Kapitel 65: 65. The Charge of the Cyclops.
Boom~ Boom~ Boom~
The rumbling from the dim cave grew closer, and the ground tremors became more pronounced.
Except for Allen, the other apprentices were trembling slightly, affected by the intimidating presence of the large monster. This was the natural awe-inspiring effect of a massive magical creature. Even though they hadn't seen Old Speartip yet, the chaotic magical aura surrounding the Cyclops had already begun to disrupt the newly-formed senses of the apprentices as Witchers.
"All... Allen... what should we do now?" Bond's teeth chattered as he immediately turned to Allen. Seeing that he was the only one among them without any signs of anxiety, they couldn't help but feel a bit more trust and reliance on him.
Allen's expression was serious. While gesturing for the apprentices to get into the water, he quickly instructed: "Quick! Drink the Killer Whale potion and hide in the water..."
Immediately after, he swiftly scanned the surroundings. The cave was shaped like a "W," nestled deep within the sturdy mountain rocks. The left side had a small grassy bank before the cliff, while the right side plunged directly into the water.
"Quick! Once you're behind the cliff on the right, dive and stay still. Then find an opportunity to enter the cave and complete the trial."
Upon hearing this, Bond and the others' eyes lit up.
Yes!
Each of them had been equipped by Allen with new potions, allowing them to hide in the water and wait for an opportunity.
Last night, Allen had prepared six bottles of killer whale potion for each of them. After using four bottles earlier, they still had two left. This should be enough time for them to find their chance.
"Allen, aren't you coming with us?" Fred and Bond asked excitedly as they swam towards the cliff.
Hughes noticed that Allen didn't follow but instead turned as if he was going in the opposite direction, so he quickly asked.
"Boom~ Boom~ Boom~"
The heavy footsteps grew closer. Even the surface of the water began to ripple.
Allen didn't have time to explain to Hughes and the others. He commanded quickly: "Don't worry about me, just hide and find a way into the cave!"
Without waiting for Hughes' reaction, he swiftly swam towards the left bank.
Would the Cyclops , creatures that preyed on fish and other animals in the lake, really not be able to find them if they were lurking underwater?
Allen wasn't that naive.
As for leaving outright, that was even more impossible. The Mountain Trial was a one-way journey. Besides, Old Speartip emerging from the cave on its own accord was the best scenario Allen had anticipated. Without the Cat's Eye potion, encountering a hungry Cyclops in a lightless cave would be a true nightmare. The entrance to Killer Lake was narrow, and soon Allen walked from the water to the shore.
"Step~ Step~ Step~"
He quickly walked behind the large rock he had chosen.
Allen looked back at the right cliff where the three apprentices were already in position, their heads only visible above the water, looking towards him. He gestured downward, and after hesitating for a few seconds, their heads disappeared underwater.
"Boom~ Boom~ Boom~"
Even though they were now more than a hundred meters away from the cave, the sensitive senses of the Witcher apprentices still felt the ground shaking.
"This isn't normal!" Allen thought.
Even if the weight was heavy, the vibrations should have been attenuated. Yet the ground tremors seemed only slightly weaker than at the entrance of the cave.
"Old Speartip is probably a creature favored by elemental magic."
The Witcher apprentices heightened their vigilance. The magic circulated within their bodies.
Igni sign.
The steaming heat quickly dried their clothes to prevent their soaked garments from hindering their movements.
"Boom~ Boom~ Boom~"
The tremors grew more pronounced.
A few seconds later, a colossal figure, nearly naked except for a gray animal hide around its waist, bent over and emerged from the dim cave.
"Swish!"
A flash of blue light passed in an instant. The Cyclops had just straightened up when its ear was instantly pierced.
"Roar!"
Old Speartip hesitated for a moment before roaring loudly. One hand covered its ear, its single eye scanning wildly around. The Witcher apprentices could tell from the bloodshot and cloudy eye that their speculation was correct. Old Speartip had definitely been starving for several days.
"Damn, I'm still too far!"
Allen's target was actually the Cyclops' single eye. Of course, this was the ideal scenario. Without the Ice Spear magic's inherent ability to guide the spirit, the Witcher apprentices estimated that they wouldn't even be able to touch its ear. But seeing the Cyclops' raging fury, at least the role of drawing its attention had been fulfilled.
"Gua la~ Gua la la~ Gua gua la..."
Moments later, the blue ice spear appeared again in Allen's right palm. Each casting of Ice Spear required a minimum of 50 magic points, and with the Witcher apprentices' total magic of 230 points, they could cast it four times.
"Swish!"
The ice spear shot directly at the Cyclops' forehead, only a palm's width away from its single eye. Unfortunately, while the ice spear could pierce flesh, it clearly couldn't penetrate Old Speartip's bones.
"Roar!"
The Cyclops roared furiously again. But this time, it had found its target. Its single eye, the size of a human head, locked onto the annoying little figure not far away.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
It swung its sturdy arms, taking three steps and uprooting an oak tree that happened to be passing by. Continuing its stride, it held the large tree horizontally in its left hand and with a mighty effort, snapped all its branches.
"Click~"
All the branches of the oak tree broke instantly and fell to the ground, crushed under Old Speartip's foot the next moment. The chaotic magical aura, which had been favorable to the Cyclops, quickly swept towards Allen as it confirmed its target. He felt his body suddenly sink, as if it had become several times heavier in an instant.
The Cyclops' enlarged eye was rapidly approaching. In a trance, it seemed as if the entire Blue Mountain was charging towards him.
Unmatched! Unstoppable!
