames and burn it...the spell will dissolve on its own." The warlock replied decisively. "Her soul can be purified and freed from the body."

"Can I see her and say goodbye to her then?"

Todd asked.

It is obvious common sense that ordinary people cannot see the soul with the naked eye.

The warlock pursed his lips hesitantly, until he was warned by Kaiyan's gloomy eyes, and he shuddered.

"You are her dearest loved one. You can tie her soul by giving a part of your blood and engraving a magic circle around the corpse. I will teach you how to do it."

"The soul will stay in the magic circle for about five minutes. In this state, the mortal body can communicate with her smoothly, and even make physical contact."

"But only five minutes."

"You should know the consequences of lying," Kayahn said.

The warlock's face was blue and white, and his body trembled uncontrollably, "Cat Sect witcher, remember your promise, no matter how you torture me, within a day, you must let me rest in peace."

Matteo has personally prepared countless "experimental specimens", heard countless mourning sounds, and seen countless people collapse.

He knew that pain in his bones.

Compared with the long-term torture of life rather than death... he would rather leave quickly!

Next, the five witchers followed Todd to the other side of the laboratory.

Prepare for the ceremony.

And Roy was one step behind and moved to Matteo's side.

"Let's talk about it, I'm very curious, how did you summon the evil spirits from other worlds to possess Kaiyan?"

A cat evil spirit with 300 experience points, he has no reason to let it go.

"Witcher, why are you interested in this forbidden spell?" Matteo's eyes narrowed. The last time he looked at the youngest witcher, he seemed to have thought of something.

"Tell you the answer...then help me persuade that ugly bastard and give me a treat?"

"Sorry, can't..."

"Haha, it doesn't matter if you don't want to," Matteo's bruised cheeks squeezed out a weird smile, and the shackles of his limbs shook cheerfully, "You are interested in magic experiments, and you took that statue away too, right? ?"

"I'm glad there's a fellow among the witchers."

"Listen, summoning spells... materials to describe the magic circle... gestures..."

...

Under the walls where stone carvings were once placed.

surrounded by several people.

The girl lay peacefully in a circle drawn by blood.

The burning brazier beside me, black smoke is coming out, and something is burning...

After about a quarter of an hour...the black smoke disappeared.

A translucent figure jumped up from the body on the ground.

The whole body was covered with a faint blue light.

Reminds me of ghosts.

He held his hands in front of his chest, closed his eyes and suspended half a meter above the magic circle.

Her facial features are exquisite and lovely, and her petite body is exquisitely carved like crystal.

Dressed in a pale teal dress with floral ruffles and pale yellow leather shoes.

The whole body exudes the breath of simplicity and beauty, like an elves walking in the world.

Several pairs of beast-like pupils invariably restrained their anger and became gentle and peaceful.

As if the worry was too intense, it burned her light body.

Aisha opened her eyes, and her gray eyes flashed blankly at first.

Then he turned to the people around him. The faint moth brows are wrinkled into a ball, and the little face shows panic and anxiety!

"I, where am I?" Her voice was as crisp and sweet as a lark, but it quickly became high-pitched and sharp,

"Who are you? Don't come here!"

"Uuuu...don't touch me, let's go!"

She seemed to recall her previous painful experience.

Slim and transparent fingers wipe the empty tears on your cheeks!

A strong blue light appeared on his body, and a large area of ​​skin revealed rotting corpse spots.

and spread rapidly.

This is, to become a demon?

The witchers quietly took hold of the hilt.

"Aisha...don't be afraid..." The mercenary who had been away from home for more than ten years suddenly stepped forward and approached the petite girl in the air.

He raised his head, crystal tears appeared in the corners of his eyes, his low voice became extremely gentle, and every piece of fat on his face and every wrinkle on his forehead was full of kindness and kindness.

"Todd's back, Dad's here."

"Todd?"

The spreading blue light suddenly stopped.

