It felt so good to be close to the witch!

However, Fuma knew even better that Roy was someone who excelled at creating "miracles".

So, she wanted to ask Roy to try things she couldn't do herself.

"Break the battle qi seal above...?"

Roy picked up the small conch shell and examined it closely, discovering that it was covered with a very special layer of solid battle aura.

Roy knew nothing about seals, but he was somewhat confident in breaking them.

Even a seal requires energy. If [Infinite Desire God] directly drains its energy, then the so-called seal will break on its own.

Without hesitation, Roy activated [Infinite Desire - God] and extracted the fighting spirit attached to the surface of the special small conch.

Visibly, the solid aura on the surface of the special little conch began to fade, a phenomenon that brought a strong look of surprise to Fuma's eyes.

About a minute later, the fighting spirit on the surface of the special little conch completely disappeared.

Taking the special little conch shell that had been unsealed, Fuma took a deep breath, thanked Roy, and then, without any hesitation, blew it out.

"Woo..."

An indescribable sound wave spread out. Its volume was very, very low, somewhat like infrasound, but it also contained something unique. As the sound rang out, the special little conch turned grayish-white, as if it had exhausted all its energy.

"This is?!"

Roy's eyes showed intense shock.

He had seen this unique fluctuation before.

Such fluctuations occur when the hidden area inside the treasure chamber is opened.

As the sound spread, the long table in front of the two suddenly shattered, revealing a rotating spatial portal as tall as a person.

A few seconds later, a slender and tall figure walked out from there.

“Descendant of the Soros family, I have come at the cost of our contract. What do you seek?”

Chapter 176 First Encounter with the Witch's Guild, The Twelve Seats of Divine Punishment

The pale silver magic, like light and mist, dissipated and expanded, filling the entire room in the blink of an eye.

Amidst countless particles of light, a slender, tall figure emerged from the open spatial portal.

For the legendary knight, simple magical particles could not obstruct his vision, so Roy and Fuma could clearly see the appearance of the newcomer.

She was a woman who looked to be around twenty-five years old. Her beautiful long hair was piled up high and styled into a bun at the back of her head, adorned with a purple and silver headband, giving her a classical and beautiful look.

Her skin was very white, not a sickly pale white, but a translucent white like solidified jade, crystal clear and translucent, like water droplets falling after a spring rain, cool and comforting.

The woman's clothes, like her hairstyle, were not in the mainstream style of the Radiant Empire. If one had to choose, they were more like the classical style of the ancient Hua Kingdom on Blue Star in Roy's previous life—palace dresses with plain colors, simple patterns, and perfect, alluring curves.

The familiar yet distant hairstyle and clothing made Roy's eyes slightly dazed.

"Space ability?"

Beside Roy, Fuma instinctively gasped in surprise.

While spatial equipment is not uncommon in this world, craftsmen can only forge spatial equipment with a capacity of three cubic meters or less. Larger capacity spatial equipment is a rare and precious item passed down from the previous generation.

The Blood Moon War more than 500 years ago destroyed too many traditions. The current forging and enchanting techniques have basically been developed from scratch and still have significant shortcomings.

Of course, the reason why large-capacity spatial equipment cannot be replicated is that the craftsmen's understanding of space is too shallow. If a witch who has mastered spatial abilities were to assist them, it probably wouldn't take long to forge a large-capacity spatial ring, right?

The role of spatial abilities goes far beyond this. Long-distance teleportation between two locations, short-distance spatial teleportation, and so on, all mean that witches who master spatial abilities are inherently invincible in battle. If they are determined to escape, even a legendary peak knight would find it difficult to stop them. As for legendary ultimate knights like border dukes, it's hard to say.

It is said that the legendary Limit Knight's fighting spirit is strong enough to disrupt space. It only takes a little time to hinder the spatial ability witch, which is enough for the legendary Limit Knight to capture her. The reason why the legendary one-star knight was able to shatter the "artificial small magic point" is because the "artificial small magic point" is a manifested fragile spatial gate. If the space is intact, the legendary one-star knight cannot shake it at all.

