The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 386 Fierce Battle

"These villains are used to being bosses, and they always like to be the last one to go up. They really don't value the lives of their subordinates."

Lynn drew the Lake Maiden's sword and raised it high above his head: "Everyone, let us fight together and drive out the remnants that do not belong to this world!"

Even though the evil god Daggan did not appear in person, he seemed to have heard Lynn's provocative words.

Another earth-shaking roar resounded, but this time, thanks to Tisaya's preparation, no one suffered any further mental damage.

This roar was like a battle cry, and the fallen merfolk, stepping on the lake water, surged forward in a dark mass.

The scene was extremely grand.

It is said that once a person reaches a thousand, they can block out the clouds and sky; once a person reaches ten thousand, they are boundless and limitless.

The corrupted merfolk surrounding the crowd probably number in the tens of thousands.

If the number of tens of thousands only exists on paper, it may seem ordinary and mundane. Only by personally experiencing the battlefield can one truly feel the suffocating and oppressive feeling of such a number.

It couldn't even see the end, as if it were endless.

If these corrupted merfolk were facing an ordinary human army, their morale would likely be wavering by now.

Lynn carried the Lake Maiden's Sword outside: "Geralt, Regis, Dilaf, let's go to the shallows outside and protect the sorcerers."

Those whose names he called all came out, but Mossack also came out leaning on his oak wand: "Lynn, don't forget me, I'm not that fragile."

Lynn nodded to the druid, then spoke to the sorceresses.

"Lady Margarita, Lady Yennefer, prepare a large protective spell."

"Ms. Tessaia, Triss, I'm counting on you for the long-range support attack."

Everyone was gathered by Lynn, and it was also confirmed at the previous battle meeting that Lynn would be the overall commander of this operation.

Therefore, the sorceresses obeyed Lynn's orders and began to act.

Margarita and Yennefer chanted incantations, activating the previously set-up barrier.

A milky white, semi-transparent protective shield rose up, enveloping the entire altar.

But the sorceresses deliberately left a gap in the protective shield.

This gap is in the direction of the shallows where Lynn and the others are standing.

This was done to reduce the pressure on the protective barrier. When the Fallen Half-Fish saw a gap in the barrier, they would naturally rush towards the shallows defended by Lynn and the others.

Only corrupted merfolk who cannot get close to the shallows will attack the protective shield.

This means the protective barrier can withstand the attack for a longer period of time.

As for Tessaia and Triss, they also began to cast their respective spells.

Various powerful spells were unleashed upon the densest concentration of the fallen merfolk.

Large numbers of corrupted merfolk were either charred by flames or frozen into ice sculptures, and then shattered into pieces by collisions with their companions.

On the path of the fallen merfolk's charge, countless fallen merfolk died every moment, even staining the pitch-black lake with a crimson hue.

However, there were simply too many of these corrupted merfolk, and they were fearless in the face of death.

If it were a human army, its morale would have already crumbled under such a terrifying magical bombardment.

But no matter how many casualties the evil god's minions suffered, they continued to advance, stepping over the corpses of their own kind.

Just as they were about to surge onto the shallows and make contact with Lynn and the others... Lynn pulled out a high-grade North Wind bomb and shouted to the others, "Alchemy bombs, prepare!"

On the way here aboard Ms. Tisaya's ice ship, Lynn distributed the alchemical bombs he had been working overtime to finish over the past few days to the others.

It makes sense to throw a round or several rounds of alchemical bombs before engaging in close combat, right?

The others also took out their advanced North Wind bombs and held them in their hands.

After Lynn gave the order to throw, he launched the Advanced North Wind Bombs in one go.

While these fallen merfolk can move on the lake, the effects of using alchemical bombs like Burning Wind, Dancing Star, and Dragon's Dream would likely be less than satisfactory.

Therefore, the North Wind bomb was the best option.

The North Wind Bomb explosion will not bring fire and smoke, but rather a sudden drop in temperature and frost, freezing the lake and the fallen merfolk together.

The spreading chill was comparable to a high-level warlock's wide-range frost magic. Every fallen merman who stepped onto the shallows was turned into a lifelike ice sculpture, and even the lake water outside the shallows was frozen.

However, these ice sculptures did not last long. The fallen merfolk who followed them charged forward, mercilessly either ramming into them with their bodies or swinging their weapons to clear away the ice sculptures blocking their way.

They didn't even glance at their shattered brethren.

"kill!"

Lynn and his companions engaged in a fierce battle with the fallen merfolk who had surged onto the shallows.

Geralt swung his two-handed sword into a whirlwind, and without exception, every fallen merman who dared to challenge him died by his sword.

These corrupted merfolk were enemies of intelligent races, so Geralt showed no mercy.

Regis and Deraf transformed into two wisps of black mist. These wisps of mist contained no human figures, claws, or fangs, but as they flew past the Fallen Merman, the Fallen Merman was either killed or seriously injured.

In comparison, the old man Mossack seemed like someone who could be easily bullied.

As a result, some corrupted merfolk approached him.

Then they realized they were wrong.

Moxsack's staff skills are comparable to Gandalf's, and this druid can also unleash instant-cast druidic spells from time to time, causing damage that is in no way inferior to Geralt, the swordsman of the North.

However, if we're talking about the most ruthless of these people, it has to be Lynn.

At this moment, Lynn was like Sauron in the first Lord of the Rings movie, wielding the Lake Maiden's sword with impenetrable force.

Each time he swung the Lake Maiden's Sword, which was as huge as a dragon-slaying sword, a group of fallen merfolk were swept away, leaving behind a pile of blood and flesh.

The scene was extremely terrifying.

Despite the gap in the protective shield at the shallows, the fallen merfolk were unable to break through, and the pile of corpses here only grew higher and higher.

The corrupted murlocs from other directions tried to break through the shield, but no matter how they attacked, the surface of the shield only rippled in circles, nothing more.

The two sorceresses, Margarita and Yennefer, took turns channeling magic into the protective barrier to maintain its stability.

To alleviate their stress, Tisaya and Triss continuously cast spells at the fallen merfolk besieging the protective shield, using fire and frost to reduce their numbers.

The fierce battle lasted from noon until evening.

The number of corrupted merfolk has decreased dramatically, the lake has turned deep red, and large numbers of corpses are floating on its surface.
