Chapter 314: The Miserable Vilgefortz

Vilgefortz, the man rated by many original fans as the strongest wizard.

Known as the number one in the world for stick technique, a metal staff was more powerful in his hands than a witcher's long sword.

The most boastful record was breaking Geralt's legs during a sword fight, killing Yennefer in seconds during a magic duel, and in the final battle, directly face-to-face, evaporating the higher vampire Regis with magic, almost vaporizing this powerful vampire directly, and also defeating the search team formed by Geralt.

If it weren't for a small accident, being counter-killed by Geralt, with him as a stirrer, the outcome of the Northern War might have developed differently.

After discovering that his enemy was indeed him, Geralt felt a secret relief in his heart. Although the plot had indeed changed greatly compared to the past, it hadn't deviated from his expectations, which could be considered a blessing in misfortune.

He stood in place, looking at Vilgefortz, who seemed to be focusing on studying Princess Pavetta's body data and didn't find any abnormality.

Geralt's thoughts flashed, almost without any hesitation, he immediately decided to take action to kill this future stirrer.

Although Vilgefortz could be considered a quite talented sorcerer, this guy was also a source, not affected by Dimeritium, and was powerful, ambitious, and deep, belonging to the type that couldn't be subdued. Leaving him was definitely a disaster.

Thinking this way, Geralt lightened his steps and moved slowly toward Vilgefortz's position, not rushing to launch an attack.

Although his physical fitness had far exceeded ordinary people, the other party could crush Geralt in close combat, clearly his physical fitness was also very strong, and he was an expert in this aspect. Moreover, Princess Pavetta was by his side, so it was best to get closer to ensure nothing went wrong.

However, soon, Geralt's idea of wanting to sneak attack fell through. I don't know if it was because Vilgefortz was naturally cautious, but when Geralt's body had just approached him for about thirty meters, and he was still in an invisible state, he was suddenly discovered by this man.

There was no verbal communication. Vilgefortz pushed his hand toward Geralt's direction, and a ring he was wearing on his right hand suddenly flashed with magic light.

This light, under the control of this male sorcerer, instantly turned from virtual to real, like lightning, with the sound of wind whistling, flying toward Geralt's position, directly shattering several wooden experimental tables along the way.

Geralt didn't have the intention of trying the power of the other party's spell with his body. Although the distance between the two sides was about thirty meters, he immediately activated the Blink ability, held the Statikk Shiv, and instantly blinked behind Vilgefortz.

Just after standing firm, the electric blade in his hand slashed down fiercely.

Accompanied by the sound of the blade tearing the air, the electric blade, less than a meter long, turned into a thunder light in Geralt's hand, from top to bottom, instantly slashing toward Vilgefortz's back.

However, as a man with superb physical skills, although Geralt's Blink ability was beyond his expectation, Vilgefortz still reacted barely.

The moment he turned around, he took out his metal staff and crossed it over his head, colliding with Geralt's electric blade.

This was exactly what the witcher wanted. Geralt's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, and his hands slashed even harder.

Clang!!! With a loud noise of metal clashing, sparks flew everywhere, and Vilgefortz let out a scream. The metal staff of unknown material in his hand broke in response.

His body was also hit by the chain lightning attached to Geralt's blade and his powerful strength that far exceeded ordinary people, like being hit by a galloping bull, flying backward directly, knocking over several experimental tables, and then rolling on the ground several times, finally lying on the ground, the electric arcs flickering on the surface of his body and the smell of scorched flesh, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

After one hit, before waiting for Vilgefortz's body to land, Geralt was about to rush up and cut off this guy's head with one knife to eliminate future troubles.

Suddenly felt his feet grabbed by something, not only was movement quite difficult, but there was also a huge force strangling his muscles.

Geralt looked down. What surprised him was that the two metal staves that had fallen to the ground and were cut into two sections actually turned into two metal snakes, instantly wrapping around his ankles like snakes, and the sharp broken ends were like fangs, trying to penetrate his metal leg guards and pierce into his flesh.

If it weren't for his equipment being extremely sophisticated, all of which were works of Master-level blacksmiths, he might have been hit by these two metal snakes, and his feet would have been at least a piercing injury.

The strangling power of these two metal snakes was astonishingly large, and the squeezing force was also unusual, just like two pythons, tightly wrapping his metal leg guards, and constantly shrinking, as if they wanted to break his legs, without any relaxation.

