From Witcher to Lord of the Empire

Everyone's brains buzzed at this moment, staring at the giant oak stick in the ice giant's hand, unable to believe their eyes.

Although Yuna had heard that the ice giant's weapon was a long oak stick, they only thought that the thousand-year-old giant tree in the mountains had been pulled out, but they didn't expect it to be like this...

"Druid's magic." Ged muttered to himself, "Ice giants can cast spells, but the only thing recorded in the book is the ability to command other monsters and the power to set off a blizzard. But the druid's magic, This is too…”

With a sound of "woo", a mass of something smashed towards Gerd with the sound of breaking the wind. The bear demon hunter reflexively wanted to avoid it, but after seeing the real face of the thing clearly out of the corner of his eye, he hurriedly picked it up. Next—that's a brand new alchemy backpack.

Generally, three to four different low-cost bombs and potions are placed on the backpack belt of a demon hunter to deal with emergencies. And the backpack that Lann threw over at this moment has only one alchemy creation on it - [Diamogold Bomb].

Lann flipped his left hand again and again, distributing sharp weapons to his companions who might come into close combat with the ice giant.

Cohen looked at the neat bombs on the backpack, and took a deep breath: "I never thought that I would use the magic gold against the giant..."

This was not enough, Lan En looked intently at the wound he had cut on the opponent's wrist just now when he fought the ice giant in the cave. There are almost no scratches on it now.

"Kolgrim, the ice giant also has the ability to heal itself at high speed, and has a fast metabolism. Will it weaken the poison?"

The Snake Demon Hunter twitched when he heard this: "The reasoning should be correct, but I don't know how much dose I need to use for such a big body, and my attack can't break the defense at all... Forget it, I'll think of a way."

He stared at the snake pupil and looked around twice, and suddenly saw Milwa who was holding a bow and arrow, ready to go.

"Wait!" Kolgrim ran over, skillfully took out a vial from his alchemy backpack, and poured all of it on Milva's arrowhead, "Use this!"

Seeing this, Lan nodded, turned his left hand over for the last time, took out [Ogre Demon Sword Oil] from the [Item Bar], and attached a halo of halo to the gleaming golden rune sword. At the same time, the black magic sword behind him floated out automatically, and disappeared in a burst of bright emerald flames.

"Attention everyone!" Geralt stood at the front of the line, his white hair flying in the gust of wind, staring at the approaching monster, "It's coming!"

...

A blizzard is coming.

"Let the arrow!"

The shrill horns echoed in the mountains. If the snow in the mountains hadn't become several layers thinner for some unknown reason, it might have triggered an avalanche.

Hundreds of arrows pressed down on the ice giant overwhelmingly, and the density even surpassed the snowflakes flying in the air for a short time. It's a pity that the blizzard surrounding the ice giant formed a natural barrier, and all the approaching arrows were involuntarily deflected.

"Call", "Call"

The ice giant blocked his eyes with his left hand, and the arrow deflected by the gust of wind lightly knocked on the blue skin like a weak stone, unable to penetrate at all.

Except the one Milva shot.

"Pfft."

"God!" The ice giant became furious. It has been uninjured for many years, but it almost saw blood twice in just a quarter of an hour.

An arrow with an extra-long shaft was lightly inlaid in its palm, bringing a slight tingling sensation. It can be seen that the ice giant shook his hand violently as if being electrocuted, and then the arrow fell off automatically and flew to nowhere.

It's just that the skin is broken, and the wound caused is not even enough for the arrow to be embedded in it.

Milva put the second arrow on himself, and asked Colgrim without squinting: "Is your poison useful for wounds of this magnitude?"

Colgrim pulled out his Serpenti silver sword, threw his specially made poison bag to Milwa, and went into battle lightly: "Can you make the arrow go deeper? I heard Lane say that you can make the arrow go deeper. Arrows hit the same spot."

Milva carefully aimed for a while, then shook his head: "The wind is too strong."

With the blizzard brought by the ice giant, all the arrows fired will be greatly reduced in power and will be deflected. A shooter of Milva's level is no exception.

Fortunately, there are others on the scene who can fight against the blizzard.

...

A real thunderbolt suddenly appeared in Yennefer's hands.

With a "click", the lightning crossed the battlefield in an instant, and hit the ice giant's shoulder hard, causing the giant to make a painful sound. At the same time, the fur vest on the giant's shoulders was also ignited, and the flames burned the giant beast growing in the ice and snow, causing it to let out an astonishing scream.

