Chapter 37: Even Eredin is afraid of his big mouth

Feeling the imminent death, Ciri felt a chill on his spine. Without any hesitation, he immediately activated the power in his body and leaped forward. With a flash of pale cold light, Ciri's body appeared ten meters away in an instant. The hammer missed, and the attacker obviously didn't care much, but walked out of the crack in the space slowly.

"Where can you escape to? Daughter of Space and Time!"

This burly giant was covered in heavy armor, and the war hammer in his hand was as big as a person. A dull voice came from under the strange helmet with holes, full of disdain and arrogance:
"The Wild Hunt is your final destination! Come back with me obediently. I can feel that the magic power in your body has been exhausted in the continuous travel... It's ridiculous that the power of the Ancient Blood can only be used to escape in your hands? But it doesn't matter. The King of the Wild Hunt will properly let you understand your fate!"

As he spoke, Imlerius glanced left and right at the skyscrapers in Manhattan. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes under his armor, but it soon turned into greed and desire.

"Perhaps we will thank you for giving us such a new slave world."

After hearing what Ileris said, Ciri couldn't help but clench her teeth.

Imlerith, the core commander of the Wild Hunt, is the protagonist of Geralt's nightmare in The Witcher 3. Under the order of Eredin, the King of the Wild Hunt, he has been chasing Ciri for a long time. He is a powerful and cruel warrior who has participated in countless wars launched by the Wild Hunt against other worlds.

He advocates death fights and pursues bloody hand-to-hand combat to fight the enemy to the death. He is Eredin's most loyal executioner.

What really made Ciri despair was that during the escape, Eredin took away part of her power, which allowed the Wild Hunt to regain the ability to travel through the world...including Imlerith in front of him.

Although they cannot open rifts in time and space according to their own will like their masters, they can make their attacks hit the opponent's vital parts directly regardless of distance with just a thought.

I was able to dodge it before by using the flash of Ancient Blood, but now... three times? Or twice?

What should I do now that my only chance is gone?
Although he looked like a reckless man, following the orders from the King of the Wild Hunt, Imlerith was now clearly aware that Ciri's physical and mental strength had reached their limits. Therefore, without any intention of being mysterious, Imlerith raised the heavy hammer in his hand and began to accumulate strength.

At the moment when his power reached its peak, Ileris suddenly punched the air in front of him. But at this moment, the crack in space completely enveloped Ileris, and then a gust of evil wind came from behind Ciri.

Having narrowly avoided the heavy hammer using the same method, Ciri turned to the side without any lingering fight, then ran towards the interior of Hell's Kitchen.

The moment she arrived at the streets of Hell's Kitchen, the dazzling neon lights made Ciri cover her eyes subconsciously. When her vision was restored, holding the long sword, Ciri's eyes revealed a trace of confusion - after being taught by the sorceresses, Ciri mastered the ability to travel through the world, and even met the knight Galahad, and went to King Arthur's court at his invitation.

But even in this situation, Ciri had never seen such a bizarre scene - after Ron's team members completed the journey, the system would perform basic cognitive supplements and corrections. But Ciri completely relied on her own ability to cross the world barrier, and traveled from the magical Middle Ages to the present in an instant. Ciri only felt that Hell's Kitchen seemed to be more magical than her hometown.

On the street, seeing Ciri wearing light armor and holding a long sword, several hooligans couldn't help but whistle, and then approached with money in hand: "Haha! What's the new way to play? A heroic female knight?"

After hearing what the gangsters said, the girls on the side also showed unfriendly looks, and cursed in their hearts - this damn little bitch, it’s okay that she has a pretty face, but she also engages in internal competition on equipment and drives up the price, right?
Ignoring the simple folk customs of Hell's Kitchen, and feeling the malice coming from behind, accompanied by the sound of iron boots, Ciri just clenched the sword in her hand and shouted as she ran: "Get out of here! It's the Wild Hunt! The Wild Hunt is coming!"

It's no wonder Ciri said that, because there are legends of the Wild Hunt in many worlds - in addition to the celestial world connected to the world of the Witcher, even the Earth of the Marvel Universe itself has legends about the Wild Hunt in Northern Europe.

In folklore, the Wild Hunt is an ominous sign that heralds the coming of war. They will march across the night sky in groups under the leadership of the King of the Wild Hunt, accompanied by lightning, thunder, ghostly howls and nightmares. In this terrifying parade, people's souls and bodies will be taken away, and they will not be able to return home until the world changes.

In the past, when Ciri shouted this sentence, regardless of whether people believed in the existence of the legend or not, they would more or less be on guard and prepare to escape.

The folks in Hell's Kitchen were obviously not ordinary simple people. After hearing this, not only were they not afraid, but the gangsters in the lead even sneered and pretended to rush up to hold Ciri down:
"Ha! There's a plot? That's right, I am the Wild Hunt. Let my Wild Hunt gun teach you what true happiness is..."

Before the leading young man could finish his words, accompanied by a roar of wind, a heavy solid war hammer smashed the three people who were ready to make a move into pieces - their legs were still standing in place, but their upper bodies were smashed into flying meat paste by the war hammer almost in an instant.

Pale bones mixed with scarlet flesh and blood, mixed with broken organs, were scattered all over the ground.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene. But Imleris didn't care at all. He just stretched his neck and put the hammer back on his shoulder, saying with disdain:

"Daughter of Time and Space, it seems that you have chosen a cowardly world. They have even forgotten what blood tastes like... Don't worry, they will become slaves of the Wild Hunt just like you!!"

