Demon Hunter and His Cabin
Chapter 647 - Chapter 647 Chapter 556 Alder Sword Seal_2

Chapter 647: Chapter 556: Alder Sword Seal_2 Chapter 647: Chapter 556: Alder Sword Seal_2 That kind of power, where a single hair can move the whole body, transmitted layer by layer.

His eyes became hollow, and with his breathing, he seemed to connect with some force in the void, then expanding and contracting with each breath.

“Snap snap snap!”

“Crackle!”

Higurashi Chika had been standing not far behind Roger, but she quickly sensed something was amiss.

There was a suppressed energy near Roger, hidden and condensed, and she swiftly moved back, soon noticing the space around Roger enveloped by that strange force.

“What’s happening?”

Higurashi Chika could discern not the slightest fluctuation of Spiritual Power emanating from Roger, it was a completely foreign energy that she didn’t understand.

Obscure yet pure.

Although unclear about what was happening to Roger, Higurashi Chika knew that he must be in a strange state.

She turned and increased her distance, not wanting to disturb Roger, or anything else to interfere with him.

Fortunately, this place was rarely trodden, and the Sword Pavilion showed no signs of anyone wandering at random.

As time ticked by, the oppressive thunder within the clouds vanished, and suddenly Higurashi Chika noticed a figure floating mid-air, rushing toward her and Roger from up the mountain.

The figure moved swiftly, arriving in front of the mountain in just a dozen breaths.

The figure that appeared was an extremely beautiful woman with rare short silver-white hair, wearing a loose blue Hunting Garb.

The hem of her garb hung down, lifting as she flew, combined with her cold demeanor, she resembled an elf descending from Snow Mountain.

More importantly, there was a power emanating from her that completely overrode her own, a pressure that was superior in strength.

Having made more acquaintances recently, Higurashi Chika could roughly determine the level of the other’s strength.

Fourth Tier…

Knowing well the futility of resistance, Higurashi Chika still stepped forward without a thought, positioning herself in the woman’s path.

“Please stop.”

Higurashi Chika spoke.

The strange fluctuations around Roger had almost vanished, but clearly, he hadn’t yet emerged from that state.

Higurashi Chika didn’t want Roger to be disturbed at this moment.

“A Second Tier?”

“Quite rare indeed.”

The woman’s eyes did not show any disdain, but her gaze towards Higurashi Chika was like that one would give a stone buried in the snow.

Indifferent.

But then her eyes fell on Roger who was not too far away, and looking back at Higurashi Chika, her eyes softened inexplicably.

“I’m here for the man behind you.”

Just a simple sentence exerted a great pressure on Higurashi Chika, her pale face flushed abnormally red, and under the woman’s oppression, she couldn’t even utter a word.

Even her body seemed to no longer belong to her, as the surrounding Spiritual Power enveloped her.

“Senka.”

At that moment, Roger suddenly turned around, his hollow gaze returning to normal, and with his voice, the restrictive power abruptly disintegrated, and Higurashi Chika regained her composure.

She gasped for air, her hands clenched tightly into fists.

Roger walked over to Higurashi Chika, patting her shoulder with a gentle influx of Spiritual Power, then he looked at the woman floating mid-air.

“It would be better to come to me with any issue, there’s no need to trouble her,” Roger said.

“I believe you’re aware that I’ve been holding back,” the woman answered indifferently.

“I know, and that’s why we can continue this conversation,”

Roger withdrew his hand and stood in front of Higurashi Chika, who silently lowered her head, looking at the broad back in front of her.

“What arrogance!”

The silver-haired woman sneered, “I can’t see what Yatagarasu Kensumi sees in you,” she said with some discontent.

“I think you’ve forgotten what you promised Yatagarasu Kensumi.”

“Sorry, I was in a critical phase of my practice, and only just now fully assimilated the gains from this period,”

Roger admitted his mistake without any excuses.

The silver-haired woman slightly startled; in her memory, it was rare for a Cultivator to so readily acknowledge their error.

Her expression softened slightly, and she didn’t dwell on this issue, but nodded at Roger instead, “Come with me, we’ll talk as we walk.”

