The ice giant screamed because of the Igni Sign.
But before Lan could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the ice giant suddenly jump twice. The heavy body caused rocks to collapse and crack in the mountains, followed by a "crackling" sound, and then he saw the ice giant's leggings made of wood and bone pieces fall off his body and fall heavily to the ground.
The hemp rope on the leggings had been burned off, and when it fell off, only charred smoke marks were left on the ice giant's body.
Lann let out an unhappy "tsk". Only the flammable leggings of the opponent were ignited, not the body. The 40% chance still needed more attempts.
"Use that strange knife technique to chop it!" Cohen saw Lan's action not far away and shouted, "Leave the task of harassing it with the seal to us, you prepare for the decisive blow!"
Lann rolled over to avoid the ice giant's angry attack, and took the opportunity to blast the opponent's calf with a torrent of fire, which had no other effect except to blacken the ice-blue calf.
"My [Igni] can ignite the body of the ice giant, but there is a chance. I'm looking for an opportunity!" Lan took the time to shout to Coen.
The demon hunter from the Griffin School was stunned for a moment, and was almost hit by the ice giant's attack. He looked at the giant's body that was emitting cold air, and he couldn't imagine that body burning like a torch.
"Can your seal do this?" Cohen muttered to himself, then turned and responded loudly to Lann, "Then we will create an opportunity for you!"
Cohen was not as agile as Lann. He dodged the ice giant's attack and went around the opponent's knee. He pinched the [Alder Seal] with his left hand, and the wind pressure gathered in his palm. It couldn't stir up a storm, but it was more condensed.
With a loud "bang", the air cannon exploded in the mountains. The impact was powerful enough to blow open the city gate and smash a wooden house. Even a body like the Ice Giant could not help but weaken his knees and almost fell to the ground.
The furious giant turned around and swung his giant palm to smack the little guy who attacked him. But what he saw was a palm emitting a bright white light.
[Axil Seal]
Cohen mobilized all his magic power, but the result was unbelievable to him. The ice giant's body was not blocked at all, not even a moment of trance, as if there was really only a little man performing a boring trick in front of him.
The huge palm that came over was still powerful, and the wind pressure pushed the air away, making it almost impossible for Cohen to open his eyes.
With a "boom", a gust of black wind blew past, knocking Cohen far away. The agile warhorse glared at Cohen with its amber pupils in a very human way, and disappeared again like lightning.
Cohen rolled twice on the ground to absorb the impact, and the golden protective seal on his body was broken on the spot. But this result was much better than taking a blow from the ice giant.
"Be careful." Gede appeared behind Cohen and pulled up his companion from the Griffin School. "This monster can use druid magic. I guess its mental resistance is the same as those of spellcasters... No, it's even a combination of spellcasters and monsters. Our [Axis] will have no effect on it."
Cohen patted his chest with his left hand and added another layer of [Quenn Seal] to himself: "Then I can only fight hard with my life."
Gede shook his head: "You are still lucky. That [Alder] is really good. My magic sign has no effect on him at all. The silver sword and the steel sword are all bent, and they are just scratched. They can't even attract its attention. By the way, can you teach me how to use [Alder] afterwards?"
Cohen was stunned.
…
With a loud bang, the ice giant's fist slammed into the ground like a landslide. The griffin and bear-faction demon hunters quickly jumped away to avoid the enemy's attack and continued to fight.
A bright emerald flame suddenly condensed at the back of the ice giant's head. Alice's long skirt fluttered in the wind, and she slashed at the giant's neck with the black magic scimitar in her hand. However, no matter how strong the soul in the painting was, it could not break the giant's defense at this time. Instead, because of the unfamiliar holding posture of the knife, the weapon slipped out of her hand and flew out in a spin.
Alice sighed quietly, and a giant palm swung towards her like slapping a mosquito. The next second, she turned into a bright emerald flame and became a phantom, dodging the ice giant's attack.
