What witch? The Deadly Pharmacist!

So Leon tried to create clones in the maze. The mazes in Hamel Town and Arend Island were either sealed or partially sealed, so he could only choose the maze that Lamia had lent them.

As it turned out, with the potions provided by Lamia to amplify his magic, creating clones in other dungeons was not difficult for Leon.

Furthermore, he can also use the power of the Labyrinth Lord, and he can sense the existence of the monsters in the labyrinth. In that case, he should be able to control an army of monsters to fight with his clones, which makes the tactical premise for targeting Arend Island valid.

Based on his perception, the clone's magical power level was roughly the same as before he fused with the blood of Moirai. It probably couldn't unleash saint-level blessing power like Queen Alice could by simply consuming the heart that served as the core of the clone.

At present, he can only create a third-order blessed clone in other mazes.

He also tried to invoke the blessing of the supreme god, but found that he could not sense that power.

The clones created through the labyrinth seem unable to inherit any blessings other than Moirai's blessing, which would likely significantly reduce their combat effectiveness.

But being able to control the monsters meant that he had achieved his strategic goals.

Should we wander around this maze some more and see how long it can last?

As Leon was thinking, he suddenly sensed someone approaching the altar through the Labyrinth Lord's abilities.

Soon, the sound of footsteps drew closer.

Lena and Weiss both left the base. Leon immediately realized that it must have been Sally, who was left behind, who heard the commotion. Then he realized... that his newborn body was naked!

A moment later, Selena Hershey walked through the passage to the altar area and looked around in confusion.

Then she saw a half-human, half-wolf shadowy figure hiding behind the Moirai statue, peering at her with an eerie green light in its eyes.

Sally was about to scream when Leon spoke up: "Don't be afraid, Mrs. Hershey, it's me, Leon."

Sally stood there, stunned. She had heard Leon's voice when he turned into a werewolf.

“Mr. Leon, when did you arrive? I had no idea you were back. Why were you hiding there? You haven’t even…” Sally hesitated for a moment before finishing the sentence “getting dressed.”

Leon quickly transformed into a werewolf, a creature resembling a wild beast, and hid behind the statue to avoid appearing too undignified in front of Selene.

"It's a long story. Could you help me get some of the clothes I left here?" Leon asked Selene.

“I understand.” Sally still didn’t quite understand the situation, but at least she knew that Leon’s needs should be addressed first.

Soon, Leon received the set of clothes he had left there.

But when he was putting on the clothes, he found that they were much too big for his normal state. The clone he created in the maze seemed to be smaller than his normal size, as if he had regressed to his teenage years. In the end, he had to turn back into his werewolf form and grow his size so that the clothes would fit him just right.

“I’m sorry, Mrs. Hershey. I was testing a new blessing ability, creating a clone from somewhere else into this labyrinth. I didn’t mean to scare you,” Leon offered Selene as an explanation.

"Oh, I see. So, everything went well for you out there, right?" Selena quickly accepted Leon's explanation and asked with concern.

She didn't understand the power of blessing very well, and didn't understand what it meant to be able to create clones in the maze. She only knew that Leon was alright and could come back to check on them with the new power of blessing, which meant that they were doing relatively well outside.

“Yes, as we can see now, our operation has been a great success.” Leon nodded.

"Is Melissa alright?" Sally asked.

“She’s fine. I’m so sorry, Mrs. Hershey, for making you so worried.” Leon apologized to Selene. He could imagine how anxious Selene must have been, being left alone here, especially since he had taken Melissa on an action that could have been suspected of apostasy.

“That child already has her own opinions, and I can’t persuade her otherwise,” Sally replied with a wry smile. “All I can do is pray that you will come back safely.”

“We will.” Leon looked earnestly into Selene’s eyes. “Afterwards, Lena will go back for a while, and she will take Melissa back with her. Lena will take most of the monsters with her, and the remaining low-level monsters will be watched over. You don’t need to stay here anymore. Go to a safe place with Melissa and hide for a while.”

Adele has already re-established contact overseas, securing their escape route and safe house abroad. This allows Sally and Melissa to move out and lay low for a while. Once the situation at Santa Rosalia Prison is resolved, Melissa won't need to take any more risks.

"Is this place not safe?" Sally asked with some concern.

“Not exactly. I’m not sure what will happen in the next few days. This is just to be on the safe side. I also hope that you and Melissa are safe and sound. So, could you please wait for me for a while?” Leon said calmly.

“Of course.” Sally returned a trusting smile. “Melissa and I will wait for you to take us home, but please don’t keep us waiting too long.”

For Sally and Melissa, Leon is now an indispensable member of their family.

Chapter 725 Bathing with the Great Witch

An hour later, at the altar beside the Fountain of Youth deep within the ancient Elland maze, Leon, who had been immersed in the spring water, withdrew his consciousness from the distant clone and opened his eyes.

Beside the Fountain of Youth stands the Moirai Altar.

Unlike other labyrinth temples, this altar does not have a magical well at its center, but rather a man-made circular bath. A ditch with a filter connects the bath to the Fountain of Youth, making it easy to draw water from there.

This altar was said to have been frequently used by high-ranking priests and nobles of the Eland Earth Mother Cult in the past. By concentrating the life magic of the spring water into the human body through the altar, they could enhance their physique and prolong their lifespan.

If she is a witch, she can greatly accelerate the absorption of magic power, making breakthroughs come faster.

Leon can also amplify his magic power to some extent by soaking in this altar, enhancing his ability to cast witch's blessings, especially in creating labyrinth clones remotely.

After transferring his main consciousness back, what came into his view was Dorothy, who was also soaking in the bath, and Lamia, who was sitting on the edge of the pool with her bare feet in the water.

