The Void Pathfinder from the Demon Hunter World
Chapter 41 Hunting
The next day, Marvin returned to Vizima and had a family dinner. He dealt with the concerns of the queen and two sisters and gave gifts bought from Kovir.
After dinner, he chatted with the king for more than an hour.
He told his father that he had killed the wild hunt that was chasing him and handed over the crew's diary as evidence, which finally dispelled the king's father's doubts.
He shared the intelligence he had learned with the king, of course omitting the parts that were not suitable for external transmission, such as the question about the white frost.
His Majesty was actually very optimistic about this son. But now it seems that this son will not be able to inherit the throne in the short term.
However, His Majesty Geidema is in his prime, and Temeria is not in danger of losing the throne in the short term. As the prince once said, if he is really eager to take the throne, it will be a disaster for Temeria.
So this matter passed.
The king also gave a brief account of the diplomatic progress with the Kingdom of Kaedwen in the northeast.
The Kingdom of Kaedwen has never found the culprit of the kidnapping case in Velen from the Ben Ade Academy, and due to the strength and connections of the Mage Academy, it cannot force further. Things are at a standstill.
At the same time, Kaedwen has to face military pressure and economic blockades from both Temeria and Aedirn, and the nobles whose quality of life has seriously declined have begun to express dissatisfaction with the king.
The Kingdom of Kaedwen is currently in a mess, and the war with Aedirn is completely untenable.
His Majesty Geidema has reached a consensus with Aedirn, either handing over the people or blocking it for at least one year before discussing compensation.
Before leaving, Marvin gave the "Moon Blade" obtained from the secret laboratory on the Temple Island of Novigrad to the King's father. This is the most suitable gift among all the spoils of war.
His Majesty Geidema was very happy.
Marvin stayed at home for a week. In addition to repairing weapons and armor, he has been summarizing his gains in the past six months at home, and through training to adapt to the huge improvement of perception, as well as the integration of swordsmanship, sigils, magic and bloodline power.
The Wild Hunt will definitely come again, and he can't stay here long.
The trouble with the Lady of the Woods will have to wait, but he hasn't forgotten some small grudges.
...
November 1172, Kosria, a small town in southern Temeria.
Marvin is looking for the huge petrified lizard that failed to be hunted half a year ago.
He didn't accept any tasks or commissions, just for hunting.
He has found the nest of the green monster, but the monster is not at home.
Marvin found the scales that the monster shed in the nest on the top of the mountain. Through the spell "Tracking", he judged that the petrified lizard is far away from its nest, so he had to wait.
...
In the afternoon, Marvin, who was meditating on the top of the mountain, opened his eyes, and the owner of the nest came back.
A giant bird flew from the direction where the sun was setting, and the winter sun made the monster seem to be covered with a layer of golden light.
The petrified lizard flew closer. It was a behemoth with a wingspan of nearly 8 meters, covered with dense scales, with green wings and back and yellow belly. Note ①
Marvin painted himself with the "Queen Seal", pointed the long knife in his right hand at the ground, and looked up at the monster in the air...
Oh~~~~The petrified lizard crowed like a rooster and swooped down.
The monster saw the human below holding a nasty metal object in his hand. It had rich experience and knew that it was a human weapon and it was a bit painful to pierce its body.
It slightly changed its flying posture, spread its wings and climbed again when it was close to the ground, and spit at the enemy.
Marvin moved sideways to avoid the petrified lizard's iconic acid attack.
The strength attribute of 28 and the agility attribute of 28 allowed him to easily move sideways for more than 2 meters in one step. However, the prepared seal could not be used because the distance was too far.
Looking at the petrified lizard circling up again, Marvin looked at the Gus pattern in his hand again and put away the long knife.
The monster circling back swooped down again, and Marvin stared at the petrified lizard's movements. Excellent eyesight and dynamic vision allowed him to now see the petrified lizard's flying movements clearly. He had memorized the movements of the monster adjusting its flight posture in the air last time.
This time, the monster planned to attack with its hard beak, and it swooped down!
Alder Seal - Bone-piercing.
The petrified lizard ran head-on into the gushing telekinetic impact, and he tried to open his wings, but still hit the ground head-on and almost rolled down the mountain.
