The Void Pathfinder from the Demon Hunter World

(Recommended background music for this chapter: "Blood Run" Source: The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt Original Soundtrack.)

After submitting the four bat-winged brain demon corpses to the great learning machine, Marvin found a hidden place and waited for half an hour.

One is to see if anyone in the farm comes out to look for it, and the other is to adapt to the agility attribute of growth. As a result, there was no response from the farm until Marvin finished his rest.

He walked around the farm again and found that the people who had been standing guard around him were gone, and the farm was still quiet.

He climbed over the fence and carefully checked. Except for the two-story wooden building, there was no one in the other bungalows.

The barn was filled with the lingering smell of blood and putrefaction, coming from underground.

When the ground was dug up, there were human corpses piled haphazardly under the thin layer of soil. Most of them died of blood loss and their bodies were shriveled.

He didn't count how many corpses there were, but he looked very ugly at the moment.

It feels bad to be born as a human and see your kind being used as food by other creatures...

Coming out of the barn, Marvin took a long breath and walked towards the two-story wooden building...

The door was unlocked, so he pushed it open and entered. There was no one in the hall. There were wine bottles and glasses on the table against the wall, and a few chairs randomly placed around. The decoration inside was surprisingly good.

Marvin's metal boots made a clicking sound on the wooden floor.

"Who!? Oliver?" someone asked in the back room.

Marvin didn't answer and continued walking forward.

As we were approaching the back room, there was a crunch...

A man wearing only shorts opened the door and poked his head out. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Marvin.

The long knife was inserted from the lower jaw and passed out from the top of the head, and the man fell silent.

Marvin drew his knife and ducked sideways to avoid the fallen corpse. Guswen slashed and beheaded him.

There is no such thing as killing the wrong person. This is a man, not a woman or child getting off the carriage. He could call out the name of a companion who at least knew a little bit about what was going on here. Even if he was not a vampire, he was an accomplice.

"Ah!~" A woman stood behind the door and screamed, clutching the blanket with both hands. There should be no other clothes under the blanket.

Marvin stepped over the body, opened the door and took a look. There was no one else in the room. This was the only room on the first floor. He turned around and planned to go upstairs to take a look.

The woman screamed and asked, "Why did you kill him?"

Marvin glanced back and was so scared that she quickly shut up.

There were chaotic footsteps upstairs. Marvin put away the coquettish pattern and walked to the front door, waiting for the people upstairs to come down.

Three men kicked and clanked down from upstairs, none of them wearing much. There was also a woman peering around the corner of the stairs.

The first man turned his head and just saw the corpse, when a sharp ice arrow flew past him and shot at his companion behind him.

He was startled and couldn't help but stop and look back.

A long knife with ice blue runes stabbed into his side the next moment.

Marvin drew his sword and cut him horizontally, decapitating him.

"He killed Mars!" the third man screamed and transformed into a Katakaan.

The other person just dodged the ice arrow, roared, and expanded into a monster, the bat-winged brain demon.

Two monsters rushed towards Marvin.

The door on the first floor slammed shut, and the woman on the stairs screamed and ran back...

Marvin rolled back to dodge, and took a photo of Arden's Seal - Gigantization.

He stood up and was about to attack...

Ouch~~~~!

An inhuman roar came from the innermost corridor, causing dust to fall from the ceiling.

A gust of black wind burst out from the corridor, passing between the two low-level vampires and crashing into them.

The thing started out as a cloud of smoke, then quickly turned into a human form, and it couldn't be seen clearly anymore. In an instant, he stood firm with his feet and propped up the pale golden shield, Quen's Seal - Active Shield.

Bang!

Marvin was knocked out of the wooden building with his shield. He removed his active shield while he was in the air, and after landing, he slid backwards for a long time before stopping.

Zheng, with his backhand he pulled out the long knife inserted into the ground, and Marvin squinted his eyes to look at the person coming.

Dressed in black, with blond hair, an awkward hairline, and big sideburns, why does he look familiar?

