The Witcher: Darkness Falls

"Using the flesh and blood of human babies as the main ingredient to brew magic potions seems like black magic no matter how you look at it." Leon walked to the cooking pot and looked at the thing inside that released magical power.

The full name of black magic is dark magic, and its essence is magic.

It's just that the means used are rather cruel, the process makes people feel uncomfortable, and it's too dark, just like the darkness that makes people feel naturally uncomfortable, so it's called black magic.

This type of magic has common characteristics: it is weird, powerful, dangerous, and has serious side effects.

Black magic is forbidden in the world of ordinary people because ordinary people cannot understand it. As long as it is black magic, it is synonymous with evil and means danger to ordinary people.

But for wizards, dark magic is still magic, just more dangerous, and not completely banned.

Not only that, they will also study it secretly.

For example, necromancy is a kind of advanced magic that can make corpses speak, which is usually only known by high-level wizards.

Many times, when a wizard was invited by the king to investigate a murder, he would use necromancy to make the dead person speak out who the murderer was.

This is black magic, but most ordinary people are not aware of it.

But some black magic is forbidden, because these black magics have brought disasters to the world and even wizards themselves are afraid of them.

For example, summoning is not an ordinary summoning, but an advanced summoning technique that summons creatures from other worlds.

After some high-level wizards summoned powerful monsters from other worlds and killed themselves, this type of summoning has been banned.

Even if you know how to use it, you can't use it. Once discovered, you will be attacked by all wizards.

In this case, judging from the ingredients, this pot of potion can definitely be identified as a black magic potion.

And it is just one of the things prepared for resurrecting the two old witches. Needless to say, this magic to resurrect the dead must be black magic.

In order to resurrect her two sisters, the old witch has killed tens of thousands of people. If her sisters are resurrected, more people will probably die.

According to the old witch's notes, in order for a person to be resurrected, he needs something very nourishing to replenish his blood, flesh, and soul.

Judging from the old witch's methods, the tonic they need is probably not an ordinary magic potion, and it is very likely that they will need humans as the medicine inducer.

But now, the three old witch sisters are reunited and have all been dealt with by Leon, so he can be considered to have done a good thing.

"This life pendant is also one of the things that can resurrect the two old witches. It has the function of converting magic into vitality, which is just as I guessed." Leon took out the emerald pendant hanging around his neck.

Then he grabbed the pendant by its lanyard and dropped it into the potion in front of him.

Although the potion in front of him was a black magic potion, he did not kill the person, and he did not make the potion. He also killed the old witch, so he could be considered as avenging the people who were involved in this incident.

Black magic is also magic, why not use it if you can?

The function of the life pendant is to absorb, transform and store life force. Although the notes do not record how the old witch will use the life pendant next, this has nothing to do with Leon.

Lyon now needs life force to repair his injuries.

The palm of his left hand was shattered, which was caused by forcibly casting the Alder Seal.

The Demon Hunter's sigils are weak to begin with, and forcibly injecting magic power beyond its capacity would be harmful to the Demon Hunter himself.

But after drinking the potion one after another, he couldn't control his behavior at all, and bones were visible in some places on his left palm.

He had quite a few wounds on his body, and the explosion of the old witches' magic, plus the foehn bombs he threw, caused him quite a lot of injuries, both internal and external, but he managed to endure it.

Now, he urgently needs treatment.

The healing effect of the life pendant is visible to the naked eye, which is exactly what he needs.

Leon didn't know how the old witch had succeeded, but judging from the scattered records in her notes, she probably killed a lot of people.

However, this has nothing to do with Lyon.

The things were in his hands. He killed the old witch, which was also revenge for the people who died at the hands of the old witch. He felt at ease using the things in it.

As the life pendant fell into the cooking pot, the magical substance inside the pot instantly boiled.

Leon saw a large amount of magical energy being absorbed by the life pendant, and the emerald on the pendant released a dazzling light.

The light was dark green, but it gave Lyon a feeling of vitality.

As the life pendant absorbed the magic, the magic substance in the cooking pot lost its magic. Gradually, this big pot of magic substance turned into a pool of bloody mud.

"This is the material from the cemetery... It looks like those are leftovers." Leon said as he picked up the life pendant.

It is these things that attract the ghouls to the cemetery.

Leon hung the life pendant around his neck. At that moment, green magic power surged out from the pendant and quickly penetrated into Leon's body.

This huge vitality is much stronger than before.

Leon immediately felt the wounds on his body begin to itch, and even said that he felt hungry.

"The body needs food to regenerate. Fortunately, I have prepared some." He quickly took out a large amount of dried meat and bread from the Ether Ring.

These were purchased in the town of Tegamo as food for him while he was hiding in the cemetery, but the old witch showed up earlier than he expected, and there were only about three days' worth of food left.

Leon swallowed in big mouthfuls, using the food to fill his hunger.

If it weren't for these foods, he would have wanted to eat what was in the pot. That thing had only lost its magic, not its nutrients.

The strong smell of blood actually tasted a bit fragrant when it reached Leon's nose.

"How about practicing the Knight's Breathing Technique right now?" Lyon couldn't help but think.

In Styga Castle, he practiced the Knight's Breathing Technique by absorbing green magic.

In the wizarding world, different colors of magic represent different properties. Green often represents vitality, and of course, some mean poison.

But right now, there is definitely hope.

What the knight's breathing method requires is vitality.

Leon immediately sat down on the spot and practiced the Knight's Breathing Technique while eating.

Sure enough, as his breathing frequency changed, his body's absorption of the vitality in the life pendant increased significantly.

Similarly, the healing of his physical injuries was also accelerating. He felt itchy all over and he even saw granulations slowly growing on his palms.

"This life pendant is really good!" Leon thought to himself, and then he devoted himself to the practice of the Knight's Breathing Method.
