《Myriad Huntress》Chapter 24: Caranthir vs Joan
Advertisement
“Bang!”
“Huff” he breathes slowly, looking at the dead bodies of the hunt. Geralt was covered in blood, but still looking vigilant. He looks at Caranthir who has been observing his fight to the very beginning.
Caranthir looks at this calmly and opens a dark blue portal. Then another wearing a skull mask arrives, but this time, he was much heavy armor compared to his peers while holding a giant ax on his broad shoulder.

Without waiting for an order, the giant hulk rush to Geralt with a giant ax in his hands.
-
Joan observes the two, Geralt was dodging Nithral's attack with his speed and attack him in a blind spot with cunning swordsmanship. On the other hand, the Nithral was abnormally strong and durable, and just a swing of his ax make the air around him vibrate.
Suddenly she looks straight as Caranthir appeared before them.
“Your efforts are futile, surrender to your death as I shall make it less painful.”
She pulls out a super thunderbolt potion and drinks it.
“Hmph!”
Five floating blue lights balls were floating above Caranthir. He gestures at those blue balls fly to them-
"Bang!"Bang"Bang"
The barrier was being blasted five times. She can see that Yennifer was trembling as she can’t hold on much longer as the barrier slowly became pale.
“I guess this is the moment I play the hero...”
She pulls out a red potion from the bag and looks at it;
Superior Swallow – accelerate vitality regeneration without interruption by 150/ 80 during the fight.
She gulps it along with superior thunderbolt and superior Tawny owl.
Black veins start to spread on her body again, this time the black veins almost spread half her body.
After the effect began, without hesitation, she rushes to him. Caranthir continues blasting the barrier non-stop, he looks sideways to the little girl rushing to him but chooses to ignore her and continue attacking the already frail barrier.
Joan was already on his front and about to wield her two swords, but at that moment, she decides to throw all her dice on a single chance.
[Bio- Electro Brain enhancement] and [Bio-electro body enhancement] activated;
Suddenly everything becomes slow, her heart starts beating hard on her chest as her brain tries to process every detail all around her.

Caranthir suddenly bulges his eyes out as he felt death aura almost upon him, without hesitation, he blinks away.
Joan watch as he was covered in white light, her brain calculates the energy and its destination. With tracker skill and radar, she can see energy slowly forming somewhere far. She steps on the ground and vanishes.
Caranthir appeared from blink only to stare, because the girl was already above him with her swords almost in front of him
His eyes slowly became wide as he slowly watches the swords about to penetrate his neck.
Suddenly there was a sword appear before him and block the strike. He felt he was pull back on the blue portal behind him, as he watches helplessly as the one holding the sword lost its arm but it’s a price to pay as he survives on the death door.
Joan drop down but didn’t stop, she looks at Geralt still fighting Nithral, who was currently surrounded by a blue barrier and summoning armor dog-like creatures.
She steps on the grass and vanishes.
“Bang!”
The blue barrier easily destroyed as Nithral was thrown back, without waiting for him to react, a sword pricks his neck.
Joan's image became clear, right now she was covered by her blood, every part of her veins was being destroyed every second, and her head was covered in heat like a steam smoking above her head.
“Ugh…”
She trembles, twitch, and her eyes roll out.
The last thing she saw was Geralt running to her before she blacks out.
-
Six months later
Joan felt groggy, she felt like her head was covered in a spider web and trap in some kind of a sticky place. She tried to climb up but every time she tried, the web became stronger. In the end, she gave up and ponder.
“Where am I, and why its all black?”
Then she felt it. The web that has been trapping her slowly became loose, she saw a light shines above her. Without a thought, she rises from the murky darkness and swam toward the light...
-
When she tried to open her eyes, everything was still black.
“What’s going?” she was confused.
Then she used her radar skill and she was shocked.
Two people were talking around her. A short one and a slimmer one. They were both talking to one another. Then she looks at herself and was shocked.
“I have no energy?”
She can see all her pathways were destroyed, her internal organs were mangled, and she can consider disabled base on her condition.
“I can’t feel myself, I can’t hear those two, and I can’t open my eyes.”
“Well at least she’s alive?” that’s what she likes to say
“Is this the price?” she smiles bitterly thinking of being heroic only to result in her being disabled.

