Although the power of this Sword Qi tornado seems very impressive, Dick feels that it seems to have other functions.

He carefully reviewed the details just now and found that the Sword Qi vortex showed abnormal dual characteristics:

The outer layer is a high-speed rotating cutting storm, but the inner core forms a vacuum confinement field.

Those struggling fish schools were thrown to the top under the action of centrifugal force, like insects trapped in amber. This may explain why the creatures were not crushed instantly...

Sword Qi is gradually increasing its destructive power through this layered structure.

Dick couldn't help but think to himself when he thought of this:

From now on, if I encounter a powerful enemy and a Sword Qi tornado cannot crush him, while he is swept into the air, then I...

In short, let's call this trick [Pendor Great Tornado]!

I'm such a genius at naming!

The panel will pop up prompts at appropriate times:

Kill Drowner X1 and get Energy Points X2. The current total is Energy Points X350.

"Tsk, there is still a fish that slipped through the net." Dick laughed at himself and took back his sword.

Dick turned around and saw two demon hunters staring directly at him, so he subconsciously took a step back.

"Dick, why does your Sword Qi look so many times stronger than mine?" Geralt asked with wide eyes.

"Dick should be Swordsmanship who is better than you." Russell on the side added.

"I don't think so." Little Yennefer was chatting with Sel and his wife just now. Naturally, he heard the loud noise made by Dick's waterspout.

"The two Swordsmanship have similar attainments, but Dick has great physical fitness, so Sword Qi has stronger power."

Geralt's knuckles turned white when he clenched them unconsciously. The pride forged from many years of demon hunting career was colliding fiercely with the cruel reality.

He remembered that at the banquet three days ago, the demon hunter vision that he was so proud of was unable to capture the actions of Higher Vampire, and the Sword Qi that Dick had just waved directly condensed a small hurricane.

This gap is not a gap in skills, but a transformation in the essence of life.

Dick rubbed his chin and said to the two of them:

"If you want to improve your physical fitness, maybe when I become a master of alchemy in the future, I can combine and improve diluting materials like Dragon Tear Gem with various other materials, so that you can reach a higher level."

Dick drew a pie out of thin air, because he caught a glimpse of Geralt's dull eyes and instantly understood what the Witcher actor was thinking.

Of course, Geralt has no malicious intent:

His thoughts were like when he was studying, he was the second in the class and excitedly held the test paper, wanting to show off to the first that he only got one question wrong...

But he discovered that the first place student had perfect scores in all subjects, and he could master any Olympiad question asked by the teacher.

Only then did he realize that the first place got full marks just because there were only so many questions on the test paper.

"Okay, Dick, you are our leader." Geralt cheered up again, "I can count on you to improve my strength in the future."

"Then you have to work hard yourself." Dick smiled and patted his arm, "I'll try it again Signs."

He looked at the corpse of Drowner floating on the gradually calming lake. He quickly danced the seal with his right hand, and azure magic lines bloomed in the palm of his hand, and quickly sent a cold cone-shaped shock wave forward.

Russell, which is closest to Dick, only feels that the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped by 3 degrees.

He saw that wherever the cold current pushed by the spiral shock wave passed, pattern-like ice formed on the lake surface.

The remains of the hit Drowner were blown to pieces.

There are some ice slag attached to the broken red and white sections, and even the water flow near Drowner has condensed a few ice cubes.

"What kind of trick is this?" Geralt said in disbelief.

"Piercing Cold Shockwave."

Dick is satisfied:

Now it seems that the power of my Piercing Cold Shockwave is no less powerful than some medium-sized destructive spells of warlocks.

Moreover, there is no need to recite a spell when casting Signs, and the seal can be completed within 1 second, which is more convenient.

The setting sun stretched the shadow of the carriage into a strange halberd shape. Dick noticed that Russell was rubbing his lower back without leaving a trace when boarding the carriage.

Although the bodies of demon hunters are strong, they do not have the ability [Super Self-Healing] to resolve all injuries. The hidden injuries from continuous combat are quietly accumulating. This detail made Dick realize that it is necessary for Alchemy to upgrade.

Although there were two and a half more people, the carriage still moved forward steadily.

The little baby in Sel's wife's arms curiously stretched out her tender palms and gently stroked Geralt's silver-white beard.

Little Yennefer on the side also cherished the baby very much and kept kissing his cheek. Finally, he said to Geralt, "It would be great if we could have a child."

Childbirth has always been a concern for Little Yennefer.

As a witcher, Dick can't say much about this, because witchers can't have children.

Geralt also fell silent. From the way he looked at the children, it could be seen that he also liked children very much.

It was almost dusk when everyone returned to Corvo Bianco.

At the gate of the manor, the butler was waiting with the two of them.

"My master." The butler said after giving Geralt a gentlemanly courtesy, "These two are your acquaintances and need your help."

"I know them." Dick said with a smile, "Butler, please help me settle the Professor Seir couple first... As for"

"We will return to Cez in two days." Professor Seir smiled calmly.

"I'm going back to Witcher Order in just two days. I can escort them back together." Russell answered.

"Okay, it's settled."

After settling in Sel and his wife, Dick, three demon hunters, and a sorceress came to the man and woman.

The man is none other than Jimmy, who is familiar to Dick, and the woman is handsome, looking down at her toes with a slight shyness.

Dick smiled and said, "The person next to you must be Ms. Vivian."

"Yes, she is the goddess Vivian I mentioned before. The purpose of our coming here..."

Jimmy held Vivian's little hand tightly and said softly,

"Before, I went to her specifically to confess my feelings, and also said that if there were any difficulties, now that three master demon hunters are here, they might be able to help solve it.

Just last night, Vivian finally confessed that she was cursed."

"It is indeed a curse." Russell yawned, his face growing tired.

Dick suggested. "You should go back and rest first. If Geralt and I cannot resolve this matter, I will call you again."

"That's okay." Little Yennefer was already tired, so he followed him back to the white grape orchard.

Vivian said:

"Two masters, let me speak on this matter.

Before I was born, my parents often went to the forest near Lady of the Lake Castle for trysts.

But one day, they encountered an evil creature.

The creature wore a cloak, hiding its face, and was jealous of my parents' happiness.

One day, when my parents were on a date, it appeared in front of them and claimed that the entire forest was its territory, and that mortals who entered the territory must pay a price.

My parents were immediately frightened and said that they had nothing to give it and begged it to let them go.

But that Monster put its claws on my mother's belly and put the curse on the unborn me as revenge."

Vivian clutched the hem of her skirt with her white knuckles, and the blond knight beside her quickly comforted her in a low voice.

Vivian took a deep breath, calmed down and continued:

"The few years after I was born were no different.

My parents have sought out an exorcist master, but found nothing.

We thought it was just the words of the forest Monster to scare people.

But when I was 15 years old, the symptoms began to show up slowly."

She tremblingly lifted up the silk glove on her left arm, and the dark golden quills were swimming under her skin.

When Moonlight shifted angle, those feathers glowed with metallic luster, which was a sign that the degree of mutation exceeded the critical point.

"My body will gradually grow gryphon feathers.

As an adult, the curse became so powerful that I had to use magic ointment from the church to cover up the symptoms every day.

This curse will gradually turn me into a griffon every full moon, and the symptoms are getting worse.

Now, my arms transform into gryphon wings almost every night.

That's why I kept rejecting Jimmy and hurt his heart again and again."

Vivian's voice was slightly choked,

"Two master demon hunters, I don't want to become Monster, I want to live happily and be with Jimmy.

Can you really help me?"
