The mastermind behind this started by creating a strange story

Chapter 435 Drink the Potion

"Roar!"

The stunned Simon seemed to have angered the demon who wanted to play tricks on its prey, and a roar filled with a foul smell was heard.

The demon suddenly raised its sharp claws and grabbed Simon, who had not yet come to his senses.

But just when the attack was about to tear Simon's body apart, the witcher badge worn by Simon suddenly lit up, and a bright yellow circular shield suddenly appeared.

The shield exudes a thick khaki color, with tiny yellow runes scattered on it, protecting Simon inside the shield.

"Oh!"

The sharp claws collided with the shield, making a dull bang. The demon's powerful attack did not cause any effect on the shield.

"Quinn's Sign?"

Looking at the tiny runes scattered on the shield, Simon murmured, he recognized this seal, it was the seal used by the demon hunter for defense.

But why did it happen to him?

The demon on the side didn't give Simon time to think. Seeing that his attack failed to break the shield, it became angry.

This time the demon leaped high, clenched his claws into fists, and smashed towards the shield.

At the moment the two collided, cracks suddenly appeared on the khaki shield, as if it could no longer hold on.

"Bam—!"

Before Simon in the shield could show any fear, Quinn's shield suddenly exploded, and the impact of the explosion came out and directly acted on the demon's body.

The demon's body, which was larger than a grizzly bear, flew high up as if it had no weight, and then crashed into the house behind it with a bang.

Simon, who had already reacted, used all his limbs to quickly get up from the ground, and then ran away from the devil in a panic.

He didn't know where to run. The houses around the town were tightly closed. Only then did he realize that the reason no one went out on the streets was because of the devil, not because of the weather.

No one would help him at this time, because helping him would mean exposing oneself to the eyes of the devil.

So Simon could only run, and keep running.

He didn't know where he was going. He only knew that he might die if he stopped. He didn't know whether the Quinn Seal could appear again to protect him a second time.

The sound of the wind in his ears gradually faded away, and Simon could only hear his own heartbeat, very loud and fast.

After an unknown amount of time, a long stone appeared in front of Simon. It was the place where magic power was. He ran back to the inheritance cave.

The moment he entered the cave, the energy he had been holding in suddenly dissipated, and the urgency in his heart also suddenly disappeared.

As Simon relaxed, a flickering darkness appeared in front of his eyes. Then he could no longer hold on and fainted with his eyes rolled back.

After a long time.

Simon woke up slowly, and the hunger in his stomach seemed to protest why he hadn't eaten yet.

But Simon, who had woken up, ignored the tingling hunger, propped himself up and stood up from the ground, then sat down on the chair next to him.

After sitting for a while, his confused mind gradually calmed down and his ability to think returned.

However, having just regained the ability to think, he could not help but lower his head, painfully recalling the scene he saw before escaping over and over again in his mind.

The two people in the pool of blood were undoubtedly his parents.

Just not seeing each other for half a day already separated us from each other forever.

The painful memories tortured Simon constantly, making his expression twisted, but he was soon overwhelmed by grief.

It was unknown how long it took before Simon came out of his previous state.

But now, his eyes were red and his face was pale, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.

Simon propped up the table with one hand, took out his cell phone from his pocket and glanced at it. It was now two days since the last time he saw the date.

He didn't know how long he had been unconscious, nor how long he had been in a state of grief. He only knew that two whole days had passed since the day he escaped!

"Cough cough..."

His thirsty throat protested, and Simon could only pick up the distilled water left here last time and take a few big gulps. This was the distilled water left over from when he brewed the potion last time. He didn't expect it to come in handy now.

The cold water flowed through the thirsty throat and then into the empty stomach, restoring some vitality to the body that had not taken a drop of water.

Simon, who had recovered, forced himself to walk out of the cave despite his weak body.

Regardless, he had to know what happened after he escaped.

The weather outside at this moment is much better than the previous two days. It is no longer a gray and cloudy day, but a sunny day with brighter sunshine.

Because of his weak physical condition, even though Simon took a shortcut, it still took him more than two hours.

This time, the town was no longer empty. Although there were still not many people, there were still some people, and these people seemed to be walking towards the church on the west side of the town.

Simon stood there and watched for a while. Not knowing where to go, he simply followed the crowd towards the church.

Although this town is not big, it still has a church. The church here manages the town’s weddings and funerals, and is considered a relatively important place.

Simon mixed in with the crowd and soon arrived at the square in front of the church. There were five rows of coffins on the square. When Simon saw this scene, his head buzzed.

He saw his parents' coffins, the two coffins standing out among the five rows of coffins.

But to him, it was extremely eye-catching and dazzling.

After confirming his parents' death, Simon was in no mood to stay here any longer. He was not yet prepared for his parents' funeral, let alone thinking about attending it.

Yes, he was running away.

Simon quietly retreated from here before the crowd saw him.

He did not go home, because the place had been destroyed by demons, and going back would only add to his sorrow.

Looking at the clear sky, Simon held the badge on his chest and made a decision.

I'm alone now, so I have nothing to lose.

Taking a last look at the town, Simon, holding the badge in his hand, walked towards the place that could give him strength with weak but firm steps.

Simon's silent departure was spotted by the police who came to investigate the situation, but before the police could come to inquire, Simon had already disappeared.

………………

"Um……"

Inside the cave, Simon had a dull look in his eyes. He lay on the ground with his hands tightly grasping the badge on his chest, as if he was dead.

There was a broken glass bottle on the ground nearby, and the strange liquid inside had disappeared. Simon finally drank the herbal potion.

He knew the consequences of his actions, but he did not regret it.

If I die, I will accompany my family. If I live, I will avenge my family.

