The Witcher: Darkness Falls

Chapter 217: Shadow Elder Cave

The two of them saw a black screen, and Leon subconsciously hugged Eunice, who had returned to her human form, in his arms, and then they both bumped into Regis.

"Leon! We succeeded!" Eunice poked her head out of Leon's arms. She looked at the scene in front of her, and returned to the main tomb chamber. She immediately said in surprise.

Leon let go of Eunice, looked around, and then looked at Regis who was knocked over.

"Sorry, are you okay?" Leon stood up and pulled Regis up.

He noticed that Regis' eyes were red and his lips were pale.

"It's okay. I didn't expect you to come out so quickly. Can you tell me what's over there?" Regis asked, brushing off the dust on his body.

"It's an illusion! Except for the sun, everything else is very realistic!" Eunice said excitedly, and then she recounted what had just happened.

Regis nodded as he listened, then said, "Hmm... Interesting design, Leon's idea is right, if it weren't a vampire, even if they ignored the sun, they would subconsciously run away when they saw the bat-winged demon.

According to what you said, if you keep running away, not only will you not be able to escape from the illusion, but you will also be tortured to death due to fear, anxiety, and exhaustion."

Eunice and Leon agreed wholeheartedly.

Most people would not dare to rush towards the Bat-Winged Demon and would definitely try to find a breakthrough from somewhere else.

There are so many bat-winged demons that no matter whether what is behind is true or false, the number alone is enough to make people feel suffocated.

"What did you encounter in there?" Eunice asked.

Regis said, “Well… a legend among vampires.

It is rumored that in the world of my ancestors, my ancestors were originally human beings, but the gods over there betrayed humans, so the ancestors turned their swords against the gods.

In the end, my ancestors won. They drank the blood of gods and became the vampires we are today.

Although my ancestor succeeded in killing the gods, he was also cursed by the gods and became immortal. "

Eunice asked curiously, "How can immortality be a curse?"

"It's just the immortality of the flesh. As time goes by, the vampire's soul will decay and degenerate, turning into the lowest level of bat-winged demon, and even finally degenerate into a beast without any consciousness.

Then, the beast will gradually grow a new consciousness, and then slowly evolve into a vampire again, a high-level vampire…” Regis said.

Leon and Eunice looked at Regis in surprise.

Regis said, "Don't look at me like that. I don't know. I've lived for more than a thousand years and my soul is still intact. This is a legend."

Leon asked, "What does that have to do with your mission?"

Regis said, “Of course, if you want to prevent your soul from decaying, you need to drink blood.

So, I just need to drink a certain amount of blood."

Leon and Eunice looked at Regis carefully, looking at him with some concern.

Regis shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I've calmed down. This little bit of blood is not enough to arouse my ferocity."

The two nodded, but they were still a little wary of Regis.

"Hey? Where's Geralt? Hasn't he come out yet?" Eunice suddenly asked.

They noticed that Geralt hadn't come out yet.

"He hasn't come out yet. I don't know what he encountered." Regis was a little worried.

The puzzles set by Elder Elizabeth are all related to vampires, and Geralt's previous experience may be of no use.

The puzzle that Leon and Eunice encountered was actually the easiest. If Leon had faced Regis's puzzle, he probably wouldn't have thought that he needed to drink blood to pass it.

"Can we go in and help?" Eunice asked, looking at the portal that Geralt entered.

Regis shook his head and said, "No, it's closed off. No one outside can get in. Now he can only rely on himself."

So, everyone could only wait outside and believe that Geralt could pass the level.

However, they didn't have to wait long before Geralt stumbled out.

And when he came out, his face was black and he was severely poisoned.

Leon quickly took out the white bee and almost pinched Geralt's mouth to force it into his mouth.

Everyone stood by and watched Geralt vomit and expel the excess toxins, and no one knew what Geralt was going through in there.

At the same time, the three teleportation arrays in front of them disappeared, and a brand new teleportation array appeared in another direction.

After more than an hour, Geralt recovered.

Eunice couldn't wait to ask, "How is it? What's in there?"

Geralt leaned against Anna Henrietta's coffin, closed his eyes, and his body trembled slightly.

It is obvious that the other party's experience in there was very bad, even terrible.

"I killed them all." Geralt's first words were as he opened his eyes.

He turned his head and stared at Regis with cold and fierce eyes, then closed his eyes again, and when he opened them again, his gaze became softer.

No one asked him what happened inside.

Geralt stood up and said, "I'm sorry, you must have been waiting for a long time, right?"

"Well... about two hours." Eunice said. Although she was very curious about what Geralt had just experienced, seeing Geralt's current state, she didn't have the heart to ask further.

It was obvious that what happened inside had hurt Geralt deeply, and it was a mental injury.

"Let's go." Geralt said in a deep voice, his tone full of murderous intent, "Let's go find Elizabeth."

The four of them walked into the newly appeared teleportation array in silence.

After entering the teleportation array, the scene in front of their eyes changed again.

What I saw before me was no longer a tomb, but a cave.

The stone walls around the cave were moist and covered with moss, and they could hear the sound of flowing water not far ahead.

"This is it. I didn't expect the teleportation array to lead directly to the Shadow Elder's cave. Be careful." Regis reminded, "I can sense the breath of the same kind."

"Where is Elder Elizabeth? And Elder Shadow, can you feel their presence?" Leon asked.

Regis nodded and said, "Inside, and they have also sensed my presence."

Everyone immediately became alert.

Then they followed Regis into the cave, and soon the bat-winged demon appeared.

Geralt immediately rushed forward and cut off his head with one sword.

Regis immediately stepped forward and held Geralt's sword hand and asked, "Geralt, you are full of murderous aura and your body is tense. Although this is good for the next battle, it will make you lose your mind and fall into a very dangerous situation.

Can you tell me what you saw? We are all worried about you!"

Geralt's tense body slowly relaxed, and he sighed, "Sorry Regis."
