The Witcher: Darkness Falls

Boom——

There was a loud bang.

As the magical energy was released, ripples appeared in the space.

But it could not travel far before being quelled by the mighty power of nature. By the time it reached Lyon, only a deafening sound remained.

Leon turned his head and found that the place where the worlds overlapped had already been covered by a ball of fire, and the huge noise came from there.

He tightened the reins and stopped the running old horse.

The fireball that the wizard from the opposite world had just shot at him did not seem to cross the world and hit him. Instead, it was blocked by an unknown force.

"It seems that traveling through the world is not that easy." Leon thought to himself.

Obviously, the opponent's magic attack cannot hit him from another world, so does that also mean that the opponent cannot travel through time and space at will?

He looked up at the blood-red sun. Now only an edge of the sun was left, and it was soon covered by the shadow.

He estimated in his mind that only about a quarter of an hour had passed from the time the strange change occurred to the time the sun was completely covered.

He didn't know how long this abnormal situation would last, but his intuition told him that this celestial conjunction would probably not last long, and might even be shorter than the celestial conjunction 188 years ago.

"In that case, there shouldn't be any monsters coming here, right?" Although he said this, he prayed in his heart that more monsters would come.

Most of the monsters on the ancient continent were brought over by the first celestial conjunction event, and many of them are just descendants of the first batch of monsters.

Most of them are hiding in forests and swamps, which are rarely visited by people, so he basically can't get any decent missions.

Hunting monsters is the mission that demon hunters were created for, but when the number of monsters is less than that of humans, demon hunters are treated like trash and are despised and rejected.

Even now, in people's minds, witchers are the real monsters, and their status in human society is not even as good as that of dwarves and halflings, and is only slightly better than shapeshifters.

It seemed as if God heard the despicable prayer in Leon's heart and responded to him immediately.

Where the worlds overlapped, the flames quickly extinguished and dissipated.

The spells of the opposing wizard cannot attack us, but the monsters behind the wizard can rush over across the world.

Leon saw the wizard opposite him pointing a staff at him. Although he couldn't hear any sound, from the actions of the people behind him, he knew that the wizard was definitely giving the order to charge.

As expected, after this group of monsters rushed out, the quiet world immediately became noisy.

The monsters shouted loudly in a language he didn't understand. They flew by, suddenly dropped and fell out as they crossed the world.

Moreover, Leon saw that there were at least a hundred monsters that traveled through the world, but the number of monsters that actually fell over was less than one-tenth.

It seems that even if the worlds overlap, it is not easy to travel through them.

However, the monsters that successfully crossed over quickly got up and seemed to have suffered no harm.

They howled and rushed towards Leon with their pitch-black spears raised.

Leon dismounted, patted the old horse's butt and made it run forward.

He himself drew out his steel sword and attacked forward.

Leon is nearly 1.8 meters tall, and he is always a head taller than the crowd even in normal times.

The monsters in front of him were less than 1.7 meters tall, and Leon was more than half a head taller than them.

Although Lyon is not a big man, he even looks slimmer than some professional soldiers.

However, compared to the unknown monster in front of him, his figure could be described as quite burly.

He was extremely fast and in just two or three steps he rushed in front of a monster.

The monster stabbed at him with the gun in both hands. Only then did Leon see that the monster's hands, no, it should be said that its claws were covered with thick black scales. The scales were as disgusting as the poisonous horned lizard he had killed.

Leon turned slightly to the side and easily dodged the attack.

He took a step forward, and while the opponent was still unable to defend himself, he stepped in front of it, then swung the steel sword directly across its neck.

A green arc appeared in the air; it was the blood spurting out of the monster's neck.

When the blood came into contact with the air, it immediately released an indescribable stench. The smell was like the smell emitted by a crushed bombardier bug, but even a hundred times stronger!

Leon frowned. This was more disgusting than any monster he had ever killed.

But he was excited in his heart. He was sure that the wizards would be interested in this thing.

This is a new species that has never appeared on the ancient continent, and their leader can cast magic. They must have a high value for magical research, and wealthy wizards will certainly not be stingy about buying their corpses.

Or, could he try to catch one alive?

However, now is obviously not the time to think about this.

