Geralt casts an Aard at a soldier in-front of him which forces them away like a man-shaped metal projectile at their allies. He then pirouette's under a blade that pa.s.ses over his head and drives his steel blade into the unprotected armpit joint of their armour, crippling them and severing a vital artery. An arrow comes from behind courtesy of Ves that penetrates their eye socket which finally kills them. Geralt nods to her and continues fighting off the soldiers. Though he does take a moment to take in the sight of Sif mauling groups of soldiers without mercy.
Geralt "d.a.m.n scary thing." he mutters as he focuses on his next target.
Eingyi who was currently suited up in Pyreblade armour locks blades with a Wild Hunt soldier, the blades sc.r.a.pe against each other as they both try to overpower their foes. Eingyi eventually manages to deflect away their sword while thrusting his Pyromancy flame into their face and casting Great Combustion which melts the flesh away from the unfortunate Elf's face.
Ciaran was maybe quick work of the soldiers that approached her, the Greatsword of Artorias cleanly cutting through armour as if it were b.u.t.ter. While she was more accustom to her old twin blades she felt closer to her lost lover while covered in blood from the wounds caused by his weaponry. As she was an a.s.sa.s.sin at heart she made sure to kill the few Navigator's that actually made it inside the keep, knowing that with their teleportation and magic capabilities they'd be the biggest problem with trying to secure the area. Even with the Greatsword they didn't see or hear her coming as she bisected them, their armour proving too weak to resist.
While Risryn was one of the last Prospects still fighting she acted as if she was doing their work for them, brutally dismembering any soldier that got close. To her chagrin there wasn't anymore Navigators for her to get her revenge on, atleast inside the courtyard. They were picked off quickly by either Keira Metz, Triss, Logan or Ciaran.
Griggs wasn't completely useless either, his soul arrows not being affected by the Wild Hunt's armour due to it directly attacking their souls. They obviously hadn't come across this kind of attack before because when it hit them they acted like they'd been poisoned or bashed over the back of the head.
Anastacia was getting into it when she wasn't healing those who got injured, occasionally throwing black lightning bolts that tore and rended flesh when it connected. Quelina was next to her most of the time throwing relatively small fireb.a.l.l.s when compared with what everyone else was using, regardless they were effective, especially for someone who wasn't well versed in Pyromancy yet.
While Eskel, Lambert and Vesemir generally stuck together and performed marneuvers that complemented each other Arie was a completely different story. His steel sword in his remaining right hand while the silver blade replacing his arm on his left. He was like a tornado of steel, almost as fast as Geralt was, despite it being less skillful and tamed it was impressive for someone of his age. Or atleast when compared to the other Witchers.
Coaugh who had just been watching with the other blacksmiths had apparently had enough and started stomping into battle, a Greatsword sparkling with electricity looking like a short sword in his hand. The weapon wasn't even necessary as a single stomp would definitely kill someone. Surprisingly the giant was rather skilful with the blade, apparently crafting them for centuries gave you an innate understanding over how to use them.
After seeing one of their own join the battle the other blacksmiths were pumped, Andre grabbing two Greatswords while Vamos picked up his own anvil and started swinging it at the Wild Hunt soldiers, those being caught in his strikes dying instantly from the impact.
Eventually even Priscilla got bored with firing her Great Bow at distant targets and leapt off of the wall with her scythe, turning invisible as she fell. Quelaag who had been left on the wall with the Pyromancers only saw spurts of blood coming from random soldiers necks that signalled where the Half-dragon actually was. Sighing to herself she unsheathes her flaming Furyblade and scuttled into battle, her legs proving harder than steel as they pierced the soldiers armour without much trouble. With her Pyromancies she was a force to be reckoned with as she stabbed, slashed gouged and burned any enemy that dared face her.
Overall the battle in the courtyard deffnitely wasn't in the Wild Hunt's favour, any soldier inside having their life expectancy at around a couple minutes if not less.
With Reima the soldier he'd infected with Humanity had finally stopped shaking, black liquid now pouring from their armour's eye's, mouth and any other openings present in it. Those nearby the corpse hear the body of the creature cracking as it mutates and starts growing larger, eventually becoming around 8ft. The being still wearing the skeletal steel armour, however due to it's increased size it'd broken and s.h.i.+fted, causing the steel ribs to split and look jagged and menacing. It didn't have the typical bloated head of the other Abyssal creatures, probably due to the helmet it's wearing but the black ooze drips and slowly transforms into black fabric which looked similar to what Dark Wraith's usually wear.
