You Can Use Magic Too?

Where did it go?

Ailin's expression turned grave. He quickly retreated and pressed himself against the thick, dead tree trunk.

Between the two large trees where the Swamp Hag disappeared, only two footprints remained.

What happened?

Aren't Swamp Hag supposed to hide underground in swamps?

Could this kind of snowy terrain also work?

But if that's the case, why didn't it attack together with those water ghosts just now?

One question after another arose, causing Ailin to grip his sword tighter and look around.

The snow on the ground did not bulge, and there was no sudden appearance of a series of footprints around.

Only the last four water ghosts, their eyes bloodshot, charged forward, oblivious to their own mortality.

A monster was lurking in the shadows, watching intently, which made Ailin lose interest in playing with these little monsters any longer.

He held the sword in his left hand to protect his body, and with his right index finger bent, he quickly reached forward.

Igni Fire Sign.

A surge of heat rose from near the heart, flowed through the right hand, and then gushed out.

Sparks flew everywhere, instantly igniting the water ghosts that had been stained with the blood of their kind, which roared and howled as they fled in all directions.

"Quack! Quack quack—"

Amidst the water ghosts' screams, Ailin did not step forward to claim their lives.

The flames were enough to kill it.

He crouched down, and the magic flowed through the vicinity of his heart once more.

Then, while remaining vigilant, he pressed his right palm into the snow.

Magic flowed out regularly from the Magic Veins in the five fingers, flowing onto the ground.

In the blink of an eye, a magic circle emitting a faint, mysterious purple light emerged from the ground.

The circle had a radius of about three meters, and the edges of the magic circle were shimmering with pale purple runes.

Yrden Sign

This is a magical trap set on the ground or floor, which can have different effects on enemies who step into it.

However, at Ailin's LV1 level, the only effect she can currently produce is a slowing effect.

That's enough for him.

The winter sun shines obliquely, and a cold wind begins to rise.

Before anyone knew it, a thin mist gradually enveloped the lake shore.

After placing the Yrden Sign, Ailin looked up and saw the thin mist, and was momentarily stunned.

The familiar scene made him subconsciously connect his mind to the mirage pearl.

Sure enough, the thin mist in front of us disappeared.

so...

"Is this yet another Foglet?"

Ailin's face immediately darkened.

What incredible luck I have today!

Either you can't find the demonic shadow for an hour, or a bunch of demons suddenly appear.

"Bang!"

The bottles and jars clattered together. Ailin, alert, quickly took a bottle of red potion from his medicine bag with his left hand and poured it on Elsa.

Both the Foglet and the Swamp Hag are carnivorous creatures.

Applying some Necrophage Oil to the sword is definitely a good idea.

"Creak~"

It seems that his act of applying oil revealed a weakness to the enemy.

Amid the swaying of the branches, a sudden gust of wind rose above Ailin's head.

"Snap~"

The crystal bottle was thrown to the ground without hesitation.

The remaining red Sword Oil in the bottle slowly flowed out, merging with the dark red blood of the Snow Demon.

"When!"

Mars is shooting out in all directions.

The silver sword blocked a sharp claw in front of it.

The Cat Eyes suddenly contracted, coming within a finger's width of the sharp claws.

How did the Swamp Hag climb the tree?

"And how come the Swamp Hag is so strong?"

Ailin was shocked.

The tingling sensation in his wrist told him that the Swamp Hag's power was definitely above his own.

If the Yrden Sign hadn't already been placed, he might have gone blind by now.

With a sudden burst of strength, he flung the monster away.

"Snap! Snap!"

He quickly took two steps back around the dead tree, while keeping an eye on his surroundings.

He hadn't forgotten that there was at least one Foglet lurking here, and he had to make sure his back was safe.

Furthermore, the Yrden Sign is also centered around this large tree, so Ailin can only move within the sign's range as much as possible.

"Giggle~"

A strange laugh suddenly came from the Swamp Hag's mouth, sounding like the howl of a wild cat in the middle of the night, sending chills down one's spine.

It stopped in place and did not rush to attack, but raised its right hand and waved it.

The swamp witch had a pale bone, of unknown origin, that looked like a forearm, tied to her right arm.

"Giggle~ giggle~"

The strange laughter suddenly became regular.

This feeling is just like when I first heard the Drowners King unleash the Ice Lance Spell.

"Um?"

Ailin instantly became alert and hid half of his body behind a dead tree.

Is this a spell being chanted?

But apart from throwing mud, I've never seen the Swamp Hag cast any other spells in the game!

The connection in my mind was decisively transferred to the Wolf Emblem.

"It really is casting magic!" Ailin thought in surprise.

A hazy blue light slowly seeped into the strange bone on the Swamp Hag's arm.

The bone also flickered with blue light, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, along with the monster's strange laughter.

until...

"... cluck cluck cluck!"

The eerie yet rhythmic laughter suddenly stopped.

The brightness of the bones in the field of vision suddenly increased.

"Boom!"

A soft sound.

The Swamp Hag instantly turned into a cloud of white mist.

Ailin was stunned for a moment.

Isn't this the Foglet's skill?

So that cloud of mist was actually the Swamp Hag?

From the magic's perspective, the mist was emitting a pale blue light as it slowly drifted toward him.

From the perspective of a mirage, you can't see anything at all.

"Really!"

Ailin understood.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he couldn't help but reveal a strange smile.

He looked down at Elsa in his hand.

In the heat of the moment, the Necrophage Oil was not applied evenly, and only about a third of the sword's surface glowed with a pale red light.

then.

He retreated, following the white mist through the magic's perspective.

He then pulled out a bottle of red Necrophage Oil from the medicine packet.

Then, slowly and carefully, he poured it onto Elsa.

One minute later.

"Shh~"

The crystal bottle was thrown onto the snow.

Elsa's sword was now evenly covered with a layer of pale red light.

Ailin stopped, his eyes filled with excitement as he looked at the white mist that was only two steps away.

With a slam of his right foot, he rushed to the front of the fog in the blink of an eye.

This was immediately followed by a series of slashes.

The pale red light streaked across the thin mist three times, seemingly without striking anything.

But Ailin doesn't seem to think so.

He held his breath, gripped Elsa tightly, and stared intently ahead.

Time flies.

The pale blue mist in sight stopped, and in the blink of an eye, it solidified again into the shape of Swamp Hag.

"Cough—"

The moment the Swamp Hag appeared, she looked up and screamed shrilly, dark red tears streaming from her pale eyes, a stark contrast to her terrifying appearance.

Terrifying and eerie.

"Just as I thought!"

Seeing this, Ailin's eyes lit up, and he seized the opportunity instantly.

The silver sword he was gripping tightly suddenly spun around.

"Pfft!"

The head, dripping with blood and tears, fell to the ground, and dark red blood spurted out instantly.

"Bite!"

[Defeat the monster "Swamp Hag"!]
