Wizard: The exploration panel keeps me pure.

At this moment, everything around us began to undergo some inexplicable change.

Flowers, trees, birds, beasts, fish, insects, and all things seemed to be under some magical influence, beginning to fall into chaos. What was once full of vibrant colors now only had one hue:

Red, a bewitching red like blood.

Everyone present began to become subconscious under this influence, yet they themselves were completely unaware, continuing to walk in one direction as if all the changes around them did not exist.

Besides Ron, there was also the black cat perched on Alice's shoulder.

Only the two of them were aware of the changes in their surroundings.

Ron was already in a state of half-madness and half-consciousness, while the black cat, the former moon goddess Seridwin, seeing the bloodshot look in the boy's eye, couldn't help but recall the task that gentleman had given her earlier:

At the crucial moment, he regained his senses.

That's why she was here, thinking about what the gentleman had told her, while watching the boy's trembling body in front of her.

He climbed off the girl, shook himself off, and walked gracefully toward Ron.

Ron ignored the kitten in front of him, or rather, his consciousness was completely occupied and attracted by the red moon in his mind, and he did not notice that there was a cat walking towards him.

At this moment, the silvery-white bright moon that had previously appeared in his spiritual sea has disappeared, replaced by the familiar red moon that exudes an eerie light.

Endless light poured into every corner of his spiritual sea.

Ron's consciousness seemed to be bathed in divine light, spreading his arms wide to embrace the red moon that was so close at hand. His expression was calm, but his eyes flashed with madness, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, like a severely mentally ill patient.

At the same time, his body began to undergo some strange changes.

Just like during the previous assessment, a pair of blood-red wings made of flames grew from his back, and fleshy feathers kept emerging from his body. A faint golden hue slowly appeared in his pupils, which were originally red and green.

The space around him began to distort, as if it were being scorched by flames, radiating rolling heat waves.

The surrounding flowers, plants, and trees began to droop and wither under the influence of the high temperature, and some even started to catch fire.

Alice and the others, who were walking ahead, seemed completely oblivious to these anomalies and continued on their way at their previous pace. No one noticed the strange changes happening to Ron, who was walking at the back. Even if someone turned their gaze to the back, they would probably just think it was a natural phenomenon.

[The host has been severely contaminated. Please take immediate emergency measures to reduce the contamination level.]

Just as Ron's consciousness was on the verge of collapse, a familiar panel appeared before his eyes, and the words on it brought the boy's dilated pupils back into focus.

His consciousness, which had been gradually fading, suddenly changed. His gaze began to notice the unusual features on his body and the strangely high temperature around him.

"Oh no!"

Ron, who had regained a little clarity, watched the various anomalies caused by the moon and inwardly cursed.

Just as he was about to use his spiritual power to suppress the anomaly caused by the red moon in his spiritual sea, the three treasures that had been silent and seemingly dead suddenly came to life and began to perform their functions.

Just like in the previous assessment.

【Mel's Rank Suppression Hut】is responsible for absorbing all the pollution, while 【Golden Tree (Seedling Stage)】is responsible for purifying all the pollution by emitting golden light. Finally, the remaining pollutants are thrown into 【Eternal Sleep River】.

Soon, with the combined efforts of these three treasures and Ron himself, the strange changes in his body gradually dissipated, and his sanity, which was on the verge of collapse, was pulled back to the edge of the precipice.

Seridwin, who was about to step forward to help, had already stopped when she saw one side of his body begin to stagnate. She stood there quietly watching, and upon seeing this scene, her heart was filled with turmoil.

In his view, a weak being like Ron was able to completely suppress the ever-growing corruption within his heart.

In his view, a weak being like Ron was able to completely suppress the ever-growing corruption within his heart.

It's simply unbelievable. It's not like she's never been through something like this before, and she managed to get through it all thanks to her own status and the help of the [Eternal Sleep River].

Although she had temporarily placed the River of Eternal Peace on the young man in front of her for some special reason, she did not believe that this guy could use his meager strength to mobilize the power of the Eternal River and increase the pollution in her body.

The only possible reason can be summed up in the word "willpower".

Although she was still somewhat incredulous, when she saw that the boy in front of her had regained consciousness and was looking in her direction, she understood.

Selidwin slowly suppressed his inner shock, and then, as before, asked the boy in front of him in a lazy tone:

"I noticed something was off about you just now, what happened?"

Ron was unsure whether to tell the cat in front of him about the changes in him, even though the cat had indeed helped him before, and it was indeed that old man who brought the lady to his side.

However, his long-standing habits still made him cautious about everyone else:

"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered something, which caused the pollution level to rise."

Seeing that Ron had no intention of going into details, Selidewin didn't want to dwell on the topic any longer. After all, she was worried that she might reveal some flaws. When she came, the vice-principal had told her that she absolutely could not make a move unless the youngest person in front of her was in mortal danger.

To prevent the other party from realizing this, Ms. Moon chose to change the subject:

"Since there's nothing else, let's keep going. Look, Alice and the others have disappeared."

Seeing that the other party had no intention of continuing to pester him, Ron couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, if he really wanted to explain in detail, he really couldn't explain how he had pulled his will back from the brink of collapse.

The best course of action right now is for the other party not to ask, and for me not to say anything, so that we can maintain a peaceful coexistence.

"Okay, let's go."

The black cat jumped onto his shoulder, and Ron followed the direction the group of people had disappeared, as instructed.
