"That won't be a problem," the witcher says, desert-dry, and nods to the swamp. "Let's go."

Maybe the only good thing about fiends is that their large size makes them easy to spot. Of course, it also makes them annoyingly difficult to kill, and gives them a real advantage when it comes to fighting. In this case, he hears the fiend and sees its immense shape materializing out of the gloom at almost the same time, then signals to Lan Wangji. "Watch out," he mutters. "They move faster than you'd think for such big creatures."

So saying, he shifts to the side, away from Lan Wangji, and raises his voice. "Hey! Over here!"

The fiend – right now looking more like a small hillock in the fog than a living creature, raises its head up... and up... and up. It towers over them, as tall as a hut, its many-branching horns like an old oak tree. Seeing the witcher, it bellows a challenge, paws angrily at the earth, and charges, each wickedly sharp prong aimed towards his gut.
