242. Knowledge is power
Meryl's hands were trembling a little at the moment.
The characteristics of the composite type of monster appeared on Garrett's body, and each of them was not an ordinary monster, and he deformed different parts and different organs to make himself an unnatural monster.
The splicing of the characteristics of these monsters has been studied and arranged by countless monsters and creatures, and even experts in the structure of the human body, and the strength of these unrelated creatures has increased rapidly in power after a single attempt.
Blood trailed Meryl's palm, and the damage she had inflicted on the other party had fully healed in just a few breaths, and Grant's chest had turned red.
Meryl couldn't take it.
It's not because I can't beat Garrett.
It's because Garrett was a weak person she could pinch to death ten minutes ago, but she didn't know what was going on, and suddenly the scientist turned into a terrifying monster, and a kind she knew very well: shapeshifters.
It took her life to become who she is.
When I was a child, I went through so much hard training with my sister under the supervision of my teacher, and when I was young, I hunted monsters with Grant, and all kinds of things happened, and after I separated from Grant, I suffered so many betrayals, and in turn betrayed others, killing the teacher who regarded herself as half a daughter just to get the masterpiece of her life - "The Staff of the Peeler".
And then what, and then what happened?
She had the ultimate weapon in her hand to hunt down all the shapeshifters, and was about to cast her ambitions when suddenly the witcher was a thing of the past.
Yes, they have had times when they have been strong and sometimes they have been weak, depending on how rampant the monsters are, and since the Crusades, the number of witchers has been declining day by day.
But she never imagined that there would be a day when she would disappear.
They were unemployed, and in an instant, all the monsters were wiped out, and all that was left was a few inconsequential kitten-like creatures.
She was at a loss, looking at this strange new world, not knowing what to do.
She became a bounty hunter, and then again, she was suitable for the profession, but it was just killing, killing, killing, killing, and she was used to it.
Dancing on the tip of a knife, she could die at any moment, gradually numb and sinking, out of the task, take the money, squander, out of the task, take the money, squander, she kept repeating the same thing.
Until she received a letter.
From an old friend who has long been forgotten.
Meryl took a deep breath and adjusted her balance, while looking sideways at Grant, who was not lightly injured.
The short staff she held in her hand was supposed to be able to destroy the shapeshifters' ability to transform by influencing their control center, but Garrett's physical change was not maintained by his shapeshifting ability, but by the supporting mechanism in his body.
She remembers that day.
They are also at such an absolute disadvantage.
Grant's two best friends weren't there at the time, just her and him.
Grant has changed a lot from what he remembered many years ago, taller, more mature, bearded, and much more handsome, but he hasn't changed at all.
Just like the two of them back then.
It's a pity she's changed.
The two cooperated as tacitly as before in that battle, but their thoughts and concepts never overlapped again.
Their bodies are so familiar, but their spirits are drifting away.
"How did you get this power, I don't believe it's a reproducible artifact of technology. Meryl asked.
Garrett didn't care about spitting out dragon breath either:
"You want to stall, you want to know how long I'm going to be able to stay at this level, unfortunately, it's been long enough after my training, but you're surprised, but I don't think there's anything surprising about it.
"Do you know how much it costs to be in a transfiguration state? And even a human who has been trained to reach what you call a second-order can only last ten minutes before losing his life. ”
Meryl's voice trembled:
"You don't understand at all, it took us so many years to get this power, and you only need to rely on a bottle of potion to get it, even if the cost is great, it's not fair......"
Garrett smiled disdainfully:
"No, do you think you've worked hard enough for decades before, if you're the only supernatural power system that can bring true status and power, then why do the rest of us do all kinds of work to support your existence?
"Do you know how many people I have defeated and eliminated in my position to this day? In order to obtain sufficient educational resources, do you think that your strength is obtained by footprint by footprint?"
Garrett pointed to his brain:
"Do you think what I have here is just some useless mathematical formula? No, it's just a system of knowledge that has been accumulated and verified by human beings over thousands of years, which contains the power of all mankind, and the knowledge is no different from your magic, it is just the inevitable result of the continuous progress of mankind.
"And we are the pioneers, exploring the forbidden path that you cowards dare not look at, do you know how many research institutes are represented behind the results of a research institute?"
Garrett said with pity:
"In fact, the essence of the power we have is no different, it is just the skill of killing your own kind, and you are more unlucky, the path I have taken is more suitable for this era, and my skill is a little bit better than yours. ”
Grant retorted:
"The path we are taking is different from yours, and we are here to make humanity continue to be better......"
Garrett shook his head playfully and said:
"Isn't my path, from the casting of the first weapon, the making of the first trap, and the wailing of the first prey, all of which are symbols of the continuous continuation of human beings by technology, you are just refuting my micro evaluation of you from macro realization, because compressing the profession of witcher into one person is nothing more than killing other creatures.
"We are the same, and I know you better than you think, and I respect you as a group, but the vast majority of you are not great or selfless, and your good friend Miss Stinger has borne me back. ”
The dragon's heart was constantly beating, the elements of the dragon's lung gas scorched everything around him, the metal skin made him invulnerable, the crystallized leather could block most of the magic damage, the semi-elemental ribs, and the stomach that could convert chemical energy at high speed.
They couldn't stop Garrett, and at this moment he was like a humanoid monster, burning with life force and energy reagents, trying to tear these two apart.
"Lilith, they are here for you, do you want to watch them die here? ”