The witch who emerged from the portal exuded magical energy far surpassing that of a Grand Witch in Roy's perception, yet it also possessed a strange sense of etherealness.

——Big witch!

“Fuma Soros, a descendant of the Soros family, I have come here at your invitation according to the contract. Now you may state your demands.”

"Within my power, I will respond to anything."

A cold, ethereal sound, seemingly drifting down from the heavens, came from the mouth of the woman in palace attire.

As she finished speaking, her gaze casually swept over Roy beside Fuma. Their eyes met, and both of them were taken aback.

Roy was stunned because he saw the black threads in the palace-dressed woman's eyes that almost filled her entire eye. The black, polluted threads, intertwined and constantly moving, resembled an abyss, giving people a chilling feeling.

Vivian in the past was also corrupted to this extent. However, even with the same degree of corruption, one was just a witch and the other was a great witch. The difference in the amount of corruption between them was like heaven and earth.

With such a level of corruption as the Palace Witch, she should have already lost control, but judging from her tone and expression, she seems to be quite lucid? Roy was filled with doubt.

On the other side, the palace-dressed witch's expression changed instantly when she saw Roy's face.

"Are you Roy? Roy Tulumber?"

The hurried, panicked voice shattered the coldness of the palace-dressed witch's voice. At this moment, she was no longer the aloof "fairy," but more like a bewildered little girl who had suddenly encountered someone she cared about.

"You know me?" Roy recovered from his surprise, frowned, and asked in a deep voice.

For some reason, he felt a strange sense of closeness to the palace-dressed witch, but he was certain that neither he nor the original owner of this body had any memory of the person in front of him.

“I…” The palace-dressed witch paused for a moment, then took a deep breath: “Let me formally introduce myself.”

“My name is Latie Gaitner, the Space Witch, the vice president of the Witch Guild, and also your mother’s closest friend.”

"Mother? The Witch Society?" Roy frowned even more.

In the original owner's memories, there were very few memories about her mother, and even her voice and appearance were extremely vague.

Not long after the original owner was born, the original owner's mother disappeared without a trace. According to the old lord of Blackrock, the original owner's mother had passed away.

But now it seems that the old lord of Blackrock Territory was lying? Or perhaps he was hiding many important things?

These are the most important reasons why he left Blackrock Territory, the things he said he "had to do".

Furthermore, according to Latie, the original owner's mother was the most outstanding genius witch in the Witch Guild in the past hundred years. How could such a celestial beauty have married the old lord of Blackrock Territory and given birth to the original owner? Or is the old lord of Blackrock Territory also hiding something, and is his strength really the Silver rank he has always displayed? What is his true identity?

"Yes." After a period of adjustment, the Space Witch Latie had calmed down. She tried hard to make a friendly smile, but perhaps because she hadn't smiled for so long, it was extremely difficult for her, and the final smile even looked somewhat comical.

"Your mother, Freya Amorim, is the most talented witch in the Witch Guild after the Great Witch of Moonlight, Cecilia. She created an unprecedented new system and single-handedly raised the upper limit of the entire Witch Guild's strength."

The name "Freya" made Roy fall silent.

This was the second time he had heard this name; the first time was in a letter left by the old lord of Blackrock.

“We’ll discuss my mother and father later.” Roy took a deep breath. “Ms. Latie, we’ve summoned you here mainly to consult on some very important issues, Fuma.”

Upon hearing her name, Fuma, who was still in shock, snapped out of her daze and quickly replied, "Ms. Latti, hello. Before my father went to the capital, he left behind a small conch shell and told me that if he did not return in three days, I could blow the conch shell, and the person who appeared would tell me everything I wanted to know."

"Today is the second day, and the appointed day has not yet arrived, but I have a strong sense of foreboding. Therefore, I tried to break the seal of battle qi on the little conch and summoned you here. Can you tell me what my father is hiding?"

"Breton Soros, humph!" The Space Witch Latie didn't give the Border Duke a friendly look. Clearly, her relationship with the Border Duke wasn't just bad, it was very bad.

