Demon Hunter and His Cabin
Chapter 759 - Chapter 759 Chapter 612 Where Should I Sleep

Chapter 759: Chapter 612 Where Should I Sleep? Chapter 759: Chapter 612 Where Should I Sleep? In the garden in front of the Shadow Cottage, the Elder of Shadows’s body was connected to the ground below. Roger furrowed his brow as a large hole was carved into the chest of the Elder of Shadows, gashed open head-on.

Not a drop of blood was in his muscles, which shone with a sickly pallor; Roger could even see the cracks on the sternum.

During the battle with Kurokawa’s master before, the Elder of Shadows had sustained some injuries as well, but those wounds quickly healed after he returned to the Shadow World.

However, even now, as he remained connected to the soil and power continuously flowed into the Elder of Shadows’s body, there was no sign of recovery from the chest wound.

In fact, even in his wounded state, it didn’t affect the Elder of Shadows’s combat strength, but this abnormal behavior inevitably made Roger speculate a lot.

“Is it because the injuries are too severe, or is it because the power of Sword Master Cold Crow is too special?”

The power within him had completely subsided, and now Roger had returned to his previous Eighth Tail state. With his current strength, there was no way for him to kill the Yatagarasu Akiryu.

As for the bonus from the Hunter’s Cabin, that couldn’t be considered a regular method. Plus, the ability to kill is obviously flawed when it comes to one-on-one situations.

He desperately needed to enhance his own strength. Even if he couldn’t reach the level of a Sword Master, he should at least elevate his Guardian Spirit to the level of Nine Tails.

That way, combined with other amplification methods, he should be able to defeat the Yatagarasu Akiryu.

The succession of changes disrupted Roger’s earlier plans.

He had originally planned to slowly increase his strength under the guidance of Sword Master Cold Crow and then enter the level of a Sword Master.

Unfortunately, the sudden betrayal by Yatagarasu Kensumi and the attack by the Meiryu left Roger with no way to return to Hankawa in peace.

Even if he could let go of the grudges in his heart, even if Sword Master Cold Crow still maintained his approval of him, the enmity between him and Yatagarasu Akiryu had already been established.

It was nearly a situation of life or death.

In such circumstances, the choices of a father, Sword Master Cold Crow, were self-evident.

Furthermore, the Sword Pavilion had already collected all the necessary materials. Michihiro Morita must have already begun the final stages of the Spirit Sword Project.

Once successful, Sword Master Cold Crow at that time…

Feeling slightly somber, Roger knew that in order to kill the Yatagarasu Akiryu, he must possess an overwhelming advantage.

Only then could he avoid facing a fully-fledged Sword Master Cold Crow after killing the Yatagarasu Akiryu.

The power of Shadow’s Touch was indeed potent, but it was far from being invincible. With the current disparity in strength between them, Roger would likely not even have the opportunity to activate Shadow’s Touch when facing Sword Master Cold Crow.

“Nine Tails, then mastering Solutions Technique, and if I could go even further…”

As of late, with the rise in numbers of Demon Hunter Apprentices and the overall increase in strength, Roger’s insight into swordsmanship had also deepened much more than before.

He could use the power of Spiritual Light Residence more frequently.

After waiting for a good while and seeing that the Elder of Shadows’s wounds still hadn’t healed, Roger could only bury him underground. With a thought, he left the Shadow World.

After Roger left, at the end of the garden path, Uma’s figure quietly emerged. She gazed in the direction where Roger had departed, deep in thought.

Kaer Morhen.

Arriving at the mountaintop castle, Roger felt lighter. It was evening, and the setting sun cast a golden hue over the castle, adding some brightness to the gorge at the mountain’s base.

Even the distant Mist Forest seemed less dense in the fading sunlight.

Although the sun was about to set, the number of Demon Hunters heading out for trials had actually increased.

In recent times, the real world had become increasingly restless, with the emergence of the Transcendent World and an endless stream of supernatural beings and spirits.

Many times, Demon Hunters had to carry out their missions in the night. Some monsters were stronger when attacking at night, often becoming active.

The entire Kaer Morhen was meticulously maintained, with clear divisions of labor among the few; all treated this place as their own home.

Henrik, though often unreliable in his day-to-day demeanor, dedicated the most effort to this place and handled all daily affairs.

Goway had completely immersed herself in the study of Alchemy, moving constantly between the library and the Alchemical Laboratory. Together with Hathaway, she had already created a batch of Potions that were tentatively introduced to the market, drawing the attention of many powers.

Some things could never be undone once used.

Sword Oil could not only be smeared on blades, but when bullets were soaked in it through a special process, it could also have significant effects.

Compared to the Enchantment methods of Spirit Mediums and Exorcists, the thoroughly refined Sword Oil from Hunter’s Cabin had a very prominent advantage.

Cheap.

Roger couldn’t help but reflect; these were all things he had figured out along the way. When he had used them, they hadn’t had such good effects.

Bullet loaded, without special treatment, the Sword Oil coating on the surface would be mostly lost upon leaving the gun barrel.

This required targeted improvements; at least, the Sword Oil Roger used before could not be applied directly.

Amanda was mentoring a group of young girls in the ways of the Magician; several of them with good aptitude had already broken through to the Transcendent Realm.

It seemed that due to the influence of the external environment, Roger could distinctly feel that the number of people with special bloodlines was increasing.

Claudia had been seldom seen lately, but the one that pleasantly surprised Roger was Higurashi Chika.

The girl adapted quickly; just a few days without seeing her, her strength had improved, and she was merely a step away from reaching the Fourth Tier.
