Chapter 451: Chapter 332: The Real Culprit Appears

"Heh~heh heh~"

Aaron made several unintelligible noises from his mouth, his hands also starting to tremble violently.

He was desperately trying to control his fear, hoping to be able to react in any way in such a situation.

"Bang! Bang bang bang!"

To the side, a series of gunshots suddenly rang out, as Bena had raised her hand and pulled the trigger.

Her status wasn’t much better, her hands shaking, lips quivering with fear and anger oscillating in her mind, making her entire body start to tremble involuntarily.

"Ahhhh! Damn monster! Give me back my mom and dad!"

It was a burst out of desperation, rather than dying amidst it.

At that moment, Bena’s eyes turned bloodshot, her face looking crazed as she yelled out loud and pressed the trigger several more times, emptying the remaining bullets from the handgun.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!"

A succession of gunshots echoed in the deserted police station, which under normal circumstances would have attracted the attention of others.

Unfortunately, today was Milk Festival, and everyone had gone to the central square of the small town to join the party, leaving practically no one around.

Not far away, the monster, having completed its transformation, staggered towards them with its eight unsettling legs.

Bena’s few shots clearly hadn’t all hit their mark, but at least four or five had struck the monster.

Facing the small handgun fire, the monster merely recoiled slightly and then continued to approach as if nothing had happened.

Seeing this, the sliver of hope that had briefly risen in Bena’s heart also plummeted to rock bottom.

What to do? The monster was indeed bulletproof, just as Aaron had said!

Her heart filled with immense anxiety, she momentarily lost her bearings in the panic but suddenly remembered Aaron who had come with her.

That’s right! Aaron is here! He’s a Demon Hunter! He must have a way!

With that thought, Bena couldn’t help but look at Aaron beside her with hopeful eyes and shouted:

"Aaron! Kill it fast! My bullets don’t work on it! Use your crossbow!"

Aaron, whose mind had previously been blank, suddenly regained his senses upon hearing Bena’s reminder and quickly lifted the crossbow he was holding, aiming and firing the silver arrowhead-tipped arrow without hesitation.

It must be said, although Aaron’s handiness and courage weren’t the best, his shooting talent was somewhat notable, executing a series of fluid motions and hitting the target instantly.

"Thud~"

A faint noise sounded as the arrow struck the monster.

However, to their despair, the arrow had only penetrated the front part of the monster’s body before becoming still.

Any thought of resistance, any power, was utterly non-existent, and the effect seemed even less than Bena’s previous bullets.

At least Bena’s attack had caused a few splashes of greenish-yellow blood to spray from the monster’s body, which, although it seemed ineffective, had at least breached its defenses.

"Bad news! The Holy Silver doesn’t affect it!"

Aaron too started to panic, having never heard of such a strange creature, let alone knowing what its weakness might be.

After being attacked several times by the two of them, the monster also seemed to have gotten angry, abandoning its previously sluggish behavior, its eight legs moved furiously as it charged at them.

"Thump!"

An impact sounded, and the door frame in front of them shook violently as the monster, having grown larger after transformation, got stuck in the door, unable to get out for a moment.

"Thump thump thump!"

The monster rammed against the door frame several more times, causing dust to whoosh down in a steady stream.

"This door won’t hold it off for long! Aaron, do you have any other ideas!?"

Bena stared intently at the monster in front of her and shouted loudly at Aaron beside her.

From her angle, she could vaguely make out what seemed to be two human corpses curled up inside the massive tank.

Aaron’s face had turned somewhat bitter; he had clearly seen the sight inside the tank, too, and it made him feel nauseous.

"I—I’ll try Holy Water, maybe that will work on it!"

He said this as he opened a small bottle in his hand and threw its contents from a distance.

There wasn’t much liquid to begin with, and such a wasteful throw meant that only a small portion landed on the monster.

However, the so-called Holy Water still had no effect, which dealt Aaron and Bena, who had been full of hope, another severe blow.

Aaron, in particular, felt incredibly disheartened after a series of failures, feeling utterly let down as someone who prided himself on being a Demon Hunter.

What had all his years of persistence been for, and of what use was everything he had learned? To think that in the end, he might be no better than a girl with a gun.

At that moment, Aaron began to doubt his faith for the first time. In this world, were there really such things as Demon Hunters...

"Boom!"

"Crack~"

The monster wasn’t going to give them time to think; it slammed against the door frame once again. This time, the entire frame splintered, and Aaron believed that one more hit like that and the monster would soon break through.

"Damn it!"

Aaron quickly opened his suitcase and, holding onto his last hope, hurled all the items inside straight at the monster.

Garlic, Sichuan peppercorns, and various other items flew through the air en masse, landing inside the belly of the beast as if thrown in a basketball game.

Realizing what was happening, Bena finally came to understand one thing: this so-called Demon Hunter really wasn’t reliable at all.

Seeing this scene, she even unconsciously entertained a strange notion in her mind: if this guy quit being a Demon Hunter and took up basketball instead, he might actually have a future...

Shaking her head to toss aside this untimely idea, Bena grabbed Aaron, who was about to throw his entire suitcase, and said anxiously:

"Aaron! Let’s go quickly! While that thing hasn’t come out yet! Let’s escape, and leave what’s here to the police!"

Upon hearing her words, Aaron felt a wave of shame wash over him.

How could this be, having finally found the real monster, only for him as a Demon Hunter to turn into a fake?

At that moment, he felt unworthy to face the girl standing beside him.

But now, it was too late to run.

"Bang!"

With a loud crash, the door frame finally gave way, tumbling to the ground, and the bound monster within opened its gaping maw and charged at them.

Faced with this, Aaron suddenly became eerily calm.

He gently touched the pocket watch he always wore over his heart and was suddenly reminded of a phrase Grandpa Barr once told him—

"A Demon Hunter should use courage as their sword, life as their shield, fearless of evil, unafraid of death, seeking no power, avoiding no light."

In this moment, he seemed to rediscover his once-held beliefs and a surge of courage burst forth from within him.

"Damn monster! Bena! Run! I’ll hold it off for you!"

Aaron roared, picked up his Dagger, and charged at the monster.
