Beast Roar: Life Whisper

The moment Ailin's gaze fell upon the Stoneheart of the Path of the Beast Roar...

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The veins were throbbing, making a vibration like a heartbeat.

Moreover, as time went on, the commotion grew increasingly large.

The heart-pounding vibrations gradually became wilder, like tribal people in blood-stained animal skin clothes beating animal skin drums.

It was as if an ancient, slumbering beast was awakening from a wild dream, growling as it opened its eyes.

The entire interface of the Path of the Beast Roar trembled as a result.

In a daze, Ailin felt as if he were in ancient times.

One moment of carelessness.

A behemoth from the wilderness, its body covered in old scars from battle, would smash through the walls of the Wooden Hut, charging toward him as he took a bath, spewing debris, blood, and dust along with it.

It's somewhat scary...

He wasn't talking about the imagined behemoth; how could Ailin, who had just killed an "Evil God," be frightened by this?

Although the witcher's hut was a bit out of the way, there were still quite a few priestesses passing by.

If that were to happen, he would not hesitate to commit suicide.

"Such a big commotion?"

Ailin stared in astonishment at the change before him, somewhat caught off guard.

Because the price of 100 Experience Orbs was too high, he had deliberately ignored the skill tree panel of the Path of the Beast Roar since he last unlocked "Beast Roar: Primal Tongue".

Since I don't have money, there's not much point in watching this.

I never expected that when I opened it again after more than a month, there would be such a unique welcome "ceremony".

It has to be said that, whether it's the gold-quality @#￥%&'s Chest or the skill tree of the Path of the Beast Roar in front of us, the Witcher's Handbook has always been flashy and high-class.

The panel is still changing.

The topmost nodule, representing "Beast Roar: Berserk," suddenly glowed with a scarlet light.

The light surged down the veins, illuminating "Beast Roar: Primal Tongue," and instead of stopping, it seemed to merge into another stream.

The crimson light surged forth like a tsunami crashing against a dam, hurtling straight toward the three smaller nodules following "Beast Roar: Primal Tongue," representing "Beast Roar: Life Whisper," "Beast Roar: Trap Perception," and "Beast Roar: Scent Masking."

"Clang!"

A loud bang.

The crimson light, after being diverted, struck the three nodules, producing a resounding clang of metal striking metal.

However, unsurprisingly, it didn't break open.

"What am I expecting?" Ailin gave a bitter laugh, his tense body collapsing back against the tub wall.

"Roar--"

A furious roar of resentment rang in my ears.

The Path of the Beast Roar panel shook again, and the nodule after [Beast Roar: Life Whisper] flashed for a moment with the words [Beast Roar: No Air].

"All flash and no substance..."

"Um!"

Ailin had just made a complaint when his eyes suddenly widened and he abruptly stood up from the bathtub.

"Whoosh~"

The hot water in the bathtub followed his body and splashed onto the ground, creating large sprays of water.

Half the room was wet.

However, he didn't care and didn't have time to think about it. After taking a bath, he still had to clean the stuffy room.

Because the number ninety-three lit up on the three small nodules representing [Beast Roar: Life Whisper], [Beast Roar: Trap Perception], and [Beast Roar: Scent Masking].

Ailin hesitated for half a second, focusing his thoughts on [Beast Roar: Life Whisper].

[Ding! Spend 93 Experience Orbs to unlock "Beast Roar: Life Whisper"?]

"How come I spent seven fewer Experience Orbs?" he asked in surprise.

I've had the Witcher's Handbook for half a year now, and this is the first time I've seen a return on my investment.

"Is it because of 'Beast Roar: Berserk' and 'Beast Roar: Primal Tongue '?" This was the only possibility Ailin could think of.

His training in those two beast roars lowered the requirements for mastering the next beast roar.

That makes sense.

The One-Eyed Clan also lacks Witcher's Handbook, so how do they cultivate the Path of the Beast Roar?

and...

Ailin attempted to observe the skill tree of the Path of the Beast Roar from the perspective of the One-Eyed Clan.

A solidified stone heart, a network of interconnected veins, and an orderly distribution of beastly roars...

perhaps...

This skill tree for the Path of the Beast Roar was not created out of thin air by the Witcher's Handbook; it's not a meaningless visual.

Rather, it was after he was manipulated by a mysterious thought during that cutscene from the One-Eyed Clan, a scene whose authenticity was uncertain, that he praised the One-Eyed Clan's god Shagdarzhab, and reached his hands into the head of the giant beast named King Kano...

The "skill tree" known as the Path of the Beast Roar had already taken root within him.

