The Path of the Beast Roar's Great Advancement! Limit: Origin! The Source of the Divine Link (4,200 Words)

"Hmph~"

The violent force suddenly stopped, and Ailin groaned, feeling as if his heart skipped a beat.

The cold System Notification in his ear made him open his eyes immediately.

The sun blazed outside the window, casting golden rays through the gaps between the wooden window and its frame, illuminating the room.

Tiny dust particles danced in the brilliant sunlight.

"The sun has already risen... it has already risen?" Ailin was stunned.

I came back last night after having dinner with Vesemir and Klar in the canteen.

It only took an hour to wipe Elsa and Balmor.

Around 10 o'clock, he began to try to understand the true meaning of "Beast Roar: Berserk".

So, this time, he actually maintained "Beast Roar: Berserk" for nearly six hours.

What does this mean?

As long as Ailin runs it once in the morning and once at noon, he can enjoy a 50% increase in the casting speed of "Beast Roar: Berserk" and a 20% increase in the roar intensity and range of "Beast Roar: Berserk".

This is no small improvement!

Given the normal speed of "Beast Roar: Berserk", it takes at least four or five seconds to fully unleash, making it easy to be interrupted.

But if you pay attention to just two seconds, you'll be more than twice as safe.

Not to mention the substantial 20% increase in strength and range of action.

However, the effects still needed to be tested. Ailin was only slightly pleased, then with a thought...

The translucent, antique pages materialized before my eyes.

Name: Ailin

[HP: 100%, Stamina: 900/900, MP: 1190/1190]

[Attributes: Strength 99 (+5), Agility 84 (+6), Constitution 90 (+5), Perception 88, Mysticism 119]

A sixteen-point attribute boost overnight is comparable to the Heart Essence Fluid of hunting a large monster, especially the ones with a large boost.

"The Path of the Beast Roar I found the trick to is really powerful," Ailin thought to himself. "It's also fortunate that I noticed it when I was helping Vesemir and Ernie to inscribe their war cries yesterday."

"Otherwise, who would have thought that the true meaning of 'Beast Roar: Berserk' is not about being aroused by uncontrollable rage during battle, but rather about suppressing the power of the beast roar to the extreme during cultivation, so that the power of the beast roar is suppressed and 'berserk'..."

"Just like a spring, the greater the accumulated force, the more potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy..."

"But then again..."

"'Beast Roar: Berserk' is, after all, just an introductory beast roar in the Path of the Beast Roar. The One-Eyed Clan can't improve their strength like I do with the Witcher's Handbook. They rely solely on this beast roar to cultivate."

"Only in extreme anger can one break through. The One-Eyed Clan probably wouldn't have even reached the point of the splendor of the endless tents in the cutscenes; they've long since perished."

Thinking of the arduous process of uncovering the true meaning of "rage," Ailin shook his head:

"It really does prove the old saying, 'A single sentence of true teaching is worth more than ten thousand books'..."

"I wonder if other beast roars in the Path of the Beast Roar can break through and operate in this way. If not..."

He murmured to himself, tapping his knee with his index finger, and lowered his head in contemplation.

A moment later.

"The teaching of the Path of the Battle Roar must not stop!" Ailin made up his mind. "I alone may not be able to understand it, and may even get stuck in a dead end, but as long as there are more people practicing it, someone will always find the trick and find another way."

As for whether or not the secret will be leaked.

Firstly, the scope of instruction is limited to within the Monster Hunting Legion. Secondly, this unique method of instruction can only be mastered by Ailin himself, who possesses the Wolf Emblem, understands Witcher, and can roar like a beast. It can be considered a unique form of encryption.

"The only thing that needs to be confirmed is whether the Path of the Battle Roar can be cultivated like the Path of the Beast Roar, and whether the methods of breakthrough are the same."

"In addition..."

Ailin's expression shifted.

The reason I was able to find the method to teach "Battle Cry: Berserk" in such a short time is because of the @#￥%&'s Element I absorbed from the big-eyed Evil God last night.

Aside from the "primordial" changes in the Mutated Organ, there was a moment when I was practicing "Beast Roar: Berserk" and contemplating the simplified transmission of the teaching.

Suddenly, a vast, expansive, and warm source connected to his mind.

The steps for initiating the Battle Cry during the day suddenly filled my mind.

Moreover, he was so skilled that it was as if he were an old priest of the One-Eyed Clan who was responsible for teaching war cries, and had done the same process thousands of times.

Otherwise, even if he knew the process, the complex operating techniques would still require a considerable amount of time to familiarize himself with and practice.

