Clinging to the Witcher world to become a god of martial arts

Complete skeletons, scattered limbs, and eerie blue flames flickering in empty eye sockets formed an endless tide of death.

Using the advantage brought by his internal strength, Lorne leaped up just as the skeletons were about to surround the two of them, and then slowly landed in the open space.

The star vortex spun at top speed, continuously sending out celestial energy, which eventually transformed into an invisible force field that enveloped its entire body and suppressed the skeleton.

"Swift! Move quickly!"

While Lorne was on the run, Penny was not idle either, constructing spell patterns to cast amplifying spells on him.

【Attributes: Constitution 9, Strength 9, Agility 9 (12), Spirit 11, Magic 0】

Although the bonus effect is not as good as Boiling Blood, it is still a helpful improvement.

That's strange... Amplification spells and elemental damage spells have different, even more complex, principles.

The essence of elemental damage is to use mental power to attract and release energy particles of different attributes in the air.

Amplification spells involve many different types of spells, requiring a lot of time to master. Even after mastering them, they may not have sufficient combat ability, making it a poor trade-off.

"I can only maintain two amplification states!" Penny gasped, forming two hand seals.

The energy erosion and magical pollution within the Vol Manor are quite severe, putting significant pressure on one's mental sea.

The purpose of speed is to accelerate the action and make the subject's movements more flexible.

"Speeding" simply means increasing the speed of travel, that is, running faster.

Grouping the two types of products with increased growth together is what we call agility as displayed on the panel.

The 3-point agility bonus is actually about the same as the speed at which you escape alone without Penny.

Lorne moved with the agility of a swallow, traversing freely among the skeletons and the tide of bones, returning the way he came.

The only way to be safe now is to return to the magic shuttle and leave Vol Manor...

...

Time passed from noon to evening.

...

The entrance to the manor.

There was a large opening in the invisible barrier, with ripples rippling around the edge, like a gaping mouth that kept opening and closing.

A head suddenly popped out, with a few tufts of hair on top fluttering in the wind.

After the girl, her hair sticky with sweat, stepped out, she collapsed to the ground with a sigh of relief, greedily inhaling the fresh air.

In contrast, the brown-haired boy following closely behind had a blood-stained robe and a weak appearance.

"We finally escaped." Penny took out a bottle of potion and gratefully handed it to Lorne, who had led her out of the skeleton horde: "Drink this quickly, it's a life-restoring potion."

"No need." Lorne took the potion and threw it into the moonlight bag.

At this moment, his condition wasn't particularly bad; he had just exhausted his inner energy, and the few shallow wounds on his body were from when he was in poor condition and was accidentally slashed by the sword-wielding skeleton.

With a constitution attribute of 9, it's at most considered to be some superficial injuries.

"Go to the magic airship and report to Gunnar." Lorne's gaze fell on the towering, ship-like magic airship that was parked at the main entrance.

"Um."

The two climbed the ladder onto the shuttle.

As evening fell, the setting sun cast a golden glow on the deck, but when Lorne stepped onto it, he found it completely deserted.

Only a few faint lights flickered.

Not only was the deck deserted, but Gunnar was also nowhere to be seen on the control floor.

Lorne glanced back in the direction of Wall Manor and had a general idea in his mind.

"Where did Lord Gunnar go?" Penny noticed that the large, bear-like figure was not on the second floor when she arrived at the deck.

"The answer is obvious." Lorne withdrew his gaze and sat down cross-legged on the spot.

"Uh..." Seeing that Lorne had no intention of taking any action, Penny sat down to rest.

Re-entering the manor will expose you to a terrifying horde of skeletons, posing a significant danger.

To catch up with the main group, we need to reach the castle in the very center of Wall Manor. Putting aside the wasted time, whether we can even break through the skeleton blockade and arrive safely is another question.

Compared to that, loitering on the magic shuttle... doesn't seem like a bad choice?

"I'll bandage your wounds." Penny knelt on the deck, took a roll of bandage from her storage bag, held it in her palm, and gently pulled open the collar of Lorne's robe.

His physique was perfect, revealing a strong upper body, and several knife wounds had already scabbed over.

A blush crept onto the girl's cheeks, but before shyness arrived, confusion set in.

"Recovered so quickly?"

"I said I didn't need it." Lorne casually put his robe back on, then suddenly remembered Penny's earlier inquiry about the price of the magic sword.

"You don't practice ice magic?"

Earlier, when this girl asked about the price of the magic sword, she murmured about ice magic rings, but in the manor, she only used amplification spells.

Penny naturally understood what Lorne meant. As she put the bandaging tools she had just taken out back into her storage bag, she explained:

"My main focus is ice magic, and my secondary focus is amplification magic."

"If you had spent the time you would spend practicing amplification spells on meditation, you would have reached level two by now." Lorne thought this girl with the ahoge was a bit silly and couldn't distinguish between what was important and what wasn't.

Is advancing an apprentice's career more important than those useless spells?

The moment this idea popped into her head, Penny explained:

"The apprenticeship is an important stage of accumulation, which determines how far you can go in the future. It's like building a house; laying the foundation is the most important first step."

Lorne remained silent for a moment.

What's the point of reaching level two by directly taking drugs?

"Some high-level amplification spells are very effective, temporarily compensating for a wizard's weaknesses in certain areas, and might even save someone's life in a critical moment..."

"That's good." Lorne nodded in praise and then ignored the girl with the ahoge.

The two had somewhat different ideas, and Lorne was unable to instill his own beliefs in her.

He could only silently complain to himself: "He can't even save his own life, yet he's protecting others' lives..."

If your personal strength is enough to overwhelm any opponent you encounter, then why would you need to think about protecting yourself? Your own strength is the most important thing!

Lorne sat cross-legged and practiced breathing exercises to replenish his depleted Heavenly River Qi.

The sky grew darker.

The previously floating lights on the deck brightened, emitting a soft green glow.

"They're fireflies." Penny opened her palm and gently took them.

Fireflies...

Are the lights on the deck fireflies?

Gunnar just disappeared...

Lorne suddenly opened his eyes and stood up, ignoring the chaotic surging of his internal energy.

He assumed a fighting stance, drew the magic sword from his waist, and cautiously surveyed his surroundings.

At the same time, a soft light fell.

At first, there was one, then two, ten, a hundred... Countless fireflies emitting a soft green light flew in from the distant forest on the plain.

It flows continuously like a galaxy, as if to light up the dark night.

And in the very center, a figure slowly emerged.

Clad in a long robe woven from moonlight moss and ancient vines, the hem fluttered even without wind, shimmering with a faint light reminiscent of fireflies...
