Demon Hunter and His Cabin
Chapter 418 - Chapter 418 Chapter 418 Hostage

Chapter 418: Chapter 418 Hostage Chapter 418: Chapter 418 Hostage “Four against two, the real fight’s coming!”

Gareth clenched the battle axe in his hand.

“The intel was wrong, let’s get out of here first!” Tristan loudly suggested.

From the last battle, Tristan knew that as long as he wasn’t killed on the spot, he could always recover through the Inheritance Ceremony.

But now.

He couldn’t afford to be injured.

“Where can we run to?”

“We are the last line of defense. The combat power of these two beasts is enough to tear through the forest’s outer barrier, and then they’ll directly enter the town.”

Gaheris frowned deeply.

“We have no way out!”

He raised his left hand, and a blue light rose into the air, then exploded violently.

“Let’s fight to the last, even if it means we suffer mutual destruction. As long as someone finds our Inheritance Core, we will still have a chance to make a comeback.”

“It’s meaningless,” Tristan clearly didn’t want to continue fighting. “Even if we kill them, it won’t be long before they revive in the forest.”

Roger couldn’t help but sigh. Sure enough, seeking advantage and avoiding harm are the instincts of all creatures. So-called knightly spirit is just a deception, some people only reveal their true nature when facing deadly danger.

This in itself was not blameworthy, but Tristan’s inaction was still troubling to Roger.

If it weren’t for his ace in the hole, the Quinn Dharma Seal, he might have already been severely injured in this back-and-forth conflict.

“There’s no next time!”

Gaheris shook his head, “Next time I will ask Mr. Green or Lancelot, Gawain to take action directly.”

“This is not a simple Transcendent event. Even Ancient Breeds have appeared, who knows what else is hidden in the forest.”

No sooner had he spoken than Gaheris launched an attack. Facing an assault from the injured Deerhead Spirit, he lifted his left arm, aureate with a blue light, to defend against the attack. Then his right hand thrust forward his spear like a venomous snake.

“Focus on killing this one first!”

Gareth yelled loudly.

But just then, the Ancient Breed suddenly raised its hands, and strange runes flashed between its black horns.

Black vines burst from the ground, twining around the injured Deerhead Spirit’s feet. An unknown substance was injected into its body, and immediately the creature’s wounds began to heal at a visibly rapid pace!

Gareth’s expression changed slightly.

“Quick, break it!”

Before he could even speak, Roger had already charged forward with his sword raised.

He wasn’t even there yet when the flames from the Sword of the Sun already started to sweep out. Meanwhile, monstrous roars began to rise from afar one after another; summoned by the two Deerhead Spirits, the beasts lurking in the forest were now gathering here.

With no choice left, Tristan gritted his teeth and rushed forward.

Though his strength was compromised, he was still a genuine Third Tier, and wouldn’t have a problem in a short battle.

At this moment, the Gareth brothers also unleashed their full combat power. While Roger was entangled with the Ancient Breed, they adopted a crazed fighting style.

Taking advantage of the Deerhead Spirit’s injuries, they pushed it into a near-death state in one fell swoop!

Seeing its partner injured and Roger entangled, the Ancient Breed went mad, trying to break free to offer help.

Of course, Roger wouldn’t give it the chance. After recovering with the help of the Quinn Dharma Seal, he took several hits from the opponent before barely managing to hold the Ancient Breed back.

And behind him, the battle had also reached its conclusion.

Gareth’s armor shattered, and Gaheris’s left armguard became dull and lusterless, but at this moment, he was standing on the shoulder of the Deerhead Spirit. His blue lance pierced through its eye socket, then ground its entire head to pieces!

The enormous body of the Deerhead Spirit thudded to the ground, but then, incredibly, its vast form dissipated like bubbles, with specks of light twinkling and then vanishing from the corpse.

Just then, the Array previously set up by Yebeni took effect, causing the specks of light that had disappeared into the air to reappear under the influence of the Array.

“There lies the hiding spot for its Hostage!”

“There’s no chance left; we can only kill one to reduce their fighting power.”

Gaheris shook his head, knowing that to divide their forces now would be no different from seeking death.

“There’s one left!”

He had given up hope of completely resolving the crisis; as long as he could heavily damage it and buy them some breathing time, they could gather other forces to exterminate it in one fell swoop!

“This opportunity is too rare!”

“Who knows if we’ll face three next time we come here!” Tristan exclaimed loudly.

“My combat power is compromised now; I can’t be of much help in a head-on fight, but maybe I can try to deal with that Deerhead Spirit’s Hostage!”

“If I’m fast enough, without its Hostage, this monster might never have the chance to revive!”

The Gareth brothers exchanged glances, each seeing the emotion in the other’s eyes, “Maybe we really could try?”

“If we’re lucky enough, the Hostages of these two monsters could be together…”

“Go ahead, the three of us will try to kill this monster, but if the cost is too high, we’ll leave immediately!”

With the addition of Gaheris and his comrade to the fight, the pressure on Roger lessened immediately.

This Ancient Breed was much more formidable than the average Deerhead Spirit; its body was robust and pitch-black, with high resistance to fire.

“Don’t worry, last time this monster left me on the brink of death; it’s time to get revenge for that!”

Tristan grabbed his weapon and quickly left.

Gareth’s armor had been damaged in the recent battle, and Gaheris’s armguard had dimmed; they seemed not to have sustained much injury, but they had paid a significant price to kill the Deerhead Spirit in the shortest time possible.

In the ensuing battle, Roger actually became the main force.

Even as other monsters occasionally came to interfere, the three of them cooperating tacitly managed to gradually suppress the Ancient Breed.

The victory widened. Maintaining this steady and firm approach, they were likely to kill the monster without taking much damage.

Meanwhile, Tristan raced through the forest, following the directions across the hills and woods, soon arriving at a village.

This was the same village where Roger had first executed a mission with Goway and discovered the Sword in the Stone.

The village was noisy, with the distant sounds of battle and screams; Tristan moved forward and quickly reached the village’s depths.

There he saw a familiar figure.

Yebeni.

Yebeni stood amidst the forest as if on a leisurely stroll, his fingers dancing as if he were playing a beautiful melody.

But with each wave of his hand, several Vine with barbs entangled a Dryad, then pierced into their bodies amidst the Dryads’ despairing screams.

Before long, the Dryads around him had been slaughtered.

Tristan’s pupils shrank, “You’re not a Druid who preaches natural harmony; you believe in the survival of the fittest.”

“It’s the law of the jungle, filled with killing and blood!”

Yebeni smiled nonchalantly.

“Are you condemning me?”

“Or do you plan to join me in finding the Hostage of that Deerhead Spirit?”
