The Demon Hunter

The beginning of everything is like being trapped in a nightmare, irritated, restless, fearful, and depressed. People in it are struggling to wake up, but their eyelids seem to be stuck by something, and the feeling of suffocation in their chests is getting worse—— —If you don’t break free, you will die, a voice in your head said, but there is no answer for what to break free.

Until he couldn't bear it anymore and kicked with all his strength, he thought he would wake up sweating profusely from the nightmare, roll out of bed, or kick the wall and sprain his ankle, but he did kick something, But at that moment, the touch felt like kicking a large piece of caramel jelly.Then he felt himself slipping from where he had been kicked, and suddenly the air entered the lobes of his lungs, and the senses of hearing, smell and touch returned to his body.

He coughed and found himself naked and limp in a place that was definitely not his bedroom.There was a high, dark ceiling, with huge white eggs standing between the pillars, so he knew where he had come from.Behind him was an egg with a hole in it, from which a viscous silver liquid was slowly flowing out.

"Great, there is one survivor!" A middle-aged woman in a white robe ran over.

He could understand her language, but...he was pretty sure he hadn't studied it, or even heard it, which was full of weird sounds.He looked at the woman in the white robe, and behind her, several men in armor ran in, wrapped him in a rag, and carried him away.

Regarding that place, the last thing he saw was a tower that collapsed in the cloud of smoke and dust...

That is not an ordinary tower, but a mage tower, the residence of a powerful mage and his apprentices, and they are also the builders of Cologne's body - not father or mother, not birth, just "manufacturing".Because it is a version of Professor Frankenstein in the wizarding world, who uses the power of magic to fuse dead or living creatures to create a group of creatures that obey his orders.

Originally, this was nothing, probably because there are many races on the mainland, so the intelligent races here are very receptive, and artificial life is nothing new to them.At least Cologne and the others still have body temperature and human form, not metal monsters like gargoyles and golems.

But what this "Mage Frankenstein" and his apprentices created were not mere creations, but workers, farmers and...soldiers who completely obeyed their orders. He didn't want to live peacefully in his own tower , what he thinks is to exterminate all those natural races, leaving only his own creations on the earth.

So according to the general situation, the mage who intended to rule the world was wiped out by the righteous party.

However, thanks to the broad-mindedness and acceptance of all races in the wizarding world, as well as the middle-aged woman—Honorable Pastor Mary, the head of the local temple—she did not take all the creations Instead, after trying their best to treat them, they were brought back to the church.

After leaving that place, for the first few days, he always thought that he was dreaming—even in this dream, he would be hungry, thirsty, and go to the bathroom—but he still thought so. People who don't have much desire and whose life is dull to boring will encounter that legendary situation.

However, seven days later, the original name... Anyway, it doesn't matter anymore, so it can be ignored. The person whose current name is Ke Luoyin can only helplessly accept the reality, and prepare to welcome his new and terrible life.

It's a magical world, that's obvious.Moreover, this is a world war that has just ended in the magic world, and the earth has not been recovering from the pain of almost destruction. This is the only thing that Colo is grateful for not coming to this world during the war Otherwise, he would definitely be the first unlucky egg to be stewed into a pot of offal.

However, the end of a large-scale war does not mean the arrival of peace. In the war, many demons and undead were left behind for various reasons, and did not return to their world in the end-even if these evil spirits have been treated for ten years The suppression of terrorists has continued, but they have never diminished, and sometimes there is even an illusion that they are increasing.

Therefore, some people, voluntarily or forced, started to destroy them for a living out of hatred, money, honor, or survival. These people were called demon hunters.

And Cologne, just seven days after coming to this world, was forced to become a member of the demon hunters in order to survive.As for why he has such a job, simply put, it is because the bright red blood in his veins has the attributes of a demon.

But when they recovered in the church, they arranged for new places to go, and most of those places were willing to accept them, because the creations were designed according to the structure of a honeycomb, and even more detailed, and they were all good at their work.

The peasants went to the countryside, the masons followed the foremen, and the cooks stayed in the church cafeteria. It all sounded good. Originally, the soldiers were also the objects of competition between the little lords and the mercenary teams, until the pastor of the church found out when he inspected them The blood of the demons fused in the blood of the soldiers.

