You are all my wings!

Leon is lying through his teeth:

"I'm asking you this: did you just expend a lot of mental energy to activate spiritual mysteries in order to resist that distorted power?"

Serkashuki hesitated for a moment, then said coldly, "Alright, this topic is no longer important! Even if your [Spirit Miracle] can truly manipulate spirituality and even guide the distortion of memories and cognition, it is clearly not enough to completely interfere with me. You think you can control me with this method? Absolutely not!"

Leon smiled, and from her tone he knew she couldn't take it seriously anymore; she probably believed him.

He immediately extracted the essence of the virtual and real worlds, and this time he extracted 10 portions of the essence of the virtual and real worlds, which was 5 portions more than his previous investment, so he made a small profit.

"Even if you can withstand it now, once my rank increases, you will eventually have to obediently call me master. At that time, you won't be allowed to be arrogant anymore."

Lyon said.

Serkashuki was silent for a moment, then snorted:

"I'll be watching! In my life, I, Serkashuki, only admire those stronger than me. If you truly have the strength to subdue me, I may submit to you. But if you can't, then be prepared to wash your neck clean and wait for my true form to arrive so I can infuse you with the blood of my familiars. Become my plaything obediently!"

She stopped talking after saying that.

Lyon also resumed his training.

Although he had already quickly mastered the powerful Primal God-level magic of the Ninth Order Cold Moon Flowing Light by leveraging the combined effects of the eleven major modes.

However, his current focus remains on mastering the wind, earth, and fire magic to the eighth-level perfect level.

As for the ice element, there were still three secrets I hadn't fully grasped, but Aurahandai was very helpful, pointing out many details.

With her profound understanding, all the mysteries of the Ice and Time systems were explained to Lyon, making things much easier for him.

Thanks to this, he made progress on the three mysteries of 【Eclipse】, 【Solid Micro】, and 【Cold Year】 simultaneously.

I estimate that we will be able to master it in another seven or eight days.

Four days have passed in the blink of an eye.

During these four days, Aurahande's basic routine consisted of various sweet moments with Lyon during the day.

Each time she finished, she would end the session with a look of regret, gazing at Leon with deep affection, and softly say:

"Wait a little longer, darling, just ten more days, and I'll be able to control my body completely. I won't let my little sweetheart get cold, and I'll make sure my little sweetheart is well-fed."

Then she began to teach Leon various ice magic knowledge and secrets.

Moreover, it was always the state dominated by the Kekketi personality, and it had not been controlled by Aurahanda even once in the past four days.

Thanks to this, their favorability ratings have also increased.

[Zephyr's affection +25%, current affection level 60%]

[Aura Handee's affection level +5%, current affection level 8%]

Especially the 'Kekti', which is growing very fast.

It's estimated that the favorability was already at its maximum, and now it's just that the favorability from the timeline of the 0-year period has been grafted onto it.

While Aurahande's 5% favorability is small, its boost to Leon's Ice and Time systems is quite significant. These past few days, as he's been trying to understand the mysteries of the Ice and Time systems, his efficiency has undoubtedly increased by a fraction of a percent, which is quite astonishing.

Of course, there were also some concerns during this period.

That is, the other party will occasionally show a side similar to Aurahandai, especially after waking up from a night of cultivation, when that coldness is strongest.

Leon discovered that whenever she had intimate contact with him, her coldness would slowly fade and she would transform into a gentle mode.

'It seems the more her strength recovers, the less control Cecily can maintain, and she can only try to raise her self-awareness through intimate interactions with me.'

He had actually tried to use life deception or non-real deception to completely suppress Aurahande's side, but unfortunately, her divine protective power was so strong that it directly blocked life deception and non-real deception.

After all, the difference is essentially between the sixth and fourteenth orders, which is still too big a leap.

He couldn't think of a way to break the deadlock for the time being, so he could only continue to make up stories about himself and Keketi according to the scenes he saw in the divination, and keep strongly awakening Keketi in the name of recalling the past.

