Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf

Just now...what happened?

Vesemir clenched his fists and glanced to his right.

The end of the long stick that was inserted diagonally into the soil shook a few more times, knocking the fallen needles aside.

I was disarmed?

He looked up at the soft white clouds in the sky in confusion, trying to recall, but was interrupted.

"Do you want to try again?" The voice of the young demon hunter came from behind.

Vesemir came back to his senses and turned to look at Aylin.

The azure pupils and ice-blue eye whites seemed particularly strange and mysterious at this moment.

The demon hunter master was silent for two seconds, and after grasping the long stick inserted next to him, he took a deep breath and said:

"Of course."

Since he passed the mountain trial and became a demon hunter, he has never experienced a situation where his weapon was knocked away, but he didn't even know what happened.

After taking a deep breath, he concentrated and held his breath.

Vesemir stared at Aylin.

The young demon hunter, however, relaxedly lifted the long stick with two fingers of one hand, and waved his free left hand at him, signaling the demon hunter master to attack.

The whole person was full of weaknesses, and he was completely defenseless.

But Vesemir didn't dare to be so careless at this moment.

He took a deep breath, allowing the abundant oxygen to blend into the blood and improve his concentration.

The mutant organ then stimulated the kidneys to secrete pheromones, making the heart beat faster and delivering more energy to the brain.

This was a little trick he had come up with after so many years of fighting, which could improve the acuity of various senses.

In the words that Ellin often used, it was probably similar to a temporary increase of perception by 5%.

Immediately afterwards.

At a certain moment, Vesemir suddenly kicked his right foot and rushed to less than half a meter in front of the young demon hunter at a lightning speed.

At this time.

He still maintained that relaxed and harmless look.

But Vesemir didn't dare to blink his eyes or turn his body.

He was afraid that once Ellin's figure left his sight, he would disappear.

"Whoosh~"

The stick swung through the air, aiming directly at the top of Aylin's head.

The next second.

Vesemir, see it!

Aylin's eyes lit up with ice blue.

The long stick pointed at the ground was suddenly grasped, and then he ducked to avoid Vesemir's attack and suddenly raised it.

When it was swung in the air, the other hand suddenly grasped the end of the stick.

"Swish~"

The speed of the long stick swung doubled, hitting Vesemir's wrist.

All this happened in less than half a second.

Although the demon hunter master was concentrating and saw the whole process clearly, he had no time to react.

His body seemed to have entered a quagmire, extremely sluggish.

Constantly fighting with his brain.

Vesemir knew that this was because the body's reaction speed could not keep up with the perception.

His physical fitness has always been slower than the brain's reaction, or his perception ability is much higher than strength and agility.

This was an advantage in the past.

Because no one could force him to this extent, and he would not take the initiative to find such monsters and humans to be abused.

But today, it was different...

He could only watch the long stick quickly approach his wrist.

The only thing he could do was to hold the end of the stick tightly with both hands.

"Bang~"

Vesemir's wrist was hit.

The Quen shield on the outer layer of the wrist was directly knocked out, and the light golden light shook violently.

If he hadn't been prepared this time.

The huge force that was completely different from before drinking the potion almost made him reproduce the scene of his weapon being knocked away.

"I lost again!"

Vesemir sighed, threw the long stick down, and stuck it into the ground.

He is a person who is willing to accept defeat.

Or.

Among the demon hunters who can live for a long time, at least among the demon hunters of the Wolf School, there are not many who have strong self-esteem in combat power.

After all.

When accepting a commission, it is okay if it is okay, and it is not okay if it is not okay.

Powerful monsters will not let go of the demon hunters because of their pride and negligence.

Therefore.

Although he was a little unhappy about losing to his apprentice, it was not that unbearable.

At this time.

Vesemir noticed that the ice blue in Erin's eyes had faded a lot, and it gradually disappeared almost as he finished speaking.

He touched his wrist, which seemed to have phantom pain, thoughtfully, and asked curiously:

"What are the effects of the red and blue potions?"

After fully accepting the result of losing to the apprentice and relaxing, he became more curious about the effects of the potions.

"Dang~Dang~"

Erin did not rush to answer. After taking two breaths, he first took out two doses of giant ghoul decoction and blizzard from the reagent bag and handed them to Vesemir.

