The Void Pathfinder from the Demon Hunter World

(Recommended background music for this chapter: "The Conqueror Worm II" singer: Sopor Aeternus u002ble of Shadows.)

Ouch...

A puff of black smoke rose from the completely motionless body, condensing into the phantom of a black panther with red eyes in the air...

Marvin was startled, stepped back, and propped up Quen's Seal-Active Shield.

He took a closer look, removed the shield, the long knife rune lit up again, and struck the shadow in the air with a knife.

Ouch~~

The black panther's phantom was split into two halves and then restored...

The tip of the Gus pattern knife pointed at it.

"roll!"

The black panther stared at Marvin with his red eyes for a while, then roared unwillingly and disappeared...

Marvin had only seen this thing in books. It was a strange magical creature with unknown origins.

It appeared hundreds of years ago and would possess people. The possessed person would become as agile and aggressive as a leopard, and would hunt all living creatures in its territory.

It was enshrined and worshiped like a god by some people hundreds of years ago. Those people called it Ullr. This name is also recorded in the book.

The ocelot statue and the inverted pentagram on the wall seem to be the reason why Ullal came here to possess him.

Ullal is actually not very powerful. Although Marvin is unable to kill it within the Arden circle, he can cut it very painfully. There was nothing Uler could do against Marvin, so he chose to run away.

After checking around, there was no danger around. He sat on the wooden box to treat the wound. The blood had soaked the shirt and cotton armor inside...

About half an hour later, Marvin eliminated the dim vision on his body and turned on the illumination technique. He wanted to take a closer look at the body and the entire laboratory.

After seeing it clearly, he was shocked.

The witcher's corpse didn't have black skin, it had no skin at all.

The muscles were just exposed, and bones could still be seen in some places. Even though he had just died, the dark red muscles were still as hard as wood.

There was not much blood left in the Witcher's body. His face looked even more terrifying, with no ears, no nose, or eyelids, which meant he couldn't close his eyes.

Marvin wanted to greet the family of Alanis Stangard who was doing experiments here. This alchemist had completely lost his humanity.

[Tip: If you find the remains of a magical creature, do you want to submit it? 】【whether】

Select Yes.

[Tip: If the submission is successful, you will be rewarded with +1 agility attribute and +1 perception attribute. 】

Black Shadow's strength just now was probably due to being possessed by Ullal. The unlucky demon hunter himself didn't seem to be very powerful.

[Tip: The creature is detected as a demon hunter and can be integrated into existing professional inheritance. 】

[Fusion progress 45%]

[Fusion progress 56%]

[Tip: The fusion has been completed. The inheritance integrity of the Demon Hunter profession is 56%. The inheritance of this profession is medium and there is no reward. 】

After checking the lab, Marvin completely remembered who the hapless witcher was.

"Day 1.

Luckily the portal sent us directly to my lab. It's good to be home. I was so sick of that broken ship that I hoped the storm I had summoned would cause it to hit the rocks and shatter it completely.

While I was away, the results of the experiments the students conducted on the water ghosts were not as expected. I still have to do everything myself. I first administered a dose of medicinal hallucinogen to the subject. This 'hallucinogen' will make the demon hunter half-conscious and helpless, and then he can start researching again.

Note: I had to pause my research while I cleaned up the ruined parts of the lab. I've already reattached a broken arm bone to a research assistant and am now administering four doses of 'psychedelic' to the witcher.

Day 4.

Subjects display incredible tolerance for physical torture. His defense collapsed only after the second day of vigorous fighting.

The results of the interrogation were quite satisfactory, and information related to witcher training and the Cat School was obtained. As I suspected before, most of the demon hunters of the Cat School have elven blood. This school must have some connection with the ancient races.

The subject is not suitable for further research. I have stopped using LSD on him.

Day 7.

Extracts of poison hemlock and hemlock are used. Usually in human and elven races, such a mixture will cause paralysis of the peripheral nervous system, which will then lead to paralysis of nerve endings, resulting in paralysis of muscles, bones, breathing and heart, and eventually death from suffocation.