There are already three monsters charging towards him. If he wants to make some extra money, he must get rid of all those in front of him.

Moreover, there are still monsters rushing towards the place where the worlds overlap. Although the passing rate is less than one in ten, if all seven or eight hundred monsters pass through, he will have no choice but to run away first.

What's more, there is a monster wizard here, which is the most difficult to deal with. If it is not solved, the opponent will shoot cold arrows at any time, making it difficult to guard against.

Therefore, he had to immediately get rid of the ones in front of him, and then block the intersection of the worlds to prevent the rest from coming over.

Leon dodged the attacks, wielding his steel sword as he shuttled between the monsters, and quickly killed all three.

Without giving him time to breathe, the spears of the other four monsters stabbed at him.

With this angle and this number, even if Lyon reacted quickly, he couldn't avoid it.

So he had to stretch out his left hand, curl up his thumb and little finger, and open the remaining three fingers to point at one of the monsters.

The moment the spear was about to stab, the space around his body rippled out, forming a transparent inverted bowl-shaped shield to block the spear.

Perhaps the monsters did not expect that he would use magical defense measures. For a moment, the vibration caused the weapons in their hands to drop.

At the same time, the bowl-shaped shield vibrated. Even though he was inside the shield, Leon felt several powerful forces hitting him, causing the ground beneath his feet to vibrate.

He was a little surprised. Although these monsters looked small, they were surprisingly powerful.

Ordinary soldiers have no chance of competing with them; their strength is even comparable to that of dwarves.

But now is not the time to lament about these things. Leon released the Quinn Seal, immediately swung his sword to kill the monster closest to him, and then rushed out.

After escaping the encirclement, he turned around quickly to make sure he would not be attacked from all sides.

When he thought that the monsters would rush up again, a strange scene appeared. These monsters actually held their weapons and did not dare to move forward.

Leon heard strange noises coming out of their mouths, which sounded like their language.

These monsters can actually communicate and have intelligence!

Afterwards, the monsters kept a wary eye on Leon, guarding against his sudden attacks, while occasionally looking at the overlapping place of the worlds behind them.

Over there, the leading wizard seemed to have noticed the unusual situation here. He waved his hand and actually stopped the monsters that were still rushing over.

So, the situation that Lyon expected did not happen, and the monsters over there did not come this way.

Not only that, the monster wizard waved his staff and seemed to give an order to retreat, causing the monsters that had already come over to retreat one after another.

"This won't do." Lyon thought to himself, then rushed forward.

Seeing Leon rushing towards them, the monsters simply ran away, and some even flapped their fleshy wings to try to fly back.

However, for some reason, they could not fly.

These monsters turned around and fled, flapping their wings and running back the way they came. Their funny appearance was very similar to that of geese running on the ground.

But unfortunately, they can't go back.

It’s not because the area where the worlds overlap is a one-way channel, but because, as Leon expected, the time of celestial sphere intersection has ended.

The picture where the worlds overlapped became blurred, and the monster army that was just seen on the other side could no longer be seen from this side.

There were thirteen monsters stranded here. They howled like crazy and rushed forward, but then they missed and fell into the swamp, splashing water everywhere.

Leon naturally did not miss such an opportunity. He immediately rushed forward and started hacking at these monsters from behind.

While the monsters were in a panic, he killed five of them in one go.

The others also reacted, and seeing that there was no hope of returning to their original world, two of them turned around and prepared to fight him to the death, while the remaining six actually fled into the depths of the swamp without looking back.

With his agile movements, Leon quickly dealt with the two monsters that rushed towards him.

During this time, the six monsters had disappeared without a trace.

However, killing a dozen was enough. He was just an old horse and couldn't take all of them away.

Leon put away his steel sword and looked up at the sun.

The sun was about to set in half an hour, the strange red color had disappeared, and his Demon Hunter Medal had also subsided, which meant that the conjunction of the celestial spheres was over.

"Now, it's harvest time!" Lyon smiled slightly, feeling that he was really lucky today.

He bent down and tried to pull up the monster under his feet, but he couldn't pull it up.

"Huh? So heavy?"

At this time, he already felt something was wrong.

He quickly pulled off the cloak of the monster crawling in the water in front of him.

When he saw the monster clearly, the smile on his face froze.
