C2 – Hunters’ Method

Shire shivered and slashed wildly with his sword.

The greatest power of a devil was its ability to affect people’s minds. Every devil represented a certain concept. If one’s will was not strong enough, his mind would be invaded by the devils and would be tainted by their power, becoming their servants.

In other words, he would be “corrupted.”

Like what happened just now, when Shire saw the devil’s weapon, countless images of sharp blades rushed into his mind and inundated his thoughts.

Blades, slaughtering, blood… Countless dazzling images appeared in front of him. The reality was intertwined with illusion, his eyes becoming bloodshot. If he stayed in this illusion for too long, Shire could easily fall into depravity and turn into a devil himself.

In this moment of desperation, he had no choice but to chant the Devil Hunter’s incantation loudly. “Yafen Flame!”

The flame was not intended to attack the enemy, but to raise the hunter’s vigilance by scorching his soul with burning pain.

Shire felt an unprecedented pain in the depths of his heart. An invisible flame was burning within. When necessary, he could also pull the Yafen Flame out of his body.

His heart was ablaze. The rush of illusory blades in front of him disappeared, and his senses returned to reality.

Shire instinctively raised his hand to block the incoming devil weapon. The devilish blade collided with the sword in his hand, creating an ear-piercing shriek. The strong impact knocked Shire to the ground, and then the sharp blade flew upwards, adjusting its trajectory, preparing to kill Shire.

He breathed heavily and held his sword tightly.

‘Its attack is too strong. I can’t fight it head-on,’ Shire thought quickly.

Seeing that the red and black devil blade was about to slash down again, he struggled to get up.

“Stop the incantation already before it burns your soul up!” Etienne quickly rushed to Shire’s side, holding his long sword. When the flying blade swung down, he accurately stabbed. The tip of his sword hit the cursed weapon, successfully changing its trajectory.

The devilish weapon cut across the grass and then began to circle in the air again, looking for the next opportunity to attack.
