The Witcher: Darkness Falls

Before the people of Beauclair could stop celebrating, they looked up and saw a dark cloud floating over from the swamp.

However, when they looked closely, they were shocked to find that it was not a dark cloud, but a huge black dragon.

The black dragon flapped its wings and flew over the lake.

The wind created by the flapping of its wings pushed the lake water in all directions.

The boat that was still on the lake swayed from side to side, and the captain screamed in fear.

"Row! Quick!"

"Run!"

"Help! Dragon! Evil dragon!"

……

The passengers on the boat were screaming in fear, and some of those who knew how to swim had already abandoned the boat and jumped into the river.

hold head high--

The next moment, the black dragon swooped down, opened its bloody mouth, and spewed out a series of scarlet dragon flames.

In an instant, all the boats on the lake were set on fire, and those who did not have time to jump off the boat were engulfed by flames.

Those who were lucky enough to survive had their skin and flesh burned by the scorching flames. They howled in pain and waited for death.

The giant dragon flapped its wings, raised its head high, and flew high into the sky again, then flew towards the port of Beauclair.

"Goddess Meliteli, dragon! Dragon attacks!" The people at the port came to their senses, screaming in fear and ran towards the city.

Then, more and more people screamed in fear and ran away in all directions.

At this moment, not only the people in the port, but also the people in the city of Beauclair were terrified and fled.

In just a few seconds, the people of Beauclair fell into endless panic.

The black dragon came to the port, opened its mouth wide, and dragon fire poured down, instantly igniting these ancient buildings.

With the roar of dragons, the port of Beauclair turned into a sea of ​​fire!

Accompanied by the wind from the port, the fire quickly spread towards the city center.

The black dragon roared and circled above the city, as if it was accumulating strength.

"Oh my god! The dragon is attacking! Someone come and save us!"

"Mommy mommy!"

"Damn dragon, where are the knights who are defending Beauclair? Where are they?!"

"My child! My child!"

"Help!"

……

There was a wailing in the main city of Beauclair. Although the main buildings in the city were made of stone, they were decorated with lights and decorations for May Day, and these decorations would catch fire if exposed to fire.

Due to the elves' unique architectural skills, although the entire city is densely packed with buildings, it is well ventilated, which caused the flames to quickly spread into the residents' rooms.

Those who were still trying to hide in the room were immediately suffocated and fainted. Some escaped in a panic and were engulfed by flames.

Now, the entire main city of Beauclair is also engulfed in flames.

"Dragon! How could there be an evil dragon in Beauclair?" On top of Beauclair Castle, Duke Gaitan's legs went weak when he saw a black dragon hovering over the main city, occasionally breathing fire.

He was angry, but more than that, he was terrified.

He had heard rumors about giant dragons in fairy tales when he was a child. These dragons were evil and liked to capture virgins and collect gold, silver and jewelry.

But in the end, these evil dragons will be killed by a dragon slayer.

But now, the dragon is right before his eyes. Although Gaitan knows that those fairy tales are made up, he still curses those who made up such stories.

Who could possibly kill a monster like this? Just looking at it from a distance made one's legs go numb.

But at the same time, he was longing for the dragon slayer to appear, but he knew that this was simply impossible.

"Who of you will go... kill it?" Gaitan pointed at the black dragon hovering in the sky in the distance with trembling hands. He felt that what he said was a stupid thing.

The group of wandering knights and bounty hunters behind him were silent, and their numbers had been reduced by more than half.

Obviously, those have all run away.

"Oh my gosh!" At this moment, a wandering knight stood up.

"I'll go too!" Another wandering knight stood up beside him.

Then, all the wandering knights stood up.

The leader saluted Duke Gaitan and said, "Thank you for your hospitality during this period of time, Your Excellency the Duke. For the honor of the knights, we will kill the evil dragon!"

After saying this, under the shocked gazes of Gaitan and the other bounty hunters, the knights put on their helmets, turned around and left the palace.

Afterwards, a team of seventeen wandering knights rode their horses and rushed towards the main city of Beauclair without hesitation.

Looking at the wandering knight going away, Duke Gaitan suddenly remembered something.

"Where is the witcher? And where are Yennefer and Fringilla? Where are they?" he asked hurriedly.

"I guess he has already run away! In front of the dragon, the witcher is like an ant. And what kind of magic can defeat the dragon?"

Some bounty hunters began to murmur.

"Damn it! Damn it!" Duke Gaitan cursed, beating the railing.

At this moment, a ray of light shot up into the sky from the tall tower by the lake, causing the universe to shake.

The next moment, thunder roared in the clear sky.

Afterwards, dark clouds quickly gathered over the main city of Beauclair, accompanied by lightning and thunder, and soon heavy rain began to fall.

Although the fire was still burning in the city, the fire had been contained, and at this rate, it was only a matter of time before the fire was extinguished by rain.

The people who were wailing in the city suddenly became excited when they saw the dark clouds gathering overhead and the heavy rain.

However, before they could be happy for long, the black dragon suddenly roared and flapped its wings to fly above the dark clouds.

It spewed flames in an attempt to disperse the dark clouds.

"If I don't get rid of this black dragon or lure it away, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for much longer!" Fringilla said worriedly in the tower.

The dark clouds in the sky were summoned by her. This was weather magic. Even if cast by a high-level wizard, it would not last too long. After all, the energy consumption of such a large-scale magic as weather magic was too horrible.

She was able to cast the spell immediately because there was a wizard tower here, and inside the tower was an auxiliary magic circle engraved by her.

In addition, there are magic crystals she stored here, which can provide a continuous supply of magical support.

Moreover, Ciri's return a few minutes earlier to report the news also played a crucial role, giving her and Yennefer time to prepare.

However, the continuous use of large-scale weather magic would consume terrifying amounts of magic power. If the root of the problem was not resolved, the people of Beauclair would still not be able to escape death.

"Can't it be killed without magic attack? Repelling it is also possible." Xirui frowned and said as she looked at the black dragon shuttling through the dark clouds.

Yennefer shook her head and said, "No, it's too big. We need to prepare magic that can kill it, and we don't have enough time now.

What's more, it is dead itself, it is a summoned undead spirit!"

Yennefer was well versed in black magic, and she could tell at a glance that the black dragon was not a living creature, but a dead one.

She recalled the first time she saw the three jackdaws. It seemed that the golden dragon was only half the size of the black dragon in front of her.

The person who could summon such a huge black dragon and cast black magic must be far more powerful than them, which was also what she was worried about.

"Oh no, it's coming this way!" Fringilla suddenly shouted.

The black dragon seemed to have figured out that the dark clouds in the sky were the work of the Mage Tower, so it immediately gave up on the dark clouds and rushed towards the Mage Tower.
