Volume 1 The Rise of the Demon Race Chapter 5 The Wight(2/2)
"Yes, Sect Master!" Before Ma Wen could speak, he continued, "The evil spirits encountered tonight are not ordinary demons or time-traveling demons. Sect Master, we should..."
Ma Wen understood the idea, "Crazy Wolf, call everyone to gather in the courtyard," he said, "Crazy Wolf, go and dig out the bodies of the other four disciples buried and bring them to the courtyard. Be careful to be safe! Crazy Wolf, you go find them.
Get some wood and build a firewood pile."
"Take orders!"
After the task was handed down, Marvin turned and entered his room.
The disciples of the Demon Hunting Sect brought back tangled trees, shrubs and bunches of dead grass.
They also found the two straightest trees, cut off the branches, peeled off the bark, and split them. The resulting firewood was piled into a square shape, and the middle was filled with straw, shrubs, bark chips, and hay.
Crazy Wolf and others carried the bodies of all the disciples who died tonight onto the pyre.
The sky is getting brighter, and the first dawn is about to break through the darkness.
Marvin walked out of the room with two letters in his arms.
He took the torch from the mad wolf and inserted it into the pyre. The pyre immediately caught fire. A stream of hot air rose from the fire and rushed towards Qi Rusong, gently but abruptly. The flames quickly burned the bodies of the Demon Hunting Sect disciples and the firewood.
There was a hissing explosion, and glowing embers rose from the smoke.
Ma Wen knelt down on one knee with his sword in hand, and the other disciples also knelt down.
Then, Marvin read the Demon Hunting Sect's oath loudly:
"The demon clan has not been destroyed. From today on, I will guard Daxia. I will not marry, fief or have children. I will enjoy glory and wealth and will not participate in worldly disputes. I will fulfill my duties faithfully and live and die here.
I am the sharp sword of the people, the guard of Dongsheng Continent. I am the flame that resists the cold, the morning light at dawn, and the strong shield that protects the country of Daxia. It is like this tonight, and it will be like this every night.
May you all go to heaven with your souls and bless me in Daxia!"
After finishing the matter, Ma Wen handed the letter in his arms to Elder Wu and told him to deliver it personally to Qi Tai and the head of the Demon Hunting Sect.
Then he called his mount and got on his horse.
"Start immediately!" he told his disciples.
All the disciples got on their horses one after another.
The sky is gray, and the demon hunters embark on a journey. What they face is a demon race they have never encountered before!
