The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 12: Knife, Slashing the Harpy
Lambert whistled. "Not bad, did the old man tell you all this?"

"No, I read it in a book. I've read all the books in the castle."

"When I was your age, I couldn't sit still..." Lambert suddenly sighed. "Wardhe, he's just like you, he likes to hold a book all day long. Back then, we joked that he should go to Oxenburg University instead of Kaer Morhen."

Lynn asked doubtfully, "Wardhe?"

Lambert's tone became serious. "The apprentice who was training with me... when we passed through the Cyclops' cave, he failed to escape."

Lynn sighed.

"Lambert, I'm so sorry."

"It's okay, it's all over." Lambert patted his cheek and forced a smile. "We all swam across the lake back then. You're lucky, kid. I have a boat. We can take it across."

Lynn didn't respond.

Lambert turned his head, glanced at him, and smiled: "Hey, kid, don't show that expression, I'm not as fragile as you think. Life and death are very common in our industry. I've seen it a lot. It's just..."

"I hope you survive, kid."

……

Neither of them spoke again for the rest of the journey.

Until the dilapidated boat house and a small boat tied to the dock came into view.

Lambert was about to say something, but his face suddenly became serious.

"Wait, did you hear that?"

"I heard it and I saw it."

Lynn drew the silver sword from his back and got into a fighting stance.

From the direction of the lake in the distance, a large shadow was approaching them rapidly.

"It's the Harpy!"

Like other monsters, the harpy is the product of the confluence of the celestial spheres.

They prefer to nest in desolate, mountainous areas, and the sparsely populated Blue Mountains are an excellent choice.

Harpies move in groups, usually ranging from a few to twenty. Although they are timid and cautious, they will not hesitate to attack if their numbers exceed their enemy.

Just like now.

Several harpies circling over the lake discovered two witchers on the land not far away.

They communicate through distinctive calls and then split into two groups.

One group pounced on Lynn, and another group pounced on Lambert.

"Back off, kid!"

Lambert yelled.

To attract the attention of the harpy.

He deliberately exposed himself in the open space.

Then he held the sword in one hand and stood on the ground motionless like a reef.

It was not until the swooping harpy was very close to him that he suddenly changed from holding the sword with one hand to holding the hilt with both hands.

Geralt was right.

Lambert has a foul mouth.

But his ability is unquestionable.

Especially his grasp of timing is excellent.

Originally, the harpy used the speed gained from diving to attack the enemy.

But he was used by Lambert instead.

Before the harpy's claws ripped him open, he first split the harpy's shoulders and chest with a sword.

The latter let out a strange cry, and the kite fell down with its string broken.

Lambert jumped back, dodging the falling harpy. At the same time, he quickly formed the Alder Seal with his left hand and slammed out with a palm, hitting the other harpy that followed and dived down.

Before the harpy could react, it seemed as if it had hit an invisible fence, rolled in the air, and fell heavily to the ground headfirst.

There was only a crisp sound of "click", and the harpy's head and neck became abnormally and strangely twisted.

It struggled on the ground for a moment, and soon stopped moving.

In just a moment, Lambert took care of the two harpies.

Harpies don't have much intelligence, but their instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm caused the remaining two harpies surrounding Lambert to react in completely different ways. One of the harpies turned around and flew away, as fast as it could.

The other one made a half circle, trying to get around and attack Lambert from behind.

The Wolf School Demon Hunter badge on Lambert's chest suddenly shook violently at this moment.

Lambert did not turn around, but stepped aside and dodged the harpy's sneak attack from behind.

Then, the silver sword in his hand emitted a cold light.

next moment.

The harpy's body and head rolled to the ground separately.

After taking a look at the fleeing harpy and confirming that it was too late to catch up, Lambert gave up.

Just when he was about to help Lin En, he was surprised to find out.

The battle on Lynn's side has also ended.

……

When Lambert told Lynn to back off, Lynn did as Lambert asked.

He wasn't afraid, nor was he trying to escape.

But it was to bring the Harpy to a battlefield more suitable for the Witcher.

Because their body structure is different from that of humans, harpies use their flying ability to dive quickly to attack their enemies and then fly back into the sky.

If they fall to the ground, they become as clumsy as hens.

There is a small forest not far from the boat house.

Lin En rolled instead of retreating and quickly retreated to the grove.

Among the harpies following closely behind, one of them didn't have time to turn and its wings collided with a tall spruce tree.

Suddenly lost balance.

Falling from the air in a dog-eating-shit posture.

By the time it got up, a figure had already approached it.

The silver sword was raised high, and then chopped down with force.

puff!

There was a dull thud as a sharp weapon pierced into flesh.

The silver sword slashed through the harpy's head, almost cutting off half of its skull.

He stepped on the monster's chest, kicked it away, and pulled out the bloody silver sword.

At this moment, a foul-smelling wind suddenly blew up from behind, like the smell of a rotting corpse mixed with bird droppings.

Without thinking, he instinctively rolled to the side to avoid it.

He then formed the Igni Seal with his left hand and shot out a long snake-like flame in the direction where he had just stood.

The power of the mastery-level seal was slightly insufficient, but fortunately the harpy's own feathers acted as ignition.

The smell of burning suddenly hit me in the face.

One harpy was directly ignited.

He fell to the ground and struggled, trying to put out the flames on his body.

The other harpy's wings were only slightly burnt, but it was enough to prevent it from returning to the sky.

It was not used to staying on the ground, and it launched clumsy attacks at Lin En repeatedly, but Lin En easily avoided them.

Lynn used the Alder Seal, first stunning the opponent, and then made a thrusting move.

next moment.

He stomped the ground hard.

Mud splashes.

The whole person shot out like a crossbow arrow.

He poured all his strength into the silver sword's blade and easily pierced the throat of the last harpy.

A warm current rushed into his body, and Lin En called out the attribute panel and took a look.

Attribute points: 0 (2%) → 0 (19%)