Eventually the huge creature stands much to the shock of those near it, not having expected their comrade to turn into this.. Beast! It's gauntlets had broken as it's hands grew into claws, the steel comprising them adding to the long claws now extending from it's fingers. Without a second thought it gives a horrific gurgled "ROAAARRR!" as it swings it's arm at a nearby soldier, it hits them in the face, denting it heavily and piercing it with it's claws, if the man wasn't dead enough the impact had shattered his spine.
Reima sees this transformation and grins before infected a few more soldiers with Humanity, along with unleas.h.i.+ng RitCreature from his shadow which instantly begins casting Dark Sorceries as well as clawing anyone who get's near.
Eventually Reima has around four new "Abyssal Wraiths" along with the first one rampaging around and destroying anyone they see. Any injury they sustain being healed as they take more lives. A Navigator tries to freeze one and almost succeeds, but that's before Reima teleports above them and stabs them with the Humanity infused bottom of the Staff of Ma.n.u.s.
Again, the Navigator falls to the ground and begins to seize before mutating into a slightly smaller version of the "Abyssal Wraith", the skeletal armour and staff that used to have a glowing blue orb atop, now instead has a black orb that drips black ooze from it. It opens it's hand revealing a ma.s.s of darkness and thrusts it towards a group of Wild Hunt soldiers which causes black fog to envelop them. Screams come from it and after it dissipates all that's left are the melted bones of it's victims.
Eredin who is watching this with morbid fascination finally snaps out of it when he realises that this man possessing the Elder Blood could possibly transform his entire army into those beasts. "Kill him at all costs! His blood matters not if we cannot use it!" he shouts which has a few Navigator's solemnly nodding to each other before walking to a vacant area. The start opening a portal which isn't strange for Navigators, the only different this time being where it's connected to...
*BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG*
The sound of many huge explosions happening simultaneously starts being emitted as the portal opens, a laser of what looks like pure violent fire being shot towards Reima. Yes, the Navigator's had opened a portal next to the sun. It took all there strength and life-force to restrain the power and direct it at their enemy without instantly annihilating their army but they managed it and could feel pride at having substantially a.s.sisted in their races survival...
Reima who'd not noticed them opening the portal was surprised by the sound, and was even more shocked when he was. .h.i.t by a beam of fiery plasma. His armour glowed bright white as the t.i.tanite infusion was the only thing holding it together, he didn't know what to do with all the energy that was being shot at him.
From Kaer Morhen everyone was almost blinded by the beam of light being shot at Reima, many were fearful that he'd be killed by it, but most knew Reima was the only one who could possibly survive something like that!
Reima himself was struggling against the impact more than the heat of the ray, as it was pointing in the direction of Kaer Morhen if he didn't block this it was likely that everyone would be killed. Deciding that the best way to deal with this was to absorb the heat and redirect it he pushed his hands out and began drawing all the heat being emitted by it into himself, empowering his soul and forcing his aura out unconsciously.
After a minute straight of this attack the portal finally implodes on itself, killing the Navigator's who'd opened it. Everyone looks at where Reima is, hoping to see him still alive.
Standing there in a small pool of lava is Reima, the armour he was wearing was still glowing white along with even his flesh.
Eredin and Caranthir both get a terrifying premonition as they see Reima's glowing Turquoise eyes staring directly at them. The latter grabbing his king and teleporting away as Reima thrusts his hands forward as if he was trying to do the "Kamehameha" and unleas.h.i.+ng a tidal wave of dark red fiery death towards the army. "DRAAAGOONNN BAALLLLLL!" He shouts as he redirects the power.
Even Solaire had to run out of it's radius as it felt dangerous merely even being near, he escaped and watched as the fire enveloped the forest and reduced it all to ashes, making the area look like a desolate h.e.l.l-scape.
Everyone caught in the attack was killed, most of the Navigators having managed to escape while abandoning the soldiers to their doom.
Even in Kaer Morhen they could feel the heat coming from the attack and wondered if this was how powerful Reima truly was? Regardless, the battle of Kaer Morhen was over.
