Time seems to be stretched and frozen as death approaches.
She can clearly see:
A head covered with strange dark purple feathers, but with vaguely distorted female features.
Those pupils that looked like coagulated blood droplets reflected his own face, which was distorted by extreme fear.
A bloody mouth that was split to the base of the ear suddenly opened, revealing densely packed white fangs that were as sharp as daggers!
Two sharp nails covered with scales and horns, extending several inches from the tip, shining with a cold blue light, were like death's scythes, piercing her throat and heart!
The breath of death, cold, sticky, and decadently sweet, overwhelmed her instantly! Her mind went blank, and her body was as stiff as a stone sculpture. She could only watch helplessly as the minions of destruction descended on her fragile body with a scream that ripped through the air!
Just when Bruxa's sharp claws were about to tear the sorceress's body apart, a cold light suddenly flashed! The fear on the female student's face had not yet faded, and the monster that was charging towards her had been split into two by the sharp sword. Hot blood instantly splashed on her pale cheeks, and Bruxa's broken body fell heavily to the ground.
This sudden change immediately attracted the attention of Red and his companions, who quickly gathered towards the commotion. Seeing the silver sword dripping with blood in Yavi's hand, and the shocked female student whose face was splashed with blood, Red instantly understood what had happened. Needless to say, everyone immediately entered a fighting state and looked around vigilantly.
Yavi flicked his wrist and shook off the blood remaining on the sword blade, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, be careful! Bruxa is a social creature, there must be more..." Before he finished speaking, a sharp neighing sound suddenly tore through the air! From the tower of the church spire, dozens of identical terrifying figures rushed out like a black tide. In an instant, the sky was filled with high-speed flying Bruxa, and their figures intertwined into a suffocating web of death.
"Free attack!" Red ordered sharply.
The warlocks reacted quickly and cast a halo of defensive spells around themselves. Immediately afterwards, colorful energy began to condense in their hands - fireballs roared, ice cones shot, lightning tore the air, and all kinds of attack spells were like dense fireworks, violently pouring towards the group of monsters flying in the air.
But Yavi did not participate in the long-range attack. He had sharp eyes, moved quickly, and led Yennefer close to the frightened guides. His tall body was like a barrier, firmly blocking the guides behind him, and the silver sword lay across it, ready to attack at any time. Ready to cut off any claws that dared to swoop down. Within his solid protective circle, Yennefer calmly raised her hands, powerful magic power gathered at her fingertips, and precise and deadly spell energy shot at the high-speed moving shadows of death in the air without hesitation.
Just as Red led the warlocks to bombard Bruxa dancing in the air, Yennefer's keen perception suddenly tightened - the magic elements in the surrounding air were moving in the air. It was depleting at an astonishing speed! The magic power seemed to be being sucked madly by an invisible vortex, and the concentration dropped sharply. She instantly realized the consequences: once the magic power in this area was completely drained, they, the sorcerers who relied on spells, would be no different from ordinary people without the power to bind a chicken!
"Red! No! Escape!" Yennefer shouted loudly, his voice penetrating the roar of the spell, "The magic power here can't last long!"
Red obviously felt that the palpitating magic vacuum was forming, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead. A trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he made a prompt decision to instantly compress and detonate the few remaining magic powers in his body!
Boom--!
A light blue shock wave visible to the naked eye suddenly spread out with him as the center, sweeping across the sky like an invisible giant hammer! The Bruxa group that was swooping and circling like crazy hit a wall of air, screamed and was violently knocked away, and the offensive was stalled.
"Everyone retreat! Hurry!" Red seized this precious breathing opportunity and roared at everyone.
The warlocks immediately stopped attacking. Amidst the waves of dizziness caused by the exhaustion of magic power, they covered each other and staggered quickly towards the outside of the village.
Yavi pushed the still hesitant Yennefer towards the retreating crowd. "Follow them! Run!" At the same time, he quickly took out three round objects with a cold metallic luster from the leather bag on his waist, and stuffed them into Yennefer's hands without any explanation - it was the Grapeshot Bomb that he had carefully prepared before setting off!
"Take this!" Yavi spoke very fast, looking sharply at the Bruxa group that had gathered in the air again and screamed angrily, "I will stay behind! Otherwise, with the speed of these students, they will never be able to outrun the claws of those beasts!"
Just as everyone was stumbling towards the outside of the village, the Bruxa that had been knocked away by Red had already regained their ferocity! They let out a piercing scream, turned into blurry black shadows, swooped down quickly, and pounced on the backs of the escapees!
However, a dull roar suddenly came from below!
Bang!
The last remaining magic power erupted from the palm of Yavi - an invisible Aard Sign shock wave hit the leading Bruxa accurately! They seemed to be hit by an invisible giant hammer, their screams stopped suddenly, and they fell down like kites with broken strings. Yavi felt a shiver in his heart - the blow just now had almost drained away the weak magic power left in this area. He estimated that a Signs like this could last three or four times at most, thanks to the relatively low consumption of Signs itself.
He released Signs one after another, shooting down several waves of Bruxa who were trying to pursue him. This decisive attack immediately focused the bloodthirsty attention of the Bruxa group on Yavi! The open space in front of the church instantly became his own arena.
Yavi did not hesitate, and quickly formed a seal with his left hand. A pale golden Quen shield instantly enveloped his whole body, as if he was covered with a layer of flowing shimmering armor. His body sank slightly, his center of gravity was lowered, and his silver sword pointed diagonally at the ground, assuming the iconic fighting posture of a demon hunter.
The black shadows in the sky became restless. Sharp sounds of breaking through the air were heard one after another! One, two, three...Bruxa took turns swooping down from tricky angles, tearing the air with their sharp claws, and going straight to Yavi's vitals! But Yavi's The figure moved around in the small space, every dodge was just right, and every swing of the sword was precise and deadly! In the flash of silver light, blood spattered, and the monsters that tried to sneak attack were all cut off and split open by the silver sword that drank the blood of monsters. The remaining limbs and wings fell to his feet one after another, piled up in a shocking ring!
At the same time, Red and his group finally staggered out of the village entrance. He leaned on his knees, his chest heaved violently, and he was breathing heavily. He looked back and saw no chasing shadows for the time being. "They all ran out, right? Those monsters... didn't chase them? That's great..."
"No!" Yennefer interrupted him hastily, his voice trembling slightly with urgency, and his eyes fixed on the direction of the village, "It's not that they didn't come after them! It's Yavi! He took the initiative to stay behind and blocked all the pursuers! Otherwise... in our current state, how could we possibly outrun those monsters!"
