High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 575: Chapter 244: The Skyward Red Light_1

”The white one is a healing aura, as the name suggests, this aura can effectively treat conditions often encountered in the hunting ground, such as bleeding, poisoning, mild curses, severe dizziness, and so on... The man with the Trident Sword also said that sometimes this aura can be bestowed on the demons, greatly weakening their health — my honey, their poison.”

”I’d rather have a bit of real honey.” Xin Fat Man squatted down with effort, sniffed the white aura at his feet, and then muttered, ”Give me enough honey, and I can concoct a hundred common detox potions in an hour.”

Zheng Qing ignored the fat man’s bewildering behaviour, nor did he pay attention to his muttering.

He pointed at the yellow aura under Xiao Xiao’s feet and continued explaining:

”The yellow aura under the doctor’s feet is a protective aura. Standing within this aura, you can defend against magic attacks, physical attacks, and even some mysterious curses... According to my understanding, this aura is like having hunters don a heavy armor without weight!” After Zheng Qing finished, he added with enthusiasm: ”I think this is the most useful one among all the auras.”

”There are no useless auras, only foolish hunters... Of course, I also agree with your last sentence.” Xiao Xiao sat squatting in the grass, his left hand slightly tapping on the yellow aura at his foot, as if plucking a string, and his right hand supporting a notebook spread on his knee, his nose almost touching the page.

It made his voice sound a bit suppressed:

”If I’m not mistaken, perhaps this protective aura not only has external protection... it’s thought particle vibrations are very active, enough to form a solid thought particle stand. In other words, this aura can not only obstruct external mental intrusion but also makes your mind stronger.”

”Sounds very profound.” Zheng Qing scratched his head, finally remembering where he had heard the term ’thought particle field’: ”I remembered that the thought particle field is one of the manifestations of mental particle properties, I always thought that the thought particle field only existed in our brains...”

”The first sentence looks impressive, but the second one just exposes your ignorance.” Xiao Xiao adjusted his glasses, snuck a glance at the young student: ”The three manifestations of mental power are subjects of research for registered wizards and above, it’s beyond my expectations that you have some understanding of it...”

”Why do I feel like the doctor is finding a fancy way to brag?” The fat man muttered quietly on the side.

Xiao Xiao ignored him and continued to analyze, ”... but as you said, the thought particle field is one of the manifestations of the mental power’s particle properties, hence any magic that can physically manifest the mind will to some extent open a thought particle field. This yellow aura is no exception.”

”Stop!” Zhang Ji Xin stepped in front of the doctor, blocking Zheng Qing’s curious gaze.

The main hunter of Absolution swung his arm vigorously and forcefully stopped the conversation, ”Enough! No more learning about magic theory for now! We still have a lot to do... Excuse me, can you first tell me what this green aura under my feet is doing?”

But besides Zheng Qing, it seemed that no one noticed his action.

Xiao Xiao kept on explaining the Davison-Thompson theory and Xin Fat Man was still engrossed in munching on his popcorn. Blue Bird continued to hug the Sword God game and Lin Guo was still squatting in front of the Minotaur’s hoof, carefully studying the keratin layer on the Minotaur’s toenail.

”Quiet!” Zhang Ji Xin yelled anxiously: ”Everybody quiet!”

He was still ignored.

Everyone continued doing what they were doing.

”This is the effect of the green aura.” Zheng Qing spread his hands and said with a smile: ”It’s not that they are ignoring you, but that you have ’disappeared’ from everyone’s consciousness.”

”Who are you talking to?” Xin Fat Man scratched his chin thoughtfully and looked around: ”Since a while ago, I felt like something was missing.”

”The elder.” Blue Bird pointed out succinctly.

”Right!” The fat man slapped his palm with a sudden realization: ”If you didn’t say it, I almost forgot... Did he go to the bathroom? Why didn’t he say anything.”

”Is your brain capacity really that shallow?!” Xiao Xiao gave up on trying to explain the complex theory, looked up, and with astonishment, said to the fat man, ”Even if you can’t see people, can’t you see the fallen grass?”

”So, I’ve turned invisible?” Zhang Ji Xin, hugging his arms, had an interested expression on his face.

”Not only that.” Zheng Qing snapped his fingers, ”As you can see, this is a stealth aura. On one hand, it erases your external traces. On the other hand, it makes people subconsciously ignore your existence... a dual vanishing act, producing a perfect stealth as a result.”

”We can only say it’s almost perfect,” Xiao Xiao corrected, ”Even though we don’t see him, we can judge someone’s presence by the changes in the surrounding environment... for example, the grass under his feet almost being stomped into the mud.”

”Why can you see it!” The fat man’s dissatisfied voice rang out from the side.

”Because this is the magic my Minotaur uses.” Zheng Qing blinked, turned his head to look at the Minotaur, signaled for it to retract these auras, then continued speaking to his companions, ”Besides these auras we’ve seen, there’s also a purple glow used on demons... hmm, the guy with the Trident Sword calls it the Aura of Weakness, essentially causing a bunch of negative effects on demons, such as pain, powerlessness, dizziness, poisoning, etc. As there aren’t suitable targets, the nose ring and earrings didn’t release it just now.”

Watching the auras rise up again and being taken into the totem pole by the Minotaur, the Absolution’s Hunters clicked their tongues in astonishment and praised continuously. Zhang Ji Xin even snatched Xin Fat Man’s notebook and rapidly noted down his sudden inspirations.

”I believe our battle formation still has a lot of room for adjustment.” Absolution’s leading Hunter said excitedly while hurriedly recording his inspirations, ”With your summoning spell, our chances of winning have greatly increased!”

Next to the Minotaur, Lin Guo, who had lost the support of the red aura, seemed to finally recall his actions, his face turned white, trembling under the Minotaur’s heavy breathing, he wobbled back into the team.

”Why didn’t you stop me.” His voice sounded exceptionally weak.

”You refused,” Zheng Qing, with a grin, rubbed his head, then added, ”Besides, the nose ring and earrings are quite friendly... just a bit fierce-looking.”

”Moo!” The Minotaur’s two heads quickly nodded in response.

”Is there more?” After noting down his inspirations, Zhang Ji Xin looked at the Minotaur, then turned to Zheng Qing and questioned, ”What other surprises can it bring us?”

Zheng Qing touched his nose tip and uncertainly glanced at the Minotaur.

The nose ring and earrings raised their enormous palms, rubbed the horns on the left side of their heads, shook their heads, and once again planted the totem pole they were carrying on the ground.

Everyone felt a familiar shaking under their feet as it spread through the ground, creating a tingling sensation.

”It means there’s none left, I guess.” Xin Fat Man guessed in a whisper.

Before the young man on public funding could express an opinion, a stronger vibration came from under their feet, followed by a series of dull, intense explosions.

”Boom boom boom...”

It was like thunder rumbling in the distance.

Looking up, they could see a red light filling the sky beyond the towering city walls.

”Holy shit! This is sick?!” The fat man cursed, a shocked expression on his face as he looked at the Minotaur, ”I just wanted to see your abilities... but you just pierced through the island with one stroke??”
