Not the Drowners King?
The moment before the red banner disappeared.
Ailin quickly channeled his magic, slightly bending his thumb and forefinger to draw a triangle in front of him.
Quen Sign.
A pale golden light instantly enveloped his body.
The next second.
"Boom!"
The cave roared as if it were about to collapse, sending rubble flying into the air.
This was, after all, the third Conjunction of the Spheres that Ailin had experienced.
Before he arrived, he had devised a method to deal with the vibrations caused by the Conjunction of the Spheres.
In the narrow passage, his body moved rhythmically with the vibrations, crouching down as if surfing, dissipating the tremors from the earth.
At the same time, his eyes were fixed on his side.
The bloody ritual array, shrouded in a misty purple light, remained unscathed amidst the earth's rage.
"It worked!" Ailin breathed a sigh of relief.
This is another use of the Yrden Sign, to fix inanimate objects near the magic circle.
In the novel, Geralt hides in the sarcophagus of the Winged Demon and relies on the Yrden Sign to stabilize the sarcophagus, preventing it from being overturned by the Winged Demon's incredible strength, thus allowing him to meditate until morning and break the Winged Demon's curse.
Considering that the vibration would damage the ritual array, Ailin only tried it as a last resort, but unexpectedly it actually succeeded.
but.
Even if Aiden is useless, it doesn't matter if the ritual is disrupted.
The Drowners King is an old friend of Ailin's.
He had many ways of entertaining guests, but using rituals was the quickest and most convenient way to gain a deeper understanding of the "Flesh Giant's " capabilities.
[Ding! Conjunction of the Spheres - Water Ghost Completed!]
"Gurgle—"
A furious roar came from inside the cave.
Gula?
Does the Drowners King also have a dialect and accent?
Ailin was startled and looked into the cave following the sound.
Holy crap!
It's not the Drowners King!
In the dim cave, a black vortex with swirling flames at its edges appeared.
A monster is being slowly squeezed out of the vortex.
Her hair was like seaweed, and her face resembled a human face.
Its entire body is grayish-green, and it has webbed arms like a human, and a thick tail that is at least three meters long like a snake.
This is... a Naga?
Ailin was stunned for a moment, then immediately performed an identification.
Name: Giant Drowner
[Level: 31]
[Attributes: Strength?, Agility?, Constitution?, Perception 19, Mysticism?]
Giant Drowner?
Although that face resembled a human face, its cheekbones were prominent and its complexion was grayish-green. People would believe it was a demon, let alone a celestial being.
And what's with this identification technique?
It's already LV2, but only one level is showing up, and the attributes are all question marks.
After mentally grumbling a few times, Ailin pondered for a moment.
Although it's level 36, considering the negative effects after the Conjunction of the Spheres... it's still fightable!
Although he had already assessed the odds of winning, he still quietly became more vigilant.
Given the size of a monster, it's understandable that its strength, agility, and constitution can't be measured, but its mystical abilities also can't be measured...
Does this mean that Giant Drowner, like the Drowners King, also possesses some kind of magic?
"Boom!"
The Giant Drowner was completely spat out by the vortex and crashed to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
The screams stopped abruptly.
Ailin knew that the monster had been caught off guard for at least two minutes by the "Conjunction of the Spheres" and was in a state of dizziness and stun.
The time to strike first has come!
He gulped down the prepared Cat Eye Potion in one go.
The dim cave was suddenly illuminated.
The edges of the rocks were covered in a fuzzy effect, but the Giant Drowner stood out sharply in the field of vision, as if it had been sharpened.
Ailin's spirits were also greatly concentrated because of this effect.
However, he didn't have time to think about the potion's effects.
"Croak~ Croak~ Croak croak..."
The almost inaudible chant was quickly uttered.
In just a few seconds, an ice spear, about two fingers wide and shimmering with a fluorescent blue light, appeared in Ailin's right palm.
After the mysterious attribute and Water Element Affinity enhanced, the width of the ice spear and the brightness of its fluorescent flashes were greatly improved.
And because the chanting time was shortened, this wasn't even when the Ice Lance Spell was at its most powerful.
His right palm pointed steadily at the Giant Drowner, who was lying on his back, wide open, due to dizziness.
Immediately following.
[Demon Hunter].
The dust floating in the air became clear instantly.
Ailin focused his attention on the moment Giant Drowner closed her eyes.
Good fortune comes to mind.
"Call out!"
The ice spear sliced through the air, instantly piercing the eyelid and disappearing into the Swamp Fairy's right eye.
A transparent gel mixed with a few green wisps flowed out from the small hole.
"Gurgle—"
Another deafening scream of pain rang out.
Amidst the roar, Ailin quickly drank a portion of the Drowner Heart Essence Fluid to restore his strength.
Immediately following.
He strode quickly to the "Flesh Giant" ritual and knelt down.
"My flesh and blood gave me rebirth, and my blood gave me strength..."
The eerie, mysterious whispers began again.
Within ten seconds.
Minced meat and bone meal quickly adhered to the surface, and the bloody, Flesh Giant reappeared in the deep cave.
The giant clenched his fist, the surging power feeling exactly the same as last time.
"No problem!"
"Everything is going according to plan!"
"Clang!"
The crimson hand pulled Elsa out and rushed out of the passage.
At this moment, Giant Drowner was still covering her eyes and screaming in agony.
The enormous snake tail, writhing wildly against the stone walls and the ground in excruciating pain from blindness.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A dull thud resounded, and rubble and dust flew everywhere.
The long, whip-like snake tail even left afterimages as it swung, accompanied by a series of "crackling" sounds.
Upon seeing this scene, Ailin had just rushed into the cave, immediately became more vigilant.
Even with the Flesh Giant's shell providing cushioning, Ailin wouldn't fare well if that snake tail struck.
However, he had no intention of running away.
While the Giant Drowner was still grieving the loss of her eyes and had not yet had time to search for the enemy.
Using the dust, sand, and the sounds of collisions as cover, Ailin quickly ran to the right side of the Swamp Fairy where she had lost her eye.
He stared at the snake's tail thrashing wildly, and a thought flashed through his mind.
Immediately afterwards.
Demon Hunter
Sweep!
Cut!
"Pfft!"
In a flash of silver light.
With more than half the power she had before the ritual, Elsa unleashed her true power.
The cut was made on the snake's tail, which was even wider than the length of the silver sword, like a red-hot lump of coal placed in snow.
Lost in a moment!
With a single sword stroke, he severed the snake's tail in two.
The severed half of its tail didn't even react, constantly shaking and slapping the ground.
Dark green blood gushed from the severed opening, and a strong, strange fragrance instantly filled the small cave.
[Demon Hunter] Progress 65%
"Cool!"
More than half of the demon-hunting progress was achieved in an instant. Even though he was in a calm state while demon-hunting, Ailin felt instantly refreshed.
"Gurgle—"
The Giant Drowner's screams grew louder, so loud that the cave walls seemed to resonate faintly.
His only remaining left eye opened, and the snake-like pupil, filled with dark green blood vessels, stared intently at Ailin, his hatred almost overflowing.
It struggled to get up.
The broken snake tail could not support her as she stood up.
then...
"Gurgle! Gurgle—"
A strange rhythmic pattern echoed through the cave.
