The departure of the Black Hawk shadow guard did not make Wigfortz care half a minute.He just poured a ball of flame from his left hand to his right hand, and said calmly:

"You can hide for a while, but you can't hide for a lifetime. You will face death after all. And I am the messenger of death!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a "boom", and a huge burning fireball shot towards Lu Qi.

Lu Qi did not choose to dodge, but turned the blade in his hand, and took the initiative to meet the fireball.

In an instant, a bright light flashed across the magic runes on the sword body:

"Break it for me!"

With a low growl, the Sword of the Lady of the Lake played the role of breaking the magic, and a sword directly split the fireball in two!

Immediately afterwards, Lu Qi kicked his feet suddenly, and his whole body was like a swift and fierce cheetah, attacking Vigfortz.

"Amazing! But, so what about this move!"

The next second, the wizard raised his hand and swung it, a blue lightning shot out suddenly, with a "pop", Lu Qi was blown away by the lightning.

Adjusting his body shape slightly in the air, when Lu Qi landed on the ground, he took several steps back and stopped the huge impact of lightning.

"Alix, are you alright?"

Looking down at the flashing lake girl's sword, Lu Qi nodded slightly, and said casually: "It's nothing, it's just a trivial matter."

I saw Yennefer flying his hands, chanting a spell, and quickly formed an arc-shaped magic shield in front of himself and Geralt.

Immediately afterwards, he pushed his palms forward, and a purple lightning shot out!

However, the lightning hit the magic shield in front of Vigfortez, like a stone sinking into the sea, without any response.

"Oh, do you think magic can do me any harm?"

While speaking, Lu Qi, who held the sword in his right hand, raised his left hand slightly, and a leaping flame spontaneously arose:

"If you don't try, how do you know?!"

Chapter 6 Facing the fear in my heart【Please subscribe and ask for a monthly ticket】

From somewhere above the castle there was the sound of violent fighting, someone shouting and screaming, and then a cry of pain.

The strong smell of burnt and smoke kept getting into his nostrils, making Ciri frown.

Knowing Geralt's arrival from the mouth of the vampire, the girl's hesitation felt somewhat comforted.

After all, in the most critical moment, that man who is like a father is still by his side

However, her mother-like woman was imprisoned in an unknown part of the castle, and she was crying for help helplessly, hoping that someone could come to rescue her.

And that person, Ciri hopes to be herself

There was a loud "bang", an explosion occurred somewhere, the roof supported by the pillars also began to tremble, and the plaster on the wall fell like raindrops.

Ciri cautiously poked his head out from the corner, and after confirming that the corridor was empty, he stepped out quickly and silently.

On the floor of the corridor, there were bloodstains and dead bodies, but none of these caught her attention.

The internal structure of the castle is like a maze.

Soon, Shirley found himself lost and couldn't find anyone, so he could only choose the last resort:

"Lady Yennefer!"

The shout spread, but there was no response.

In desperation, she had no choice but to grit her teeth, pull out the long sword on her back, and get ready to meet the enemy, shouting again:

"Yennefer!!!"

This time, she heard some movement, a voice that seemed to respond.

She immediately ran into a gallery, then turned into a hall with tall columns.

At this moment, the sudden change occurred!

Bonnet emerged from behind the column like a ghost, and punched her in the face, knocking her out of the way.

Seeing Ciri struggling to stand up with her hands on the ground, the tall and thin Bonnet did not choose to pursue the victory.

"If you hadn't yelled, I wouldn't have been able to find you." The hoarse and disgusting voice echoed in the girl's ears: "Your voice is full of longing, dear, is that why you want to see me?"

Hearing this, Shirley just tightened the long sword in his hand, without saying a word, staring at the enemy in front of him who had given him a lot of pain and humiliation.

She immediately recalled the scene of encountering Bonnet in the Village of Jealous Fire:

At that time, the whole rat gang, except her, was brutally killed by this damn bounty hunter

Bonnet seemed to like the stubbornness and fear in Ciri's eyes, as well as the slightly trembling hands.He opened his arms suddenly, and said with a frenzied expression:

"bring it on!"

"Here as the curtain call of your wonderful performance, I have prepared the last opponent for you, the witcher and the bounty hunter Leo Bonnet! Oh, there is no doubt that this fight will definitely have a lot of people paying for it watch!

All of a sudden, in Shirley's mind, the painful experience he had in the arena once appeared.

"Run away! Run away to another place, another time, far away from him!"

As soon as the thought came up, the girl felt ashamed.

"Run like this, leaving Geralt and Yennefer to fend for themselves? How could I!"

However, reason told her that even if she died, she would not be able to help them.

In the end, she was still overwhelmed by the fear in her heart, and began to concentrate, trying to break through the strange magic power everywhere in the castle, and teleport herself to a place far away from Bonnet.

Looking at Ciri, Bonnet immediately understood, and ran towards her!

Just at the critical moment, Ciri's special ability played a role.

A flash of light flashed by, and Shirley disappeared in place!

I did it!

When she opened her eyes and saw the surrounding environment clearly, she immediately realized that she seemed to be complacent too early.

