章 764: Wartime, yet again.

Geralt looks up at the huge masses of monsters and sighs, "Ever thought you'd see anything like this?" he asks Vesemir who's standing with his weapon drawn next to him.

He shakes his head, "No... I thought I'd gotten my life-times excitement fighting the Hunt, but apparently not. Let's just makesure we all get through this alive, okay?" he says.

*BZZZZZZOOOOOOOOWMM!*

A purple shield begins slowly materialises from the top of Kaer Morhen, the sphere slowing coming into existence and wrapping around the entire city of Ichor. It doesn't impede the arrows firing out of it at the vampires, nor does it stop their corpses from falling through.

Yennefer breaths a sigh, "That should hold off the weaker ones."

Logan "My apologies, but what function does this shield even have?"

Yennefer "It'll force the weaker monsters from entering the city, stopping out forces inside from being overwhelmed."

Keira nods, "It's going to take a lot of power to maintain with this amount of enemies, even with the ambient magic at our disposal... It should hold with all of us here, but for how long is anyone guess."

Ciri had been tapping her foot impatiently as she waited atop the Jolly Cooperation statue for the enemy to finally arrive. Flashes of lightning occur above her as Solaire ravages through the black clouds, piercing them and then casting Gods Wrath to utterly annihilate them.

She could spot Reima talking with Regis, and afterwards he was enveloped in that golden aura and shot into the sky like a rocket, passing by a group of monsters and like a flame thrower, sprays them in dark red flames that reduce most to dust in seconds.

Ciri "Bugger this, I'm not waiting any longer." she mutters, jumping off of the statue and transforming into her "Limbless" form, most were already away of it, so a massive eastern dragon appearing above the city was only a minor surprise...

The air whips up around her like a mini-tornado as she shoots towards the nearest black cloud, like a spear she continues flying, impacting and continuing through it while the wind around her tears apart the weaker vampires. She receives a few minor scratches from the Higher Vampire's but nothing major...

*Flash*

Her massive body disappears and reappears next to another group, a glowing turquoise ball manifesting in her mouth... It shoots out, the space around it trembling as it flashes in between the group...

No sound is given off as it implodes, the only thing audible beings the terrified screeches of the vampires caught in its gravitational pull.

*CRUSH!*

Blood splatters from the ball before being pulled back in, as the bodies are mashed together and compressed.

*Puchii*

Ciri winces as she feels something pierce her side, looking down and spotting a large fleshy creature with huge claws, it was reminiscent of Dettlaff's true form back in Toussaint, but slightly different.

She quickly flies around, swinging her snake-like body to try and dislodge the vampire from her, to no avail. She's about to bend over and bite the thing in half when someone comes to her rescue...

A green dragon swoops by and swings a claw at the vampire, cutting it in two and causing it to fall towards the city below.

Ciri "Thanks, Saskia." she says in her peculiar draconic voice.

Saskia herself just nods before flying back down towards Iorveth in-order fight off the enemies who're just beginning to land and fight the ground forces.

Arie glares at a charging Katakan, the beast turning invisible as it approaches... "I fucking hate Vampires!" he shouts, throwing a Moon Dust bomb which explodes and covers the area in silver shards...

Arie looks around and goes pale... It wasn't just one Katakan that was now visible, it was five. "Oh, shi-" he's cut off as one swings its claws at him, causing him to rolls backwards to avoid it.

Once back upright he isn't given any rest, having to use his silver arm to block a claw heading right for his face, the force of the blow throwing him a couple of meters away.

Arie "Er, guys? Any help?" he calls to the nearby Witchers.

Lambert had just cut an arm off of a Bruxa but was immediately attacked by another, "No can do!"

Arie ducks under a swipe and cuts at the Katakan's side as he sidesteps, the silver of his blade slowing the regeneration of the beast.

*BANG!*

He's suddenly leapt upon by the Katakan, his sword locked against the ground by its claw... It roars at it, covering his face in saliva as it holds him down, rearing back slightly to take a good bite out of him.

Arie "G-get off of me you fucki-"

*CRASH!*

The Katakan's head disappears from its body, an explosion occurring behind it nearby... Arie quickly throws the beast off of himself and looks towards the newly formed creator, a spear-like arrow sticking from it... He glances towards Kaer Morhen where Priscilla is and nods at her before continuing his fight.

Eskel wasn't doing any better than Arie was, a couple Alp's were working in tandom to fight him... The grusome looking women dance and dodge to avoid his blade, occasionally trying to cut at one of his vitals with their claws...

He throws his hand forwards and casts Igni, showering them both in flames and allowing him to run one through with his blade while they're distracted.

His blade easily passes through its heart, killing it as the other delivers the Alp's trademark shriek at him, it shocks his senses and disorients him, putting him on the defensive as he waits for its effects to wear off.

The Alp leaps in the air and dives down at him but Eskel manages to avoid it by striking at it mid-air, forcing it away.

He fingers a bomb on his belt and tosses it at them, while the vampire tries to recover...

*Bang!*

It explodes, tearing the legs from the monsters and allowing Eskel to subdue it... Once done he runs over to Arie to help him deal with the group of Katakan that's causing him trouble.
