The Witcher: Darkness Falls

Seeing Regis' eyes gradually clear and his body beginning to return to normal, Leon breathed a sigh of relief.

The calming effect of the Axis Seal took effect, allowing Regis to calm down and regain his sanity.

Of course, in addition to the effect of the seal, the main reason is that Regis still retains basic sanity and has not fallen into complete madness.

Moreover, they had actually anticipated the current situation.

Regis was sure that this group of low-level vampires was led by a high-level vampire, and although there were not many of these high-level vampires, he would definitely need to deal with them.

If it was just one, it would be fine, but if there were more, they would have a backup plan.

But now there is a small accident.

Regis didn't expect that this high-level vampire was actually someone he knew, so he didn't have much fighting spirit at the beginning.

In addition, he was not good at fighting, so he fell into a disadvantage after a short period of fighting.

In the end, even after releasing the second form he was still defeated, so he had to release the third form.

According to Regis, all the abilities of vampires come from their blood.

Normally they appear in their first form, which is human appearance.

The second form will be deployed during battle. As for the third form, it means that there is no other way and you need to fight desperately.

The change of vampire form requires the stimulation of the blood power in the body, which will make their blood boil and "burn".

To put it bluntly, this is a method of exchanging life for power, and it has a time limit.

Moreover, the blood energy that evaporates from the boiling blood will drive the vampire itself into madness.

The longer it lasts, the thicker the blood energy around, and the crazier the vampire will become.

This is a vicious cycle. If the enemy cannot be eliminated, the vampire will instantly become weak and eventually die once its blood evaporates.

This is the true death of a vampire, the kind that cannot be resurrected.

Vampires are creatures that are extremely dependent on blood. As long as there is a trace of blood left, they have the possibility of resurrection after death.

But once the bloodline disappears completely, that means true death.

Therefore, in addition to being forced to burn all of your blood, having your blood plundered by vampires is also a very dangerous thing, and you may die.

However, this kind of plunder only exists at the same level and is upward compatible.

High-level vampires plunder high-level vampires, and if the plunder is very thorough, it is possible to kill the opponent.

However, plundering low-level vampires may pollute one's own bloodline, causing the vampire's level to be lowered, etc.

In short, Regis said a lot and confessed almost all the secrets of vampires.

But even if they confessed, humans nowadays have no way to deal with vampires.

Bloodline has always been a mysterious thing. Wizards have not studied it thoroughly, let alone completely eliminate all the bloodline of a high-level vampire to kill him.

Totally impossible.

And Regis told them this purely out of context.

If he wanted to talk, he might go crazy and need someone to calm him down.

The basic Axil effect may not work, but after drinking the advanced Petri potion, it won't be a big problem.

Of course, if Regis fully develops his third form, his advice is for Geralt and Leon to run as far as they can.

At that time, the Axis Seal would not be effective.

But it's okay now.

Regis's eyesight regained clarity, but his face became even paler, which was obviously the sequelae of excessive blood burning.

Leon stepped forward and helped him up.

“Leon… I’m sorry, I lost…” Regis held his head, feeling a slight pain in his head.

"It's okay. We are here. You rest here for a while. I'll go help Geralt." Leon dragged Regis to lie under the tree behind him, and then turned around and rushed towards Geralt.

-

"Wolf School Demon Hunter! Who is Vesemir to you?" Howl was flying in the sky, staring at Geralt on the ground.

His eyes fell on the Wolf School medal dangling on Geralt's chest, and his eyes suddenly flashed a scarlet light.

“He was my teacher,” Geralt said calmly.

He didn't quite understand why Hall mentioned Vesemir at this time.

Hall's voice was cold and full of murderous intent: "Your teacher! I heard that he is dead! What a pity, he can't take revenge!

However, since he is your teacher, you must pay the price for his unreasonableness and evil deeds!"

At this moment, Geralt reacted.

He remembered something he had heard both Regis and Vesemir mention.

It's just a different angle.

Regis was just sharing his past experiences, while Vesemir was imparting his experience.

At the beginning, more than 250 years ago, Regis and a group of high-level vampires gathered near Dillingen. These vampires would fly into nearby cities every night to suck human blood.

In order to fit in, Regis had to follow them in doing evil.

But later, when he went to the village to collect blood, he made a mistake. Because he sucked too much blood and lost his concentration, he missed the target he wanted to hit.

Blood is to vampires what poison is to humans.

It is not a necessity, but it is addictive and can cause negative issues such as lack of concentration.

The most fatal thing was that Regis knocked himself unconscious next, and coincidentally, there was a wizard in the village.

It's no coincidence that Regis and his companions took blood too frequently, even causing some deaths.

When the villagers saw the wound on the dead man's neck, they immediately realized that there was a vampire nearby, so they spent a large sum of money to invite a wizard.

Regis was sealed by the wizard invited by the villagers, and then his head was cut off and buried deep in the ground.

But this was considered lucky for him, because his companions paid a heavier price in the subsequent events.

The lord of Dillingen reported the vampire incident to the king of Brugge, so the king issued a reward, summoned wizards, demon hunters, and bounty hunters to the vicinity of Dillingen, and then sent out troops to carry out a large-scale cleanup of the vampires near Dillingen.

After paying a heavy price, the humans eliminated the vampires nearby.

There are demon hunters involved, especially experienced demon hunters who know how to deal with vampires.

As a result, not only were Regis' friends burned to ashes, some were even sealed into crystals and completely sank into the sea.

This is equivalent to killing a vampire in an alternative way.

Back in Kaer Morhen, Vesemir had specifically mentioned that they had used several methods to deal with vampires, and wanted to see which method was the most reliable in the future.

But Vesemir died and would never know the outcome of the original incident.

And the high-level vampire in front of him might have been killed by Vesemir.