He could accept life or death, and with this thought in mind, he drank the herbal potion in one gulp.

As time passed, the transformation of his body did not stop. Simon's breathing became heavier and heavier, cold sweat began to appear on his body, and his skin became wet, sticky and smelled bad.

Simon's symptoms did not improve over the following days. His skin was soaked with sweat, then gradually dried and began to heat up. His pulse became intermittent, but maintained its normal strength and did not stop.

I don’t know how long it took, maybe a day, maybe two days, or maybe a week, Simon finally woke up. When he opened his eyes, his eyes were like poisonous snakes.

Chapter 436 Study and Exercise

"Is this the power of a demon hunter?"

His body mutated, his irises turned orange, and Simon's black vertical pupils, like those of a venomous snake, showed no emotion at all.

Usually, a demon hunter's physical mutation will also bring about some changes in personality, but they are not obvious.

At least Simon didn't feel that there was any particular change in his personality, except that he thought faster in his mind.

Having successfully mutated, he was somewhat excited to feel the changes in his body, but soon a foul odor almost made him vomit. It was the cold sweat secreted from his body.

His powerful sense of smell allowed him to easily distinguish the components of the gas, but he was not prepared and could only sense the stench.

It was a smell even more fetid than decay.

Restraining the sensory discomfort, Simon pulled off his dirty clothes, revealing his muscular body.

The originally thin body gained explosive and fine muscles, but it did not turn into the big and beautiful muscles like a bodybuilder, but a streamlined figure.

"My myopia has also disappeared, and my field of vision has become farther. Is this because my five senses have been enhanced after the mutation? That's not bad."

While feeling the changes in his body, Simon's vision was clearer than ever before. He could even see the patterns on the stone ten meters away.

The ears also heard the slight sound of wind in the cave. Although it was small, its source could be heard clearly.

It was this weak breeze that maintained the air circulation in the cave. He could guess it before, but couldn't find its source. Now he could hear it just by his ears.

It took Simon a while to adapt to the enhancement of his five senses. Only after he was barely used to it did he pick up the clothes on the ground.

Although he really wanted to track down the devil and avenge his parents right now, reason stopped him, as now was not the best time.

He is not familiar with his own power yet, and going to find the devil is to die.

The mutation of his body also affected his brain. Now he could think more calmly and his analytical ability was greatly improved.

Due to physical differences, men are usually more rational than emotional, and the mutated Simon has further enhanced this change.

He can now plan his next steps more rationally instead of blindly doing things that he will regret.

The most important thing now is to get used to the mutated body, be able to skillfully control the power gained, and then learn the skills of the demon hunter.

Including swordsmanship, magic seals, tracking and counter-tracking in the Demon Hunter legacy, as well as various means of fighting against demons, etc.

Although you can't become an experienced demon hunter directly, it's better than knowing nothing.

After deciding on the next plan, Simon no longer hesitated, but picked up his clothes and walked out of the cave. He remembered that there was a stream flowing down from the mountain not far from the forest.

You can wash your clothes or catch some fish to fill your stomach.

You can't exercise well on an empty body.

Time passed quickly and Simon didn't know how much time had passed.

After he mutated and woke up, his phone was out of battery and he had no way of knowing the current date. He then stayed in the cave to study and did not step out of the outside world.

When he was thirsty, he fetched water from the stream; when he was hungry, he went hunting to test the results of his training.

Now he could kill a wild boar with one blow of his sword. The hard bones could not block the sword at all. His swiftness could also easily catch a fleeing squirrel.

The weapons he used for hunting were naturally the weapons in the cave, including bows and crossbows and half-swords.

At the same time, he can also light up the mysterious runes on the half-sword in his hand. Those runes are carved enchantment runes.

These runes need to be infused into the sword with the magic power in the witcher's body in order to light up and enchant the sword, using the magical power of enchantment.

Different runes have different effects. Through learning, Simon has mastered most of the knowledge about enchantment.

When Simon felt that he had enough, he decided it was time to go out.

Although he didn't know how much time had passed, he could guess the approximate time based on the length of his beard. It had been more than half a month since he fell into a coma.

More than half a month is enough to change many things. At least Simon knows very well how troublesome it is to track down the demon who killed his parents now.

But he did not regret it. Compared to going to die with nothing, the best option was to hold back the sadness and take revenge after being fully prepared.

"Huh, time to go!"

Simon changed into his original clothes. Although it couldn't be seen from the outside, he actually put on a set of chain mail underneath.

The defense of this chain mail is not weak. He tried to chop it with a sword, but it didn't even leave a mark. It is obvious that the metal used to make this chain mail is very good.

Then he picked up two and a half swords, one was a steel sword and the other was a silver sword. As the book said, the steel sword was used to deal with humans and ordinary demons, and the silver sword was used to deal with some special demons.

Although Simon didn't know whether he would encounter any special demons, it was always better to be prepared.

The silver sword was engraved with enchanted runes to increase the hardness of the blade. Otherwise, given the hardness of silver, it might have bent before it could even inflict a wound on the demon.

The enchantment rune can easily solve this problem, and it is also a must-have enchantment rune for weapons with softer textures.

The two long swords were fixed in leather sword bags. Although Simon didn't know what kind of animal skin was used, his excellent toughness won his heart.

The sword bag can be fixed diagonally on the back or waist, allowing the two swords to be carried as the user wishes.

In a moment, Simon armed himself.

Simon carried two long swords, one made of steel and one of silver, on his back, which allowed him to draw either sword as quickly and easily as possible. He had a crossbow and a bag of crossbow arrows on his back.

He didn't have much equipment, mainly because he had no means of transportation at the moment and there was a limit to what a person could carry.