Perhaps it was because of the magic restriction set up in the castle that her ability was only a little bit used, and she was only teleported to the other end of the corridor.

However, this teleportation still had an effect, at least temporarily keeping her away from the guy who frightened her.

Under Bonnet's roar, Ciri stepped forward without hesitation and started to run away!

. . .

Running along the long and wide corridor, Ciri didn't dare to slow down at all.

However, she bumped around like a headless chicken, and was finally blocked by fate.

At the end of the corridor, there is a dead end.

The sea breeze blows from the gap, and in front of it is the cliff leading to the outside of the castle.

The floor has collapsed, leaving only the basic structure—pillars, planks, and beams.

That means she has nowhere to run

"Here is the end"

Turning around, she saw Bonnet walking this way, holding a sharp sword with a cold light.

And on both sides of the corridor, those marble female statues were staring at the two destined to confront each other with lifeless eyes.

At this moment, Shirley finally understood that he could not escape.

She had to face him, the embodiment of her inner fear, and she had no choice!

Gritting her teeth fiercely, the determined girl tightly held the "Swift" in her hands, trying to cheer up her courage by growling:

"Come on then!"

Before it was too late, Shirley turned the long sword in his hand, took a stance, and started circling around Bonnet's body, moving faster and faster, trying to force the bounty hunter to keep turning around in place to expose possible openings.

"Last time, this trick was useless to me. Haven't you learned your lesson?"

Without answering the other party's question, Ciri swung the sword with both hands gently and smoothly, trying to make Bonnet lose his sense of direction.

However, this trick seems to have been seen through by experienced bounty hunters.

There was only a sound of "clang", and the two long swords touched each other quickly, and then they separated immediately.

"I'm tired of your little tricks!"

As soon as the words fell, Bonnet jumped forward and swept the long sword in his hand.The girl didn't confront him head-on, but chose to bend down, move her feet lightly, bypass her, and then thrust out a sword!

Bonnet raised his sword to block it, and then used his inertia to swing his sword.

On the side of his body, after dodging the blade by a slight margin, Ciri immediately launched a counterattack on the spot, stabbing the opponent continuously with the long sword.

But the bounty hunter, who had been prepared for a long time, responded with a false move, which directly made Shirley's swift and fierce offensive come to nothing.

Although she jumped up and avoided at the nick of time.But Bonnet's sword still brushed lightly across her shoulder, leaving a trace of pain.

After quickly opening the distance, she couldn't help but look down at the conspicuous wound on her left shoulder.

The warm and moist blood flowed down the arm, onto the hand, and finally dripped to the ground with a "pat" and "pat".

"The first drop of blood belongs to you. Then, whose blood will the second drop belong to?"

Chapter 6 and Three: Ciri's Metamorphosis

Rumble

Bursts of thunder and explosions came from somewhere in the castle from time to time, making people feel frightened.

Throughout the castle, black-clothed Black Eagle shadow guards, led by a bald man, killed the gray owl's mercenaries to the brim.

However, their purpose was not to kill the enemies in the castle, but to find Ciri.

But apart from the marble statues on both sides of the corridor, no one knows that in this hidden corridor, their target is staging a desperate confrontation with their own fear

Dangdang Dangdang!

The sound of gold and iron clashing filled the corridor where the ground had collapsed.

Knowing the strength of the bounty hunter very well, Ciri, who dreamed of killing him even in his dreams, summed up his previous experience and did not confront him head-on. Youdou.

It is precisely because of the narrow and dangerous environment that the bounty hunter has to pay attention to where his feet are, so that Ciri can fight with Bonnet, who is stronger than himself.

Even, for the first time, Bonnet was hurt

Looking at a sword mark on his left arm, Bonnet raised his left hand and found a bright red line of blood flowing down slowly.

"Oh, not bad, you finally learned your lesson and started to grow."

Although Bonnet's voice was trembling slightly with rage.But Ciri knew him too well, and Bonnet was calm and focused, ready to kill.

Suddenly, he jumped onto the same beam as Ciri, turned the blade in his hand, and attacked the girl like a storm.

He was so confident that he didn't even look down, letting the beams creak and dust spilled down.

The bounty hunter had a ferocious face and continued to attack, forcing her to keep retreating.

The attack was swift and relentless, and Ciri couldn't jump up or spin to dodge it, so he could only try to block it, or dodge backwards.

While waving the long sword, he did not forget to use words to disturb the girl's mind:

"This is your end, my princess!"

"After killing you, I will kill your sorceress and the witcher who came to save her!"

"And you can't do anything!"

Ciri could see from those dead fish eyes, that Bonnet was going to drive her to the edge of a cliff, and then

Suddenly, she suddenly realized that she should do something.

For myself, for Yennefer, and for Geralt!

Geralt

In an instant, the picture in her mind returned to the past, back to the time when she was in Kaer Morhen, fighting wits and courage with the pendulum on the edge of the cliff.

And the teaching of the white-haired witcher clearly echoed in his ears:

"What you have to do is not to fend off the pendulum, but to fend yourself. You have to use its power to attack. Understand?"
