The Witcher: Darkness Falls

The potion time is up and the aftereffects begin.

Leon's swollen body began to recover, his muscles began to atrophy, and his skin became dry and cracked. Some places, such as his thighs, even split open, and dark red blood flowed out.

This is due to the massive consumption of energy.

The Thunder Potion stimulates a person's muscles, making them contract more powerfully.

But at the same time, during this period Lyon will consume a lot of energy in his body to supply the needs of muscle contraction.

Under normal circumstances, after using the Thunder Potion, he would immediately take the prepared energy potion before the effect of the potion wore off, or directly take the Swallow Potion.

In this way, even if the efficacy of the Thunder Potion is lost, he will not suffer from serious sequelae.

But today he miscalculated.

For some reason, the one-eyed werewolf ignored the pain of his broken arm and attacked him directly.

Moreover, the opponent's strength was far superior to his. He was knocked away with one claw and was seriously injured.

And then it bit off his left arm. If he hadn't stabbed the opponent's temple with the dagger in time, his left arm would probably have been cut off by the werewolf's fangs!

After that, when he wanted to make amends, it was too late.

Due to his severely injured body and the aftereffects of the potion, he fainted.

Leon is now dying and is at risk of dying at any time.

His body continued to deteriorate, as hungry cells devoured his excess body fat and then began to devour each other.

However, just when his breath was almost gone, the stone tablet behind him suddenly flickered slowly, like breathing.

Then, a green breath floated out and entered Leon's body through his nostrils.

Gradually, the frequency of the rune flashing began to synchronize with Leon's breathing.

His body, which had deteriorated due to the sequelae, began to improve, and even the broken bones in his body were slowly healing.

Time passed bit by bit, and after half a month, Leon finally woke up.

He opened his eyes, and his originally yellow pupils were mixed with a hint of green.

But Leon himself couldn't realize this. He lay on the ground, stroking his head, and looking at his intact left arm, feeling incredible.

Are you... okay?

"I remember..." Leon frowned and a look of pain appeared on his face.

He felt as if there was something in his brain, and a mysterious feeling told him that he should adjust his breathing rate.

"Hold your breath - take a deep breath - exhale - inhale..." Leon thought to himself, and then began to adjust his breathing frequency according to his feeling.

According to his feeling, this kind of breathing should be a cycle. The beginning is to hold the breath for 72 seconds, then take a deep breath for 30 seconds, followed by exhaling evenly within three seconds, and inhaling evenly within another three seconds, and then maintain this frequency until exhaustion.

Leon didn't know why he did this, but he felt that it would definitely be good for him.

Finally, after exhausting himself with this strange breathing frequency, Leon stopped.

He was panting, his whole body was covered with thick mucus, and he emitted a foul odor.

However, even so, Lyon felt that his body was more comfortable and refreshed than ever before!

"Hungry……"

His stomach was growling and he felt extremely hungry.

He hurriedly took out the last bottle of Enhanced Swallow from his bag.

This is the potion he prepared in Nilfgaard, mainly used to restore physical strength and repair wounds.

As a demon hunter, even when dealing with water ghosts, one could get hurt if not careful.

Although they have strong physical fitness and recover faster than ordinary people, the potion is more effective.

He had spent three hundred florins to buy the formula for strengthening swallows and prepared ten bottles.

I used some of it over the period, especially after dealing with the poisonous horned lizard and then I encountered a zombie. I was seriously injured and used up four bottles. Now I only have one bottle left.

With the strengthening of the swallow entrance, Leon's hunger was greatly relieved.

He stood up and turned around to take a look at the strange stone tablet.

But what is the stone tablet behind him?

Only ashes are left!

"Where is the stone tablet?" Leon was puzzled.

He dragged the one-eyed werewolf's body out, and then dragged his father's body away.

After leaving the cave, Leon squinted his eyes. The dazzling sunlight told him that it was already afternoon, but he didn't know how many days had passed.

He dragged the werewolf's body down the mountain, and the warhorse was still eating grass leisurely there.

"When we get back to the castle, I will ask the Earl to give you to me." Lyon stroked the warhorse's face and said, then he threw the bodies of the two werewolves onto the horse and led it towards Dan Rowan.

Although it was very quick to get here, it took me nearly two days to get back to Lyon.

After all, the warhorse has limited physical strength, and dragging two werewolves is already quite strenuous, and he can tire the warhorse to death.

Moreover, war horses cannot walk all the time, they need to rest.

At night, Leon discovered something even stranger than the way he breathed.

He found that when he slowed down his breathing, closed his eyes and prepared to take a nap, he would soon enter a kind of ethereal state.

This felt completely different from his usual naps.

When he usually takes a nap to restore his strength and energy, he is actually in a shallow sleep, and the slightest movement can wake him up.

But the state he entered at night did not feel like sleep, because his brain was very clear and he could clearly perceive everything around him.

But the weird thing happened, he could stay in this ethereal state for a whole night, and when he woke up the next morning he was not tired but full of energy!

"Magic... related to that stone tablet..."

Leon immediately thought of the stone tablet covered with runes and emitting green light.

His Demon Hunter Medal reacted to it, and the reaction was very intense, which meant that the thing was related to magic.

Moreover, he also saw a green aura entering the one-eyed werewolf's body, helping it repair its body.

Maybe when he was unconscious, the green aura entered his body and repaired all his injuries.

Even the strange breathing method and entering into an ethereal state, all these strange situations are related to that stone tablet!

"I have to ask Stregobor, he might know something. I hope he is still in the city." Leon thought to himself.

Near dusk on the second afternoon, Lyon arrived outside the north gate of Dan Rowan.

However, before entering the city, in order not to cause unnecessary panic, he picked up some rags on the road to cover himself.

But the huge wolf head was still exposed, causing passers-by to speculate and follow it all the way.

It was not until he entered the count's castle that everyone left reluctantly.
