It felt so good to be close to the witch!

That means it was burned...

Roy was overjoyed.

As soon as the incineration point appeared, the fighting spirit burning in the body seemed to find a "spot to pour out," surging out, flowing through the whole body, and finally converging into the heart.

Roy opened his eyes and looked at his hands.

At this moment, a layer of pale white, flame-shaped battle aura appeared on his body.

His heart was pounding, his blood and fighting spirit surged through his body, and a powerful force filled his entire being.

Compared to himself before activating the "Burning Heart" secret technique, Roy even felt that he could defeat him with a single punch.

This was not his imagination.

Among bronze knights of the same rank, those who have activated "Battle Aura Burst" have an overwhelming advantage over those who haven't. Furthermore, the "Burning Heart" secret technique is even more powerful than "Battle Aura Burst," further widening the already significant gap and resulting in a crushing defeat.

Even among those of the same rank, "Burning Heart" has a significant advantage over "Battle Aura Burst." Moreover, if Roy were to make a move, the knights fighting him would most likely not have the chance to activate "Battle Aura Burst," and even if they did, they would be forced to withdraw due to a sharp drop in their Battle Aura.

Roy himself can convert his opponent's fighting spirit into energy, thereby replenishing his own depleted fighting spirit and extending the duration of "Burning Heart".

With one increasing and the other decreasing, unless the difference in strength is too great, there is basically no possibility of losing.

“Even knowing that you would learn the ‘Burning Heart’ secret technique quickly with your talent, it’s still unbelievable that you mastered it in one go…” Red exclaimed as he saw the pale white battle aura flames burning on Roy’s body.

"It's mainly because of your experience; otherwise, if I relied on my own hard work, I don't know when I would have been able to master it." Roy released his "Burning Heart" state, and the flames of his fighting spirit slowly died down.

While the "Burning Heart" technique is powerful, its consumption is also exceptionally high.

His 1.52 level of fighting spirit can only last for a maximum of 1.5 minutes.

"I still need to continue my cultivation..."

Roy sighed inwardly.

"Young Master Roy, shall we continue with the live-fire training today?" Red asked.

Upon hearing this, Roy nodded: "Of course, but let's set today's training time at two hours. I have some important things to take care of afterwards."

Time was of the essence, so the two immediately returned to their bedroom and began practical training in the makeshift training ground.

……

Two hours later.

Roy gripped the hilt of his longsword with both hands, parrying Red's horizontal slash from left to right.

A powerful force emanated from the weapon, causing him to involuntarily take three steps back before he could disarm it.

“Not bad, you’ve made great progress.” Across from him, Reid smiled, his face covered in a thick beard.

In just two practical training sessions, young master Roy has made great progress, going from a novice who didn't even know how to hold a weapon to someone who can now defend and block in an organized manner.

Hearing this, Roy shook his head: "I still have a long way to go."

"Uncle Red, let's call it a day."

"Tomorrow is the battle for the territorial merger. Go and see how the knights are preparing. I have some things to take care of first."

Upon hearing this, Red sheathed his knight's sword and nodded in agreement.

He didn't know what young master Roy was going to do, but he could guess that it was probably related to the witch, so he wouldn't ask any more questions.

Although it has only been a few days, in his mind, Young Master Roy has become a mature and reliable lord. Now, all he needs to do is to complete the tasks assigned by Young Master Roy. The rest is not something he should care about or think about.

Moreover, since Young Master Roy has now advanced to Bronze rank, there's less to worry about regarding his safety.

Red left.

After resting for a while, Roy put on his armor and helmet to conceal himself before going to the prison alone.

He has now reached the Bronze rank. Although he still lacks practical experience and weapon skills, his perception as a Bronze Knight is by no means weak. In fact, due to the nourishment of his innate energy, his physique and perception are much stronger than those of a normal Bronze One-Star Knight, and are comparable to Bronze Two-Star Knights.

Therefore, it is now very difficult for outsiders to follow him when he travels alone.

The prison was quiet and deserted. The knight guarding the gate had been removed by Red under the pretext of "training" the day after Roy first came to the prison.

The goalkeeper was overjoyed.

It was so boring to guard an empty prison; the gatekeeper couldn't wait to leave.

In the dimly lit passageway at the bottom of the prison, Roy walked along carrying a kerosene lamp.

Finally, he stopped in front of the healing witch's "room".

After a series of verifications were completed, the semi-illusory door slowly opened in front of him.

Step inside, and the light and shadow shift.

Roy opened his eyes, and the familiar, exquisite room came into view.

The healing witch Shanika sat in a hammock woven from vines and flowers, holding a book in her hands and reading it carefully, humming an unknown melody. Sensing the door opening, she looked up, revealing a serene face with a faint smile. Strands of her hair brushed against her small, platinum-gold ram's horns and fell to her ears.

Good afternoon, young master Roy.

Good afternoon, Shanika, I'm here to take you out.

