Hunter’s Blade

C47 – Melting

The column of fire that the Burning Evil Demon blasted out was terrifying, and it rained down countless flames along the way. A large number of little ghosts were burned to death. Their miserable cries resounded in all directions. Wails and howls could be heard without end. Shire could only endure it with all his might. He stretched out his hand and tried to grab the charred ring. The Flaming Devil Craftsman reached out his flaming claw even faster and caught it in his hand.

Boom! The pillar of flames exploded on the forging platform, and Shire could feel the temperature of the stones under his feet rapidly rising.

“You want to steal something?” The flame craftsman mocked, “You haven’t grown up yet. How are you going to defeat the flame?”

Shire looked at it nervously, and a chaotic scene appeared in his mind.

Fire… Fire! Fire is burning. A chaotic thought popped up in Shire’s mind. Fire brought high temperatures, fire brought light. Fire burned things, and fire changed the way things existed. It evaporates water, melting everything. It can fly, dance, scream, and sing. It could purify everything. I should also become a ball of fire, so that I can merge with them…

In an instant, Shire’s heart was filled with sword and saber lights. The most effective way to fight was to slash, and the most powerful weapon was to use the blade to fight and kill! To cut open all the obstructions on the road! Was this the effect of Gradiu?

Wait a moment! Shire’s body trembled. Don’t give me any psychological hints!

“Then you better work harder!”

Shire found that his skin was emitting green smoke, and it was already starting to burn. It looked like it was being grilled at a low temperature. If he had been trapped in the fire illusion for too long, he would have turned into a little Flame Demon.

How could he defeat the flames…

“Die! Little guy!” The flaming craftsman swallowed the charred black ring into his heart of flames. Then, he released a terrifying large flame that swept towards Shire. He did his best to jump up and down as he searched everywhere for suitable cover. His surroundings were filled with rocks and furnaces.

More demonic artisans of similar levels discovered Shire who was fleeing. They surrounded him and prepared to eliminate him together. He was finished!

Fire… Fire was everywhere! Shire was extremely anxious. The shadow of death loomed over him. He would die, and he would be burned to death at any time.

He couldn’t die, he didn’t want to die.

However, he could not escape. No matter what method he used, he could not escape. The places he could stand were getting fewer and fewer, he desperately hid. In the distance, the even stronger Burning Evil Devil threw out another flaming bullet, bombarding Shire’s position without any hesitation. He saw a tall furnace being hit by a fireball, and the Devil Substance on the surface melted and dissipated in an instant. It turned into a pile of melted black mud. If that kind of flame landed on his body, how many chances would he have to survive?

No way – – damn it –

Shire leaned against the wall at the end of the armory. There was nowhere to retreat. The flame craftsman walked towards Shire.

Flame… How should he defeat a ball of fire? Shire racked his brain.

“We should leave!” Shire urged Gradiu, “Quickly take us away!”

“It’s not that easy. Don’t be noisy.” Gradiu impatiently replied, “You are responsible for surviving. I will think of a way to go back.”

“It’s easy to say!” Survive? How am I going to survive!

Shire stared at the flaming craftsman. The flames on its body kept rising and swaying.

He had to think of a way to defeat the devil. Although he had always said that he wanted to cut the devil open, how could the flames cut it open?

“Where did you come from? Who sent this spy kid?” The flame craftsman spread out the flames and passed Shire’s body bit by bit, making him feel extremely hot. He was about to die, and he was about to be burned to death.

“Burn it! You have forced it into a desperate situation. Burn it!” The distant Burning Demon urged, “Don’t give it a chance!”

Therefore, the flame in front of Shire suddenly enlarged and became even hotter. He dodged to the side, but the flame came at him from behind. He could not get rid of it no matter how hard he tried. Shire was very anxious. If he was burned to death here…

The flame wrapped around his demon body, it was very painful! Very painful! Shire rolled on the stone floor with all his might. When the demons saw the funny look on the little demon’s face, they laughed at him sharply.

“Look, the little demon is rolling!”

“There is nothing more fun than this.”

“This is much more torturous than throwing it into the furnace. Why don’t we keep playing the trick of roasting the little devil?”

“You’re too cruel.”

Shire tried his best to put out the burning flames on his body. He laid on the ground and looked up at the tall flame craftsman. He raised his fire claw high up and hit Shire’s head like he was hitting the workpieces he usually faced.

“Phantom Divine Power!” Shire widened his eyes and used all his strength.

The magnificent air current surged in the air and produced an ear-piercing whistle.

It was time for the Hunter Curse to take effect. Shire made up his mind. He used the highest and strongest rhythm to restrain the air of hell, and increased its strength to the limit.

The flowing air turned into a storm and aimed at the flame. In an instant, the flame craftsman was blown away, and the large ball of flame retreated in a sorry state. It was carried away by the wind and drifted away. The black ring that was floating in the flame’s heart lost its restraint and fell down.

Shire immediately rushed over and picked up the black ring. He raised his head and saw another ball of flame coming towards him. His instinctive fear made Shire forget about his actions for a moment.

“Get down!” Gradiu shouted and called back Shire’s reason. He quickly lowered his head and the fire flew over his head.

He hurriedly ran away, jumped down from the edge of the smelting platform, and smashed his body into the wave of ghosts in the square. All around him were small, energetic devils. The other devil craftsmen chased after him in a violent manner, forming a sea of fire on the ground. At the same time, they angrily and loudly ordered the big ghosts patrolling in the air to quickly catch Shire.

But that fire! Boundless flames surged down from the palace above. Shire raised his head and saw a terrifying scene.