The Witcher's Handbook merely reveals his physical form, allowing one to use Experience Orbs to trigger the next beast roar.

But in essence, he was cultivating the Path of the Beast Roar.

This is a strange statement; of course, he is practicing the Path of the Beast Roar.

Well...

Ailin suddenly remembered the School of the Wolf Two-Handed Sword, Ice Lance Spell, Igni, Quen— these were all common skills.

These skills, before being inscribed in the Witcher's Handbook, can be learned and practiced to reduce the Experience Orbs required to unlock them.

But once the Witcher's Handbook was inscribed on it, no matter how much he practiced, his experience bar remained unchanged.

Strangely enough.

On the Monster Hunting Legion, every bit of progress Ernie, Klar, and Kray make is converted into experience points and displayed on their respective panels.

What does this tell us?

In fact, he could feel the progress when he practiced these ordinary skills.

But the Witcher's Handbook is like an arrogant and lazy approver.

He doesn't care how much progress you've made, or how far you are from the next level's "certificate." You have to pay the "fee" for the entire level before he'll give you the next level's "certificate" and related knowledge.

Even though he had already practiced, summarized, and gained some of this knowledge.

The Monster Hunting Legion, however, are "outsiders" of the same or higher level, so the approvers will be more restrained, showing all the necessary progress and only accepting the "Combat Points" needed by Ernie, Klar, and the others.

That's very humane.

Although the Witcher's Handbook revealed some sharp tongues in its notes on recipes and items, it never showed any signs of wisdom.

But for some reason, he has a unique temperament that is both aloof and languid.

So...

What is the Path of the Beast Roar in the eyes of the Witcher's Handbook, this "arrogant and lazy approver"?

"Phew~"

Ailin let out a long breath, calming his excited emotions.

"The secrets of the Path of the Beast Roar may not be much less than those in the Witcher's Handbook..." he thought. "However, whether it is true, as I suspect, that the reduced need for Experience Orbs is due to the practice of 'Beast's Roar: Berserk' and 'Beast's Roar: Primal Tongue ', still needs to be verified."

"I'll have to check the Path of the Beast Roar regularly from now on..."

The strange events have come to an end.

Ailin turned his attention back to the Path of the Beast Roar skill tree, which exuded a wild aura.

Although practicing might reduce Experience Orbs, he didn't intend to save them.

Experience Orbs are meant to save time and improve efficiency; we shouldn't put the cart before the horse.

In addition, the development of the Beast Roar takes time, and it will be too late to unlock it when it is needed.

He had a sudden thought.

[Ding! Spend 93 Experience Orbs to unlock "Beast Roar: Life Whisper"?]

"Bang!"

The vein in the middle trembled, and a scarlet light flashed, instantly surging up and violently striking the gray dot, causing it to tremble and turn red.

The next moment.

A flood of information rushed into my mind.

[Title: Life Whisper]

[Type: Beast Roar]

[Learning Requirements: Introduction to the Path of the Beast Roar, mastery of "Beast Shout: Berserk" and "Beast Shout: Primal Tongue"]

[Passive effect: Maintains the power flow of "Beast Roar: Life Whisper" daily, can]

1. Slowly improve physical attributes.

2. Keenly perceive hostility from the surroundings.

[Active Effect: Consumes energy to conceal all living things within its perception range.]

[Note: Do Witchers not die from assassination?]

All living things within the "range"...

How large is the area?

Ailin thought for a moment, then closed his eyes.

"Thump~"

"Thump~"

The heart beats gently with a unique rhythm, almost at the same frequency as a normal heartbeat, but if you listen carefully, you can hear a different kind of sound.

Golden specks of light emerged from the slightly stagnant blood.

The moment it merges with the blood-red energy emanating from the bone marrow.

"Uirs..."

It was as if he had only let out a light breath.

Silently, Ailin's thoughts seemed to drift to the infinite distance in an instant.

When he came to his senses.

The surrounding area was covered in layers of bright red.

Location, place, temperature, race...

A flood of information entered his mind, leaving Ailin, who was still in the weakened state of "Beast Roar: Berserk," feeling dizzy and disoriented.

A moment later, he quickly focused his mind and blocked out unnecessary information.

In an instant.

Suddenly, a radar-like topographic map appeared in Ailin's mind, densely covered with red dots of varying contrasts.

The deeper red represents the temple priests and the Sorceress of Aretuza; the lighter red represents ordinary people; and the even lighter red represents the wounded soldiers...

"Hiss~"

As he observed, Ailin gasped.

Because he discovered that the detection range of "Beast Roar: Life Whisper" actually included the entire temple.

