Haxor Is Dead?

This Drowners King is so weak!

A thought flashed through Ailin's mind.

at the same time.

The Drowners King delivered a heavy hammer blow with his right claw, like a small mountain crashing down from above, slamming into Ailin's head.

After glancing at it briefly, the Witcher used an Alde Sign to blow away the water ghosts that surrounded him, then subtly moved two steps to the side.

"Thump!"

A fist with red webbed feet streaked across his body and slammed into the ground.

The arena's brownish-yellow sandy ground was instantly blasted into a large crater, with dirt flying out and shooting into the distance.

Ailin muttered to himself.

"This Drowners King is so weak?"

Although his strength was not as great as that of the monster that weighed at least three or four tons, he could see every single attack of the Drowners King clearly.

So hiding is very easy; it's not as difficult as you might imagine.

"Whoosh~"

Before the dust kicked up by the impact had even settled, the howling wind came again from the right.

After dodging Lan Wangwang's thick arm with a spin, Ailin cleanly and decisively brought the chop down.

The sharp silver sword was like a silver lightning bolt.

Following the skin, muscles, nerves... after a slight resistance at the bone, it directly split the Drowners King's forearm in two.

Bright red blood, carrying a unique fragrance, gushed out from the severed veins and arteries.

"Bang!"

Dust was kicked up by the heavy arm.

"Croak!"

The intense pain from the severed arm caused the Drowners King to let out a shrill roar.

at the same time.

Ailin glanced down.

The Drowners King's webbed claws, interwoven with red and blue, twitched and struggled twice in the smoke and dust before returning to calm.

This Drowners King is indeed very weak!

Not only did he not use the Ice Lance Spell from a distance, he didn't even cast the blue magical shield that resembled the Quen Sign on himself.

Otherwise, it would have been almost impossible for Ailin to sever his arm.

"Is it because you disdain it?"

"Or does it simply lack the ability to cast spells?"

This brings to mind the so-called "Conjunction of the Spheres"...

perhaps...

This Drowners King was kept as a pet.

While thinking, Ailin bent his right middle finger and casually waved it to the right.

The horde of water ghosts, oblivious to the danger, charged forward, only to be pushed back by the semi-transparent shockwave for what seemed like the umpteenth time.

Compared to the Drowners King having his limbs severed by a single sword strike, Ailin even had to control the force when using the Alde Sign to push away these Water Demons.

Hunting Mission: Water Ghost II (Kill 496/500 Water Ghosts)

[Task Reward: Unknown]

In fact, he didn't know whether the Conjunction of the Spheres would occur after "Hunting Mission: Water Ghost II" was completed.

but...

Ailin glanced to his side.

Huus and Bont had just transformed into mist and passed through the iron fence, and Fred was still there.

For the safety of our companions, it's best to avoid these water ghosts for now.

At that moment, gasps of surprise erupted from the audience.

What did I see?

"That School of the Wolf witcher actually cut off that monster's arm!"

Although many timid and cautious wizards left due to the unexpected events.

but.

Some daring individuals, seeing that the "celestial interaction" had not affected them, returned to continue watching this rare spectacle.

"The Conjunction of the Spheres? Aren't you going to run?"

"Why run? Aren't all the monsters in the arena? It's a rare sight to see monsters and freaks killing each other..."

"And what Conjunction of the Spheres? That's something that only exists in history books!"

"Look at the king... this is clearly a premeditated assassination..."

"You mean..."

Shh~ Those who know, know...

The daring Sorcerer Apprentice witnessed the battle taking place in the main stands.

Ailin, who had been paying close attention, naturally saw it as well.

While drawing away the water ghosts and the Drowners King for the young witchers of the School of the Wolf, some of his attention was also on Soyer and the king.

He watched as Haxor was surrounded by his personal guard in the center.

The School of the Cat witcher, disguised as a bodyguard, was discovered secretly stabbing the Chief of the School of the Wolf...

Although the person was dressed very well, Ailin, whose School of the Cat Two-Handed Sword had reached LV5, could immediately recognize his sword style.

at last.

Ailin looked at the chief as if he were really helping the king capture the assassin.

In order to avoid affecting the king, they suppressed the School of the Cat witcher and marched towards a place far away from Haxor.

Only the assassin's personal guard armor and the King's Guard' intentional or unintentional lack of cooperation along the way subtly hinted at the two men's identities.

And who is the king's true enemy?

"Bang!"

Another Ald pushed aside the group of water ghosts.

Ailin twirled his sword, circling around the Drowners King, who was somewhat out of his mind due to his severed arm.

