Chapter 195: Legend and Reality
However, the sorcerer finally restrained his impulse and did not really choose to escape on his own.
It's not that she really has a good relationship with Geralt, nor that she and Ciale hit it off at first sight, and would rather sacrifice their lives and take huge risks to protect that stinky girl.
King Radovid V of Redania launched a crazy persecution of the mage in the Northern Kingdom, and Emperor Nifgad, Nishir Enris, stood by and watched. Members of the Witch Hunter Organization and the knights of the Knights of the Flaming Rose, expanded the witch hunting operation, and countless innocent doctors, alchemists, herbalists and non-human races became victims.
——The members of the sorcerer club are all on their kill list.
So much so that Kaila was forced to fly away. She had always loved to live a luxurious life and hid in a remote place in the countryside to play the role of a village witch.
But she also knew that it was not a solution for her to hide. Willen is now sandwiched between the Southern Empire and the Northern Kingdom and has temporarily become a lawless place, but this situation will not continue. Radovid's hunting dog will find her sooner or later.
The sorcerer had really felt that he was desperate before, so he wanted to use plague research as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Radovid in exchange for the other party's exemption from his crimes and even return to his luxurious life in the past.
However, after being awakened by Geralt, she also knew how stupid her plan was, especially when she recalled what Cili had said before, the more she thought about it, the more she felt scared.
Maybe it wasn't a malicious slander, but a possible ending. Once she really went to find Radovid, she might be pierced by a pointed wooden stake and publicly executed and died in the square.
That kind of result is unimaginable.
Now Geralt has provided her with a third option, that is, Kelmohan, the base camp of the witcher, which will be a safe place and her last life-saving straw.
So she decided to stay and help the other party. She would never run away first when the situation was not good... Otherwise, she would not be able to go to Kelmohan, and that place would no longer be a safe choice for her.
Kaila also felt that she had had enough of it, and she lived like a mouse to hide and hide in Tibet.
Gripping her teeth, she untied the magic barrier and began to run towards the inland of the island with small steps.
Originally, she should have waited for her teammates to come back here and prepared her teleportation technique, but now it seems that if she continues to wait here and watch, she will not be sure whether her teammates can have the chance to come back.
...
...
The swamp wetland was frozen by frost and turned into a vast white area.
It is obviously only a thin layer, but the ice crystal seems to be the power of magic rather than natural evolution.
Whether it is a wild hunter or a human, it will not collapse when stepped on it. Only the heavy frost dragon can rage it into a mess. This giant is roaring wildly, moving its body, waving its claws, suddenly poking its head and biting it hard, spreading its jaw and spraying out a deadly dragon breath...
The surrounding trees broke and collapsed on the ground, and the thick trunks and dense branches and leaves crisscrossed, making the battlefield even more chaotic.
The tall wild hunters wearing rusty red armor and a skeleton mask like the god of death were holding weapons around the furious and crazy frost dragon, fighting fiercely.
Xiri, with gray-haired hair, was somewhat embarrassed and was held down by several wild hunters. She was not only monitoring her, controlling her freedom, but also protecting her safety, preventing the crazy frost dragon from rushing through the defense line to threaten her.
Xili's plan was very successful. The frost dragon was indeed aimed at her, so violent that it wanted to tear her apart. The wild hunters could not allow such a thing to happen at all. Naturally, they needed to protect the "Ancient Blood".
So both sides were forced into the battle... But it was better to say that the wild hunters were working hard and delaying time.
Because at first glance, this scene seemed like a hero team was preparing to stage a dragon-slaying battle... However, in fact, the wild hunting was unilaterally slaughtered by the frost dragon and had almost no power to fight back.
In this world, they are like myths and legends. People firmly believe that they are immortal demon spirits and knights composed of ghosts.
However, in fact, they are just elves from another world... In the elves ruins, the witch hunter and the sorcerer teamed up to kill them after a fierce battle. This is the essence of wild hunting.
They are neither immortal nor immortal. Their power is equally limited, and their life forms can still be understood. If they are killed... they will also die.
For example, at this moment, the frost dragon stretched out its huge and scary claws, like thunder and lightning, and directly grabbed the entire body of a wild hunter into the sharp claws.
Accompanied by a deafening dragon roar, there was also a terrifying howl. If it weren't for seeing it with your own eyes, people would never believe that the legendary wild hunter would make such a tragic wail.
And the howling sounded less than half a second and then it stopped suddenly, because the wild hunter who made the sound had turned into a pool of indescribable things.
The frost dragon suddenly shook its tail, and its heavy force swept the several wild hunters and horses charging behind it, throwing them away from a distance of twenty or thirty meters, falling heavily on the solid ice surface! Or breaking a tree and falling into the depths of the dense forest, without any sound!
There were also the last few wild hunting dogs, and the moment they were swept across the dragon's tail, their bodies were like ice sculptures, and ice crystals were scattered all over the ground, and they could not find a complete body part.
At this time, other wild hunters seized the opportunity and went up to draw weapons or cast spells, hitting the frost dragon hard.
