our family is gone

Chapter 255
Geralt rushed over with his long sword in hand, and the bald wizard of course noticed that although he was not afraid, he was still very energetic.

When Geralt looked at him, he immediately abandoned his original target Tamara, and turned his attention to the master witcher who had been following him for so long.

He grabbed the triangular pendant on his chest with one hand, and continued to murmur incomprehensible words, and his eyes turned dark in the next second.

At the same time, an inexplicable power descended from the void following his display, and the already dim environment around him became even darker. As for the bald wizard, he disappeared into the darkness.

After losing his target, Geralt didn't dare to attack rashly for a while, so he could only stop and look around at the deep darkness around him.

Tamara originally wanted to run away, but she has always been very courageous. If she can use this melee to confuse her tracks, it seems that she can cut off the "tail" that cannot be shaken off.

In fact, the bigger reason was that she knew that this master demon hunter who wandered around the mainland hunting monsters could be driven by money and had a good reputation.

Not to mention that he is strong enough to deal with that wizard, but he needs a little help now.

But the crystal ball in her hand emitted a strange light, and the position of the bald wizard was projected on it.

"He is here, don't give him time to prepare the ceremony."

Tracing and manifesting, this is very simple for Tamara who is good at divination and prophecy.

Geralt did not hesitate to follow the guidance and rushed up with the sword. Although he was not sure whether the guidance was correct, it was stupid and crazy for a wizard to prepare for an unknown strange ritual.

The wizard also realized that his position was exposed, and the half-prepared ceremony could only be performed hastily.

Strange symbols appeared from the air, and an indescribable evil force descended. Geralt felt something staring at him, trying to corrode his body. Fortunately, the witcher's special physique resisted it. Of course, it is also possible that the wizard's ceremony was interrupted.

"Damn it!" The bald wizard could naturally feel the failure of the secret technique, so he couldn't help but look at Tamara on the other side, with a grim expression on his face, and the ritual material turned into dust and scattered from his fingers under the force in his hand.

But Tamara was pleased with his reaction, with a weird smile on her face, and even a sarcasm.

"You should regret messing with a Roma..."

It's just that the battle is still going on. After the location was exposed, facing the rushing demon hunter, the wizard didn't dare to spend time performing complicated rituals. Instead, he raised the bone furnace and pushed it, and a strong black breath spewed out from the beast's mouth.

Geralt didn't stop for a moment, raised his hand and made a seal, muttering something, and the next second, a strong spiritual fluctuation erupted under his thoughts.

Against the backdrop of the black mist, one could see a clear fan-shaped shock wave directly dispersing the black mist, and even the bald wizard hiding behind took a few steps back as if he had been hit hard.

As an experienced demon hunter, Geralt would not let go of any opportunity, and immediately rushed forward, waving the long sword in his hand.

The wizard looked thin and weak, and he didn't have a weapon in his hand to resist, but after inhaling the light blue mist rising from the bone furnace, his movements became more dexterous in an instant, and he dodged directly to avoid the attack range of the long sword .

Most of the means of a wizard are based on spells and props. If someone gets close to him, the threat he faces is too great.

Thinking of this bald wizard made me a little impatient. If the ceremony was successful just now, it wouldn't be so difficult, but now I can only use consumables.

Stretching out his hand to fumble in his pocket, he turned around and spilled the contents at Geralt who was chasing him.

The experienced Geralt has always noticed his small movements. Facing the unknown objects splashed in the area, he put his hand back in front of him again and made another gesture.

The powder seemed to hit a wall of air, but this did not prevent further reactions, and a strong flash erupted the moment the powder touched it.

In the dark, the flashes would become extraordinarily dazzling, even stinging. Even Geralt couldn't help but close his eyes. Fortunately, the shield successfully stopped the flashing powder from getting closer and causing more damage.

In the next second, the shield shattered and dissipated in the air, and the powder that had adhered to it and turned black fell down.

As for the bald-headed wizard, he also took the opportunity to open the distance again, but his figure was gradually swallowed up by the darkness, and finally he could be seen pouring something into the mouth of the bone furnace.

