20. Current Offense.

"Good lad, I like your boldness!"

"We'll be watching over you."

Letho lowered his voice, smiling as he patted Allen on the shoulder.

Vesemir also nodded. "Don't forget the Quen sign, Allen."

Allen nodded, drawing the Elven silver sword and stealthily approaching the nearest drowner.

Elven silver sword, Elsa, still didn't quite fit his hand. However, with enhanced attributes, the Wolf School dual-handed sword had also reached LV2, and Allen could now use her effectively in combat.

Click, click...

Even though his steps were light, the crushed leaves stubbornly made their sound. The blue figure drew closer. His heartbeat quickened.

Allen estimated the distance in his mind. It was impossible to take down all eight drowners at once, at least not for Allen at the moment. He had to strike as many monsters as possible before they could react. Magic flowed within him. His thumb and forefinger formed a triangle in front of him.

Quen sign.

A faint yellow light flashed.

Due to the enhancement of the Mystery attribute, Allen's Quen sign this time was visibly darker than it was in the morning.

With the shield in place, Allen hesitated no longer. He crouched down, and in the instant his pupils contracted like a cat's, he charged forward like a tiger descending from a mountain.

Five meters were crossed in two steps.

In the blink of an eye, Allen pivoted, and Elsa, like a silver lightning bolt, slashed across a drowner's neck.

Splurt

The blade cut smoothly, without any hesitation, and slid out from the other side. Without time to marvel at the sharpness of the silver sword, Allen sidestepped swiftly past the falling corpse.

His left and right feet moved quickly, crossing in a swift step. With a bow stance, he swung his sword close to his waist. Following the right foot hitting the ground, strength flowed from the earth through his right leg and spine, reaching both hands.

Stab!

The silver sword, like a silver needle, pierced accurately, striking two closely adjacent drowners. The silver light pierced through the neck and then into the right eye of the second drowner, finally emerging from the back of its skull.

If it weren't for reaching LV2 in dual-handed sword skills, advancing in strength, agility, and perception, Allen wouldn't have been able to be so precise.

Of course, none of these were the most crucial. The most crucial was Elsa, the silver sword, worthy of her price of 17,325 orens. Not only did she smoothly sever heads, even when thrust into hard skulls, it felt as if she were stabbing into soft tofu. It was only then that the drowner group began to react, howling and rushing towards Allen.

Allen quickly retreated two steps. As he caught his breath, he disrupted the formation of the oncoming drowners. His two steps not only allowed the first drowner to attack him but also hindered the approach of the others.

"Beautiful footwork, exquisite tactics!" Letho couldn't help but exclaim, "Vesemir, did you see that? He doesn't seem like just an apprentice."

Vesemir smiled proudly. "Who do you think taught him?"

"Yeah, yeah, and most importantly, isn't it because of the 17,325 orens Elsa you contributed? She's amazing!" Letho couldn't stand seeing someone showing off in front of him.

Vesemir's face darkened, and he kicked Letho hard, saying, "Have you thought about where to hide?"

"Avoiding the pursuit of Vera isn't easy."

Letho was about to dodge, but because of that name, his body trembled involuntarily, taking the kick head-on.

"Despicable!"

"Tit for tat!"

Thinking of a refuge, Letho rarely showed a trace of worry on his face.

He resigned himself, saying, "Just find any city. Respected and great sorceress Vera is so busy, she probably wouldn't bother looking for me over something small."

"That's not necessarily true. The women I've met are not necessarily straightforward."

"Maybe they enjoy teaching lessons to poor souls like you."

"Shut up and watch your precious apprentice. Don't let him have any accidents." Letho patted the mud stains kicked onto his trousers, saying in a sinister tone, "I don't want to change my mind and return to kaer morhen."

Vesemir glared at him again at the mention of that. Then he refocused his gaze back to the babbling brook.

Dodging the claws by leaning back, Allen rolled over as if performing acrobatics. After landing lightly, he suddenly stood up, lifting his sword with both hands. A silver arc flashed, and in an instant, the drowner's head was split in two, the cut perfectly crossing through the forehead.

"Three left," Allen silently counted.

Even the brainless drowners no longer had the ferocity they started with at this moment. It was the instinct of monsters to seek advantage and avoid harm. Now, like a pack of wolves, the three drowners circled Allen hesitantly.

Allen took this opportunity to defend with his sword in the midsection, calming his breath.

Huff... Huff...

The short but intense battle made Allen involuntarily gasp loudly. One drowner thought it saw a weakness and charged recklessly.Then it was cleanly split in two.

"Two left!"

The death of this drowner burst the morale of the remaining monsters.

Gwala... Gwala...

They screamed in confusion, turning to plunge into the unknown depths of the stream. But the apprentice Witcher had long anticipated this scene.He quickly rushed between the two remaining drowners.

Turning swiftly!

A silver arc painted a perfect circle. From afar, it looked like a full moon rising in the blue sky. Both beautiful and brutal.

Splurt

Two sounds of flesh being cut sounded almost simultaneously.

Then, Two bodies fell, kicking up dust.

S-!

Double rewards!

Indeed, hunting monsters is the only righteous path in the Witcher's notes. Sixteen drowner's heart essence, enough for eight days' worth of meals.

As Allen was about to continue reading, two Witchers approached.

"Hahaha... Well done, Allen," Letho laughed as he approached, patting Allen's shoulder vigorously.

It hurt so much that Allen couldn't tell if it was congratulations or if he was deliberately transferring the resentment from the sorceress to his apprentice.

Vesemir also walked over with a smile, arms crossed, praising, "Allen, once you master all the signs, you'll be a qualified Witcher!"

Hearing Vesemir's approval, Allen was very happy inside, but he remained modest, saying, "Oh, I still have a lot to improve."

Seemingly remembering something, Allen raised the silver sword in his hand and said with a smile, "Thanks to your Elsa."

"She's really amazing!"
