In the year 924 of the Ingvergian calendar.
The warm sunshine falls, and the cool breeze blows from the shade of the trees, accompanied by the rustling sound of leaves. Everything in front of you shows a rare beauty.
042 put away the swinging sword and saluted the old man in front of him.
"How does your body feel? 042."
After a simple greeting, Lorenzo Medici asked about 042's recent situation. The 042 in front of him was already an adult, but every time Lorenzo Medici saw his somewhat innocent face, he always regarded him as a young child.
In fact, it’s almost the same. In the face of his long years, most people are just children in his eyes.
"fine… "
042 shook hands and said this. He had heard these things from the priests. After receiving the [Baptism of God's Blessing], 042 had the Silver Binding Plug and Secret Blood implanted. Although the process was a bit painful, fortunately 042 survived and became one of the lucky few.
"Mystic Blood and Silver Bound Bolt are both very stable, and I have control over my power..." 042 said, a little confused, "But I still can't use my power... I don't even know which faction of demon hunter I am."
"This is normal. After all, the alchemical matrix in your body is not yet perfect, and it is impossible to stimulate power from the secret blood." The old man comforted.
"How long will it take me?"
042 was not surprised by this answer, as he had already learned most of the knowledge about demon hunters before this.
The extraordinary authority comes from the secret blood in the body. Under the influence of the engraved alchemical matrix, the power will be directed out from the forbidden blood.
This process will have a great corrosive effect on the demon hunter himself. Coupled with the technical limitations of the alchemical matrix, each demon hunter can only be guided to obtain one power. Multiple powers cannot exist in the same demon hunter at the same time. Even if the technology of the alchemical matrix can solve it, multiple erosions will instantly transform the demon hunter into a terrible demon.
"Today... It's a special day." The old man replied with a smile.
042 was slightly stunned. Ever since he was transferred away from the Demon Hunter Cult by the old man in front of him two years ago, everything about him has been taken care of by the old man in front of him, from training to secret blood implantation. 042 was manipulated like a doll. Until now, he himself didn't know what faction of demon hunter he would become.
But after hearing the old man's answer, 042 was somewhat happy. The alchemical matrix in his body was not perfect. Only after those defects were completed, he would gain power and become a true demon hunter.
"But we still need some time, we need to wait a while... Come with me 042, you don't need to train today."
The old man gestured to 042, then turned and walked towards the depths of the mansion. 042 followed behind him and was swallowed by the huge building.
This retirement mansion is not as simple as it seems. After passing through the hidden secret passage, you will arrive at a huge underground space. 042 has spent most of his time in the past two years here, fighting with captured demons and training.
But today, the usually empty and cold underground was filled with many people. They wore religious robes and wore long thin swords around their waists. 042 remembered that kind of weapon. They called it a spike sword, which was the weapon of the demon hunter.
