Game: I'm a Hunter in the Blood Curse World

"Meow!"

The black cat jumped to Katya's side, rubbed against her leg, and raised its paws in a gesture of respect.

"Huh? You're thanking me? I didn't do anything!"

Katya looked puzzled, but seeing that the black cat seemed to like her, she still wanted to hug it.

This time, the black cat didn't dodge, but took two steps back and lowered its head to let Katya pet it a couple of times.

Seeing its actions, Vann realized that although Katya was somewhat reckless, she had inadvertently extinguished the explosion of the crimson flames.

"This world of blood mist is truly wondrous; it even possesses this kind of flame-type power."

Van En shook his head and saw the living room door that had been smashed open by the shockwave, discovering that behind it was a staircase leading upwards.

Although they were quite far away, from the hunter's perspective, Vane could see many bloody footprints leading upwards.

At that moment, the black cat darted to the first step of the stairs, glanced back at Vann and Katya, and continued running upwards.

"We're almost there! Let's go!"

A look of joy appeared on Van En's face as he took Katya's hand and followed the black cat.

As he passed the circular pit, he glanced at it and noticed that not even a trace of metal remained, lamenting the loss of some special finds.

After climbing three floors with the black cat, all Fan En saw along the way were charred animal carcasses, bloody footprints, and bloody handprints.

Judging from these traces, Sir Francis rushed uphill with his men in a great hurry, but he seemed to have a lot of confidence.

He also saw the mangled bodies of the three soldiers again.

The black cat ran very fast. After Vann went up two more floors, he saw that the stairs narrowed.

Then you'll see the staircase narrows, and an arc-shaped staircase curves upwards.

"This is the entrance to the tower. When I was a kid, I used to sneak up there with the other kids from the village!"

Katya pointed out that this was the right path. Looking at the panting Katya, Vann released her hand and said:

"Do you need to catch your breath?"

Katya shook her head and said, "You go first, I won't fall behind!"

"good!"

Vann continued to follow the black cat upwards, occasionally turning back for a few seconds to make sure Katya caught up before continuing forward.

After climbing for about a minute, Vann saw an even bloodier battlefield:

On the narrow staircase, the corpses of wild animals and soldiers were piled up together, some even embracing each other in their death.

The stench of blood and burnt food permeated the air.

Moreover, some of the wild beasts here were not quite dead yet, and Vann kicked these corpses aside as he climbed upwards, while leisurely harvesting the beast heads.

On the ten-meter-long steps, Van En killed nine wild beasts that were still alive before he could finally see his carriage outside the garden through the observation window next to him.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the carriage, he glanced at the small garden and noticed that the green flames there were still burning, looking like a strange ghost face from the air.

Van En stared at the center of the small garden and found no corpses except for two clumps of ashes. He was glad he had run fast.

He glanced back and saw that Katya had caught up with him, her little face flushed, and she seemed to be fine.

"Coo coo coo~"

Vann glanced at Katya's stomach and saw that the girl's face was as red as if she were drunk, so he handed her a bottle of water and a piece of white bread:

"You can't kill cultists and wild animals on an empty stomach. Eat whatever you can."

"Um!"

Katya kept her head down, biting into her bread and drinking water, not really caring about the bloody scene around her.

After climbing about ten meters higher, Vann saw the black cat crouching on the windowsill, gazing upwards.

Upon arriving here, Vann heard the roars and battle sounds of men and beasts, as well as the sounds of metal and flesh being cut.

Vann turned to Katya and said:

"We've arrived, get ready!"

"good!"

Katya swallowed the food in her mouth, raised the Silver Blood Lamp, and drew her cleaver.

Seeing the girl's nervous expression, Fan En comforted her:

"Don't worry, from what I hear up there, Sir Francis and his men seem to be handling things with ease."

"Um!"

Katya forced an awkward smile, but her eyes were filled with tension and fear.

Clearly, the prospect of immediately verifying the fate of her parents and younger brother was making the girl very anxious.

Van En sighed softly, saying nothing, knowing that Katya had to bear this alone no matter what.

As for what he can do...

Van En squinted, gripped the meat saw tightly, and strode upwards.

Before he had climbed ten steps, a stench of wild beasts filled Van En’s nostrils.

"Hehe~"

"Gaga~"

"Waaah~"

Three humanoid beast faces covered in black hair squeezed together and appeared in front of Van En.

Without even looking, he slashed at it with his knife.

A flash of cold light appeared, followed by a spurt of blood in an arc.

Then three beast heads fell off, which Van En crushed under his foot. He then elbowed aside the limp corpses and continued to swing his sword upwards.

These wild beasts were all dressed up and looked very similar to the ones he had encountered in Sweet Well Village, but they could only make incoherent noises.

They huddled together, rushing toward the rooms at the top of the tower, some so crowded they couldn't even lift their arms.

Therefore, Vann's hunt went very smoothly, almost like cutting sugarcane.

After killing about 16 wild beasts, Vane finally saw the iron gate at the top of the tower.

The iron gate had been forced open, and the room inside shimmered with silver and pale gold light.

The sound of the blade slicing through flesh grew louder, indicating that Vane had finally found Sir Francis and the survivors.

Fan En glanced around and found that it was a circular room, quite large, at least 150 square meters.

"Meow!"

Seeing that the path had been cleared by Vane, the black cat nimbly leaped a few times on the wall and then disappeared into the room at the top of the tower.

Vann killed five more wild beasts, kicked aside their corpses blocking the door, and went inside.

He then pulled Katya, who was behind him, to his side.

"who!"

A stern, deep voice boomed into Vann's ears, and he immediately responded:

"Hunter, come to our rescue!"

"hunter!?"

After the deep voice voiced its questioning, a hearty laugh followed:

"You've come at the perfect time! Come with me and slaughter these vile creatures!"

Katya, who was next to him, also shouted:

"Sir Francis! I am Katya from Sweetwell Village!"

"Ah! That robust girl from the Lenster family!"

Sir Francis responded with a tone full of joy:

"Ethan's back with his men! Brothers, give it your all! Kill the rest of the beasts!"

Upon hearing Ethan's name, Vann and Katya remained silent for a moment before joining the fray.

There were also about twenty wild beasts in the room at the top of the tower.

One of them was a beast that was over 2 meters tall, with a wolf's head, a hunched back, and was exceptionally strong.

At this moment, he was fighting Sir Francis and his personal guards.

After killing several wild beasts, Vann led Katya to a spot three meters to their side.

Thus, they were able to see the situation of Sir Francis and his companions.

Sir Francis, who was leading the group, was short and stout. He wore an alien-shaped suit of armor that looked like a round, folding paper lantern (Van thought it looked more like an onion), and carried a pair of octagonal, pointed hammers.

He was surrounded by six soldiers, dressed in normal armor and wielding longswords, who were fighting against wild beasts.

Vann noticed a magnificent golden flame on the chest of Sir Frans's armor, radiating a faint golden light that kept the werewolf beast he was dealing with from getting too close.

In the corner behind them, a short figure wearing a white hooded robe was carrying a silver blood lamp the size of a lantern, cheering on those present.

Behind this person was a storage room, which was crowded with ordinary people whispering and sounding panicked.

Many survived!

Vann showed a relieved expression and gestured for Katya to look in that direction.
