Chapter 226: You want to enter the second stage. Have you asked me?
[Name: Margarita Laux Antille]

[Attributes: Strength 11, Agility 9, Constitution 12, Perception 76, Mysticism 81]

【技能：魔法训练LV7、阿瑟瑞的水之盾LV5、猫的敏捷术LV4、熊的力量术LV4、狐的感知术LV4、传送术LV4、冰矛咒LV4、卡丽丝冰雹术LV3、控水术LV3，羽落术LV2……】

There's nothing much to say about the attributes, a standard fragile mage panel.

If it weren't for the water ghost's heart essence, the three attributes of strength, agility and constitution might not be higher than ten points.

As for the newly appeared skill bar...

Apart from the members of the legion, it was the first time that Ailin saw the skills of other people through identification.

This seems to be a unique use of the Demon Hunting skill.

In the demon hunting state, as long as he does not have a rejection attitude towards Ailin, in other words, the intimacy reaches a certain level, he can identify the target's skills.

Not only that.

The same way that Arryn is currently influencing Vesemir to dodge the great griffin's attack.

He can also channel Mary, cast spells, and dodge moves.

Of course, this influence does not manipulate the mind like the Axis Seal, but is more like giving the affected person a kind of intuition.

Let a flash of inspiration come to you, and suddenly you feel that it is best to do something at a certain moment.

For example, Vesemir...

First, he must have the idea of ​​attacking, defending, and dodging, so that Ailin can exert influence on him and make him swing his sword, roll, or move sideways at the best moment...

It cannot go against his or her wishes.

Moreover, when in the demon hunting state, although Ailin cannot read minds, he can vaguely understand the thoughts of the affected person and reach a tacit understanding.

Therefore, there will not be a situation where the combat power is reduced after the influence is exerted.

Of course, in combat, this level of impact is already very strong.

You have to know that team hunting is not the same as single-player hunting, and there is no teammate damage like in the game.

Many times, poor cooperation can even put lives in danger.

Just like Mary only cast a spell on Vesemir before starting the battle.

After officially entering the fierce battle.

Not only did she not dare to cast a single attack spell, she didn't even dare to recast a buff spell whose effect had already decayed by half.

It’s because we never cooperated.

A very simple example.

When the griffin's claws fell, Vesemir had predicted the distance to dodge, but Mary added a "Cat's Agility" buff, which made it impossible for him to dodge.

That would be the end of it.

But with Ailin, it would be different.

In demon hunting mode.

He can completely act as a bridge of communication between the two and release magic at the right time.

Like now.

"Violent——"

The great griffin was angered by Vesemir's well-timed and agile moves.

It spread its wings once again, opened its beak, which was bigger than a human head, and cried loudly at the witcher master.

The wolf emblem trembled and the wind howled.

Ailin tilted his head and shouted:

"Mary!"

"Cat's Agility!"

Ailin did not say who the buff spell was for.

But Mary had a flash of inspiration, and subconsciously chanted the spell in less than a second, targeting Vesemir.

Followed by.

Before Vesemir dodged with his right foot, a purple glow of magic flashed on his body.

The speed has increased visibly.

In an emergency, Vesemir had no time to think before he managed to avoid the griffin's wind pressure.
"How does Mary time her spells so well?"

Just like he released it himself!
Vesemir glanced at Mary, who was also extremely surprised, from the corner of his eye, and felt puzzled.

But the opportunity was fleeting.

After the wind pressure attack, the griffin's beak became noticeably stiff for about two seconds.

This is the best opportunity to attack.

So Vesemir focused his eyes, put aside all distracting thoughts, turned around quickly, and gathered his strength.

"It would be great if I could be given that spell to increase my strength at this time..."

Vesemir wondered inexplicably.

The next moment.

Under Vesemir's incredulous gaze, a dim magical glow flashed.

Then abundant strength instantly surged from his heart to his limbs. At this moment, he even felt that he could wrestle with a big brown bear.

"Pfft!"

A sharp cold light flashed.

this moment.

Vesemir felt as if time around him had slowed down a bit.

The sharp silver sword split the griffin's skin that was soaked in sticky magical aura, cut off the large clusters of thick and solid muscles bit by bit, and then left the skin from the other side.

Blood spurted out.

[Demon Hunting] Progress 8%
This sword directly tripled the progress.

"Violent——"

The great griffin cried out in pain and slapped down with its huge right claw, but Vesemir dodged it again because he was extremely sharp.

Unfortunately.

