It felt so good to be close to the witch!

However, the former is not only lacking in support and direct combat capabilities, but also has a high degree of contamination, which is known to the temple. The latter has just been pulled back from a semi-out-of-control state, and if it were to forcefully take action, it could only barely exert the combat power of a silver one-star. Facing beings like the Second Prince and the Border Duke... it can only be said that it is better than nothing.

The Ice Witch Ais and the Shadow Witch Lilia, both possessing sufficient combat power, are both wandering witches...

This meant that Roy could not openly confront the Second Prince and the Border Duke.

But that doesn’t mean Roy can’t do anything.

He was never one to sit idly by and wait for death.

Whether the Second Prince's actions against him were intentional or unintentional, they had undeniably impacted his interests, and the two sides had unknowingly become adversaries.

Although the border duke was not an enemy, his ambiguous attitude made Roy no longer dare to trust him.

Waiting for the enemy's "mercy" is undoubtedly foolish.

The magical items beneath Star Lake were obtained by the Second Prince and protected by the Border Duke, so why can't Roy take them?

His current advantage lies in the fact that, in the eyes of the Second Prince and the border duke, he is an insignificant "little guy" who will not attract their attention at all.

He hides in the shadows.

This leaves a lot of room for maneuver.

For example, after the Second Prince's side obtains the magical item, secretly have the Ice Witch Ais launch a sneak attack, then pretend that the Ice Witch was "just passing by". After that, all you need to do is have Ais hide in a secret place for a while, and once the storm has passed, the problem can be solved properly.

There were previous rumors that the Ice Witch had been seen in Blackrock Territory, so her appearance near Star Lake wouldn't seem out of place.

Alternatively, you could try having the Shadow Witch Lilia, accompanied by the Ice Witch Ais, enter the Crimson Rift on the day of the Fertility Festival to obtain the [Arrogance Source] magic item before the Second Prince.

While Ais is undoubtedly stronger as a Grand Master, Lilia is undoubtedly the expert in stealth.

There is plenty of room for maneuver, but sufficient strength is the prerequisite.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be a plan, it would be a joke.

Under the seemingly normal but actually subtly different gazes of Lilia and Shanica, Roy led Ais to a hidden spot inside the treasure chamber.

There are two "alternate dimensions" in Blackrock Territory. One is at the bottom of Blackrock Prison, which is considered Shanika's private room. Roy will not bring any other people or witches into it without Shanika's permission. The other is naturally the hidden place in the library, which is considered the witches' "common room".

The Ice Witch Ais was about to cleanse herself of internal pollution, while the Shadow Witch Lilia and the Healing Witch Shanika tacitly chose not to follow.

Both of them had gone through the process of completely removing the pollution from their bodies. Although they had mixed feelings, they naturally did not want a third party to be involved in the process.

In the courtyard, watching Roy and the Ice Witch Ais disappear, Shanica smiled gently, nodded to Lilia, and then rose and gracefully left.

Lilia bit her full lips, raised her hand to her chest as if remembering something, her earlobes turned slightly red, and then her body disappeared into the shadows beneath her feet.

A night breeze brushed past the lamp in the corner of the courtyard wall, causing the burning candlelight to flicker a few times, like the ever-changing thoughts of a young girl.

……

In a hidden place.

As the half-real, half-illusory door slowly closed, in the small, quiet space, Roy could even hear the faint breathing of the Ice Witch Ais beside him.

The sound was like the first cold wind blowing in winter, making one's brain feel slightly numb.

Roy couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

A secluded room, being alone...

The familiar elements reminded him of the first time he met the Ice Witch Ais.

It was a secret room about the same size as this one, only dimmer and dirtier.

At that moment, he was lying on a circular stone platform that rose from the ground and was engraved with intricate curves, while the Ice Witch Ais indifferently inserted the "cursed doll" into his left chest cavity...

The resurfacing of memories caused Roy's eyes to momentarily daze.

But he recovered quickly.

He shook his head, looked at the girl beside him who was wearing a deep purple dress and had long, snow-white hair draped over her shoulders, and said softly, "Miss Ais, please lie down on the bed."

"Unlike last time, this time the pollution in your body will be completely removed, and you will have a more obvious reaction."

"It will be more comfortable to lie down."

reaction……

The two words Roy uttered triggered memories in the mind of the Ice Witch Ais.

Last time, after she woke up from removing most of the pollution in her body and breaking through to the "crown position", the scene of her being "in the negative distance" with Roy reappeared in her mind. Even though a long time had passed, she could still clearly remember the faint downy hair on Roy's side face, as well as the heat that blew into her neck with her breath and even clung to her skin through the gaps in her clothes.

Ais pursed her lips, said nothing, and hurried to the bedside as if fleeing, then lay down.

A deep purple dress was spread out on the bed, like a blooming orchid, and the girl on top of the orchid was like a fairy among flowers.

Cool and serene.

But this unique charm, at times, only makes one more alluring and captivating.

Whether it was due to nervousness or some other reason, the Ice Witch Ais, lying on the bed, kept her eyes tightly closed, her hands clasped together at her lower abdomen. Because of the pressure from her fingers, the dress at her lower abdomen was rippled in several places, one of which extended along the midline, perfectly dividing the cleavage in two and highlighting a distinct three-dimensional sense of layering.

Roy couldn't help but compare the five witches in his mind.

Without a doubt, the Healing Witch Shanica is the largest, creating a dimensional gap between her and the other witches. Below her are, in order, the Ice Witch Ais, the Light Witch Vivian, the Shadow Witch Lilia, and the Fox-Eared Witch Elena.

