A few days later.
In the underground laboratory of Kaer Morhen Castle.
Demon hunters such as Tissaia, Yennefer, Geralt, all looked at Secondary Mutation's equipment nervously.
A long time has passed since Lynn entered.
At the beginning, everyone was doing their own thing.
It wasn't until Lynn didn't show up at the time it was supposed to appear that people realized what was happening and rushed over one after another.
Lambert couldn't help but said anxiously, "Lynn has been in there for so long, could something happen?"
Yennefer's always proud face now became a little more irritable.
But she didn't answer Lambert because she was afraid that if she couldn't help it, her explanation would turn into a scolding.
Fortunately, there is a patient sorceress here.
Tissaia bit her nails. She did not look at Lambert, but stared closely at the iron maiden-like device.
"I just used magic to see it. He's still in there, he's still alive."
Biting nails is not something a high-level sorceress should do. Tissaia has given up this bad habit since she enrolled in the Aretuza Academy many years ago and was severely punished by the teacher with a pointer.
But now, she bit her nails subconsciously.
"Then why hasn't he come out yet? By this time, we have all come out."
Geralt suddenly said, "Lambert."
Lambert turned around impatiently.
"What for?"
Geralt shook his head at him. "Say less, you are not the only one who is worried here."
Lambert glanced at the other people's faces one by one and then stopped talking.
Indeed, Auckes and Serrit of School of the Viper, George of School of the Griffin, they are no less worried about Lynn than the witcher of School of the Wolf.
In fact, they were able to gather in Kaer Morhen Castle because of Lynn.
Although they didn't say it, in fact they already regarded Lynn as their leader.
If something happens to Lynn in the process of Secondary Mutation, then they who have finally gathered together may fall apart in an instant.
"He will be fine," Tissaia said as if he was comforting others, but also speaking to himself. "In some respects, the situations of Secondary Mutation and Trial of the Grasses are similar - the longer the mutation lasts, the better the enhancement effect will be."
Tissaia swallowed, but did not say the last half of the sentence after all: But the longer the time to withstand the mutation is not the better, because it also means the greater the risk.
Time passed bit by bit.
During this period, Tissaia and Yennefer used magic to check Lynn's status several times and confirmed that it was not life-threatening.
But Lynn's time inside was too long.
Just when Tissaia couldn't help but think about whether he should simply force open the device and fish out Lynn...
Finally, the device casing was pushed open from the inside.
A large amount of heat mixed with the smell of sweat wafted out.
Everyone hurriedly gathered around him.
I saw Lynn wearing only a pair of shorts, and his skin was covered with terrifying purple lines.
But soon, these purple lines gradually faded and disappeared.
Geralt asked, "Lynn, what do you think?"
Lynn replied while pulling out the needle that was inserted into his arm, "I'm fine. I've never felt better."
Others wanted to ask other questions, but Tissaia stood between him and the others.
"Gentlemen and ladies," when she said this, she nodded to Kasja, "This is not the place to talk. Let's talk somewhere with fresher air."
So a group of people left the stuffy underground laboratory and came above.
Everyone else was waiting in the hall, and Tissaia and Yennefer followed Lynn to his room.
"I said, ladies... why don't you go out first, I'm going to change clothes."
Lynn scratched his head and said.
"Although I think I am old enough to be your great-grandmother, but if you insist... that's fine."
So Tissaia pulled Yennefer back out of the door.
When he was the only one left in the room, Lynn let out a sigh of relief.
He took off his shorts, which had become sticky with sweat and clung to his thighs. He wiped his body with a towel and put his clothes back on.
The pain level of Secondary Mutation is much lower than that of Trial of the Grasses, not to mention that a sorceress mixed him a bowl of tranquilizing potion with the same effect as Stabilization Spell.
It's just that the time spent inside was a bit longer than Lynn expected.
But fortunately, everything is worth it.
Lynn lowered his head and looked at his clenched fist.
He could clearly feel that his current body was filled with more powerful power than before.
He opened the properties panel and saw an extra line on it:
--"New expertise: Extraordinary Physique (significantly enhances strength, agility, nerve response, physical fitness, Signs power, magic power limit and recovery speed, and poison resistance)"
Lynn still remembers when Tissaia evaluated Geralt: to moderately enhance physical fitness.
The evaluation of School of the Viper, Auckes and Serrit is: greatly enhance agility, nerve response, and anti-toxic tolerance; slightly enhance strength, physical fitness, and endurance.
The evaluation of George for School of the Griffin is: greatly enhance the power, magic power limit and recovery speed of Signs; moderately enhance strength, physique, and endurance; slightly enhance agility, nerve response, and anti-toxic resistance.
However, what is displayed on his attribute panel is that all attributes have been greatly enhanced.
In this regard, Lynn has a guess:
I have already learned School of the Bear Swordsmanship, School of the Cat Swordsmanship, Griffin Meditation Method, and Viper Poisoncraft before. While integrating the advantages of all schools, the property panel has also strengthened myself time and time again.
Let yourself have the body of a bear, the speed of a cat, the magic power of a griffin, and the poison resistance of a viper.
That's why my Secondary Mutation time is so much longer than others, because I am mutating in all aspects.
In the castle hall, Lynn is sitting upright on a chair. Tissaia and Yennefer use magic to detect Lynn's physical condition.
As their detection time increased, the faces of the two sorceresses became more and more shocked.
Seeing the expressions of the two sorceresses, everyone else couldn't help but become nervous.
Geralt even spoke out for others on their behalf.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Tissaia The magic aura dispersed and she shook her head.
"Lynn's body is very healthy. It can be said that it is too healthy." She turned to Lynn and said, "If you don't mind, I can't wait to see your changes now."
So the group left the castle hall and came to the training ground.
As before, Tissaia arranged several dummies wearing armor on the training ground.
With the experience of Geralt, Eskel directly brought a two-handed sword to Lynn.
But after taking over the two-handed sword, Lynn suddenly felt the same as when he just got the "Brute Force" specialty.