But now is not the time to think wildly. Katakane, the Bat-Wing Brain Demon approached from left and right, and the man in black surrounded him.

"Hehehe... Another human being who overestimates his own capabilities. Have you killed everyone else?"

Marvin was not in the habit of talking nonsense in battle, and the current situation was very tricky.

The man in black stopped talking. His face gradually became ferocious and terrifying, his skin turned blue-purple, his ears elongated and pointed, his teeth became sharp, and the nails on both hands quickly elongated and turned into sharp claws that were at least 20cm long. It shines with a metallic luster. High vampire.

Marvin is now facing 2 low-level vampires and 1 high-level vampire. If you can't win the battle, it will be difficult to escape.

The man in black roared, crossed his claws, and created a string of sparks, which turned into a gust of black wind and rushed towards him.

Marvin put away the long knife and pressed the necklace lining his neck. It was the Kronos pendant lent to him by Teacher Tisaya.

A layer of bright white spherical shield with a diameter of more than 3 meters protected him inside.

The black wind hit the spherical shield and only caused a little ripple. However, the black wind was rebounded and returned to its human form, staggering back.

Katakaan and the Bat-winged Brain Demon are coming soon...

Marvin stopped paying attention to the three monsters and began to cast spells with both hands while whispering obscure spells in his mouth...

The surrounding temperature dropped rapidly, and denser black clouds quickly gathered in the already gloomy sky. Snowflakes began to fall from the sky, and the wind howled...

The wind increased rapidly, a blizzard fell in the blink of an eye, and the visibility within a few hundred meters dropped sharply...

The two low-level vampires began to freeze and moved slowly, while the high-level vampires continued to attack the shield...

The rotation centered on Feng Mawen is getting bigger and bigger...

The stone was rolled up and hit the wall with a bang...

The flying snowflakes are as big as the palm of your hand...

The two low-level vampires were completely frozen. The huge rotating snowflakes passed by, bringing with them strings of blood, and were frozen into red slag in the air.

Seeing that something was wrong, the man in black turned into black wind and disappeared in the snowstorm...

The two monsters were cut into pieces of meat and ice by the blizzard, and then completely shattered with a snap...

Marvin stopped casting spells and kept his shield waiting. He knew that the high-level vampire had not left.

Gradually, the wind calmed down, the snow stopped, and I could see my surroundings clearly...

The outer layer of the two-story wooden building has been covered with a layer of ice, and a layer has been scraped off the main entrance. The wooden walls have completely disappeared in several places, and the rooms inside can be seen...

The man in black walked over slowly, white air spurting out from his nostrils as he breathed, and his long claws kept rubbing against each other. The scratches on his body have healed, only the black clothes are still in tatters...

Marvin is still waiting inside the shield. He still has a lot of magic energy left in his body, so he needs to return to blue first...

Marvin took a deep breath and lowered himself to take a picture of Arden's Seal - Gigantization. Although this method had limited effect on suppressing high-level vampires, it was worth it.

The man in black raised his paws and looked wary.

Guswen was pulled out of the void, and at the same time the runes on the blade lit up, and Quen shielded his upper body. Marvin touched the pendant, turned off the shield, and hooked his hands at the man in black.

This provocative action made the vampire furious. He roared angrily and turned into a black wind and rushed towards him.

Marvin calmly stared at the enemy until he appeared again and his claws fell from the sky.

Alder's Sign - Biting.

The man in black was knocked over by the impact and was instantly frozen. Alder - The biting effect should not be too good when combined with the surrounding low temperature.

Marvin took two steps in succession, and without waiting for the enemy's whereabouts, he slashed the long knife along the opponent's open middle door, creating a huge wound from his left shoulder to his right rib.

Snap, the high-level vampire's body was inhuman. It was frozen for only a moment before it burst through the ice and stumbled to the ground.

Marvin took another step forward and ducked to avoid the sharp claws, turned around, lifted up, and made a huge wound on the enemy's side.

The vampire screamed again and stumbled sideways.

Marvin slashed with the knife in his right hand.