Seeing this situation, Geralt could only rush up and not give the wizard time. This is the consensus of all extraordinary people...

Tamara was also just recovering from that flash, and she was also implicated, but fortunately there was nothing major.

In contrast, the method revealed by the two of them in the battle just now lifted her spirits. [Sign] is one of the important manifestations of a demon hunter's combat ability.

The first type of sign that disperses the black mist and repells the wizard at the same time should be the sign of Alder, which can form a shock wave that can knock enemies into the air and destroy relatively fragile obstacles.

The second type of seal to resist the flash powder should be the seal of Kunen, and its specific function is to form a temporary shield to resist physical attacks.

She had only heard of it before, but now she has really seen it.

The wizard used too many dark means, and Tamara knew that she needed the help of the battle nun to break the environment.

It was only when she turned her attention that the nun seemed to be in some trouble.

Because the guy named Catherine doesn't engage in confrontation at all, and she also has some disgusting props in her hands, which annoys the nun.

Tamara knew a little about the clergy of the church. She could feel the oppression of the nun's environment. Unfortunately, she knew how to help them.

Tamara gave up protecting herself, and also locked her own carriage and took the initiative to come out and walk towards the nun.

In addition to the crystal ball in her hand, there is also a special wooden torch with an iron ring that is lit, and the darkness retreats wherever she goes.

This thing is one of her collections. I heard that the iron ring is wrapped in holy oil blessed by a certain saint.

"The power of the Holy Flame is flowing!"

The nun felt something and couldn't help but look at the fire, and then Tamara holding the torch.

Teammates, though only temporarily.

The appearance of the flame also dispelled the suppression on the field, allowing the nun to regain the power to cast divine spells. She raised the mace and yelled at Catherine.

"Be judged!"

A ray of light shot out from the mace, and fell directly on Catherine's head without waiting for a second of reaction.

The originally flexible body stopped suddenly, and the whole person seemed to be stunned stupidly, as if the soul was destroyed by this blow, but the nun was blessed by the magic and recovered.

At the same time, the steady burning torch in Tamara's hand was like a match that had just been lit, and the brightness of the fireworks rose by [-]% in an instant. The light that radiated seemed to have some kind of divine power to disperse the darkness further away.

It's just that Tamara was affected by the turbulent spirituality, and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

The nun originally planned to take the opportunity to go up and finish Catherine with a hammer, but after noticing Tamara's situation, she put down the mace and raised the law code for the time being, muttering about performing divine spells.

Even a ray of compassion is rare in the heat of battle.

Tamara could feel a force springing up to stabilize the wounded body for a while, and she could recognize that it was this force that gave the Church its transcendent status.

"Thank you..." Tamara, like most Transcendents, kept her distance from the Church, but it was undeniable that this power was indeed miraculous.

"Even here, the holy light will shine on us." The nun's attitude did not show hostility, but encouraged her. It seems that she is not one of the more extreme priests.

It was just at this time that Catherine finally got rid of the influence of the magic spell, and she didn't seem to be feeling well.

Facing a severely suppressed nun is so embarrassing, and now that the restrictions have been lifted, there is an additional enemy, and she knows that she can't beat it without even thinking about it.

Originally, she didn't like the bald wizard's order, but now she resisted even more, and she didn't intend to continue at all, so she turned her head and ran towards the master.

She couldn't run away directly, because she knew that the master's real power was far more than that, and her own life was also limited by his hands. If she ran away directly, she might die instantly.

Seeing this, the two nuns hurried to catch up...

To be honest, Geralt doesn't like hunting wizards, or most extraordinary people don't like to provoke tricky enemies like wizards, because no one knows how impressive the combat power is in exchange for rich knowledge. The longer the wizard's strength is, the more terrifying it will be.

It's just that in his long career, he still has his own understanding of this kind of enemy. More directly, the reward money offered by Totnes is really too much.

Facing the harassment of the bald wizard with various small props, Geralt still waved his long sword with a cold face, and from time to time he used spells to link up, either to attack or defend.

It seemed that he was at a disadvantage in the battle, but in fact it was firmly in Geralt's hands.