And Ye Naifa seems to be addicted, the second, third, and fourth. Lightning strikes on the ice giant's body continuously, with great momentum.

However, if someone with rich experience sees this, they can only comment on it as "huge momentum".

Although the giant screamed in pain at this moment, it can be seen that the damage caused by the lightning to him is still extremely limited. After all, this is just an elemental attack simulated by magic, not a real natural disaster.

Ye Naifa obviously knew this too, and her spells to attack ordinary Cyclops might be weak. All she needs is the additional paralysis effect of the lightning to delay the ice giant's footsteps.

But after a while, the ice giant got used to the pain caused by the lightning, grabbed a stone bigger than Yennefer himself and threw it over. The sorceress nimbly opened a portal in mid-air, and the boulder didn't know where to go.

After doing all this, Ye Naifa took a few breaths, her already fair face became even paler, and she couldn't stop taking a few steps back from the formation of soldiers.

Just as the ice giant's attention was all absorbed by Ye Naifa, another caster present was finally ready.

Feitov stood up, and the oak stick inserted into the ground suddenly jumped up a bit, and a force communicated from its top to the sky.

In the next second, everyone felt the cold wind suddenly stopped, and even the snowflakes in the air stopped flying, and just fell vertically from the sky. The thick dark clouds that day seemed to be dissipated by the sun, and the mountains that had been shrouded in snow all year round finally had sunshine.

The sky is clear.

The ice giant couldn't help but put its palm in front of its eyes, and it was dazzled by the light from the sky that was deep in the cave.

In the next second, another golden light flashed between its face and the palm that blocked the sun.

Lan appeared in mid-air. With one wave of his hand, an alchemy backpack hit the ice giant in the face.

"Dangdangdang" a large number of pull rings were thrown from Lann's hands, and they fell on the ice giant's body with a crisp crashing sound.

Having accomplished his goal, Lan no longer wanted to fight, and decisively returned to the queue in a blink of an eye. Meanwhile, more than a dozen anti-magic gold bombs on the ice giant's face exploded together, and the thick metal fragments instantly turned into dark green smoke to wrap its upper body, and traces of static electricity were conducted in the smoke, embellished with faint blue.

"Ahem, god... cough cough, god!"

A large amount of metal debris entered its body through the ice giant's organs, esophagus, and mucous membranes, and adhered to its body. With the giant's metabolic rate, it might be enough to excrete them all in one day, but the battle between Ran and the others definitely won't take a day.

The wind in the mountains subsided completely. In the next second, the storm set off by the arrows swept over again, this time they would not be deflected again.

The scalp-numbing sound of strings breaking and air breaking continued to resound in the valley, until the archipelago soldiers stretched their hands back and the quiver was empty, until their bow-drawing right hands trembled slightly.

Their arrows might not do much damage, but at the moment it was the best attack they could use. In the next second, I saw them pull out their melee weapons, ready to start a close fight with a giant beast ten times taller than themselves.

But all soldiers know that with their attack power, the greatest result they can create in battle may be nothing more than letting the opponent wave their hands, delaying a little time for the comrades who can really cause damage.

"Please step back a little bit and wait for the opportunity." The soldier standing beside Lan nervously adjusted his hand holding the hatchet, "If anyone among us can kill this monster, it can only be You."

Lan En chuckled and shook his head: "No, you should stand back a little bit. It is your task to protect the king and the spellcaster."

Geralt, Colgrim, Cohen, and Gerd were already standing beside him, and Bill turned into a giant brown bear two people tall with a loud roar; , snorted disdainfully.

...

Use the magic gold to disable the magic ability of the enemy, so that others can be used as harassment. But if he wanted to defeat the ice giant with one blow, Lann thought about it and only had his fully charged [Rage Explosion], the sword skill that could ignore the enemy's defense—that is, the New Year's greeting swordsmanship.

But this has brought up a new question: where is the time to recharge Lan En's New Year's greeting swordsmanship unscrupulously?

Answer: The Ice Giant needs to lose the ability to move, and even attack, which means that the Ice Giant must be injured to a certain extent.

Ask again: But how to make the ice giant lose the ability to move and attack, and cause damage to it?

Answer: Use Lan En's New Year's greetings swordsmanship!

To use the New Year's greeting sword technique, you must first make the ice giant lose its mobility, but the only thing that can make the ice giant lose its mobility is the New Year's greeting sword technique. This is stuck in a vicious circle.

