Chapter 58 The existence of legend
In an open space not far from the Magic Workshop, Geralt, who had just completed the enhancement ceremony, was familiar with the new power brought to him by the enhancement ceremony. His sudden increase in strength and his steeled body made him feel a little uncomfortable.
After completing the strengthening ceremony, Geralt deeply felt that the power that had originally increased to the limit due to physical fitness had broken through the bottleneck. Not only was it greatly enhanced, but it also seemed to have been upgraded to a new level. Even every breath could feel different.
He raised his fist and punched a big tree with a sudden punch. Geralt's fist passed through almost without any obstacles, leaving a hole in the trunk.
Looking at his fists and holes in the trunk, Geralt understood that this is not only the effect of strength improvement, but also the improvement of speed and overall overall quality. Before the strengthening ceremony, Geralt hits out with a bare hands and interrupts the tree with ease, but it is difficult to do it if he wants to make holes on the tree without hurting other parts of the trunk, because the strength is not concentrated enough and the speed is not fast enough.
However, after completing the strengthening ceremony, Geralt's almost random punch was able to hit a pair of piercing on the tree trunk. He did not even deliberately control his own strength, so he achieved such an effect. The sudden increase in power made Geralt quite uncomfortable.
In addition to the increase in strength, what Geralt felt uncomfortable with was his body that now exudes metallic texture and luster.
The strengthening ceremony not only enhanced his power, but also awakened the residual transformation of the divine power originating from Marron in his body, turning his body into a body of steel. Geralt even felt that the change was still continuing, and the power deep into his bloodline was constantly emanating, enhancing his body.
Looking at his palms that seemed to be cast in steel, constantly opening and holding them tightly. Looking at the lines and joints on his palms, Geralt's eyes were full of surprise. Although he had known the existence of the body of steel, after reawakening Maren, he had fantasized that he could also have a body of steel, but when the things he had dreamed of really becoming reality, he still felt a little unreal.
The two hands clenched their fists and collided, making the sound of metal hitting, which was also a novel experience for Geralt.
Looking at Geralt who was constantly trying various movements and familiar with his new body and strength, Eber, who was standing beside him, suddenly smiled and said to Geralt: "Captain Geralt, how does it feel for the new power? Are you still used to the iron body?"
"It may be difficult to adapt to it for a while, and the strength has increased too much." Faced with Eber's problem, Geralt shook his head with a wry smile. It may take some time to adapt to the changes in his body.
Hearing Geralt say this, Eber smiled and said to him: "It is normal for a short period of discomfort. After all, you are now promoted from a mortal to a legend, not only to increase your strength and gain a body of steel, but also to the entire life level. Compared with mortals, you are now an extraordinary existence."
"Legend? Superior? Mr. Abel, do you mean surpassing the limit of mortals?" Although Geralt didn't understand what Abel said, he still understood the meaning of legend and extraordinary. After all, in the past, all the warriors who obtained the body of steel in the Steel Leaf Tribe had reached the limit of mortals.
"Yes, the power that mortals can improve has limits, and the existence that breaks through the limit of life is called a legend." Abel nodded and explained to Geralt: "However, the method of breaking through the limit of life is not limited to the breakthrough of strength, physique, agility and even wisdom. As long as you can break through the limit of mortals on any one, you can be promoted to a legend and achieve the improvement of the overall life level."
"Although it has indeed improved a lot, I still didn't feel any difference." Hearing Eberl's explanation, Geralt tried to feel the so-called difference, but apart from feeling more sensitive and stronger, he did not feel any greater difference.
"The improvement of warriors comes more from the improvement of physical fitness and strength. After all, you are not a mage and cannot improve your awareness of the world. In addition, the improvement of life level is not a matter of a moment. You need a period of adaptation. However, if you want to know how much you have improved, finding someone to fight is the best way, Belfast!" With Eber's order, the silver-haired maid who was originally standing quietly beside him suddenly rushed and attacked Geralt.
Facing Belfast's sudden attack, Geralt originally felt that he would be in a hurry. After all, he had seen Belfast before, which was difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the speed of the naked eye, but at this time he was surprised to find that his eyes could keep up with Belfast's speed, and even his body could react. He raised his palm and took Belfast's sudden punch.
"This...me?" Originally, although he had achieved improvement in Geralt's judgment, being able to dodge this punch was already the limit. He did not expect that he could actually take over Belfast's attack, especially feeling the power of this punch from his palm. Geralt knew clearly that before he obtained the body of steel, this punch alone could break his hand bone.
Seeing Geralt take his punch, Belfast's mouth curled up. Unlike the smile of the perfect maid in the past, her face was known as excitement, and even her eyes lit up. This is not a description, but Belfast's eyes did emit a red light, and the head maid was really serious!
Instantly pulling back his fist, Belfast turned around and raised his legs. His slender legs in white stockings and black high heels made a sound like a sharp whip, and instantly kicked Geralt.
Faced with such a fierce attack, Geralt hurriedly crossed his hands in front of his chest, but it still made him feel like he was hit. He was kicked back suddenly, and his legs standing on the ground even left two scratches on the ground.
After putting down his hands, Geralt's eyes became sharp. Although he had already known that the maid next to Eber was very powerful, being kicked out by a woman still made Geralt feel dull on his face. Although he had not adapted to his newly acquired power, as Ebert said, if you want to know how much you have improved, you will know it in a fight!
Thinking of this, Geralt kicked his legs suddenly and launched an attack on Belfast.
Looking at Geralt rushing towards him, Belfast's smile even more. He took his long hair leisurely and then he raised his hand to block Geralt's fist. As she blocked the impact of the punch, the back of the Belfast maid's suit was completely exploded, and a red mark appeared under the artificial skin, emitting high temperature, and spraying a large amount of steam.
"We can finally fight well. The maid's work has accumulated a lot of pressure!" Facing Geralt's surprised gaze, his eyes seemed to be burning, and said with a smile.