——There is no need to aim at this extra step at all. Even if a blind man waves the weapon in his hand according to the direction of the sound or releases the prepared spell, he will basically not fail or be beaten wrongly.
Because the target's size is too large, the wild hunter's figure is often extremely tall, which is different from ordinary people. However, in front of the frost dragon, there is a huge difference between an insect like a mantis and a cat.
——But the most important thing is that the attacks failed to work!
Not only did the magic energy collapse and disappear without a trace. Even the swords of the wild hunting slashed on the dragon's body, everyone felt that the tiger's mouth was trembling, almost causing the weapon to escape.
They felt that their full-strength attack was like slashing a stubborn stone or iron.
And not only the body, but some people also chose to attack its more fragile cortical wings than the body covered by scales, but the results were the same.
Almost everyone was shocked at this moment, and some doubted whether there was something wrong with their eyes.
Although the dragon's scales are extremely strong and almost invulnerable, this is indeed their racial characteristic, but it should not be so perverted.
Even if the giant dragon in front of me is nearly twenty meters long, it is obviously a dragon that has lived for a long time - because as we grow older, the dragon's scales will naturally become thicker and harder, thus giving the dragon stronger protection.
But it should not be so. If they can have invincible defense, they will not be extinct frequently.
Normally, the dragon's scales should not be so hard, and they will not have complete saving throws to magic. They may greatly weaken the damage caused by elements such as flame, frost, lightning, etc., but they cannot be completely tolerated.
Moreover, the muscle tissue under the protection of scales is also fragile, not to mention the dragon wings without scale coverage, which should be the weakness of the dragon!
But no matter how shocked they were or how they didn't believe this scene, they couldn't change this fact.
It seems that it is not just a problem with the dragon scales, but also the layer of white frost covered on the dragon's body. This terrible power, combined with some unknown technique, strengthened the dragon's defense to an unimaginable level.
The next moment, the giant creature had opened its bloody mouth and suddenly a mouthful of white cold air spurted out!
It seemed like the sound of crisp glass shattering, and it seemed like the feeling of ice cracking. A vast ice road with biting chill spread straight ahead, sank into the depths of the swamped forest. All the wild hunting on this ice road turned into ice sculptures.
They lost all their vitality, their bodies were covered with a layer of frost, frozen in place without moving, maintaining their movements and expressions at the last moment of their lives.
If this continues, this team will be completely destroyed.
However, the wild hunters were unable to open the portal as planned. The frost dragon seemed to be raging everywhere in a furious and crazy manner, but it also killed all the warlocks in the wild hunting team very targetedly.
Once there is a magic fluctuation, once the teleportation technique is ready to be activated, it will immediately launch a stormy attack on that direction until the magic source is eliminated.
Because the dragon, like a cat, is the only two creatures on this planet that can naturally sense magic. The Frost Dragon inherits this racial characteristic well and magnifies it infinitely. It is impossible to teleport and escape openly in front of it!
At this time, a figure with a taller and stronger figure than other wild hunters brutally pushed away the subordinate who was blocking him, and scolded something angrily.
Then, this figure who should be the wild hunting leader of this team, pulled out his weapon facing the frost dragon in front of him.
At this time, the giant figure bit off an enemy's upper body in one bite, and then turned around the huge lizard-like head. The figure of the wild hunting leader reflected in the fierce and huge vertical pupils.
Immediately afterwards, it seemed as if a shocking showdown was about to break out-
The next moment, the wild hunting leader roared and ran with big strides. He was covered in heavy rust red armor and shook the ground, shaking the air, causing heavy wailing sounds on the ice surface under his feet.
The rusty protective surface was on the skeleton-like mask, and the eyes behind it flashed a cold and decisive cruel cold light, as if light blue flames were burning!
The powerful warrior swept across the distance from the enemy like a ghost. The wide sword body he held in his high raised his hands reflected a cold and cold light, which seemed to reflect the moonlight in the sky and the flash of ice crystals on the surrounding ice.
Xiri also stared at this scene in a daze, but in a subconscious blink, she saw the figure of the wild hunting leader jumping high!
Even in the face of the legendary species, he raised his sword without fear and tried his best to slash the frost dragon forward, just like a dragon-slaying warrior in the myth!
The awesome figure even reveals the beauty of violence and ostentatiousness, as if it was a famous painting that was stunning throughout the ages, forever frozen at this historical node!
——Then, the giant dragon on the opposite side also roared and stretched out its sharp claws, and the huge wings behind it suddenly stretched out to swallow everything!
A black figure fell down with a bang, blood raging on the mud covered with frost, leaving only a pair of big feet in armored clothes that were spasming strangely.
With one claw, he killed a tiny reptile who was overestimating his ability. The frost dragon once again locked his target, roaring and tearing the atmosphere apart, and roaring towards Cili like a dragon car!
...
...
"Geralt?! Are you okay?"
Kaila was careful and walked into the calming swamp forest like walking on thin ice.
She finally found the unconscious witch hunter.
