Witcher: I Can Extract Everything Novel - Chapter 383

Chapter 383 Fire Snake

What was a Shaman’s spell like? With this question in mind, Heath focused his attention on Shaman Kerza.

Kerza stumbled forward, raised his long hands, and began to chant a long incantation.

Heath was slightly stunned when he heard the incantation.

According to his knowledge, Wizards should be the only ones who needed to chant spells, because incantation was essentially a special syllable that could communicate with the elements. This syllable would collide with mind power when it was uttered, which would affect the effect of the elements to mobilize the elements.

The research that Wizards had been doing for generations was to understand the meaning of each syllable and how these syllables could be combined to produce a better effect and produce more energy.

In other words, spells should be a kind of encapsulation of knowledge, a manifestation of knowledge. As for other creatures such as demonized creatures, high-level magical elves, and even high-level magical beasts, most of these creatures used innate talents when they cast spells. It was equivalent to them having organs that could cast spells, so they did not need knowledge or research.

Since they did not even need knowledge, they naturally did not need spells.

However, the Shaman was now chanting, which surprised Heath. “This syllable sounds like… It doesn’t seem like a regular syllable, but it does sound like something from ancient times… the surging spiritual power field is also like this…’ Touching his chin, Heath began to ponder.

At the same time, as Kerza chanted, with him as the center, a surging spiritual power field was released, and the surrounding forcefield instantly began to surge.

Rumble! A violent rumble sounded.

Scorching flames suddenly bloomed from Kerza’s body and rapidly rose to a height of more than ten meters, quickly transforming into a huge fire snake in the air.

“What dense fire elements!”

Seeing this fire snake, Heath could not help but be shocked.

He could sense an extremely strong fire element from this fire snake. It was an element that far exceeded the strength of ordinary flames. It was as if a ball of already dense fire element had been compressed repeatedly before this kind of energy had long emerged. Heath could even smell a trace of the power of rules within this.

“This fire…’ Heath frowned. He did not expect this little Underground Gnome to be able to mobilize so much energy. Was this a talent? Or was it a kind of spell knowledge that he did not know?

At the same time, the battle ahead was still ongoing.

After the fire snake had completely solidified, Kerza raised the long cane in his hand high and swung it at a Nightmare in front of him.

Whoosh!

The fire snake swung its long tail and pounced at the Nightmare. It was extremely fast and appeared in front of the Nightmare in an instant. It opened its mouth with long fangs, swallowing the Nightmare in one gulp.

Rumble! There was a loud sound. The Nightmare turned red, hot, and began to melt bit by bit under the fierce burning of the flames. It completely turned into hot lava.

“Shaman! Shaman!”

“Shaman! Shaman!”

The Underground Gnomes, who had just been panicking because of the massacre of the Nightmares, immediately regained their original morale. Everyone shouted the name of the Shaman and attacked the Nightmare, the situation on the battlefield seemed to have stabilized again at this moment.

On Kerza’s side, after eliminating the first Nightmare, he immediately struck while the iron was hot. He waved his cane and controlled the fire snake to continue pouncing on the second Nightmare. Although these Nightmares looked extremely powerful, they did not seem to be very intelligent. They did not retreat when faced with the powerful fire snake. Instead, they waved their fists and fought with the fire snake.

Undeniably, whether it was in terms of strength or speed, these Nightmares were not to be underestimated. However, they were clearly weaker when compared to this fire snake. When the fire snake swept over… The second Nightmare was quickly buried under the fire snake’s attack and melted into a puddle of fire.

Following that was the third… the fourth…

Under the attack of this powerful fire snake, in the blink of an eye, four Nightmares fell to the ground.

However, the fire snake’s attack ended here.

After the third Nightmare was melted, the power of the fire snake was obviously not as strong as before. Its originally solid body also looked a little illusory, as if it had become transparent.

When it was fighting with the fourth Nightmare, the fire snake was a little powerless. Its body was even hit by the attacks of the Nightmare, leaving holes everywhere. Although the fourth Nightmare was melted in the end, it was obviously very difficult. After the fourth Nightmare fell, the fire snake itself became riddled with holes.

Seeing this, Kerza did not immediately continue to attack. Instead, he controlled the fire snake to form a circle on the same spot as if he was resting.

Kerza himself began to pant one after another. The sweat on his forehead was also rising. However, they were all evaporated by the blazing heat. Clearly, the damage of this spell was terrifying, it was also a great burden for Kerza.

Kerza wanted to rest for a while before fighting again. However, the current situation did not go according to his wishes. “Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!”

Roars sounded one after another. They were the remaining Nightmares.

They did not give the fire snake a chance to catch its breath. After their companions fell, the remaining Nightmares rushed towards the fire snake and quickly fought with it.

After the first few rounds of attacks, the fire snake was already at the end of its tether. How could it withstand the attacks of the remaining Nightmares? When the Nightmares surrounded it, a loud rumbling sound could be heard. The fire snake’s body exploded one hole after another, and the entire fire snake shook violently.

Seeing that the fire snake was heavily injured, Kerza’s expression changed drastically. He hurriedly waved his staff in an attempt to pull the fire snake away from the onslaught of the Nightmares. However, the fire snake’s movement speed was only a notch higher than these Nightmares. Now that it was injured and surrounded, how could it break free so easily?

Even though Kerza had already tried his best to mobilize the fire snake to escape, it was once again caught up by the Nightmares not long after it escaped. Following that, another round of brutal encirclement ensued. And after this round of encirclement… The fire snake, who had long reached its limit, could no longer hold on and exploded into a ball of flames with a ‘boom’.

The moment the fire snake exploded, Kerza’s face turned pale as if he had suffered the same serious injury. He opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood. His body swayed heavily, as if he could fall at any moment.