I'm planning to find an opportunity to resolve this.

suddenly.

Out of the corner of my eye.

A male wizard in a black robe and pointed hat walked out from behind the main stands and approached Haxor.

After exchanging a few words with the king, Ailin felt the wizard and the king glance at him simultaneously.

Immediately following.

The strange, pointed-topped sorcerer, clutching the pendant on his chest, moved his mouth up and down.

The royal guards surrounding the king moved stealthily, seemingly making way for a passage.

The passage leads directly to Soyer, who is unaware of his battle with the School of the Cat Witchers.

Not good!

His goal is to be the chief!

In a state of anxiety.

Ailin's mind raced.

After taking two steps back, he quickly pointed his right index finger at the surging water ghost.

A scalding heat surged from near his heart, flowed through his right hand, and then erupted as a fiery line of flame.

Instantly set the three water ghosts in front of him ablaze.

Immediately afterwards.

The next second,

Bend your left middle finger and push forward sharply.

Amidst the agonizing screams of the water ghost.

The telekinetic energy, precisely controlled by Divine Power, instantly fanned the flames.

The flames spread rapidly from the burning water ghost to the four or five water ghosts behind it.

In a short time.

In this corner where the Drowners King and Ailin were located, no Water Demon, who was afraid of fire, dared to approach.

and.

The flames he controlled were not powerful enough to kill these stubborn monsters, so he didn't need to worry about completing "Hunting Mission: Water Ghost II" and adding variables.

As for the Drowners King, who had lost half an arm and was on the verge of madness.

Getting close enough to kill him will be difficult.

But having lost his powerful right arm, Ailin found it exceptionally easy to dodge.

After gaining a moment, he mentally opened the Witcher's Handbook.

[Ding! Use Conjunction of the Spheres - Water Ghost (30-day cooldown)?]

The thought just popped into my head.

A huge, exquisitely green, elven-style door suddenly appeared before us.

Huh!

What was originally just a phantom of a translucent door now has a black spherical gem embedded on the left side of the door, appearing almost tangible.

Isn't this the fragment of the Ade Gais Gate that Sadia gave me before?

This fragment, after granting the skills of spatial control and blinking, has not been fully absorbed.

So many days have passed that Ailin had almost forgotten about it.

I never expected to see you here again.

Looking at the gemstone was like looking at a black hole, and one felt as if their Divine Power was being drawn out.

Startled, he immediately looked away.

At that moment, a multitude of questions flooded his mind...

but.

Now is not the time to carefully consider this fragment.

Ailin glanced in the direction of the young witcher.

Fred had already turned into mist and was just a hair's breadth away from passing through the iron fence.

then.

He no longer hesitated.

With a quick thought, he swiftly transferred the phantom image of what appeared to be "Ade Gais's Gate" to the main stands.

After confirming it with his mind, a banner that was so red it looked almost black appeared before his eyes.

[WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!]

[Fluctuations detected at the Conjunction of the Spheres! Fluctuations detected at the Conjunction of the Spheres!]

Behind the banner in sight.

The wizard wearing the pointed hat was still slightly moving his mouth; he hadn't finished chanting the spell.

Seeing this, Ailin thought viciously to himself:

"You like the Conjunction of the Spheres, right?"

"You still like the Drowners King?"

"Here's the real deal!"

The next second.

A deep black sphere appeared in the center of his vision.

The pointed-hat wizard, who was reciting the incantation, suddenly trembled violently, and his face turned deathly pale.

"Pfft~"

A mouthful of blood was spat out of his mouth.

It was sprayed directly onto Haxor's face.

King Kedwen's expression changed drastically, and he was about to unleash a torrent of curses.

Sudden.

Transparent ripples spread outwards from the black sphere in concentric circles.

When it touches the earth...

"Boom!"

A loud explosion.

It's unclear whether the earth is shaking space, or space is resonating with the earth.

A violent force, like that of a volcanic eruption, suddenly surged from the ground, violently flinging the creature standing upright into the air.

In the arena.

Apart from Ailin being able to stabilize his body thanks to his experience.

Both the one-armed Drowners King and the water ghost suddenly leaped into the air and then crashed heavily to the ground.

fortunately.

The arena appears to have been magically reinforced.

After a hazy magical glow appeared, the main body of the building did not collapse, but many fine cracks appeared on the walls and the ground.

However, the people in the stands were not so lucky.

Although the buildings beneath their feet mitigated the tremors, it was still difficult to avoid falling due to the violent shaking, resulting in head injuries and bleeding.

