Chapter 158 Awakening. The Demon-Slaying Blade.
Chapter 158 Awakening: The Blade of Demon Slayer
Otherwise, the neighbors would definitely sense the situation here.
However, those outside cannot hear the commotion here.
However, the family members could still sense it.
"Dad, what's that noise?" Vierlan, wearing white pajamas, came out of her bedroom.
However, before Loya could explain, she saw the strange monster.
"Ah, what the hell is this?" Vierlan trembled in fright.
There was no way around it; she wasn't like Loya, that well-traveled imposter father. She rarely even left the city.
She used to be just an ordinary person.
I didn't see any of these inhuman beings at all.
Nowadays, without any mental preparation, it's easy to be caught off guard and startled!
"I don't know either. This guy sneaked in and wanted to kill me."
“If it weren’t for your father being powerful, I would definitely be dead, and you would probably be killed too.”
Loya said with lingering fear, "Child, quickly go to the basement and get an iron cage. We need to put this monster inside."
Vierlan nodded blankly.
She is quite familiar with the simple tools in the house.
She could definitely weld a cage.
Plus, we had all the materials at home, so it was even faster.
Loya stayed with the monster, occasionally charging it with electricity, which completely rendered the monster powerless to resist. It couldn't disappear on the spot, much less kill with its claws.
Incidentally, Loya was also studying the monster's body.
Unfortunately, without the necessary equipment, he was unable to examine the monster's body in greater detail.
...
"Buzz buzz buzz," the welding machine roared.
A large cage is rapidly taking shape.
By this time, Vierland had also calmed down.
"Dad, that's amazing! He actually took down a non-human monster." Vierlan was filled with shock.
Although she only glanced at the monster briefly, she could tell that it was very powerful. Its sharp claws and thick, strange body revealed its formidable, inhuman strength.
"However, shouldn't we call the police and hand over the monster at this point?" Vierlan belatedly realized something.
"Dad, you're not planning to imprison that monster in the house, are you?"
The thought sent chills down Vierlan's spine.
"No, no, I have to talk to Dad properly."
"This dangerous monster should absolutely not be kept at home. We should offer it to the authorities."
"Speaking of which, aren't all fantasy stories just lies? If the monsters contained within have actually become real, then are other fantastical beings also real?"
"Also, Shana said that a lot of people have died recently. Could it all be caused by these monsters?"
In a short time, Vierlan had many associations.
To be honest, today's events have changed her understanding of the world.
After about several tens of minutes, the cage was completed.
With difficulty, Villan moved it onto the cart and left the basement.
Next, Loya and Vierlan teamed up to lock the monster in a cage and connected it to electricity, continuously shocking the monster with electricity.
“Father, we’d better kill him quickly,” Vierlan said worriedly. “This thing is too dangerous. If we’re not careful, we could kill ourselves and others.”
As she spoke, Vierlan's voice became menacing: "The most important thing is that it consumes too much electricity, and our family may not be able to afford it."
"Buzz," the ring that Dejin had given him suddenly flashed and released a faint colored light.
However, it was too faint for Vierlan to sense.
Loya's attention was also focused on the monster, and he didn't notice anything amiss.
“Child, I also want to kill him, but it seems that ordinary attacks are not fatal to him at all. Fortunately, only electric current can barely subdue him. Next, I plan to burn him or dismember him.” Loya said righteously, “Don’t worry, if I can’t kill him within two days, I will call the police and let the authorities get involved. With the capabilities of the authorities, they probably already know about this thing and have some understanding of it.”
Hearing this, Vierlan felt a little relieved.
"Snap!" Vierlan's expression changed drastically; she felt a strange sensation in her heart. She instinctively clutched her chest.
"Um, what's wrong with you?" Loya finally turned his attention to Vierlan.
“No…” Vierlan shook her head, but before she could finish speaking, an unusual purple-blue light burst forth from her body.
This turned her entire body into a purplish-blue color.
“Extraordinary…” Loya couldn’t help but exclaim.
However, what bothered him was that he still couldn't sense any extraordinary aura from Vierlan.
