However, the sorceress eventually resisted her impulses and did not really choose to flee on her own.

It's not that she's really on good terms with Geralt to that extent, or that she's hit it off with Ciri, and she'd rather risk her life to protect that stinky girl.

King Radovid V of Redania launched a frenzied campaign against mages in the Northern Kingdom, while Emperor Nhil Enrith of Nilfgaard stood by and watched as he did not stand by. Members of the Witch Hunter Order, as well as the knights of the Knights of the Flame Rose, have amplified the witch hunt, killing countless innocent healers, alchemists, herbalists, and non-human races.

- The members of the Sorceress's Guild are on their kill list.

So much so that Kayla was forced to fly away, and she had always loved a luxurious life, and she hid in a remote place in the countryside to play the village witch.

But she also knew that she had been hiding from the law, and that Willen was now sandwiched between the Southern Empire and the Northern Kingdom, temporarily becoming an outlawless place, but this situation would not last forever, and sooner or later the hounds of Ladovid would find her.

The sorceress really felt that she was cornered, so she whimsically wanted to use the plague research as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Ladovid in exchange for the other party's absolution for her crimes, and even be able to return to the luxurious life of the past.

But after being woken up by Geralt, she also knew how stupid her plan was, especially when she thought back to what Ciri had said earlier, and the more she thought about it, the more terrified she felt.

That may not be a malicious slander, but a really possible ending, once she really goes to Ladovid, maybe she will really be pierced by a sharp stake and publicly executed in the square.

That kind of result is unimaginable.

Now, Geralt offers her a third option, which is the witcher's stronghold, Kyle Mohan, which will be a safe place and her last straw.

So she decided to stay and help the other party, and she definitely couldn't see that the situation was bad, so she ran away first...... Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to go to Kylemohan, and that place would no longer be a safe place for her.

Kayla also felt that she had had enough of living like a rat in hiding.

Gritting her teeth, she lifted the magical barrier and began to run inland towards the island with small steps.

Originally, she was supposed to wait here for her teammates to come back and get ready for teleportation, but now it seems that if she continues to wait here and stand by, it is uncertain whether her teammates will have a chance to come back.

……

……

The swampy wetlands were frozen by frost and turned a vast white.

It's only a thin layer, but the ice crystals seem to be the power of magic rather than natural evolution.

Neither a wild hunter nor a human would collapse when stepped on it, only the heavy Frost Dragon could wreak havoc on it, the behemoth roaring wildly, moving its body, waving its claws, poking its head out and biting down hard, spewing cold, deadly dragon breath with its jaws open......

The surrounding trees broke and collapsed to the ground, and the thick trunks crisscrossed with dense branches and foliage, making the battlefield even more chaotic.

Tall, rust-red armor and death-like skeletal masks, the Wild Hunters are fighting fiercely around the frost dragon in rage and madness, weapon in hand.

The gray-haired Ciri was somewhat embarrassed by several wild hunters, both to monitor her and control her freedom, but also to protect her from the mad frost dragon from rushing through the line and threatening her.

Ciri's plan was successful, and the frost dragon was coming at her, furious enough to tear her apart, and the Wild Hunters simply couldn't allow such a thing to happen, so they naturally needed to protect the "Ancient Blood".

So the two sides were forced into battle...... But it's not so much a battle, it's more about the wild hunters trying to maneuver and drag on for time.

Because at first glance, this scene looks like a team of heroes is preparing to stage a dragon slaying battle...... However, in reality, Wild Hunt was simply being slaughtered by the Frost Dragon, and there was almost no way to fight back.

In this world, they are "wild hunts" like myths and legends, and people believe that they are immortal demons and knights composed of ghosts.

In reality, however, they were just elven cavalry from another world...... In the elven ruins before, the witches and sorceresses joined forces and were able to kill them after a fierce battle, which 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...... Then the same will die.

For example, at this moment, the Frost Dragon stretched out its huge and terrifying claws, like lightning bolts, and directly grabbed the entire body of a wild hunter in the sharp giant claws.

Accompanied by a deafening dragon roar, mixed with a terrible howl, people would never have believed that the legendary Wild Hunt would have let out such a terrible wail if they had not seen it with their own eyes.

And the howl sounded for less than half a second, and it came to an abrupt end, because the wild hunt that made the sound had directly turned into a puddle of indescribable things.

The Frost Dragon flicked its tail violently, and swept away several wild hunters and horses that charged up behind him, throwing a distance of twenty or thirty meters, and falling heavily on the solid ice! Or break a tree and fall into the depths of the forest, and there will be no sound again!

And the last few wild hounds, the moment they were swept by the steel of the dragon's tail, their bodies were shattered like ice sculptures, and the ice crystals were scattered all over the ground, and no intact body parts could be found.

At this time, there were other wild hunters who seized the opportunity and went up one after another to draw their weapons or cast spells, hitting the frost dragon fiercely.

- There is no need to aim at this superfluous step at all, even if a blind person swings his weapon or releases a prepared spell according to the direction of the sound, there is basically no miss or crookedness.

