Type-Moon, isn't this really the other world?

"Well?"

Consciousness broke free from the void of chaos, and Atalanta groggily regained her senses.

tired.

My body has never felt so tired.

Atalanta slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw was a very ordinary ceiling.

"here it is?"

As some vague memories flooded her mind, Atalanta tensed up instantly and stood up abruptly.

The blanket covering her fell onto her legs, revealing her snow-white collarbones and breasts. Atalanta looked around warily.

nobody.

As more memories flooded her mind, the wariness in Atalanta's eyes gradually turned into shame and indignation.

She remembered!

She encountered Lin Jiu'an when she was being controlled by Kama. He defeated her and then used some strange method to make her faint and regain her sanity.

"He definitely did it on purpose!"

Atalanta immediately got out of bed.

The magic enveloped her body, transforming into the armor she usually wore, and she stormed out of the bedroom, ready to confront Lin Jiu'an.

When Atalanta arrived in the living room, she looked around but did not see Lin Jiu'an. Just as she was about to speak, her ears twitched slightly, and her gaze fell on the door that was not completely closed not far away.

As I approached the door, my gaze pierced through the crack in the door.

Atalanta saw the unspeakable scene inside, and her beautiful eyes widened instantly.

"Joan of Arc, actually with him...?"

prior to.

Although she and Joan of Arc were enemies, and Joan of Arc had always wanted to eliminate Lin Jiu'an, Atalanta did not think that Joan of Arc had done anything wrong.

In the other party's capacity.

After discovering Lin Jiu'an, this beast of original sin, we must destroy him.

The two are only enemies because they belong to different camps.

But now.

How could a saintly woman, representing holiness and justice, have gotten involved with the beast of original sin, representing evil and destruction, and in such a 'deep' way?

Chapter Forty-Four: The Fall of Atalanta

"How can this be?"

I peered through the crack in the door at what was happening inside.

Atalanta covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes filled with horror.

Is the beast of original sin really that terrifying?

Reason told Atalanta that she shouldn't keep looking, but no matter what, she just couldn't take her eyes off her.

The traces left by Lin Jiu'an in order to eliminate the magic of Kama in her body reappeared on Atalanta as clearly as a memory. Through the crack in the door, Atalanta held her breath, her beautiful eyes watching the scene of the saintess in distress in the room almost without blinking.

What shocked her even more was their conversation.

"Jiu'an, waah, don't do it both ways at once..."

"Didn't Joan of Arc's mother like it?"

No, I don't like it.

"But you're telling me you're lying."

"I...I didn't!"

Look, is this something a noble saint could say?

Atalanta even had a feeling that Joan of Arc wasn't being forced at all, but rather seemed quite willing.

They even said something like...

Finally, the war between the church's saintess and the inherently evil demon king came to an end. The fallen saintess was completely defeated by the evil sixth beast and collapsed. It wasn't until Lin Jiu'an got out of bed and walked towards the door that Atalanta suddenly came to her senses and hurriedly tried to escape back to her room.

However, due to the extreme panic...

Atalanta accidentally bumped her foot on the door frame as she turned around.

"Atalanta?"

Hearing Lin Jiu'an's question from inside the room, Atalanta froze.

The bedroom door was opened, and Lin Jiu'an looked at the door that wasn't closed, then at Atalanta, whose face was flushed and whose eyes were darting around.

He shrugged and said, "Sorry, I forgot to close the door."

Without waiting for her answer, Lin Jiu'an asked, "How are you feeling now?"

Seeing that Lin Jiu'an didn't bring up the matter of her spying, Atalanta breathed a sigh of relief, but she still didn't dare to look at Lin Jiu'an, and turned her head to say, "It's nothing."

"That's good. How did you become like that?"

As Lin Jiu'an spoke, he closed the bedroom door, walked past Atalanta, and headed towards the kitchen.

Open the refrigerator.

There was an unopened bottle of Coca-Cola on the top shelf of the refrigerator, so Lin Jiu'an stood on tiptoe and took it out.

Incidentally, Lin Jiu'an currently appears as a child.

It was mainly to complement Joan of Arc.

Although Jeanne d'Arc was unwilling to admit it, Lin Jiu'an could clearly feel that the more he acted like her child, the happier she was, and the more obvious the feedback would be. So, Lin Jiu'an simply became the appearance that was commonly seen in Fuyuki City.

In any case, this stance conserves more magic power and there's no need for combat right now.

And to put it more childishly, it's actually not a bad feeling to be held and pampered in the arms of mothers from all walks of life occasionally.

A small horse paired with a large cart is a perfect match.

Do you drink Coke?

"Thank you."

