The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 384 God's Armament - Arondette
"You've come to see me this time, could it be that you've already made preparations to defeat the evil god Dagang?"

Lynn nodded and said, "Yes, my lady, that's exactly why I've come."

"Madam, in the time since I last left, has the power of the evil god Dagon increased again?"

Then he recounted how he had just been at Lake Vijima, trying to summon the goddess of the lake, only to be attacked by the corrupted merfolk under the command of the evil god Dagon.

A look of sadness appeared on the face of the goddess in the lake.

"Although I am reluctant to admit it, it is indeed the case. I have no foundation of faith in Temuria, and therefore no power, while the power of the evil god Dagon is constantly increasing."

“If left unchecked, one day the entire Lake Vijima and its surrounding area will become a breeding ground for evil.”

Lynn immediately and firmly replied, "I won't let that happen."

The goddess of the lake nodded approvingly: "My warrior, your pursuit of justice and honor greatly pleases me, and your strength has indeed reached a point where you can fight her, but..."

"The physical body of the evil god Dagang is far more powerful than that of the monster from the celestial intersection; even the silver sword has difficulty inflicting damage on it."

Lynn had already considered these concerns of the Lady of the Lake.

In the game, Dagon is just a boss.

So they'll just stay there and wait for Geralt to farm.

Geralt can go whenever he wants.

Moreover, once your health bar is up, you can still kill any evil god you see.

But reality is different from games.

In reality, evil gods don't just stay obediently at the bottom of Lake Vijima doing nothing, nor are they so fragile that a simple scraping with an ordinary silver sword can kill them.

“My lady, that is why I have come here. In fact, after my strength has greatly increased, ordinary weapons are no longer sufficient for me. Therefore, in order to defeat the evil god Dagon, please lend me the legendary Lake Maiden's Sword for the time being.”

The weight of the sword blank I used before was just right, but since it hadn't been polished, it wasn't easy to hold.

Moreover, the sword blank was made of ordinary iron, and it had already worn down after several uses.

If you were to actually use it to fight Dagang, it might break during the battle.

Lynn also considered having Tyncel forge him another suitable greatsword.

If it were an extra-large sword forged from refined gold and then plated with silver, it might not break easily.

The problem is that since I'll be able to get the Lake Maiden's Sword from the Lake Maiden sooner or later, why bother Master Tyncel?

Why not just come to the Goddess of the Lake and withdraw it in advance?

Anyway, I'm fighting for the goddess of the lake.

The goddess of the lake pondered for a moment, seemingly considering Lynn's proposal.

Normally, the Lake Maiden's Sword should have been a reward for successfully defeating the evil god Dagon.

Lynn had previously served the Lake Goddess many times, proving his five virtues.

Given that I cannot directly interfere with this world, if I miss Lynn, I will have to wait for the next qualified warrior to appear, who knows when that will be.

Moreover, if the evil god Dagon is not stopped now, his power may become increasingly stronger.

Even if a suitable warrior emerges by then, they probably won't be a match for him.

Thinking of this, the goddess of the lake decided to make an exception for Lynn.

"Ok."

The goddess of the lake waved.

A magnificent half-sword, enveloped in flowing water, rises from beneath the lake.

"My warrior, may it help you overcome all obstacles and be invincible."

However, Lynn did not immediately reach out to take it.

"Madam, may I make a small request? Could you perhaps slightly alter the appearance of the Lake Maiden's Sword?"

"Ok?"

This was the first time the Goddess of the Lake had heard such a request. Normally, shouldn't an ordinary person be moved to tears upon receiving divine weaponry?
However, the Lake Maiden's Sword was originally intended for Lynn's use. If he felt it was inappropriate and wanted to change it, the Lake Maiden wouldn't find it offensive.

"So what style do you want to change it to?"

Lynn took a piece of parchment from the magic-patterned leather bag.

He had already made preparations long before deciding to fleece the goddess of the lake.

The goddess of the lake beckoned, and the parchment floated from Lynn's hand, flying to him on its own.

He only glanced at it, yet he had already memorized its contents.

"Are you sure, my warrior? As far as I know, at least in this world, no warrior, no matter how strong, can wield such a huge and heavy weapon."

"Madam, can you only change the style of the Lake Maiden's Sword once?"

"If you're not satisfied, you can change it back."

Lynn was relieved.

The Lake Maiden's Sword, shaped like a half-sword, sank to the bottom of the lake and was once again enveloped by the flowing water.

A moment later, the water mass dissipated and resurfaced on the lake surface.

It will become the same as the Lake Maiden's Sword that Lynn depicted on the parchment.

"You can pick it up and try it out. If you still don't think it's suitable, I can help you modify it."

Lynn did as she was told, gripped the hilt of the Lake Maiden's Sword, raised it sharply, and then swept it horizontally.

A terrifying whooshing sound rang out.

Even a fully armored knight would be cleaved in two by this sword.

It's not much more troublesome than cutting butter with a hot knife.

"How's it going? Are you satisfied?"

“It works very well,” Lynn nodded. “Madam, with the power you lent me, justice will surely prevail over evil.”

The goddess of the lake said with satisfaction.

“Very good. Now, come forward and extend your hand.”

Lynn sheathed the Lake Maiden's sword and walked to the Lake Goddess.

He could roughly guess what the goddess of the lake was going to do next.

Therefore, he stretched out his hands.

The goddess of the lake also placed her hands above his.

Then, a blood-red gem slowly fell into Lynn's hand.

“The evil god Dagon hides in a small town underwater at Lake Vijima year-round. Underwater warfare is disadvantageous to mortals, so I bestow a drop of my blood upon you.”

"On this Black Tern Island, there is also a temple where the fallen merfolk worship the evil god Dagang. Once you have gathered enough allies and made all the necessary preparations, bring this blood gem to Dagang's temple, and you will surely be able to lure Him here."

The blood of the gods is extremely precious.

If you have a single drop of blood, you can do a lot.

The most common approach is to create a countermeasure artifact or to curse it.

Therefore, the goddess of the lake was certain that as long as Dagon sensed her blood within Dagon's temple, Dagon would come.

The Lake Goddess's Blood Gem is here.

The next step is to gather allies to fight against the evil god Dagon.

However, it's clearly too late to return to Kaer Mohen now.

Besides, most of the demon hunters already had missions to complete and had been dispatched by him.

Therefore, Lynn used the communication box to contact Tissaya, Mossack, Geralt, and Yennefer, who were still in Kaer Morhen Castle and had not yet left.
