The Witcher: Darkness Falls

"What the hell is this?"

Leon frowned tightly, looking at the blood-red sun in the sky in confusion. A bad feeling arose in his heart.

The sun in the sky looked like it had been stabbed hard by someone, and gradually turned red from the dark yellow outer outline towards the center.

Then he saw something appear inside the sun.

Leon squinted his eyes and looked hard, his pupils almost became a thin line.

Finally, he saw clearly.

There is a sphere that overlaps with the edge of the sun, as if it is going to replace the sun.

"Solar eclipse?" Leon frowned. This situation was very similar to a solar eclipse, but it was not quite the same as the solar eclipse he had in mind.

I haven’t heard that the sun will turn red during a solar eclipse. Wouldn’t it become darker?

Hurry——!

Just as Lyon was thinking, the old horse under him neighed and stamped its hooves anxiously.

"Sicori, be quiet!" Leon yelled, pulling the reins and patting the old horse's face, trying to calm it down.

But it was of no use. No matter how he tried to comfort it, the old horse kept stamping its front hooves anxiously and could run out of control at any time.

"Quiet!"

Leon leaned over, stretched out his left index and middle fingers together, separated them from the thumb, and curled his ring finger and thumb. He stretched out his hand and gently waved it in front of Lao Ma's eyes.

As he shook his hands, light blue magic was released from his palms. At the same time, Old Ma gradually calmed down.

This is the Axis Sign, a simple magical sign that can calm people down. This sign is also very effective on animals, especially frightened horses.

The old horse settled down. Leon pulled the reins and raised his head, continuing to observe the abnormal sun in the sky.

At this moment, half of the blood-red sun has been eroded, and the erosion is still intensifying.

Buzz-buzz-

Leon pressed his left hand on the Witcher medal. The medal beat more and more violently, and it hurt a little when it hit his chest.

He had never encountered such a situation before, which meant that there were extremely powerful magical creatures nearby.

However, he looked around and did not see a single magical creature.

He was on a dirt road about six or seven meters wide, with swamps on both sides.

The road had been compacted and the grass on both sides was not tall. The map showed that this place was very close to Dan Rowan, less than an hour away.

Moreover, there are obvious traces on the road, which shows that people often pass by here.

The swamp is filled with wild beasts that live in the water. As for the magical creatures, they are nothing more than ghosts and water ghosts, which are the souls of drowned people.

However, the water in the swamps on both sides barely reached his ankles. A normal person would not drown even if he lay down there. So where did the ghost of water come from?

Unless someone is drunk and falls on his back, then he deserves it.

However, on the map, this place is marked as safe, and even wild animals are rare.

"Is it out of order?"

Leon frowned. This was not good. If the Demon Hunter Medal failed, where would he find a new one?

He raised his head again, and only a pitiful third of the blood-red sun in the sky remained.

"Is this related? Was it a wizard who did this?" That was all he could think of.

However, the next moment, something shocking happened, and only then did he realize what was happening.

He saw that about ten meters away from him, at the edge of the swamp, there were ripples in the space that were visible to the naked eye.

Then, he actually saw a light black shadow in that empty space.

The shadow was squirming, no, it should be said that the entire space was rippling, making the shadow spread out like ink.

Gradually, the shadow became clearer.

Over there, there was a scorched field.

On the plain, he saw a group of people wearing cloaks. It was a huge crowd, and at a rough glance there were about seven or eight hundred people.

Led by a leader holding a cane, this group of people walked on the scorched field and gradually approached him.

As the spatial fluctuations were still continuing, he looked at the world on the other side as if through a water curtain. Although he could clearly see what the environment of the world on the other side looked like, he could not see clearly what those people looked like because they were wearing black cloaks.

What's more, it is still unclear whether that group of people are human beings.

Leon widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "Damn it, I actually encountered the intersection of the celestial spheres!"

The celestial conjunction, also known as the world conjunction, is a strange and bizarre astronomical phenomenon, and its occurrence is often accompanied by a major disaster.

Because when this strange astronomical phenomenon occurs, it means that the world they are in is colliding with other worlds.

The most direct consequence of this collision is that many creatures that do not originally belong to this world will come to this world by accident and stay here.

They may be very weak and unable to adapt to the environment here, or unable to compete with the creatures of this world, and eventually die and become extinct.

But some are extremely powerful and may bring catastrophic disaster to the indigenous people here.

There are only two recorded celestial conjunction events in history.

The first was 230 years ago, in BC, and it is said that this celestial conjunction lasted a whole day.

This time, the intersection of the celestial spheres brought monsters such as vampires, ghouls, and thorn vampires. Some of them have become extinct, while others still exist in this world and are very powerful.

Of course, the most important thing is that this intersection of the celestial spheres allowed humans to come to this world, and they have multiplied to this day, becoming the most prosperous race in the ancient continent.

However, this conjunction of the celestial spheres was not observed by humans, but was recorded based on songs passed down orally by local creatures such as the dwarves.

The second time was clearly recorded by humans. It was on December 1272, 12, about 13 years ago.

It was during the third northern expedition of the Nilfgaardian Emperor Emhyr, and the second celestial conjunction occurred, but it lasted only a short time, just over an hour.

Therefore, no monsters rushed out during this period, but even so, the collision of the worlds caused changes in the geographical features of some places and caused many people to die.

Although it was still during the war, scholars from all over the world still recorded this historic moment.

And now, the third celestial conjunction is happening, right before Lyon's eyes.

Lyon will witness history!

"Damn history!"

While cursing, Leon squeezed the horse's belly with his legs and made the old horse jump out.

Because he saw the army from another world rushing towards him.

At this moment, the vibration frequency of the Demon Hunter Medal hanging around his neck reached its peak.

The celestial conjunction event not only allows him to see the world over there, but the world over there can also see them.

As Leon was fleeing quickly on his horse, the group of "people" on the other side had already attacked him.

At the front of the team, the leader holding a staff was seen shouting while raising the staff high.

He shook it, then threw a fireball at Leon's back.

He is actually a wizard?!

And among the army behind him, there was a "person" who spread his bat-like flesh wings from inside his cloak and flew towards him quickly.
