Chapter 39: Subjugation of the Water Ghost King

"boom!"

The ice cone that Vesemir dodged exploded on the hard slate.

The strong wind, mixed with ice crystals and dust, blew the Demon Hunter Master's loose hair all over his back.

With Vesemir's strength, there was no need to deceive the Water Ghost King's vision like Arryn did.

This large and clumsy magic seems to be specially prepared for siege or hunting large and slow monsters.

Such a slow speed could not be hidden from the perception of the Demon Hunter Master.

Vesemir dodged the ice cones easily and rushed forward in two or three steps while the Water Ghost King was still in the stiff period after releasing magic.

Spin and chop.

In a flash, silver light flashed.

The blue magic shield flashed twice and then shattered in an instant.

Vesemir grasped the Water Ghost King's spellcasting pattern and slashed twice more quickly.

The skin outside the heel tendon of the Water Ghost King was cut.

"Quack!"

With a loud roar, the magic shield was generated again.

"It's still a little bit worse."

Vesemir felt a little regretful.

Although he believed in his apprentice, the witcher master was certainly unwilling to just wait in vain.

Unfortunately, although he seized the opportunity when the Water Ghost King was casting a spell, he still couldn't cause significant damage.

"Shh!"

With its huge, angry webbed claws, it grabbed at the witcher master's head.

Vesemir quickly lowered his head and raised his sword.

"Zi-"

A sharp scratching sound was heard, and the blue shield alternated between light and dark.

The swung silver sword was deflected by this grab, but Vesemir did not care and used the force to turn around.

cut!
The silver blade quickly flashed on the Water Ghost King's claws again.

"boom!"

With a slight sound, the Water Ghost King's shield was broken again.

Aelin was feeling very strange now, his spirit was invading the monster's aura, but his mind seemed to have merged with Vesemir's.

When the Water Ghost King kicks with his left foot, he should move sideways, turn around, and swing his sword...

Ailin thought so.

Vesemir seemed to be following his instructions, moving sideways, turning around, and swinging his sword...

Finally, the blue shield was shattered perfectly.

[Demon Hunting] Progress 75%
Ailin felt that the Demon Hunter Master was his hand, and his sword was an extension of his attack range.

This is not an illusion of the demon hunter apprentice, nor is there only one place to attack and dodge. This seems to be a special effect of the [Demon Hunting] skill.

The Demon Hunter Master believed in him, so some of his aura matched the spiritual power that Ailin had penetrated into him.

Aelin can use the demon hunting state to guide Vesemir to make the best attack method.

"So this is the correct way to use Demon Hunting?"

The witcher apprentice thought.

It seemed that Vesemir didn't notice anything unusual.

The Demon Hunter Master did not notice anything unusual.

He just felt that he was in particularly good shape today.

You don't need to think much, you can avoid the monster's attacks at will, and you can find the next best attack position with just a glance.

Just like now.

He dodged the monster's right kick by leaning sideways, then turned around and quickly slashed at the shield with four sword strikes.

If he were in the past, he could only strike out twice with his sword at most while dodging.

"I haven't hunted qualified prey for such a long time. Could it be that my strength has improved?"

Vesemir felt somewhat excited, but also somewhat surprised.

Except for situations between life and death, most demon hunters can only rely on aging and the growth of mutated organs to increase their strength.

Such progress is very slow.

But what Vesemir felt now was an almost leap-forward improvement.

If Vesemir had encountered this monster before today, he would never have been able to deal with it so easily.

The demon hunter master quickly took two steps back to avoid the monster's right foot, then spun around and chopped skillfully.

"Bang!" What was broken was not the magic shield.

Vesemir looked at the broken silver blade in amazement.

After all, it's just a training sword and can't sustain such high-intensity combat.

The weapon broke, and Vesemir quickly gestured to the Water Ghost King.

Alder Seal.

The strong shock wave made the monster take the opportunity to grab with its sharp claws, but it failed to catch anything.

The witcher master quickly retreated and was about to ask Ailin to borrow his sword.

But then he found a familiar figure rushing out from beside him.

It was Aylin.

The witcher apprentice ignored Vesemir's surprise at this time.

After entering the demon hunting state, Ailin felt almost no emotional fluctuations, only the purest calculation of pros and cons.

Since he had integrated his own thoughts into Vesemir's actions, how could Ailin not notice the state of the silver sword in the witcher's hand?

Or perhaps it was precisely because Arryn noticed everything that Vesemir, who was fully immersed in the battle, ignored the status of his weapon.

This is the most important information for a warrior.

Ailin didn't remind him simply because there was no need.

after all.

[Demon Hunting] Progress 100%
After entering execution mode, Ayling realized that he was wrong.

The upgraded [Demon Hunting] not only increases the duration of the Demon Hunting state.

In Ailin's vision, a row of bright red footprints led straight to the back of the Water Ghost King's neck.

Some of these footprints were even suspended in the air, at a height that was impossible to reach from his current position.

However, in the demon hunting state, Ailin had no fear and naturally would not hesitate.

"Alin?"

The witcher apprentice did not reply, he was concentrating on moving forward along the red footprints.

He took a step to the left, and the Water Ghost King kicked with his huge right foot, which was just avoided by the witcher apprentice.

He jumped to the right and landed right on the Water Ghost King's retracted foot.

Ailin walked along the monster's right leg as if it were flat ground.

Step by step, stepping on the red marks, the witcher apprentice dodged all attacks from the Water Ghost King.

Although the speed was not fast, in the blink of an eye, Ailin stood at the finish line.

The red mark where he stepped on disappeared, and the familiar red line appeared before his eyes.

Time seemed to freeze the moment the red line appeared, and everything in front of me turned into a still picture.

He saw the fear in the huge pupils of the Water Ghost King, the disbelief in Vesemir’s expression, and the misty dust in the air...

A red line appeared in the dust.

Ailin followed his familiar instinct, held Elsa tightly and slashed along the line.

then,

A dreamy silver light flashed by.

The floating dust, blue light, flesh, blood, and bones were cut off one by one.

"puff"

Bright red blood spurted out from the fracture.

An indescribable fragrance also wafts to your face.

"The blood of the Water Ghost King is surprisingly fragrant."

The demon hunter apprentice who had just exited the demon hunting state was inexplicably concerned about this point.

Then his eyes went dark and he began to fall.

Obviously, it is not a pleasant experience to have 150 points of physical strength used up instantly.

"boom"

Ailin's exhausted body was lifted up by a slightly stronger arm.

At the same time, a mechanical sound came to my ears.

"Ding"

[Defeat the monster "Water King"! 】