However, she did not take advantage of the situation to leave. Instead, she attacked the ice giant's body in the form of fire, penetrating into the opponent's eyes, ears, and even the pores of his skin.
[Possession] is a skill that all demons and spirits have, and Alice is no exception.
The body of the Ice Giant suddenly paused, as if there was another consciousness inside it pulling its limbs. The Ice Giant's willpower and body were too strong, and Alice alone could not completely control the mountain-like body, but she could still slow down its movements.
Lann's eyes lit up: Opportunity!
Multiple flames burst out from his left palm again.
…
Yennefer and the druids' magical attacks never stopped. With the witchers attracting the attention of the ice giants and the protection of the island soldiers, they could attack with reckless abandon.
But they all knew that although their attacks could hurt the ice giant, they could not inflict the final blow.
The female night demon Nanomi, who was watching the battle, sighed.
There was no soldier around her, and her amazing charm was repelled by the human soldiers. It was not that the Tuersek family soldiers were unromantic, but the islanders knew that it was time to fight, and they clearly understood that they could not stay with the female demon - otherwise they would not pay any attention to the ice giant.
This team is indeed an elite one.
The female night demon Nanomi sighed again. She followed the son of the ancient bloodline for survival, but she didn't expect that after choosing a camp, she would be forcibly summoned to fight.
Having lived in Skellige for so long, she naturally knew the great reputation of the Ice Giants. If she had a choice, she absolutely did not want to fight against such an enemy.
Nanomi wanted to turn around and run. But for some reason, she couldn't take her eyes off Lann as he dodged the ice giant's attack. She felt that if the blond knight died under the ice giant's attack, she didn't want to survive in this world anymore. You know, Nanomi came to this world when the celestial spheres met. No one can compare to her in terms of will to survive!
"Just draw attention, right? Create an opportunity for the decisive blow?"
The female Night Devil Nanomi sighed for the third time. Then, violent chaotic energy surged through her body.
The uncovered upper body was covered with a layer of hazy black mist, but this black mist seemed to emit a strange light, adding another layer of filter to this alluring body that people dared not look directly at.
Just like adding a flame to the spices, the smell called "charm" turned from abstract to real, quickly drifting away and eroding every wisp of air around it.
【Big~One~】
A soft, itchy and slightly hoarse voice rang in the ears of every creature present.
The ice giant has a strong mental resistance and is immune to hypnotic magic. However, the female night demon is not using any means to distort people's minds. She is just taking advantage of the situation to stimulate her own racial characteristics and at the same time stirring up the most primitive desires of other creatures.
This is a unification of the aesthetics and instincts of all living things.
Not only the Frost Giants, but also the Skellige soldiers, the Cintra servants of both sexes, and even the Black Wind, all the creatures on the field stopped attacking at this moment, their eyes were firmly fixed on the female Night Demon.
Even including Alice who has been possessed by the ice giant.
The female night demon nodded with satisfaction, and was about to remove the spell effect on Lann alone, but she found that the heir of the ancient bloodline quickly glanced around to assess the situation, and then continued to attack the ice giant with fire as if he was not affected at all.
The female night demon widened her eyes in disbelief: What's wrong with this person?
…
"Boom!" "Boom!"
The ice giant strode towards the female night demon, ignoring Lann's little movements around him. This level of burning sensation seemed to be unable to attract his attention at all.
However, the next second, it will regret its actions.
The flame's test finally reached a point, and it finally found what it had been looking for. Suddenly, something in that cold body accepted the heat and began to burn.
In Lan's vision, the ice giant's legs didn't seem to be ignited by him, but the flames spontaneously emerged from the inside out. He couldn't tell what the flames were attached to, blood? Flesh? Skin? Energy? Or other more biological terms?
It was a rootless fire, but the heat it emitted and the damage it brought were not to be false at all.
"god!"
