The Witcher: Grinding Experience Starting as a Wolf School Witcher

Chapter 65 Royal Pterodactyl

In October, the weather in Cordwin grew colder and colder.

Arwen took out potions from his pouch: [Tawny Owl] to boost his energy, and [Golden Oriole] to increase his resistance to negative effects.

He drank both bottles of medicine, exhaled a breath of stale air, and clenched his fists.

The prominent blue veins on his pale skin turned black.

If he had the [Blizzard] or [Thunder] potions on him, he would choose one of them and drink it all at once.

Dealing with pterosaurs is no child's play.

Mia, standing beside her, was also preparing props such as bottles and jars.

She handed the black sphere to Alwin.

Honeycomb bomb.

As the name suggests, once detonated, the iron pieces inside will explode like a honeycomb.

"Witcher, I obtained this from a dwarf. The high priest told me that your Igni sign is very suitable for this little thing. I hope it will be of help to you."

At this point, Alwin didn't stand on ceremony, accepted the money, and tucked it into his waistband.

He immediately knelt down on the spot and forced himself into meditation.

Adjusting your mindset can also trigger the effect of [Meditation Aftertaste].

This action slightly surprised Mia, but she didn't think much of it.

Knight Draco and Archer Vaughn were not idle either.

The former was wiping the square shield that was half a person's height, while the latter was applying a layer of green grease to his arrows, a faint fishy smell wafting on the cold wind.

Alwin's nose twitched, and he could smell the scents of aconite, animal fat, and monster flesh.

He was secretly surprised.

This is something similar to Dragon Sword Oil.

A moment later...

"roar!"

A deep roar came from inside the cave, followed by the sound of a monster crashing against the rock wall.

The ravens flapped their wings and flew high into the sky, cawing as a warning.

Alwin opened his eyes.

"They've arrived."

He stood up, reached over his shoulder, drew his silver sword, and made a Kun mudra with his left hand.

Upon hearing the roar, Mia clenched her fists, revealing her inner panic.

The loud noise grew closer, followed by a series of loud screams.

"Oh my God! That damned beast was too fast! He poked my butt!"

"Damn it, Draco, come quick and help me block this! I'm about to die!"

Knight Draco swiftly pulled down his helmet visor with his right hand, his arm muscles bulging as he raised his shield. He charged forward with heavy steps, driving the ridged edge of the shield into the ground.

A short man wearing brown leather armor ran quickly out of the cave. His short legs moved so fast that even the wild rabbits in the forest couldn't keep up with him. He quickly circled around to the back of the knight Draco.

A brownish-yellow monster burst out of the cave and crashed heavily onto the shield.

Knight Draco let out a muffled groan as his body, shield and all, flew three or four meters away before crashing to the ground.

"My God!"

The dwarf, Gren, let out a loud, strange cry.

"roar!"

A terrifying roar echoed through the pine forest, and all the animals scattered like birds and beasts.

The monster's sharp teeth and jaws were about to tear at the fallen knight Draco.

The stench billowed out like smoke, making Draco's eyes water.

A silver sword flash pierced the twilight.

The sword struck the scales, scattering brilliant sparks.

The monster's winged claws lashed out, tearing the air with a rapid, piercing sound.

Alwin spun around, twisting his waist as he used the momentum to unleash two powerful spinning slashes.

【Spinning Blade】.

The monster hissed and retreated rapidly, its wingspan nearly eight meters, blotting out the sky and creating a whirlwind that sent sand, mud, and fallen leaves flying everywhere.

Alwin retreated quickly.

Two pairs of vertical pupils locked eyes, exuding the savage aura of a apex predator.

Sir Draco hurriedly got up, picked up his shield, and swallowed hard.

Arwen began to slowly move around the monster, applying pressure while also getting a clearer look at it.

The monster had a twisted, dark brown horn on its head, and its split mouth revealed menacing teeth, with thick saliva constantly dripping from it.

Its body was covered in brownish-yellow scales, and its neck was adorned with messy, yellowish-brown mane.

It stands nearly 1.9 meters tall at the shoulder, and its bulging membranous wings are covered with spiderweb-like blood vessels.

Its thick, sharp claws on its hind legs can easily tear through skin.

Especially the stingers at the tail, which carry a deadly poison that even witchers must be wary of.

Although it is a sub-dragon species, it still carries a hint of dragon might, and its breath alone is enough to send chills down one's spine.

"roar!"

The pterosaur's crimson vertical pupils narrowed, its wings flapped, and its powerful hind legs sprang forward, preparing to take flight into the sky.

"Damn it, we can't let that beast fly."

A shout came from behind, this time from the archer Vaughn.

Arwen knew perfectly well that if he let the pterosaurs fly into the sky, their chances of winning would be almost zero.

In the blink of an eye, the honeycomb bomb hanging from his waist was launched like a cannonball.

Ignis made a hand seal.

Under the calculations of the [Dual Soul], the fuse buried inside the honeycomb bomb suddenly exploded.

"boom!"

A thunderclap rose from the ground, honeycomb fragments exploded in the air, and blinding light swept around.

Arwen used Quen's shield to dodge quickly, while the dwarfs Grunt and Draco hid behind the shield.

"Ding ding ding!"

A series of rapid, continuous explosions were followed by the roar of a pterosaur.

Its suspended body fell to the ground, shaking its head and seeing stars.

"call out!"

A silver streak flew out, its heavy spikes wrapping around the pterosaur's body before being flung out a bit more.

Draco's years of combat experience led him to make his decision.

He dropped his shield and strode forward, grabbing the silver chain that was swinging in the air with both hands.

Arwen formed a hand seal with his left hand, and a purple beam of light spread beneath the pterodactyl's feet.

【Yadin Seal】.

He immediately twisted his left wrist, quickly wrapped the silver chain around his left arm, clenched his palm, and pulled at the same time as the knight Draco.

The [Giant Bloodline] suddenly erupted.

"roar!"

The pterosaur's body was lowered.

A medicine bottle was thrown from the sky and landed at the pterosaur's feet. The glass shattered, and green liquid splashed out in a circle, shimmering with beautiful ripples.

"A magical potion."

As Alwin thought this, the ground began to ripple, and a thick vine burst forth from the earth, quickly binding the pterosaur's waist.

"He's got him tied down, Vaughn! Quick, teach him a lesson with your arrows!" the dwarf Gren shouted excitedly.

"Watch closely."

Archer Vaughn drew his bowstring taut, the dark, prismatic arrowhead gleaming with a chilling light.

"call out!"

The sharp, rapid sound of something cutting through the air rang in everyone's ears.

Alwin used his cat's eye to track the trajectory of the arrow and saw it precisely strike the dark red shadow below the pterosaur's belly.

"when!"

After a brief spark, came the sound of metal clashing.

The prismatic arrow seemed to slip, shifting its angle before finally embedding itself straight in the ground.

Archer Vaughn, witnessing this, exclaimed in horror, "How is this possible? I clearly shot its wound!"

The pterosaur shook its massive head, the dizziness dissipating considerably, and its scarlet vertical pupils revealed a mocking expression.

Alwin's cat-like eyes narrowed, and he cursed inwardly.

This isn't a wound at all; it's clearly a dark red scale.

This monster in front of us is no ordinary pterosaur, but a royal pterosaur!

The apex predator among dragons!
