"Urias, my love!"
Tightly holding onto two parchment pages, the teenage girl, Maria, went to the place that the two of them had agreed on, with her face flushed red and yearning for love.
Immediately, she saw Urias who was already waiting there.
Urias still looked the same as before when they first met. His warm and handsome looks completely resonated with the image of Prince Charming in her heart.
"Maria, my moon and the stars."
Urias turned his body around and revealed a bright smile.
"This is what you wanted, two pages of Hulk's parchment!"
Maria cheerfully raised her hand. "I simply looked around without too much effort and managed to find it to pass on to you!"
"Thank you very much…"
Urias sank into silence. Apparently, even he didn't expect that things would go so smoothly. "There won't be any trouble or repercussions in the future from what you've done, right?"
"Don't worry, my father is Hulk's benefactor. Even though he's become the association's leader now, it'll be the same…" Maria proudly raised her chin. "Not to mention… I played and grew up with him since a young age—his things are also my things!"
In reality, there was a sense of satisfaction that was derived from revenge in the teenage girl's heart at that moment.
After numerous instances of flirting and attempting to court him, Hulk still remained indifferent and did nothing. This, to her, was really humiliating!
Therefore, upon hearing Urias's request, she didn't hesitate to agree to it.
Needless to say, female biological creatures, who have fallen into the clutches of passionate and frenzied emotions, practically wouldn't even consider the consequences.
"Since that's the case…"
After confirming the authenticity of the Dead Sea Ancient Scroll, the sides of Urias' mouth grew into a subtle arc. He tossed out a bag of gems, saying, "Take it, this is your reward!"
"Reward?"
Maria opened up the bag and saw different types of shiny stones inside. She was partially dazzled, but immediately felt extremely uneasy. "I'll accept these as your gift to me, thank you."
"Then… Goodbye."
Urias waved his hand.
"Wait up!"
After seeing him wave his hand, the uneasiness in Maria's heart intensified. "Didn't you say… you were going to take me away? Together, we'll leave this hellish mainland and find a place where nobody recognizes me, to bear a child together…"
"I say… Little girl, haven't you realized it by now?"
Urias embraced her with both hands. "Then, I'm sorry to say this to you again—You've been fooled! If there really were a Prince Charming in this world, the probability that you would encounter him is less than getting struck by a meteor. Do you understand now?"
"No….You cannot do this!"
Maria's tears flowed out rapidly as she released the grip in her hands. The bag of gems immediately plummeted to the ground.
She felt a bitter and cold feeling in her heart, as though her heart had sunk. A deep sense of fear immediately emerged in her heart after the promise that she would escape to a faraway place vanished into thin air. She's provoked and caused trouble in the Evil Demon Hunter Association, and there wasn't a place left on the mainland that she could reside in. How can this small bag of gems be enough to compensate her for this?
"Urias, you promised me before."
The teenage girl's tears flowed down like broken pearls while clutching at the last few bales of straw.
"Since you haven't lost hope yet….."
Urias let out a sigh, and within the strong plumes of green fire, he instantly transformed into the form of an Evil Demon. "How about this? Are you willing to accompany me to hell?"
"Ah!"
Looking at the majestic shadow of the demon, the burning wings, and the black horns that resemble that of a mountain goat, within the flames, the once handsome complexion turned into a ferocious one. This immediately dashed Maria's originally lovely fantasies as she limped and fell to the ground.
"What is it?"
Urias deliberately went closer, allowing Maria to have a better view. "Didn't you say that 'love can transcend anything'?"
"No….Evil Demon, go away…."
Maria let out a shrill scream. "I want my mother! Father….Come save me quickly!"
"What a pity!"
Urias let out a sigh and didn't attack her. He immediately flapped his wings and disappeared into the horizon.
…
"Oh?"
Inside the army camp, Fang Yuan looked at one of the techniques in his hands, and let out a satisfied smile. "The Dead Sea Ancient Scroll has been stolen? Good!"
If it wasn't for the fact that he had intentionally let the Evil Demons succeed, he would've carried the Dead Sea Ancient Scroll with him everywhere he went, as it cannot be lost.
"I just don't know who was the one who betrayed me. The Evil Demons' abilities when it comes to controlling the minds of people are still remarkably proficient."
He vigorously waved his Starry Night sword and chopped off the head of an Evil Demon.
Scanning the entire battlefield, he saw Evil Demon Hunters mercilessly slaughtering normal members of the Night Family Clan. There was even one present when they surrounded the metallic summoning door, leaving only the Evil Demons struggling at the brink of death.
"Die!"
He saw an opportunity as the demon cries seemingly appeared out of thin air. Evil Demon Sauron immediately sensed a great impending danger and turned its head.
Thump!
After the sound of a gunshot rang out, a large wound immediately appeared in its shoulder.
In that instance, a silver arrow streak instantly flew by like an ember flint and entered a nearby void space in the sky.
An Evil Demon appeared while covering its chest in the spot where its heart was, and shockingly enough, a small silver arrow was embedded in it.
"Demon Hunter…..you…."
The tall Chaos Evil Demon Cosmo was extremely astonished. "How did you manage to find me?"
"Dead people don't need to know so much!"
A Demon Hunter Crossbow is able to kill a Sacred Weapon holder, and it can naturally inflict a horrifyingly large amount of damage to Evil Demons.
Not to mention the fact that this "Chaos" Evil Demon was fatally injured a long time ago, and even his endowment of three lives was completely eradicated.
