Chapter 15 Can fight!
Jared Kaladin never chose the life of a witcher, and he has long since grown tired of it.
Because of the so-called "law of accidents" guided by fate, Judd was given away by his father like goods to the madman-like cat-sect demon hunter, and his tormented life began.
The protracted sword training added countless scars to young Judd's body; the inhumane grass trial, potions and toxins destroyed his spirit to pieces.
Sword training created corpses, and potion transformation also created corpses. In the end, Judd looked around and found that there was no one new except himself.
He became the only witcher of his generation to succeed in the Green Grass Trial. Later he learned that this was a common occurrence, and what was even more common was that there were no successful trials.
What's even more frightening is that Judd realizes that in this crazy and depressing life, he has gradually become the kind of madman he hates. Acting in extreme ways without considering the consequences, being radical and violent.
Demon hunters' potions always have various side effects. The side effects of the Cat School are mental destruction. The potion enters the brain and breeds extreme lunatics.
After leaving the castle of the Cat School, Judd used his remaining sanity to think about his future. He had never chosen a witcher, nor did he want to choose a witcher.
Judd was inspired by the bandit gang he met in his spare time, but he wanted to form a bigger one. After receiving several commissions from witchers, Judd soon began to recruit bandits to form his own team.
What Judd wants is not something low-class like a bandit group. What he wants to form is a caravan, a team that can stably provide him with enough funds and allow him to live a peaceful life.
As a result, Judd's gang grew larger and larger, accompanied by extremely rapid personnel changes. At the same time, in order to speed up the accumulation of funds, he acted as a gang of robbers to seize property from the weaker ones, and as a mercenary prayed for wealth from the strong.
Funds were accumulated quickly, and Judd did have some business acumen. If he hadn't become a witcher, he might have become a good businessman.
This time it turned out to be the last step in Judd's plan as a gang of robbers. He hooked up with a powerful wizard who was hundreds of years old to smuggle an important spellcasting material for him.
The casting material has now been lost by him.
Judd lurked deep in the bushes, watching the noble boy beside the campfire send out all the soldiers and leave him alone. A clear crystal the size of a fist was held in his hand, thrown up and then caught, like a toy.
Judd's eyes lit up with every move of Lann. The thing in that boy's hand like a toy was his future!
When the scattered soldiers move a little further and disperse a little further, I will pounce on this guy and slit his throat!
Suddenly, perhaps because it was inconvenient to maneuver while wearing armor, the boy took off his hand.
The crystal passed by the palm and fell to the ground, whirling and bouncing into... the bonfire.
The young man seemed stunned for a moment. He looked at his palm, where the crystal fell, and then at the bonfire. He didn't seem to react, and he seemed to think the result was too funny.
Then, he made a helpless gesture.
Then, don't care.
The crystal crackled and burned inside the campfire.
he does not! Tube! Got it!
"You brat!" An angry roar that was not like a human sounded from the depths of the jungle, and Judd jumped out like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
Lann immediately pulled out the long sword beside him, and as soon as he parried, he felt a surge of power pouring down the spine of his sword.
"Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang" continued to sound, and Judd almost waved the long sword in his hand into the wind. At the same time, it was accompanied by the pace and rotation of a butterfly through flowers. Every time he turned around, he was preparing for the next one. Power, every turn brought another series of slashes.
In the dark night, it was like a big windmill that kept bursting out sparks, and he started dancing!
Lann recognized the move used by the opponent at a glance. It was a later move in the Witcher's [Light Strike] series, even a ultimate move!
[Swirling Sword Dance]: A spinning attack that can attack all nearby enemies. Continuous attacks consume vitality and adrenaline. Adrenaline Toxin Increase: +5%. 5/5
This is a skill that requires investing 20 points in the [Combat] skill to activate it. It is also a watershed skill for melee-type demon hunters. With this skill, demon hunters finally have sword skills. The ability to "take away the opponent with one set".
Seeing that the demon hunter in front of him could hardly stop spinning, Lann decisively let go of the sword in his hand, rolled his body backwards, and suddenly fell into the fire.
The demon hunter's sword kept dancing, clanging like iron and striking randomly at Lann's armor, without breaking through.
The thick armor collided with the burning bonfire, scattering hot wood chips and forcing the witcher a few steps away.
Lan opened his visor, tossed the crystal he picked up from the fire, and glanced provocatively at the witcher opposite.
He also has skills, and they are skills that the opponent has no way of learning!
[Moveless as a Mountain]: The damage taken from attacks while dodging is reduced by 80%. Adrenaline Toxin Increase: +4%. (4/5)
Judd didn’t think so much, he just thought that the armor worn by the noble boy across from him was too thick. The Cat School has never been good at breaking armor, so it's normal that it can't cut.
"Boy, hand over the crystal in your hand. I'll leave right away. The fight between us is meaningless." "It's meaningful."
Lann pulled out another long sword from the side of the campfire. This was his camp. Weapons have been deployed around for a long time.
"Meaning? Boy, do you know who I am?"
Lan En used the flickering firelight to see clearly the cat-headed necklace on the other person's chest, and felt a little calmer. As early as when he knew that the leader of the thieves group was a demon hunter, Lan had guessed that among the major demon hunters, only the cat school could do such a thing.
The Cat School is rich in assassins, who are good at swords, like to wear light armor, and have no ability to break armor. There is a saying in the game that "if you dance a certain way, you will die unless the enemy dies". Lann put on a knight's full armor just to defend against them.
And according to Lann's observation, the opponent did not release the seal after coming up. What he was most afraid of was that the opponent would raise his hand to make his face angry or hypnotize him, which would really be impossible to fight.
Now is the best situation. The demon hunters in this world are not as perverted as in the game. Instead, they are like a combination of novels and American TV series. The demon hunters are closer to the position of "warriors".
Extraordinary, but not that extraordinary. Can fight!
Out of etiquette, it's time to say a few harsh words.
"I will know who you are later." Lan En said. "The question now is, do you know who I am!"
