Elder Blood Witcher - 765 Unjolly Mechanisation

….

What’s that?….

A short, fat creature with red skin and pink hair waddles out of a building and runs towards the purple shield that’s keeping most of the monsters at bay… Shit, it’s a civilian!

He shoots down and hits the floor like a meteorite, causing the civilian to stop.

“W-what!?”

Reima stands and restrains his aura in-order to not harm them with his mere presence alone. “What the fuck do you think you’re doing!?! THIS IS A WARZONE, GO TO THE BUNKER!”

The civilian scowls at him, “I know you, “King” Reima! We talked on the phone not longer ago! I am Ironia, the Monster Equality Activist!”

Reima facepalm, “Oh, for fuck sake… Do you WANT to die!?!” he exclaims.

Ironia “You are committing genocide you pig! I’LL SHOW YOU THAT THESE PEOPLE CAN BE CIVILISED!” they shout and begin running/waddling towards the shield…

Reima “Oh… Noo… Someone stop them…” he says, glancing around to see if there was anyone around… No? Then he’ll just pretend he didn’t see anything…

Ironia “I’m here to save you all! You don’t need to attack our city to gain equal rights anymore! I am your champion!” they shout, leaving the shield and immediately being grabbed by two Plumards, the dog-sized bat creatures salivating as they prepare to bite into her.

Ironia “W-what are you doing? I know you’re happy I’m here but-AHHHHH!” they scream as a chunk of flesh is bitten off from their arm. “GET OFF, GET OFF, SOMEONE HELP!” they shout, running for the shield…

…

Reima sighs, teleporting up to her and slicing off the Plumards, “Do you understand now!?! Now get to the fucking bunker!” he shouts, Ironia rapidly nodding with tears streaking down her face… Hand-pressed on her new wound as she runs off.

He flares his aura yet again, ready to continue the fight when he notices something atop one of the outer building of Ichor… Something glowing blue. On closer inspection he could spot Alphys and Rickert standing next to a box…

*Flash!*

Reima “What’re you two doing? I thought these weren’t ready to be used yet?” he quickly asks, he’s still needed in the battle.

Rickert/Alphys “Eeek!” they both squeak at his sudden entrance, Rickert pointing what looks like a small firearm as Alphys readies a Heavy Soul Arrow…

Rickert “Ah, Reima? Thank the sun, I thought it was one of those beasts.

Alphys “Ah about the gun… I think it’s functional! We’ve tweaked it and it should work!”

They both nod and Rickert pulls out a switch, “Observe!” he exclaims, pressing teh big red button which activates the gun, the barrel of it popping out of the box and immediately aiming at the vampires held back by the shield.

*duuuuuUUUUUUUU!*

*PEEEEWW!*

A blue laser is fired from the barrel, causing the box to move due to the kickback… It’s accurate, the laser smashes into the group of lesser vampires, killing them instantly.

Alphys and Rickert both jump and high five, congratulating each other on a fine weapon…

…

*Craaaaack*

Crack-like splinters start forming in the purple shield surrounding the town… The duo have neutral expression, with the exception of their eyes which are bulging out of their sockets as they watch the cracks travel across the entirety of the shield…

*SHATTER!*

All at once, the shield breaks, purple shards beginning to rain down and disappear. Over atop Kaer Morhen Yennefer, Keira, Logan, and Griggs eyes all roll to the back of their heads as they pass out, the destruction of their spell providing a huge back-lash.

Reima could sense from here with his Observation Haki that they’d gone unconscious… Sending a furious glare down at Rickert and Alphys.

…

Rickert “Ah, oh wow, who’d have known that this would happen!?! Ha..ha….ha….” he says scratching the back of his head.

Alphys nods, “Yes… What a surprising outcome… If only someone had warned us, haha…ha…”

Reima “We will be discussing this if you survive the battle.” he gravely states, as he teleports into the sky to combat the airborne threat as the rest of the Vampire army on the ground charges into Ichor.

Arie and Eskel had just finished off the Katakan that were attacking them and turned their gazes to the front lines… Just as the shield shatters and allows the horde of vampires to charge at them.

Arie “Why do we even fucking bother!”

Lambert “This isn’t part of the plan!!!” he shouts, dropping into a stance and preparing for the horde to reach them.

Fortunately for the Witchers, the ambushes that’d previously been set up were prepared just for such an occasion…

Just as the vampire horde enters the street of Ichor, many shadows atop the buildings make themselves known by raining fire down at them.

Risryn stands next to Quelaag as Quelana commands the Chaos Servants to attack. Fire envelopes the street, killing all of the lesser vampires and heavily injuring the Higher ones. Luckily the buildings of Ichor were almost entirely made from stone, allowing such tactics to be used without also burning down the city.

The Higher Vampires caught in the fire look up at the rooftops and begin transforming into their true forms, using their wings to fly up and attempt to attack them… Only for Risryn to throw her arm out and shout, “Prospects, attack!”

With that, the Prospects leap off of the rooftops and onto the Higher Vampires, using their silver blades to cut deep wounds into their flesh. Though, most Prospects who manage to land a blow on them are sliced or torn apart.
