It felt so good to be close to the witch!

Its effects are peculiar and powerful, but its use comes at a great cost.

Roy couldn't help but recall the first forbidden object he had ever encountered—the cursed doll.

That was a forbidden item that the Ice Witch Ais and the Fox-Eared Witch Elena "accidentally" obtained. Judging from the progress of the energy reserves after absorption, it should be the lowest-level C-grade forbidden item.

Even though it was only the lowest level of forbidden item, the cursed doll still brought huge side effects to the fox-eared witch Elena after she used it.

If Roy hadn't intervened, the fox-eared witch Elena would have eventually turned into a monster due to the side effects of the cursed doll.

At that time, the Ice Witch Ais and the Fox-Eared Witch Elena probably didn't even understand the concept of "cursed objects." After learning about its powerful effects, they couldn't wait to use it on Roy.

"But don't worry, the Lost Ice Coffin only requires a price to be paid when it is closed. Opening it does not require such a price. As long as you input energy at the level of a Grand Witch or a Gold Knight, it can be forcibly opened from the outside."

Roy frowned slightly: "So easy? After paying such a huge price to seal something into the lost ice coffin, it can be opened from the outside so easily..."

The Moon Witch Cecilia gave Roy a strange look: "Who told you that the main function of the Lost Ice Coffin was to seal? Didn't I just say that its main function is to isolate, to isolate the contents from all contact with the outside world?"

"Moreover, it is relatively easy to open it from the outside. To open the Lost Ice Coffin from the inside, unless one's strength exceeds that of the Great Witch, it is simply impossible."

"So that's how it is." Roy smiled awkwardly, his mind racing.

The Border Dukes' objective is clear: the Lost Ice Coffin, an A-level forbidden item. Given this, they must be well aware of the specific effects of the Lost Ice Coffin.

Isolation, isolation... Under what circumstances would it be necessary to use it? And it needs to be "isolation" at the level of a Class A contraindication...

"call……"

Roy exhaled softly, and his mind quickly calmed down.

Whatever the Border Duke wants to do with the "A-level forbidden item - Lost Ice Coffin" can be considered later. The priority now is to help the Moonlight Great Witch Cecilia regain control of her original form. This is not only about the survival of the Moonlight Great Witch's normal personality, but also about whether Roy himself and the Shadow Witch Lilia can leave this place.

"Let's get started on the plan..." Roy said in a deep voice.

The Feast Festival lasts only one day, and more than an hour has already passed.

Roy couldn't determine how long it would take for the Moon Witch Cecilia to seize control of the body, so he could only begin his operation as soon as possible.

If today is missed, even if the Moon Witch Cecilia regains control of her original form, she will have to wait until next year to leave.

A year has passed... What will happen to Blackrock Territory? What will become of the Ice Witch Ais, the Healing Witch Shanika, the Light Witch Vivian, and the Fox-Eared Witch Elena?

With such a powerful enemy as the Second Prince lurking in the shadows, how could Roy feel at ease?

A year has passed, and it's all too late.

The Moon Witch Cecilia nodded and, along with Roy, turned her gaze to the lost ice coffin not far away.

(Sob, I was on holiday and had too much fun, so there's not much to update today. Sorry, I'll post a big update tomorrow!)

Chapter 96 Seed of the Dark Moon

(A long chapter of 7,000 words, please subscribe!)

The A-level forbidden item - the Lost Ice Coffin - looks like an opaque coffin made entirely of ice crystals, with perhaps a few more patterns on its surface. Overall, if Roy hadn't known beforehand, he would never have been able to associate this thing with a forbidden item, let alone an A-level forbidden item.

Beside the lost ice coffin, Roy and the Moon Witch Cecilia stood side by side, while not far behind them was the Shadow Witch Lilia.

"Are you ready, Cecil?" Roy said softly, his hands unconsciously clenching and unclenching, revealing that his inner state was not as calm as it appeared.

The Moon Witch Cecilia smiled slightly: "Don't be nervous, Roy."

"As you told me before, there are some things that only make sense if I, as a family member, do them myself."

“I think that makes sense.”

"Therefore, I will do my utmost to achieve this goal."

"I will buy you enough time. All you need to do is make contact with my main body and absorb the pollution within the mad personality."

"Even if I ultimately fail, I will use my last remaining consciousness to send you out."

"So, don't be nervous or worried, just let things take their course and do your best."

