The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 233 Demon Hunter

Wizard castle.

The witches digested what they had gained from the battle.

The ones who gained the most were naturally Amy and Lena, both of whom are now first-ring wizard level.

David later reinforced the seal of the passage to the Ice Hell.

After this heavy blow to the demons of the Ice Hell, the passage has shrunk, and it will be difficult for the demons of the Ice Hell to pass through in the future.

In this way, the threat of the demonic tide in the Far North was finally temporarily lifted.

In addition to the threat from the sea tribe which had already been completely resolved, the only remaining threat from the demonic tide in the Bright Continent was the Black Forest.

However, the strength of wizards and knights in the entire Bright Continent is increasing very rapidly now.

Even if a ninth-level monster appeared in the Black Forest, it would be difficult for it to pose a threat to the Bright Continent.

The blood of these extraordinary monsters has become the main material for refining blood spring potions, continuously helping the knights to improve their strength.

After David dealt with everything, he began his own practice.

During this process, he would often travel to the wizarding world to collect various resources.

Just as he had guessed, as the wizarding world entered war mode, the prices of various resources were skyrocketing.

Fortunately, David now relies mainly on the power of the system to improve his strength.

Inside the castle.

David is practicing dual cultivation with Amy and Reina.

Try to upgrade the Ice Element Mark and Snow Demon Mark to the second ring.

Because the soul of the snow demon is connected to the Ice Hell, David has kept it in the Continent of Light for some time.

Inside the room, three people held hands and merged their thoughts together.

"I will mobilize the remaining elemental forces around us. You only need to focus on the mark in your respective souls."

David said as he began to draw complex and beautiful patterns in the air. Those patterns flickered and moved like stars, gradually absorbing elements from the nearby air.

"Ok, I see!"

Amy responded, closing her eyes and focusing all her attention on her ice elemental mark.

As her mind went deeper, she could feel the power flowing warmly and kindly like a trickle of water, once again resonating with the icy energy she had absorbed before.

Reina was also fully focused. She took a deep breath and entered a meditative state.

The soul of the snow demon began to work, and along with the elegance and tenacity deep in her heart, those elves as light and fluttering as snowflakes emanated from her body.

This barrier protects her while also allowing her to better guide external energy into her body.

"Do you feel it? Our souls are merging!" David laughed.

Amy blushed and nodded. She was also immersed in the feeling and whispered, "I want more."

David chuckled and continued practicing with Amy.

After he finished, Lena immediately sat on it and took turns practicing, constantly improving the strength of her talent mark.

After a long period of practice, David finally upgraded both the Ice Element Mark and the Snow Demon Soul to the second ring, and his mental power was further improved with the feedback from the system.

Wizarding World.

The news of the expeditionary force's disastrous defeat spread quietly in a small circle.

David naturally received the news as well.

Not long after, Ye Zi from the Wizarding Union brought back shocking information.

The expeditionary force encountered an ambush by demons and devils from the ice hell in the ice world.

The wizards' powers are much less effective in extremely cold environments, while the creatures of the Ice Hell show amazing strength and cold resistance.

The expeditionary force suffered heavy losses, with only a few survivors escaping back to the wizarding world.

The Wizarding Union then held an emergency meeting and decided to take unprecedented measures to protect the safety of the wizarding world in the face of the impending threat.

The Alliance issued a call for conscription shortly afterwards, requiring all wizards, regardless of rank, to prepare for the coming war.

The atmosphere in the wizarding world became tense and heavy. The fortifications of various cities began to be built at a rapid pace, and wizards began to gather in preparation for the upcoming battle.

After receiving the call-up order, David realized that the situation was more serious than he had expected.

He didn't expect that his guess was completely correct.

The Bright Continent is just a stepping stone to the Ice Hell, and the same is true for the Ice World.

Now it is not only his interest, but also a matter of survival for the entire wizarding world. The will of the Ice Hell is to turn all the worlds into Ice Hell!

After thinking about it for a while, David did not back down. Instead, he felt that this would be an opportunity to improve his strength. Of course, he had to make some preparations before that.