However, Latie was still quite surprised that Fuma and Roy were able to break the border duke's battle aura seal.

It's one thing to dislike the Border Duke, but Latie also has to admit that the Border Duke is incredibly powerful.

Even she, with her legendary ultimate power, would be no match for her in a direct confrontation.

The Great Witch's strength is comparable to a Legendary Three-Star, but the outcome depends on the type of talent and the individual's mastery of that talent. The Legendary Limit, however, transcends two minor realms of Legendary Three-Star; normally, one would need to cultivate to the Great Witch's third stage to have any chance of competing.

Lati clearly sensed the battle aura fluctuations of the two little guys in front of her. One was a Legendary Level 2 and the other was a Legendary Level 1, both of them at the initial stage. Under such circumstances, the two of them were actually able to break the battle aura seal of the Legendary Limit Knight... Even she wouldn't have absolute confidence if it were her.

"It seems the two little ones have a secret."

Thinking this to herself, Latie made no attempt to ask.

Those who can cultivate to the legendary level all have their own secrets, and she herself is no exception. Asking about it rashly will only damage the relationship between the two parties and will not serve any purpose.

"Regarding what you said about what Duke Soros was concealing," Latie organized her thoughts, then spoke in her now cold and aloof voice:

"You probably want to ask why he had to go to the capital in person, right?"

"My innate ability allows me to foresee a certain limit of the future." Fuma nodded vigorously.

"The earth cracked open, the sky was shrouded in darkness, the town was a scene of devastation, and blood stained the earth red..."

"On the hill formed by piled-up bones, a colossal beast roared at the sky..."

"The solid stone walls are crumbling, and blurry statues of gods are rising from the ground..."

"In the future I foresaw, the world would be plunged into an apocalyptic catastrophe, but my father told me that if he could return safely from the capital, none of what I predicted would happen."

“I think my father must know something, but no matter how I ask him, he won’t tell me.”

After listening to Fuma's words, Latie was silent for a moment, her expression softening, and she slowly said, "The prophecy you mentioned, Duke Soros told the Witches' Guild, and I am also aware of it."

"The revelation and prophecy of starlight is indeed a miraculous talent. Unfortunately, you were cursed by the 'A-Rank Forbidden Item - Scales of Displacement' in your childhood, preventing you from cultivating magic. Even after you broke free from the shackles of the 'A-Rank Forbidden Item - Scales of Displacement', it was too late to cultivate magic..."

At this point, Latie's eyes widened in shock: "Wait, no, what happened to the curse on you?!"

"How is that possible? The pollution on your body is practically zero?!"

When Latie stepped out of the portal and saw Fuma, she felt something was wrong. Only now did she realize that Fuma was almost completely free of pollution!

What an incredible thing this is!

The witch's curse is like a thorn in one's side; even with the third level of the Blood Refining Technique and at a great cost, it can only be reduced to 30%, and it is impossible to reduce it to 0.

Latie herself is also plagued by the curse. The reason she can still remain normal is thanks to the new system created by Freya. But in reality, if there were a way to remove the pollution, who would be willing to practice such a new system that requires paying a price?

Faced with Latti's excited question, Fuma shook her head: "I'm sorry, Ms. Latti, I swore a blood oath not to reveal any information related to this."

“This…” Latie was not giving up: “Blood oaths are not impossible to break. The Witch Society has an A+ grade forbidden item. As long as a huge enough price is paid, even a blood oath can be broken.”

Fuma didn't speak, she just kept shaking her head.

At this moment, Roy suddenly spoke up: "I also know a thing or two about this matter, and I am not bound by any blood oath."

"I can inform you once this matter is settled."

"After all these years, surely a little more time won't make a difference between you and the Witch's Guild?"

Hearing Roy's words, Latie breathed a sigh of relief, shook her head, and said bitterly, "I was indeed too worried and confused."

"Let's get back to the matter of Duke Soros."

"Actually, these are all old grudges."
