Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

"Hiss—" Charles was stunned: "Isn't this effect too strong?"

In the dungeon, Sharl also learned a lot about monsters from Chardo, including creatures like mermaids and songbirds. In reality, these two creatures didn't have such a powerful hypnotic effect; at most, they would give adventurers some mental suggestions, causing them to subconsciously approach.

But right now...

"I can actually control human actions directly with my singing? That's no less powerful than the goddess of beauty, isn't it?"

To confirm his suspicions, Ciel unleashed his magic once more.

A dazzling light burst forth from Maru's body and transferred into Lily's body.

This time, Ciel clearly sensed resistance, but due to the hypnotic effect, he could still temporarily control Lily...

Marie was also awakened by her beautiful singing voice.

She blinked and wrapped her arms around Lily's: "Xielu (Charles), it sounds nice, teach me..."

With that in mind, Ciel simulated the melody word by word, teaching Maru the tune.

A moment later, a melodious yet poignant tone emanated from the mermaid's throat, and as the sound waves surged, Ciel did not feel any manipulation...

"strangeness……"

At this moment, Lily also woke up. Lily, who was behind the spirit, quickly saw the soul of Ciel inside her body.

"Lord Ciel... what is this?!"

Sensing the fluctuations in Lily's soul, Sharten squeezed out of Lily's body and appeared behind her.

"Don't be nervous, it's just my magic."

"Magic?" Lily looked confused. "But your magic isn't summoning oranges?"

Charles's expression turned serious: "Knowing too much isn't good, Lily. I don't want to repeat myself..."

After a pause, Charles sneered, "To be honest, I'm quite surprised you're back. I was already prepared for you to run away with the money."

Lily held her breath: "Lord Ciel, I am utterly loyal to you."

Charles: "I said the same thing to Chanis."

Lily: "..."

"Anyway, I'm glad you're back, so here's a little reward for you." Charles grinned. "Now, relax, don't be nervous, let me try again, it won't hurt."

"Eh...you're making me even more nervous." Lily hugged her arms, her face flushed. "That kind of thing isn't allowed..."

“￥%……＆*”

After 15 minutes of persistent pleading and promising payment, Charles finally succeeded.

Feeling Palum's frail body, Charles had a sudden thought and softly chanted:

"Your mark belongs to me, and my mark still belongs to me."

Magical light shone on Lily's body, and Lily, who was behind the spirit, witnessed everything: "You, are using my magic? But... how could this be? I shouldn't have told anyone!"

As the light faded, a familiar face appeared before Lily's eyes—it was herself, but she seemed more mature and older…

Chapter 70 Finana - Transformation!

"Failure...?"

"No, it worked."

Lily didn't know what Charles was planning to do, but it seemed he was using her body to conduct some kind of experiment.

Just like when that so-called "potion" was made, looking back at the history of Orario, I've never seen a level 1 character who could cross three ranks and instantly kill the floor master.

Having witnessed Ciel's wisdom, Lily once again harbored fantasies of becoming an "adventurer," or rather, a "hero."

If Ciel is okay with it, and we're both supporters, then so am I!

Nobody wants to be a supporter forever. Although I hate adventurers, people always end up becoming the kind of person they hate the most, don't they?

At least the strong will no longer be bullied.

……

Charles stood in front of the bronze mirror. At this moment, although Lily still looked the same, her temperament had undergone a tremendous change.

She removed her hood, revealing that her originally ear-length short hair had grown slightly longer, past her shoulders, and still looked messy. Her round, youthful face was slightly elongated, her features were sharply defined, and her expression was somewhat cold and holy.

Especially those fierce, yet maddening, scarlet eyes, which gleamed with an eerie crimson light in the darkness.

His vision turned into a sea of ​​blood, and an overwhelming hatred surged in his heart, driving him mad.

"It actually worked?!"

In the mirror, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the aloof girl.

Lily, in her spirit form, was slightly surprised: "Who is she? Is she Lily?"

Charles was silent for a moment: "No... it's Finana."

"Huh... What?!" Lily paused for a second, then exclaimed in surprise, "That... that goddess from the Lilliputian legends? Lady Finana? How could she..."