The most important step, of course, was to leave a backup plan, for which he had just acquired a blood resurrection technique from the blood wizard's heritage.

As long as a blood resurrection ritual is performed using his soul and blood, if he dies within a certain period of time, he can be resurrected.

After completing everything, David left all the witches in the Continent of Light and continued to rely on the collected resources to improve their strength.

The magic power in the Bright Continent is also very strong now. Coupled with the large amount of resources and the fact that the Bright Continent can now break through one link, it is perfect for witches to improve their strength.

Afterwards, David went to the Wizarding Union recruitment office to sign up.

In recent times, with the disastrous defeat of the expeditionary force and the approaching threat of the Ice Hell, turmoil has begun to appear within the wizarding world.

Some wizards, out of disappointment with the Wizarding Union and despair of survival, turned to believe in the demons of hell and became hell wizards.

These are secret societies of Hell wizards who believe that by making deals with the devil they can gain greater power to protect themselves from impending disasters.

These Hell wizards began to create chaos within the wizarding world, destroying the Alliance's defenses and spreading the seeds of panic and distrust.

Mysterious fires broke out in some cities and important warehouses of supplies were looted.

Even powerful wizards from the Wizarding Union were assassinated at night, leaving behind the demonic runes unique to Hell Wizards.

The power of these Hell wizards comes from the blessing of demons. They can summon low-level demons to assist in combat and use dark magic to corrupt the will of the enemy. Their appearance makes the already tense wizard world even more chaotic. The conscription order of the Alliance makes some wizards dissatisfied. They think that this is the Alliance sacrificing the lives of ordinary wizards in order to consolidate power.

David knew that if the actions of the Hell Wizards were not stopped in time, the internal conflicts in the wizarding world would be magnified and the Wizarding Alliance would definitely be defeated.

In order to stop these Hell wizards, the Wizarding Union secretly trained a demon hunting team to specifically detect and combat Hell wizards.

This special operations team is equipped with special magic props. They have the ability to track the devil's aura and can quickly locate the position of hell wizards in the wizarding world.

And David, a second-ring wizard, was also selected.

The action team usually operates at night. They sneak into the secret gathering places of the Hell Wizards as quietly as ghosts and kill all those Hell Wizards who create chaos.

During this process, David can also use the saplings of the ancient tree of life to continuously devour the opponent's life energy and soul, and his strength can also be steadily improved.

Cape Tower, this ancient fortress standing on the edge of the wizarding world, has always been an important stronghold of the Wizarding Alliance.

However, with the rise of the Hell Wizards, this tower has become their coveted target.

Late at night that day, the wizards of Hell launched a surprise attack. They summoned hordes of low-level demons, which poured towards the Cape Tower like a tide.

The sky was covered by the wings of demons, and the ground echoed with the roars of demons and the sounds of hell wizards chanting spells.

The demon hunting team of the Wizarding Union responded quickly and rushed to the Cape Tower.

David is a member of the Cape Haiwang Wizard Alliance in the Endless Sea. His mission has always been to kill the hell wizards in this sea area.

As a member of the demon hunting team, David's mission is to destroy the summoning ritual of the hell wizard and prevent more demons from being summoned into this world.

The battle was extremely brutal.

On the walls of the cape tower, wizards cast all kinds of defensive and offensive magic. Fireballs, ice arrows, and lightning intertwined into deadly webs, reaping the lives of demons.

However, the dark magic of the Hell Wizards was equally powerful. The corrosive mist and curse power they released weakened the wizards' defenses, causing the battle to a stalemate.

David shuttled through the battlefield, his figure as elusive as a ghost.

He used the power of the sapling of the ancient tree of life to continuously absorb the life energy and souls of the defeated demons and hell wizards.

Every time he absorbed, he felt his strength grow, but the key to this battle was not individual strength, but teamwork.

The power of the hell wizards is indeed strong. After receiving the blessing from hell, their strength can be improved on the original basis!
This also led to the appearance of a large number of first- and second-ring hell wizards on the battlefield, each of whom could borrow the power of hell to fight.

