Demon Hunter: I have a red gourd

Chapter 81 Brother, Your Face Has Fallen (Two in One)

Ivan used the Quen Sign to withstand another attack from Brian. Taking advantage of the gap in his attack, the steel sword in Ivan's hand flashed like lightning, cutting a gash in Brian's chest, and scarlet blood oozed out.

Immediately afterwards, Ivan kicked him hard in the chest, and Brian flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, hitting the wall of the corridor heavily.

In the midst of this, a circular shield emitting a faint yellow light hastily reappeared, barely covering Brian's body, but was ruthlessly shattered by Ivan's griffin steel sword, without causing any hindrance at all.

Seeing this thin and weak light shield that seemed to be useless, Ivan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Brian, could this be the Quen Sign you cast? Why is it so vulnerable and so weak?"

"Are you physically weak? No wonder you can only swing your steel sword at those defenseless old people and children to find some pitiful pleasure. I guess in other aspects, you are also willing but unable to experience any pleasure at all, right?"

"Look at you now! Don't ever call yourself a witcher again! Otherwise, it will bring shame to me and my real witcher friends. We will be ashamed to be associated with you!"

Cool! It’s really cool!

To deal with this arrogant and conceited scum, you must give him a severe blow through action, and then use words to completely reduce him to dust. Only in this way can you vent the frustration in your heart!
Awesome! So awesome!

However, although Ivan belittled his enemies in words, he would never show any contempt in his actions.

Although Brian has not completed the complete witcher trial and cannot be considered a qualified witcher in the true sense, the unique mutation formula and training system of the Cat School has given him extraordinary combat characteristics.

He is very fast, much faster than Ivan, and is very good at using light to hide his body, making it difficult to catch him.

At the same time, his battle sense was extremely sharp, like a dormant beast, always searching for the opponent's weakness. Although he couldn't shatter his own Quen shield immediately, he still relied on his excellent speed to repeatedly try to attack the same point of the golden shield.

Ivan could only adjust his position according to the rhythm of his attack to prevent the shield from being broken by him and hurting his body.

Now that he has seized the initiative, he will naturally not just focus on mocking and give up the advantage he has created with great difficulty.

Ivan took a sudden step forward, his body approaching rapidly, and the steel sword in his hand stabbed at Brian who was lying on the ground like lightning, heading straight for his chest.

With blood oozing from the corner of Brian's mouth, he jumped up from the ground in an almost weird posture, narrowly avoiding Ivan's fatal sword.

However, after the previous fight, he seemed to have given up the courage to continue fighting. After jumping up, he did not even think about fighting back, but turned around abruptly, intending to escape from the battlefield.

"Hmph, want to run away?"

"What a coward!"

Ivan snorted coldly. He just wanted to experience the swordsmanship of the Cat School up close, so he didn't use all his killing moves quickly.

And now, this coward actually wanted to run away with his tail between his legs, just like he did when he faced Geralt, but he would not give this old cat such a chance.

With the stealth ability of the Cat School, if we let him go today, who knows what kind of trouble he will cause in the future, and he might not even be able to sleep well in the future.

So, today, he must die here!

Ivan raised his left hand, bent his ring finger and little finger, and quickly drew a triangle in the air.

Brian, who was running away, suddenly paused and stopped.

The Axis Sign focuses attention on the opponent for a moment, which can affect the other person's mind, charm or control them.

Although Brian could not be considered a complete witcher, he still had a certain resistance to the spells cast by the witcher, so he just staggered.

But that's enough.

Ivan quickly changed his gestures, and a purple hourglass trap appeared between him and Brian, the Aden Seal - the most powerful form!
The two seals were cast simultaneously, and Brian felt as if he were sinking into a quagmire, unable to take another step. Although he was also a demon hunter, this was his first time experiencing such a powerful demon hunter seal.

He turned his head with difficulty and looked at Ivan who was rushing towards him. He gritted his teeth and spat out a few words:

"Damn you little griffin, you forced me to do this! Don't regret it!"

After hearing Brian's words, although Ivan continued to move, he suddenly became alert in his heart, ready to release the Igni Sign at any time.