The man in black raised his claws to block, but missed the target and was kicked in the thigh by an iron boot.

His footing was already unstable, so he received a kick on his lower body and fell backwards.

Marvin held the knife in both hands, facing the fallen enemy, and raised the knife.

The blade was about to hit the vampire's neck...

Bang, the monster turned into a ball of black wind and ran away...

Heifeng returned to his human form outside the purple magic circle and touched the wound on his chest with a surprised look on his face.

Marvin swung the long knife and looked at the other party.

To be honest, high-level vampires rely on their speed and strength. Marvin's strength and agility are not low now, especially his dynamic vision and reaction ability. He can beat him in close combat.

The vampire suddenly asked: "Why? Just for a few ordinary people?"

There is one thing Marvin really hates: "Being used as food by another intelligent species makes me sick."

After saying that, he pointed his long knife diagonally at the ground and hooked his hand at the opponent.

The battle continues...

The vampire tore off his tattered shirt and let out a painful roar. The skin on his back surged, as if something was about to burst out of his body.

Snap, two balls of blood exploded from its back, and two thick limbs with spikes bent forward from its shoulders.

Bang, another pair of huge bat wings popped out of its back, and it was about to unfold.

Marvin would not wait foolishly for his enemy to complete his transformation.

Teleporting and appearing in the air behind it, he held the long knife upside down in his right hand and inserted it from the base of the monster's left wing. He grabbed the bat wing with his left hand and pulled it down with all his strength with both hands.

Click, click~~~~

One of the monster's wings and a large piece of flesh on its back were torn off.

The transformed vampire let out a loud howl and fought back with a huge blow.

Marvin barely blocked it with his left arm and the big wing in his hand.

Bang! The world is spinning...

When he stopped, he found that he had landed more than ten meters away from the vampire. If it weren't for the barn wall, he would have gotten farther out.

Marvin shook his head and tried to stand up. His left hand must be broken and he couldn't lift it up at all. His ribs were in severe pain. He didn't know how many were broken.

There is also bad news, the tip of Guswen's knife is also broken, about 2cm.

He sighed secretly and swelled as he slapped, fuck!

The vampire was still screaming and circling, trying to touch the wound on his back, but he couldn't reach it.

Marvin suppressed the pain, walked towards the enemy, took down another Yarden Seal - Gigantization with his right hand, and then drew out the long knife again.

He watched the monster scream and spin around, only to realize that the vampire in this state had no eyes...

It's a lot to describe, but in fact it was only a few seconds before Marvin tore off that wing.

The monster finally stopped worrying about the injury on his back, turned to Marvin, and crossed a distance of more than ten meters in a flash.

This time it learned the lesson and didn't jump up. Instead, it grabbed Marvin's disabled left arm with its right paw.

Teleport.

Marvin did not appear behind the monster, but on the left side.

Sonic boom.

The explosive sound exploded next to the monster's ears, and the monster fell down wailing...

Because only the right wing was left, it was falling to the right...

Teleporting again, Marvin appeared on top of the monster, holding Guswen in his right hand, stabbing a knife into the vampire's wide-open mouth, and nailing it to the ground at the same time.

Guswen had no knife tip, and Marvin teleported to the top of Guswen for the third time, stepped on the knife with his right foot, and stomped hard.

Click, puff.

He jumped away with the force of the step, rolled on the ground, and continued to distance himself.

After a while of operation, Marvin realized that the vampire was completely motionless.

After a few seconds, the monster slowly turned back into a human body.

Marvin limped closer.

Guswen's knife weight ball is a not very sharp four-sided metal cone, used to break armor at close range.

Although the step on the knife just now was very cool, his sole was pierced, but fortunately there was a sole, so the injury was not serious.

Pulling out the Gus pattern, carefully drying it and putting it away, Marvin panted, looking at the face for a long time, and his memory gradually became clear...

This high-level vampire is Regis, Geralt's friend, a member of the female search team, the wisest member of the team, and the most humane vampire. Note ①

As for why Regis is like this now, he has no time to think about it now.