Even the Cape Tower of the Three Rings Wizard Organization was completely unable to withstand the attack of the Hell Wizards, and a large number of wizards died on the battlefield.

For these hell wizards, death is the best sacrifice to hell, which can enable them to get more feedback from hell.

As the battle continued, the defenses of the Cape Tower gradually collapsed.

The number and power of Hell's wizards exceeded the expectations of the Wizarding Union, and their dark magics and summoned demons continued to erode the tower's defenses.

Although the members of the demon hunting team fought bravely, they began to feel overwhelmed by the endless stream of enemies.

David shuttled through the battlefield. Although his ancient tree of life sapling could absorb the enemy's life energy and soul, he also felt tired after such a high-intensity battle.

Each absorption consumes his energy, and the number of enemies seems endless.

Finally, in a fierce attack, the magic barrier of the cape tower was broken.

Hell wizards and demons poured in like a tide and engaged in close combat with the wizards guarding the tower.

The tower's interior passages and halls became a bloody battlefield, and the wizards were forced to retreat, but each step was accompanied by sacrifice.

David and his teammates tried to organize an effective counterattack, but they soon realized that the battle was irreversible.

It was only a matter of time before Cape Tower fell.

After a desperate resistance, David witnessed the tower's commander, a three-ring wizard, being struck down by a powerful hell wizard.

The fall of the commander marked the end of the Wizarding Union's control over the Cape Tower.

With the fall of Cape Tower, the wizards of Hell began to set up their base within the tower, and their dark rituals became more frequent and powerful.

Cape Tower, the former bastion of light, has now become the territory of the wizards of hell, and the power of the devil is continuously pouring into the wizarding world.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, David found Misa, and took this first-ring female wizard and other wizards to escape from the Cape Tower.

The fall of the Cape Tower was like a thunderclap, shaking the entire Endless Sea Wizard Alliance.

When the news reached the Blue Sea, it caused great outrage and panic.

The leaders of the Wizarding Union gathered in the conference hall, and the atmosphere was solemn and tense.

They knew very well that the loss of the Cape Tower not only meant the loss of an important strategic stronghold, but also symbolized the growth of the power of the Hell Wizards and the defeat of the Alliance.

The Supreme Council of the Haiwangjiao Wizarding Union branch held an emergency meeting.

Edmund Starlight, the chairman of the Haiwang Cape Council, is a four-ring wizard. His face is full of worry, and when he looks around, he sees the same heavy expressions.

Edmund cleared his throat, his voice filled with unquestionable authority:
"The fall of Cape Tower is a wake-up call, reminding us that we can no longer underestimate the power of Hell's wizards. We must take action, otherwise the entire wizarding world will be threatened."

In the meeting room, wizards expressed their opinions one after another. Some advocated launching an immediate counterattack to retake the Cape Tower, while others suggested strengthening the defense of other strongholds to prevent further invasion by the wizards of Hell.

However, no matter which opinion, it expresses dissatisfaction with the rise of the Hell Wizards and the determination to confront them.

Ultimately, the council decided on a multi-pronged strategy.

First, they will send a special operations team composed of elite wizards to sneak into the Cape Tower, collect intelligence, and look for opportunities to disrupt the plans of the Hell Wizard.

Secondly, the Alliance will strengthen its ties with other wizard organizations and seek allies to jointly fight against the threat of Hell Wizards in the Cape Sea region.

At the same time, the alliance will also carry out large-scale defense reinforcement to enhance the combat capabilities of wizards and prepare for possible larger-scale battles.

As a member of the demon hunting team that retreated from the previous battle, David was left behind to recuperate, and began to use the alliance's resources to improve his strength.

This time, as a demon hunter, he was able to accumulate a large amount of points, and he directly turned all the points into resources for improving his strength.

At this time, the Wizarding Union was also particularly generous in order to encourage wizards.

David collected all these resources and planned to find an opportunity to return to the Bright Continent.

At the same time, he practiced dual cultivation with two first-ring wizards, Misa and Mi Wei, constantly improving the strength of the source of magic power.