Then he quickly took out the detoxifying white honey, drank it in two gulps, and quickly broke out in a sweat.

Only then did he breathe twice and come back to life.

In actual combat.

The effect of the giant ghoul decoction combined with the blizzard is several times stronger than expected.

It can make Aelin, who has almost no ability to fight back, beat Vesemir without any ability to fight back. The extent of the increase in strength is terrifying.

But at the same time.

Compared with the side effects of last night's experiment, under the high-intensity battle.

But in just one or two minutes, a large amount of adrenaline is secreted, toxins accumulate...

The heart beats violently and uncontrollably, causing severe angina.

In addition.

The brain was also swollen uncomfortably, and the temples on both sides felt like they were about to explode.

"Fortunately, I discussed it with Vesemir first, otherwise it would be a huge weakness if it were to be used in actual combat."

Aylin mentally evaluated the pros and cons:

"For the time being, if it is not necessary, it is better to use the two magic potions separately first. After your physical fitness improves, try using them at the same time..."

"Are you okay, Aylin?" Vesemir's worried voice came, interrupting his thoughts.

"It's okay." The young demon hunter shook his head gently.

Then he pointed at the giant ghoul decoction and blizzard decoction in the hands of the master demon hunter, and told the effects and side effects of the two.

And it was emphasized that in intense battles, the side effects would be greatly enhanced.

Vesemir listened to Aylin's explanation, nodding from time to time and looking at the potion in his hand.

Flashes of shock and admiration flashed from time to time in the dark golden cat eyes.

As an orthodox master witcher.

Adrenaline doesn't have much effect, but in order to hunt powerful monsters, every bit of help is very important.

So he uses it often.

The way to increase your perception during your second attack is through an advanced use of adrenaline.

A temporary increase of five percent was actually not low for him.

It can even be called a personal secret skill that is not passed down.

But the giant ghoul decoction created by Aylin can actually use adrenaline to temporarily increase the overall quality by one-fifth.

It can last for another three hours!

Vesemir didn't know how to evaluate it...

He had a premonition.

The giant ghoul may become the second favorite of the Wolf School after the water ghost.

As for the “blizzard”…

Although he didn't quite understand "time suspension" or anything like that, he had a hunch.

The magic potion "Blizzard" is the magic potion that allows Aylin to surpass him and allow his body to catch up with his perception...

Although the effect of this similar magical skill was somewhat beyond his understanding.

"...The points to note about these two potions are probably these..." Aylin asked, "Master Vesemir, do you want to try it now?"

After hearing this, Vesemir looked up at the sky and suppressed his eagerness to try:

"No, it's getting late. Let's go have lunch first, otherwise the delicious food in the cafeteria will be gone..."

"Together?" Master Demon Hunter invited.

Aylin shook his head and said:

"No, Lysa will bring me lunch at noon. It's almost time now."

"Oh~" Vesemir exclaimed, "Does the temple priest personally serve and deliver meals? It's really jealous. Your treatment in the temple is much better than mine."

The young witcher ignored his strangeness.

"For detoxification." He thought for a moment and threw two bottles of white honey from the reagent bag to the master demon hunter.

Then he walked towards the sanctuary.

Vesemir is already his senior guinea pig, the kind who can write his own experimental reports.

So Ailin left without saying anything.

But I didn’t take a few steps…

"Aelin!"

Vesemir suddenly stopped him.

But when he turned around, the master demon hunter hesitated for a long time before he said in a somewhat twisted tone:

"Although the people of the Cat School are scum, their swordsmanship concepts still have some merit..."

"It is indeed very effective against humans or demi-humans, such as elves, dwarves, and halflings!"

Are you worried about me because I gave up the cat school two-handed sword in the first battle?

Aylin naturally wouldn't give up because of this.

Quite the opposite.

It was this battle that made him realize more deeply the advantages of Cat School swordsmanship, just like different sword oils have miraculous effects on different types of monsters.

However, out of curiosity about Vesemir's sudden change of attitude, Aylin turned around and asked:

"Why do you say that suddenly?"

Vesemir heard his question, and after a few seconds of silence, he said:

"Didn't you say that the Wild Hunt are all people with long ears?"

"So the skills of those scumbags should be practiced and used, and they must be practiced and used normally..."

"and……"

The master witcher sighed:

"Now the demon hunters' opponents are no longer just monsters..."