Fortunately, Aurahande's current tendency is to enjoy these stories more and more, and she rewards Leon handsomely after each one, which helps maintain the Kekketie personality and prevents it from being completely suppressed by Aurahande's personality during her training the next day.

In addition, during his time alone with Serkashuki these past few nights, Leon has been using deception to manipulate her memories and perceptions.

Although she was always overpowered by Serkass, as time went on, Leon used more and more different types of rhetoric, and some of her very simple memories and beliefs were subtly changed by Leon.

The core approach is to break the whole into smaller parts and to use a feint to covertly advance another route.

First, there's a large-scale fraud, directly deceiving her into believing she's my slave, leaving her exhausted from resisting.

Then a series of very subtle scams are hidden within.

These phrases are:

"You're trying to manipulate me because you're lonely. You've misunderstood your own needs. You've realized that the best way to treat a friend is to help and accompany them, not to mock them."

'You are not actually an evil god, but a legitimate deity disguised as one.'

'You crave recognition because you are the only remaining vampire in the world; you have long since lost your companions.'

The key to these frauds lies in Leon's assessment of her true personality, based on his interactions with her.

The deceptive rhetoric only amplifies certain points, so that it can subtly change her without her noticing, thus avoiding strong resistance.

This method doesn't require much skill in navigating between reality and illusion; it only requires time and meticulous execution.

We are beginning to see subtle changes in Serkashuki.

Before we knew it, it was the evening of the seventh day.

After several days of intensive instruction, Leon successfully grasped the two great mysteries of [Eclipse] and [Cold Year].

Their effects are respectively 'eroding past time' and 'tainting the years with icy power', which are quite profound.

Lyon tried to combine it with the other three ice-time dual-elemental mysteries he had mastered, and he was already able to perform the amazing operation of slightly reversing the time of a certain item's temperature.

For example, if a stove accidentally burned down a house half a day ago, he could reverse the temperature of the stove half a day ago, thereby changing the outcome of the house not burning down.

This can already be described as an incredible feat of defying time and space. Although he can only achieve the reversal he made half a day ago by exerting all his strength, and can only reverse ordinary items within a limited range, it is still quite remarkable.

As for the last secret, [Solid Mind], this is a relatively weak area for Olaf, so her guidance to Lyon was slightly less effective than the other secrets.

However, this difference is only relative. Considering her rank, Aurahande's guidance is still terrifying.

Of course, this is also because Leon can use too many modes and has an epic-level affinity for ice elements, so his learning efficiency for ice-related skills is exceptionally amazing.

This is why some of his modes can only be used for one hour.

If it could be turned on 24/7, he couldn't even imagine how powerful he would be.

At this point, after a day of close interaction.

"Darling, it's a shame, but our fun time has to end today. I need to go and cultivate to speed up my recovery, otherwise those jealous people will come looking for trouble later, and that won't do."

After saying goodbye to Leon with a sense of lingering reluctance, Aurahande turned and went to her room.

Leon gazed at her graceful, slender, crystal-white figure and noticed that her Zekkidi personality this time didn't seem to be as active as before. Her expression flickered slightly, as if she was showing signs of being taken back by the Aurahandai personality. Leon's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that with the recovery of her strength, Zek'te is almost unable to suppress Aurahande?

Thinking of this, he took the initiative to speak up:

"Kekti, you've been teaching me magic these past few days, but we haven't done what we promised to do to help you recover your memories faster. Why don't we take this rare opportunity to explore the other floors?"

"Oh?"

Aurahande turned around, her crystal-white eyes flashing slightly: "Where are you going to shop?"

Lyon took a few steps closer and kissed him.

Although Aurahande's expression had recovered somewhat, she did not refuse Leon's advances.

After a moment of hesitation, she looked puzzled: "So, where are you planning to go? If you're just going to wander around, it's more important to cultivate and recover first, darling."

Lyon then said, "I don't know if you remember, but I have a magic surge disorder. Every certain period of time, my magic will surge, causing me unbearable pain?"

