Chapter 298: My Alchemy Bombs are Endless
His judgment was correct.
The two filthy things were indeed hiding on the rooftop.
Not only that, but the place had also been transformed into a bizarre sacrificial altar for a malevolent god.
The floor of the altar, or rather, the rooftop, was covered in blood so deep it reached the tops of his shoes.
In front of the altar, two stone walls several meters high were erected, forming a gate-like structure.
However, if you observed carefully enough, you would realize that they weren't stone walls at all, but rather a wall of flesh, layered and piled up with countless corpses.
Furthermore, these corpses were actually alive.
Perhaps sensing the presence of a living person.
The wall of flesh, piled with countless corpses, actually "came to life."
Arms, stained red with blood, stretched forward desperately, as if wanting to drag the innocent approaching victim and turn them into one of their own.
And behind that "gate," the Risen Knight stood there.
The Phantom Lady clung tightly to his back, her hands wrapped around his shoulders, hanging down from his chest.
The scene looked bizarre from every angle.
A group of Lantern Specters appeared on the rooftop, surging forward like a tide.
Lynn unceremoniously pulled out a Superior Moon Dust Bomb.
This item could make superior specters materialize and directly harm the lowest-level specters.
The number of specters was so large that each Superior Moon Dust Bomb could hit several specters upon detonation.
Every specter touched by the moon dust powder hissed with white smoke, as if suffering immense damage, screaming in agony.
Under Lynn's non-cost-effective use of the Superior Moon Dust Bombs, the Lantern Specters couldn't even get close to him, and were annihilated by the saturated bombing of one alchemy bomb after another.
Since the space inside the Runed Leather Pouch was about the size of a villa, Lynn had been storing a large number of alchemy bombs in it.
Alchemy bombs were originally a witcher's trump card for fighting outnumbered opponents, but most witchers were too poor. Many were not only poor in material possessions, but also in spirit.
Lynn had heard from Vesemir that some witchers were unwilling to use alchemy bombs and potions even at a critical moment, as the mindset of "not wanting to use it" was deeply ingrained in their bones.
And the way Lynn fought was probably more wasteful than even the old masters would have been.
Just as Lynn was engaged in a fierce battle with the specter horde, the Risen Knight also moved.
He raised his halberd, and the Phantom Lady on his back manifested a magical aura in her hands, gently wiping it across the blade of the halberd.
A cloud of black smoke immediately ignited on the halberd blade.
Then, he viciously brought it down.
The Risen Knight and the witcher were several meters apart, yet the black smoke extended several meters from the tip of the halberd, pressing down.
Any Lantern Specters accidentally hit along the way turned into dust.
However, Lynn had already rolled and dodged before the black smoke came down.
The Risen Knight waved his halberd.
And along with the Phantom Lady, disappeared on the spot.
The medallion hanging on his chest vibrated more violently than ever, but Lynn remained calm and casually cast an Aard Sign to the side.
He had already seen similar short-distance teleportation skills before, so when the Risen Knight disappeared, he guessed that the opponent would surely teleport near him.
Moreover, a witcher's senses were sharp. Even a short-distance teleportation would cause a vibration in the air at the moment of disappearance and appearance.
Even if it was minor, he could still sense it.
As expected, when Lynn cast the Aard Sign, the Risen Knight actually teleported to that exact location.
Before it could even raise its tower shield, it was struck by the Aard Sign. Despite the heavy armor it wore, it was still knocked back.
Immediately after, Lynn cast a Yrden Trap on the ground.
A purple light enveloped the Risen Knight, making it feel as if it was in a swamp, unable to move.
No matter how the Phantom Lady on the Risen Knight's back tried to control it, the Risen Knight was only slightly better than a turtle in terms of movement.
The short-distance teleportation skill was also not something that could be cast at any time.
Out of desperation, the Phantom Lady had no choice but to open her mouth and spew out a mouthful of foul-smelling green acid.
But Lynn extended his left hand, and his master-grade Quen Shield blocked the corrosive acid.
Landing steadily on the ground, Lynn twisted his waist and exerted force, his body becoming like a fully-stretched spring.
Then.
Snap!
The blade of his grandmaster silver sword shattered the ribs and vertebrae from the back.
Next, the second sword struck down vertically, from the shoulder blade all the way down, breaking the ribs.
Finally, a swing at the neck, and with one strike, he cut off the Phantom Lady's head.
The Phantom Lady let out a mournful shriek and dissipated into the air.
Without the Phantom Lady, the headless Risen Knight fell back to the ground.
After Lynn defeated the Phantom Lady, he blinked and found that the illusion on the rooftop had been lifted.
Where was the blood covering the shoes and the "gate" made of piled corpses?
Instead, there was a white skeleton half-kneeling on the ground, wearing armor and holding a halberd, but with pitchforks stuck all over its body.
Lynn knew that this skeleton must be the master of this castle, the Risen Knight he had just been fighting.
The lowest-level Lantern Specters could be exorcised by repeatedly killing them.
However, both the Risen Knight and the Phantom Lady were superior specters.
They were not so easily killed.
There was only one way to exorcise them.
Specters usually appear because they died with great resentment, and their corpses were not properly buried.
Therefore, as long as the corpse is burned.
No matter how great the resentment and obsession of the specter, it will ascend.
Lynn used the Igni Sign to directly ignite the Risen Knight's corpse. The Risen Knight appeared again, but the witcher, who had fought it twice and was familiar with its moves and patterns, killed it more easily than before.
And this was the last time.
Next.
He just needed to find the Phantom Lady's corpse.
...
The witcher searched the rooftop for a while, and finally found a staircase embedded in the outer wall of the main castle on one side of the rooftop.
The stairs were not long, only about the height of one floor.
At the bottom of the stairs was a narrow wooden walkway.
Lynn followed the stairs down, and then walked along the narrow walkway to the end.
And then there was no more road.