Marvin teleported to the monster's left wing, and stabbed the petrified lizard's left abdomen with his right knife, cutting down to expand the wound, squatting down, slapping the ground with his left hand, "Yarden Seal - Giantization", drawing the knife, and rolling back to get away.
The monster screamed, regardless of the injury, swept its wings, and turned to face the enemy. It was aroused by the pain and rushed towards the small human regardless of anything.
The repeatedly improved Yaden Seal still has limited suppression power on this giant monster. But it doesn't matter, Marvin can already see its movements clearly, and even make certain predictions, and his body reaction can fully keep up.
Seeing that the two sides were about to collide, Marvin jumped up to avoid the bite of the sharp beak, grabbed the flesh crown on the monster's head with his left hand, stepped on its side face with his feet, and stabbed the monster's left eye with a knife.
Oh! Ga Ga... The petrified lizard shook its head in pain.
Marvin drew his knife, exerted force with his feet, followed the monster's force, jumped back, flipped, landed, stared at the monster, and slid back for a while before stopping.
The petrified lizard was blind in its left eye, and didn't care where the enemy was. It fluttered on the ground, blood splattered, and the huge wind pressure raised dust and gravel.
Marvin held the knife and retreated, avoiding the wind pressure. He watched the monster struggle, and his footsteps moved with the monster to ensure that he stayed in its blind spot.
Logically, the knife that hit the monster's eye must have hurt its brain, but it was still strong.
The monster was scared and turned around and flapped its wings to escape.
Instantly, Marvin appeared at the neck of the petrified lizard, holding the knife with both hands, the runes on the blade lit up, and chopped down with all his strength.
With a crisp sound, the petrified lizard stopped all movements instantly. Its cervical vertebrae were cut off and it collapsed to the ground.
Marvin jumped off the monster's corpse, avoiding the blood spurting out of the huge left eye, and slapped the monster's hard scales with his left hand.
[Hint: Found the remains of a magical creature, do you want to submit it? ] [Yes] [No]
Choose yes.
[Hint: Submit successfully, reward physical attribute +1. ]
Wipe the long knife clean, put it away, the hunt is over, go down the mountain.
Next, the Cyclops.
…
Carcano, a rural area in southern Temeria.
It was still the same as when I left last time. Half of this small village built by the lake was on the lake, and the wooden houses on the lake were propped up by logs about 1 meter above the water.
The fisherman's fishing boat was parked under the house at night.
It was winter now, and the lake began to freeze slightly, and few fishermen went out to fish.
Marvin, who had just had breakfast in the tavern, walked out of the village and headed east to find the Cyclops that had defeated him.
Half a year had passed, and the destroyed trucks and the bodies of the killed humans had disappeared. But the Cyclops's giant footprints that were more than one meter long could still be found.
According to the information given by the tavern owner and tracking the giant's footprints, Marvin turned to the hilly area in the south.
More than 2 hours later, Marvin found an unexpected situation at a three-way intersection.
On the road on the left in front, a caravan was fleeing for their lives, and behind them was the Cyclops that Marvin had been looking for for several days.
If this monster stood up straight, it would probably be taller than two stories, and ordinary knights could only hit its knees and thighs.
The skin of this cyclops was dark red, with gray-white stratum corneum on its hands, feet and joints, and some strange white totem patterns painted on its upper body.
This was a very old cyclops, and its upper body and forearms were made of simple armor made of wooden boards and ropes. In its right hand, it held a broken tree as a weapon, and it was obviously experienced in combat.
"Run this way!" Marvin shouted at the fleeing people.
There were woods on both sides of the road, and there was too little space to hide. He hoped that the few people could lead the giant over. The fork in the road was a good place, with enough space.
"Merritelli, someone is coming to save us." A caravan fellow grabbed the backpack strap tightly and ran forward desperately.
"Fuck! Help me!" The merchant ran at the end to ask for help, but the two mercenaries in front ignored him.
Marvin stood in place, brushed the "Quen Seal", and waited...
When the distance was enough, he raised his hand and threw a pyrotechnic.
The dark red fireball flew towards the cyclops with a red tail flame.
Boom! The monster took the blow with its left hand blocking its face, and then continued to move forward without paying any attention, but it turned to Marvin.
The two mercenaries ran away without looking back.
The guy held the backpack tightly and ran away.
"Bob, stop right there. Damn, my money!" The businessman was out of breath, but still persisted...
