Demon Hunter and His Cabin
Chapter 260 - Chapter 260 Chapter 260 City of Monsters

Chapter 260: Chapter 260: City of Monsters Chapter 260: Chapter 260: City of Monsters Roger retreated while kicking out, but to his surprise, the attacker didn’t dodge or avoid the blow.

“Bang!”

While the opponent was strong, Roger, after undergoing the Green Grass Trial and being enhanced by the spinal fluid of the demonic bull monster, was definitely a standout in terms of strength among his peers.

“Let us out…”

The attacker opened his mouth wide, uttering indistinct cries.

Although the man looked as if he was in a frenzy, there was clearly still some rationality in his eyes, reminding Roger of the scenes he had witnessed not long ago in the small fishing village.

“Could they also be afflicted with the so-called mysterious disease?”

As Roger hesitated, the monster he had just kicked away was already rushing past him, skimming the wall.

“What are you spacing out for?”

“Did the previous mission injure you?”

The middle-aged man cursed loudly, wielding a two-handed greatsword nearly 15 centimeters wide, swinging it like a door panel.

Crack!

The charging attacker was bisected, blood splattering everywhere; the middle-aged man’s eyes turned blood-red in an instant, his grip tightened, and he charged forward boldly.

One sword swing per attacker.

Where he passed, severed limbs flew, and within just over ten meters, he had killed all the onrushing attackers.

At this moment, seeing the middle-aged man’s terrifying aggression, several figures lagging behind immediately stopped in their tracks, turned, and slipped into the alley behind them, disappearing quickly.

The young man holding a hand ax was about to join in but was stopped, “Don’t chase after them, have you forgotten dead Tom?”

The young man shuddered.

This Tom was also his companion, killed by a pitchfork that suddenly thrust out from an alley during a chase.

The middle-aged man, covered in blood, approached Roger. He was tall and burly, even taller than Roger by half a head.

The previous calmness was nowhere to be seen, his eyes were surging with a cruel gleam, “What’s going on?”

“Did you actually hold back against those monsters?”

The middle-aged man questioned.

Roger didn’t answer, as he was astonished to find that the beastliness in the man’s eyes was even greater than that of the attacker they just faced.

From this alone, he could barely distinguish who was more monster-like.

Just from their physical structures, to ordinary people, were not Demon Hunters monsters as well?

“Sorry, my companion was severely injured in the previous battle while protecting me,” said Henrik, who was standing by.

Hearing this, the resentment on the middle-aged man’s face faded, and the aura around him gradually became calm.

“What happened, I remember the situation in the city wasn’t this grave when we left?” Henrik half-truthfully said.

The middle-aged man wiped the blood off his greatsword.

“The situation is worsening by the day, Mr. President is looking for solutions, but within the city, the proportion of ordinary people is dwindling.”

“If we were to carry out a thorough purge right now, we would have to kill at least one-third of the ordinary people in the city!”

The middle-aged man’s expression was solemn, “What’s worse is that killing these monsters not only fails to alleviate the situation in the city but hastens the mutation of the ordinary people.”

“Haven’t you noticed?”

“There are no more patrol teams in the city.”

“Everyone is just buying time.”

Thinking of the number of ordinary residents he had seen in New Moon City, Henrik couldn’t help but feel his scalp tingle.

If all these people turned into monsters…

“President Abraham didn’t request support from the main guild, did he? If higher-level combat forces are deployed here, it should help ease the current situation,” Henrik said.

“Who knows?”

The middle-aged man sighed.

“This is our only hope now.”

“As for the current New Moon City, it’s only possible to enter, not to leave; we can’t even escape if we wanted to.”

The fiery sun gradually sank towards the horizon, and the sky quickly grew dark as a layer of darkness enveloped the city above.

“Go back and submit the mission, then rest well,”

The restlessness on the middle-aged man vanished, and he had returned to his normal state, “Be ready at all times, for battle could come at any moment.”

Having said his piece, he turned and left.

“Do you know what happened back then?” Roger asked softly.

Henrik nodded.

“I understand a little, because there are no detailed records in the Hunters Guild.”

“All I remember is that many years ago, a major event occurred in New Moon City, and in desperation, the general union dispatched high-end combat power and, although they managed to quell the disaster…”

“After that, the entire area of the Cursed Land also expanded outward quite a bit, and the monsters became even more dangerous.”

He looked up at the darkening sky.

“Although we have no idea how we got here, it’s clear that what’s happening now is probably a repeat of the catastrophe from 30 years ago.”

“Truly a time of numerous disasters.”

“The Katrina hurricane became a catastrophe under the influence of the Saint Heir’s Advent, and the situation here is also on a knife’s edge.”

The streets were desolate, with not a single person visible beneath the dim yellow streetlights, and only faint lights were on in the houses on either side.

The occasional figures that passed by windows were also shrouded in black robes.

The people in this city seemed to have all turned into monsters.

Roger noticed the gazes shooting from the windows, tinged with vigilance and a hint of hatred.

“Where are we going?”

The current New Moon City was not as vast as Bordeaux City, and after a short discussion, the two decided to head to the local station of the Hunters Guild in the city.

After being assigned accommodations and receiving some food, Roger once again tended to Henrik’s wounds.

Roger had Henrik go to bed for rest while he maintained his energy through meditation.

A quiet night passed.

The next morning, as he descended the stairs, an unexpected piece of news caught Roger’s attention.

“Did you hear? Among the Demon Hunters stationed on Narcissus Street, there was a woman who was actually an undercover agent sent by the Three Holy Spirits.”

“Last night she killed several of her companions and then quietly left New Moon City.”

“Choosing to reveal herself at this time, has she gone mad?”

“The entire Cursed Land is sealed off; even if she wanted to leave, where could she possibly go?”

“Exactly.”

“But I heard that before she left, the woman bewitched others, claiming she had found a secret passage to leave this place.”

Upon hearing this, Roger’s heart skipped a beat.

“Could it be that the address recorded in the Soul Transference Book in Ivy’s hands was discovered and noted by that woman back then?”

“But if she had discovered this place, why did she not tell the Three Holy Spirits?”

“Was it because she didn’t want to…”

“Or was it because she unexpectedly died outside?”

Compared with the former, Roger was more inclined to believe the latter, but just when he was about to go with Henrik to check near Narcissus Street, a deafening bell tolled from outside.

Dong dong dong!
