My Liver Experience in the World of Cthulhu

Chapter 70 Farewell
The golden thread traveled up Croun's arm without being hindered by flesh and blood at all. It was the pure spiritual essence drawn out.

Wisps of golden light converged towards his Yintang and disappeared at a certain location.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, a 'drizzle' began to fall from the sky, and the raindrops formed a vortex and merged into the hourglass of time.

In the quicksand at the top of the hourglass, dots of golden sand are formed.

As the sands of time continue to increase, gray flowing shadows faintly appear on the brass base of the hourglass.

The evil spirits that coexist with the spirit master live in another form in the body of the master. As the ability increases, the characteristics of the evil spirits will appear more.

Crown guessed that in the past, the Sands of Time slowly increased through the accumulation of time. Coupled with his continuous visualization of the golden light spell, those evil thoughts were eliminated before they increased much.

This time, after absorbing the spiritual essence in the spiritual coins, the sand of time increased very quickly, so this change was seen.

Through the time hourglass, he accurately felt that two hours had passed.

At this time, the drizzle in the sea of ​​consciousness has stopped, and the quicksand field at the top of the hourglass has been filled by about one-third.

After his consciousness returned to his body, he lowered his head and saw that the spirit coin in his palm had turned into gray powder.He took out a folded piece of papyrus from his pocket, spread it out and poured the powder into it.

He took out a golden spiritual coin again and continued to absorb the spiritual essence from it.

Another two hours passed, and the spirit coin also turned into powder, and the gray shadow on the hourglass of time became more intense.

Crown could vaguely see its outline: like a deformed octopus with more tentacles. As the tentacles danced, a feeling of restlessness and decay arose in his spiritual sense.

His consciousness exited the sea of ​​​​consciousness, and suddenly he heard someone whispering in his ears.I held my breath and listened carefully. The hall was quiet, and I could hear the even and long breathing of the priest in the distance.

With a stern smile on his face, he stood up and moved his hands and feet, which were slightly numb from staying still for a long time.

It is now 04:30 in the morning. The silver runes in the sanctuary have dimmed by about half, and the gray fog outside is also much thinner.

After Croun moved his body, he continued to sit down cross-legged and began to meditate on the divine will of the Golden Light Curse.

After twelve weeks, he stopped visualizing and sank his consciousness into the sea of ​​consciousness again.

There is a faint golden stream of light on the brass base of the hourglass of time. Where is there any gray shadow?

He opened his eyes and smiled silently. When he looked at the four walls of the sanctuary again, he found that everything had returned to its original state, and the runes had returned to their original gray color.

It's six o'clock in the morning and the sun is about to rise.

Crown turned his attention to the priest. He wanted to leave the sanctuary and bathe in the morning sun to meditate, but he was afraid of disturbing the other person's practice.

While he was hesitating, Nick turned his head as if aware of it, and their eyes met.

The priest smiled and said: "You are in good spirits! How did you feel about the night spent here? There should be special gains, right?"

"It's been a great harvest," Crown said with a smile on his lips, "It's already morning, I want to go back up there, together?"

"Let's go", Nick stood up holding the slate with one hand, and the two of them left together.

. . . .

Time goes back to yesterday evening, before the red moon rose.

Geralt was packing his things in the room, and Alan looked at him with worried eyes.

"Teacher, I'd better go with you. Your current illness is taking more and more energy to control. If there are beasts, monsters, etc. that break in when you are at your weakest, I will worry about you."

The demon hunter interrupted the student with a smile: "There is gray fog outside now, and it is too dangerous for you to go out. But I am already a transcendent, so staying in the gray fog all night will not be a big problem." "It is precisely because it is more dangerous outside. , I'm more worried about you." The boy said with some sadness on his face.

Geralt's tawny eyes were deep, and he put his hands on the students' shoulders: "I have some good things this time. Crown has made a few talismans that will definitely help me a lot and control my inner mania. evil thoughts."

"If what big brother makes can come in handy, I should join you."

Before the boy could finish speaking, the witcher took a deft half-step forward and hit him on the back of the neck with his hands.

Allen lost consciousness.

After picking up his student and putting him on the bed, Geralt sighed, with deep sadness in his eyes.

It was still some time before the red moon rose, and he felt a manic feeling in his heart, which he had never seen before.

In the past, he would only feel this way after the red moon rose, so he was really not sure he could survive this full moon night.

He left his weapons on the table, took out a Pure Heart Talisman and a Golden Light Talisman, lit them respectively, and put them into two bowls of water.

After the talisman burned out, the color of the water in one bowl became as bright as the moonlight, and the water in the other bowl shimmered with golden light.

He picked up the silver talisman water and took a sip carefully.

After a while, he felt a chill filling his heart, and the manic feeling subsided slightly.

He picked up the golden talisman water again and took a sip. A warmth rose from his lower abdomen, but he felt nothing else.

'It's somewhat useful, but the effect is not big enough.' The demon hunter smiled sadly, mocking himself for not having much hope.

He left both of his swords on the table and shouldered one of Allen's steel swords.

Geralt took out a letter he had already written from his arms and placed it under his sword, then drank the talisman water in the two bowls.

He took a deep look at his student, picked up the special torch with holy water added, left the room, walked out of the church, and climbed over the wall.
When the witcher came to the mine outside the town, the red moon rose and spread its crimson moonlight onto the earth.

He quickly tied himself to the iron chain. As soon as he finished all this, his mouth elongated, his ears became pointed and erect, his body ballooned to more than two and a half meters tall, and white body hairs like steel needles emerged from his body. emerged one after another.

"Ow"

Wild howls shook all directions, the clarity in Geralt's eyes gradually disappeared, and his tawny eyes turned blood red.

His sharp claws suddenly slapped on the stone wall, causing rocks to fly and debris to fall down.

"It's over. The red moon has just risen and I can't suppress my crazy wildness. The demon hunter has become a member of the dark creatures. It's really ironic. Maybe they were right to expel me. This kind of darkness cannot be defeated."

"Ouch", the giant white wolf bent its legs slightly, clenched its claws, and howled wildly at the entrance of the cave. Its eyes completely turned blood red.

Then, he grabbed the iron chain with his sharp claws and pulled hard. The iron nails driven into the stone wall had a tendency to be pulled out.

The werewolf's eyes suddenly flashed with silver, like the cold white moonlight.

As waves of chill hit him, half of the redness in the white werewolf's eyes faded, and the color of the eyeballs near his pupils returned to yellowish brown.

Geralt felt a chill that penetrated his soul, and the mania in his heart was immediately suppressed.

"Is that kid's thing really useful?" The werewolf raised his arms and looked at his thick paws in confusion. The wolf's kiss opened and his scarlet tongue stretched out to lick his nose.