The most terrifying thing is the panic caused by a sudden natural disaster...

"What's going on?!"

"Earthquake!!!"

"Protect His Majesty! Protect His Majesty!"

After the earthquake, the crowd in the stands rushed toward the exits.

Many people were trampled and injured as a result.

Soyer and Tresius stopped fighting.

After all, both of them are among the world's top witchers, and this little disturbance is nothing to them!

Tresius's gaze was fixed on Soyer.

Soyer glanced thoughtfully at Jens, then looked at Ailin in the arena.

The corners of his mouth unconsciously curved into a smile.

The guards in the main stands were shouting that they would protect the king.

But amidst the Glutton's screams, one by one they were thrown onto Haxor's obese body by the violent jolts, making the king's screams even louder.

Their limit was simply to avoid piercing the king's body with their unsheathed swords.

As for Jens was very close to Haxor and the guards.

He could only watch, his face pale, as the wildly swung sword slashed at him, leaving one bloody gash after another.

The screams were louder than those from Haxor for a moment.

Avoiding a large gash on his neck from the unsheathed sword was also the limit of his ability to avoid the backlash from casting spells.

This was not a real earthquake, after all.

It lasted for about half a minute before gradually subsiding.

but.

Before the king's guards could even get up from their beloved king...

Lying on the ground, feeling half-dead, Haxor opened his eyes, his pupils dilated instantly, and his whole body trembled.

"A monster!"

"Protect the Emperor!"

He shouted.

Haxor desperately shoved the guards off him and scrambled toward the main stands.

However, one thing is not stable.

He fell to the ground in a sorry state, rolling three or four meters like a ball.

but.

It was precisely this disheveled behavior that saved him.

His guards hadn't yet figured out what madness their king was going through this time.

"Croak!"

The agonizing screams were deafening.

It rang out above their heads.

When they looked up at the sound, they saw a huge black shadow looming down on them.

Smack!

They were all crushed into meat patties with a thud.

Blood mixed with minced meat splattered onto Jens ' face.

He, however, remained oblivious, staring blankly at the monster before him, muttering in astonishment:

"The celestial... sphere convergence! The Conjunction of the Spheres! This is the true Conjunction of the Spheres!"

"Tch~"

"That damned king got off easy!"

Watching Haxor flee in a disheveled state, covered in dust, Ailin felt a deep sense of regret.

To be honest...

In this situation, it would be best if King Kedwen were to die.

No one in this world knows Ailin's secret.

Vesemir, Soyer, Vesemir, and perhaps Huus, Bont, and Fred —you might be able to guess a few of these people, but not many.

Moreover, apart from Soyer, they are all people that Ailin can completely trust.

Even Soyer,

Not only does he share the same stance as Ailin, but his character is also trustworthy, so Ailin has no worries.

If Haxor dies here.

The pot belongs to the Ban Aard Wizarding Academy, and of course, it also belongs to the School of the Cat, which disguises itself as an assassin.

But it's impossible for it to be from the consistently upright School of the Wolf.

At least on the surface, that's the case.

The crisis in Kaer Morhen was resolved immediately, not to mention...

At least the most threatening enemy is dead.

Ban Aard Academy is sure to be embroiled in a long and drawn-out wrangling with the royal family and nobles of Kedwen.

The School of the Wolf can gain a lot of time to develop.

"Why wasn't it Haxor who died?"

While feeling regretful in her heart again, Ailin took two steps forward without any mercy and waved Elsa.

A sharp, silvery light flashed.

The Earth Drowners King was dizzy after falling to the ground due to the earthquake.

Before he could even scream, his head was severed from his body.

The bright red blood stained the sand dark red, and a sweet fragrance filled the air.

It's a pity.

At this point, nobody noticed what was happening.

Everyone either screamed, froze, or were completely bewildered...

In a short time.

Chaos was the prevailing theme of the entire arena.

Until a certain moment.

Haxor suddenly struggled to his feet, his face filled with terror as he stared at the monster so close to him. He retreated hastily, shouting incoherently:

"Grandmaster, kill that monster quickly!"

"Kill that monster quickly!"

However, King Kedwen's voice did not summon Soyer, but instead startled the Drowners King from the dizziness of the Conjunction of the Spheres.

"Croak!"

With a roar, crimson eyes fixed on Haxor, who had made the sound.

The king's words caught in his throat.

This scene.

This caused the entire arena to fall silent instantly.

As the two "kings" gazed at each other with deep affection, Ailin held his breath, and his heart pounded faster and faster.

"Kill him, Drowners King!"

"Kill him now!"