Marvin drank two bottles of healing potion (Temeria Royal Special Edition), picked up two wooden boards, fixed his left arm, and bandaged it to hang around his neck. The injury was stabilized.

He walked into the two-story wooden building with no main entrance. Let the two women hiding on the second floor go back to town.

The women cried and shouted, and they were quite unwilling to give up until Marvin put the knife on their necks.

Because these vampires not only don't kill them, but also give them money, they are very good PIAO customers. It seems that the breeding method of these monsters has improved a lot, from captive breeding to free-range breeding.

The corridor on the first floor leads to the basement, where Regis sleeps in a stone coffin, as well as a pile of wine bottles and a strong smell of alcohol. It seems that Regis is now a drunkard in addition to liking to suck blood.

The three children hid in the basement, and Marvin also asked them to hurry back to Hollingburg, otherwise...

After driving away the irrelevant people, he dragged Regis's body, temporarily regarded as a corpse, into the stone coffin in the basement.

High-level vampires cannot be killed. Only high-level vampires can kill their own kind.

When Regis teamed up with Geralt to find Ciri, Viggo Fortz burned Regis into a pile of glass. After several years of recuperation, he was finally resurrected.

Of course, he will not die from this injury at present.

But Marvin looked at the prompts of the learning machine and felt a little entangled.

Regis is a very important character, and Marvin doesn't want him to die just like that.

However, on the one hand, the scene in the barn did make him a little angry, and on the other hand, the attribute points were very tempting...

After weighing all aspects, Marvin finally covered the stone coffin.

If Regis submits it to the learning machine, it will be gone. There will be plenty of opportunities to get attribute points in the future.

Moreover, during his investigation, no one, whether the lord of the territory or the civilians, was investigating this matter. The people here don't care about their own lives, and it's not worth getting angry for them.

Marvin also found Regis's notebook in the sarcophagus.

Although the handwriting is beautiful, it records the beauty of drinking blood, the sweetness of children's blood, the stupidity of humans, the nobility of blood clans, and so on...

He burned the notebook and teleported back to Toussaint Beauclair...

...

Note ①: In the original work, Regis was killed for the first time because he was addicted to the pleasure of sucking human blood and was besieged and killed by angry civilians. After resurrecting several years later, he gave up his lifestyle of sucking human blood and became a herbalist + barber who conforms to "human" nature. The second time was when he saved Ciri, he was burned into glass by Vigfortz and slowly resurrected with the help of Dettlaff. Later, Regis met Geralt in Toussaint in the Blood and Wine DLC of The Witcher 3. There is no explanation of the story and location of his first death, nor the time. Therefore, this is considered a second creation in the book, and the time will not conflict.

Vampires are a group, and Katakan, bat-winged brain demons, and high-level vampires are all members of them. They are not native species here, and they came to the world of the witcher because of Tianqiu. Some fans of the original book speculate that the world where the Ain El tribe is currently located originally belonged to vampires, because Ciri found vampire teeth when she went there. I hold an opposing attitude to this, because the number of vampires is too small.

The vampires in the witcher worldview are different from the concept of most vampires. They are not afraid of sunlight, and they do not have to suck human blood to survive, but low-level vampires can hardly resist the pleasure of sucking human blood. High-level vampires are particularly powerful. While they are powerful, their population is small and their fertility is very poor. The vampire organization in the witcher world is loose. Although there is an ancient vampire named Shadow Elder at the top, Shadow Elder does not actually like to manage things. That's all for the popular science. If you are interested, you can search Baidu.

When I return to the Demon Hunter world in the future, I will see whether I will meet Regis again. We will talk about it then. In addition, in order to improve the playability of the boss battle, the ability of the high-level vampire has been greatly improved. The third and fourth stages are so abstract that they are all abandoned here.

The picture below shows Regis, Regis in the first transformation, and the high-level vampire in the second transformation.

Sorry, I have revised this chapter several times, but I still rushed to publish it today to give back to the readers. Today's data has increased again!!
