After leaving the revenge scene,
Kiliman did not rush to devour Kovirghm’s residual soul.
This was a world filled with monsters and evil gods where Witchers road. To be safe, he suppressed his eager anticipation, patiently traveled through the night, and only when he reached a prepared cave did he light a campfire, sit cross-legged, and enter a ditation state.
The process of absorbing a monster’s soul and devouring the soul of an intelligent being was fundantally different.
The forr used the power of the soul storm to directly crush the monster’s soul into its most primitive soul molecule state, destroying its will along with it, thus absorbing relatively pure soul power with less resistance.
The latter, however, involved him lowering his own soul defenses, absorbing mories, and fusing souls, rging the other’s soul with his own. It was like experiencing another person’s life—an extrely risky thod.
If the opposing soul had an excessively strong will, it could not only be unhelpful but might cause cognitive errors, ntal fragntation, or even outright madness.
Still, to gain the Witcher’s swordsmanship and knowledge, even knowing the danger, it was worth it.
After preparing himself ntally, Kiliman no longer hesitated. He controlled his soul light orb to envelop Kovirghm’s residual soul and began devouring it.
Though essentially both were just mortal souls without rank differences, Kovirghm’s residual soul had lost autonomous consciousness. Also, because Kiliman had avenged him, he willingly sacrificed himself with little resistance.
With the system’s power aiding him, the soul fragnts quickly dissolved and rged completely into Kiliman’s soul.
For a mont, Kiliman, sitting by the campfire, trembled all over, cold sweat pouring from his forehead. He clenched his teeth and fists tightly, his expression filled with pain, even his clothes soaked through by sweat.
A massive influx of information pierced his mind, flickering rapidly like black-and-white film scenes extracted from mories.
It was as if he was reliving Kovirghm’s life—from starving and freezing as an orphan, to being adopted by mbers of the Viper School, barely able to eat enough.
From childhood training as a Witcher, enduring the grass trial, to surviving the near-death Witcher mutation.
From a rookie Witcher to a tragic death in the tombs of White Orchard.
Kilimán watched all of this from a third-person perspective.
However, since it was only Kovirghm’s residual soul, the mories were not sequential, with many missing parts and dull, fragnted content, making the overall picture chaotic and incomplete.
What he saw probably accounted for only about one-quarter of this Witcher’s life.
Yet even so, for a Witcher with a lifespan of over sixty years, one-quarter of a life was still about fifteen years of mories—a richly colorful life.
The experiences, battles, insights, and life lessons taught him a lot.
Ti passed quickly. The campfire beside him had long since gone out, the moon in the sky replaced by dawn. Beams of morning light filtered through the cave cracks, shining on Kiliman’s face.
Only when that familiar, emotionless chanical sound rang did he awaken from the dreamlike mories.

The mont Kiliman opened his eyes, he felt everything around him had changed slightly.
His body felt lighter, stronger, more agile, and more coordinated.
His Witcher senses seed enhanced—his eyes saw farther, ears heard more sharply, his sense of sll beca keener, and his touch more sensitive.
More importantly, his understanding of swordsmanship and countless instinctive Viper School sword moves, sword techniques, and experience had grown imnsely.
He even mastered two commonly used Witcher magic signs.
Undoubtedly, his strength had greatly improved. Even without the system’s aid, he could be considered a seasoned Witcher.
Previously, his control over his body was only based on ordinary human instinct, able to exert only about 40-50% of his strength.
Now, having absorbed decades of Kovirghm’s Witcher experience, he seed capable of unleashing 60-70% of this body’s potential.
Squinting, Kiliman recalled how to use the Igni Magic Sign from mory and then snapped his fingers at the campfire on the ground.
Snap!
He vaguely felt a flow of mana released from his mutated organ to the outside. The campfire, which had already gone out, suddenly flared up with sparks flying, lighting up the sowhat dark cave again.
Kiliman grinned, revealing a smile.
This feeling was pretty good. Only those who could wield both magic signs and swordsmanship simultaneously were true Witchers.
Before, he had been rely a swordsman with sword skills but nothing else.
Moreover, from Kovirghm’s mories, he not only learned much about monsters’ knowledge and weaknesses but also the recipes for common Witcher potions like Swallow, Thunderbolt, and Blizzard, among others—five common potion formulas he had mastered.
Unfortunately, though the Viper School was very adept at alchemy, Kovirghm’s residual soul contained few mories about alchemical weapons. The only complete formula was for the Witcher’s commonly used beehive bomb.
But reality was not a ga. Apart from so real events, he could not find precious items like pearls or gold in the impoverished hos lacking even pants.
Nor could he find various Witcher recipes in so rarely visited caves or wilderness.
To obtain these skills, besides asking professional Witchers, he would probably have to seek help from sorceresses.