Seeing that Lin Jiu'an had gotten down to business, Atalanta shook off those romantic notions and sat down on the sofa with a serious expression.

Lin Jiu'an casually picked up two cups, poured two cups, and handed one to Atalanta.

As her fingers touched the ground, Atalanta unconsciously recalled the scene of the black mud flowing into her body and the evil sixth beast she had just witnessed conquering the saintess. Her body felt hot again, and she quickly lowered her head and took a big gulp of cola to suppress the erotic thoughts in her heart.

The cool cola entered my body, and the burning sensation lessened somewhat.

"I was with Elsa, Irisviel, Minamoto no Yorimitsu, and Shuten-dōji before..."

Atalanta recounted everything that had happened to Lin Jiu'an.

"Then we plan to go to the Linglong Pavilion Family Alliance."

"I went out first, intending to find a safer route before we all went together, but suddenly a lot of those monsters that attacked you and Joan of Arc appeared and kept chasing me. After I killed some of them, I felt my consciousness becoming increasingly blurred..."

Atalanta fell silent after saying this, and Lin Jiu'an could guess what would happen next, so he didn't need her to explain in detail.

Do you remember the location of the safe house?

"remember."

“Alright, after the full moon ends, Joan of Arc and I will go with you to rescue them.”

"Thank you."

"There's no need to thank me. They say they're closer to me, so I should be the one thanking you."

The red moon is currently at its zenith, and there are still a few hours until it ends at its fullest.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Atalanta, Lin Jiu'an went to the bathroom. Although the entire Tokyo was shrouded in a barrier, the basic functions of the facilities were not greatly affected, and all the equipment in the bathroom could still be used normally.

As Lin Jiu'an was taking a bath and filling the tub with hot water, a tall shadow suddenly appeared on the frosted glass door of the bathroom.

"Jiu'an".

Atalanta's voice rang out from outside.

Lin Jiu'an turned off the shower and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Want me to wash it for you?"

"I don't mind."

As soon as Lin Jiu'an finished speaking, the bathroom door was opened.

Atalanta blushed as she entered the bathroom.

As the steam in the bathroom gradually dissipated, Atalanta could finally see Lin Jiu'an's figure clearly. When her gaze fell downwards, she couldn't help but look away, but she still pursed her cherry lips, walked into the bathroom, and closed the door.

The emerald green armor on her body turned into spiritual light particles and dissipated. She walked straight to Lin Jiu'an, who was sitting on a chair next to the bathtub, and knelt down in front of him.

She stretched out her little hand and said in a trembling voice, "I'll help you wash."

"Then trouble you."

Lin Jiu'an looked at Atalanta, whose earlobes and neck were already stained red, with great interest, and did not refuse.

He let her wash his body with her small hands.

After a quick rinse.

Atalanta seemed to gradually relax. Although she was still a little nervous, she was not as tense as she had been at the beginning. Then she used soap to lather up Lin Jiu'an and continued to scrub him carefully. When she got to his lower abdomen, Atalanta suddenly stopped.

"Will eating me make you stronger?"

Lin Jiu'an lowered his head.

He saw Atalanta looking up at him, her beautiful eyes trembling slightly with shame and nervousness.

"It can be possible."

Lin Jiu paused for a moment and said, "If it doesn't work, you don't have to force yourself. After all, I'm strong enough now."

Atalanta gave Lin Jiu'an a deep look, then looked down at the furious Lin Jiu'an.

"Don't force it."

As she spoke, Atalanta lowered her beautiful eyes and slowly bent over.

······

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have successfully put "Atalanta" into the "Primary Corruption" state and have received the reward "Breaking Through Arcadia".]

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have successfully put "Atalanta" into the "Intermediate Corruption" state and have received the reward "The Aesthetics of Pursuit".]

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have successfully put "Atalanta" into the "Advanced Corruption" state and have received the reward "Divine Punishment Boar".]

More than an hour later.

Atalanta's room.

Lin Jiu'an leaned lazily against Atalanta, who had fallen asleep from exhaustion, and played with her two unconscious, soft, and innocent little hands.

His gaze fell on the system's reward panel.

The rewards for the first and second items are considered auxiliary skills.

The first upgrade is to improve his agility attribute, which will give him greater evasion and movement capabilities.

The second ability allows him to track enemies more accurately, like a hunter tracking prey in the forest.

As for the third reward...

Essentially, it involves donning the skin of Caludon to enter a berserk state and enhance one's attributes.

However, it unexpectedly merged with his "Heart of Nidhogg" and became a part of it. Not only did it make the "Heart of Nidhogg" grow a bit more, but it also added a berserk state to him, which greatly increased his physical strength after use.

"Hmm?"

Atalanta slowly opened her eyes.
