Chapter 296: Reliable Ranni

Geralt was indeed a bit worried. If it were others, it would be fine—sorceresses like Sheala, Sabrina, Fringilla, or other male sorcerers whose names he didn't know.

Even if these people were dead or had suffered some cruel treatment, to him, it could only be considered understandable, or forced by circumstances. After all, he was possessed by a Demon God and couldn't control his body; everything he did was not out of his own intention.

Um, well, those behaviors were probably all out of his subconscious, just lacking the control of reason.

But Yennefer was different. The two had known each other for several years. This lady was bold and decisive, not only Geralt's old lover but also had helped him quite a bit. Although her personality was somewhat tough, she was definitely a friend.

If she also died at his hands, after this matter was over, Geralt would really have no face to face Geralt.

Fortunately, after the Lady of the Lake, Lilith, finished listening to his question, she just tilted her head and said softly: "When we found you, it was already the second day after you set off."

"The suppression of the power from another world on us magical races is more serious than you imagine."

"It wasn't until the space rift was sealed and the power from another world had no source and gradually dissipated that we were able to enter that mountain range."

"However, we didn't find the corpses of the sorcerers you mentioned. It's uncertain whether they were killed by you. You killed too many monsters, piled up like a mountain, and there were corpses and broken meat everywhere, numbering in the thousands."

"Under the influence of the evil god's power, your combat power was brought to the extreme. Not only did you possess extremely powerful self-healing abilities and were almost never tired, filled with a desire for destruction, but even the appearance of your body became somewhat similar to the legendary demons."

"If it weren't for your sorceress friend who sealed the power in your body and built a powerful magic barrier in your body, perhaps we wouldn't have been able to stop your behavior and could only watch you destroy endlessly."

"However, regarding the safety of Lady Yennefer, you don't need to worry; she is still alive and quite safe."

"She has an item I gifted her on her person, and I can sense her aura."

"This lady has already left the range of the fog and is currently still in the Kingdom of Kaedwen."

"But we don't know more intelligence. All we can do is help you suppress the dark power in your body, not letting it erode your heart and make you fall into a frenzy."

Listening to the Lady of the Lake's concerned tone, Geralt felt quite warm. Although Goddess Lilith, like the other three goddesses, lacked some common sense in life and didn't have the worldly atmosphere like humans.

But they were indeed kind-hearted, always silently paying for this world, and wouldn't show off their merits, not like some goddess bitches in fantasy worlds who were high and mighty, deceiving other warriors to pay with their lives.

Since Yennefer's life was not in danger, other problems were just small problems. Although the goddesses didn't know what he had done while in a frenzy, Ranni definitely knew more than them.

Then, when there was no one around, he could learn more intelligence from Ranni's mouth.

Seeing this, Geralt stepped forward and hugged the Lady of the Lake, and leaned over to give the goddess a gentle deep kiss, thanking her for her hard work in saving him over the past month.

Lilith also seemed to feel Geralt's feelings, and also stretched out her white, slender arms, hugging the man's strong back, gently responding to him.

Until they kissed for four or five minutes, and even the goddess who had always maintained a holy expression had a flushed face and hazy eyes.

Geralt then gently let go of the embrace, chuckled, and said:

"It's time for me to leave, Lilith."

"I have been missing for more than a month, and before executing this mission, I didn't say hello to my friends."

"They must be very worried about me, and I must explain it to them personally."

Saying this, Geralt looked back somewhat guiltily at the other three goddesses who were still lying in the lake, fast asleep due to excessive fatigue.

"Thank you very much for the help of you and the other three ladies. If it weren't for you, I might have become a monster without reason."

"Next time we meet, I will definitely prepare a gift carefully and give it to you and the other three ladies."

The Lady of the Lake nodded with an ethereal and holy expression again.

However, she didn't let go of Geralt's body, but said with a warning in her tone: "Don't be in such a hurry to leave, Geralt."

"Just as I said before, the evil power in your body is only temporarily suppressed by us. Before finding a solution, you must be suppressed by us again every half a month to a month."

"Otherwise, once this time is exceeded, you may fall into that state of frenzy where your body is out of control again. The longer the interval, the longer the frenzy state will last."

"Until finally, your will is completely drowned in that evil power, becoming a puppet of this power."

"Moreover, you cannot have too strong a desire for destruction and anger, otherwise they may also trigger the evil power in your body, making you do many irrational things."

Listening to the Lady of the Lake's words, Geralt couldn't help but frown. It seemed that Baal's mana was more troublesome than he imagined.

Although hellish power had greatly increased his physical strength, far exceeding the level of a Witcher, it also limited his use of chaos mana.

Making him have to change from a magic master to a physical damage-type warrior.

Now it was even more troublesome that his body needed regular nursing, and he could only maintain normalcy with the help of several goddesses.

It seemed that for a long time in the future, he had to find a way to solve the power of Demon Lord Baal remaining in his body.

Facing the Lady of the Lake's gaze, Geralt nodded and said with gratitude: "I know, Goddess, for a long time in the future, I will have to trouble you and the other ladies."

"I will build a temple specifically for you in the place where I live. That is a very safe place to live, and you will definitely like it there."

………………

After leaving the beautiful lake of the Lady of the Lake, Geralt found that he was still within the Kingdom of Kaedwen, but he didn't know his specific location.

He subconsciously took out the magic flying carpet from his space bracelet, but halfway through, he stopped his action.

Because Geralt suddenly realized that he could no longer use chaos mana as he pleased like in the past, and could no longer manipulate the magic carpet to fly in the sky for a long time.

Thinking this, he took out the magic bell hanging from his waist and shook it gently.

A warhorse, snow-white all over, handsome in appearance, comparable to a unicorn, appeared in front of Geralt.

It raised its head, lifted its beautiful neck, let out a clear neigh, and then turned to look at Geralt. Its watery big eyes seemed to be able to communicate directly with its master.

After Geralt flipped onto the Spirit Horse Udis, he didn't rush to drive the warhorse, but looked behind him, at the exquisite doll that had been floating in mid-air, hiding its figure, and watching the huge magic book, and thanked sincerely:

"Thank you, Ranni."

"I have already heard from Lilith that it was you who saved me and kept me from losing control."

Hearing Geralt's call, Ranni's doll revealed its figure from mid-air and said in a flat tone: "I accept your thanks, Geralt."

"That exotic magic power from another world that invaded your body is indeed very mysterious, seemingly possessing traces of several Great Runes at the same time."

"However, this power seems to have had its will erased, and can only control your body by the nature of the power. The reason you became violent is just because the nature of this power is like this."

"Even if I did nothing, this power would slowly merge into your soul. As long as more than ten years pass, you could gradually wake up from this power and completely master it."

"However, I think you might not like this way, which is why I sealed it."

"If you want to unlock this seal, just tell me."

"Power has no good or evil; it just depends on the choice made by the person using it."
