The Witcher: Darkness Falls

"However, with such a large cell, the amount of magic power consumed should also be huge, right?"

Lyon looked elsewhere.

This magic circle has a large coverage area, almost covering the entire cave.

Not only that, it's also powerful.

Not only can it establish isolation and trap people who stray into it, it can also produce a terrifying suppressive effect on the target, and will also stimulate the emotions of the monsters inside, making them even more powerful.

Such a comprehensive and powerful magic circle cannot be maintained for long without the support of a powerful source of magic power.

The power of a magic circle is maintained by magic power. The stronger the magic circle, the more magic power it requires.

The same goes for magic.

Therefore, Leon did not try to break the magic circle, and he did not have the ability to do so.

He just needs to wait and keep an eye on the condition of the zombie cell in front of him.

Ghoul cells themselves are not dangerous; they are merely nests that breed ghouls.

The real danger is the ghouls that linger around the nest and serve as the cell's guards.

Leon has already dealt with the zombie, so this cell is no longer in any danger for the time being.

He looked at the huge cell in front of him, and suddenly found a bulge at a contracted production opening.

"Is it a difficult birth?" Lyon walked forward and looked at the birthing opening in front of him.

He saw a layer of flesh membrane fluttering, and it seemed that something inside was trying to break through this layer of flesh membrane.

Moreover, the area around the birth opening was swollen and cracked, and foul-smelling pus flowed out from these cracks.

Leon didn't hesitate and stabbed the bulge with his sword.

Roar--

A low roar came from inside the bulge, and the flesh membrane flipped more violently.

Lyon stabbed continuously, and finally the bump stopped moving.

"What's in there? It's so big!"

He swung his sword to cut open the flesh membrane, and then he saw a monster whose appearance was very different from that of a ghoul lying weakly on the cell body.

The monster's body was red, and there were soft bone spurs on its head and exposed back.

"Giant Ghoul!" Leon recognized the monster that was being nurtured in the cell.

Giant ghouls are mutants of ghouls that are larger, stronger, and faster.

More importantly, the giant ghoul possesses a certain intelligence and can command nearby ghouls to launch planned attacks.

If the ghoul tribe is compared to a wolf pack, the giant ghoul is the leader of the pack.

However, such zombies are relatively rare. After all, mutation is a matter of probability and may also be related to the size of the cell body.

The cell in front of him was so huge that he was not surprised that it could give birth to a giant zombie.

However, malnutrition caused the giant zombie to have a difficult birth, and was then killed by him.

If he had been in command of this giant zombie just now, it would have been much more difficult for him to win the battle.

As the giant zombie died, the beating cells began to weaken like a deflated ball.

Soon, Leon felt that the magic's suppression on him was getting weaker and weaker, his strength was gradually recovering, and the magic circle could no longer hold on.

Finally, the purple light dissipated and the entire cave returned to darkness.

However, this did not have much impact on Leon. He glanced at the dead cell and turned his attention elsewhere.

Since it has been confirmed that this place was deliberately set up by a wizard, there should be other entrances here.

He looked around but found nothing, not even a hidden mechanism.

“Is it possible that it is set up very secretly, or requires magic to activate?” Leon frowned.

He looked around, and finally his gaze fell back on the ghoul cell.

In the entire cave, the zombie cell occupied a large area. He had checked other places except the area covered by this cell.

After the cell body died, the body began to calcify and harden. His Alder Seal could not shatter it, and the Inig Seal did not work either.

Once the calcification is complete, it will become a large rock, which will be more difficult to destroy.

"It seems that the only option is to use bombs." Leon thought to himself.

He stepped forward and decomposed the corpse of the ghoul. According to Sicori's notes, the corpses of any monster were treasures.

Many of the things that can restrain these monsters are made from raw materials taken from these monsters.

At the same time, their flesh, blood, bones, etc. can be made into different types of potions. Although disgusting, they are extremely effective.

Leon separated and collected the blood and brains of the ghouls and giant ghouls, and threw them all into the Aether Ring.

Finally, he cut off a ghoul's head as proof of killing it, then turned and left the cave.

It was already dark outside. Leon found his horse and rode back to the pharmacy at full speed.

"Damn it! Why aren't you sleeping so late at night... Oh, it's you, what's wrong?" The drugstore owner opened the door cursing, only to see that it was Leon standing outside.

Sniff!

Sniff!

He stretched out his nose and sniffed at Leon, and Leon's facial features twisted when he saw him.

"What's going on? What's that smell on you?" The pharmacy owner stared at Leon nervously. He smelled blood.

"Of course it's blood." Leon said, lifting up the ghoul's head, "But it's not human."

"Oh! Damn! What the hell is this thing!" The drugstore owner was so scared that he stepped back and tripped over the table leg and fell.

Leon walked into the house carrying the zombie's head and closed the door.

He placed the ghoul's head on the table, its crown half open, like a urinal.

"I have killed the monster lingering around the cemetery. Now come and take what I want." Leon said coldly.

The drugstore owner got up and looked at Leon timidly, but Leon lowered his head slightly, his face expressionless under the firelight.

The drugstore owner plucked up the courage to step forward and look at the hideous head in front of him.

He swallowed and said, "This...is this the monster?"

"To be precise, it's a zombie," said Leon.

The drugstore owner took a moment to calm down.

He looked at Leon with a complicated expression and said, “I thought you wouldn’t go, but I didn’t expect you to actually do it. You are really a lunatic!”

Leon ignored his teasing and just asked, “Where’s the thing you promised me?”

The pharmacy owner stood up, dragged a large backpack behind him and said, "Of course, it's ready, but I want to remind you that some of the things in here are very dangerous. If...if anything goes wrong, it has nothing to do with me.

Our store adheres to the business principle of not being responsible after leaving the store, do you understand?"

Leon took the heavy backpack, nodded and said, "Thank you."

After saying that, he stood up and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, uh... could you please take this thing away? It's pretty creepy." The drugstore owner stopped him, "Fortunately, have all those monsters really been dealt with?"

"Yes. If you're worried, I can take you to see it." Leon turned around and picked up the zombie head and said.

The drugstore owner smiled awkwardly, shook his head and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "No, I'm just confirming. I'll feel relieved once everything is resolved."

Leon said nothing, turned around and rode away into the night.

"Who is this guy? He's so awesome!" The drugstore owner murmured as he watched Leon leave.