No way, Geralt could only hold the electric blade in his hand tightly and slash fiercely at the two metal snakes wrapped around his legs.

Clang! Clang! A few crisp sounds.

Until they were cut into three sections and completely lost their ability to act, his feet returned to normal. This was thanks to the Statikk Shiv in his hand being an extremely excellent divine weapon, capable of cutting through steel relatively easily, otherwise, he was afraid he would have been dragged by this magical spell for a long time.

However, perhaps because he had some treasure that could weaken spell damage, and his physical fitness was extremely strong, taking advantage of the time he got rid of the shackles of his feet, Vilgefortz, who should have been seriously injured due to chain lightning and his powerful slash, actually stood up again.

His handsome face had been scorched by high temperature, and a lot of his long brown hair had fallen off. His originally gorgeous clothes had also stuck to his body because of the melting of his skin, soaked by blood.

However, this man didn't show any painful expression. He stared fiercely at Geralt not far away with bloodshot eyes, his blood-stained face twitched slightly, then showed a creepy smile, clapped his hands in front of him, and briefly chanted a spell.

A huge magic circle, at least twenty or thirty meters wide, was instantly generated at Vilgefortz's feet, and the range even directly covered the experimental table where Princess Pavetta was.

Seeing this, Geralt of course wouldn't let the other party complete the spell. The Dimeritium arm crossbow on his left hand was quickly raised toward Vilgefortz's direction, and a precious magic-breaking crossbow bolt was fired instantly.

With a sharp whistling sound, the dark golden arrow instantly flew over a distance of more than thirty meters, directly shot Vilgefortz's one eyeball, and penetrated from the back of his skull.

His body also fell backward on an experimental table under the influence of this force.

However, what surprised Geralt was that after suffering such a heavy blow, Vilgefortz not only didn't die immediately, but even the summoning magic under him didn't stop.

With the passage of time, a large amount of lava and high temperature continued to extend outward from the magic circle. Clearly, the other party was summoning a powerful existence from the Fire Elemental plane.

Seeing this situation, Geralt's gaze instantly swept over Princess Pavetta, who was also shrouded in the high-temperature magic circle. After struggling for a second in his heart, he didn't choose to pursue Vilgefortz, who had just been shot to the ground by the magic-breaking crossbow bolt, but stepped out and rushed to the side of Princess Pavetta's experimental table.

Reached out and tucked the princess, who was still in a coma, under his arm, and then used the Blink ability to instantly blink to a corner of the hall dozens of meters away, out of the range of the magic circle.

Geralt had just left, and immediately heard the sound of the floor of the top hall shattering.

A roar that seemed to come from the abyss erupted. The moment the floor of the top hall shattered, a terrifying giant humanoid monster composed of lava, flames, and burning red giant stones crawled out of the magic circle summoned by Vilgefortz.

It was fifteen meters tall, possessed two slender arms and thick legs, and its head was composed of some strange lava stones, revealing a huge mouth that constantly sprayed flames, barely able to see a human shape.

This was a Fire Elemental, a terrifying monster from the elemental plane. Even in the history of the Wizard World, the frequency of appearance was not high.

The only one that Geralt remembered relatively deeply was the Manticore School of the Kingdom of Zerrikania, which was killed by a powerful Fire Elemental along with hundreds of soldiers during an escort mission for royal members, leaving only two or three kittens, and was still lingering in the desert now.

This kind of monster was entirely composed of hard lava and stones, and the temperature around its body could even reach thousands of degrees. Before it lost its ability to act, it was not an existence that ordinary humans could deal with.

However, this kind of monster didn't mean much to Geralt. Geralt was least short of money. As long as the distance was opened, throwing hundreds of North Wind Bombs over, even if the other party was really a group of hot flames, it could be frozen into ice cubes directly, not to mention it was just a group of lava monsters.

He reached out and hugged Princess Pavetta horizontally in his arms, carefully keeping her abdomen upward, so as not to cause a miscarriage due to intense exercise, one corpse and two lives.

At the same time, his gaze was also scanning behind the giant, trying to find Vilgefortz's figure from behind the monster.

However, just for the effort of rescuing the princess, the man known as the strongest wizard had long since disappeared, not knowing whether he was hiding or had already escaped from this castle through magic.

This discovery made Geralt couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Vilgefortz was a fierce poisonous snake. Now he had seriously injured him. Perhaps it would be calm for a short time, but he had to be careful in the future.

Although he wasn't afraid of this guy himself, his relatives and friends didn't have this strength.