Because the size of the target is too large, the body of the wild hunt is often extremely tall and unusual, but in front of the frost dragon, it is like the comparison between an insect like a praying mantis and a cat, the difference is huge.

- But most importantly, none of the attacks worked!

It's not just the energy of magic that dissipates and disappears without a trace. Even the wild hunt's sword slashed at the dragon's body, and everyone only felt a sharp shock in the tiger's mouth, and almost let the weapon come out of their hands.

They felt that their full force was simply slashed at a stubborn rock or stubborn iron.

And not only the body, but also the wings of the cortex, which are more fragile than the whole body covered in scales, have chosen to attack, but the result is the same.

At this moment, almost everyone was shocked, and some wondered if there was something wrong with their eyes.

While dragons' scales are extremely sturdy and nearly invulnerable, which is true of their racial trait, they shouldn't be so perverted.

Even the dragon in front of him was nearly twenty meters long, and it was obvious that it was a dragon that had lived for a very long time - because as it aged, the dragon's scales naturally became thicker and harder, thus giving the dragon stronger protection.

But it shouldn't be to that point, if they can have invincible defense, they won't be on the verge of extinction.

Normally, dragon's scales shouldn't be so hard that they don't have complete immunity to magic, and they may be able to greatly reduce the damage caused by elements such as fire, frost, and lightning, but they are definitely not fully tolerated.

Moreover, the muscle tissue under the protection of the scales is also fragile, not to mention the dragon wings that are not protected by the scales, which should be the weakness of the dragon!

But no matter how shocked they were and how they didn't believe it, they couldn't change this fact.

It seems that it is not only the dragon's scales, but also the layer of hoarfrost that covers the dragon's body, and this terrifying power combined with some unknown technique has strengthened the dragon's defenses to unimaginable proportions.

In the next moment, this behemoth had already opened its bloody mouth, and suddenly a mouthful of white cold breath erupted!

It seemed to be the crisp sound of glass breaking, and it was like the feeling of the ice cracking, and a vast ice road with a biting chill spread straight ahead, sinking into the depths of the swamp's dense forest, and all the wild hunting on this ice road turned into ice sculptures.

They lost all their life, their bodies covered in a layer of frost, and they froze in place motionlessly, maintaining their last moments of movement and expression.

If this continues, this team will be wiped out.

However, the Hunters were unable to open the portal as originally planned, and the Frost Dragon seemed to be raging and frantic, but it was also very targeted to overthrow all the Warlocks in the Hunting team.

As soon as there is a fluctuation in mana, as soon as the teleportation spell is ready to be activated, it immediately launches a stormy onslaught in that direction until the source of mana is eliminated.

Because dragons, like cats, are the only creatures on this planet that can naturally sense the existence of magic, the frost dragon inherits this racial characteristic very well, and magnified it infinitely, it is impossible to teleport and escape in front of it!

At this time, a tall and sturdy figure who was taller and stronger than the other wild hunters violently pushed away the subordinates who were blocking in front of him, and scolded him angrily.

Then, the figure, who was supposed to be the leader of the team's Wild Hunt, drew his weapon in front of the Frost Dragon.

At this time, the behemoth happened to bite off the upper body of an enemy, and then turned the huge lizard-like head, and the figure of the hunting leader was reflected in the fierce huge vertical pupils.

Immediately afterwards, it seemed that a shocking duel was about to break out-

In the next moment, the leader of the Wild Hunt roared angrily and strode up, his heavy rust-red armor shaking the ground, shaking the air, causing the ice beneath his feet to let out a heavy and mournful roar.

The rusty face was on the skull-like mask, and the eyes behind it flashed a cold and decisive cruel cold light, and it seemed that it was also burning with light blue flames!

The mighty warrior swept the distance between his enemies like a ghost, and the broad blade of his sword in his raised hand reflected a cold light that seemed to reflect the moonlight in the sky and the glitter of ice crystals on the surrounding ice.

Ciri also looked at this scene in a daze, but in the blink of an eye, he saw that the figure of the hunting leader had already jumped high!

Even in the face of legendary species, he fearlessly raised his great sword and slashed the frost dragon in front of him with all his might, just like a mythical dragon slayer!

That awe-inspiring posture, even the lines are revealing the beauty of violence and publicity, as if it is a shocking famous painting that has been passed down through the ages, forever frozen at this historical node!

Then, the dragon on the opposite side roared and stretched out its claws, and the huge wings behind it suddenly stretched out and engulfed everything!

I saw a black figure fall suddenly, blood raging on the frost-covered mud, leaving only a pair of big armored feet spasming strangely.

Killing a tiny reptile with a single claw, the Frost Dragon once again locked onto its target, roaring and tearing through the atmosphere, roaring headlong towards Ciri!

……

……

"Geralt?! Are you okay? ”

Kayla cautiously treaded through the calmed swampy forest as if she were treading on thin ice.

She finally found the unconscious witcher.