Among them, the Ice Witch Ais wins by a slight margin over the Light Witch Vivian, while the Shadow Witch Lilia and the Fox-Eared Witch Elena are in the same tier and there is no need to compare them with the former two.

Calming himself down and suppressing the jumble of thoughts in his mind, Roy took out a crystal box containing high-purity magic crystals from the storage space of the [Original Sin Cube].

After absorbing the pollution from the Shadow Witch Lilia's body, the high-purity magic crystal still had about 46 channels of pollution left. After the last absorption, the Ice Witch Ais only had 35 channels of pollution left in her body. The frequent use of her talent during this period had increased her pollution a bit, but it was still only 36 or 7 channels, which was more than enough for her to absorb.

With his left hand, Roy picked up the high-purity magic crystal from the crystal box, walked to the bedside, and sat down on the edge of the bed: "Miss Ais, please extend your hand. I need to hold your hand so that I can absorb the pollution."

Ais's "nervous" appearance made Roy both amused and exasperated.

Ais was perfectly calm during the last pollution absorption, so why is she like this this time...?

Could it be that the "loss of control" she experienced after her last promotion to Grand Slam left her with psychological trauma?

Roy's words made Ais, who was lying flat on the bed, tremble. She then separated her tightly entangled hands and gently placed her fair left hand on the side closest to Roy.

Roy couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at Ais, who still had her eyes closed.

The Ice Witch Ais, who outwardly appears "cold and strong," is now in such a "weak and nervous" state. The stark contrast makes him somewhat uncomfortable.

All in all, it only took about ten days.

He was the one who used to lie on the bed in the secret room, but now the one lying in the secret room has become the Ice Witch Ais.

The two sides exchange roles.

The unpredictability of life makes it truly difficult to foresee.

Roy shook his head, calmed himself down, and reached out his right hand to grasp Ais's left hand.

The warm, smooth feel came from his palm. Although it wasn't the first time they had shaken hands, Roy couldn't help but marvel at the delicate texture of the girl's skin, which was like the finest white jade in the world.

The moment their hands touched, Ais stiffened at first, then slowly relaxed.

She could clearly feel the reassuring warmth emanating from the large, slightly rough hand holding her left hand, which quickly calmed her down from her initial nervousness.

Roy...

Enveloped in this warm feeling, Ais felt her consciousness becoming somewhat hazy.

At the bedside, sensing Ais's relaxation, Roy no longer hesitated and activated his talent [Infinite Desire]!

In an instant, the pollution that was deeply intertwined with Ais's magic and even her soul was gradually extracted and integrated into Roy's body, where it was converted into energy and stored in a high-purity magic crystal.

35%...30%...25%...

Roy could feel Ais's body trembling. After being cleansed of corruption by the healing witch Shanica and the shadow witch Lilia, he also discovered a pattern.

The more magic a witch possesses when she awakens, the higher the level of pollution within her body.

Time ticked by, and finally, Roy extracted the last trace of contamination from Ais's body.

"Um……"

With the last trace of pollution disappearing from her body, the pain that had eroded her body and mind for years also vanished. An unprecedented sense of exhilaration and comfort made Ais, who had been suppressing the sound in her throat, unable to hold it in any longer.

But before she could feel embarrassed by the voice, an intense drowsiness swept over her, causing her consciousness to irresistibly sink into a deep ocean.

Inside the hidden place, Roy breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he had completely cleansed the two witches of their corruption, the Ice Witch Ais was, after all, a Grand Witch with the highest level of corruption. Before he could truly complete the task, he wasn't entirely confident.

Now that the pollution has been completely removed, Ais, like the Shadow Witch Lilia, has entered a "dormant state" during her talent evolution, and he can finally relax.

Then, filled with anticipation, he turned his gaze to the gray character panel that appeared before him.

He had long been curious about the original sin characteristic of the Ice Witch Ais.

-

[Original Sin Contamination Cluster Detected... In Absorption... Absorption Complete... Original Sin Characteristic Identification in Progress... Identification Complete!]

[Energy reserve progress +85%! — Of which [Original Sin Trait - Pride] accounts for 90% and [Original Sin Trait - Lust] accounts for 10%]

[Current energy reserve progress: 88% - 76.5% Pride, 8.5% Lust, 3% Chaos]

-

When I last activated the [Original Sin Cube - Chapter of Wrath], I only had 2% Chaos energy reserves left. Now, a day has passed, and the energy reserve progress has automatically increased by 1%, bringing the Chaos attribute's energy reserve progress to 3%.

With the addition of the "original sin contamination branch aggregate" absorbed from the Ice Witch Ais, the energy reserve progress has increased by 85% to 88%, leaving only 12% remaining before the next activation of the [Original Sin Cube].

Even if he stops absorbing the "original sin contamination branch aggregate" from the witch's body, Roy only needs to wait another twelve days to light up the [original sin cube].

The high-purity magic crystal now only has about 17 crystals left. Even the fox-eared witch Elena, who has the lowest level of contamination among the two witches, is far from enough to completely remove the contamination.

To completely remove the pollution from the fox-eared witch Elena and the light witch Vivian, we must wait until after the Harvest Festival and collect a sufficient number of low-purity magic crystals from the Star Lake.

Otherwise, they would have to wait for Roy to slowly digest the energy stored in his body and then gradually absorb the pollution for them.

Looking at the prompts on the gray character panel in front of him, Roy fell into deep thought.

"90% arrogance, 10% lust..."

"Is this proportion of arrogance so high?"