"I felt I can use some skills. I can see my mind still working, I can maybe try telepathy?"
Thinking of this she looks at the two in the room and starts to sends them signals…
-
“What are we going to do?”
“What do you mean what are we going to do? Of course, take care of her, you dimwit? Nay says you take care of your woman like jewels, so use your skills on her” a short man with bulk muscles with Mohawk red hair shout to the man at his side wearing an exquisite violet frilly dress.
“You’re kidding? That’s just a little girl, not my cup of tea, and what do I know of taking care of a little girl? Maybe if you bring me some on those wine-
“Shuddup, you useless boy who only knows how to go under the women's skirt.”
“Now, now that’s just insulting”
“Hey, you two!”
Suddenly the two become stiff and became vigilant. They look everywhere looking for the source of the voice.
“A ghost?”
“Impossible, I have Geralt check every nook of this place, he was sure no ghostly aura or some kind of shit was clinging in this bar.”
“Then who- “
“Sigh, it’s me, the girl in the bed.”
They both look at the girl simultaneously.
“Ghost!”
“…”
“She’s dead and hunting us!”
“Will you two shut up and listen to me for a second?” there was an imaginary black vein on her forehead.
-
After a few minutes, the two finally heard the whole story and nod. They introduce themselves as Zoltan, the dwarf, and the other one as Dandelion the bard.
“So telepathy huh?”
“I heard those charming sorceress can read your minds.”
“Your too young to be one so no, you’re not”
“I’m a witcher”
Both of them stop talking and laugh hard.
“Haha good one lad, if you’re a witcher and I’m the emperor of Nilfgaard.”
“Good little girl, you must be hungry, we wonder if you will ever wake up.”
“What do you mean?”
“Well, it’s been six months since Geralt came here, they stay here in one week but they need to leave for some reason. Sadly, they can’t bring you because of your current condition, so they just left you here and gave us some piece of gold to take care of you. To tell you the truth, we doubt if your still alive after all, your injuries were very serious,”
Joan was still silent trying to absorb that new information.
“Six months?! I’ve been bedridden for six months, I just woke up and I’m not still fully healed?”
She just realized how grave her situation is, she doesn’t even want to know what her actual situation is before six months ago.
She tried to calm down knowing many things happen while she was asleep.
“Can you tell me what’s happening outside then?”
“Sure, but before that, you need to eat.”
Suddenly she asks an important question.
“…Who change my clothes by the way?”
The two chuckle to the nervous tone of the young girl.
“Don’t worry lad, we got a barmaid to change you, we have seen nothing.”
“Ye, as if we are going to look something yet undeveloped right Zoltan?”
“…” Zoltan
"..." Joan
She wishes she can use telepathy to blast someone's brain right now. Suddenly she felt exhausted and fall into the void.
-
When she wakes up again and use her radar skills, she can’t see anyone besides her bed.
She expands her search and sees people below the floor drinking. She must be in a tavern because she can see people ordering a beer. She can’t see the slim one, but the short was currently manning the bar.
“Hello!”
Suddenly Zoltan almost throws the pint to someone’s face. Thankfully, he reacts in time.
“The fuck?” Zoltan frown while giving the customer his order.
“It’s me”
“Oh, the young lad!”
“Yeah”
“How can I help you?”
"You forgot?"
Zoltan gawk then frowns trying to think of what the girl was talking about.
“I want to know what's happening in this kingdom right now.”
“Oh”
“What do you mean “Oh?”
“I thought you have forgotten already, it’s been a week since then.”
If Joan has eyes, she mostly making bulge eye expression right now.
“A week?”
“Yes, you just went back to sleep without warning. We tried to talk to you several times to wake you up, but it's useless.”
“…”
A week? Is that how long she stores energy on her body just enough to use telepathy on anyone? Thinking of this, she almost imagines herself spurting blood right now, she can’t believe her energy was so little that she can’t almost maintain her consciousness.
“Isn’t my skill not working? No, I can guess my veins were damaged that they can’t store energy inside, my regeneration skills were working overtime but it’s not enough without the support of energy. I wonder if the vitality potion will work on me…”
While thinking of this, she decided to ask Zoltan about using potions and try if those potions will improve her faster but…
“We already tried lad, the sorceress that has been taking care of you tried. They heal you with all kind of spell and filled you with a barrel of potions but it doesn’t seem to work. That’s why we thought you were dead but then it happens, you suddenly breathe, you have breathed after the first week for the first time and it was a miracle!”