Fang Yuan rapidly advanced forward, and his sword seemingly reflecting a starry sky. "Morning Star Swordsmanship—Starry Sky Realm!"
The shining stars flickered brightly while thousands of sword essences burst forth like meteor streaks. These streaks repelled Evil Demons like Sauron while the one in the center penetrated Sauron's forehead.
Bang!
In the midst of the loud but muffled noise, blood and flesh splattered everywhere.
With a single sword, the Evil Demon King—Chaos Cosmo—was defeated!
"Retreat!"
Witnessing this scene, all the remaining Evil Demons trembled with fear.
In the original Evil Demon Trio, only the Evil Demon Sauron was left alive. Sauron immediately let out a large scream.
Suddenly, some of the Evil Demons flapped their wings open, while others released fumes of black fog. All of them chose to retreat and escape.
Regarding all the Night Family Clan members, they all naturally became abandoned cannon fodder.
"Leader!"
Krist and a few of the other Evil Demon Hunters walked over, and they were already expressing their gratitude and courtesy towards Fang Yuan. "After this war, without a doubt, us demon hunters would be able to restore our former honor and glory!"
"Restore our glory? All of you are really too conservative!"
Fang Yuan laughed out loud, "We need to summon our courage and completely eradicate this cancerous gathering of Evil Demons and completely eliminate the Night Family Clan. Of course… and those Master clansmen!"
"Very wise, leader!"
Although some of the Evil Demon Hunters felt that it was an extremely difficult task to do what he had just mentioned, most of the others were basking in the glow of victory, and they were cheering loudly.
"Since the Evil Demons have already been eradicated…"
Fang Yuan didn't miss any opportunities to engage in war, and he immediately commanded them, "Tell all the generals to launch a full-scale attack! Now that the enemies are terrified of us, we'll definitely achieve a great victory."
"Yes, my lord!"
Not a single Evil Demon Hunter had any objection to this point.
The only unfortunate thing was that they didn't know that the Dead Sea Ancient Scroll was stolen behind the scenes.
Once the Mother of Reproduction is summoned by the Evil Demons, this world would plummet into a deep abyss.
…
First year of the Evil Demon Hunter era.
With the help of the Evil Demon Hunters, General Soro obtained a huge victory in the battle of Jinhu Reservoir. He defeated the Northern coalition army, mainly comprising of Kunsha, Gamma and Kris. There were over 100,000 captives, and they also obtained countless military equipment.
Once the news was released, it created a worldwide sensation.
The countries which were still revolting in the South would definitely rejoice, but the Master clans in the North remained silent.
Not only that, the instability and insecurity brought about by the war will cause a lot of commotion and uprises in different areas, causing the Masters to be exhausted and overwhelmed with work.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Southern Allied forces crossed into March—Lowton defense—and employed every army force, completely destroying the enemy. The resistance they experienced during this siege was unbelievably weak.
Only the Masters remained in this scenario, whilst the Evil Demons chose to retreat. They basically didn't have much power to resist, and they were easily crushed by the Evil Demon Hunters.
Until the second year of the Evil Demon Hunter era, the entire Alka continent was completely suppressed. The Masters in the 13 clans were fundamentally eliminated, and the Evil Demons retreated into the shadows once more while they quietly tended to their wounds.
However, more information accumulated into Fang Yuan's hands. This allowed him to discover that the Evil Demons were merely busy with something else.
"Found traces of Evil Demon activity at Demon Gorge. One small team of Evil Demon Hunters were completely annihilated. We need more manpower to assist us!"
At this moment, his face darkened and became more serious after reading this information.
It was very apparent that the Evil Demons had long discarded their delusion of conquering the mainland. Instead, they're now directing all their energy into lifting the seal on the Mother of Reproduction.
Therefore, they had completely given up on human cities, but instead, they're residing and appearing in various places of interest, just like an explorer.
"Let me go, Hulk!"
Uncle Jock suddenly stood up with a firm determined look on his face.
This old Demon Hunter was previously well-trained by Fang Yuan, who had given him preferential treatment and many resources to work with. Under his tutelage, he successfully achieved another breakthrough and advanced into the realm of possessing a domain.
However, his face didn't have any traces of happiness; instead, it only showed calm hatred.
"Okay…"
Fang Yuan sighed, and he randomly wrote a few words on the official document. "Is Maria still doing fine?"
Ever since the previous incident where the Dead Sea Ancient Scroll was stolen, Maria became mentally unstable after suffering from a tremendous emotional blow. Currently, she was still undergoing treatment in a mental institute.
After all, an ordinary person would go insane when they encounter an Evil Demon. This is inevitable, especially if the person has experienced a major blow to their emotional state.
"Just like the old times…."
Jock sighed, and bowed. "Maria made a huge mistake. I'm very grateful for the fact that you didn't punish her. However, I must bear the responsibility of this crime! I'll kill that Evil Demon with my own hands, and I'll find the Dead Sea Ancient Scroll to redeem myself!"
"Alright!"
Fang Yuan crossed his fingers and said, "However, you must care for your own safety as well. I'll assign two partners, Almon and Peter, to go with you! They'll help you a lot if you bring them along."
Being the first ever Evil Demon Hunter, Almon's skills naturally weren't inferior to the others. She had successfully ascended into a new domain.
In addition, her identity would be useful when dealing with Urias.
"Urias… is also a very melancholic person."
Fang Yuan at this moment was extremely well-versed with the full secret history of the Demon Hunters. "Perhaps… this is exactly what he wanted—to die on the hands of his own descendants…"
