《Myriad Huntress》Chapter 23: Surprise accident

“Ding”
“By killing “Francesca Frindabair Queen of elves” you have gained 15000
“Ding”
“By killing “Vilgefortz of Roggeveen” you have gained 1 golden point.
Joan stared at those 1 golden points in a daze as if she was dreaming. Then she calms herself and looks at her stats. Without thinking she click the last seal stats-
“Would you like to [Unlock] the [Spd] stats?”
“Yes!”
Then suddenly she felt the world slow down for a bit, but everything became normal again after a few moments.
She smiles in satisfaction as she looks at her stats and maxes it to 20 for balance.
Again, the world became slow, she stood up and move her body. Due to her Phy being 20, her physical body can adapt to the sudden speed making her relax.
She suddenly discovers that if she prioritized the speed, her body can’t handle the sudden velocity of the speed force and can cause her body to tear apart.
The same applies to Wis stats that rely on the energy of the body to continue processing information, without energy, the brain might have dried up and malfunction causing loss memory or dementia. But if she only prioritizes the physical body, she will become a strong woman without control and speed. Without control, she can’t use her strength properly and might cause havoc in her surroundings like a she-hulk.
Without Spd stats on the other hand, her muscle will become stiff without flexibility. Just like a robot that can only stiff movements.
So it’s good to prioritize Phy stats but not too much to avoid imbalance before focusing on the other two stats.
While she was thinking…
“Ding”
“All your stats have reached the E stage. Due to inappropriate stats on 1-star difficulty, your current world will lift to 2 stars.”
She gawks, then her eyes bulge out
“Fuck!”
-
On the sea of dimension, a boat was flying on the void, a man wearing black armor and skull helmet, he was holding a staff with a white orb at the top of it. Suddenly he looks in some direction and his eyes began to glow brightly.
“Target found, send the hunt”
-
Joan frowns and looks around trying to see what’s the difference.
“Couldn’t be bad…right?” she murmured then she just shrugged her shoulder
“Well, it already happens so might as well go through the flow.”
But her worry still won’t get away, she just scratches her head in helplessness
“The most important thing when this kind of situation is to hug the golden thigh tightly.” she looks at the trio who was talking happily.
“Right, as long as I hug their thigh, my life is safe.”
She approaches them
“I think it will safe to go to your friends an ask for a favor, although they are few, they can still help.” Yennefer said
“Right, first we go to Rivia and convince some of my old buddies for help, then teleport to Vesemir and ask for the other witchers for help.”
“You can also ask that lady friend of yours,” Yennefer said in a sarcastic tone
“Right…” he cough not falling for the bait making Yennefer snort
Yennefer was about to teleport them when-
Ciri suddenly began to shake then her eyes began to trance, eyes glowing with bright light as she mutters words they can’t comprehend except for Yennefer who was listening quietly to Ciri's words.
Ciri mutters and more and more until she suddenly faints, Geralt catches her on time and inspects her. He breathes in relief when he determines she’s alright.”

“It's getting more frequent.”
Yennefer didn’t say anything and frown
“What is it say?”
“She says “Destiny path has changed; the road ahead was full of void. Weaves on the path of webs and find your path…”
“It must be because we already change the original situation”
Yennefer look at Illyah who was currently listening
“Can you still see your “vision?”
Joan shakes her head.
“No"
“Hmm,” Geralt put Ciri down the grass field and look up.”
“Somethings coming”
Suddenly, on the corner of the field, a bright light began to appear and creatures wearing black armor with a skull helmet with swords on their hands appear. Soon more and more of them came.
“The wild hunt” Geralt spoke softly.
“They detected Ciri’s blood and now they were here.”
Joan looked at the soldiers and [Observe] them and became dignified.

“All of them were top D class…” looking at those hunts with a grim expression.
“Fuck, so this is 2-star rate…” she bit her lip in worried as more of the hunt began to appear until they surrounded them.
“Yennefer, can you teleport us?”
Yennefer closes her eyes and then she suddenly opens her eyes wide.
“I’ can’t! Somethings blocking the space!”
Geralt pulls out his two swords.
“Put a barrier around Ciri and Illyah, I’ll do what I can to delay them, try to find a way to breakthrough.”
Suddenly a tall wearing skull armor walks out in the light. Different from others, he holds a scepter with an illuminating globe atop of it.

“Ding”
“Quest issued: Protect Ciri!”
“During the battle, kill the leader of the hunt (Caranthir) or survive the onslaught before Ciri wakes up and teleport you”
Joan look at this notification and dread slowly filled her.
“Fuck, the system has pit me!”
She can guess the reason why Yennefer can’t teleport out of this place. There was a higher chance it was the system doing since she never heard of Yennefer failing to teleport once.
She looks at the soldiers slowly walking to them with their sword.
Joan put down her bag and pull out five super potions.
“Geralt, you’ll need this!”
She games him three superior swallow potion and two superior tawny potions.
Geralt looks at Joan holding some potions and his eyes became bright as he notices that all of them were all high quality.

