Chapter 283: Book of Revenge, Unknown Reinforcements

In the North, in the Mist Peak Valley, the Wolf School Academy.

Amidst the freezing cold and thousands of miles of frozen mountain ridges, stands an ancient fortress.

The fortress was made of gray-white rocks, towering like part of a snow-capped mountain range. On the towering city wall stood a majestic statue of a giant wolf, its stern gaze overlooking the sheer cliffs, with its back to the training ground where the wind and snow were howling.

In the boundless snow and wind, a cloak of faint red fluttered in the wind.

Hild stood on the city wall, with a huge sword hanging on his back. He closed his injured left eye, folded his arms, and pondered:

"Sora…how long have we been here?"

The Asian dragon's face had an obvious scar, and his aura was calmer than before. After thinking for a while, he said:

"I can't remember, it's been about three months. Why, are we leaving?"

Hildre nodded slightly and said, "I have already mastered the swordsmanship of the Wolf Clan. As for their totem, the Chaos Wolf... although I have not had the chance to see its true appearance, knowing that it is still alive, but sleeping under the frozen earth, is already very important information..."

Four months have passed since I parted with Yeats.

During these four months, Hilde traveled around the North, gained knowledge, honed his combat skills, and explored the ancient myths buried in the old era.

In this Wolf School academy located in the far north and rarely visited by people, Hildreth sparred with a group of Wolf School demon hunters, and made a name for himself. He also obtained the qualification to browse the academy's collection of books and enter the dense forest for training.

In the dense forest, Hildreth heard the sound of the wind like a giant wolf's breathing. Later, after being enlightened by the contemporary Wolf School [Mentor], she realized that this was a Chaos Wolf sleeping deep in the frozen earth.

His exhalation formed the strong winds that blew in the Wufeng Valley all year round; His inhalation made the vast land become barren, with almost no crops able to grow.

In the Wolf School Academy, supplies are very tight.

It is common for demon hunters to duel over a meal.

This cruel environment also forges the demon hunters' extraordinary powers that far surpass those of ordinary adventurers.

Hildre's eyes scanned the boundless snowfield on the body of the Chaos Wolf, and he murmured, "He has been sleeping for thousands of years, but he can still mobilize the power of nature... I wonder what kind of amazing scene it will be when He wakes up..."

Sora said: "The Chaos Wolf is still alive. So the totems of the Snake, Eagle, and Squirrel factions, the Cosmic Serpent, Ancient Storm Eagle, and Fanged Traveler, are also alive. But their whereabouts are unknown."

Hildreth's eyes were thoughtful, and suddenly she smiled slightly, like ice and snow melting. That rare smile made Sora fall into a trance. He asked curiously, "Why, are you thinking of Baron Yeats?"

"The news from the south is that he has been promoted to earl."

Hildre said calmly, "And the one I am laughing at is the [Tusk Traveler]... He is just like what is recorded in the myths, constantly running around, constantly sowing discord, and constantly fanning the flames..."

The vivid expression of Zuan Ya seemed to appear before his eyes, which made Hildes think of Yeats, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Sora asked in surprise: "Do you know the whereabouts of the Fang Traveler?"

Hild smiled and said nothing, changing the subject.

"I have to go meditate, Sora. Wait for me in the dormitory. I'll hunt a white wolf in the forest and roast it for you."

Sora said with a pale face: "That's against school rules!"

"We are not students here." Hildreth said in silence, "How long has it been since you were disciplined?"

Sora was stunned and muttered softly: "I'm not like you. I can convince my mentor and I have to follow the rules of the demon hunter..."

Dense forest.

Located behind the college.

It is a deep black coniferous forest, inhabited by wild and powerful monsters. The Wild Hunt Altar is hidden in the deepest part of the forest.

Meditating beside the Wild Hunt altar can significantly improve the breathing method of the Wolf Demon Hunter. Therefore, only the most outstanding Wolf Demon Hunters are qualified to enter the dense forest.

Xilude benefited a lot from her experience at the Wolf School Academy. The short-term training of nearly three months has allowed her to reach the bottleneck of the peak of the fifth ring.

This terrifying speed of improvement is a reflection of being blessed by heaven and being favored by fate.

soon.

Hildrede came to the altar, glanced at the statue of the King of the Wild Hunt on the altar, and began to meditate as usual.

