Demon Deathchase Read Online Free

Consisting
     of five members, the family from oldest to youngest was Borgoff, Nolt, Groveck, Kyle,
     and Leila. The number of Nobles they’d taken care of reached triple digits, and word
     of how, miraculously, none of the clan had been lost in the process circulated far
     and wide among the people of the Frontier.
    At the same time, so did tales of the clan’s cruelty and callousness.
    Nowhere did it say only one Vampire Hunter or group of Hunters could be hired for
     a given case. Considering the vengeance the Nobility would wreak in the event of failure,
     it was perfectly normal for the person concerned to employ a number of individuals,
     or even several groups.
    The Marcus clan always lasted until the very end. They alone. No individual or group
     that had worked with them, or against them for that matter, had ever survived.



Due to the fact that none of the other Hunters’ corpses had ever been recovered, there
     was no choice but to believe the Marcuses’ claims that the Hunters were slain by the
     Nobility, but rumors spread like wildfire, and now an ominous storm of suspicion swirled
     over the clan members’ heads.
    Be that as it may, no one doubted their abilities as Hunters. After all, the number
     of Nobility their group had single-handedly destroyed was staggering.
    Still, when other Hunters heard the Marcuses’ name, the abhorrence felt was always
     coupled with a sense of aweover the threat the other killers felt from the clan’s
     clearly demonstrated ability, and their willingness to use their skills for harm.
    In all likelihood, this was probably the first time the clan had ever heard a man
     say their name so calmly.
    “Look, jerk—” Unexpectedly, the giant—Borgoff—made a strange face. “—er, pal . . .
     I’ve heard about someone with your looks and a blue pendant. Ten years back, this
     one village elder told us there was only one Hunter in all the Frontier that was a
     match for us. That alone he was probably tougher than all of us put together or some
     such thing . . . But you couldn’t be . . . ”
    Giving no answer, the young man turned away, as if completely unconcerned by the bunch
     of fearsome villains in front of him.
    “Uh, hey, wait up,” the man with the hexagonal staff called out. “We’re going after
     the Noble that grabbed the geezer’s daughter. If you’re not with us, that makes you
     an enemy, too. Is that the way you want it?”
    There was no response, and the horse and rider’s silhouette was swallowed by the darkness.
    “We’re not gonna let him go, are we?” Leila asked indignantly, but Borgoff didn’t
     seem to be listening,
    “A dhampir . . . is that what he is then . . . ?” he muttered with an imbecilic look
     on his face. This was the first time the younger siblings had heard the man speak
     in such a tone.
    Or say a certain, mysterious name.
    “I’ve finally met a man I actually fear . . . D.”
    —
    The spot was thirty miles north of the village of Vishnu, where wholesale slaughter
     followed tragedy in just two short days.
    A lone black carriage rushed along the narrow road through the forest. The six horses
     that pulled it were ebon, too, and the driver in the coachman’s perch was garbed in
     black. The whole vehicle seemed born of the darkness.
    Showering the horses with merciless lashes, the driver occasionally looked to the
     heavens.
    The sky was so full of stars it seemed to be falling. Their light seemed to flicker
     on the face gazing up at them. The graceful visage of the driver clouded suddenly.
    “The stars moved. Those giving chase . . . to me . . . Six of them.” There in the
     darkness, his eyes began to give off a blazing light. “And no mere pursuers at that
     . . . Each possessed of extraordinary skill . . . One of them in particular . . .
     ”
    As if unable to contain his agitation, he stood upright in the coachman’s perch, shaking
     the jet-black vehicle beneath his feet.
    “I won’t let them have her. I
