I'm Not the Hands of the Devil

Chapter 9: I Am Not the Feet of the Devil

“Haa.. Haa..”.

Taking a deep breath, Joseph staggered as he held the wall to shore up and finally calmed himself down thanks to the cold wind and rain that hit him.

The path in the surrounding area was already inundated with water and there was no one else around. Continuous storm warnings have resulted in one-tenth of the ordinary people of the city of Norzin evacuating to safe areas.

23rd Avenue will probably be an empty street and this is partly due to the operation and secret direction of the Secret Rite Tower.

All because these foolish hunters had brought the Magic Ovum Mirror to Norzin City. Now that they have an internal conflict, the Magic Ovum Mirror is gone and this leaves the citizens of Norzin uneasy.

Perhaps in the near future, an unknown dream beast might explode from the crack of the Dream Realm, carrying blood and fire.

The throbbing pain in Joseph's head gradually subsided and the whispers in his ears stopped. Joseph looked at his hand and grimaced.

In addition to losing his arm and the many deep wounds he had sustained, there was a more important reason for Joseph's resignation from the Radiant Knights.

He is a demon sword wielder, Candela. Due to the madness and death of its first owner, this strange ancient sword had a curse to drive people crazy. Only a strong and honest knight with perfect spirit and will could master this curse.

In the past, Joseph was a very powerful knight. But now, fraught with age and disability, he has since lost that right.

With Candela's next successor yet to be discovered, Joseph could only continue to suffer the backlash from this demonic sword.

Late at night, Joseph would always see a huge shadow hovering within the city and hear Candela's crazy mutterings. This vision intensified recently, leaving Joseph deeply tormented.

In front of a towering and abandoned church stood Ji Zhixiu, with a staff in hand. His black jacket fluttered in the wind as he stared at the flames rising through the round glass windows of the church.

Sorrowful cries and screams came from inside as the glass windows shattered in succession. Aether fluctuated chaotically in this bloody scene.

Shards of glittering glass, mixed with innards and fresh blood sprayed like vines onto the church walls. The corpses were piled up in piles, quickly becoming carbon and turning into ash.

Behind Ji Zhixiu was his most loyal subordinate until now. Kaiyi, Marcus and Ruen.

As the second leader of the hunter group “White Wolf”, Ji Zhixie's subordinates numbered more than these three people. However, he had suffered this unforgivable betrayal and other than the three people who surrendered, the remaining ones were already corpses.

In the larval state before it develops, the Magic Ovum Mirror has the ability to deceive a person, instilling vile thoughts to covet it.

Ever since the first person with a vague assessment appeared, the situation had become irreversible. Now, the Norzin rain stop has become the battleground of the hunters.

Kaiyi and Marcus were already his subordinates, as well as being his father's followers. Their consciousness had been bound by the white witch sigil of her family, thus allowing them to maintain their mental clarity against the erosion of the Magic Ovum Mirror.

On the other hand, Ruen had just given up recently and allowed herself to be stamped with sigils willingly. In the group of hunters “White Wolves”, he was the subordinate of the first leader, Heris.

The reason for giving up is simple. He had witnessed cruel methods, cruel revenge and piles of corpses after the state of “Mutation Beast” Ji Zhixiu.

“Nona, we have made sure that the Magic Ovum Mirror is in Heris' hands. He had already turned into a crazy maniac and committed a massacre within the group of hunters after seizing the mirror, ” said Kaiyi softly.

By the nickname “Black” Rose, Kaiyi is a tall, slender woman with gorgeous features. Her figure features a feminine blouse, tights and high-cut boots. Coupled with a row of accessories on the earlobe and a thick black lip gloss, she looked like a fashionable teenager in general.

However, the sword tooth saw in his hand, still gleaming with blood begged to be different. He is a hunter who hunts dream animals and is also a cold-blooded killer.

He observed the chapel with a worried look. “Heris has joined the third leader Kaji. I fear we lack strength and this attack may end in failure.”

Marcus nodded and chimed in, “Heris strong. He is the closest to the rank of Pandemonium among us White Wolves. Kaji is a bit weaker, but almost half of the hunters in the organization are trained by him. Even many people who thought of defecting because of the madness of Heris, there were still many who followed them. Our chances of winning are small.”

Ruen looked at Ji Zhixiu fearfully before showing a flattering smile. “Although the leader...no, the Heris faction is strong, our boss is not bad either! He is only close to Pandemonium rank but our boss is the real one! As long as the beast mutation was used, even Heris and Kaji would fall by his sword!”

Of course, it would be best if one day he could obtain a method to control that dirty blood.

Sneeze in!

Ji Zhixiu flicked his staff, revealing a sharp sword. “Hunters never back down. Come on, let's go in. This will be the last battle.”

This abandoned church was built by the Church of Pestilence. The Church of Pestilence was once the highest trust in Azir, but when Truth Union rose quickly and seized its position, many of their chapels were abandoned.

The battle in the church reached its conclusion and the remains of hunters were scattered everywhere. Ji Zhixiu threw away the last person who blocked him and stepped into the main hall.

Under the roof of the chapel, illuminated by the light that pierced through the seven-colored stained glass was the third leader of the White Wolf, Kaji. He was a tall man, wearing a black priest robe and had a long scythe strapped to his back. His head was down, as if he were praying.

Rainwater dripped through the long-neglected ceiling, covering the floor with a puddle of water.

“Where is Heris?” ask Markus.

“Gak...” Kaji's head moved slightly and he let out a stuttering sound.

“There is something wrong!” Ji Zhixiu's eyes narrowed as she rushed forward and pushed the man's shoulder.

Kaji's head was tilted back, revealing his wounded face and a large wound on his neck that was covered in blood.

Everyone gasp. The huge scythe was not strapped to his back but had pierced through his body, instead nailing him to the floorboard.

“Injection! Hurly-hurry!” Ji Zhixiu shouted.

“Ya!” Marcus hurriedly handed over an injection of dirty blood. Ji Zhixiu grabbed it, then thrust it into Kaji's heart and injected it all.

A large amount of dirty blood came into effect at once as Kaji's neck wound began to wriggle and shrink. At the same time, his eyeballs spun wildly before finally turning into terrifying pupils.

“Ugh urgh ..”

Kaiji screams in pain as his teeth and nails grow long and hair grows rapidly all over his body

“My jawab! Where's Heris! Did he go with the Magic Ovum Mirror?!” Ji Zhixiu looked into his eyes and shouted.

Only

Kaji nodded then threw his head back, laughing out loud. “He will be down..”.

His eyes then loosened and did not move.

The rough fur that had been lifted from his heart once again reentered, carrying the last remnants of his life.

“Fuck!” Ji Zhixiu clenched his fists against the wall, staring at the messy main hall.

“Nona, how about we go see Mr Haywood? He couldn't possibly refuse to provide help because he was supported by the family, ”saran Marcus.

“Not needed. You guys continue the search.” Ji Zhixiu took a deep deep breath. “Rin, come with me.”

Ruen was a little surprised and asked worriedly, “Where ... to where?”

“The 23rd Way.”