With Guangzhi's lesson in mind, Ivan was extremely cautious in using the Igni Sign during battle. After all, once the fire raged, the spoils would often be burned.

According to his theory, this old cat was the culprit behind the massacre of the three villages. His movements were efficient and neat, and each sword strike was extremely precise, aiming directly at the weak points of the body. The wounds on the necks of the corpses were undoubtedly caused by him.

Therefore, he was certain that Brian was the pawn sent by Nilfgaard to disrupt the situation, specifically to intensify the conflict between the Scoia'tael and Temeria and cut off the elves' retreat.

Taking this into consideration, Ivan believed that Brian might be hiding some good things from the Southern Empire, and it would be a pity if they were all burned in a fire.

But no matter how important the baby is, it is not as important as one's own life. Who knows if Brian will suddenly take out a strange magic prop and reverse the situation? Then he will be self-defeating.

Therefore, Ivan stared at Brian's arm. If he dared to take anything from his waist, he would rush forward and cut off his arm with his sword.

Unexpectedly, he miscalculated.

Brian didn't reach for the things in his waist as he expected, but looked at him hatefully. Then, the muscles on his cheeks tightened suddenly, and he bit his teeth hard, as if he was biting something hidden in his mouth.

Damn, Brian's backup plan wasn't hidden on his body, but in his mouth!
Without a word, Ivan quickly formed a seal with his left hand. In an instant, a fiery magical power surged and condensed in his palm. Then, a surging Igni Seal, wrapped in blazing fire, rushed towards Brian, who was trapped by Arden.

After releasing the magic seal three times in a row with full strength, Ivan felt a little tired and had a dull headache.

He pulled a bottle of Tawny Owl from the potion belt at his waist and drank from it.

Tawny Owl: Accelerates the absorption and conversion of chaotic energy, temporarily increasing the user's magical control efficiency. Brian looked up, desperately staring at the fire dragon charging toward him. Ivan's full-strength Arden Sign had nearly paralyzed his legs.

He could only hope for the life-saving means given to him by the subordinates of this black-robed sorcerer. This was something he had tried so hard to obtain, and had to be humble and go through many twists and turns, just to provide an additional guarantee for his mission in Temeria.

The black-robed sorcerer's subordinate had only assured him that swallowing the object would boost his strength beyond belief. As for other details, no matter how hard he pressed, he could not get a single glimmer of truth from them.

Whenever he thinks back on the man's expression at that time, he still feels a little nauseous.

Unexpectedly, those elves did not cause him any trouble. Instead, this precious item was used by a griffin cub. Damn it!

The flames engulfed Brian's body, but surprisingly, he didn't feel any burning pain. Just when Ivan thought that this blow could burn Brian's body to charcoal, something strange happened.

Brian felt his sight angle suddenly change. The scenery that was originally level began to sink rapidly, and everything around him was getting smaller at a strange speed.

He wanted to look down in panic, but found that the movement of his neck became abnormally slow, as if it was being pulled by something heavy.

Immediately afterwards, an indescribable swelling pain spread from his limbs and bones, his bones cracking, as if trying to break free from the constraints of his flesh. His muscles bulged like air, his skin stretched to a shimmer, and then tore.

With a few "hissing" sounds, the thin armor on his body was shattered.

Blu-ray, see Blu-ray again!
In Ivan's vision, Brian's body was enveloped in a faint blue light, and then it suddenly expanded and grew larger. Immediately afterwards, his body grew larger and larger, and soon it was so large that it was almost becoming a giant?
Holy shit! What the hell is Nilfgaard doing?
The giant was a creature that Ivan had only seen in the books and catalogs of the Ker Sirens. He never expected that it would appear in front of him today.

What kind of weird experiment are they conducting? The size difference between humans and giants is so huge, and they become what they are now after swallowing something. Does this conform to the law of conservation of energy?

Also, why is Brian also emitting a blue light? Could the contents of his mouth be the same as those in the griffin's body?
Could it be that the giant he turned into also possesses that strange ability to resurrect?
Back to Brian's perspective, his pain has not ended yet.

