The Witcher: Darkness Falls

“When I opened my eyes, I was already in Dillingen.

I'm surrounded by wizards, bounty hunters, the military, speculators, angry villagers, and a dozen demon hunters." Geralt's voice rang out.

Regis immediately understood where Geralt was in this illusion.

Dillingen, that was where he died for the first time, and it was also where a group of high-level vampires including Hall were eliminated.

Regis remained silent. Without Geralt saying anything, he probably knew what was going to happen next.

Geralt took a deep breath, then said, "You committed a crime in Dillingen and caused panic.

The local ruler issued a bounty order, summoned the army, wizards, and demon hunters, and launched a campaign against vampires.

I had thought I only had to deal with the vampire problem, but I was wrong.

The correct way to pass the level is for me to kill those people who are besieging you vampires.

I killed them all, including my teacher Vesemir."

Regis continued with a heavy heart, "I'm sorry."

Geralt shook his head and said, "No, you are not the one who should apologize. I didn't see you, which means you are already dead."

Leon and Eunice had no idea what was going on and were completely confused.

Seeing that the two were confused, Regis briefly explained what happened in Dillingen, and the two suddenly understood.

In fact, when Leon heard Geralt mention Vesemir and killed him with his own hands in the illusion, he probably understood why Geralt was in such a bad mood.

The Dillingen vampires once wreaked havoc, and Regis's mistake was the trigger, which led to people's hunting of vampires.

Regis first knocked himself unconscious, then happened to be sealed by a local wizard, and then had his head cut off.

Although this cannot kill Regis, after having his head cut off, even a high-level vampire will fall into a deep sleep, and from the outside, he will be no different from dead.

Regis' "death" made people realize that vampires are not scary, they are just ordinary monsters.

As a result, the King of Brugg issued a bounty, summoned wizards and witchers, and launched an army to siege the Dillingen vampire.

Geralt's mentor Vesemir also participated in it.

To Geralt, Vesemir is not only a teacher, but also his father, and they have a deep relationship.

But this is exactly what makes Geralt miserable.

If he helped the witcher to hunt vampires, he would never be able to get out of the illusion.

And if he were to help the vampires resist the demon hunters, he would certainly find it difficult to forgive himself in his heart.

After all, that was his teacher and father.

It is conceivable how tormented Geralt felt when he realized this.

But in the end, he made a decision.

However, this is all in the past, and Geralt has to deal with the troubles in his heart by himself.

However, he did feel a lot more relieved after spitting it out.

Regis continued to lead the way, and after they got rid of a vampire, they came to a very dreamy cave.

The cave became wider and higher, and they came to the source of the sound of running water.

The water here emits a silvery glow, and in front, there is a stepped waterfall.

However, all these waterfalls flow backwards.

It was as if the ground beneath their feet was not actually the ground, but the top of a cave.

Eunice raised her head and looked in amazement at the silvery water flowing back from the dome above her. She was completely stunned.

"Is this place maintained by magic?" she exclaimed.

Leon shook his head and said, “No, I didn’t detect any magical aura.”

He was also confused about the situation before him. The water under his feet was indeed flowing towards the top of the cave.

He reached out and touched it, and it was indeed water, not an illusion.

"How interesting." Geralt looked up and around. He even saw a bat-winged demon crawling towards them backwards in the distance.

"Regis, what's going on?" he inquired.

Regis explained: "This is not an illusion, all of this is real. I have said before that the reason why the Shadow Elder is guarding here is because he is looking forward to the door to the vampire world reopening.

The situation here is caused by the existence of that door."

"Door?" Geralt was puzzled. "Isn't the intersection of the celestial spheres an accidental overlap of space? How could there be a door left behind?"

Regis said: “The intersection of the celestial spheres is indeed caused by the accidental overlap of space, but it is also possible that a door to another world was left behind.

Geralt, you should have experienced it, remember? When the white frost came, Ciri also entered the world full of white frost through a door and resolved the crisis.

The door is just closed, but it can still be opened again.”

Geralt thought about it carefully. That was two hundred years ago, but he did remember it.

Regis nodded and continued, “It seems that you remember that our world overlaps with this world, and there is a door left, but it has been closed.

However, there is still a breath released from the vampire world through the cracks of that door."

"Are you saying that this is why this place has become like this?" Leon asked.

Regis nodded, but corrected, "You are right, but not entirely. The reason why this place is like this is because behind that door is actually another world.

Every world is different. The differences here include race, geography, environment, and even the rules that govern the world at a higher level.

The world is different, and the rules that govern it are also different.

This place can be seen as the junction of two worlds, but because the door is closed, the interference is very weak.

But it won’t be eliminated completely, so we can stand here and see another scene under the influence of the rules.”

They nodded, roughly understanding what Regis meant.

Simply put, this place is the intersection of two worlds, so there are two different rules for the operation of the world.

"It's amazing! So, what should we do next?" Eunice asked in amazement, swinging her sword and stabbing a bat-winged demon that was flying backwards to death.

Regis pointed to the waterfall flowing backwards in the distance and said, "Stand there, follow the flow of water, and adapt to the rules of the world over there."

Everyone walked towards the waterfall, and when they came to the bottom of the waterfall, suddenly they were carried away by the water and felt that they were falling.

Pfft!

A group of people fell into the pool.

Lyon held his breath, struggled for a moment, and then floated to the surface.

He looked around. Except for the river hanging above his head, everything seemed normal.

He felt it and didn't seem to have any discomfort.

Everyone quickly got ashore, all wet.

"Oh! Look, who's here?"

When everyone just got ashore, a charming mature woman's voice rang out.

Regis hurriedly looked towards the source of the sound.

She was a tall, fair-skinned, plump red-haired girl wearing a translucent gauze dress.

What surprised Regis even more was the skinny bald man standing next to the redhead.

"The Shadow Elder!!!"
