You Think I'm Alone?
The waters of Ghost Lake shimmer with a deep blue light.
Fish, aquatic plants, blue stones...
After taking the Killer Whale Potion, everything underwater is beautiful.
Unfortunately, none of the three witcher apprentices were interested in the beautiful scenery of the lake.
"Buzz~ Buzz~ Buzz~"
The resounding sound reached underwater.
The Witcher apprentice could sense the source of the sound, which quickly moved from in front of the three to the left, continuing to move in the direction they were concerned about.
After exchanging glances, the three of them pressed themselves against the rock wall and quietly poked their heads out of the water.
A tall, humanoid monster was carrying a large tree and charging towards the pile of rocks where Ailin was.
Compared to the Cyclops, Ailin was like a kitten that had just been born, easily crushed with a single step.
"Ah!"
Huus couldn't help but gasp softly, instinctively wanting to swim towards Ailin, but then he froze.
Even if he went there, what could he possibly do to help him?
This question firmly occupied his mind.
After thinking for only a moment, Huus turned back and gestured to Bont and Fred before quietly swimming toward the cave.
They cannot waste the time that Ailin has saved for them.
The sooner they enter the cave, the sooner Ailin can escape.
"Pat-pat~ pat-pat~"
After quietly getting ashore, the three of them couldn't help but look back.
"Ailin is so strong, she'll definitely be fine!"
This statement doesn't sound like advice to others; it sounds more like a statement to boost one's own confidence.
Huus gritted his teeth and clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
Without waiting for Fred and Bont's reply, he took the lead and ran into the dark cave.
The two left behind exchanged a glance and then silently followed suit.
Is Ailin really going to be alright?
The two harbored doubts.
However, they did not turn back.
Otherwise, they worry they won't be able to contain themselves and will internally curse themselves as "cowards."
"Bang!"
Ailin suddenly retreated, wedged himself in a crevice, and dodged the tree trunk that the Cyclops swung at him.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw three witcher apprentices run into the cave, and the witcher apprentices secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Huus, Bont, and Fred were among the first members of Ailin's School of the Wolf.
In the School of the Wolf, where the total number of Witchers is less than a hundred, having three Witchers supporting him, plus Vesemir and the Chief, makes many things much easier.
His biggest worry was that the three of them would act impulsively and swim over to help him.
That would be a real dead end for him.
"Thump~"
The ground suddenly trembled violently, and a large shadow completely covered Ailin.
The Witcher apprentice looked up warily.
The blue Cat Eyes instantly contracted into a vertical line.
A huge mountain of flesh was falling from the sky toward him.
Ailin knew that if he were hit squarely by the Old Spearhead, he might not even have a chance to consider whether he could travel to the next world.
He quickly rolled to the right and hid again in the gap between the two boulders.
"Boom!"
A loud noise came from his side, causing the Witcher Apprentice's eardrums to throb, and his body was surrounded by a hail of flying rubble.
Before the dust settled and before the Old Spearhead could find any trace of him, he was about to leave along the edge of the boulder.
Before quietly leaving, he cast an assessment shot at the massive shadow shrouded in smoke and dust.
[Name: Cyclops]
[grade:?]
[Attributes: Strength?, Agility 9, Constitution?, Perception 7, Mysticism 7]
"What's the use of this?"
The information provided by the appraisal skill was almost useless, which almost made Ailin lose his temper and invest his last remaining Special Skill points in it.
However, this Special Skill point, whether invested in Witcher or Tracking, can significantly alter the strength of a Witcher apprentice.
The only thing I can't do is focus on authentication techniques.
No matter how complete the attributes are, the difficulty of defeating the Cyclops will not decrease by the slightest.
Although its level is unknown, just like the Drowners King, its attributes are inferior to the Drowners King's except for strength and constitution.
Of course, this is still not something that Ailin can hunt alone.
If it weren't for the fact that the School of the Wolf Two-Handed Sword technique was specifically created for hunting monsters...
After leveling up to LV3, in addition to having more swift swordsmanship and stronger control over the body,
The transmitted memories also included some basic dodging and coping methods for large monsters.
Ailin couldn't say for sure at this moment...
Well, dodging Old Spearhead's attacks isn't actually that difficult.
Especially in the rubble he had chosen.
The Cyclops, not known for his senses, could not easily spot the Witcher apprentice hiding among the rocks.
Ailin circled around the Old Spearhead among several Big Stone.
The so-called "large body, weak gate".
These giant monsters are most afraid of narrow and complex terrain.
Given Ailin's current size, he could play hide-and-seek with Old Spearhead like this in this pile of rocks until dark.
"Roar!"
Extreme rage and anger emanated from his roar.
"Bang! Bang!..."
Large amounts of wood chips and gravel flew over Ailin's head.
The Cyclops was taking his anger out on the hard rocks on the ground.
"As expected of a low-intelligence monster, it can't even control its own emotions."
Unfortunately, he couldn't kill the Cyclops on his own.
Especially considering that the Old Spearhead was still wielding a four- or five-meter-long giant club.
[Demon Hunter] requires constant focus on the target, and his method of dodging makes it difficult to achieve that.
"If only Vesemir were here..." the Witcher apprentice thought to himself with regret.
Unfortunately Witcher Master can't be here.
Even if he were here, he wouldn't help him hunt down "Old Spearhead".
after all.
The Old Spearhead was clearly carefully selected.
High strength and physical fitness pose a sufficiently powerful threat.
With low agility, low perception, and low mystery, even a low-attribute witcher apprentice can escape from it as long as they calm down from their fear.
This challenge tests a Witcher apprentice's luck, courage, and composure.
So even if they don't happen to encounter a monster that is asleep, the apprentices still have a chance to escape.
Just like he is now.
Unfortunately, Ailin didn't want to escape.
He wanted to try and see if he could hunt down this large monster.
"It's been about ten minutes, so it shouldn't affect Huus and the others."
Ailin hid between the rocks and the riverbank, murmuring softly.
"Phew~"
The Witcher apprentice exhaled a breath of stale air.
While keeping an eye on the Old Spearhead's heavy footsteps, he mentally opened the Monster Bestiary in the Witcher's Handbook.
[Ding! Use Conjunction of the Spheres - Water Ghost (30-day cooldown)?]
With a change of heart, the semi-transparent prompt in front of him disappeared.
The Witcher apprentice was about to enter the water to avoid the impending violent tremor.
Suddenly, a huge, exquisite, emerald-green door, somewhat resembling an elven style, appeared before them.
It moved with the Witcher apprentice's gaze, appearing in different places before him.
"Is this asking me to choose the location where the Conjunction of the Spheres?" Ailin wondered.
Without much thought, the Witcher apprentice placed the door in his mind.
Immediately afterwards, he drank a bottle of Killer Whale and dived into the Killer Lake beside him.
"Splash!"
The moment he entered the water.
A banner, so red it was almost black, appeared in the blue world before my eyes...