He was in the process of changing, and was now being tortured by both severe pain and fear. The throbbing pain spread from his limbs to his entire body, as if countless sharp blades were cutting at will between his bones and flesh.

He wanted to shout loudly, but his throat seemed to be strangled by this force, and he could only make indistinct roars.

As his body expanded, his consciousness gradually blurred, but his deep desire for power grew stronger. He could clearly feel an unprecedented powerful force surging within him.

Finally, when the blue light dissipated, he had turned into a huge monster. He tried to focus his vision, looking at his huge and rough hands like rocks, and a strange emotion surged in his heart.

He tried to move his fingers, and there was a dull sound at the joints, accompanied by the explosion of air.

Then, he lowered his head and looked down at Ivan who was standing at his feet. At this moment, he was as small as an ant in his eyes.

"Hahahaha! Griffin cub, did you see that? This is the real power!" His throat seemed to have returned to normal, but due to his increased size, his voice was now low, like a huge bell, shaking the air around him.

"You're just a lucky guy who happened to pass the Demon Hunter Trial. As I am now, no matter how strong your seals are or how good your endurance is, what can you do to me?"

Ivan looked up, gazing at Brian's distorted face. Even his own mother wouldn't recognize his bloodied face. Only the scattered scraps of skin that remained barely revealed any trace of him having once been human.

Alas, it seems I don't need to worry too much. This Brian, it seems his brain has also been damaged as his body has grown.

Why didn't he think about the fact that his skin had been completely torn, and his bones and flesh had undergone earth-shaking changes. Could he ever change back to what he was now?

Will I have to continue living as a giant?
Or does this change come at a price, and once the duration ends, the body will become smaller again, and then die directly due to body damage?

Are you even qualified to use an avatar at this level? Can your cheats compare to the red gourd on my waist?

The witcher badge on his chest was shaking violently. Ivan swung the steel sword in his hand into a sword flower, hesitating whether to replace the steel sword with a silver sword.

It looked like this giant was quite strong. If he accidentally broke the silver sword, it would be a huge loss.

Inexplicably, a battle with his peers had turned into a demon hunting operation. Although this was his profession, why did he always feel that it was a little strange?
There are many types of giants. Which type does Brian's situation belong to?
A Cyclops, an Ice Giant, a Cloud Giant, or a Cursed Giant?
He looks most like Goyat, the unlucky giant cursed by the Lady of the Lake in Toussaint. So, if we shoot him in the eyes with a crossbow, will he be killed instantly?
Just think about this kind of thing. Ivan is a witcher from the Griffin school, and the Griffin school does not use crossbows.

Ivan was still thinking of a countermeasure in his mind, his eyes constantly scanning up and down Brian's huge body, trying to find the flaws in his body.

But Brian on the opposite side was impatient. He was already overwhelmed by the power and roared angrily. He swung his huge arms like mountains and smashed down at Ivan.

Ivan quickly formed seals and tried to release the Axis seal again, trying to see if he could control his brain and slow down his movements.

However, Brian continued to move, unaffected. This showed that he was on the verge of losing his human rationality and was acting entirely on his body's instincts.

In this case, Ivan has to change his battle strategy.

He nimbly dodged the giant arm with a leap, then, with his agility, weaved back and forth between Brian's two massive arms, like a nimble swallow, deftly avoiding every blow.

While dodging constantly, Ivan keenly caught a perfect opportunity. He took advantage of the gap between Brian's arms and put away his sword. Then he rushed forward and took advantage of the strong wind created by the swing of his arm to leap high.

In mid-air, Ivan clenched his fists, his muscles tensed, and all his strength was concentrated in his fists. Then, he used all his strength to smash down hard on Brian's already unrecognizable face.

"Bang!" A dull and heavy sound echoed in the air, and Ivan's fist hit the giant Brian's face solidly. Although it did not cause any harm to him, it still stunned him and made him stay in place.

Ivan landed on the ground and looked down to find a piece of skin stuck to his hand. He unfolded it and observed it. It seemed to be Brian's face as a human, and it was actually part of his nose.

He held up the skin, showing it to Blaine above him.

"Brother, your face is falling off."

"You should be shameless, right?"