After the rest of the people ran away, Marvin pulled away from the giant, moved his neck and hands and feet, and started hunting.
The Cyclops roared and rushed over waving the tree trunk like sweeping the floor.
After Marvin waited for the giant's momentum to rise and could not be easily stopped, he teleported and appeared on its right shoulder, just about to swing the knife to cut her neck.
The Cyclops reacted quickly. Although it could not make big movements during the charge, its left hand slapped its right shoulder while running.
Because this monster had no hair and its right ear was so deformed that it could not be grasped, Marvin was currently barely standing on the monster's shoulder.
Seeing the giant hand coming at him from the corner of his eye, Marvin put away his long knife and slid to the giant's back, holding the edge of the simple wooden armor with both hands and swinging to the side, because the giant was still charging, which was not easy.
When the giant stopped charging, Marvin was ready to climb onto its left shoulder.
The monster felt that the little man was on its back, but it was not panicked. It swung the tree trunk and smashed it on its back.
Marvin heard the sound of the wind, looked up and saw the fallen tree trunk, teleported, and appeared on the giant's right shoulder again. Without waiting for his feet to step firmly, he held the Gus pattern nail with both hands in reverse and nailed it on the giant's right shoulder. The long knife inserted into the giant's shoulder socket, and Marvin fell back, while holding the knife with both hands and cutting backwards.
Seeing that the giant's left hand was about to hit him again, Marvin used his feet to pull out the long knife and leaned back to kick away from the giant, teleported, and fell to the ground a few meters away, falling on his back on the ground, and slid a distance before stopping.
Quinn's shield was shattered, but he was not injured. It was a pity that the blow just now did not completely cut off the giant's shoulder tendons.
The Cyclops slapped his right shoulder with his left hand, touched it, and seemed to be unaffected. He rumbled towards Marvin again, but this time he did not charge.
Marvin added the Quen shield to himself when the giant ran over, waiting for it to come.
The Cyclops stopped when he was still four or five meters away from Marvin, and hit him on the head with the tree stick in his right hand.
Marvin had the experience of the last failed hunt, and knew that he could not get close at this time. The air wave from the tree stick would attack everything around indiscriminately.
Yarden Seal - Giantization, Marvin slapped the huge purple magic circle and rushed to the side to avoid the smash and air wave. After standing up, Marvin teleported to the giant's right shoulder again.
The Cyclops was still bending over and stretching his arms to smash. Marvin stood at its right shoulder blade, holding the Gus pattern with both hands, accurately inserted it into the wound just now, and repeated the same trick.
The long knife cut off the thick tendon of the giant's right shoulder with a click.
The giant's right arm, which had just been raised, drooped weakly. The stick was still in the monster's right hand, but its right arm could no longer be raised.
The Cyclops roared angrily and turned around suddenly.
Marvin, who had just grasped the giant's back, was thrown out by the huge centrifugal force. He turned his head to check the height, teleported, landed on his back, rolled behind him, and staggered back several steps before he stood firm again.
The monster found that he couldn't raise his right arm, even if he let go of the stick in his hand, so he picked up the stick with his left hand and rumbled over with his right arm.
The Cyclops didn't charge, but just walked steadily. When he got close, he raised his right foot and stomped it hard.
Marvin estimated that the rolling distance was not enough to avoid this "war trampling", so he teleported 5 meters back.
2 seconds later, the smoke and dust dissipated, and Marvin raised his hand and fired 2 ice arrows at the huge one-eyed monster.
Roar~, the giant howled, threw away the stick, covered his eyes with his left hand and jumped on the spot. But Marvin saw that the second ice arrow only hit the giant's thick eyelids.
Bang! Bang! Bang! As if there was an earthquake, the ground within a radius of more than ten meters shook.
Marvin couldn't even stand steadily. Quinn's shield exploded. He staggered back to the point where he was out of the shock before he stood still. After replenishing his shield, he waited in place. If he went there now, he would definitely be injured by the shock, and then he couldn't run away.
The giant jumped for more than ten seconds before stopping. It blinked its one eye a few times and shook its head. There was only a small bleeding spot on the monster's huge eyeball, and the actual damage was very limited.
The Cyclops paused for a while and began to look around.
Maybe Marvin stood a little far away and his vision had not recovered. The giant didn't find the enemy, but found that its weapon was crushed by himself.