“Shaman!” “Shaman!”

The expressions of the Underground Gnomes changed drastically, and a few of them rushed up to support Kerza. ‘Is this a spiritual connection?’

At the moment when the fire snake exploded, Heath clearly felt that the spiritual energy field between the fire snake and Kerza was vibrating at the same level. It was as if a marionette was suddenly cut short from the middle. “Roar!”

An intense roar sounded, like the elegy from the region and the death knell from the top of the tower. It made the Underground Gnomes terrified.

After losing the fire snake, these Nightmares no longer had any obstacles. Ordinary Underground Gnomes were no match for them at all. Their little bit of damage was not even worth mentioning to the Nightmares.

The Nightmares were like walking into a cafeteria. Each of them had an Underground Gnome in each hand. They grabbed them and stuffed them into their mouths, followed by the sound of ‘Ka! Pu!’. One by one, the Underground Gnomes exploded in a Nightmare’s mouth.

Seeing their companions being chewed into pieces and swallowed by the monster’s mouth with their own eyes, to be honest, this scene had a huge impact on the Underground Gnomes, especially when they saw their companions being crushed into pieces. Some of the Underground Gnomes even began to tremble as they held their weapons.

“Hold on! Don’t retreat, don’t retreat!”

“The Shaman will support us soon!”

“The magic array can be reactivated soon! We will win!”

Albert brandished his stone axe and shouted as loudly as he could in an attempt to stabilize the morale of the army. However, his shouts were of limited use at this time. After all, no matter how much chicken soup was poured into their hearts… If they could not defeat the monster before them, they could not defeat it. No matter how loud Albert’s shouts were, he could not avoid the terrifying impact of his companions being eaten and chewed into pieces.

Seeing that the Underground Gnomes were beginning to lose, Kerza could not help but become anxious. He tried his best to prop himself up as if he wanted to do something. However, after the collapse of the fire snake… His spiritual power seemed to have been damaged, and his magic power was exhausted. He could not do anything for a while.

After trying a few times but still failed to wave his staff. He could only look at Heath anxiously. “Sir Wizard! Sir Wizard! Please help us, please help us!”

Heath did not waste any time and immediately pulled out the Red Demon greatsword.

Although it was a bit shameful for these Underground Gnomes to put on a high hat for him, he still had to live here for a period of time, after all, not to mention that he still needed the Underground Gnomes to guide him. In addition to this, he was also curious about what this Nightmare was. Now that he had the opportunity, of course, he had to study it carefully.

Clang!

A loud sword chime rang out. Heath brandished his Red Demon greatsword and charged straight towards a Nightmare in front of him. The red beam of light from the greatsword was like a red ribbon dancing in the air.

With both hands holding Red Demon, Heath’s entire body was like a bolt of lightning as he charged straight towards a nearby Nightmare.

This Nightmare was currently slaughtering its way through the Underground Gnomes. It was completely unprepared against Heath’s sudden attack that was fast and ruthless. Moreover, it was in a state where its back was facing Heath. It was even more impossible for it to react. However, just as Heath’s greatsword was about to slash at its body, this Nightmare seemed to have eyes on its back. It suddenly turned around with a movement so fast that it was almost impossible to see clearly. It raised its palm and grabbed Heath’s greatsword.

Clang! The sound of metal colliding with each other like a gong sounded. Heath’s powerful sword slashed at the Nightmare’s palm, but it did not even break the other party’s palm. Instead, it was blocked by Heath’s two hands.

‘What a strong physique!

Although he had already discovered that these seemingly mud-like Nightmares actually had an extraordinary physique when he was watching the battle, it was still out of Heath’s expectations when they really exchanged blows. His sword just now had basically used the power of the pinnacle of his Knight level. Even a city wall could not withstand his sword. However, at this moment, it was firmly held by the Nightmare’s hands. Other than being abnormal… Heath could not find any other words to describe this monster.

Hu! Hu!

Before Heath could accept the reality before him, suddenly, a strong sound of wind breaking could be heard.

The Nightmare in front of him suddenly turned into an afterimage. At the same time, one of its legs fiercely swung towards Heath. The movement of that leg caused the speed that was already at its peak to increase greatly. It was so fast that it could not be seen with the naked eye.

Heath’s heart tightened. He quickly disappeared from where he was. When he reappeared, he was already five meters away.

At the same time that he disappeared, he could vaguely see that there was a leg that swung past where he was standing just now. As that leg swung past, there was a tearing sound, and the air seemed to be torn apart from within. Numerous tiny spatial cracks were revealed. One could imagine what would have happened if Heath had been standing there just now.

‘What fast speed!’

Even Heath, who was growing faster, could not help but exclaim at the speed of the Nightmare. It could tear apart the spatial cracks with its speed. This speed was no longer something that could be described as simply fast.

Hu! Hu!

Before Heath could react, that cold whistling sound once again sounded.

Having encountered the previous encounter, just hearing this sound caused Heath’s heart to tighten, and his entire person hurriedly became 120% focused.

At the same time, a blurry figure instantly appeared in front of Heath. It was the Nightmare that had just swept across him with its side leg.

Similarly, the Nightmare that appeared in front of Heath immediately attacked him. The monster suddenly raised its two long arms and clenched them into a fist. It smashed down towards Heath’s face.

“Just in time!”

Faced with this powerful attack, Heath was not afraid. He immediately raised the Red Demon greatsword in his hand and slashed down. It was as if he wanted to engage in a head-on clash with the monster. It was purely a contest of strength.

Boom! A deafening sound rang out once again, like a clap of thunder in the sky.

At the instant that the monster’s fist collided, Heath immediately felt an unprecedentedly powerful force sweep over him. In an instant, the shock caused his palm to go numb, and the Red Demon Greatsword in his hand almost fell out of his hand…