In his long career, he has had two kinds of experience in facing wizards, one is a sudden attack to force him into the past and kill him.

If the nun could have waited for her to enter the arena earlier, it might have been possible, but it was a pity that the wizard had warned her in advance.

The second is naturally the current situation. If the other party is prepared, they can only grind slowly and deceive the other party's methods.

Anyway, for wizards, it is very difficult to restore spirituality as the more you use it, the less you pay attention, the spiritual restlessness, and the recovery ability brought by your witcher physique can fully withstand the consumption of the body.

If you push too fast at the beginning, it will be easy to go all out, which is why he doesn't rush to chase and kill, but hangs on and consumes the opponent.

A seasoned witcher is never impatient, because those who are impatient are dead.

And just as he and the wizard were consuming each other, the commotion on the other side suddenly broke the rhythm he had mastered.

Seeing the woman rushing towards him, Geralt took the initiative to keep a safe distance out of caution, and Catherine took the opportunity to run behind the bald wizard.

"waste!"

When the bald wizard saw Catherine leading them over, he immediately felt difficult, but he also knew that it was impossible for him as a servant to entangle them.

The nun and Tamara came, and there was a confrontation between the two sides. For a while, the four sides intersected and watched the scuffle resume.

Three-on-two, one side has the front row, healers and assistants, but on the other hand, the head wizard has only one useless servant, who can't even resist damage.

It has to be said that the bald wizard fell into short-term regret at this time, and he shouldn't have been greedy just now...

And at this moment, a series of hurried hoofbeats sounded on the old road in the middle of the night.

At this moment, all the people on the scene became nervous, wondering if the visitor was an enemy or a friend?
Being able to hear the sound proved that it was not far away, and soon everyone saw a galloping horse. They couldn't see the situation clearly in the dark night, but they seemed to be able to feel the sharp eyes sweeping past.

The person who came was Disma, who was sent by Lance to deliver the letter before. He also found that there was a group of people in front of him who didn't know what they were doing.

"Stop! There are traps on the road!" Seeing the approaching horse, Geralt reacted and shouted loudly.

But Tamara naturally knew it, but she looked at it coldly. It would be a good thing for her if someone helped her flush out the trap...

Of course Disma heard the shouts in front of him, but don't forget what he came out for, and he was afraid of cultists blocking the way along the way.

Hearing this now, he immediately thought of the lord's reminder. Instead of having the slightest intention to stop the horses, he had already drawn out a musket in his hand as a warning.

No matter whether these people are members of the cult or not, they can't stop him!

If it was really that simple, he would have rushed over, but the problem was that there were really traps set by wizards on the road.

The fast horse passed by as if it touched something, but in an instant, Disma felt that something was wrong. His years of experience in gangsters gave him an impulse like inspiration, and he decisively abandoned the horse and jumped out and rolled on the ground a few times.

But when he stood up in embarrassment, he found that the horse under his crotch had been killed by a force just now. There was no external injury, but it fell straight on the ground, as if it had been dead for a long time.

This situation made Disma's already highly nervous nerves tense, and he pointed his gun at them, "Who are you? What are you doing?"

It has to be said that the nun holding the torch was the only one on the scene who made Disma suppress the idea of ​​shooting directly, because the people of the church should not join forces with the cult, but he was not sure about the situation at the scene.

Tamara noticed that the power blocking the way disappeared, and it also proved that the trap set by the wizard before was finally broken because it was triggered.

At this time, he opened his mouth to explain, but he also guided the problem to the past.

"Beware of that evil wizard, he set the trap."

This sentence directly made Disma focus on the wizard. He was not from the Empire, and he didn't look like a good person.

But soon he suppressed the messy emotions, and turned to speak solemnly.

"I'm not interested in your fight."

After all, he was about to leave. His mission hadn't been completed yet. Of course, he had to prioritize the mission. He had already passed the age of being brave and ruthless.

Of course, he is also aware of every simple thing here, so close to Hamlet, he must go back and report to the lord as soon as possible before making a decision.

But sometimes things can't be as simple as he wants...