Aurahandai blinked, surprised, and said, "That does indeed leave a strong impression. I seem to have a deep impression of this. Why is that?"

Leon was speechless; it seemed that Keketi's personality remembered this matter very well.

"It's probably because you care about me. If you didn't care about me, how could you still have such feelings for me after losing your memory? How could you remember me so vividly?"

He gently stroked Olahande's cheek.

After these days of building up his resistance, he has been able to adapt to this temperature.

It must be said that the skin feel of Aura Handai is also quite wonderful; it's cool and smooth with a slightly stimulating chill, making it very pleasant to touch.

"I see."

Aurahandai seemed to be deep in thought.

[Zephyr's affection +5%, current affection level 65%]

[Aura Handee's affection level +2%, current affection level 10%]

"Wait, you're bringing this up because your illness is about to flare up? But we just kissed, so I should be able to help you process it, right?"

Aurahandai's eyes flickered slightly, sensing something was off, something different from what she remembered.

"Yes, perhaps it's because I've been in an area rich in ice-type arcane power recently, which has stimulated my body, so the effect is quite severe."

Lyon said:

"So I think we should speed up the process a bit, so you won't have to hold it in for so long, and I can channel more magic power."

Aurahande was taken aback: "But I can't control it freely yet. What if it freezes your thing?"

"It's alright. My physique has improved a lot since a few days ago, and you've been bringing me some eighth or ninth-tier monster meat every now and then these past few days, haven't you? Thanks to that, I'm as strong as an ox now!"

Lyon clenched his fist, slightly flexing his muscles.

Although his physical condition has improved well these past few days, he hasn't yet surpassed the limit of a ninth-tier demonic dragon. If he were to engage in that kind of activity, he would most likely still struggle.

But now she is showing signs that she didn't have in the past few days. If we don't act quickly today, the consequences will be unpredictable.

As for the reward, we can only gamble on achieving at least 90% of Keketi's personality before that.

"Really?"

Aurahandai's eyes sparkled, and she was suddenly moved, yet hesitated.

"I can't control it properly yet. Do you really want it? This is my first time, and I'm not sure how much force I need."

Lyon said earnestly, "Really, we can stroll around and reminisce, then find a suitable place to spend the night together, how about that? It would be best to find a place that isn't too cold, so I can have a better chance, right?"

Aurahandai was conflicted, but as Leon said that, the impulse in her heart suddenly became stronger.

[Zephyr's affection +10%, current affection level 75%]

[Aura Handee's affection level +2%, current affection level 12%]

"OK then."

She agreed, glancing shyly at Leon: "Before, when I wanted to have sex with you, you always happened to be busy. I always thought you hated me and were making excuses to leave."

"Oh, you've remembered something?"

Lyon's heart skipped a beat.

Aurahandai paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, I think I really do remember some things."

She thought to herself, it seems he really wasn't lying to her, at least his feelings and impulses were real.

[Zephyr's affection +5%, current affection level 80%]

[Aura Handee's affection level +2%, current affection level 14%]

"Then let's not delay, shall we go?"

"Okay, let's go to the 109th floor then. There's a natural time-heat pole there. You should feel much more comfortable there and won't be so cold from my sweetheart."

"Time is extremely hot?"

“That’s right. My Time Frost Prison is not entirely a mystery of ice-time characteristics. After all, it is a forbidden zone of creation and was created naturally, so there must be a balance point.”

As they were talking, Aurahandai had already teleported with Leon to a strange location filled with surging heat.

It's called a strange location because once you arrive at this place, your senses are stretched out.

It's not a stretching of distance, but a stretching of time; it's as if everything we perceive is undergoing drastic changes that are hard to comprehend.

Lyon stared straight ahead, but his eyes were quickly hurt by the strange heat contained in the light, causing unbearable pain, forcing him to close them immediately.

At that moment, Aurahande gently brushed her hand, and Leon's eyes became clear and cool.

Before she could even open her eyes, her lips were sealed shut.