“Thanks, kid.” He grabs them all and put some of them in his leather utility pouch.
Then she brought some mana potion to Yennefer, unlike Geralt, she didn’t say anything and just put them on the ground while maintaining the barrier around them.
Without saying anything, he initiates the attack.
Joan on the other hand, pull out her crossbow. Then she pulls another special set of bolts glittering in silver.
After killing bandits, Geralt was once curious why she was gathering sword loots when she already has a sword?
The answer is silver, in this witcher world, to kill enemies, you need silver tools.
It’s like their ultimate adversaries of evil creatures. The other reason is, it’s the toughest metal she can think right now while using an enchantment weapon without it being destroyed.
She began loading it and look at the hunts number; they were currently 30 soldiers with 1 boss. If Geralt was going to face the boss with full strength, she needs to reduce the number of those minions.
Geralt began swinging his sword, those hunts were not like those bandits, these guys fight with tactics and careful maneuver, they spread around Geralt and attack him together, looking for his weakness, not rushing and analyzing his every move. Geralt on the other hand needs to be alert all the time to make sure no one can ambush him from behind.
Suddenly-
“Ping!”
On his back, a hunt shakes its head when something hits its helmet. The soldier beside him was also hit by the same object. Geralt looks at the silver bolts at the ground and guess this must be Illyah's doing. He then takes this chance to get out of the enemy circle.
“Magic defense.” Joan murmur while start hitting them one by one. Geralt finally can breathe and observe his battlefield.
“Kill the girl.” Caranthir order.
The other half focuses on Geralt, while the rest run to her direction.
Not panicking, she slowly enhances every bolt and shoots it at the coming hunts. Although they have magical armor; she can feel its magic energy dwindling every time she shot at them. Until-
“Puchi!”
She hit someone's neck making it fall forward. Joan's eye became bright.
It takes two bolts to penetrate its magical defense, but it’s enough to know the armors have limits.
Thinking of this, she suddenly began shooting faster, concentrating faster. With her increase of speed, her firing of crossbow became fast like a blur, and with the consumption of energy, and concentration of brain, she almost like a sniper with ak-47 with her continuous shooting non-stop. The hunt rush to her trying to avoid her bolts, when they arrive at the barrier, they start hacking it.
She looks at the seven corpses she killed with bolts and love dearly.
“Those silver had taken me 50 swords just to burn to most pure silver.” She drops down the crossbow and pulls out super potions from the bag.
She looks at the bottles she created and her eyes became firm.
“If I’m going to die, might as well go all out!”
Superior Tawny Owl – Accelerate the regeneration of stamina by 60 seconds
Superior Thunderbolt potion – increase the critical damage by 100% during storms, increase 35% attack power by 90 seconds.
In the case of thunderbolt potions condition, she didn’t need to wait long to find storms just to use it. It can be said that things potions are designed for her. The simple reason; she produced electricity on her own body.
When she first remembers this potion details, she got curious if the thunderbolt potion will work on her without the actual thunderstorm and just using electricity generated by the body, and yep, it almost works like a charm.
She drinks both the potions and feels the veins on her body turning black. She grits her teeth, waiting for the effect to work, then thunder starts to flow on her body. She can feel her strength was increasing in double.
She pulls out her sword and rushes to the enemy before her, she jumps out of the barrier and does cross slash on the first enemy's head, before it can react, its head flies in the air.
“So normal attacks work on them.” She murmur
Seeing this, the other hunt retreated away.
“Tsk!” with clocks ticking, she can’t let the effect of the potion go to waste.
She rushes to them, one of them attempts to block her, when its sword interlock with her, the enemy can’t help but push back several steps.
Not giving a chance for it to retreat, she jumps and does a vertical strike striking its neck The hunt target felt its neck open and blood began to burst, he put both hands on his throat and fall.
She rolls forward evading a slash on her back, then turns and crosses her swords as two swords parry her. She threw the swords back and slash their leg armor.
“Bang!”
The two hunts unconsciously bent making them a surprise, but the surprise didn’t end there, before they can react, Joan already thrust her two swords forward, the edge of the sword penetrates the neck of the two. She then pulls it out and looks at the four.
The remaining four look at each other than circle around her, she looks around, hunts gripping their swords ready to strike.
Then the four simultaneously attack, Joan raise her sword upward blocking the four swords-
"Bang!"
She can’t help but bent her knee as her feet deepen to the soil as they combine the strength of four huntsmen and forcing her to drop to her knee.
“Aaaah!”
With a loud shout, she forcefully pushes them and jumps, with a full enhance double sword, she twists her body and twist in the midair while holding two swords, spins around. As the swords pass, but due to magic defense, she only managed to make them force back. She put the sword on the earth and pull out four silver knife, she enhances them slowly as she watches as the four rush and attacks again, this time she jumps and throws four silver knife in different directions. She watches as the four silver knife penetrates their neck without magic defense.
The four huntsmen became stiff and fall one after another.
She was breathing hard, looking around her vigilantly, after making sure they were dead, she enters the barrier again. She looks at Yennefer who was still concentrating while beads of sweats cover her forehead.
She looks in Geralt direction and she can see she already taken 7 huntsmen but there was still 8 left around him. He was already using the potions she gave him base on the red aura he was emitting.
She grabs the crossbow and starts shooting again.
