The Witcher: Darkness Falls

The werewolf was extremely fast and in the blink of an eye he had rushed into the shadow of the woods nearby.

When Leon looked over there, he could not see anything, only a foul smell in the air.

Leon stepped forward cautiously, sword in hand.

Although his night vision is very strong, it does not mean that he can see clearly even in dark corners.

The mutation potion only made him much stronger than a normal person, but he was still not as strong as a real monster.

But it didn't matter, he had the potion.

While Leon was alertly looking around, he reached into his bag with his left hand and took out a small bottle of potion.

Cat, a support potion.

Demon Hunters can see clearly at night, thanks to their mutated eyes.

Their mutated pupils are like those of animals, and can capture more subtle light at night, allowing them to see the surroundings clearly.

After drinking the cat, the demon hunter can use the power of magic to greatly improve his field of vision.

Even in complete darkness, you can see everything around you clearly thanks to the cat.

He pushed the cap off with his thumb and then swallowed the potion in one gulp.

The potion took effect immediately after entering the body.

Leon's expression became extremely hateful, and the blood vessels on his face began to swell, eventually concentrating around his eyes.

"Cuckoo..."

A strange sound came from Leon's throat, his eyes widened, and the scene in front of him changed at this moment.

All the trees, insects, and even the wind blowing in the forest had outlines.

Their outlines were outlined by a circle of blurred yellow lines, and everything within the outlines became translucent.

Everything becomes extremely clear within fifty meters, and you can get a general idea of ​​what's happening even beyond fifty meters.

And the most important thing is that he can see through things within ten meters.

The moment he drank the potion, he saw the werewolf's location.

While he was drinking the medicine, the other party rushed over and was less than three meters away from him, behind a big tree.

The werewolf thought it could take advantage of the cover to launch a sneak attack on Leon, but it miscalculated.

The moment it pounced on him, Leon dodged the attack of its sharp teeth and claws by leaning sideways, and struck it with a sword with his backhand.

The sword struck the werewolf's solid back but did not break its fur, only causing it to scream in pain.

The werewolf turned around, baring his fangs and preparing to attack again.

However, it found that the guy in front of it seemed different, and even made a weird laugh at it.

"Ha ha……"

The blood vessels around Leon's eyes twisted and bulged like maggots, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

He launched the attack without waiting for the werewolf to make a move.

Leon rushed forward, waving his steel sword and chopped it down vertically at the werewolf's face.

The werewolf was caught off guard and hit by the sword, leaving a scar on its face. It was very angry and roared and swung its claws to attack Leon.

Leon let out a strange cry and jumped to the side, then swung his sword horizontally towards the werewolf's abdomen.

Although the attack hit its target, it still did not cut its skin. It only made it scream in pain and then go crazy.

Both of them roared and attacked each other.

After taking the potion, Leon's vision was no longer obstructed, and he had a great advantage in speed.

But again, potions have side effects.

Although cats can give his night vision a terrifying improvement, they also produce a toxin.

This toxin causes his strength to decrease, as it affects the nerve recruitment ability of the muscles.

But dealing with the werewolf was not a big problem, as Leon had never thought that he could kill the opponent with a steel sword.

Although he had never come into contact with a werewolf, Sicori's notes detailed how to deal with them.

Moreover, Sikori himself has hunted many werewolves. He even trapped a werewolf and witnessed the whole process of the werewolf transforming from a human to a werewolf, and then killed it.

Therefore, he has a unique understanding of how to kill a werewolf.

In his notes, he mentioned that the origin of werewolves might come from a curse, or they might be monsters that came into this world through the intersection of the celestial spheres.

But after hundreds and thousands of years of development, they have become a race.

They are just like humans in normal times, and even they themselves don’t know what is going on.

But the genes in their bodies are very different from those in humans.

Sikori calls it the werewolf gene.

People with werewolf genes can turn into werewolves under special circumstances.

For example, a full moon night.

Sikori didn't know what force could induce the werewolf gene to be activated, but he was sure that werewolves could mate with ordinary people and give birth to offspring in human state.

Their offspring will inevitably carry the werewolf gene, and then may be activated one day in the future, turning into werewolves.

After becoming a werewolf, most people will lose their self-awareness and become a monster with a violent personality.

However, there are a few werewolves who can be controlled and even transform into werewolves without any conditions.

Werewolves possess great strength, speed, and terrifying recovery abilities, and they are even immune to most magical attacks.

However, they are extremely afraid of silver products, and even being close to silver products can weaken their strength and make them weak.

Therefore, the most effective way to deal with werewolves is to attack with silver products, or to apply special sword oil mixed with silver powder on the steel sword.

Leon didn't know that the monster he was going to face was a werewolf, so he didn't prepare the corresponding sword oil.

But fortunately, he has a silver sword, which he inherited from Sikori.

But it's not in my hand now.

Roar--

The werewolf howled and slapped down with one claw.

Leon was hit in the chest and flew backwards.

Fortunately, the light armor he was wearing worked well and prevented his chest from being scratched.

But the werewolf's claw also made him feel very uncomfortable. His chest felt like it was hit by a hammer, causing extreme pain, and his steel was also knocked off.

Leon endured the severe pain and immediately turned over to avoid the werewolf's next attack.

He took out a dagger, jumped up on all fours, and knocked the werewolf to the ground.

roar-

The werewolf yelled, and Leon stretched out his left hand and placed his forearm across in front of him to block its big mouth.

When the werewolf bit his forearm, Leon immediately felt an excruciating pain as if his forearm was about to break.

But he had no choice. While the werewolf's mouth was controlled, he grinned and inserted the dagger directly into the werewolf's left eye.

Ow—

A scream was heard, and the werewolf kicked his legs hard, sending Leon flying.

At this moment, Leon's light armor was completely shattered, and even his abdomen was cut by the werewolf's sharp claws, leaving two shallow wounds, and blood immediately flowed out.

But that's still good, he wasn't disemboweled.

Leon got up, picked up the steel sword and was about to rush forward again.

A dagger was stuck in the werewolf's eye, and he immediately became extremely crazy.

It howled and waved its claws around, making it impossible for Leon to get close to it.

At this moment, a crazy idea popped into Lyon's mind.

He wanted to use the Igni Sign to burn the werewolf to death. Even though this would set the entire forest on fire, he didn't think it was a big deal.

However, just as he had this thought, he heard the dwarf's shouting from behind.

"Lyon! I've caught up with you! I brought the silver sword, how do you use it?" Jeraka ran in the dark following the sound of fighting.

He saw Leon standing on one side with a steel sword in his hand, while on the other side, the werewolf was attacking everywhere like crazy.

Jeraka's instinctive reaction was to move closer to Leon, and he did not notice anything unusual about Leon.

But he soon discovered it, because when he got closer, Leon suddenly swung his sword at him.

The dwarf was obviously frightened by Leon's action, but fortunately his axe was big enough, and he immediately used the axe blade as a shield to block it.

Keng——

Sparks flew.

"Leon, it's me, Jeraka, I'm not a monster, what are you doing!" Jeraka shouted.

Leon recognized Jeraka, but he couldn't control the urge to kill.

For a moment, he even turned his sword against his friend!

"Don't come near me!" Leon uttered the words with difficulty. He turned around, only to find that the werewolf had run away.

Lyon chased after him, but he couldn't catch up with him at all.

Perhaps sensing Silver's presence, the werewolf ran away, taking his dagger with him.

Leon stopped, breathing heavily.

Not far away, Jeraka stared at him warily and asked, "Leon, are you okay?"

Leon shook his head and said, “Wait a moment, just a moment.”
