Bab 67: 67. The Path to Destruction.

"Boom~"

After the red banner disappeared before his eyes, the witcher apprentice only heard a loud roar from above the water, as if the sky was falling. Following that, he saw the silt at the bottom of Drowner Lake being stirred up, instantly muddying the blue glow.

Countless undercurrents surged at the bottom of the lake, but the witcher apprentice felt nothing. It wasn't until moments later that the undercurrents reached the shallow layers of the lake, that he saw huge waves.

The witcher apprentice was like a lone boat on the sea, rolling with the waves, rising and falling. But the tremor had been greatly weakened after passing through the water. When the witcher apprentice was lifted to the surface by the undercurrent, he saw stones rolling down the cliff from the cave in the distance.

On the flat ground to the left of the cave, trees swayed wildly, and branches and leaves flew. The Cyclops, even closer, was also panicked and helpless due to the sudden tremor. Hugging his head with both hands, he curled up on the ground, shivering. The tremor gradually subsided after two or three minutes.

[Ding! Celestial Conjunction - Drowner completed!]

The witcher apprentice heard the prompt, moved his hands and feet, stabilized his body, and then stuck his head out of the water. He wanted to see what Celestial Conjunction looked like.

Would the exquisite door really appear?

"Huh?"

"Why is there nothing?"

Looking in the direction of the cave, Allen was somewhat incredulous.

Yes, the Old Speartip's home—the cave—was the place he chose for the Celestial Conjunction to occur. But there was not only no portal, there wasn't even the anticipated Drowner King.

"Wait!"

"There's something there!"

Allen squinted his eyes, focusing carefully. Several blue-skinned creatures were lying in front of the cave.

They seemed to be... drowners?

The witcher's face immediately darkened. Although summoning drowners after the Celestial Conjunction in the world of drowners was indeed normal.

But if that were the case, how could he hunt the Cyclops?

The Kaer Morhen defense battle could happen at any time; he needed to improve his strength as quickly as possible, and hunting large monsters was the fastest way. Although there were many large monsters in this world, none were as easy to find and suitable for a novice to hunt as the Old Speartip. Besides, Allen could only kill the Old Speartip during the mountain trial.

After passing the trial, if the witcher apprentice wanted to hunt the Cyclops again, he wouldn't find a suitable excuse. Just as the witcher apprentice was frowning in thought, there was change in the direction of the cave.

"Gwaa!"

A familiar roar suddenly sounded, and Allen's eyes lit up. Following the sound, a blue-skinned, muscular creature was slowly being squeezed out of a black vortex.

It was the Drowner King!

The vortex was almost identical to the one in the monster compendium, stuck at the Drowner King's waist, slowly "spitting" the creature out.

"Hmm~"

Looking at the portal that was almost embedded in the flesh, Allen instinctively touched his abdomen, sucking in a breath of cold air in empathy. So this is how the Celestial Conjunction summons monsters. No wonder the last Drowner King barely moved a step. It wasn't because the sorcerer didn't want to move; it was because he had a back injury and couldn't move.

"Roar!"

A furious roar suddenly came from Allen's left. The witcher instinctively ducked underwater, leaving only his nose above the water, and turned his head to follow the sound.

The Old Speartip had somehow already stood up from the ground. Seeing his home invaded, he vented his rage by smashing the oak tree in his hand into the ground.

Bang! Crack—

The thick trunk instantly broke under the immense force. After discarding the broken oak, the Old Speartip didn't rush over immediately. Instead, after looking around, he ran over to an unknown tree species several times thicker than the previous oak in just a few steps.

Grabbing the tree crown with both hands, he uprooted the entire tree. After skillfully stripping the branches, the Old Speartip nodded in satisfaction, seemingly pleased with the shape of the tree in his hands.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The ground rumbled, and the familiar tremors passed from the lake shore.

"That's right, that's how it should be. He's invading your home; go get him!"

Allen watched the massive figure excitedly, waving the thick tree as he charged towards the cave.