But witchers are no ordinary people. Although the toxin did slightly irritate his nervous system, his mutated body quickly neutralized the harmful alkaline substances.

Day 26.

The subject has been abused, poisoned, incinerated, frozen, starved, and dehydrated, but despite this his body remains functional, able to eat and drink unaided, move around a room alone, and utter simple words ('please' , 'Don't hurt', 'Stop').

Conclusion: As I suspected, witchers are great energy aggregators! If Ullal is integrated into this powerful body, he will definitely become the god of death again, hatred will be turned into flesh and blood, and everything will be under my control!

Not since Malaspina and Arzu had anyone created such a powerful individual. "

The above is part of the experimental record.

Conclusion: Alanis Stangard has lost all of his humanity and he'd better pray he's dead. Otherwise, he would become another good experimental subject as Marvin guessed.

Keep the experimental records, they will be very useful in convincing the Griffin Faction.

Destroyed the inverted pentagram array and the ocelot stone sculpture, and burned everything in the laboratory. Marvin walked out of the cave, and it was already dark.

The demon hunter also left behind an exquisite silver sword, which was exquisite and sharp, with the cursive "Moonblade" engraved on the sword jaw. Marvin didn't like this sword, it was too light and too thin.

Walking out of the cave, Marvin looked at the stars and the moon in the sky and took a long breath. After experiencing some mental abuse, he was in a complicated mood at this moment...

...

This unfortunate cat-faction demon hunter is called Kaiyan. The alchemist Alannis Steingard who used Kaiyan for experiments is indeed hateful, but please don't simply think that Kaiyan, the victim, is a good person.

The whole story is like this.

Not long ago, there was a small country called Sea Cat.

Prince Adrien of the Sea Cat Kingdom was obsessed with elf culture and sponsored an archaeological team to find elf relics. Kaiyan was the bodyguard of this archaeological team.

In fact, Kaiyan was a killer hired by Prince Adrian.

After the archaeological team found the elf ruins and treasure, Kaiyan killed all the archaeological team members and brought back the treasure.

Prince Adrian rewarded Kaiyan heavily. After all, the money given to one person must be less than that given to a group of people.

Prince Adrian hoped that Kaiyan would follow him to eat and drink. Kaiyan refused. He took another job and became a bodyguard of a slave ship called "Flying Stag". Prince Adrian angrily cursed that the broken ship would be sunk by a storm.

On the Flying Stag, an alchemist bribed the captain and arranged him and the demon hunter in a room. At night, the alchemist used spells and poisons to stun the demon hunter and teleported the demon hunter back to the secret laboratory on Temple Island.

There is no need to continue the story...

The Flying Stag really sank in a storm, and Prince Adrian was killed in his own castle because he was too violent and extravagant...

...

Marvin didn't want to continue wandering around in Novigrad, so he set off north the next day.

From Novigrad to Praxida, Marvin walked for 7 days because he didn't ride a horse.

He killed a group of evil ghosts and a griffin on the way, and added 1 point to his strength, agility, and constitution, but nothing else.

After practicing all this time, Marvin became more and more proficient in short-distance teleportation, and the teleportation speed was faster and more energy-saving. He could use it 4 times in a row, but if he really teleported 4 times in a row, he would feel weak and out of breath.

After resting for a day in Praxida, Marvin continued to head north.

One day, when Marvin was tracking a flying fork-tailed dragon, he heard the roar of a giant in the mountains. The distance was a bit far, but he still remembered the deep voice.

He gave up tracking the fork-tailed dragon that had already flown far away and ran towards the direction of the sound.

After climbing a gentle slope, there is a large valley below.

A red Cyclops is wreaking havoc in the camp in the valley. Here you can already hear the roars, curses, and screams of the people in the camp fighting against the giant.

Ordinary people can only reach the giant's thighs. Their sticks, spears, swords, and crossbows are almost ineffective against the giant, which can only make the monster more irritable.

Judging from the size and skin condition, this is a giant who has just reached adulthood, much worse than the one who defeated Marvin last time.

