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

"There's something unusual about this place..."

"Yes, Lord Aislin, there is an unusual bronze pillar below that transformed a necromancer into a corrupted lich after his death."

Gunnar lowered his head, his eyes darting around, and after a moment's thought, said very respectfully, "He is an extremely difficult opponent, and it will be a thankless task."

"There's nothing of value here; it's not worth your time."

"Oh? Is that so?" Aislin turned around, his sharp eyes fixed on Gunnar with a questioning look.

Gunnar returned a firm look: "Yes."

After staring at each other for a few seconds, Aislin chuckled and suddenly changed the subject, saying, "The dragon form is a bit of an eyesore."

A tiny firefly flew toward Gunnar's chest with lightning speed.

A sudden change occurred.

The black scales contracted wildly, and countless streams of blood vapor surged and billowed.

"Aaaaah!" Gunnar roared like a wild beast, his voice filled with anguish.

The blood vessels beneath the nail plate swelled and protruded in an unusual manner, clearly revealing the deep red blood mixed with pale gold within.

"Teacher!" The big man was also terrified when he saw this scene, because Gunnar was no longer human.

Its overall appearance is somewhere between a human and a beast, except that its blood vessels are extremely swollen, as if they will burst through its skin and explode at any moment.

Instantly, a fluorescent green light filled the area, and Gunnar knelt down, constantly letting out low growls.

Lorne looked away, no longer paying attention to Gunnar, who was being played with as easily as a chick; the scene was somewhat horrifying.

He was still thinking about the bronze pillars and the fallen lich that Gunnar had mentioned earlier.

He was certainly familiar with bronze pillars; he had almost been tied to one and burned alive. He just didn't know if it was the same one.

The Fallen Lich sounds like a superior to the Death Knight. After the undead invasion in the elven settlement, Soldron mentioned that the skeleton horde was summoned by the Lich, but was stopped at the other end of the magic circle: the Test Grounds.

Given that there have only been two encounters with undead creatures so far, it's hard for Lorne not to connect them based on the limited information available.

The liches beneath the abyss are transformed from necromancers. Could this necromancer be the one from the Black Tower... the guy researching necromancy in the training grounds?

Lorne had a bold guess in his mind, after all, Wall Manor was the site of the battle between the Firefly Forest and the Black Sun Tower.

"Can you tell me the truth now?"

While Lorne was pondering, Gunnar had already transformed from his dragon form back into human form.

Its enormous body had not an ounce of fat, making it extremely fierce, and its arms, as thick as buckets, hung limply on the ground.

Blood gushed from the severed arm, revealing the bare white bones.

There is also a firefly symbol on the chest, and the veins all over the body are faintly green.

Gunnar, his face pale and breathless, gasped, "Lord Aislin, what are you referring to?"

"The following... relevant information... has been fully disclosed to you..." he said haltingly.

"But I heard this kid say you're here to look for something?" Aislin pointed to Lorne, who was not far away.

"Thing..." Gunnar's heart skipped a beat, and his expression froze for a moment.

Aisling immediately noticed, "Looks like I was right."

After being completely exposed, Gunnar's face flashed with anger, and he cast a resentful glance at Lorne.

Just like finding the culprit.

Lorne casually looked away, as if none of this concerned him, and that he hadn't brought Aislin there himself.

There was no other way; it was all to save lives and accumulate strength for the Black Tower!

I'm not betraying anyone; I'm simply wisely avoiding Aislin's advances—a smart choice...

"Alright." Aislin interrupted the tense atmosphere and looked at Lorne and Penny: "Kid, I always keep my word. As we agreed before, I can spare your life."

"Of course, I don't believe that the seventh seat of the Forest of Fireflies would care about the life or death of a nobody."

Despite saying that, Lorne still hesitated and stood still without moving.

"Go ahead," Aislin said with a gentle smile.

"Alright!" Lorne immediately started running, but not in the direction of leaving Wall Manor, but towards the abyss... and leaped down!

"I still want to serve Lord Aisling; let me do my final act of service!"

Lorne's words still echoed above the abyss.

Aislin did not stop Lorne. A fleeting hint of coldness flashed in his eyes as he used fireflies to lift Penny, Gunnar, and the big man who were still present, and sent them into the abyss together.

Then it transformed into a firefly and followed behind the falling crowd.

...

Although it is called an abyss, the distance from the top to the bottom of the pit is not very long.

The main problem is that it is filled with dark energy particles and negative energy particles, which causes a feeling of discomfort when you enter it. In addition, the darkness in front of you can easily cause panic.

As Lorne leaped down, the fireflies gently supported his body, allowing him to descend slowly.

Even with the faint light of fireflies, one cannot see the surrounding scenery clearly.

Lorne absolutely refused to believe Aislin's suggestion to spare his life, just as he had said at the beginning: whether others could live or die depended on their value to him.

The situation at the bottom of the abyss is unknown, so aren't we in need of a few explorers? We can't completely trust what a few small fry from the opposing forces say.

In short, from the moment they met Aislin, their escape route was cut off. Either he would die, or the others would die after they were no longer of any value!

Compared to Gunnar and the Great Han, this was a problem that seemed impossible to solve.

Lorne guessed that Aislin was probably worried about something when he was wasting time with these weaklings.

For example, this recruitment was just a prelude; the real purpose was to set a trap in the Black Sun Tower to kill Aislin.

What if that's possible?

The so-called "source seed" probably excited him a lot, and Lorne could see the fervor in his eyes when the source seed was mentioned.

Torn between the two desires, he couldn't resist his lust and decided to explore the abyss alone, but he also had reservations.

That's why a few people were spared to scout ahead.

It's Gunnar again, the seventh seat in Hotarubi no Mori e.

While he was up there, Gunnar would definitely remember the hatred that Aislin had drawn for him, and even if he survived this trip, he would still face considerable trouble.

In addition to the burly man, there was also the fallen lich at the bottom of the pit.

This time, Lorne really couldn't think of any way to survive.

No matter who comes, it won't work.

Great Han, Gunnar, Aislin, Fallen Lich...

This configuration is beyond my ability to fix myself!

With just a few simple spells and martial arts?