At this moment, The Drowner King had just been fully squeezed out of the portal. But the witcher apprentice wasn't worried that the Old Speartip would kill the Drowner King, who was still adapting to the Celestial Conjunction, with one swing. After all, from the incomplete identification attributes and the magical aura around him, Allen could sense that, the Drowner King was stronger than the Old Speartip. And not just a little stronger but much stronger.

"Splash~"

Allen slowly swam towards the place where Hughes and the others had previously hidden. The Old Speartip seemed to have completely forgotten about him, his bloodshot giant eye, larger than Allen's head, glaring at the blue creature hovering at his doorstep, seemingly only wanting to rush over and smash the Drowner King with a stick.

Closer, closer.

The distance between the two monsters was only twenty to thirty meters.

At this moment, the witcher apprentice also swam behind the cliff wall to the right of the cave, watching the imminent physical confrontation between the two massive monsters with excitement. Even more exciting was the prospect that both monsters might soon become his experience, attributes, items, and formulas.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The loud footsteps were like the sound of war drums. The Old Speartip, swinging the six-to-seven-meter-long tree trunk almost as tall as he was, approached the Drowner King and swung down forcefully.

"Whoosh!"

The sound of the giant tree cutting through the air was clear even from a distance.

Bang!

With a loud crash, the red fin on the Drowner King's head was instantly broken, along with the smooth blue scalp that rippled like the surface of the lake. Kneeling on one knee, the Drowner King, with a pained expression, was smashed awake instantly. His red eyes bulged as if they were about to pop out.

"Gwaa!"

Under the painful roar, a layer of blue light film appeared on the Drowner King's body.

The Old Speartip didn't care what changes were happening to the Drowner King, continuing his frenzied attack, "Bang! Bang! Bang!" repeatedly smashing down. The witcher apprentice saw that the blue light film on the Drowner King's body didn't last long, shattering instantly.

"Hmm~"

Allen sucked in a breath of cold air. He knew the Old Speartip's rage was truly overwhelming. It made sense. During his hibernation, his food suddenly vanished inexplicably. Finally, a little thing in clothes came to relieve his hunger, but it was more agile than a drowner. And now, his home was being invaded…

"Tsk, tsk~"

Even Allen, a witcher apprentice who made a living hunting monsters, felt a bit sorry for the Old Speartip. Of course, this thought only flashed through his mind. This Cyclops had long been on a path to destruction. Many witcher apprentices had died at the hands of the Cyclops; if it wasn't eliminated, more innocent children would die in the future.

With this thought, Allen focused on the raging Cyclops and the beaten but unyielding Drowner King, and activated his skill.

[Monster Hunt]!

Bab 68: 68. Wild Slaughter.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Splinters and slime, flesh and blood flew everywhere. Although the Drowner King was beaten to a pulp, it still occasionally roared and cast a protective shield, indicating that these injuries were merely superficial.

After using the Monster Hunt skill, Allen felt the disparity between the two monsters even more clearly. His spirit intruded into the auras of both creatures. Despite the Drowner King constantly getting beaten, the rate at which the chaotic magic around it diminished was slow.

"Indeed, my judgment was correct. This Drowner King is waiting for an opportunity."

Therefore, to drive the tiger to swallow the wolf, Allen realized he shouldn't help the Drowner King escape the Cyclops's onslaught but instead assist the Cyclops in further weakening the Drowner King.

Having made up his mind, Allen exited the Monster Hunt state and drank two potions of Drowner Heart Extract to restore his stamina. After his stamina exceeded 100, he realized that one potion only restored up to 100 stamina. Given his current 24 points of physique, he could recover 24 stamina per minute, fully replenishing in ten minutes. Since he had plenty of Drowner Heart Extract and it no longer boosted his attributes, he decided to use it as a stamina recovery potion.

"Gur-la... Gur-la-la... Gur-gur-la..."

Submerged in the water, mysterious incantations flowed from Allen's mouth. Perhaps due to the water element magic being abundant around him, the formation of the Ice Spear spell took only half the time, and the final ice spear doubled in diameter.

When the chanting stopped, Allen resurfaced. Supporting himself against the cliff wall with his left hand, his right arm's elbow rested on his left wrist, his right palm steadily aimed at the Drowner King taking the blows. Next, he activated Monster Hunt.

