Chapter 17: Chapter 7: Forest Demoness! The End of an Old Era (Part 3)
"Dinar depreciation, do Demon Hunters not have any money?" Duncan chuckled a bit.
As expected from the Empire.
A faint sound ca from the adjacent room, the witch’s mark moved, she stepped out of the door and stood in the hallway for several seconds. Then she paused for a mont in front of Duncan’s door and silently headed out of the inn.
"Should I follow and see?"
The witch had already left the inn, Duncan hesitated slightly but followed her.
From a map-view perspective, he didn’t need to be too close, as long as he stayed within the map view range, the witch shouldn’t be able to detect him.
Duncan controlled his character’s movents with his mind, quietly following from an observer’s perspective, maintaining a distance of about one hundred fifty ters.
In the barn, on the haystack, the gold-starred Demon Hunter flipped up.
"Is his perception that sharp?" Duncan beca instantly alert.
But from the map-view perspective, the Demon Hunter also stealthily crouched and followed, keeping a distance of about fifty ters, moving cautiously as if afraid of being discovered by Duncan.
It’s one following another.
The witch made no sound as she moved, drifting ghost-like, if Duncan hadn’t had his cheat activated, he wouldn’t have noticed at all. The Demon Hunter didn’t trace the witch but sensed Duncan’s footsteps, thus indirectly tracking the witch’s trail.
"What is she going to do?" Duncan wondered slightly.
The witch departed from the town, entering the dense forest; without the map-view, Duncan would have already lost her.
It wasn’t known how far they walked when moonlight poured down from the sky.
A tall oak tree appeared ahead.
In Duncan’s map-view, the witch had already removed her mask, revealing a face so beautiful it seed almost surreal, like a Succubus from legends captivating all beings. Her exposed skin on her neck and collarbones was so white it almost glimred, akin to porcelain; such skin was rare even among the most pampered noblewon of this era.
"Priest, save !"
At this mont, an unclear silhouette erged in the open woodland ahead, displaying a beautiful woman’s outline. Her features gradually beca clearer as she stepped out from the oak tree’s shadow, kneeling before the witch pleading, "Save !"
Hmm?!
Duncan’s pupils slightly dilated.
——Forest Demoness (Tree Spirit) [Neutral]!
In Greek mythology, Forest Demonesses, also known as Tree Spirits or Forest Goddesses, refer to lower status, young and beautiful Natural Spirits. They live on mountain tops (Oleander Mountain), by springs and rivers (Naiad River) or within forest trees (Driaden Forest), symbolizing the irrational and animalistic side of humanity. It’s said each oak tree inhabits a spirit that conveys oracles to humans through Forest Demonesses.
Another Supernatural Unit.
But she only has a one-star mark, presumably not very strong in combat.
The witch slightly frowned and shook her head, "I am not a Priest."
"The era of Priests is past."
As the Forest Demoness showed a hint of pity and despair, the witch softly asked, "What danger have you encountered?"
Upon hearing the witch’s words, the Forest Demoness seed to cling to the last shred of hope, her voice lancholic, "Witch Hunter!"
"The Church’s Witch Hunter."
"They intend to eradicate us completely!"
"A very powerful Witch Hunter has arrived here, he definitely won’t spare !"
"Master, save ."
Upon hearing the Forest Demoness’s words, Duncan instinctively glanced back at the Demon Hunter trailing behind, noticing that he had lost track after entering the forest and fell back one or two hundred ters, but seed proficient in tracking and gradually caught up.
However, he seems to have traced the wrong direction, bypassing Duncan, heading straight towards the witch.