If he hadn't witnessed this scene, even if he were in his own home, he wouldn't have known about the changes in Vierlan.
"Damn it, this damn world is definitely targeting me." Loya gritted his teeth, his heart filled with violence and resentment.
Three seconds later, the light dissipated.
"Child, how are you feeling now?" Loya asked curiously.
"What just happened to me?" Vierlan looked at her body in confusion.
Immediately afterwards, she felt a strange power surge within her. At the same time, a stronger killing intent arose within her towards the monster.
Or perhaps, the magical power within her is highly sensitive to monsters, almost as if they are incompatible.
She instinctively reached out her hand.
With a "whoosh," a purple-blue longsword appeared in her hand.
“The Blade of Demon Slayers,” Vierlan said instinctively.
“I seem to be able to do that.” Villan brandished her sword.
The sword was aimed directly at the monster.
With a "whoosh," the sword blade sliced through the iron cage and the monster.
"Pfft," the trembling monster froze, and the next second, its body split in two and fell to the bottom of the cage.
"Ugh, you kid!!!" Loya was speechless. This monster was an important research subject for him, and now that it's gone, he's quite heartbroken.
However, what pained him even more was the monster's remains. It seemed to have been invaded by Vierlan's strange and extraordinary power, and it melted away, turning into black mist that merged into the air and disappeared.
"It's completely over, absolutely nothing left." Loya's lips and brows twitched; her heart ached terribly.
"Wow, that's amazing." Vierlan didn't seem to sense her father's miserable state of mind. She was just excitedly playing with the Demon Slayer Blade, as if she had just received a toy.
“Indeed, very impressive. Perhaps I should teach you some swordsmanship in the future.” Loya nodded. He was actually quite surprised; he could tell that Villan’s newly acquired extraordinary power was very strong.
He wasn't sure exactly how powerful it was. The monster from before was far too weak for Vierlan; it likely hadn't posed the slightest obstacle.
“I’ve destroyed the monster that even my father couldn’t handle, so am I even more powerful than my father?” Vierlan looked up at Loya.
Loya reluctantly replied, "In terms of extraordinary power, you are definitely far superior to me. However, if we are only comparing mortal power, then I am definitely the strongest."
Loya spoke his final words with complete confidence.
"That's wonderful." Vierlan didn't care about her father's last bit of stubbornness. She jumped up happily, hugged Loya's neck, and hung on him, shouting, "I can protect you now, Dad, I'm not a burden to you anymore."
“Oh, you’re such a child.” Loya laughed too. “You’ve never been a burden to me.”
Although this visit was just a "joke," he still cherishes this relationship. Hmm, he's getting a little too involved.
Because this novel experience made him quite comfortable.
“I know, but I can’t accept your protection without feeling guilty.” Vierlan said earnestly, “I want to be Dad’s support, I want to use my own strength to protect you, and then, to protect the world.”
Loya couldn't help but roll his eyes. He realized that Vierlan had been raised to be a bit too immature.
Having just gained extraordinary power, he already has a distant ambition.
The world is so big and so full of love; it doesn't need an extraordinary novice to protect it.
Overall, however, it's still quite good.
"Yes, Dad believes in you. Because you are my daughter, Loya!" Loya encouraged him righteously.
...
This is destined to be a sleepless night.
Veran couldn't sleep, and neither could Loya. They were both fascinated by the monsters and the Demon-Slaying Blade. This newfound knowledge filled them with a sense of wonder.
...
Outside.
A tall man walked down a dark, deserted street.
"Strange, where did the noise go?"
The man looked at Loya's house with suspicion and said softly, "Could it be that the battle is over?"
"Then, my dearest friend, are you dead now?"
"And has the destined savior already awakened?"
If Loya and Vierlan were here, they would recognize that this man was none other than Dejin.
As time went by, Dejin's doubts only grew.
Because Loya's home is very quiet and harmonious.
The circuits that were initially faulty returned to normal after the monster died.
The lights returned to normal.
Bright lights shone through the window.
From the outside, one can barely make out a tall figure busy inside.