Roger exchanged a glance with Higurashi Chika and then followed her.

The silver-haired woman voluntarily lowered her levitation height to walk side by side with Roger.

“My name is Yuuki Nao.”

“Roger.”

After hearing Roger’s name, Yuuki Nao couldn’t help but take a second look at him, but she didn’t say much and continued:

“Kensumi is obsessed with his training, leaving me to take care of many things. As one of the strongest among the four Sword Pavilions, we have many smaller Factions dependent on us.”

“The Sword Master recently assigned a new task, hoping that Kensumi would inspect a few Factions. However, Kensumi has always had little interest in such matters, so he delegated the task to us to handle in his stead.”

Yuuki Nao explained.

“Just the two of us?”

Roger asked.

“What exactly is the task?”

“To make contact and build as good a relationship as possible with the inheritors of the Factions.”

Yuuki Nao answered, and seeing the expression on her face, Roger immediately understood something.

Perhaps this was Sword Master Cold Crow’s way of arranging something for his son, although it was clear that Yatagarasu Kensumi had no interest in such trivial matters, focusing all his attention on training.

Perhaps in his heart, surpassing his father as soon as possible was what mattered most.

“There’s one more thing.”

A hint of reluctance crossed Yuuki Nao’s face, “Kensumi said that you’ll take the lead and I’ll assist you.”

“In fact, we just need to go through the motions.”

“Alright,” Roger nodded.

“When do we leave?”

Having already benefited from Yatagarasu Kensumi and with no tricky matters to solve, Roger naturally had no reason to refuse.

“We leave tomorrow morning, I’ll come for you.”

After agreeing on details of the trip, the two parted ways, and watching Yuuki Nao’s retreating figure, Roger fell into thought.

Everything seemed normal, but for some reason, he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was amiss.

At that moment, Higurashi Chika approached from behind, and seeing the glint of excitement in the girl’s eyes, Roger smiled.

“Come with me, before we leave, I’ll teach you how to consolidate your Guardian Spirit.”

Higurashi Chika looked up, her eyes bursting with surprise.

In the room, Roger and Higurashi Chika sat facing each other.

Roger did not speak, but silently checked the hints provided on the notice board.

[Alder Sword Seal – Mind Movement Ruins]

A perfect combination of the Alder Dharma Seal and swordsmanship, where thought leads to creation.

Illuminating the Dharma Seal with Mental Nodes, supplemented by the Secret Technique of swordsmanship, creates an area with a diameter of about 10 meters filled with Alder Dharma Seal.

Within this area, every movement and attack of a Demon Hunter activates the energy of the Dharma Seal, incorporating the accumulated Sword Momentum into the cycle of power.

[Levitation] With the power of the Dharma Seal, within the designated range, the Demon Hunter moves as if on level ground, also inhibiting the opponent’s flying abilities.

[Flying Sword] Accumulating enough Sword Seal energy can implode the energy of the entire space, releasing the energy which, after guidance, compresses before exploding outward.

It has powerful destructive and rending capabilities!

Compared to the defensively focused Quinn Dharma Seal, the Alder Sword Seal is made purely for offense. Moreover, due to the special properties of the Alder Dharma Seal, activating this Sword Seal also gives Roger a certain degree of aerial capability.

Before this, it had always been his weakness.

Now, even without the full functionality of the Alder Sword Seal, Roger could still use Spiritual Power for low-altitude movement and jumps.

However, compared to other Guardian Spirits with similar abilities, he was naturally not as agile, but as long as Roger got the chance to close in, the instant release of the Alder Sword Seal would lock down the entire space.

The enemy’s attacks and movements would be affected and suppressed by the explosive force, while Roger would gain enhancements, finally releasing the energy through a Flying Sword once it had accumulated to its peak.

It was far stronger than the defensive Quinn Sword Seal.

What’s more, obtaining the Alder Sword Seal replenished the Core Sword Seal left vacant in the inheritance of the Cat Fraction.

With a thought, the Alder Sword Seal merged into the Inheritance Core of the Cat Fraction.

Then something wonderful happened.
