The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 9 1249 years have passed, and I miss it
On the bank of a river deep in the Blue Mountains.

The screams and wails of the water ghosts broke the tranquility in the mountains.

The silver sword chopped off the head of a water ghost, and then Lin En pulled back to avoid the pounce of another water ghost.

The claws, as sharp as swords, missed.

Lin En took another step forward, gripped the silver sword tightly with both hands, raised it above his head, and then chopped it down fiercely.

puff!
Blood splatters.

The silver sword split the water ghost's head.

The third water ghost approaches the witcher from behind.

Perhaps because he used too much force just now, the silver sword was stuck firmly on the head of the water ghost's corpse.

I couldn't pull it out for a while.

But there was no panic on Lynn's face.

He turned around and stretched out his right hand towards the water ghost approaching from behind him.

"Igni."

The raging flames sprayed towards the water ghost's face.

The latter fell to the ground howling, desperately grabbing the mud on the ground and smearing it on his face.

It seemed that doing so could save his burned face.

Lynn stepped on the corpse and pulled out the silver sword.

Then he swung his arm.

The silver sword turned into a meteor, nailing the water ghost to the ground.

The last water ghost seemed to feel the fear as well, and ran away in a humane manner.

Lin En did not chase after him, but instead checked the gains from the battle:

Attribute points: 4 (86%) → 5 (1%)

"I finally got 5 attribute points. It was really not easy."

After a brief thought, Lin En decided that he should be assigned to the "Wolf School Swordsmanship".

Although sigils and alchemy are also important.

But those two skills can wait until next time.

In contrast, martial arts should be improved first.

So Lin En imagined a finger and pointed it at the "Wolf School Swordsmanship".

Wolf School Swordsmanship (Proficient) → Wolf School Swordsmanship (Master/Extreme)

New Specialty: Comprehensive Enhancement (Increases Speed ​​by 20%, Strength by 20%, and Constitution by 20%)

A huge amount of sword-fighting memories were instilled into Lynn's mind.

Unlike before, the swordplay memories that flooded into his mind this time were no longer just the boring memories of practicing swordplay on the training grounds. They also included many experiences and memories of fighting in battle, even bloody lessons...

Fighting with humans, fighting with monsters...

One-to-one, one-to-many...

A hard struggle in the face of adversity...

A desperate counterattack in a desperate situation...

These precious memories, which others would have to suffer scars to obtain, were now being instilled into Lin En's mind as if they were free.

Even after all the sword skills memories were instilled, it was not over yet.

Lin En could feel that although there was no visible change in his body's appearance, there was indeed a real improvement inside his body.

He pulled out the silver sword that had pierced the water ghost's body, swung it a few times, and then felt that his speed and strength were indeed 20% faster than before.

"Wonderful."

Lynn's eyes lit up.

This is throwing tiles!

The sound of messy footsteps suddenly rang out.

Lynn turned and looked.

But the water ghost that had run away before came back again.

Not only that, it also brought back a swamp witch.

"So he's going to call for help." Lin En smiled. If it were him a minute ago, he would have run away by now.

Swamp witch, this kind of monster will give even a real witcher a headache.

But after he reached the "Master" level in "Wolf School Swordsmanship", not only was his swordsmanship skills comparable to that of a veteran witcher like Geralt...

The 20% increase in strength, speed, and physique brought by the specialty "Comprehensive Enhancement" gave him enough confidence.

Naturally, there is no need to run away when encountering slightly stronger monsters like in the past few months.

"Just use you as a training ground."

When the last word came out of his mouth, the witcher had already pounced out like a direwolf.

Before the mud kicked into the air hit the ground, Lin En had already rapidly closed the distance between the two sides.

The swamp witch's cloudy pupils shrank sharply.

It grabbed the water ghost next to it and threw it hard at the witcher.

Lin En swung the silver sword and split the water ghost flying towards him in half from the right shoulder to the left abdomen.

But the blood and internal organs that were scattered in the air had not yet landed on the ground.

The swamp witch turned into a black shadow and followed the water ghost, but her sickle-like claws had already grabbed Lin En's chest fiercely.

The swamp witch's claws can tear through any armor, and the flesh and blood body is as fragile as paper in front of it.

As long as there was contact, Lynn would be torn into pieces in an instant.

Although the swamp witch is not an intelligent creature, the cunning of her tactics of first throwing out water ghosts as bait and then launching an all-out attack is no less than that of intelligent creatures.

indeed.

Under normal circumstances, this distance, this speed...

There's no way it's too late.

But with the blessing of "comprehensive strengthening", Lynn released his left hand holding the sword and faced the swamp witch barehanded.

"Alder."

The invisible air wave was like a war hammer, hitting the swamp witch hard.

Fingers bent and skin cracked.

The swamp witch's body seemed to have hit the wall directly, and she staggered backward.

Even though this flaw only lasted for a brief moment...

Although it only took a few seconds, it was able to regain its footing...

But in battle, a moment's negligence can make the difference between victory and defeat.

The silver sword cut through the swamp witch's neck like a hot knife through butter.

The swamp witch's head, which was a mixture of anger, unwillingness, astonishment and other complex emotions, was thrown into the air and fell into the turbulent river, stirring up a small wave.

……

At the end of 1249, before the snow closed the mountains, the members of the Wolf School returned to Kaer Morhen.

Everyone sat happily in the hall, enjoying delicious food and fine wine, and sharing their experiences of the past year.

After eating and drinking, Lynn took the initiative to suggest that he hoped to carry out the final stage of the Demon Hunter Trial before the end of this winter.

That is the badge trial.

The Badge Trial, also known as the Mountain Trial, is the third stage of the Demon Hunter Trial.

Only after completing the badge trial will you be qualified to go down the mountain.

When Lin En finished speaking, the lively atmosphere at the table suddenly became quiet.

Everyone, including Vesemir, looked at Lynn with surprise and confusion.

After all, he is still young, and if he wants, he can actually stay in Kaer Morhen for a few more years.

And no one will say anything about it.

Demon hunters generally have a very long lifespan.

Although Eskar and Lambert look like young people, who would have thought that their real age is actually about the same as Arasaka Yorinobu.

As for Vesemir, even Saburo Arasaka would have to call him grandpa when he came.

Although most witchers are transformed from humans, the witchers who have completed the Trial of Green Grass are actually closer to the ancient races with long lifespans such as elves and dwarves in terms of time concept.

Of course, Lin En had his own reasons for wanting to go down the mountain.
