Demon Hunter and His Cabin
Chapter 254 - Chapter 254 Chapter 254 Cave

Chapter 254: Chapter 254 Cave Chapter 254: Chapter 254 Cave Upon hearing Henrik’s words, Roger knew that familiar fellow had come back again.

He nodded lightly and moved swiftly, blending into the darkness and soon arriving near the village.

It was then that the Vampire Monster, observing the entire village from the shadows, leaped down from the tree branches and floated to a wooden door.

Shh!

Its elongated mouthpart shot forward, the once coiled-up flesh now straight as an arrow, followed by the tip piercing through the thin wooden door.

Its chest heaved as it sprayed out a puff of pink gas from its mouthpart.

Rather than killing its prey outright, it preferred to engage in some pre-meal activities, making the food all the more delicious.

A man in slumber staggered to his feet, a look of pleasure creeping over his face. He scratched somewhere on his body a few times before swaying over to the door.

Then, in his stupor, he puckered his lips toward the mouthpart that had pierced through the door.

Excitement flickered in the eyes of the Vampire Monster, its slit-like eyes straining to open wider as if anticipating something.

But just then, a shadow suddenly burst forth from the darkness, the Steel Sword in hand thrusting out like a venomous snake.

The sword strike was fierce yet eerily silent, with not a whisper of wind to be heard.

It wasn’t until the very moment of the attack that the Vampire Monster noticed something was amiss. Its wings trembled, muscles tensed sharply, and it quickly tried to retreat backward.

However, because its mouthpart was stuck in the wooden door, it was a half beat too slow, and as the sword light from the darkness was about to strike…

The wings behind the Vampire Monster flared out fiercely, shielding half of its body like a shield.

Clang!

The weapon striking its wings let out a sound as if metal clashed against metal.

Roger sighed inwardly, aware that his combat ability had improved so quickly that the weapon in his hand was becoming somewhat unsuitable.

Using the collision, the Vampire Monster finally ripped out its mouthpart that was stuck in the door, retreated backward, its wings fluttering as it seemed poised to take off into the sky.

“Trying to run?”

Roger barked lowly, his spiritual power in his mind reversing sharply, and in an instant, the Alder Dharma Seal took shape.

His left hand opened slightly, and a violent current swept through, catching the Vampire Monster completely off guard with such terrifying thrust, losing its balance instantly.

But before it could adjust, a figure had already descended like a raging grizzly from above.

Thwack!

The Steel Sword followed the slightly open mouthpart of the Vampire Monster, burying itself deep within its brain.

The creature barely had time to let out a pitiful shriek before Roger completely punctured it, spewing out yellow-green liquid from its mouth along with a foul odor that assaulted the senses.

Ssst!

With a slicing gesture, Roger split the Vampire Monster’s head in half right through its point of weakness!

It was at this moment that Henrik had just emerged from his hiding spot.

“So soon?”

“Who are you calling quick?”

Roger cracked a rare joke, noticing that Henrik seemed somewhat suppressed because of the Night Demon.

“You said the mouth was its weak point, but this weak point really is disgusting,” Roger couldn’t help but complain.

Henrik opened his mouth to speak, “Actually, what I meant to say was you stabbed the wrong spot.”

Henrik pointed to a different area, “This thing’s anatomy is different from humans; its mouth is located on…”

Roger looked down at the unclear liquid on the Steel Sword, “Why didn’t you say that earlier?”

“I thought you knew…”

“Heh, you did that on purpose, didn’t you?”

After finishing his sentence, Roger casually wiped the liquid from the weapon onto Henrik.

“Ugh!”

…..

Some time later, the two had cleaned up the battlefield, and Roger removed a pair of wings that had shrunk after the Vampire Monster’s death, which should be considered a Transcendent-level trophy.

“What do we do now?”

The mission objective wasn’t the female Night Demon, so Henrik was obviously a bit disappointed.

“It’s already too late, there are abandoned houses in the village, we can just make do here for the night and head back tomorrow morning,”

Roger suggested.

Henrik nodded, tossed the unfortunate man onto a bed in the room, and the two found an empty house nearby. But just then, a faint howling sound came from the distant sky.

This sound was very heavy, and Roger activated Hunter Vision to look into the sky.

In the pitch-black night sky, a vague dark shadow was flapping meaty wings and flying into the distance.

“Another Vampire Monster?”

Under the creature’s legs were two unconscious people.

“There must be a nest nearby!”

Henrik realized the problem, “Vampire Monsters are greedy creatures that mostly act alone, if they gather, it means there is a higher-tier being in the nest.”

“A vampire?” Roger asked.

“Impossible.”

Henrik shook his head.

“Even though they both live off blood, vampires are obviously not of the same species, and even the lowest-tier vampire would be much more advanced than these guys,”

“In a sense, they are more like nobles among monsters, even the weakest among them is comparable to a New Moon tier,”

Henrik pulled out his pistol, “Let’s follow, we’ll go have a look.”

“There must be many missing people in the nearby villages, they bring their prey back presumably to serve higher-tier monsters,”

Henrik glanced at the corpse outside the house, “If it weren’t for this guy being too greedy, we might not have noticed it.”

As they spoke, the two slipped outside of the house, Roger kept an eye on the dark shadow in the night sky, following Henrik at a not-too-close, not-too-far distance.

The wilderness at night was like a realm of ghosts, with strange noises occasionally sounding around them. Thinking it over, Roger handed Henrik several bottles of Night Cat Potion.

This stuff was not of much use to him now, but it could significantly enhance Henrik’s night vision.

After running a great distance, during which they killed two wild beasts that attacked them suddenly, the trees and plants around them thinned out, and strangely shaped rocks began to appear.

The land in front of them seemed as though it was molded from steel, rugged and bizarre.

The few withered trees occasionally seen seemed to be wrapped in iron, twisting as they stretched into the sky.

In this area, no signs of life could be felt.

“We must have left the coverage area of New Moon City,”

Henrik’s expression turned a bit graver, meaning that continuing forward would expose them to dangers multiplying.

At the same time, they spotted Vampire Monsters flying towards them from all directions. Roughly counting, there were four or five of them.

“It seems we’re in for a tough fight!”

Henrik’s dual guns emitted a faint glow, with each bullet specially blessed.

Once the surrounding area was clear of Vampire Monsters, the two scaled a low hill and then made their way down a narrow passage into a cramped cave.

After descending an unknown distance, Roger, who was leading, suddenly stopped. Above his head in the cave hung a Vampire Monster, wrapped into a spherical shape.