However, the link was immediately closed as soon as the information was transmitted, and Ailin didn't even realize what had happened at the time.

He then tried using "Beast Roar: Primal Tongue" and "Beast Roar: Life Whisper," as well as other signs, spells, incantations, knowledge, rituals, and so on, but he could no longer connect to that vast source.

But he felt...

The source must be a change that is more important than the "original" transformation of Mutated Organ.

Or rather...

The primordialization of Mutated Organ is merely a byproduct of linking to the "source".

At his current level, he hasn't even figured out the Primal Magic yet, so how could he talk about the "source"?

"Let's not think about that too much for now. If we use it often, we'll eventually see the true nature of those 'elements,' 'original,' and 'source'..."

Ailin took a deep breath, his gaze returning to the semi-transparent panel, to the bright red "99" value, and sighed.

"As expected, even for me, attributes have their limits."

"So what should I do next? Raise all the other attributes to ninety-nine, and then I can break through?"

Thinking of the cold System Notification after the berserk power ended, a thought struck him.

"Bite!"

"'Attribute: Strength' has reached its limit - Initial stage. Please seek an opportunity to improve yourself."

The blood-red font is exactly the same as the "99".

Ailin read the short line of text silently to himself several times, and gradually frowned.

It's not because of other physical attributes that are a burden, but because it hasn't been...

"Complete?" Ailin muttered to himself. "If it's about 'completing,' then it means the current state is 'incomplete,' so I'm not whole?"

"Limit Beginning" is also questionable. If there is a Limit Beginning, then could there also be a Limit Middle, Limit End, etc.?

So what is the true limit?

"No," Ailin shook his head, "The question of whether the limit is the limit or not is not important at all. The key is when and what the 'opportunity' for finding a way to complete the task is."

"If the completion refers to the soul of the original owner who, upon my rebirth, didn't know where he was reincarnated to..."

"Even when the ' White Frost ' arrives, it won't be enough to repair it."

Thinking of this.

Ailin got out of bed and paced restlessly in the small room.

"That can't be!"

"While the Witcher's Handbook may rob you of some Experience Orbs and monster hearts, it has never assigned any impossible quests..."

"Complete..."

"Complete..."

"Complete..."

Etc!

With a "thud" of leather boots stepping on the wooden planks, Ailin had a flash of inspiration and stopped in front of the window.

The scorching sunlight shone directly onto his rough eyebrows through the gaps between the wooden planks.

"... Complete... Perhaps what's being completed isn't me, but this body, this... body of a demon hunter transformed from a human..."

"Second Mutation!"

The joy of finally finding the right path after countless twists and turns echoed in the Wooden Hut.

The Cat Eyes stared intently at the beam of light, at the dust stirred up by his anxious actions.

"Since it can undergo Second Mutation, then as a Witcher, it is certainly not complete!"

After having a highly probable guess, Ailin's slightly anxious heart immediately calmed down.

"It's time to start digging into Thomas Molu's laboratory in Toussaint," he thought.

"Toussaint..."

"Vesemir also went to Toussaint, could it be...?"

"No way," Ailin immediately dismissed his own thought. "If that were the case, Vesemir would have told me beforehand, especially since the Chief mentioned it more than a month ago, right after we returned to Kaer Morhen ..."

Thomas Maurice is being very stubborn; Vesemir has already contacted a master interrogator.

"Perhaps..."

"That master interrogator happens to be from Toussaint."

He clicked his tongue, pondered for a few seconds, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Otherwise, when Lady Vesemir said goodbye to him and he casually asked why she was going, the topic wouldn't have been intentionally or unintentionally diverted.

But if that's really the reason...

Ailin pursed his lips speechlessly. "We were just transmigrated here, and there was already a pre-arranged 'investor' and 'investee' relationship, so why does Lady Vesemir always treat people like children..."

"This isn't the mindset of a mature investor..."

"As a monster hunter who deals with monsters every day and whose monsters have died countless times under Elsa's sword, do you think I can't stand 'interrogation' and 'torture'?"

Of course, it's also possible that they're looking for a psychologist for the chief, if that profession existed in the Witcher world.

"I'm not going to think about it anymore. Whether Lady Vesemir goes to pick up the interrogation experts or not, it's good to have a direction. Even if she doesn't, or even if the interrogation experts she brings back don't succeed in the interrogation..."

"I still have the White Widow's mutation formula as a backup..."

[Name: White Widow Mutation Formula]

[Requirements: Xenogeneic Mutagenesis LV8, Alchemy LV5]

[Note: Thomas Maurice's proudest masterpiece was the mutation of Giant Centipede eggs into Insectoid Creature he personally named the White Widow, which was the culmination of his life's wisdom.]