However.

A strange black fog suddenly rose in the dense forest.

Lightning and thunder surged in the black fog, covering the area around the altar and blocking the exit like a barrier.

Hildre's eyes narrowed slightly, and he grasped the hilt of the sword behind his back with his hands. While lifting it, he changed to holding the sword with both hands, leaped up like a tiger, and slashed with great force, like thunder, at the figure gradually emerging from the black fog!

A scream suddenly rang out.

"Valkyrie, spare my life!!"

Hild was startled, and saw a red-skinned devil appear in the black fog, sweating profusely. He carefully moved the sword away from his neck and said with an apologetic smile:

"I am the messenger of the King of the Wild Hunt... He is too busy to handle everything, so he sent me to deliver a message to you!"

Clang! The tip of Hildreth's sword moved one step closer to the red devil's neck, and he said coldly: "What I hate most is the devil."

The Red Devil quickly raised his hands and begged for mercy: "I know, I know! My master has told me about your temper. Don't worry, I will neither let you play chess with me nor give you riddles... I will only pass on the message, and then I will leave and not disturb your quiet and elegant life!"

Hildre's eyes were cold, signaling the Red Devil to speak quickly if he had anything to say.

The Red Devil breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "My master asked me to remind you that if you encounter a parchment scroll that wants to sign a contract with you and says it will help you with revenge, you must not agree, because..."

The words haven't finished yet.

Hildes had already taken out a tattered parchment scroll from his arms.

"Is this what you are talking about?"

The Red Devil's eyes suddenly widened, and he took two steps back, observing the parchment scroll vigilantly.

Only after confirming that the parchment scroll was not covered by any divinity did the Red Devil wipe the sweat from his forehead and said helplessly: "I didn't expect that you had already taken action... This [Revenge Page] must have said a lot of words to seduce you, right?"

Hildre was silent.

She recalled that when she first came to the Wolf School, she felt an inexplicable surge of hostility in her heart.

Thinking of her adoptive parents who were murdered by a group of unknown murderers, who were most likely former demon hunters, a lot of shadows began to grow in Hildre's heart.

But after experiencing the test of the sword in the tree, Hilde's character is one of the best in the entire Midgard continent, so he quickly saw through the clues and split the [Page of Revenge] that came to lobby in half.

Later, Hildreth thought that the parchment scroll might come in handy, so he took it with him.

"What is the origin of this parchment scroll?" asked Hildreth.

The Red Devil said solemnly: "This is what my master asked me to tell you..."

"The fifth of the seven apostles, the Apostle of Vengeance, is also known for his virtue of tolerance... His image is a [Book of Vengeance]. The pages of this book are scattered all over the continent, selecting extraordinary people who are full of hatred but have extraordinary talents, signing contracts with them, and looking for suitable [Containers] from them."

"At present, my Lord cannot determine which host the Apostle of Vengeance has chosen as the vessel for His coming to the world. He can only collect the pages of the Book of Vengeance as much as possible."

“He knows your life story and is worried that you will be blinded by hatred.” The Red Devil rubbed his hands and said with a smile, “I didn’t expect that you have extraordinary determination and will not be shaken by the Apostle of Vengeance at all!”

Hildreth seemed to be thinking about something, and then said, "King of the Wild Hunt, why don't you come here in person? Didn't He move freely between the material realm and the divine realm in the past?"

Hearing this, the Red Devil sighed and said:

"You don't know, that Seraph with the title of 'King of Holy War', even my Lord can only avoid His edge. Alas, if my Lord hadn't held those powerful apostles tightly, the guy with the Silver Oak Sword would have been exposed under the nose of the heavens long ago!"

Xilude's eyes changed slightly, and he asked, "Is Ye Zhi in danger?"

The Red Devil slapped his forehead and said suddenly, "That's right, his name is Ye Zhi!"

“Honestly, I admire him for passing the Silver Oak Sword test…” the Red Devil muttered, “But, now the Apostle of Vengeance has probably set his sights on him… He’s going to be in big trouble!”

Facing the Red Devil's weirdness, Xilude calmed down and said:

"I know the King of the Wild Hunt. He will not ignore Yeats."

The Red Devil was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "How...how come you say that?"

Hildre said calmly, "Because... I am sure there is cooperation between these two people, otherwise, the King of the Wild Hunt would not have helped them again and again."

