Rumble...

Bursts of thunder and explosions came from somewhere in the castle from time to time, making people feel terrified.

Throughout the castle, Black Eagle Shadow Guards dressed in black, led by a bald man, slaughtered Gray Owl's mercenaries to pieces.

However, their purpose was not to kill the enemies in the castle, but to find Ciri.

But except for the marble statues on both sides of the corridor, no one knows that in this hidden corridor, their target is fighting a life-and-death showdown with their own fear...

Clang clang clang!

The sound of gold and iron clashing filled this corridor whose ground had collapsed.

Ciri, who knew the strength of the bounty hunter extremely well and wanted to kill him in her dreams, summed up her previous experience and did not confront him head-on. Instead, she chose to take a different approach and jumped onto the floor beam with a very small space to fight with him.

The traveling fight.

It was precisely because of the narrow and dangerous environment that forced the bounty hunter to pay attention to his footing that Ciri was able to fight Bonnet, who was stronger than herself.

It even caused harm to Bonnet for the first time...

Looking at the sword mark on his left arm, Bonnet raised his left hand and found a bright red blood line slowly flowing down.

"Oh, that's good. You finally learned your lesson and started to grow..."

Although Bonnet's voice trembled slightly due to rage. But Shirley knew him too well. Bonnet was calm and focused, and was ready to kill.

Suddenly, he jumped onto the same beam as Ciri, turned the sword in his hand, and attacked the girl like a storm.

He was so confident that he didn't even look down, letting the beams creak and dust scatter downwards.

The bounty hunter looked ferocious and kept launching fierce attacks, forcing her to keep retreating.

The attack was so violent and ruthless that Ciri was unable to jump or spin to avoid it. She could only try to block or dodge backwards.

While waving the sword, he did not forget to use words to disturb the girl's mind:

"This is your end, my princess!"

"After killing you, I will kill your sorceress and the demon hunter who came to save the sorceress!"

"And you can't do anything!"

From the flashing dead fish eyes, Shirley could see that Bonnet planned to push her to the edge of the cliff, and then go back to the cliff.

In an instant, she suddenly realized that she should do something.

For myself, for Yennefer, and for Geralt!

Geralt...

In an instant, the picture in her mind suddenly returned to the past, back to the time when she was a child in Kaer Morhen, battling wits and courage with the pendulum on the edge of the cliff.

The white-haired demon hunter's teachings echoed clearly in my ears:

"What you have to do is not to ward off the pendulum, but to ward off yourself. You have to use its power to attack. Do you understand?"

"I understand, Geralt."

With a sharp look in his eyes, Xili suddenly launched a counterattack like a cobra preying on prey.

The "Swift" in her hand cut through the air, and when it hit Bonnet's long sword, she used the feedback impact to jump onto the beam next to her.

She staggered, and after miraculously stabilizing her body, she jumped up again lightly, jumped back to the beam where Bonnet was, and appeared behind him.

Even if he turned around in time, the result of his hasty slashing was that the sword blade missed the girl's body!

The inertia made him lose his footing and slightly exposed his flaws!

Ciri, on the other hand, seized this only opportunity without hesitation, knelt down, twisted her wrist, and changed the thrust into a slash.

The blade of the sword, glowing with cold light, passed through the abdomen and took away a piece of blood.

His body froze, Bonnet lowered his head and looked down.

When he saw the long, straight, flat cut on his jacket, blood slowly oozing out, his voice began to tremble:

"you you..."

From his voice, she finally heard a hint of panic and fear.

Easily dodging the bounty hunter's clumsy blow, Ciri saw Bonnet losing his balance and falling down to the corridor on the next floor.

With a "bang" sound, large amounts of dust and dust were thrown up, as well as splashes of blood, which mixed together, leaving a coquettish color on the floor.

Shirley just looked down quietly at this man who was still scary even though he was seriously injured. He put his hands on the ground and tried to move his body towards the wall.

While he was stroking and groping for his bloody abdomen, Shirley jumped down as lightly as a cat and landed on the ground a few feet away from him.

Looking at the sword in the girl's hand, the bounty hunter said in a hoarse voice:

"You win... Witcher. It's a pity that we are not in the arena, there will definitely be a full house..."

Shirley didn't answer, just looked at him quietly.

"I gave you that sword, remember?"

"I remember everything."

Of course she will never forget who killed everyone in the Mouse Gang; who threw her into a cruel and bloody arena and fought to the death like a beast; and who chased her until she left this world.

..

"You won't kill me, right? You won't do that... you won't hurt someone who can't defend themselves... I know you too well, Xiao Xili... because you are too... noble

..."

Hearing this, Xili just glanced at him coldly, then turned around and prepared to leave.

And at that moment, the bounty hunter moved!

He took out a dagger and rushed towards her cunningly and viciously. His movements were like a ghost, not as clumsy as he looked just now.

However, Xili seemed to have expected it, and turned around to avoid the despicable sneak attack.

Immediately afterwards, she jumped to the side, held the sword with both hands, exerted force on her waist, and struck out a powerful blow that she had never seen before!

Accompanied by the "swish" sound, the subtle sound of the sword blade grazing the skin easily took away the blood and life.

All Bonnet could do was to hold his throat tightly and try to slow down the flow of life force.

The pair of dead fish eyes were wide open, as if protruding from the sockets, and gradually became lifeless...

"I told you, I remember everything."

After that, Shirley just stood in front of him, looking directly at this man who was like the embodiment of inner fear, and slowly watched him die bit by bit.

She wanted to ensure that the scene Bonnet saw before his death would accompany him into the endless darkness; she also wanted to make Bonnet understand that it was the rat who had sworn to kill him.

Help the girl and take away his life with your own hands!

With a quick gasp of breath like a flashback, finally, the man who forced Shiri to grow up quickly came to the end of his life.
Chapter completed!