The roar of the ice giant almost caused another avalanche in the mountains, and the severe pain finally overwhelmed the attraction of the female demon. The other demon hunters felt as if someone blew a horn against their ears, and they felt dizzy and finally regained consciousness from the female demon's temptation.
The female Night Demon quickly dispersed her magic, took a big step back and looked at the Tursek soldiers who were unconsciously walking towards her. She shouted loudly in their eyes as if they had just woken up from a dream:
"Don't come over here anymore! Go and help Lei Anlun kill the ice giant!"
…
The flames climbed up from the calves, and soon ignited the thighs, lower abdomen, chest, head, and the fur decorations on the ice giant's body, turning it into a real big torch in an instant.
In just a few seconds, the ice giant suffered more damage than everyone had suffered in the entire day of fighting.
The ice giant's attack force at this time was much stronger than before. The pain brought madness, and everything within the ice giant's attack range, even rocks, was smashed into pieces by it.
The demon hunters had almost no time to dodge, but fortunately, Lann saw that the situation was not good and flashed with golden light and moved away from the battlefield, and then used the [Teleport] skill to take them away from the ice giant.
Although the skin of the ice giant is as hard as a rock, it is not made of real stone after all, but real flesh and blood. Although the speed is very slow, under the scorching flames, the skin quickly becomes charred, brittle, and tattered, revealing the equally charred flesh underneath.
Milva's eyes lit up, and she put the arrows that had been soaked in poison on the longbow. After three "whoosh", "whoosh", and "whoosh" sounds, three long arrows were seen nailed to the same place. The ice giant, whose defense was greatly reduced, was finally broken by the female archer, and she found an opportunity to take advantage of.
The snake's venom continued to enter the giant's body, and the giant metabolized it quickly and spread it all over his body. Milva's arrows kept shooting, and the sound of them breaking through the air continued to be heard.
It was visible to the naked eye that a layer of purple poison suddenly appeared on the ice giant's skin, which had not yet been covered with charred skin.
The flames on the ice giant burned more and more vigorously, and finally reached a peak at a certain moment, as if all combustible things had been burned out, turning into flames and sparks, and then finally extinguished.
The giant screamed, but his energy was not as strong as before. He strode through the mountains, but his movements were staggering and slow, like an old man in his twilight years. People even worried that he would fall.
The most important thing is that it now has its back to everyone and is ready to escape.
Yennefer and Fetov began to chant spells, and the plant seeds between the frozen rocks suddenly came to life and turned into vines; the mountain wind seemed to suddenly become conscious and turned into giant hands to block the advance of the ice giant; even the mountain road under the giant's feet began to sink irregularly in an instant, turning into a trap and hindering its progress.
Normally, the ice giant could break free of these restraints within a breath, and could jump out of the trap by bending his knees slightly. But at this moment, it could only wail and struggle feebly.
“God…God!”
It still has life.
Lann looked at the ice giant in the trap and said in his heart.
[Not enough, it needs to bear more damage. ]
A sword suddenly appeared in front of Lann. It was so plain without any patterns on it, and even the carved runes were almost covered by the bronze blade.
It is the "Blade of Tyr" forged by the Todaloch family.
"Use it, Lann." Easter handed the sword to Lann. "I know you have the Sword of the Lady of the Lake. That sword does have magical power. But this sword, which embodies the hard work of all the craftsmen and top druids in the archipelago, is specially used to deal with ice giants."
Lan nodded and took it, and together with his fellow witchers surrounded the ice giant.
He raised his hands above his head and began to gather strength recklessly.
One breath, five breaths, ten breaths, twenty breaths.
The magic of the sorceress and druid continued, constantly imprisoning the body of the ice giant; the demon hunters skillfully used various seals to suppress the occasional resistance of the ice giant and prevent these attacks from interfering with Lann.
The runes on Tyr's Blade lit up, but not as bright as Lann's Sword of the Lady of the Lake. It was a deeper light. Physical strength, adrenaline, and magic gathered together as energy on this sword, just waiting for the final slash.
