With the help of the green dragon descending from the sky, the subsequent battle became simple.
Given the disparity in size and strength, the Ancient Leshen was no match for the green dragon in terms of close-quarters combat.
Not only was it ridden and pummeled, but it also received the premium service of dragon's breath to its face, practically being rubbed into the ground.
And because of the war of attrition with Guilliman, even as a monster, the Ancient Leshen's magic and stamina consumption were severe.
Although its attacks also made the green dragon yelp, this green dragon was clearly a very competent comrade, holding onto the monster beneath it despite being injured.
Soon, with the green dragon's distraction, Guilliman also cleared out the surrounding small monsters at his fastest speed, using a large-area Igni Sign.
When he, with the green dragon's cooperation, chopped off the Ancient Leshen's head for the twelfth time, this bizarre monster finally stopped moving, and the wounds on its body that had been cut off no longer healed; a strong stench emanated from it.
Without hesitation, to prevent the Ancient Leshen from using special magic to transfer its soul into another living being, Guilliman immediately used the Axii Sign, aimed at the corpse, and began to absorb.
Under the powerful and unique soul-absorbing force, he seemed to hear some kind of wailing.
A dark green, constantly twisting ball of soul light was forcibly pulled out from the Ancient Leshen's body, then wailed as it was sucked into the soul space.
Ding! A powerful soul has been captured.
The deep blue, cold voice came.
In an instant, the Leshen's corpse, which was thought to be dead, twitched violently, its joints breaking everywhere, and finally turned into a pool of foul blood, startling the green dragon nearby.
And in a place unknown to the Witcher, in a hidden corner of the Twisted Forest, seven or eight humans tied to different evil totems also twitched along with it.
They bled from their seven orifices, their expressions distorted, and they gradually died in an extremely painful process.
The soul seeds of the Leshens that had originally possessed them, as well as the evil totems behind them, collapsed with a bang.
This also meant that this strange Ancient Leshen was completely dead.
Legend has it that monsters like Leshens possess a magical ability; they use evil totems to control humans and attach their soul seeds to them.
As long as it's within the effective range of the evil totem, even if the Leshen is killed by a Witcher or a sorcerer, these monsters will resurrect after a period of time, making them very troublesome.
It was Guilliman's innate soul-absorbing ability that had a special counter-effect against these strange soul magics.
Otherwise, killing this Ancient Leshen would truly be a very troublesome matter.
After dealing with the Leshen, Guilliman looked up at the green dragon, which was covered in wounds from the Leshen's vines, and was about to say something.
Unexpectedly, the green dragon opened its mouth and let out a low growl.
A golden light suddenly appeared, enveloping the entire dragon, then with a crack, the green dragon's body rapidly shrunk, the light constantly twisting, and finally transformed into a golden-haired, full-figured, beautiful girl of about twenty years old.
Moreover, this girl was completely naked, without a single piece of clothing, but on her fair and smooth skin, there were many bruised scars, as if she had been whipped.
These should be the scars left from the battle with the Leshen just now.
Seeing this scene, Guilliman let out an 'oh' in his heart, but didn't show too much surprise, merely sizing up the dragon girl with an appreciative gaze, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
Unfortunately, after a few more seconds, before the Witcher could fully appreciate her, the girl looked at her naked body, probably feeling that it was inappropriate, so she turned around, bent down to pick up a leaf from the ground, and transformed into a linen shirt and shorts, covering her naked, beautiful body.
Holy cow! That turn, that bend, tsk tsk tsk, what a big butt!
Guilliman praised in his heart, feeling as refreshed as if he had eaten an ice cream, but his expression quickly returned to seriousness, and he spoke again:
"Thank you for your help, Madam."
"Without your help, I wouldn't have defeated this Ancient Leshen so easily."
Hearing the Witcher's words, the dragon girl gently shook her head and said in a slightly neutral voice:
"You don't need to thank me, sir."
"Dealing with these evil creatures and guarding the balance of the world is what we should do."
"I've flown over here several times before and also wanted to deal with this terrifying monster."
"But I never had confidence, and I knew that I alone would find it difficult to defeat it."
"I just didn't expect that among humans, there would be a warrior like you, capable of severely wounding this monster, giving us the opportunity to eliminate it."
The dragon girl was still not experienced enough; she didn't recognize Guilliman as a Witcher from his appearance and attire.
She probably thought he was a powerful swordsman or a powerful mage.
Guilliman smiled and then introduced himself:
"I shouldn't really be considered human, madam."
"My name is Guilliman, and I am a Witcher. Could you tell me your name?"
Perhaps because of their recent battle together, the dragon girl was not repulsed by Guilliman.
She turned her head and thought for a moment, as if recalling what a Witcher was, then smiled and said:
"Back in my homeland, there used to be a group of Witchers who served the royal family, very skilled at dealing with monsters, called the Manticore School."
"Oh, my name is Saqia Sas. You can call me Saqia, Mr. Guilliman."
Saqia, it was her indeed.
