The Witcher: Darkness Falls

When Leon woke up, he was lying next to Geralt, with Regis, who looked thin, sitting next to him.

He moved, and Regis turned to look at him: "You're awake."

He reached out and helped Leon sit up.

"Where are we?" Leon rubbed his eyes and found that it had become dark.

As he looked around, he saw a lake and across the lake was the city of Beauclair. The whole city was brightly lit and looked very lively.

He looked around, and then he knew where he was.

In front of the Shadow Elder's cave was where they had come from in the beginning.

He looked back and saw that the seal on the door had disappeared. It seemed that they had not crawled out of Anna Henrietta's grave.

Regis' voice came: "Elder Elizabeth should have returned to the vampire world, so the seal she set was automatically lifted.

This is a good thing, at least we saved a lot of time and avoided many detours when we came back."

Leon shook his head and said, "No, she didn't go back, but escaped at the last moment. But the Shadow Elder did enter the cross-border gate, but I don't know if he arrived there safely."

"Is that so?" Regis said rather melancholy, "No wonder I felt that the power of my bloodline that bound me disappeared. It seems that this power cannot cross the barriers of the world."

When he said this, his tone suddenly became a little lost, and his expression also became gloomy.

"What happened? Where are Eunice and Ciri?" Leon asked.

He began to recall what had happened earlier.

First, the old wizard accelerated the speed of the blood sacrifice magic circle, and then opened most of the door.

Then a red crystal was thrown over from the opposite side, directly opening the door completely.

After that, there seemed to be a female high-level vampire coming over, but it was a clone. She attached herself to Orianna and then wanted to completely occupy the cross-border gate for her own use.

And then……

He couldn't remember what happened, and now, he couldn't feel any magic in his body.

Even when he tried to call upon magic power, he felt unbearable pain at the location of the magic core.

Regis said, "Do you remember? You made Eunice recover her true form and spit dragon fire, then destroyed the cross-world gate, organized the vampire army to cross the world, and saved the world. At the same time, you also saved me."

Leon thought about it and seemed to have some impression.

Regis looked at Leon and thanked him first, “Thank you, thank you very much Leon, if you hadn’t saved me, I’m afraid it would take me decades to wake up again.

The death of a vampire is not without cost. After death, we not only need more time to be reborn, but also our bloodline power will be diluted. If this happens too many times, I might turn into a bat-winged demon like a beast. "

"Oh? How many times does it take to fall from a high-level vampire to a bat-winged demon?" Leon asked curiously.

Regis stroked his chin, thought carefully, and answered, "About 20 to 30 times, that's my estimate, I'm not sure exactly how many times.

Let's say thirty times, let's do the math, I've already died twice."

"Then there's nothing to worry about," Lyon said.

Regis smiled slightly, then continued, "Eunice and Ciri went to find a boat, and you woke up not long after they left."

At this point, he hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Leon asked, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"

Regis looked at Leon and said seriously, "You should feel the problem with your body, right?"

Leon nodded and asked calmly, "Is my magic core destroyed?"

Just now when he tried to call upon magic power, he felt something. The location of the magic core was painful, as if it had been cracked.

He had guessed at that time whether his magic core was destroyed.

If a wizard overuses magic power, the magic core will easily become useless. If the magic power is seriously overdrawn, not only will the magic core become useless, but the wizard may also die.

He remembered after Regis's reminder that when the high-level vampire was about to take the cross-border gate and let the opposite vampire army come over, he asked Eunice to show her true form and destroy the gate with dragon fire.

But unfortunately, he and Regis were between Eunice and the cross-border gate.

If Eunice used dragon fire to destroy the cross-border gate, the dragon fire would inevitably burn him and Regis first.

Therefore, he could only overdraw his magic power to cast the Quen Seal to open the shield to protect himself and Regis.

He admitted that there was an element of gambling involved, but fortunately his bet was right and he did not die.

“Well… I don’t know if this is good news, but Xirui checked your body and found that your magic core was not destroyed, but had a few cracks.

However, if you don't find a way to repair it, I'm afraid you won't be able to use magic in this life. But Ciri doesn't know how to repair it, maybe Yennefer and the others know something. "So, you don't have to worry for now." Regis said.

Leon was a little surprised. It was possible to repair it? This was much better than he expected.

However, even if he couldn't use magic power, it didn't seem to cause any hindrance to him.

His main job is still a demon hunter, and magic is more of an auxiliary rather than the main thing for a demon hunter.

"How's Geralt?" Leon asked.

Geralt was more seriously injured and poisoned than him, and now it seemed that he was still weak.

He touched the life pendant around his neck, took it off and put it on Geralt, who needed it more than he did at the moment.

"It's okay, but he needs to recover." Regis said, "He's used to it."

Leon nodded.

"Oh, they are back. Can you move on your own? If not, wait here and I will carry Geralt down first." Regis said.

"Let me help you, I don't feel that bad." Leon stood up. Although he still had some strength, he felt much better.

Regis carried Geralt on his back, Leon supported him from behind, and the three of them walked downstairs.

Ciri ran up quickly, complained, and took Geralt from Regis's back, and then everyone got on the boat.

"Leon, has Regis told you about your situation?" Ciri asked, smoothing the hair that fell from her temples.

Eunice looked over worriedly.

Leon nodded and said calmly: “Yeah.”

Xirui comforted her: "Don't worry, Yennefer will definitely find a way to help you solve it."

Leon nodded.

"Look over there!" Eunice pointed excitedly at the Beauclair Palace in the distance.

Everyone turned their heads.

Across the lake, in the direction of the Beauclair Palace, a light shot up into the sky and then exploded into colorful fireworks.