He did not intend to go down to help.

Because he saw human corpses hanging everywhere in the camp, skull altars arranged in strange shapes, and countless damaged cargo boxes.

These people are cannibals.

Cannibals are not a tribe, but the result of normal humans looting and killing for a long time, or people gather together to eat each other because of hunger, and eventually become mentally abnormal monsters.

They will appear in various places on the continent because of famine, plague, war...

After more than ten minutes, the Cyclops killed all the cannibals in the camp and left with two corpses...

Marvin looked around the camp and found nothing valuable, so he left the camp and followed the giant.

After following for more than half an hour, the Cyclops went into a huge cave, which should be his home.

I don't know why this giant ran so far to slaughter the cannibal camp.

Marvin waited outside the cave for a while. There was no other sound in the cave, and there were no other traces nearby. This giant, who had just grown up, lived alone.

The Cyclops is a beast, a monster, not an intelligent race that can communicate.

Their skin is generally blue-gray or red, and very tough. They have a small and deformed head and messy hair. The huge one eye that occupies half of their face will squeeze their mouth and nose into a distorted shape. Their long and strong arms and giant hands allow them to easily attack normal creatures on the ground. Note ①

Because of its short neck and limited vision and field of view, the Cyclops cannot see enemies on the side and behind, and will not come out to hunt at night.

Marvin cast the Quen seal on himself and walked into the cave from the huge hole. A foul smell hit him in the face, and the light inside was OK.

The Cyclops just turned around and sat down, and for a moment, the three eyes met...

Marvin had never intended to attack by surprise. Now he was no longer afraid of such a huge monster.

The Cyclops roared angrily, stood up with one hand on the ground, and rushed over with long arms waving.

With the Yaden seal, Marvin rolled sideways to avoid the giant's charge and teleported to stand on the shoulder of the Cyclops.

Before he could draw his knife, the monster hit the wall of the cave head-on. Marvin was shaken and almost fell down, and quickly grabbed the giant's hair with one hand.

Bang! Crash... The gravel flew and the whole cave shook.

Marvin drew out Guswen with his right hand and stabbed the giant's neck.

Aww~

The Cyclops roared and slapped...

Marvin drew his sword and jumped to the back of the giant. The long sword nailed to the giant's shoulder. With the weight of falling, a huge wound was cut from the shoulder to the lower back.

He kicked hard with his feet and landed in a somersault...

The giant was mad because of the pain. He waved his arms on the spot, hitting the stone wall behind him and causing another round of rocks to fly.

Marvin continued to retreat, letting the monster go crazy for a while.

In just a few seconds, a large pool of blood gathered under the Cyclops, and he sat down on the ground and gasped.

Marvin lowered his center of gravity and rushed forward with all his strength. The giant ignored the pain and supported himself with one hand to stand up.

Marvin, who was rushing forward, suddenly disappeared with a flash of blue light. The next moment, he appeared in front of the giant, and Guswen stabbed into the one-eyed giant with the momentum of rushing forward.

He stepped on the giant's face with both feet and kicked hard, pulled out the Gus pattern and turned over and jumped...

The Cyclops rolled on the ground with his face covered...

Marvin, who was retreating, sighed that this monster was really tenacious, and a knife stabbed into the brain could not kill it immediately.

Even though the brain was injured, the huge monster still struggled for several minutes before gradually calming down...

The wound on the huge eyeball was still gurgling with red, white, and black body fluids, and the hands and feet twitched from time to time...

After waiting for another 5 minutes, the Cyclops was completely motionless...

Marvin approached carefully and touched the monster's feet...

[Hint: Found the remains of a magical creature, do you want to submit it? ][Yes][No]

Choose yes.

[Hint: Submit successfully, reward strength attribute +2, constitution attribute +1. ]

The familiar pain came, and Marvin leaned against the wall of the cave and endured it quietly for a long time...

From the scattered bear skin in the corner of the cave, it can be guessed that this newly adult Cyclops ate the original owner of the cave, a brown bear, and then this cave.

It didn't live here for long, and didn't leave anything special behind.