The Burning Demon’s body had been pressing down on the armory, so the temperature of the entire rock dome quickly rose. It made a deafening sound, and the heated rocks quickly bulged. Its size expanded, and it fiercely squeezed the rocks around it. This degeneration caused the rock ceiling to be unable to bear the burden, and huge cracks began to appear within it. One could tell with a single glance that it was enduring an unimaginable amount of pressure. The burning part became scarlet and soft, and the flames burst out from within. Pieces of debris fell from time to time, and the rocks seemed to have a life of their own. It began to expand, and a great power was born from it. It became soft, fluffy, but its thickness doubled. Sparks started to flicker in the air.

“Ah! Ah! Ah!”

“Wuwuwu!” Even though the ghosts were weak and stupid, and their comprehension abilities were low, they could still sense that something was wrong.

Shire stared blankly at the dome that separated the ordnance workshop and the other parts of the palace. Before he could react, the rock had been completely melted and turned into a basin of molten lava that poured down. The burning devil behind it, which had been burning for a long time, also swept down.

Is this the rain of fire that will destroy the world? Shire shivered, and the scene in the workshop in hell became horrifying. Countless ghosts were splashed by the fire stones and instantly disappeared into the fire. Those big ghosts struggled and tried to dodge. However, they were unable to dodge. The tall and magnificent smelting furnace was smashed through by the melted stones, and a large amount of black water of the same high temperature gushed out. When the Evil Demons touched it, a large crater was formed on the outer shell.

Miserable screams, cries, and burning sounds could be heard without an end. Shire tried his best to dodge. He kept pacing back and forth on the line of life and death at every moment. From time to time, scorching magma and collapsing stone slabs would fall from the sky. He had to use all his strength to barely dodge them.

Soul… Soul is gathering towards me?

As the ghosts in the workshop died in the disaster, their souls floated away from their bodies. Gradiu took the opportunity to absorb more soul fragments. The surrounding soul fragments poured into Shire’s body, making Shire’s soul expand and his body grow bigger.

But this was not possible!

Shire was small and could run left and right, but as his strength increased, he became bigger and bigger, and it was more difficult for him to dodge the burning rocks on top of his head.

Hide, run, jump, roll… It was all too late! Shire saw an extremely large piece of molten rock falling rapidly from above him.

He instinctively raised his hand, wanting to use his arm to block the huge rock, but there was a huge cutting sound in the air. The entire rock was cut in half by a strange force, and the hit rock flew out and smashed the head of another big ghost.

Gradiu’s strength had doubled, and he was overjoyed. He crazily absorbed the souls of the dead demons, and his ability to recover quickly. Shire’s body also kept growing. Because he didn’t eat any new Devil Substance, Shire felt like he was a big bag of leather water, constantly swelling up.

“You also know that you need to eat some Devil Substance. Quickly, go and pick up some things to eat.” Gradiu urged.

The ground was filled with burning stones. Otherwise, they would be low rank Abyss Devils whose corpses had been smashed to pieces. Shire rushed over to devour their remains, and Gradiu split open the falling stones. He ordered Shire to hide and develop the hot lava. After eating, Shire’s body gradually became slender and strong, no longer as big and small as an ordinary kid’s head.

He noticed that many cunning lower level devils also took the opportunity to absorb souls and eat the weak in the chaos.

The faster and more greedy the Abyss Devils were, the stronger they became in this chaos.

“You’re dead! Gradiu! You’re dead! ” The Burning Devil that fell down from the dome looked around, trying to lock onto Shire in the endless tide of small devils. Its body was like a twisted and swollen four-legged animal. The lava formed its body, and the charred black Devil Substance covered its body.

“I’m right here!” Gradiu took the initiative to speak, “You trash, obey me! Obey Blade Devil God, Gradiu. I am your new lord! “

“Wa! Wa!”

” Uwah! Uwah! Uwah! Uwah! Uwah! “

“Gradiu! Gradiu!” The ghosts followed suit.

The fire artisans looked at each other in dismay. The smarter big ghosts and the newly grown Abyss Devils also stopped what they were doing.

“Blade Devil God…”

“The most powerful Blade Devil?”

“The Ultimate Sever!”

“The Blade Demon!” Some devils knew about Gradiu’s reputation. Due to his deterrence, most of them chose to listen to Gradiu’s orders.

“I have returned to hell! I will rebuild my rule! All of you are my first batch of followers. I will promote all of you. I will allow you to obtain supreme power and glory in the demon army!” Gradiu ordered, and these devils began to change. As Gradiu’s will was carried out, sharp horns grew on their heads. Blades grew out of their bodies, and they looked similar to the blades of the devils. After accepting Devil God’s constraints, many of the flame craftsmen immediately switched sides. Gradiu’s power made them grow burning sharp blades.

“Go! Picking up our weapons, we will destroy the Flame Devil King in this domain! I will bring you to share its soul kiln! ” Gradiu encouraged them.

These newborn Blade Demons were looking for weapons that they could use. They were eager to give it a try and were ready to fight at any time. They thirsted to be able to slash at it.

“In my name, cut this guy open!” Gradiu shouted at the huge Burning Demon that had fallen on the square. His voice was hoarse and furious. “I have returned. Hell will respect me again! As long as you show your loyalty, I will grant you strength!”

“Oh, oh, oh!”

“Kill!”

Gradiu was satisfied when he saw the Blade Demons of different sizes rushing out.

“Let’s fight this guy to the death.” Shire was eager to fight, and was ready to fight with the flaming vanguard in the center.

“Wrong. Why do you love fighting and killing so much? You don’t like peace like me. Come, while they are stalling for time, let’s go to the palace treasury and rob them. After that, we will return to the human world that I love the most.” Gradiu urged, “This place is so hot.”