…

After separating from the Master Witcher and returning to the Sanctuary, Arryn happened to meet Lysa at the door.

It's just a pity that since Aylin caught him jumping and humming that day, he hasn't seen such an energetic side of the little priest.

and……

Perhaps because of Ianna's teasing in the morning, Lysa did not chat with him like she did in the past.

After handing him the basket with lunch with a blushing face, she hurriedly left, as if there was some monster in the sanctuary.

Finished lunch.

The witcher found a place in the deep mountains and old forests of the Mahakam Mountains behind the sanctuary and tried the Moon Dust and Dragon Dream.

What can I say about the result?

Dragon Dream is not like in the game, it is just an ordinary bomb that cannot destroy the monster's lair.

Instead, you can choose between two methods when throwing.

One is a bomb with an explosion radius of about three meters, which is very common.

But this requires a slight modification and the addition of a flint.

But the other mode is much more interesting and useful.

After being thrown out without modification, Dragon Dream will release a ball of extremely flammable but somewhat thick gas in a very short period of time.

These gases are very viscous and can hardly be blown away by ordinary natural wind.

But after hitting the target, it is easy to be carried by the target's moving airflow and follow the target.

This characteristic is very interesting.

Ailin can throw a few more Dragon Dreams to increase the power.

In the deep mountains of Mahakam, the brown bear turned into charcoal can prove that the power of the kite tactic of throwing bombs is really top.

Of course.

This brown bear also proved a truth again, although Duomao is weak to fire.

But most of the valuable spoils on Duomao are also weak to fire...

Compared with the unexpectedly powerful Dragon Dream, the Moon Dust is not so good.

Not only is the explosion power very weak, it is basically equivalent to the paper fireworks used for weddings in the previous life.

The silver flakes-like contents released have no harm to ordinary creatures.

This can only be tested next time when encountering ghost creatures, vampires, and werewolves.

However.

Because of the possible crisis of May Day, the demon hunter still added this bomb of unknown power to the refining schedule.

…

After sorting out the effects of the new formulas, the life of the demon hunter became regular again.

Especially after Ianna spent two days arranging the May Festival.

What Ailin had to do every day was to stay in the Holy Icon Hall to learn the rituals from the high priest, and then refine the moon dust and ghost oil in his spare time.

During this period.

He also learned two rituals: fire divination and spirit descent ritual.

[Name: Fire Divination]

[Type: Magic Ritual]

[Requirement: Ritual Learning LV5]

[Materials: Small Fire Pile * 1, Fifth Element * 2, Ashes * 2, Horse Lime * 5, Crow's Eye Wood * 2, Wax * 1]

[Function: Watch the burning flames and witness the events that are happening. ]

[Note: Be careful of the flames and the shadows dancing in the light]

Fire divination is a divination spell like water divination.

It's just that fire divination is more dangerous, more difficult to maintain, and can't peek into the past.

But when it comes to divination of what is happening, it is several times more effective than water divination, and it is also much cheaper.

[Name: Spiritual Seduction Ceremony]

[Type: Magical Ceremony]

[Requirement: Ritual Studies LV5]

[Materials: A little blood of the deceased or his relatives*1, Mandrake root*1, Cave Gray Mushroom*2, Monkshood*2, Sulfur*2]

[Function: Get in touch with the soul of the deceased. The soul brought back by the Spiritual Seduction Ceremony has the perception ability of the previous life, and will retain all memories, including the scene of death. ]

[Note: Unless it voluntarily returns or is killed again, the soul will not return to the kingdom of the dead.

The Spiritual Seduction Ceremony can summon all souls of the same bloodline within 20 meters, and it is not recommended to be held in the family cemetery.]

Rituals and magic related to the dead have always been very taboo.

Not only the wizards of the warlock management organization of the northern continent strictly prohibit necromancy.

The major orthodox churches regard such spells and rituals as blasphemy against the dead.

But for some reason, Ianna still taught him this ritual, but didn't let him set it up like other rituals.

When Ailin asked about it, she just said meaningfully:

"For the dead, truth and dignity are more important than rest in peace most of the time."

The demon hunter was a little confused at the time.

Truth and dignity are more important than rest in peace...

Can a high priest of a righteous god really say such words?

In addition...

They have only known each other for a few days, and their relationship doesn't seem to be that good, right?