Dejin was taken aback: "Loya, he's still alive?"
"That shouldn't be the case. That low-level shadow beast that I managed to lure here is far beyond what a mortal like Loya could handle."
"Only the Awakened Ones, who have been granted extraordinary power by the world, possess the ability to destroy demons."
...
Dejin felt that the situation was completely out of control.
Since three years ago, Loya has become someone he can't quite understand.
Now, it's even more unbelievable to him.
"However, I will not give up."
Dejin clenched his fist and slowly retreated: "A savior should have no attachments."
"For the sake of this world, my dear friend, you must die."
"If I can't kill you once, I'll do it twice."
"If twice isn't enough, I'll try three times..."
...
Loya had no idea that his best friend wanted him dead.
Now, after treating his minor injuries, he has started cooking again.
It's this late, having a late-night snack isn't unreasonable.
Before I knew it, dawn had broken.
Loya opened the door and started doing business.
Vierlan, however, was holding an iron rod and practicing her swordsmanship incessantly in the open space behind the house.
...
On the street, an old police car was moving slowly.
The driver was a young, blond man who had just come of age. In the passenger seat next to him, a beautiful woman with brown hair, wearing a police uniform skirt, lay sprawled out. She casually crossed her long legs, her face radiating languidness. She didn't look very old either, appearing to be around twenty-five.
At this age, she has fully matured, with a curvaceous figure that exudes charm.
"Captain, do we really think we can find those damn things by just wandering around like this?" The young man was focused on what was ahead, but his mouth couldn't help but wander off.
"Let's try our luck. Those cunning things are very sly. We haven't found their lair yet. It's going to be very difficult to find any trace of them."
"All we can do is try our luck."
"If we're lucky enough to run into one, that would be wonderful."
"Of course, during the day, those guys are basically not very active."
"If it were at night, there might be a chance."
"At the same time, there are very few pedestrians at night, which makes things more convenient for us."
As the woman was speaking, she suddenly clapped her hands and said, "That's settled then. Let's rest during the day and move on tonight."
"But the director ordered us to step up our efforts, and I think it would be good to look during the day." The young man hesitated, seemingly unwilling to listen to the woman.
"Hmph, these stupid guys, always making things difficult for people." The woman deflated as soon as she heard the name of the bureau chief. She looked helplessly at the roof of the car, her eyes becoming vacant, as if she were turning into a salted fish.
Before they knew it, the car had arrived at the entrance of a grocery store.
"Ding ding ding," suddenly, a slight sound rang out from the woman's body.
With a "whoosh," the car came to a sudden stop.
"Damn it, does he even know how to drive?" A string of curses came from behind.
Originally, the car suddenly stopped, and the car following behind almost crashed into it.
"Feike, park the car properly, don't get in the way," the woman said, then quickly opened the door and got out.
"Captain, you have to wait for me." The young man, Fei Ke, looked anxious.
The woman ignored Fei Ke and took out a small black tag, about the size of a palm, from her breast pocket. At that moment, a bell was ringing from the tag.
"Hehe, I really didn't expect to be so lucky."
The woman seemed to receive some kind of guidance, and she slowly walked towards the grocery store.
"Welcome to Loya's General Store, what would you like to order, Officer?" The tall shop owner, Loya, greeted her warmly.
"Phew," the woman ignored Loya and stepped over the threshold into the store.
She took a deep breath and said, "Even without the sensor, I can smell that disgusting stench."
"There's no mistake, there's something strange here."
A glint of fire flashed in the woman's eyes.
She walked further inside.
Loya's expression turned suspicious.
Soon, the woman arrived at a somewhat damaged wall.
This is where Loya and the monsters are fighting.
Although the battle was brief, it left very obvious traces here.
With time running out, although Loya cleaned up the place a bit, he was unable to restore it to its original state.
"Uh, the atmosphere is so dim."
"This place seems to be just a place that ghostly thing passed through?"
"Or perhaps, it could be the place where that ghostly thing died."
The woman murmured to herself; her voice, though not loud, was not quiet either.