Although the big griffin's cry was shrill.

But due to its huge size, the wound that Vesemir had just inflicted was just a small cut to it.

It wasn't enough to kill this giant monster.

"Is this the magic I cast?"

Seeing that with Mary's assistance, Vesemir broke the defense of the griffin for the first time, she opened her mouth slightly in surprise.

She found it hard to believe that those two perfectly cast spells were actually cast by her.

The use of "Cat's Agility" might also be due to Ailin's reminder.

But the "Bear Power Technique" that followed was all her own inspiration and she found the right timing.

"Could it be that I am also a genius in combat?"

Mary subconsciously looked at her hands, raised her little head, and suddenly became more confident.

From the corner of his eye, Ailin noticed the change in Mary's expression and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

But this is a good thing for him.

He had already seen the giant griffin's attack methods, and the next step was to work with Vesemir to destroy this monster.

In the heat of battle, it was impossible to give a warning.

If Mary continued to be as "cautious" as before, Arryn would definitely not be able to influence her to buff him and Vesemir at the right time.

"It's a pity that Mary doesn't know any advanced offensive spells, otherwise the two of us could attack together..."

"How can the progress bar of demon hunting be accumulated faster..."

Ailin felt a little regretful.

Mary's skill list is just as she said, most of the skills she knows are buff spells rather than offensive spells.

The highest-level offensive spell was actually the Ice Spear Curse created by Ailin...

Such spells probably can't even contribute 1% of the progress, so it's better to focus on supporting.

After making up his mind, Ailin quietly stood up from the bushes and used his magic power to update the Quenfa:
"Mary, I'm going to help Master Vesemir."

"Just like you did just now, cast a buff on us, got it?"

Hearing this, Mary felt the pressure like a blue mountain pressing down on her shoulders, and her self-confidence, which was a hundred times greater, was crushed in an instant.

Although she thought she was a genius, the two moves just now seemed more like coincidence to her.

"Ai... Ailin, I may not be able to..."

"I believe you can do it!" Ailin interrupted.

"You have to trust your own feelings, the feelings you had when you successfully performed those two spells just now..."

Mary was stunned for a moment.

Seeing the determined expression on Ailin's face, he inexplicably felt a strong encouragement in his heart.

"Yes," she nodded vigorously and said, "I can do it!"

Aelin smiled.

Then he took a deep breath and gripped the silver sword tightly.

"Be careful, Aylin!"

Mary's worried voice came from behind him. He waved his left hand and walked quietly towards the direction of the big griffin.

In just a few dozen meters, Ailin's body was successively flashed with purple light from "Cat's Agility", yellow light from "Bear's Strength", red light from "Fox's Perception", and blue magic glow from "Aseri's Water Shield".

With each step, Aelin was becoming stronger.

Ailin consumed a portion of the water ghost's heart essence with his mind, replenishing one third of his physical strength that had been consumed after the demon hunt.

When we get behind the big griffin...

Demon hunting!

In an instant.

Swords and staffs are ready.

The deep blue cat's eyes suddenly became cold and indifferent, like a calm lake, reflecting the great griffin that was concentrating on Vesemir.

Then the young demon hunter stomped on the ground, and his tense muscles borrowed tremendous power from the vast earth, like a strong bow, shooting himself into the sky obscured by monsters.

Followed by.

Spin around.

cut!
The silver light in the sky turned into a silver moon.

"Pfft~"

The sword blade pierced through the deep red skin without hesitation, cutting through the muscles and fascia, and finally, with hot scarlet blood, it slashed out from the other side in an instant.

Almost in an instant, a half-meter-deep gash was cut at the root of the griffin's thigh.

A large amount of blood spurted out like a fountain.

The strong smell of rust is pungent.

[Demon Hunting] Progress 10%...

"Violent——"

The big griffin suddenly raised its eagle head and folded its wings to protect its right leg.

The screams were much more miserable than the previous two times, and they made Arryn and Vesemir's ears hurt like being pricked by needles.

"Well done, Aylin!"

Vesemir's eyes lit up, and he took advantage of the griffin's panic and spun sideways to chop it down.

The blow hit the joint of the griffin's left leg bone.

It’s a pity that the silver sword he borrowed from Hogg was far inferior to Elsa’s.

Although the defense was broken, only a small cut was made.

Under the cover of the severe pain in its crotch, the big griffin seemed to be unaware of the attack.

[Demon Hunter] 14%...