Chapter 35 I'm entrusting myself to you now~

"I'll take you out..."

Upon hearing this, Shanika, who was sitting on the flower bed, was stunned for a moment, her cherry lips slightly parted.

A few seconds later, she regained her intellectual demeanor and smiled gently.

"Have you found the person behind this?"

“It has indeed been found.” Roy nodded and stepped forward: “Not only that, tomorrow morning, Blackrock Territory will engage in a ‘territorial merger war’ with the other’s territory.”

"You don't seem to be in a hurry, so you must be confident of victory." The Healing Witch Shanica closed the scroll in her hand and put it aside. She then jumped off the flower bed. With her movement, the front of her clothes billowed in amazing waves, showing the owner's wealth and generosity.

Shanica sat down at the desk, about to make Roy a pot of tea, when Roy stopped her:

"Shanika, don't be so polite. I came here today to take you out. As for tea, let's talk about it outside."

“Aren’t you worried that I might suddenly lose control? Last time you only took a tiny bit from me, you know~” Since Roy didn’t want tea, Shanica didn’t insist. She leaned against the wooden table, letting the heavy object in front of her fall onto the table, as if she had breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Roy felt that Shanika's words were strange, he didn't pay much attention to it. He stared at Shanika seriously and said, "When I said I would take you out, I meant that you could live without any worries in the outside world."

"I can completely remove the pollution from your body."

“Completely remove…” Shanika lowered her head and pursed her lips: “I’m really looking forward to it.”

Recalling their reactions during the previous absorption of the witch's corruption, Roy thought for a moment and suggested, "Shanika, why don't you lie down on the bed? The absorption process might be a bit too stimulating; lying down will be more comfortable."

"As you wish." Shanika nodded obediently and got up to walk towards the flower bed.

Seeing this, Roy got up and followed, but Shanika, who had only taken a few steps forward, suddenly stopped and turned around. Caught off guard, the two almost collided head-on.

Roy, who was leaning back as far as he could, almost fell. As soon as he regained his footing, a faint fragrance wafted into his nose. How to describe this scent? Roy racked his brains, but only one word came to mind: "fragrant."

An itch came from my neck, the sensation of a few stray hairs brushing against my skin.

Shanica's cheek was pressed against Roy's ear, less than a centimeter apart, and Roy could even feel the warmth of her soft downy fur.

"Young Master Roy, I'm entrusting myself to you~"

Her soft, sweet voice was like honey seeping into my heart.

Before Roy could react, Shanika had already turned around, put her hands behind her back, and skipped towards the flower bed.

"This……"

Roy smiled helplessly; the personality of the healing witch Shanica was really too much for him to handle.

Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, he walked to the flower bed. At that moment, Shanika was already lying on the flower bed, her hands placed on her lower abdomen, and with a serene smile on her face, she gave people a gentle and intellectual beauty.

"I'm going to start."

Roy took a deep breath, and then he began to take out low-purity magic crystals from his storage space.

Excluding the one that was already filled, there are nine left.

Since he wasn't sure how much he would need, he simply took it all out, just in case.

After making preparations, Roy held a low-purity magic crystal in one hand and placed the other hand on Shanika's forehead.

Actually, based on where the witch's magic power is deposited, the best place to touch her should be the front of her left chest cavity, but that part is too sensitive, so Roy simply changed it to her forehead.

While this method is less efficient, it's unlikely to cause any misunderstandings.

[Infinite Desire], activate!

"Om-"

In the silent hum, Shanika's body trembled, and her hands, placed on her lower abdomen, clasped tightly together.

Meanwhile, Roy's [Infinite Desire] at full power caused him to feel the "saturation" within his body rising sharply!

20%...40%...60%!

Because the pollution needs to be converted into energy, the absorption rate is relatively slow, but there is still 20% per second, which is equivalent to level 2 pollution!

Without hesitation, Roy immediately channeled the energy that had been converted from his body into the low-purity magic crystal he was holding in his other hand.

After consuming 50% of its energy, the low-purity magic crystal reached saturation and successfully transformed into a "magic crystal grenade".

Roy quickly put it into his storage space, and then picked up the second low-purity magic crystal.

Absorb, transform, and input low-purity magic crystals...

It wasn't until he successfully created the 8th "Magic Crystal Grenade" that Roy was able to completely absorb the pollution from the Healing Witch's body.

Eight magic crystal grenades, each consuming an average of five units of energy, mean that the energy gathered to heal the pollution within the witch's body totals a full 40 units!

This is such a terrifying number.

It should be noted that the limit for a Bronze Three-Star Knight is only 9.9 strands of battle qi.

No wonder Reid once said that one needs at least the strength of a Silver Knight to protect oneself when facing a witch.

The difference between 9.9 and 40 is unimaginable.

The difference between them is not only in quantity, but also in purity.

The strength of the healing witch Shanica is far from being considered powerful among witches. If it were the ice witch Ais, how much magic power would she have?
