Chapter 181: The Beginning of the Hunt (2)
What Geralt said made Aaron very puzzled, killing Dracula and hunting demons seemed to be completely different things, and they had nothing to do with each other at all.
Dracula is not a demon, and Aaron himself can't figure out why.
"Hunting demons has nothing to do with killing Dracula, but it's the key to how quickly you become stronger!" Geralt said slowly.
"Could it be that there is something in the demon that can make me stronger?" Aaron said, his eyes lit up when he heard this.
"In fact, the body of the demon is a kind of demon source, after we absorb the demon source, the soul will be nourished and become more and more powerful, the more powerful the demon, the better its own demon source, and the greater the effect on your soul. ”
"Didn't I say it before, you mages take the path of strengthening your soul, and absorbing the demon source is a very effective shortcut for you, you don't need to waste time on meditation, and the stronger your soul, the higher the limit of your physical body, so I said that before. ”
Geralt explained the reason for hunting demons in detail.
After hearing this, Aaron suddenly thought of something, and subconsciously said: "Teacher Geralt, is the reason why you have become so powerful in a short period of time is also by hunting demons and absorbing their demon sources?"
According to Geralt, Aaron immediately guessed why he was so powerful now.
After hearing this, Geralt nodded with satisfaction: "Smart, it is through this method that I have raised my soul to the current level, and I also began to understand the existence of rules in the millennium. ”
"Normally, absorbing the demon source is risky, absorbing too much demon source, often the soul will be eroded. In the end, he was destroyed by the evil will and reduced to a demon-like creature. ”
Geralt added this point after talking about the reason for his strength.
"So how do you avoid this risk?" Often, there is a certain amount of risk in the way of strengthening oneself quickly, and Aaron is not surprised by this.
It's just a little curious in my heart, Geralt relies on this method. Becoming so strong is definitely not a matter of luck, and there should be some way to reduce or avoid the risk.
"No, I didn't do anything, I just kept absorbing the demon source, but there was never anything out of the ordinary. Geralt shook his head.
"Didn't you just say that, how could it be!" Geralt's reply was too unexpected. Aaron had an incredulous expression on his face, unable to believe that it would be such an answer.
"Actually, I was very confused at first, but then I finally found out why......" Geralt said what he had learned.
According to him, in fact, the matter of absorbing the demon source is not a secret in the purgatory plane, and the demons will also kill each other and devour each other. Doing so can also become more powerful.
Other beings devour the Demon Source, and the soul is often eroded and assimilated. Eventually, he also became a demon.
At that time, Geralt was in the purgatory plane, and in order to survive, he had to make himself stronger as quickly as possible, and the way he knew was to absorb the demon source, even if it was very risky, because he had no choice.
However. As Geralt absorbed more and more demon sources, his soul was not eroded, nor did he show any abnormal changes, but his soul became stronger and stronger.
At first, Geralt thought that he had absorbed not much magic source. And I was lucky, so nothing happened.
But later, after learning more about this knowledge, he realized that the demon source he had absorbed was actually very much.
A lifeform like he has absorbed so many demon sources should have been reduced to a demon, and even if he has not become a demon, his soul must have been greatly affected, and his mind has become evil, and it is impossible to maintain his original will.
However, Geralt has been fine, so he has been absorbing the demon source like this, and testing it with other lives to find out why.
It wasn't until later that he discovered the cause of the problem, that is, his soul was special and would not be affected by the demon source, and after discovering this, Geralt made a lot of attempts, but did not find that the souls of other creatures would be like this.
It wasn't until later, when he began to understand the rules, that he could see the difference between souls, and every creature of different planes had a difference in souls, and this difference was determined by the rules of the plane of birth.
"Aaron, your soul and I are from the same world, and I can see the similarities, so I have a great degree of certainty that you, like me, will not be affected by the Demon Source at all, and I am at least ninety percent sure of this. ”
"And this method of powerful souls, whether to use it or not depends on yourself, if after absorbing too much demon source, you find that there is an abnormality, you should stop continuing to absorb the demon source. ”
After telling Aaron about the difference between absorbing the demon source and the soul, Geralt did not force Aaron, and left the choice in his hands and let him make his own decisions.
Geralt said this, that is, he is not 100% sure, but at least 90% sure, this probability is very high.
In the face of this special powerful soul method, Aaron was very excited, and the risk could be said to be very small, after hesitating for a moment, he finally made a feeling.
"Mr. Geralt, I've decided to try what you said!"
Sometimes, you really should let it go, and if you're too conservative, you'll miss out on a lot of things.
"Good. Geralt nodded in satisfaction with Aaron's decision, and then shook his right hand, revealing something similar to a pocket watch.
"You take this thing. After taking it out, Geralt threw it to Aaron and said, "This is a demon-detecting watch, I made it myself." ”
After taking Geralt's pocket watch, Aaron took a closer look and found that there were two circles of scales on it, as well as two hands, one long and one short, which looked very similar to a clock.
At this time, the long hand is slowly rotating, while the short hand is shaking back and forth between the two scales.
"Mr. Geralt, what do you think of this watch?" Aaron didn't understand the meaning of the scale on the pocket watch, and he didn't know what the two hands represented. (To be continued......)