The girl's gray eyes were round and round, she was startled for a moment, then her expression changed significantly, and she looked at the strong, bear-like middle-aged man with timidity and curiosity.

The corpse spots on his face quickly disappeared like the ebb tide.

Looking at this strange man, Elsa felt a strange intimacy that she had not seen for a long time.

blood vessels connected.

A deep connection.

This intuition is strongest in the soul state.

No one has made her feel this way since Mommy Colleen, Grandma Olena, and Grandpa Frank passed away.

"Are you Todd? I...my father?"

The girl suddenly opened her mouth, her tone full of disbelief.

All impressions about him come from the oral accounts of dead relatives.

She had never seen this father since she could remember.

He looked nervous and hopeful.

Mei Mu looked up and down in surprise and asked him several questions in a row.

About family.

About own date of birth, vision.

Todd responded fluently.

"Aisha, I'm sorry, Dad hasn't come home, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for Colleen, Olena, Frank..." Todd blushed, murmured, and trembled, tears of shame pouring out of his eyes.

He abandoned his wife and children, and ran away from home for fifteen years for his selfish dreams.

His heart was like stone, and he hadn't gone home to see his relatives for so long.

His family died one after another, and his daughter was captured by a demon-like warlock.

He is to blame for all of this! He has a huge responsibility!

Todd was mentally prepared to be scolded by his daughter and even cast aside by her, hated as an enemy!

However--

"Uuuu...you're finally back!"

The girl floating in the air covered her small mouth and choked out.

Ruyan rushed up like a forest.

The father and daughter hugged tightly.

Todd stroked his thin cheek, as if in a dream.

He hugged the thin body in his arms that seemed to disappear at any time, as if he was hugging the whole world.

In the past ten years, there has never been a moment when my heart was so happy and content as it is now.

Happy to be dizzy.

The girl wiped away the transparent tears from the corners of her eyes, "Woooo...why are you back so late? Colleen and the others didn't see you."

"Sorry, I'm a complete asshole!"

Aisha's next words made him collapse directly.

"Don't say that! You're not a bastard!" Aisha looked at her tearful father, her delicate little face full of admiration and love.

"Colleen tells me every day that you are a hero, the best husband in the world, the best father, risking your life to earn money outside in order to support the family, in order for us to live decently!"

Silly child, you believe this lie, it's been more than ten years?

"Grandma and grandpa both think you are the best son... I have always missed you, and read your good wishes in front of me every day..."

The man froze in place as if he had lost his soul.

how come?

Obviously, he has been away from home quietly for fifteen years, leaving his family behind and never asking.

During this period, the responsibilities and obligations of husbands, fathers and sons have not been fulfilled at all!

Colleen, Olena, and his father, Frank, who had been floating at sea and never came home—

"You guys, don't you ever hate me at all?"

Todd hugged his daughter in his arms and closed his eyes tightly, the hot breath coming out of his throat as if it would burn his neck and cheeks.

Why don't you blame me, why doesn't Elsa scold me? !

"Mom sews a piece of clothing for you every year. Grandma made several pairs of leather boots. I knitted a pair of gloves for you and put them at home, on the bottom layer of the big closet. Try them on when you come back." Mouth opened and closed, talking like a sparrow.

"Grandpa Frank kept a can of dwarven spirits hidden under the kitchen floor. I was going to wait for you to get home and enjoy it around the table... Grandpa also quit drinking for ten years..."

"Wait and wait... wait and wait..."

"But they still can't wait for you."

Raging hot tears flooded the man's cheeks mercilessly.

In the end, what have I failed?

...

However, the time has come.

Todd didn't even have time to say goodbye.

The charming and lovely daughter in her arms turned into beautiful and dreamy fragments in an instant.

disappeared before his eyes.

untouchable.

"Woooo... Aisha? Aisha?!"

"I'm sorry! I don't deserve to be your relative!"

The 1.9 meter man hugged the air and knelt to the ground like a sad wild boar.

howling.

Cries and sighs echoed in the dark laboratory for a long time.