The Temple of Melitele was not a small temple with just a few buildings, but a large complex, almost like a small city.

"Besides, I'm weak right now. Once I'm fully recovered, how wide will the Life Whisper be?"

Ailin opened his eyes in a daze, only to find a simple wooden screen blocking his view.

However, a red figure was reflected on the screen.

Place your hands on your knees and kneel in mid-air.

"It's Vesemir ..." Ailin immediately recognized the figure.

Tilting his head again.

Several smaller red figures intersected, separated, and then overlapped.

He closed his eyes.

"...Hugh... Kray ... Ernie ... Klar ..." One name after another came out, and Ailin was very certain that those figures whose identities were indistinguishable, and even whose genders were unclear, were the people he was talking about.

"Not bad, not bad, you didn't slack off just because Vesemir and I weren't here..."

After making a comment, he couldn't help but get excited.

He originally thought that "Beast Roar: Life Whisper" was just an add-on to "Beast Roar: No-Fly", but he didn't expect it to be a damn "infrared" cheat that could see the whole map.

If the setting weren't in the Witcher world, but in modern times.

With the ability "Beast Roar: Life Whisper," he is undoubtedly a king of soldiers and a god of death on the battlefield.

A whole host of ingenious ideas suddenly popped into Ailin's mind.

"Not only that, there's also a passive state. As long as I can maintain the 'Beast Roar: Life Whisper ' passive state daily, no assassin can get close to me..."

My thoughts went blank for a moment, a strong wave of dizziness washed over me, and all the red shadows in my vision vanished instantly.

It took Ailin quite a while to recover.

"Eh~"

He sighed, "I hope this weakness passes quickly; it's really unbearable."

Suppressing the intense drowsiness that overwhelmed him by dizziness, he reopened the skill tree of the Path of the Beast Roar.

My gaze immediately fell on the two small nodules next to "Beast Roar: Life Whisper": [Beast Roar: Trap Perception] and [Beast Roar: Scent Masking].

[Ding! Spend 93 Experience Orbs to unlock "Beast Roar: Trap Perception"?]

[Ding! Spend 93 Experience Orbs to unlock "Beast Roar: Scent Masking"?]

Nothing has changed.

Ailin breathed a sigh of relief.

That's good enough; the main vein's roar will not negate the "benefits" of other veins.

Under the premise of promoting the main lineage of Path of the Beast Roar, the Experience Orbs required for practical Beast Roars in other lines will also decrease continuously.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. The reason why the Experience Orbs are decreasing is probably due to his understanding of the Path of the Beast Roar.

After mastering the Beast Roar, it's fine if it doesn't increase your understanding, but it shouldn't decrease it either.

He even had a guess.

Could his study and practice of "Beast Roar: Life Whisper" also reduce the Experience Orbs required for these two beast roars?

If that's the case, perhaps those branch beast roars won't require spending Experience Orbs to unlock quickly.

"It still needs time to verify..." he thought to himself.

"Gurgle~ gurgle~"

As the water gradually cooled, it was re -Igni Sign, causing bubbles to rise at a suitable temperature.

"The moment has finally come."

Ailin took a deep breath, shifted his attention to the large nodule following "Beast Roar: Life Whisper," and then focused his mind.

[Ding! Spend 193 Experience Orbs to unlock "Beast Roar: No-Fly"?]

One hundred and ninety-three Experience Orbs?!

Ailin's eyes widened.

That meant he originally needed two hundred Experience Orbs, twice as many as he had imagined.

Yes...

The first Beast Roar: Primal Tongue, is free; the second Beast Roar: Life Whisper 100 Experience Orbs ...

The idea that one hundred Experience Orbs could connect all the beast roars was just wishful thinking on his part.

It's only natural that the difficulty and cost are increasing.

He turned his attention to the inventory.

[Experience Orbs: 78 Experience Orbs, 4002 Lesser Experience Orbs]

"A total of 118 Experience Orbs, still 82 short..." He muttered as he got out of the bathtub, dried himself, and put on his clothes. "There are still many ghouls to kill in the Mahakam Mountains, and many treasure chests to open..."

"Eighty-two will be quick."

The intense yet exquisite flames dried up the water on the ground.

After his obsession dissipated, the physical weakness made Ailin unable to resist the drowsiness any longer.

He rolled over and got into bed.

Soon, the soft bed brought on a hazy sleepiness, causing him to close his eyes.

Then he fell asleep.

Then he arrived at a dark place where the sky was completely dark.

Then...

The longsword, gleaming with an eerie light, pierced his brow.