"And this time..." Hildes glanced at the Red Devil, "Since He asked you to deliver the message, He must have a plan to deal with the Apostle of Vengeance—"

"Just tell me now, don't keep me in suspense any longer!"

Faced with Hildreth's reversal of power, the Red Devil couldn't help but shake his head.

Yeats's two confidantes, one is wise but appears foolish, the other is brave and resourceful.

It seems that even the Lord of Lust is very fond of him... I really envy this guy!

"Well, you are right. My Lord does have a plan."

The Red Devil cleared his throat and said, "However, this plan was not carried out by Him. Instead, He came forward and spent a lot of money to ask a god known to both of you to help Ye Zhi."

"Both parties know each other?" Hildreth was startled and speculated, "Could it be... the Black Knight?"

The Red Devil smiled mysteriously and said, "When that god makes his move, you will know!"

"Now, give me the parchment."

The Red Devil stretched out his hand and said, "My Lord has specifically instructed that as long as we collect all the parchments, we might be able to use the power of the Book of Vengeance for our own people!"

There was no need for the Red Devil to lie. After thinking for a moment, Hildesh handed the parchment to the Red Devil.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

"Well, my mission is complete..." The Red Devil put away the parchment scroll, put his hand on his chest, bowed gracefully, and said, "Please allow me to leave... I look forward to seeing you next time... if there is a next time."

In an instant, the black fog covering the altar disappeared, along with the figure of the Red Devil.

Hildreth frowned, pondering over the information related to the Apostle of Vengeance, and was about to pass this important information to Ye Zhi through [Blessing·Telepathy].

However, he discovered that Ye Zhi seemed to have entered a forbidden place shrouded by divinity, and the means of communication were completely ineffective! At this critical moment...Hilde felt heavy in his heart, and turned to Gray to communicate, saying, "Gray, where are you and Ye Zhi now?"

Soon, Gray's message came back, saying:

"Hilde! Yezhi just left Lundu with the Lionheart King. He left in a hurry. He said he was going to Lake Ness. The mission was dangerous and he wouldn't let me go with him!"

"Lake Ness..."

Hildreth paused, and said, "I have an important piece of information to tell Ye Zhi in person. It is related to the [Apostle of Vengeance]!"

"Apostle of Vengeance?" Gray asked in surprise, "What information?"

"The Apostle of Vengeance will select a suitable container from among the hosts who have signed a vengeance contract with Him."

Hildreth said in a serious voice: "I must remind Ye Zhi, be careful of the apostle's coming again!

Gray said, "Then I'll catch up now!"

Hildrede originally wanted to go to Lake Ness in person, but the journey was too long and she would not be able to make it in time.

And she trusted Grey.

As if blessed by the god of luck, Yeats can always escape danger as long as Gray is present!

Hildre said solemnly: "Then... I'll leave it to you, Gray!"

Gray said confidently, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it!"

…

Lake Ness.

The misty valley is rarely visited by people. The vast fog covers a vast lake with clear green water.

A figure with scarlet fighting spirit surging around him landed on the lakeside.

The person who came was wearing a red dress, with wavy black hair falling to her waist. She held a trident in her hand, and the scabbard of the Sword in the Stone hung around her waist. Her beautiful eyes looked around vigilantly.

"This... is the entrance to Avalon that Colin mentioned..."

Prince Blood Spider stood by the Ness Lake, looking at the foggy lake, and murmured, "Legend has it that the sword of Emperor Lorraine, the 'Sword of the Lake', is hidden deep in Avalon... Along with the sword in the lake, there is also the famous 'Solomon's Seal'..."

Thinking of the seal ring that was said to be able to control the devil, a trace of desire flashed across the depths of Blood Spider Lord's eyes.

Becoming a vassal of the Blood King is an honor that countless vampires dream of, but Lord Blood Spider's ambition is not limited to this.

If we can obtain the Sword in the Lake and Solomon's Seal, we can not only establish the Kingdom of the Blood Clan, but even achieve the Holy Land... It is not an extravagant hope! A deep hatred flashed in the eyes of the Blood Spider Lord.

Immediately, she took out the Sword in the Stone and chanted the spell to open Avalon.

