Chapter 35: Chapter 0035: Demon Hunter (Seeking favorites, recommendations!)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Through Rod’s explanation and his own memories, Su Lu fully understood the power system of this world.

First-tier Transcendent, second-tier Elite, third-tier Expert, fourth-tier Master… Each promotion requires a specific ‘Profession’!

However, the profession system can be a real pitfall.

For instance… some profession paths only go as high as the third tier with no record of a fourth tier. Unless an occupational person themselves designs and figures out a suitable fourth-tier profession within their path, they cannot advance.

Unfortunately, such exploration often requires a large amount of resources, time, and energy, and might not even lead to success.

Rather than taking all that effort, it’s more cost-effective to take on a new profession.

Of course, even then, you would still fall drastically behind and might stay stuck at that stage for the rest of your life.

‘But for me… Even if I choose the wrong profession, it doesn’t matter. As long as I have enough experience, perhaps I can force it upward?’

According to Rod, taking up the [Apprentice] profession requires a lot of learning under a mentor, while becoming a [Soldier] demands rigorous training.

But Su Lu didn’t need to do any of that. As long as he had enough experience points, he could directly assume the profession!!

‘This is my greatest advantage… Of course, I can also choose not to use experience points and learn like a regular person… And yet, even with the property bar, I must meet some hard requirements – such as for the [Creation of Dead Princess]. If the properties and professions do not meet the standard, the skill cannot be improved. The requirement for taking office will be even more strict than learning a skill!’

At that moment, he heard Rod continue, “Any profession system that can reach the master level can be called a ‘heritage’, which includes a complete four-tier profession, as well as their respective training, potions, rituals, and induction information. It is the foundation of many transcendent families and institutions, churches and secret societies! Our Pottery family possesses the heritage of the Demon Hunter!”

From his voice, Su Lu seemed to hear ‘pride’, but also a lot of pain.

“Demon Hunter heritage? I only learned some Demon Hunting Knowledge!” he said truthfully.

“You left home too young, immature mentally, unable to bear the power of the ritual. The timing was also not right, dawn had not come, and your father didn’t say much…

Rod took a deep breath: “Our family’s profession system, from the first-tier

[Pact Demonist], to the second-tier [Demon Hunter], to the third-tier [Demon Hunting Expert] and fourth-tier [Demon Hunting Master], is a complete profession system. It can even ascend further, although the subsequent road is held in the hands of the Goddess Church…”

“Demon Hunter profession, is our family really hunting… demons?!” Su Lu widened his eyes.

Rod’s voice was suddenly filled with profound sadness and despair: “What do you think… is a demon? It’s just a general term, a label we mortals put on it based on our own imagination. Its true name is unknown to anyone. Perhaps, just chanting its true name once will result in complete corruption, or even… seeing its back could lead to your death… Wherever it passes, the earth will crack, rivers will dry up, and the void will leave a permanent mark! Those who catch its attention will sink into the deepest despair!”

“This description… is very idealistic!” Su Lu understood.

The ‘demon’ of this world is not at all the same as the demon he had heard of in his previous life.

The other party is more metaphysical, an indescribable existence. Even from Rod’s description, it seems like a god! An indescribable god of the transcendent world!

“Exactly! The demon is the incarnation of chaos and disorder. It dwells in the abyss, possessing an incredible terror. It will neither rejoice because you believe in it, nor will it send disaster because you curse it. It will only respond

to rituals rrom Lime to ume accoramg to Its own prererences, granung power. That power filled with evil chaos will inevitably lead to terrifying consequences. ”

‘This… sounds a lot like certain undescribable evil gods in my previous life, who don’t care about faith or anything else. They just grant evil power and watch believers destroy themselves…’

Su Lu thought to himself.

Rod continued, “The influence of demons persists in this world, bringing fear and despair… We are not fighting against them, but hunting those ‘favored ones’ who have been granted its power, or to say – the polluted by the abyss power! This struggle has been going on since the unrecorded Dark Era. The first generation of Demon Hunters discovered that we mortals are as insignificant as ants before demons. Demons can never be defeated or killed!

However… you can fight the favored ones of the demons with the power of the demons! This is the origin of the [Demon Hunter] profession!”

“Are we using the power of demons to fight against the favored ones of the demons?!”

Su Lu widened his eyes: “Would it agree? Besides… even if it does, we will never be able to achieve our destiny to eliminate the real demons.”

If a certain generation of Demon Hunter gets to the presence of the demon itself, then what will happen? Defeating me with the power I’ve given you? Would the demon retort?

His thoughts were running wild – what kind of scene would that be?

“I’ve told you…don’t try to guess the mindset of a demon with a mortal’s mindset. Perhaps our struggle, our strive, is just a game in its eyes!” Rod laughed bitterly, his expression turning resolute, “But as long as we can eliminate those favored ones of the demons from the world, getting rid of the demon’s interference with this world, that’s the ultimate goal of us Demon Hunters!”

“Alright…”

Su Lu was a little speechless. There seemed to be no hope for the Demon Hunter profession.

“To become a [Demon Hunter], you need a firm and tenacious mind, as well as unwavering faith. Otherwise, you are very likely to fall!” Rod warned, “Even though I’ve become a [Demon Hunter], I don’t recommend you walking in my footsteps!”

“Falling?”

A chill ran down Su Lu’s spine.

“Unlike the ‘large tree’ professions of [Soldier] and [Apprentice], [Pact Demonist] only branches off into two pathways, one is [Demon Hunter], and the other is [Fallen].”

Rod said, “Regardless if it’s [Demon Hunter] or [Fallen], the first-tier profession for both is [Pact Demonist], which stands for those who have made a pact with a demon! To become a [Pact Demonist], you have to go through the ‘Stare at the Abyss’ ritual! As you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes back into you. Only after this step, falling into the eyes of the abyss can a [Pact Demonist] possess a sliver of the demon’s power… Of course, this is not from a real demon, or rather, it’s diluted by a million times, can only be called the power of the abyss, but it’s enough for ordinary people to transcend!”

“After becoming a [Pact Demonist], you could either remain steadfast in your faith and use the demon’s power in a limited way to become a Demon Hunter this path is extremely dangerous, and it gets riskier as you progress. Hence, after the fourth tier, we need the help of other faiths… Historically, the Goddess of Light was the first to extend an olive branch to the Demon Hunter group!”

“The others more or less idolize the demons and become increasingly demon-like, walking farther and farther on the inhuman path. That dark path is also a professional level…. It is said that the initial plan came from the monsters polluted by the abyss!”