This was a new technique he had just thought of. Since Monster Hunt involved mentally intruding into the monster's force field and the Ice Spear spell required mental assistance for aiming, why not combine the two?

Indeed, upon using the Monster Hunt skill, Allen had an epiphany.

This shot would hit!

"Crack!"

Though the tree in the Cyclops's hand was thick, it was still just ordinary wood. After such high-intensity and frequent battering, its structure became increasingly loose, finally snapping with a forceful strike. At that moment, the Drowner King quickly stood up, pushing the Cyclops back. Luckily, this strike shattered the Drowner King's defensive light shield.

"Now!"

In the Monster Hunt state, Allen, unaffected by any emotions, seized the opportunity without hesitation.

"Whoosh!"

The blue ice spear sliced through the air, hitting the Drowner King's unprotected left eye almost instantly.

"Gu-ahhh!"

The Drowner King's chant for the water shield spell turned into a scream halfway, as it clutched its left eye, blood streaming through its fingers.

"Gu!!!"

Enraged by the ambush, it forgot to raise its shield, roaring as it turned to locate the attacker. Unfortunately, Allen had already hidden behind the cliff wall, diving underwater. The Drowner King's perception wasn't high. Even with some intelligence, it could only roughly determine the direction of the attack but couldn't find Allen's hiding spot. Moreover, it didn't have the energy to focus on the assailant now.

The Cyclops's fist was coming!

"Roar!"

The broken weapon and the sudden resistance from its opponent made the Cyclops furious. After being pushed away, it swung the broken tree at the Drowner King's head. Then, stepping forward, it delivered a powerful right punch to the Drowner King's left face, causing the bizarre frog-like skin to cave in, dislocating its jaw, and shattering its already injured left eye. The force caused the translucent gel from the eye to splatter out due to the sudden impact.

"Gu...la!"

In rage, the Drowner King finally remembered there was another enemy, instantly releasing a blue light shield. But it was too late!

"Roar!"

The Cyclops's punch awakened its ferocity, boosting its violent momentum. Before the Drowner King could rise, the Cyclops leaped, and in the Drowner King's horrified right eye, it stomped on its waist.

"Crack!"

"Gu-la!!!"

A tragic scream accompanied by the sound of breaking vertebrae signaled that the Drowner King's right eye no longer held any rational emotion. With blood-red eyes, it pounced on the Cyclops, biting off a chunk of muscle from its thigh.

"Roar!"

The Cyclops howled in pain but couldn't shake off the Drowner King's deadly grip.

"Whoa~"

Witnessing this primal and bloody scene, Allen couldn't help but feel a chill. He never imagined that his little "ice spear" could cause such a chain reaction. Initially, his best hope was that blinding the Drowner King in one eye would slightly reduce its advantage. But he never expected the Cyclops's primal instinct to seize the opportunity and break the Drowner King's spine. The Drowner King's limp legs indicated it would never stand again. Of course, this wasn't necessarily good for the Cyclops.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The battle between the two giant monsters entered a frenzied state, both creatures now bloodthirsty and savage. Ripping, tearing, biting—no holds barred. The Drowner King no longer used its shield; everything devolved into raw, primal combat. The two beasts seemed to merge into one, never separating for a moment. If not the Drowner King biting off a piece of the Cyclops, then the enraged Cyclops would break and twist the Drowner King's bones. Blood splattered, bodily fluids mingled. The cave entrance was a mess, littered with their torn flesh, with some crushed Drowners mixed in.

After drinking two more potions of Drowner Heart Extract to restore his stamina, Allen hid behind the cliff wall, closely monitoring the progress of the brutal fight. Suddenly, he detected a strong scent of blood nearby. Following the scent, he realized the small lake in front of the cave had turned red from the monsters' blood, and it had drifted around him. Such a volume of blood loss would affect even these massive creatures.

Sure enough, the sounds of their fierce battle gradually subsided. The two tangled, blood-soaked beasts rolled slower and slower. Allen knew the moment of harvest was near.