This spell is hidden in the national seal of the Golden Lion. This is why Lord Blood Spider disguised himself as a duchess to approach the Duke of Suffolk, the keeper of the royal seal.

At this moment, the three great treasures of the Golden Lion Kingdom all fell into the hands of Lord Blood Spider... She floated in the sky above Lake Ness, chanting a spell slowly.

Before his eyes, a scene seemed like a dream coming true, and Blood Spider Lord sighed softly in his heart.

"Father, look, I finally became a vampire... and will soon ascend the throne of the vampire race!"

The spell ends.

On the scabbard of the Sword in the Stone, beautiful runes glowed.

Then, the fog over Lake Ness surged and shone brightly, as if a new dimension was about to open up! The Blood Spider's eyes lit up slightly.

At the moment when her guard was at its lowest, an extremely sharp arrow shot at her from behind! Swoosh——

The longbow is the representative weapon of the Golden Lion Kingdom.

Everyone knows that King Lionheart is an expert swordsman, but few people know that archery is his real expertise!

This arrow was an attack with all the strength of King Lionheart.

All his plans were waiting for the moment when Lord Blood Spider would fall into his trap and reveal his flaws! Lord Blood Spider was startled, and his face turned ashen in an instant.

A strong sense of fear rose in her heart.

Even when facing the attack from two six-ring masters at the wedding banquet, Lady Blood Spider remained calm. But this time, she felt the threat of death for the first time!

She was clearly facing away from the arrow, but she had already dodged it. This was the survival instinct of a wild animal. The strong intuition helped Blood Spider avoid the fatal blow, but the arrow still hit her shoulder, and the blood mist exploded with a bang! "This turned out to be... a trap?"

Prince Blood Spider had an expressionless face as he stared at the Lionheart King standing by the lake. He said coldly, "I underestimated you after all, Your Majesty."

The Lionheart King has a majestic face, gray hair on his temples, and a golden royal robe swaying in the wind. Beside him stands a Fiery Sun Fighting Lion that exudes a royal aura.

"You should already know why I let you take the Sword in the Stone away?" King Lionheart said indifferently.

Lord Blood Spider sneered and said, "But I didn't expect that you would have the guts to withstand my spear at the wedding banquet... Even if you pretend to be unscathed, your life is almost coming to an end, right?"

The Lionheart King laughed loudly and said, "Even if I only have one breath left, it is still more than enough to deal with you!"

At the same time, Colin walked out of the bushes by the lake, holding a sword, and stood beside the Lionheart.

Three against one, this is a deadly situation.

No matter how powerful Lord Blood Spider is, he cannot fight against three six-ring masters at the same time by himself.

Before she stepped into Lake Ness, the enchantment had already been set up around her... The Lionheart King calculated every step and lured the Blood Spider Lord into the trap step by step. Now, it was time to close the net! She was only one step away from success, but her beautiful dream was suddenly broken. What greeted the Blood Spider Lord was a cold trap and a murderous intent.

However, Lord Blood Spider showed amazing courage, holding the Blood King Spear in his hand, and said loudly:

"Birth and bloodline, victory and defeat, success and failure are all determined by fate, and today, I will declare war on this fate!"

The Blood Spider King turned into a beam of blood light and rushed towards the Lionheart King!

The Lionheart King showed a trace of respect for the powerful enemy in his eyes, ignited a great fighting spirit, and drew his sword to meet him! Ye Zhi was watching on the scene, and vaguely felt that there was something missing... The parchment scroll in the memory of the Blood Spider Lord always gave Ye Zhi a bad premonition.

At this time, strange changes occurred again in Lake Ness.

Obviously, Lake Ness was not the entrance to Avalon, but in the center of the foggy lake, there was an island, which was exactly the same as the legendary wonderland of Avalon! The Blood Spider was shocked... She didn't understand. This was clearly a trap set by the Lionheart King, so how could Avalon really appear before her eyes?

Even the Lionheart King was surprised and could not remain calm. He said, "How...how is this possible?!"

Yeats gazed at the hazy island in the middle of the lake, and then thought of the suspicious Lake Ness, and a guess suddenly emerged in his mind.

Before he could verify this conjecture, the Blood Spider Lord had already rushed towards the island in the middle of the lake! The Lionheart King's plan was disrupted, and he forced himself to remain calm and said in a stern voice: "Chase after her, don't let her get close to Avalon!"