Seeing the brutality of Ileris, the originally busy streets suddenly became silent and then burst into screams. People rushed to run away from Ileris. Ileris had no interest in these weak and incompetent people. He looked at Ciri and rushed forward.

"I want to see how many times you can dodge!"

As he spoke, Ileris's muscles bulged, and he used the same trick to smash the things in front of him. Seeing this, Ciri also gritted her teeth and fled in the direction where there were fewer people.

He dodged three attacks in a row, but just as Imlerith was about to attack again, a hint of fear appeared in Ciri's eyes.

The magic power in the body has been exhausted, and just as Ciri gritted her teeth, trying to squeeze out her potential, teleporting again, and coming back to find Geralt, accompanied by a dull sound, Imlerith, who was ready to go, was like being hit by a heavy hammer, and his huge body flew towards the house beside him with a buzzing sound.

Accompanied by a shrill noise, when Ciri looked up, she saw a man in leather clothes and with a slight smell of blood appearing in front of her.

And behind that man...

"Father!"

Hearing Ciri calling him father, Geralt's eyes revealed a mixture of surprise and complex emotions.

Although Geralt is Ciri's nominal father, as mentioned before, witchers do not have the ability to reproduce. The reason why Geralt became Ciri's adoptive father is because Geralt once helped Donny, the lover of Princess Pavetta of Cintra, escape from crisis.

Duny wanted to give Geralt something in return. So Geralt asked Duny to give him something he already had but didn't know about as a reward according to the law of accidents. It happened that the princess was pregnant but Duny didn't know about it, so the unborn child of the princess and Duny should belong to Geralt. Although Geralt didn't take Ciri away at that time, fate still made the two closely connected.

It is also because of this that, although Ciri has repeatedly declared Geralt to be her father and Yennefer to be her mother, in private, Ciri has never called Geralt father or dad. Most of the time, she calls Geralt by his name. While being father and daughter, they actually give people the feeling of a complex friendship that includes partners, friends, mentors, and so on.

Thinking of this, Geralt sighed, then walked forward to help Ciri up, and said with a look of self-blame: "I'm sorry, Ciri, because I left without saying goodbye..."

"That's not what's important right now! We have to leave here immediately!" Looking at Geralt's self-blaming eyes, Ciri didn't have time to care about the trivial matters of addressing him, but quickly said:

"The Wild Hunt has set its sights on this world. We must find a way to leave!"

It is no wonder that Ciri is so worried. In the past, Ciri traveled through countless worlds to avoid the Wild Hunt. Similarly, she also witnessed countless worlds covered by "white frost" and turned into a dead and pale white.

And now...

Feeling Ciri's panic, Geralt's expression was a little strange. Then he glanced at Ron beside him, and recalled what Ron had told him about the strength of the guy called Ancient One.

After coughing twice, Geralt said with a strange expression: "Perhaps, they should be the ones to escape..."

"Ok?"

After hearing Geralt's answer, Ciri was a little confused. In response, Ron shook his head with a little displeasure between his brows. He stared at the direction of Ileris for a while, and after a moment of silence, Ron also shook his head, then looked at the empty space beside him and said:

"If you're here, just come out. Are you afraid of him?"

In the corner, after a brief silence, Daredevil Lawyer Ma also walked out of the alley hesitantly. Facing Ron's gaze, he pointed at himself and said uncertainly: "Uh... me?"

"It's not you."

Ron waved his hand and continued to stare at the air in front of him.

A moment later, a golden ring emerged from space in front of Ron.

Unlike the cracks that were created when Ciri and Ileris jumped through space, this ring was very regular, as if it had been carefully cut. And it was very stable, unlike Ciri, who needed to jump in immediately, otherwise it would be cut into two parts due to the correction force of the space itself.

Although complete, the portal to that space was not very large, only the size of two palms. In the late night in Manhattan, it revealed the clear snowy day on the other side of the earth and the old face of Ancient One.

"You discovered me last time, but I didn't expect you to be discovered again this time. It seems that your perception of space is very sharp."

After hearing what Gu Yi said, Ron said indifferently: "It's okay. I got hold of these miscellaneous things by chance... So, why are you here? Are you going to do it yourself?"

"No, I just felt that there was a problem with the space anchor point. I didn't expect it to be a small character. It's not worth my effort." As he said this, Gu Yi rubbed his head helplessly and said:

"I'll leave this to you. The main course will be in the back, I need to go prepare it... Hey, Eternal God, why was I assigned to this garbage can world..."

While complaining, Gu Yi closed the space portal in front of him.

Before the portal was completely closed, Ron saw another bald man in yellow clothes walking towards Ancient One.

"..."

Two Ancient Ones?

Ron blinked when he saw the face that was exactly the same as the Ancient One in the movie.

There are two Ancient Ones in this world? One male and one female? What the hell?

Feeling puzzled, but the space door had been closed, Ron could only roll his eyes helplessly - he would go back and ask later.

On the other side, standing up from the rubble and looking at Ron, Ileris snorted coldly, holding his warhammer and said indifferently: "Very good... It seems that there are still strong people in this world."

"But it doesn't matter - either surrender or die!"

Hearing this, Ron's eyes also showed a hint of amazement, and encouraged:
"Thanos and Dormammu combined are not as arrogant as you."

As he spoke, Ron also looked at Daredevil Matt beside him, then pointed at Ileris and said:
"He wants to enslave you. As the landlord of Hell's Kitchen, shouldn't you take care of this unreasonable guy?"

Hearing this, Matt didn't quite understand what was going on. He said:

"Well... let me try it then."
