Chapter 99: Surprise Motherfucker
But...
The texture coming from the tip of the sword was wrong.
This wasn't the feeling of piercing a person.
Kiyan was shocked.
He immediately flung open the tent flap.
Inside the tent, apart from the pierced blanket, there wasn't a single person.
"Late at night, guarding the camp alone is boring, so I thought I'd come over and have a heart-to-heart word?"
A mocking voice came from behind.
Kiyan whirled around.
He saw the Wolf School witcher who should have been in his own tent emerging from someone else's tent.
Kiyan's eyes instantly widened into saucers.
"Surprise? Unexpected? Happy?"
Since he had long known that this fellow witcher was no good, how could Lynn not have been wary of him?
Especially when Kiyan volunteered to take the night watch, Lynn deliberately hid in the adjacent tent.
He hadn't expected the other to actually come.
Seeing that his intentions had been exposed, Kiyan didn't bother to pretend anymore.
"You know what? If you weren't so troublesome, I would have granted you a painless death."
Lynn sneered. "Well, thank you so much."
"Die with that arrogant attitude!"
Although Kiyan didn't know the saying "villains die from talking too much," he didn't bother to explain to someone he thought was already dead.
The blade pierced the air, leaving a straight flash of light, and stabbed fiercely towards Lynn.
The Cat School was indeed a witcher school specializing in speed and swordsmanship.
In both aspects, they had trained to the extreme.
Just a second ago, Kiyan was clearly still standing in place.
But in the next second, he had already completed the actions of drawing his sword and thrusting.
The distance between them was so close, and his attack was so sudden.
Kiyan was confident that he could definitely land a fatal blow...
"What?!"
Contrary to what he had expected...
The sure-kill strike had missed.
Kiyan's expression instantly froze.
And what horrified him even more was that Lynn hadn't dodged by leaping far to the side.
He had merely sidestepped slightly.
This proved that Lynn's speed was actually even greater than Kiyan's prideful speed.
This was only natural.
Not to mention the "Total Enhancement" talent that increased Lynn's speed.
When he heard Kiyan's footsteps approaching, he had also drunk a Superior Blizzard potion and a Superior Tawny Owl potion.
The amplification effect of superior potions was far greater than Kiyan's ordinary potions.
"How is this possible? I don't believe it!"
Sweat beaded on Kiyan's forehead.
He gritted his teeth.
His wrist suddenly exerted force again.
The air made a terrifying tearing sound.
The gleaming steel sword actually thrust out four more times in a short period.
Under normal circumstances, if it were anyone else, they would already have four constantly bleeding holes in their body.
But Lynn still dodged nimbly, as if he had precognition.
"My turn."
Kiyan was greatly alarmed.
Before he could retract the sword he had thrust out, the arm holding the sword had already been grabbed by Lynn.
Then...
Lynn's fist slammed heavily into Kiyan's face.
Kiyan felt as if a warhammer had directly struck his face.
In an instant, all his strength and thoughts of resistance retreated like the tide. His body immediately felt like a puddle of mud, unable to even stand steadily.
His brain went blank.
He couldn't hear anything except a buzzing sound in his ears.
It wasn't over.
The second punch, the third punch, followed in quick succession.
After a few punches, Kiyan completely lost the ability to resist, lost consciousness, and passed out.
Speaking of which, Kiyan was also unlucky.
Although he considered himself very cautious, unfortunately, he was facing a man who held the script.
He thought Lynn was completely unprepared.
But he never expected that while he was plotting against Lynn, Lynn was also plotting against him.
Lynn directly stepped on the other's neck, ruthlessly snapping it with force, ending his sinful life.
Looking at Kiyan, who had already lost his breath on the ground, Lynn looked around.
The substance Kiyan had deliberately put in the dinner earlier now unexpectedly helped Lynn a great deal.
Looking at Kiyan's corpse, Lynn felt no pity or sympathy whatsoever.
In the original storyline, apart from Professor Dijkstra, Kiyan directly killed everyone.
Even Professor Dijkstra, who had luckily survived at that time, didn't escape in the end and still died in the ruins.
If the Viper School also took assassination contracts but at least killed officials and nobles, then this Cat School, for money, could even kill ordinary people without hesitation, which was truly a bit...
Lynn carried Kiyan's body and walked outside.
He needed to dispose of this corpse.
To avoid being discovered.
The social status of witchers was already low enough.
He couldn't give people an even worse impression.
Lynn carried Kiyan's body all the way to a place far from the campsite.
Half an hour later, having washed off the bloodstains on his body, he returned to his tent in the campsite and lay down again.
...
"Master Lynn! Master! Something terrible has happened!"
Early the next morning, Professor Dijkstra's voice came from outside Lynn's tent.
Lynn finished his meditation, stood up from the ground, and, pretending to have just woken up, walked out of the tent.
Outside the tent, Professor Dijkstra and his students all had panicked expressions.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Lynn asked, feigning surprise.
Marco said tremblingly, "Master Kiyan, who was on night watch last night, is gone, Master Lynn. Did you hear anything unusual last night?"
Lynn immediately put on a "shocked" expression.
"What? How is that possible? Have you searched thoroughly?"
Misia explained, "We've looked everywhere, but we can't find him. There were only some footprints left outside the camp, perhaps left by Master Kiyan, so we hurried over to find you."
Although they had found the footprints, none of them dared to follow them rashly.
After all, if those footprints were really left by Kiyan, it meant that Kiyan had encountered danger.
Otherwise, he would have returned long ago.
What reassured the others was that after listening to Misia's words, Lynn didn't show any particular emotion, just nodded and said calmly.
"Hmm, take me over to take a look."
...
Lynn and the others arrived at the edge of the campsite.
In their sight, outside the campsite, there was indeed a string of footprints clearly extending outwards.
Professor Dijkstra and his group stood behind Lynn.
They looked at Lynn expectantly.
No one dared to speak.
They didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
It wasn't until Lynn had repeatedly observed the footprints for a long time that Professor Dijkstra couldn't help but speak.
"Master Lynn? Have you found anything?"
Lynn pretended to have really found something and said, "Hmm... it looks like he discovered something during his patrol, so he chose to leave the camp."
Professor Dijkstra scanned everyone present with a questioning gaze, finally looking at Lynn. "Then we..."
Lynn said expressionlessly, "We'll find out if we follow them."
