513 Breach

With one final Navigator sacrifice the Golem manages to thrust it's broken body at the gate, falling through it with a loud crash, the shattering of frozen wood and iron deafening those on the wall. Reima looks behind him at the destroyed gate and frowns before turning and glaring at the army that's now slowly approaching, hoping to make their way into the keep by the broken gate.

The Flame Guard rush down into the courtyard and plant their tower shields where the gate had been, Geralt and the other Witchers also making their way down to prepare for the enemies coming in. Ciaran and Sif stand to the side, ready to pounce on anyone stupid enough to enter the walls.

Everyone who didn't have another task was ready for the Wild Hunt, however Reima simply stood in-front of the gate with the Staff of Manus in his hand glowing an ominous dark red, the embers being emitted from it following the wind and flying away behind him.

Solaire jumps from the wall after telling Priscilla to stay out of the battlefield and lands next to Reima, "Is it finally time to fight my friend?" he asks as his golden blade begins to crackle with yellow lightning.

Reima shrugs, "To be honest, I wasn't expecting them to be able to breach the walls... But yes, let's just end it." he says while giving a fist pump to Solaire.

Around a thousand heavily armoured Wild Hunt soldiers slowly walk out of the forest in formation, the shield wall looking like a solid block of steel.

Rhea and the Chaos Servants behind the duo start to cheer as the feeling of static electricity expands from Solaire, his body crackles as electricity sparks from his body and to the floor.

Solaire "I will claim the highest count! Praise the sun!" he shouts as he suddenly rockets towards the wall, a sparking crater being left where he previously stood.

Reima "You didn't beat me in the Catamomb's, Izalith or the First Flame! Today won't be any different!" he calls from behind as he sprints ahead, still not daring to release his aura for fear of harming his allies. However, those soldiers look like they'd make fine Abyssal Servants.

Eredin watches as a lightning bolt shaped as a man impacts his men, sending those hit directly flying away, their mangled bodies still crackling lethally with electricity. He has no idea who these two men are but is shocked when the other one holding a staff disappears with a familiar Turquoise flash! "Elder Blood!" he shouts.

Reima appears behind the formation and uses uses Humanity to empower his Staff's axe head, the black ooze-like substance drips from the blade as he buries it into the back of an unfortunate Wild Hunt soldier, they are crushed under it's weight but instantly start having a seizure as the Humanity invades the wound. A nearby soldier swings at him but he simply grabs the blade and snaps it like a twig, then proceeding to send a kick to their head which causes it to explode into red mist and metal fragments.

Reima retrieves Kalameet, previously known as the Obsidian Greatsword and swings it while utilising it's unique ability, sending black flames spewing over a large group of soldiers, they immediately panic and begin to frantically get the flames off but it's no good as they succumb to them not too soon after.

Solaire continues his path of destruction through the formation, his golden sword splitting into fragments and becoming like a whip of lightning as it cuts many men in twain. A few Navigators manage to hit him with some frost spells while he's distracted but as if he's clicking his neck he shrugs it off like nothing, pointing his blade to the sky and summoning a huge lightning bolt onto their position which causes them and the ground to explode violently.

However, even as the duo lay a waste to the Wild Hunt's forces their objective remains the same, retrieve the girl. The hounds attempt to breach the Flame Guard tower shields but simply bounce off of them as they had already cast "Iron Skin" and were too heavy for even a giant to move.

The Pyromancers on the walls killed the hounds but the soldiers still marched forwards, eventually reaching the tower shields and attempting to breach them, only to find the action like trying to squeeze blood from a stone! A few climb and jump over, only to find themselves inside the giant maw of Sif or instantly being cut down by the Witchers, Pyreblade's and others present.

Triss who had begun casting a spell when the gate had gone down finally finishes and sends fireballs raining from the sky into the forest, the action hopefully killing a few of the Navigators still bringing reinforcements in and maybe even Eredin.

Unfortunately Caranthir is present to shield himself and the King from the bombardment, however a few more of the Navigators are killed by it, serious reducing how many troops they can continue to bring.

On the wall Priscilla continues to shoot Dragon Slayer Great Arrows at the Navigators she can see, she's already killed quite a number of them but feels as if she'd be a better help present in the battle, regardless she'll listen to her brothers words and stay where it's safe. Quelaag who's next to her sharing a similar sentiment, knowing that she simply wasn't as strong as Reima or Solaire.

Of course everyone else watching the battle was amazed and horrified by the strength, abilities and brutality shown by Reima and Solaire. Even if it was to their benefit. Dumbledore is the shaken by the sight of thousands dying, even if what he was told about the enemy was true it was still a travesty that this event was actually occurring.
