CHAPTER 103: CHAPTER 20: FEMALE SORCERER MUTUAL AID ASSOCIATION 6

The night gradually deepened.

Su Ziyu returned to his residence.

Judy, Nicole, and Mira were a bit disappointed for not getting the promise they wanted, but it seemed they hadn’t given up entirely, as Su Ziyu at least promised to protect their safety as much as possible during this journey.

This was already considered a gain for the three female warlocks.

In this world.

The position of female warlocks was somewhat awkward. Although they grasped powerful magic, due to the presence of anti-magic metal, a slight carelessness could lead to failure. Even ordinary people could capture them if they got close. Don’t be deceived by Judy, Nicole, and Mira’s submissive attitude when facing Su Ziyu, if not using anti-magic metal, actually fighting the three female warlocks would give him a headache.

The emergence of anti-magic metal left these female warlocks feeling quite insecure.

Whether it was Lady Inid, or Judy, Nicole, and Mira, their efforts to draw in Su Ziyu were mostly a serious manifestation of insecurity.

They were well aware of their weaknesses.

And Su Ziyu’s strength perfectly compensated for this weakness.

"I thought you wouldn’t come back tonight." A teasing voice from Van Helsing echoed.

Su Ziyu glanced at the demon hunter emerging from the shadows, raised an eyebrow, and said, "I thought you’d be cozying up with some female warlock by now."

Van Helsing laughed heartily in response, casually tossing over a bottle of wine.

He gestured for Su Ziyu to sit down beside him.

Su Ziyu caught the bottle and followed Van Helsing onto the wall.

The moonlight tonight was quite pleasant.

"They are beautiful. And charming," Van Helsing murmured, seemingly lost in past memories while taking a swig of wine, "Ordinary women don’t possess that unique charm."

"But they are also like roses with thorns, some are even poisonous flowers."

"When I was your age, I was often manipulated by them for a night’s pleasure."

"More than once!"

"We are the anomalies they created."

"They know our weaknesses very well, know how to grasp them, tempt and manipulate us to achieve their goals."

"In that sense."

"You have much more restraint than I did back then. No wonder you could enter the legendary domain."

Su Ziyu took a sip from the bottle and shook his head, saying, "They just excel at leveraging their advantages."

"I’ve seen many women like that before."

"Maybe not as beautiful as they are, but equally adept at mastering men."

"Actually, they’re quite pitiful too."

"Possessing powerful magic but lacking a sense of security. They have to rely on their beauty to seek our help."

Van Helsing looked at Su Ziyu with a bit of surprise and took a sip of wine, saying, "Surprising to see you understand women so well."

"Yes."

"We are seen as anomalies by others, compared to ordinary people, they trust us more."

Van Helsing took a big swig of wine and murmured, "Do what you want to do. Don’t leave any regrets."

"We have longer lifespans than ordinary people."

"But once some things happen."

"They are irretrievable!"

The demon hunter now looked like a weary old man. Although his body wasn’t aging, his mind was long exhausted.

Hunting monsters day in and day out for decades, even an iron man would feel tired.

Maybe that’s why the gentleness of female warlocks attracts them so much.

"We are gradually disappearing." Van Helsing gazed up at the moon in the sky and said slowly, "The number of demon hunters is decreasing, many schools have lost their heritage in turmoil."

"Perhaps one day we will vanish like halflings."

Demon hunters cannot bear offspring.

They can only be born through the magic potion trial, the birth of a seasoned demon hunter may take decades, yet just one squad of elite soldiers could take their lives. During political disputes back in the day, many schools of demon hunters disappeared like that, surrounded by armies, even possessing powerful personal strength, they were eventually overwhelmed by the military.

Likewise now, female warlocks can’t resist witch hunters with dual support from both the secular world and the church.

"No, they won’t." Su Ziyu patted Van Helsing’s shoulder, as if comforting an old man, and said, "As long as there are places that need us. Demon hunters will always exist."

"Do you know about the Celestial Convergence?"

"There are thousands of worlds like ours in the universe."

"Maybe in one of those worlds, the legacy of demon hunters continues, and some demon hunter is writing a legendary tale beyond our reach."

Van Helsing couldn’t help but laugh heartily and stood up, saying, "Then he must be a very lucky guy!"

This seasoned demon hunter reached out and clasped Su Ziyu’s arm, saying, "I will also head to the City of Freedom this time."

"Speaking of which."

"Last time during the vampire hunt in Dongluo, I almost lost my life."

"I don’t know how much odds I have against them now."

It seemed Van Helsing had also accepted the commission from the Female Sorcerer Mutual Aid Association, and it appeared Judy wasn’t wrong, the City of Freedom indeed wasn’t a simple place.

Vampires, huh?

Su Ziyu hadn’t encountered any vampires so far. He was curious about what that world’s vampires were like.

An old man and a not-yet-old man drank until the moonlight was at its fullest.

Then, they heard a slightly angry voice, Melissa stood at the bottom of the wall with hands on her hips, glaring at them, "How long are you two going to keep drinking?"

It was a subtle feeling.

Like an old father caught stealing a drink by his daughter, Van Helsing was momentarily stunned, then burst out laughing, and Su Ziyu couldn’t help but laugh too.

He hadn’t laughed so freely and unburdened for a long time.

Even when he was on Earth back then, Su Ziyu’s life was somewhat dull and monotonous, the day-to-day routine of going to work and coming home, and going to bars, traveling, or gaming out of boredom didn’t quite fill something missing.

How to live, and keep living.

That was Su Ziyu’s initial thought.

But now he hoped more to live without regrets, to live on, though he faced monsters far more terrifying than Van Helsing’s!

Melissa was still standing below, glaring at them in frustration.

The two exchanged a glance, then both jumped off the wall, and Su Ziyu reached out and ruffled Melissa’s hair, eliciting a glare from the girl.

"Training doubles starting tomorrow!" Su Ziyu laughed heartily as he turned and left.
