Chapter 355: Weakness
Moments later, the tavern.
"You dissipate your anger first, let's talk slowly."
Marianne helped Gu Yun pinch his shoulders with one hand, and helped him rub his back with the other.
Since Gu Yun came back, his mood seemed to be in an unstable state, and in order to prevent him from demolishing the tavern in a fit of anger, she and Vera could only try to stabilize Gu Yun's mood first.
They never expected that a nocturnal werewolf would be involved in so many incidents, and what they didn't expect was that there were monsters that could escape from Gu Yun's hands.
And just listening to Gu Yun's description, it seems to be some kind of terrifying enemy beyond imagination.
The recovery power of an almost immortal body can be restored again and again even if it is burned to ashes by the remnants of the bombing, and it also has the property of absorbing the power of other living beings.
If it hadn't been for the bad luck of encountering Gu Yun, it would probably have been able to devour the entire Demon Hunters in W City.
"I met a strong enemy for a long time, and I was actually escaped by him!"
Gu Yun was still indignant, for him, the next appearance that could be called a strong enemy might have to wait for a few more years, but more than ten years!
The immortal monster was not only powerful because of its strange abilities, but also because it was one of the few enemies that was not afraid of him - at least until it fled, even after witnessing his strength.
"But don't you think it's a little strange?"
"Before he slipped away, he thought he was stronger than you, and something must have changed his mind." β
"The monster said that he could accompany him for ten minutes, half an hour, an hour, or half a night, but for a real battle, half a night was not even a warm-up."
Even if you don't mention his three-month-long battle to the death in the Abyssal Land, in the early stage of his trip out of the village, there are not a few strong enemies who can fight him for days and nights, and it is really normal for the duel between the truly strong to last for several days.
"That's right, herein lies the problem."
Marianne said, "If it is ruthless, it should be measured by one day, ten days, and a month to be more imposing, if it really has an immortal body as you say, it can consume the opponent to death through a war of attrition." β
Half a night may be a long time for ordinary people, but in the eyes of the strong, it may seem a little petty.
"Unless...... He himself can only hold out for half a night? β
Vera also sensed that something was wrong, the Witcher's perspective on the problem was completely different from Gu Yun's, since the Witcher itself was not strong, so when they fought against unknown opponents, they generally focused on the possible weaknesses of monsters.
Gu Yun described this monster as too powerful, but if the monster created by that mask was really so powerful, then why did the former Captain Rhine and the collector finally disappear.
It's been nearly twenty years since the events of the ghost ship, and it stands to reason that the monster must have grown to at least Marianne's level.
"Perhaps, its first two hosts were actually wiped out?"
"How is that possible?"
Gu Yun's face was full of disbelief, he had personally verified it just now, neither physical attack nor mental power was enough to destroy this monster, let alone be eliminated by an unknown small character, even the chief judge or the warden could not do it.
"It's also possible that you're using the wrong method."
"The answer should have to do with the 'second half of the night,' and what he feared was hidden after the second half of the night." β
"Could it be...... Sunlight? β
Vera guessed logically.
The first vampires they think of are those who are afraid of sunlight, and although sunlight is not fatal to pure-blood vampires, it can greatly weaken their power; Although werewolves are not affected by sunlight, many researchers have believed that the forces that cause their mutation are related to the moon.
Combined with the ghouls and shapeshifters, all of the anomalous creatures Vera knew of were nocturnal, so they were often referred to collectively as the Dark Ones.
"Can sunlight take away his regenerative ability, or can it kill him directly, so he doesn't dare to fight a protracted war?"
After Vera presented her full conjecture, there was a brief silence in the room.
After calming down, Gu Yun had to admit that Vera's speculation was reasonable, which could also explain why the other party turned around and ran away directly after he made an appointment to fight.
The seemingly invincible combination of immortality and power-grabbing is suddenly a little less interesting once the weakness of sunlight is added.
The strong sense of contrast made Gu Yun suddenly feel bored.
What he longs for is a strong enemy without any dead ends.
"Looks like we'll have to find a way to get it to eat a creature that's immune to sunlight first."
After thinking for a moment, Gu Yun suddenly thought of a solution.
"Why do you still put yourself in the enemy's shoes!"
Marianne was once again shocked by Gu Yun's train of thought - theoretically speaking, if that monster devoured some kind of creature that could be enhanced by sunlight, it might really be able to evolve into a perfect existence in the true sense.
"This monster is obviously trying to suck you dry!"
"His weakness is too obvious, and it wouldn't be interesting to kill him this time."
In a battle of life and death, it can't be because the sun is about to come out, they go back to their respective homes to sleep first, and wait for the sun to set and then fight again, right?
"Let's not mention that, I now know why your friends stole this mask, they know that they can't fight Dracula, so they plan to use the mask as a weapon, and the monster you encounter...... It should be one of the three, but for some reason, he put on a mask and turned into a monster. β
Those three people were from the same era as Gu Yun, and perhaps they had already carried out a more detailed and in-depth study of the stone ghost mask.
There were centuries between the two points in time, and God knows that there were several masked hosts later, and if even Gu Yun was in a bitter battle for a while, without any information, it was really possible for the monster that was released to eat Count Dracula.
It is commendable to be willing to become a monster himself and destroy Count Dracula.
"Let's assume that the monster is afraid of the sun, and I'll use a spell to seal it into the magic crystal tomorrow morning, and you'll try it tomorrow night."
"The other two may have fled, so don't wait too long here and catch them up as soon as possible - with the way they dress and behave, they will most likely be executed as witches by the locals, or attacked by the werewolf tribesβand after W City, you will enter the forested area, which is the home of the werewolf tribe." β