Fortunately, the warriors only possessed some of the characteristics of demons, so they were treated like those human-devil hybrids—a silver seal was added to their chests, and at least twenty evil creatures had to be hunted every year, otherwise the seal would kill their hearts. Grilled into a cooked piece of meat.

Given that these two races are mortal enemies, this approach can even be considered benevolent. If Cologne was not a member of the Warriors, he would definitely think so...

"Are you sure, are you right, Pastor Mary?" Cologne said, his voice was clean and soft, just like his appearance, with soft blond hair, blue eyes with the clearness of a teenager, soft cheeks, and bridge of nose With a few lovely freckles, this is undoubtedly a beautiful teenager, maybe 16 years old, or 15 years old, very young anyway.

What the appearance showed, of course, was not Cologne's exact age.His physical age should be seven days, but his mental age is 26 years old.This face was childish, and even made him feel a bit bitch, but if it could save Cologne from carrying a clumsy weapon and fighting a group of legendary monsters, then he would rather it be a bit bitch.

Mary looked at him and sighed: "I'm sorry, my child." She gently stroked Cologne's hair, "This is a custom, we cannot violate it, but I will do my best to take care of you. "

She promised something, but it was no different from no guarantee.Mary was kind, but still clearly determined, and she gestured to Cologne to step forward, where the other priests were preparing to stamp him like a cow.

Cologne could only walk to the altar, and what was enshrined was not a "human", or a human-like image, but a piece of golden prismatic crystal.Just like the patterns on the chests of priests' robes, ordinary priests are just patterns on the cloth, while "high-rises" like Pastor Mary have the same golden crystal, only a size smaller than the enshrined one.

Cologne stood there helplessly, in a drawn circular magic circle or something, five priests stood around him, like the five corners of a pentagram, and Pastor Mary was facing He: "Don't be afraid, child." Pastor Mary, who smiled like an ordinary kind woman, said softly.

Cologne resisted the urge to turn around and run away and roll his eyes - running away is useless, it will only make his situation worse, and impolite behavior may destroy the harmless image of his young face in Pastor Mary's heart - The priests started chanting incantations, or rather singing, but Cologne couldn't understand a single word in the incantation, in fact they were more like singers doing weird pronunciation exercises.

"Ah", "La" and other seemingly meaningless pronunciations of different lengths and pitches constituted all of this, and then, after a high note, Pastor Mary's hand was pressed on Coloin's heart.

His body couldn't help being stiff, but it wasn't because of pain, even when a warm current gently brushed over his heart, it felt almost comfortable.

"Okay." Pastor Mary smiled and put down her hands.

"Okay?" In Cologne's imagination, even if it wasn't as tragic as the red-hot iron stamped on the flesh, at least there would be some discomfort, but...

"That's just a means of restriction, not punishment." Pastor Mary said with a smile, "Okay, I'll take you to meet your partner."

"you?"

A partner, Cologne, knows that they even have a "nanny". Judging from these two points, the church did not let them go to death, otherwise the creatures who don't understand the world probably don't have a year of hunting dogs. The share is already dead.After being poked, Cologne's previous companions were all taken out by the little priests to receive weapons and basic items, "match up", and meet their nanny.

To Ke Luoyin's surprise, this pastor Mary actually wanted to take him to do these things in person. Is this just chores for them?It seems that his face really gave him a lot of points.Thanks to that otherworldly Frankenstein for being more skilled than his Earth counterparts and giving him a face that could be called pretty, rather than a monster that just wants to make people scream.

While thinking, Pastor Mary brought Cologne to a reception room of the church here, and they saw several teams leaving on the way.

Those Cologne's "families" are easy to recognize, because they are like twin brothers, handsome with brown hair and blue eyes, but they are exactly the same, and they are all perfect.In fact, except for Coloin, who was a premature baby who crawled out of the egg by himself, most of the others were injured and fainted on the battlefield and were captured.

Ke Luoyin was wondering if he would grow up, and if he could grow up, he would have the same face as them.After all, he also has blue eyes. Although his hair is golden now, who knows if it will become darker?

"This is your teammate, Lance. And your guardian for the next year, the best bounty hunter Ansel."