"By the way, Miss Shadow Witch Lilia, could I ask you for a favor?"

Behind the two, the Shadow Witch Lilia was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered: "Cesir... Madam, you said something."

“Just call me by my name Cecilia, like Roy does. No need to be so polite.” Cecilia, the Great Witch of Moonlight, said in an ethereal voice, “When we are on our mission, could you please protect us? I will leave behind a Dark Moon Seed that you can control, allowing you to unleash power between the pinnacle of Grand Witch and Great Witch for a certain period of time.”

"Your innate ability, if I'm not mistaken, is shadow magic, right?"

"Dark Moon and Shadow share some commonalities. Experiencing the Seed of Dark Moon may help you improve your strength in the future."

Upon hearing this, the Shadow Witch Lilia nodded without hesitation: "I'm willing."

For Lady Roy's safety, even without the Darkmoon Seed, absolutely no one is allowed to approach the island before she falls!

“How wonderful…” Moonlight Witch Cecilia smiled. She could sense a strong emotion in the eyes of the black-haired, black-eyed girl in front of her, and the person corresponding to this strong emotion was right beside her.

Raising her hand, a dark blue, shimmering ball of light flew from the palm of the Moon Witch Cecilia and hovered in front of the Shadow Witch Lilia: "Hold this Seed of Dark Moon. It will merge into your body. When you want to use it, simply activate it with your consciousness."

"It should be noted that the Seed of Dark Moon can only last for half an hour at most, after which it will dissipate, so try not to use it unless it is absolutely necessary."

"I entrust the task of protecting you to you."

The Shadow Witch Lilia received the Dark Moon Seed, and the moment her palms touched it, the Dark Moon Seed merged into her body and resided in her heart.

Seeing the Shadow Witch Lilia accept the Seed of Dark Moon, the Moon Witch Cecilia turned her gaze back to Roy:

“I’m ready, Roy.”

"Phew..." Roy let out a long sigh and nodded vigorously: "Then, let's begin."

The Moon Witch Cecilia smiled faintly at Roy, then her expression gradually became solemn and serious. She raised her hand and gently placed it on the surface of the Lost Ice Coffin. In the next instant, a surge of magical power rushed into the Lost Ice Coffin from her hand.

"Om..."

A loud buzzing sound rang out, and under the gaze of Roy and the Shadow Witch Lilia, the colorless patterns on the surface of the pure white Lost Ice Coffin were covered with dark blue, making it look as if it were wrapped in a magnificent and eerie dark blue spider web.

The dark blue light flickered on the surface of the lost ice coffin, giving people a strange feeling that the lost ice coffin had "come alive" and was breathing.

When all the patterns were filled with dark blue, the surface of the Lost Ice Coffin suddenly brightened, and a faint "satisfied burp" could be heard before the light quickly dimmed.

"frame……"

As the Moon Witch Cecilia exerted force, the lid of the Lost Ice Coffin was pulled open, and wisps of icy mist rose, revealing a slender figure that appeared and disappeared within.

"Ding--"

Two crimson lights shone in the icy mist. Roy, who was staring at the lost ice coffin, felt as if a hammer had struck his forehead. A strong sense of dizziness suddenly struck him, causing him to involuntarily step back and his vision to go black. Meanwhile, the shadow witch Lilia, who was also staring at the lost ice coffin, also had a moment of disorientation.

Beside them, the Moonlight Witch Cecilia, noticing Roy and Lilia's state, narrowed her eyes. Countless dark blue streams of light surged from her doll-like body, like a torrent, falling into the ice coffin and merging into her main body, which was about to rise.

"..."

The half-risen body suddenly stopped, and within its pupils, blood red and dark blue intertwined wildly. The out-of-control body fell back into the ice coffin.

Nourished by the silver energy within his body, Roy's dizziness quickly subsided, and he regained consciousness even before the Shadow Witch Lilia.

At this moment, the dissipating icy mist had dissipated, and the scene inside the ice coffin was clearly displayed before Roy's eyes.

Inside the coffin, which was entirely made of ice crystals, lay a girl who looked exactly like the Moon Witch Cecilia in her doll form, only her size was proportionally enlarged and she was about 1.6 meters tall. In her eyes, blood red and dark blue were constantly clashing. It was clear that the dark blue side was being defeated by the blood red and was being eaten away little by little.

Without external intervention, the normal personality represented by Dark Blue would undoubtedly lose in this struggle for control of the body.

