Chapter 187: Chapter 182: Legend Reappears Chapter 187: Chapter 182: Legend Reappears “Hey, did you see the fight last night? What an eye-opener! The legendary Demon Hunter knight actually made an appearance.”

“Yeah, I saw. But I heard that the monster, as terrifying as a demon, was our lord, Marquis Mendoza, transformed. Is this news true?”

“That’s what the whole city of Valiant is saying, so it should be true.”

“I can’t believe it. Such an elegant and noble lord, his true form is such a horrifying monster.”

“Elegant and noble my ass, it’s a facade, Mendoza is a demon, a monster that feeds on human flesh and swallows souls.”

“True, thank god the legendary Demon Hunter emerged and saw through his disguise, otherwise, we don’t know how many people in Valiant would die every day.”

“So, all those people missing from Valiant were eaten by demon Mendoza?”

“Definitely! In his eyes, Valiant is probably just a breeding ground, and we are the food he’s raising. A while back, my neighbor’s cousin’s son disappeared, I think he was taken to the castle and eaten.”

“Right, watch what you say. I heard that inside Mendoza’s castle, those guards and maids, all turned into monsters. During the battle last night, the Demon Hunter had no time to deal with them, so many of them escaped and are now hiding in the city. If they hear what you say, they might target you, and then, ha-ha.”

“Hiss! Can you not say something this scary?”

“What are you scared of! The Demon Hunter is still here, and he is staying in Valiant right now. As long as he is here, I don’t believe those demon beasts dare to show themselves.”

“Indeed, as long as the Demon Hunter is here, we can sleep safe and sound and don’t worry about those demonic beasts. The ones to worry about should be those monsters, better not get discovered by the Demon Hunter.”

“By the way, that knight who rode something like a unicorn and wore golden armor last night, was he really the legendary Demon Hunter? I thought Demon Hunters only existed in minstrel stories. How could they actually appear?”

“Absolutely a Demon Hunter, golden armor, beast-shaped helmet, and battle abilities far surpassing those of demon beasts, everything is exactly the same as the Demon Hunter described in stories.”

“Who knows if someone is impersonating, a knight that has been missing for so long.”

“What the hell, what did you say?”

“Oi, watch how you talk, no fighting!”

“Demon Hunters absolutely exist, they never disappeared, they are the heroes who have been silently protecting the human race, how could they go extinct.”

…

Muria, who was following the brown-haired middle-aged man, stopped and looked at a red-faced and choked young man who was arguing with others. He was the one who was about to fight just because someone questioned the existence of the Demon Hunters earlier.

“Hey kid, why did you stop moving?” The middle-aged man who was leading the way noticed Muria had stopped and immediately ran over to him, following his gaze towards a group of people discussing the Demon Hunter.

“Did you see the fight last night?”

“It was too far away.” The middle-aged man showed a hint of embarrassment. In fact, hearing the horrendous noise of the battle that sounded like a storm, he had been hiding under the bed all the time and didn’t dare to go out to watch.

“I heard that it was a Demon Hunter who killed Marquis Mendoza?”

“That’s what they say, but who knows if it’s real.” The middle-aged man laughed,” I grew up listening to stories about Demon Hunters, but I’ve only heard about their existence in the stories of minstrels. It’s all just legends.

This is the first time I’m hearing about real-life Demon Hunters, and it even happened in the city where I live.”

“You don’t believe in the existence of Demon Hunters?”

“Knights who hunt all monsters that harm humans, protectors of the human race, according to the stories, even Red Dragons run away when they see a Demon Hunter, I don’t believe such beings exist.

Alright, let’s not talk about this, little brother, I will take you there. We’re almost there.”

After saying these words, the middle-aged man stopped talking and urged Muria to continue following him.

“You lead the way!” Muria continued following the middle-aged man in silence.

Looking at him leading himself into a small alley with twists and turns, during this time, Muria remained silent, didn’t say a word. He just looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, who was looking increasingly smug and excited.

“We’re here!” In a dark alley, the middle-aged man turned around with a smug face and said to Muria, “Kid, take off all your armor. Be obedient and do not think about resisting.”

“This is not the ruins of Mendoza’s castle, you, deceived me.” Muria expressionlessly looked at the middle-aged man.

“So what if I lied to you?” The kind smile on his face disappeared, revealing a greedy and rather ugly expression, the middle-aged man laughed triumphantly, “Kid, let me teach you something, do not easily believe strangers.

Sigh, you rich kids are always too curious and self-righteous. Do you really think the world revolves around you?”

Muria turned his head and saw two muscular men approaching from behind, blocking the only exit of the alley.

“You want to rob me?” Muria stared at the middle-aged man in a way that made him seem like an idiot. He didn’t come riding a giant wolf, but he didn’t take off his armor.

This armor set is one of the few he brought away from the Golden Dragon’s Crystal Castle. It is one of the rare few pieces that don’t contain any legendary metal, so he didn’t throw it into the Eternal Flame.

The reason why he took it, is because this set of armor looks distinctly stylish and cool, so Muria collected it and wore it.

Compared to his custom armor, the Saintly Imperial Abyss, this set is rubbish, but in the human kingdom, it is absolute top-quality. Even if used as a family heirloom by some noble families, it is more than enough. Honestly, wearing this set of armor, Muria didn’t think anyone would dare to mess with him.

“Don’t look at me like that, kid.” The middle-aged man was still grinning, “I know you are someone important, you might be the scion of a big businessman, or an aristocratic child, otherwise how could you wear such a good-looking armor?

But who let you sneak out, I have been observing, there is no one hiding and protecting you nearby.”

Summer insects aren’t capable of understanding ice, or maybe, greed has blinded his eyes. Muria couldn’t be bothered to continue the conversation, the person in front of him was of too low a level and didn’t even know the grade of the armor he was wearing.

He only knew that the armor was very precious, then saw his youthful appearance, and thus targeted him, treating him as a rich kid who sneaked out of his house.
