Countless demons swarmed toward Bologue like schools of fish, severed limbs and entrails flying everywhere. Sometimes, Bologue didn't even swing his sword; merely raising Grudgebite would cause the creatures to rush onto the blade and cut themselves to pieces.
The pile of corpses grew into a mountain, blood flowing incessantly through the gaps until it pooled into a stream, gushing through the crack in the great library's doors. Thousands of bloodthirsty jaws opened wide, emitting a thunderous roar akin to crashing waves. The cacophony layered upon itself, nearly tearing Bologue's eardrums apart.
But Bologue felt no pain; his entire body was dominated by a furious power, his blood burning within him. This was the Hunter's technique known as Boiling Blood, now augmented by narrative power and bestowed upon Bologue.
This power seeped into his bones, strengthening Bologue on all fronts like his previous three trials.
