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

Chapter 242 Corrupted Tree Demon

While ice wizards may not be the most lethal among all classes, their control is undoubtedly among the best, as ice possesses properties of slowing and freezing.

In addition, Estelle's exceptional crowd control abilities allow her to quickly control all fast-moving vines.

"Be careful!" Having experienced the Thunder Mountains and with his spiritual growth, Lorne had gained some experience in dealing with these extraordinary creatures that extend into vines.

The moment the black liquid seeped into the soil, the ground beneath their feet suddenly churned violently!

Seven or eight thicker vines with a dark sheen broke through the soil, intertwining like a cage to block all escape routes, their tips split open and covered with sharp teeth, and a foul stench wafted over.

These vines' attacks, like those of the lightning-struck wood sprites, are highly intelligent.

Three arrows were aimed at Estelle's lower body, four were thrusting at Lorne's vitals from different angles, and the rest hovered on the periphery, ready to fill the gap at any moment.

What's even more troublesome is that the dark purple moss on their surface is secreting a murky mist that carries a strong sense of spiritual erosion.

With his enhanced spirituality, Lorne's perception of danger became even stronger. The icy blue starlight in his eyes swirled rapidly, capturing the trajectory of every vine, its weak points, and the fluctuations in the flow of negative energy.

"Find its true form!" Lorne acted before Estelle, his footwork suddenly changing as he unleashed the Nine Manifestations of the Soaring Dragon technique.

law.

Several afterimages emerged from the narrow space where his direction was blocked. He narrowly avoided two stabbing attacks and gripped Shadow Hunter in reverse.

The black longsword hummed in my hand, and the Heavenly River Qi attached to the blade flowed like the Milky Way.

"Break!"

The black longsword did not slash straight down, but instead targeted the vines, specifically the points where the energy flow was most stagnant, and slashed diagonally across them.

These are subtle flaws that can only be detected after spiritual elevation. Even with strong mental power, it is difficult to discern whether the flow of energy is blocked.

With a few muffled thuds like leather tearing, the three vines snapped, and the black liquid that spurted out was frozen in mid-air by the frost released by Estelle.

The icy aura spread rapidly into the distance, reaching all the way to the low wall in the distance, where the cold air quickly froze the stone wall.

"Boom!" The low wall shattered before it was completely frozen, and a huge tumor made of countless intertwined vines was writhing wildly.

It resembled some kind of broken tree spirit, with a dark purple tumor constantly swelling and contracting in the center of its trunk, covered with dense holes that continuously oozed black mucus.

All the vines stretched out from this fleshy growth, baring their fangs and claws.

"This is... a broken, corrupted tree spirit, a monster deeply corrupted and mutated by negative energy," Estelle explained quickly and steadily.

"The weakness of this type of creature lies in the central tumor. Destroying it will render all the vines inactive. However, physical attacks are not very effective, as it has a strong regenerative ability, especially in an environment filled with negative energy."

As if to prove her words, the fleshy buds at the severed ends of the monster's vines began to writhe wildly and regenerate at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, the holes on the tumor were all aimed at the two of them, splashing out dozens of streams of black liquid that emitted a pungent, sour smell!

"Get out of the way, don't get the slime on you!" Estelle shouted coldly, her figure drifting backward as she drew a complex ice-blue rune in front of her with her left hand.

Ice Shield!

A thick, curved, crystal-clear ice shield instantly solidified, blocking the way in front of the two.

Lorne was familiar with this attack method; it was the same slime spray released by the Raven's Nest Wizard, only this time the one sprayed by the Corrupted Treant was corrosive.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

The black corrosive liquid fell onto the ice shield, producing a violent corrosive sound. The surface of the ice shield quickly developed pits and black spots, but it was ultimately not penetrated.

As soon as Estelle spoke, Lorne dodged to the side and back, narrowly avoiding several streaks of black corrosive liquid.

He caught a glimpse of the ice shield being corroded and his heart skipped a beat.

The Lightning-Struck Wood Spirit's attacks not only have a strong paralyzing effect but also a powerful physical impact, and the Corrupted Tree Spirit's attacks are also primarily based on physical impact.

It has a strong corrosive effect.

We cannot simply face difficulties head-on; we must aim for the opponent's weaknesses and strike a fatal blow.

With his spiritual senses fully activated, his gaze pierced through the barrier of vines the monster was waving, locking onto the constantly throbbing, dark purple tumor.

"The life force of these things has been distorted by negative energy. They can regenerate continuously unless their original form is eradicated." Estelle frowned slightly, but did not move her feet.

A burst of magic with frost-like properties erupted as she raised her left hand, her fingers loosely clenched.

Deep blue frost patterns suddenly spread out from her center, and the ground, air, and even the pervasive mist condensed instantly!

The three vines that were wrapping around her ankles froze completely when they were very close to her, their surfaces quickly covered with a thick layer of ice, freezing into ice crystal fragments along with the corrosive mist.

"Estelle, cover me! The core of the corrupted dryad is located deep inside the tumor!"

Between those nauseating openings and closings, clear lake-blue eyes focused on a deep black core the size of a walnut.

This is the point where the energy flow inside the sarcoma is most disordered and also most concentrated.

right here!

Lorne roared, and the Heavenly River Qi within his body surged into motion. Things were different now; Lorne felt that with the current intensity of the battle, there was absolutely no need to activate the double-layered effect.

Simply by circulating his internal energy and combining it with his current physical strength, he was more than capable of dealing with this broken tree demon.

It wasn't as intact as the lightning-struck wood sprite, and the fluctuations it released weren't as powerful. As long as Lorne and Estelle cooperated well, they wouldn't need to put in much effort to deal with it.

"Let's finish this quickly." Estelle didn't want to waste too much magic power before reaching the City of Hope, so she took a small step forward.

He casually held the sword, Deep Cold Whisper, vertically downwards, and lightly touched the ground with the tip.

Ice Vines!

A surge of powerful frost magic erupted, and a ring of icy blue light silently spread out from the tip of the sword.

Wherever the halo passed, the ground froze into a crystal-clear ice surface, and the vines that pierced the ground were instantly locked in the ice and solidified.

In mid-air.

The strangling vines, upon touching the edge of the halo, were immediately covered with a thick layer of frost, and their movements became visibly slow and stiff.

This spell doesn't consume much energy; it's just a regular first-tier spell. Its destructive power isn't very high, but it can provide some control.

The ground was frozen solid, preventing the corrupting tree spirit's vines from breaking through the soil and forming a blockade.

"Lorne, I can freeze the surface and shallow vines for a while, but I need you to deliver the crucial blow to destroy the core of the Corrupted Treant."

Estelle clenched her right hand slightly, and after explaining, she uttered a few cold, short syllables.