Can anyone else do anything? It seems not.

Facing the ice giant, the attacks of other demon hunters are just as harassment, attracting attention and creating opportunities for Lan; the same is true for the spells of Yennefer and Feitov, even in the face of such an enemy with extremely thick blood. Sometimes the caster's performance is even weaker, because their mana is not as continuous as the demon hunter's physical strength.

After the trial just now, it has been proved that: archery is useless, attack spells are useless, New Year's greeting swordsmanship has no preconditions to cast, and the poison of the Snake School is also limited.

It seems that Lan can only rely on himself. Facing such an extraordinary creature like the ice giant, only an extraordinary existence like the system can control the enemy.

Is there any other way? Even if the damage is not as good as the New Year's greetings swordsmanship, at least it can continuously inflict damage on the ice giant without having to store power—at least for too long.

Just now, Ye Naifa struck the ice giant with lightning and ignited the opponent's fur vest, which suddenly gave Lan En inspiration.

He looked at his system panel, and there were two skill points. Then he clicked on the skill page with his consciousness, and turned to the [Dharma Seal] category.

It's been a long time since Lann activated his skills.

After going through the adventure of the wolf faction's ring of elements, all the third-level skills of the French seal category have been lit up, and he has actually met the conditions for unlocking the fourth-level spell skills. It's just that Lan has always believed that his French seal system is enough to deal with the current battle, and he began to want to store skill points for the second mutation skill.

But at this moment, Lan suddenly discovered that a level 4 skill of [Igni Sign] could solve his distress at the moment.

[Pyromaniac]: Increase the chance of the Sign of Igni inflicting a burning state on the enemy by 20%. (1/5)

...

"Burning" is a very powerful debuff in the game, which can continuously reduce the health of the enemy. It is an indispensable tactical choice for players when they leapfrog to fight BOSS in the early stage.

It's a pity that for Lan En, this effect has always been a bit tasteless: first of all, Lan En is no longer in the early stage. Instead of lighting the enemy and waiting for the enemy to burn him to death, it is more convenient to hack him to death;

Secondly, the judgment of the "burning probability" in reality is very interesting. As long as sparks fall on combustibles, the chance of burning is 100% under sufficient conditions. It is impossible to say that it is a straw that can be ignited with a torch. When Lann uses the Igni method to breathe fire, he has to judge the probability of ignition.

The flames are blowing like a breeze, so could this straw also be [immovable as a mountain]?

But Lane also knew that this skill was not as useless as the system's words stated, and the value of this skill should be interpreted in another way: the chance of applying a burning state to incombustible objects increased.

Because in the game, the player's [Igni Sign] can ignite gargoyles and golems carved from pure stone with the blessing of skills.

Probability ignites all matter equally. Only in this way can this skill be able to reflect its origin as the final skill of the [Igni Sign] series.

So at this moment, this skill is especially suitable for the ice giant. Facing this huge monster that was hard to hurt with a sword, Lann just needed a debuff to continuously and slowly deplete the opponent's blood. Only on such a powerful enemy can the [Pyromaniac] skill show its value.

Then - add points, [Sign of Sign] major category, [Sign of Igni] small category, level 4 skill - [Pyromaniac]!

[Pyromaniac]: Increase the chance of the Sign of Igni inflicting a burning state on the enemy by 40%. (2/5)

Under the effect of the talent [Magic Tide], [Pyromaniac] went directly to the second level, increasing the chance of the enemy being ignited to almost 50% 40%!

After adding skill points, Lann still has one last skill point.

...

At this moment, the ice giant was already within twenty steps away from everyone, and they could already smell the stench accumulated on their bodies after living in the mountains for a long time.

"Let's go!"

Four pairs of amber vertical pupils and a pair of dark golden lion pupils lit up in the mountains together.

A huge oak pillar thicker than a person hit him head-on, and the huge wind pressure blew Lann's great griffin cloak violently.

All the demon hunters and the attendants in charge of close combat deftly fled in all directions, keeping a distance from the enemy; only Lann skillfully rolled on the ground, like a phantom, piercing through this huge pillar that could break mountains and crack rocks, without retreating Counterattacked and appeared at the feet of the ice giant.

Raise your left palm—[Igni Fayin · Pyromaniac]!

The cone-shaped flames immediately covered the feet of the ice giant, turning this monster in the wind and snow into another image of an evil beast with feet on flames in poetry—if you ignore its screams at this moment.

Tomorrow, finish the ice giant