"After all, the notes mention 'the proudest masterpiece of my life' and 'the crystallization of my life's wisdom,' and the main ingredient of the Second Mutation is the mutant centipede protein of the White Widow. Therefore, the core of the Second Mutation must be closely related to this mutation formula."

"The only missing element, Xenogeneic Mutagenesis, has already been unlocked from the ' Sorcerer's Memory,' so the conditions for learning Xenogeneic Mutagenesis are basically complete."

"But the requirements for Xenogeneic Mutagenesis Level 8 and Alchemy Level 5 are too high."

Ailin remained silent for a moment.

Alchemy is alright, I'm only one level short, but I always need to improve because of all the magic potions, Sword Oil, and other magical substances.

However, unlocking the Xenogeneic Mutagenesis requires fifty Experience Orbs, and upgrading from LV1 to LV8 requires nearly two hundred Experience Orbs, totaling two hundred and fifty Experience Orbs.

"Too many!" He shook his head, somewhat embarrassed.

Not only because of the number of Experience Orbs required, but also because Xenogeneic Mutagenesis have almost no other function besides Second Mutation.

It would certainly take him a lot of time to develop the White Widow Mutation Formula and the Second Mutation.

"It's impossible." Ailin dismissed his own idea.

The Wild Hunt hadn't even launched a large-scale attack yet, and there was still no sign of White Frost. He was already so busy that he simply didn't have the time to settle down and study.

It's not good value for money.

"But if we can't get Thomas Molu to talk, we'll have to unlock it..."

He thought for a while, and suddenly an idea struck him:

"But once I unlock the recipe, I don't necessarily have to research it myself..."

"And then again, even if we manage to get Thomas Molu to talk, the research on Second Mutation still has to continue."

"Nobody knows whether there will be a third or fourth mutation after the Second Mutation..."

"But even if Thomas Molu revealed his lab in Toussaint, he certainly wouldn't help me with the research, and I wouldn't dare let him do it."

Upon thinking about it, Ailin was immediately taken aback.

"It seems there's really no way to save these 250 Experience Orbs."

"And what about that team researching Second Mutation? Lady Vesemir isn't an expert in Xenogeneic Mutagenesis, so where am I supposed to go..."

Ailin paused for a moment, then gave a wry smile:

"Looks like there's another reason why I have to go to Aretuza."

yes.

Throughout the entire Northern Continent, apart from Ban Ade and the Riesberg Group Civil Cooperative, only Aretuza gathers the most Sorceress on the Northern Continent, has the capability to conduct research on Second Mutation.

Considering the varying degrees of closeness and distance, the School of the Wolf only has the Aretuza Academy as an option.

Of course, there are many factors to consider when hiring the Sorceress of Aretuza.

The explanation ranged from the origins of the White Widow Mutation Formula, how to conceal it from Ben Ade, and how to persuade Tissaia de Veris and the Brotherhood of Sorcerers...

Factors ranging from the employment intentions of Sorceress apprentices skilled in Xenogeneic Mutagenesis to others.

Each of these is an enormous problem for Ailin right now.

For example, it attracted Sorceress apprentices to Kaer Morhen for research.

What attracts a group of School of the Wolf, whether openly or covertly, or simply driven by a sense of superiority, who consider themselves demon hunters and artifact creators?

Dozens of pile drivers wearing menacing wolf heads?

To be honest, after considering many options, Ailin was surprised to find that this one was actually the most reliable.

After all, the School of the Wolf already has an example, right there in the Alchemy Room on the second floor of the north tower.

Other plans that used money, fame, status, etc., were not as reliable as this seemingly joking scheme.

Because the School of the Wolf has neither money, fame, nor political status, at least not for the Sorceress of Aretuza who are truly accomplished in Xenogeneic Mutagenesis.

"However, it's not that there's no chance at all. The Wild Hunt's arrival and the magical tide that will inevitably change due to the Conjunction of the Spheres are both opportunities."

"For witchers, the best of times is coming..."

Ailin, his index finger unconsciously followed the wood grain on the windowsill, climbing up the dazzling golden beam of light that slanted down from west to east.

Etc!

He suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Smack!

He suddenly pushed the window open.

The scorching summer sun shone directly into the cottage from the western sky.

"West side..."

Ailin murmured something, then his eyes widened suddenly.

"It's already past noon!"

"Etc!"

Looking out the window at the tranquil and beautiful temple scenery, he suddenly realized something:

"Where is Vesemir?"