Countless questions and thoughts flooded her mind at that moment.

Lily desperately wanted to know why the goddess looked exactly like her. And how did Charles know what Finana looked like? And what were those scarlet eyes? Magic? No, that's not right…strange.

Charles was also quite surprised.

"Your magic will inherit corresponding traits based on the race of the imitator. For example, orcs will have heightened senses, while elves will consume less magic power..."

"Yes... but..."

Charles nodded: "These eyes are also a miracle of Fenana, something that is ingrained in her blood and engraved in her soul. They are both a curse and a special talent."

"It can enhance your combat power in every way; if recorded in terms of favors, it would be..."

【Ferocious Demonic Spear】· Berserk Magic.· Extremely high enhancement of all abilities.· Impaired judgment due to a surge in battle intent.

Yes, it is a magic that the hero has not yet revealed.

The difference is that Fenana's state is constant and cannot be switched on or off.

Similarly, the werewolf race has the unique talent of "Howling Moon," an ability that should have been inscribed in their racial talents but was transformed into a skill in the Age of Gods.

Lily could theoretically inherit this as well, but she would most likely need to use an ancient hero as a template to fit the role.

Charles confirmed his guess, closed his eyes and said, "Come on, it's your turn to try the current state. Remember this feeling and appearance, and try to see if you can transform on your own."

As the dazzling lights alternated, I opened my eyes again. The resolute look had vanished, replaced by a touch of tenderness.

In the instant the transition was complete, countless images flashed through Lily's mind: monsters, kingdoms, knights, oaths. Her younger brother…

“This is…” Lily’s pupils trembled violently.

"what happened to you?"

"I...don't know." Lily covered her head, cold sweat seeping out and quickly soaking her clothes.

"Relax, come on, switch, quick!"

As Charles finished speaking, the room of the mind opened completely, and the souls were exchanged once more.

This time, however, during the exchange, Ciel unexpectedly saw the shadow of another person in the Mind Room.

"Feniana? What... what's going on?"

The man turned his head, his scarlet eyes scrutinizing Ciel: "Want to make a trade?"

"What do you mean?" Charles asked, puzzled.

Finana parted her thin lips slightly: "Exchange names with me, inherit the name of Finana, and raise the banner of courage once more. As part of the contract, you will gain my skills."

Charles looked at Lily: "What... do you think?"

Lily felt as if she had been struck by a tremendous opportunity. Could it be that I am actually the protagonist?

“I…” she began nervously.

“It wasn’t her.” Finana tilted her head, her eyes fixed on Charles. “I’m asking you.”

"Huh?" Charles pointed at his own nose. "Me? Ha? You've got it wrong, haven't you?"

Finana tilted her head again: "She can't swap names, but you can."

Ciel frowned in thought: Could it be due to possession? I am now considered to be the same person as Lily, so this thing that looks like a Heroic Spirit has mistaken me for someone else?

Moreover, from the very beginning, Charles had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

The magic's effects inexplicably became incredibly powerful.

In theory...

The spell "Cookware Girl" didn't have such amazing effects. It was already quite beyond Charles's expectations that he could inherit the Fierce Magic Spear.

But now...

Recall the effects of the skill that was drawn this time.

The effects of "repeatedly jumping around" and "Hawaii Trainee" shouldn't occur, so the problem lies in...

[A Dual Destiny]?

I remember this is a skill of Alfia, and it is very likely a manifestation of her talent.

【Talent Calamity Price】 only removes the restrictions on ability values; the negative effects are more about the price, and it has little to do with her talent-type ability, "Monster of Talent".

It is because he stole his "supreme bone" from his "younger sister" from the womb (humorous) that he has his current strength.

However, in her view, "heterochromia is an invincible path, why need to take someone else's bones?", she felt particularly guilty towards her younger sister.

And right now...

"The problem...could it be my sister? Is she still alive?"

Although the two are not twins, they can still trigger the [Dual Fate] effect, plus the identity synchronization brought by [Yuumi's Deployment]...

In other words, I now possess the talents of Lily, my sister, and myself, which may also include "skills," "magic," and even... "development capabilities"?