Vesemir also noticed the gap between the two. He glanced at the beautiful silver sword in Arlin's hand not far away and sighed in his heart:

"As expected of my Elsa..."

"We have to save up money to redeem it."

Ailin's attack really hurt the big griffin.

The huge creature didn't care about Vesemir in front of it. It aimed at Erin and pecked at him like a black and red lightning.

"careful!"

Vesemir's heart suddenly tightened, and he no longer cared about being decent in front of Arryn and Mary.

A silver light flashed out and instantly penetrated into the anus of the big griffin that was facing away from him.

Between pulling out and inserting.

Suddenly.

The blood is flowing!
[Demon Hunting] Progress 31%
"Violent——"

The big griffin screamed again. Under the intense pain, its furious pecking movement trembled for a moment, and was dodged by Ailin.

Ok?
Seventeen percent all of a sudden?
Even in the demon hunting state, with his emotions suppressed to the extreme, Ailin couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Vesemir's sword opened a new door for Arryn.

The Wolf School two-handed sword is mainly based on rotating slashing sword styles, and the "stabbing" sword style is rarely used.

Because of the blessing of magic, the skin of ordinary monsters is difficult to break, and there are muscles and bones inside the skin.

Silver swords are generally not as hard as steel swords, and they can be easily broken by a single stab.

Even if there are passages on the monster that are easy to pierce, such as the back door.

It's not a fatal wound and at most can only anger the prey, and it will heal quickly.

Therefore, the hunting range is basically limited to the Wolf School of Monsters, and naturally, most of the stabbing sword techniques have been removed from the school's swordsmanship.

This is understandable.

But who would have thought that attacking the monster's back door would actually be effective in accumulating progress in demon hunting?

"Master Vesemir, attack that place!" Ailin reminded loudly.

Vesemir was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then nodded.

Although I don't quite understand why attacking a part of the prey would only anger it.

But he believed in Aelin.

Moreover, he is a professional demon hunter who has even done things like killing smelly rot demons in the city sewers. He has no mysophobia either mentally or physically.

"Got it!" Vesemir responded.

He is a beast after all.

After being attacked by Vesemir, the griffin's attention shifted to Vesemir.

Vesemir dodged two consecutive wind pressures.

Instead, Ailin stole the chrysanthemum again, and the demon hunting progress increased by 20%.

The progress bar instantly passed halfway.

Tell the truth.

The danger of two demon hunter masters fighting against a large monster is indeed much lower.

In particular, as time went by, I gradually became familiar with the attack posture and frequency of the griffin.

Mary was there too, and she seized the opportunity to give them the buff status.

Therefore, in the fierce battle with the giant griffin, Vesemir and Arryn had their water shield shattered once because the giant griffin spun and swung its claws, and they had no time to dodge.

At other times, although it looked thrilling, they were not attacked at all.

of course.

Although the big griffin had countless scars on its body and a large area of ​​the ground had been dyed reddish-brown, it was far from exhausted.

On the contrary, the excessive bleeding calmed it down from its rage caused by the pain.

"Violent——"

With another roar, the griffin suddenly raised its neck and spread its wings.

He gathered up his magic power and pretended to release a strong wind pressure, which startled the two Arryns and Vesemir so much that they instantly dodged.

But he didn't expect the next second.

"Hula~"

The griffin flapped its huge wings, and the strong wind blew a lot of dust on the ground towards the two witchers.

"not good!"

"This beast is going to heaven!"

Vesemir's face suddenly changed.

"Alin, Alder!!!"

While Vesemir reminded loudly, he quickly activated his magic power, bent the middle finger of his right hand, and pushed it hard in the direction of the griffin.

Alder Seal.

On the other side, Ailin also launched a strong telekinetic shock wave forward.

However, the two shock waves on both sides of the giant griffin had their power weakened when they rushed towards the giant griffin.

It failed to knock the giant griffin down, but only made its center of gravity slightly unstable, causing it to sway in the air two meters high.

"Damn it!"

"The great griffin is about to fly!"

Vesemir slapped his head in regret. He was fooled by this cunning beast.

When the big griffin flies into the sky, they will be the ones who suffer.

"Violent——"

There seemed to be a hint of pride in the cry of the great griffin.

However, before it could feel proud for a few seconds, it suddenly felt its injured right paw sink suddenly and a sharp pain came over it.

The great griffin lowered its eagle head.

A tiny human with blue eyes was staring at it coldly.

"You want to enter the second stage. Have you asked me?"

[Demon Hunting] Progress 87%...
