"Such a strong monster was actually solved in the blink of an eye...... It can't be my delusion, right?"

Dikmas stretched his neck with palpitations, looked down the mountain, looked at the 'fire dragon' that was dying in the sea of trees and gradually extinguished, his expression was slightly dull, and he said in a tone of uncertainty that he didn't dare to do.

"To deal with such a behemoth, it is really only possible to destroy it from the inside. ”

Beirut took off his armor, revealing a handsome sunny face, and from his point of view, with the monster's corpse as the center, all the surrounding trees were burned, the ground turned black, and the dreadbeast seemed to lie in the center of a black sun totem.

"But none of us can implement a similar tactic except for the Lord. ”

Lopez's feet off the ground and he floated in the air, his pitch-black figure like a shadow. He lowered his head, hiding his face under his hood as usual, making his voice sound a little muffled:

"In other words, this type of dreadbeast is like a natural enemy for us. ”

“......”

Tessa turned her gaze at him, narrowed her eyes like a feline sensing a threat, and asked keenly, "You want to tell us that it's the 'hunter' who appeared specifically against our witchers?"

"Everything that seems unusual has a pattern. If it were to target an ordinary human, it wouldn't need to grow that big, let alone the destructive power of destroying mountains with one blow......"

Lopez raised his head, turned his back to her and chwed his head gently, his tone revealing a hint of worry: "Obviously, this dreadbeast is targeting us, and if there is the first one, there will definitely be a second one." ”

"If that's the case...... It's undoubtedly the end of the world. Beirut sighed and shook his head.

"Something seems wrong!"

Dikmas suddenly let out an exclamation, pointing to the remains of the dreadbeast in the scorched black earth below the mountain, and shouted in a loud voice:

"Look, the corpse is still moving!"

Everyone was immediately attracted by his words, and they all looked at each other, and immediately showed a look of vigilance.

Boom – Boom——!

I saw countless arcs of lightning spreading from the dreadbeast's spine, and these dark blue bright lines were like crazy long Teng Mang, weaving a net, dyeing the huge bones of the monster into a blue color. In the process, the frozen corpse of the 'fire dragon' curled up and shrank inward, and layers of dark blue ripples rippled in the surrounding air, as if it was a giant silkworm spinning a cocoon, and quickly formed a chrysalis surrounded by electric light.

In the next moment, from the charred trees beside them to the mountains surrounded by dark clouds, all the remnants of the nightmare aura were summoned in an instant, and they converged into invisible shadows, and then surged towards the 'electric chrysalis' to form a shadow-like vortex.

The atmosphere on the hillside instantly became delicate, and the captains' bodies tensed, and there was a faint light in their eyes.

......

Woohoo – Whoop——!

Inside the light cocoon, Ivan looked at his palm, standing inside the skull of the dreadbeast, and the arcs of electricity splashed all over his body, appearing and disappearing as the light flickered. A cold, hard metallic sheen appeared on his skin, and the nightmare aura flowed inward along the clear lines of the metal pit lines, pouring into the whirling flame nucleus on his chest.

"Hiss......"

He breathed deeply, and the electricity in his whole body suddenly shook with this movement, and the light in his pupils became brighter and brighter, like two stars piercing the darkness.

Powerful energy flows through the neural network throughout the body, passing through all internal organs along the way, as if it is an infinite number of invisible tools, precisely adjusting the body's various functions. From the skin to the muscles, from the bones to the internal organs, from the blood vessels to the nerves, they are all undergoing a kind of tempering at the cellular level - strength, toughness, adaptability, immunity, recovery and regeneration, and various indicators of body functions, in the process of showing a high degree of optimization.

Ka – Ka Ka ——!

In a series of crisp sounds, Evan's skin gradually lost its metallic luster, turning into a ceramic, brittle texture, and quickly filled with cobweb-like cracks, large wrinkles and peeling off—revealing new, stronger skin within.

As the surface of his old body quickly peeled off, his musculoskeletal growth thickened, emitting a roar of steel calcination, and his two-meter-tall stature increased by another twenty centimeters.

"I didn't expect that after hunting this dreadbeast, the Holy Book of the Underworld hadn't yet entered the third stage...... Is this just the power of the second stage of the pinnacle!?"

Ivan slowly clenched his fists, estimating the strength he had just gained, and felt an indescribable sense of fullness - his strength had increased by about thirty percent, his defense had increased by fifty percent, and his combat ability was twice as strong as before.

If the comprehensive performance of the rudimentary body in the first stage of the Hades Holy Canon is converted into one, then his value was almost seven before, but now it has increased to about fifteen.

This value is also the limit of the second stage of growth, and if you can't break through, you won't be able to increase it for a lifetime.

The strong men in the Menes royal family, who have exhausted their whole lives, are mostly stuck at this strength, and it is difficult to break through.

If you can go one step further and enter the third stage of growth, then the Hades Sanctuary (Sun Sutra) will exert its true power and produce a qualitative change that is close to that of a 'serpentine dragon'.

......

When the last trace of electricity was sucked dry, the remains of the dreadbeast disappeared with it.

At the same time, all the remnants of the nightmare aura disappeared - between the heaven and the earth surrounded by mountains, in people's vision, in the surrounding air, the cold and strange feeling has weakened a lot, and the light intensity seems to have increased by a few percentages.

The massive body bloomed with brilliant light in an instant, and finally swirled inward, condensing and quickly evaporating, leaving behind a silhouette woven by electricity.

"The Dreadbeast is gone!"

"That figure...... Not an enemy!"

"It's the Inquisitor!"

Seeing this scene, the witchers breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the figure down the mountain, and looked back at the black clouds on the other side of the mountain, revealing a hesitant expression.

"Killing this guy doesn't seem to work...... It's still an enclosed space. ”

Ivan closed his eyes, gathered the electricity around him, and looked around him, seeing that the clouds had not dispersed.

At this time, the normal time seemed to be evening, and the round and pale moon hung high overhead, sprinkling a cold and cold white light over the land, and the dead silence of the scorched ground was soaked in the moonlight like water. ”

He thought for a moment, and shouted at the witcher who was hesitant to stay halfway up the mountain:

"Our mission is to rescue the priest, now that the mission is completed, go back to the town first and then make plans! Time is on our side, we can't be greedy for merit, try to avoid unnecessary sacrifices!"

After hearing Ivan's voice, the captains nodded, gave up the idea of breaking into the dark clouds to find out, and followed him back to the town with the priests.
