But the main path called. It always did.
He stepped through the portal.
The King of the Wild Hunt fell to his knees. Frost evaporated from his armor. His mask cracked.
“How?” Eredin gasped.
“Someone had to find that old woman’s frying pan,” Geralt replied, drawing both swords.
The “Jogo Base,” as the bards had begun calling it—the Foundation Game—was drawing to a close. Every contract fulfilled, every monster slain in the base version of his life was merely a prelude to this: the final confrontation with Eredin, King of the Wild Hunt.

“No more DLC,” Geralt muttered to Roach. “No more treasure hunts. Just us, the sword, and the bastard in the bone mask.”
Three months had passed since he’d found Ciri at the Isle of Mists. Three months since the Battle of Kaer Morhen claimed Vesemir.

“You delayed,” Eredin said, his voice echoing like a tomb door closing. “I expected you months ago. Did the little errands distract you, Witcher?” The King of the Wild Hunt fell to his knees
Eredin swung his blade overhead. Geralt sidestepped, drove his silver sword up through a gap in the king’s ribs, and twisted.
Geralt of Rivia tightened his silver sword’s grip. The wind howled through the swamps of Velen, carrying the stench of rotting flesh and wet dog. He wasn’t hunting a drowners or a grave hag tonight. He was hunting a ghost.