Without a moment's hesitation, Roy rushed forward, one hand bracing against the trunk of the dark purple crystal tree beside him, the other pressing against the left chest of the Moonlight Great Witch Cecilia.

The Lost Ice Coffin and the Dark Purple Crystal Tree were very close together. With Roy's arm span, he could touch the body of the Moon Witch Cecilia with one hand and the trunk of the tree with the other.

In this critical moment, Roy disregarded any notions of gender and absorbed the contamination from the location closest to the witch's heart, which was the fastest way!

One hundred and fifty years of freezing did not make the Moon Witch Cecilia's body stiff and cold; instead, it remained as gentle and warm as a normal person's.

At this moment, Roy had no time to appreciate the softness of the Moon Witch Cecilia's body. The instant he touched her, he activated his talent [Infinite Desire].

"Om-!"

The full-power, unreserved extraction of contaminants begins at this moment.

The pollution, as deep and dark as a swamp in the ocean, surged into Roy's body.

Because there is no conversion, the absorption of pollution is faster, and because it is close to the Witch's Heart, the speed is further increased, reaching a speed of 0.2 per second.

According to estimates, at this rate of extraction, it will only take 165 minutes, or two hours and forty-five minutes, to complete the absorption of all the pollution from the insane personality, which is twice as fast as planned!

Roy's arrival and the extraction of pollution have brought tremendous changes to the blood-red and dark-blue battlefield of consciousness.

A mad personality is a deformed product of a delicate and complex balance between murderous intent and corruption. The disappearance of the corruption breaks this already unstable balance, causing the power of the mad personality to begin to decline.

This manifested as a brief slowdown in the encroachment of blood red on dark blue.

However, the mad personality is not without intelligence. Roy's arrival and the disappearance of the pollution made it feel threatened like never before. Therefore, even though its power was weakened, its more frantic struggles actually accelerated the rate of its devouring.

The terrifying pollution traveled through Roy's body and into the dark purple crystal tree he touched with his other hand, causing its surface to shimmer with streaks of pitch-black color.

But Roy had no time to pay attention to any of that. His gaze was fixed on the eyes of the Moonlight Great Witch Cecilia in the ice coffin, watching the battle between the crimson and dark blue, fearing that the normal personality would be defeated.

Fortunately, the normal personality represented by the dark blue side was surprisingly resilient, and stubbornly held on against the even more intense offensive of the crazy personality of the blood red side.

The struggle of the insane personality could not last long. After the initial outburst, it gradually weakened. In addition, Roy's continuous absorption of pollution weakened the power of the insane personality, and the normal personality slowly stabilized.

Seeing this, Roy's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

The most dangerous moment has passed. Now, as long as we proceed step by step, it is only a matter of time before the normal personality defeats the insane personality and regains control of the original body.

Seeing this, the Shadow Witch Lilia, who had recovered, breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she looked around, remaining vigilant and on guard.

……

Just as Roy and the others' "Physical Body Retrieval Plan" was in full swing within the Magic Pulse Space, outside, on the Star Lake, the Ice Witch Ais, atop the Ice Crystal Pillar, had slightly recovered some of her magic power and slowly opened her eyes.

After the pollution was completely removed, Ais could clearly feel that not only was there no more lag in the use of her innate abilities, but her magic power also recovered almost twice as fast.

This is also the root cause of her misjudgment of her own combat strength.

In her original estimate, even if she drew the "Bloodline Ice Sword", she could at most deal with a peak Gold Knight.

Unexpectedly, in the end, even when fighting two against one, she managed to suppress the Crimson Sword Callus and the hooded figure in black robes. If it weren't for the fact that she hadn't been promoted to "Grand Witch" for too short a time and hadn't accumulated enough magic power, she alone would have been confident of completely capturing these two golden knights.

In fact, a normal witch who has just entered the "Grand Rank" has a combat power that is roughly equal to that of a three-star Gold Knight. The Ice Witch Ais's combat power is much stronger than that of other Grand Witches of the same rank because of her perfect evolution of talent and the complete removal of pollution. She was able to do the amazing thing of defeating two peak Gold Knights in a one-against-two battle.

After scanning her surroundings and confirming that there was no trace of Crimson Sword Callus or the figure in the black robe and hood within a radius of several hundred meters, the Ice Witch Ais breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But it's just a little bit.