Finally, at a certain moment, Lann felt that he was about to lose control of the sword in his hand. It was as if a force gently pushed him from behind, and the Tyr's Blade in his hand was swung out naturally with the swing of his arm.
The wind in the mountains was torn apart violently. Everyone was concentrating on waiting for the sword, but at this moment they all closed their eyes at the same time, frightened by the power of the sword.
It was as if a real giant was standing behind Lann and swung the sword for him. When everyone opened their eyes, they saw that the ice giant had been ripped open from shoulder to abdomen. A sword as long as an arm had cut a wound big enough to split the city gate open, and smelly blood gushed out like a fountain.
An oak coffin dodged the sword and rolled out. Fetov's magic immediately took effect on it, causing the oak to expand, revealing the unconscious Harold family head inside.
…
"god……"
The ice giant didn't even have the strength to scream. It stared in confusion at the blond knight who had dealt it a fatal blow, as if it sensed that its life that had lasted for thousands of years would end today.
An illusory figure emerged from the body of the ice giant and condensed into a soul in a painting wearing a Gothic black dress. Her body was almost no longer solid, and possessing such a creature, even if it was just to slow down the opponent's movements, would be a huge consumption for her.
"It's over." Alice stood beside Lann. The black magic scimitar had returned to the scabbard behind Lann's back at some point.
"Thank you for your hard work, Alice." The soul in the painting turned into a bright emerald flame and returned to the scimitar, using the black magic energy of the same origin inside to restore its own strength.
But Lann still stared at the ice giant intently. For him, this matter was not over yet.
The demon hunters looked at Lann in confusion, and Easter, Yennefer and Fetov also gathered around.
"what are you up to?"
Lann didn't look back, but just smiled and said, "I thought of something more honorable than 'killing the ice giant'. It will definitely make the archipelago sing our songs for thousands of years to come."
He watched the ice giant's blood drain out, and watched him roar again as if he had a last breath of life. Then his struggle weakened again, his eyes closed tightly, until only his last weak breath was left.
"god……"
“My God…”
"hiss……"
The ice giant finally uttered a word other than "God".
Kolgrim nodded and commented: "Now we can finally confirm that he is not just shouting, but has really learned to speak."
Easter and Fetov looked at each other and had a bold guess in their minds.
Lann stared at the ice giant intently, and finally when the other party's breath was about to run out and die, he placed his left hand on the other party's forehead.
This was something he had been preparing for.
Consume one skill point to open a new [Follower] panel.
Follower - Contract.
The experience that was almost full was suddenly cleared out as if by an eraser, and almost enough energy to support Lann's entire level increase was invested into the contract.
The snowy mountains suddenly came alive. In this place covered by ice, the wounds on the giant's body suddenly began to grow like new shoots moistened by spring rain. The wounds across his body seemed to be forcibly wiped away by a big hand. The ice-blue skin infected the burnt black and green-purple on his body. In an instant, the ice giant returned to the way he had just seen everyone.
No, it was even healthier, its muscles and skin were now more rounded, and the traces of various natural disasters, hunting, and fighting over thousands of years left on the ice giant were also erased. If the previous giant was like a weathered rock in the mountains, then now it was like an ice rock sculpture that had just been completed by a sculptor.
The ice giant suddenly opened his eyes, struggled lightly to break free from the druid and sorceress's restraints, and jumped slightly to get out of the trap.
"Clang, clang, clang"
Perhaps they knew Lann's abilities, but after just going through a battle, the crowd still drew their weapons and took fighting stances under the intimidation of the ice giant.
But Lann knew that the contract was successful, because when the ice giant landed, he bent his knees to cushion the impact, in order not to hurt the people around him - or in other words, not to hurt Lann.
Under the vigilant gazes of everyone, surrounded by a rain of swords and arrows, the ice giant crawled towards Lann, bowed his head, and shouted -
——"My God."