The Cyclops identified the direction slightly and walked back the way he came. It wanted to escape.
Marvin hurriedly ran to catch up. If this giant ran away, with the monster's recovery ability, it would be fine in a short time.
The Cyclops's own footsteps were huge, and the ground was vibrating slightly. It didn't feel that there was a little man chasing behind it, and walked along the dirt road with big strides.
Marvin knew he had few chances, so he teleported to the right foot of the Cyclops, which had just stepped firmly. He held the Gus pattern tightly with both hands, calmed down, and slashed horizontally!
Clang...
This knife had a rhythm that had never been seen before, and even the Gus pattern made a cheering buzzing sound.
The long knife broke the monster's tough skin and cut its tendons.
Marvin didn't have time to feel the aftereffect of the knife, and rolled sideways, slightly embarrassed and away from the giant's feet.
Maybe the knife was too fast, or maybe the nerves in the giant's heel were not sensitive, the monster didn't feel it at all.
The next time it stepped on its right foot, it couldn't push the ground with force, and knelt on its right knee with a thud, and its left leg split forward and fell sideways. The giant supported himself with his only remaining left hand and turned his head to see what happened to his right foot.
Good opportunity!
Marvin immediately teleported to the giant's right shoulder, and the long knife stabbed into the giant's giant eye from the corner of the giant's eye, and then slashed horizontally to break the eyeball, and teleported again to the giant's left shoulder and slashed horizontally.
Gus pattern cut a huge wound on the left side of the giant's neck.
Marvin swung his sword with all his might, but he couldn't stand still and slid back along the giant's right shoulder. He jumped back with his feet, and inserted the long sword into the outside of the giant's left arm, sliding down with dozens of kilograms of weight.
The giant was in unbearable pain and raised his left hand to cover his eyes...
Marvin was thrown out again, flipped on the ground, and rolled twice before standing up.
The Cyclops fell to the ground with his eyes covered, and the wound on his neck pumped blood under pressure, staining a large area of the ground red.
Marvin took a few steps back and gasped, watching the monster rolling and wailing on the dirt road.
If the Cyclops didn't get up again, he didn't plan to attack again. Although the few seconds just now were short, he had already tried his best.
He was almost exhausted now, and he had to slow down.
Facing such a huge monster with such strong vitality, he lacked a way to kill with one blow.
The magic reading time was too long, and he was destined to be a lone ranger. Without anyone to cooperate, reading the bar and using the big move was simply courting death.
In this regard, he was temporarily at a loss.
Speaking of magic alone, he was only at the level of a beginner wizard, but his special fighting style and magic source physique made him flexible and durable enough when using small spells.
The giant wailed and rolled for several minutes, and the ground, bushes and trees within a radius of dozens of meters were all messed up.
Blood had accumulated into several large and small pools of blood.
Gradually, the monster was unable to roll, closed its one eye and crawled on its left arm and legs, it wanted to leave this hell.
Marvin held a long knife, stepped on the blood mud with his metal boots, and chased after it.
He jumped on the giant's dragging right hand and jumped on the giant's back continuously.
The giant might just want to leave and didn't care, or it might be because of vague perception, it completely ignored it and insisted on crawling, dragging a long blood mark on the muddy road.
Stopping at the back of the giant's neck, Marvin found the right angle and inserted the long knife into the back of the Cyclops's head.
Roar! The monster roared unwillingly and tried to stand up with one hand on the ground.
Marvin held the knife with both hands and pressed it downward to the left, and a crisp sound came from the giant's spine.
Then to the right, snap.
The huge monster finally stopped, its left arm could no longer support its upper body, and it fell down with a loud bang.
Bang.
The giant's head hit the ground and it was completely motionless.
Marvin stood at the back of the giant's neck, slashing it again and again, until it was bloody and bloody, and finally cut the monster's cervical vertebrae.
He looked up and looked around, there was no one else, so he jumped off the giant's body and touched the monster's body.
[Hint: Found the remains of a magical creature, do you want to submit it? ][Yes][No]
Choose yes.
[Hint: Submit successfully, reward strength attribute +2, constitution attribute +1. ]
The huge giant's body disappeared, and the blood disappeared with it.
Except Marvin, no one else saw this amazing scene.
This was the case in this era. Whether it was civilians, wealthy businessmen or nobles, they rarely left their residences, and there were very few pedestrians on the road.