"Judging from your expression, the experiment must have been a great success," Dorothy said to him with a smile.

Dorothy stripped off her clothes, transforming herself into her demon form. Her slightly wavy long hair was tied into a small bun, and fluffy black fur covered her body like a close-fitting fabric. Black wings gently enveloped her body, making her graceful curves appear and disappear, which seemed to evoke more fantasies than directly revealing her body.

Lamia simply pulled her long skirt up to her thighs and tied it up, boldly revealing her exaggeratedly long, snow-white legs. The spring water soaked up to her ankles, rippling in layers.

Leon had to admit the scene was absolutely stunning, but his first words were still, "Did you two really need to come in?"

In fact, even though a clone was created in the Redwood County maze hundreds of miles away, this body was not without consciousness.

He can switch his consciousness back to this body at any time, and can even control two bodies to act at the same time.

Moreover, although the clone cannot use the Supreme God's blessing, his main body still can, and his main body can still use the Supreme God's foresight blessing to detect dangers in the surroundings.

When he entered the spring to test his abilities, he asked Dolucy and Lamia to leave for a while, but not long after, he noticed that the two of them were arguing for a while not far away.

Then he turned back and glanced at her, only to find that Dorothy had transformed into her demon form and was calmly taking off her clothes by the spring, immersing herself in the water to bathe with him.

Lamia glared at Dorothy for a moment, then finally sat down by the spring, tied her skirt up, and soaked her feet in.

He was still talking to Selena at the time, so he missed the opportunity to ask. After the two of them came in, they didn't do anything else, so Leon simply didn't come back to his senses until the experiment was over before asking.

"I just want to try the legendary Fountain of Youth. I've heard that its water can not only enhance magic but also beautify the skin. Aren't you satisfied with me bathing with you?" Dorothy said with a smile.

Before Leon could reply, Lamia said with a stern face, "Don't misunderstand, I was just trying to keep her from causing trouble."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lamia raised one of her jade-like feet, and Leon then noticed that a low-level two-headed snake was wrapped around her foot, one end wrapped around her ankle and the other end seemingly wrapped around Dolucy's side.

Dorothy raised her wrist, and the other end of the snake coiled around it, like a shackle binding Lamia and her together.

“If I hadn’t been watching, this woman might have done something to your body,” Lamia said.

“You’re not trusting me enough. I’ll have plenty of opportunities later. Why rush things?” Dorothy said with a frank smile, which made Lamia frown slightly in displeasure.

"Alright, hurry up and get out." Leon was the first to get up, climb out of the spring, and reach out to touch his clothes on the ground. He had taken off his upper clothes and soaked them in the water.

He then noticed the gazes directed at him, and turning his head, he found that Lamia and Dorothy were both staring intently at his body.

"Why are you staring at me?" Leon asked.

"No." Lamia immediately looked away.

But Dorothy continued to gaze at Leon with unwavering composure, her smile unchanged, as if she were admiring a work of art.

“Moirai’s blessing can grant witches beauty because her life blessing can bring the body to a near-perfect state, making it more attractive. It seems this blessing works on men too, what perfect bodies they have,” Dorothy laughed.

Leon looked down at his body. His muscles were indeed well-proportioned and defined, like a perfect sculpture, exuding a beauty that could be felt at a glance.

He hadn't specifically trained to sculpt his body, but as his blessings increased, his physique did indeed improve.

Moirai's blessing can enhance a woman's charm, and it seems to have an effect on him as well.

"Dolucy, control your gaze. You're making me feel like a piece of meat on a plate."

Leon vaguely sensed Dorothy's gaze, which was increasingly revealing a blatant desire, and couldn't help but feel a chill.

"How rude of me! Just thinking about enjoying such a wonderful body later is making me so excited." Dorothy cupped her face and smiled with a look of pure bliss.

"Try to clean up the smell..." Leon couldn't stand it anymore and quickly put on his clothes.

"At least I'm watching openly, which is much better than His Highness the Prince peeping," Dorothy suddenly shifted her focus.

Lamia abruptly pulled her foot out of the water, but didn't retort, because she couldn't help but glance at it a few more times.

She didn't have many opportunities to observe men's bodies before; she could only see descriptions in books.

"Besides, you promised me. Now that you've tried to create clones and done everything you were supposed to do, can you give me some time now?"

"The information I gave you has served its purpose; you should now fulfill your promise," Dorothy said.

“I understand, let’s go out,” Leon nodded in reply.

"I think this place is perfect; it's a good opportunity to study your special influence on the power of blessing."

"Your Highness, the tour is over. Why don't you go and rest for a bit? Suppressing the curse must be very difficult if you don't get enough sleep. We still need to continue refining magic essence later." Dorothy looked at Lamia meaningfully.

Lamia hesitated, then held back and said nothing. She gave Leon a somewhat resentful look, then turned and left.

Chapter 726 The Witch's Pleasure Granted to the Black Goat

Are you sure you want to do this?

After Lamia left, Leon turned to Dorothy and asked her a question.

"Are you still hesitating now?" Dorothy climbed out of the pool, spread her wings, and exposed her body to Leon.

“I have nothing to hesitate about. To say that this is solely to fulfill a promise and has no personal will of mine would be a bit hypocritical.” Leon did not avoid his gaze, looking directly at Dorothy’s body. “Just as you said before, I actually have no reason to refuse.”

There are probably not many men in this world who can resist Dorothy's charm. It's impossible for a man to say that he is not tempted by Dorothy's qualities.

Moreover, this so-called condition was settled as a reward for the information provided by Dorothy, making it a sure-fire deal.

“I like people who are true to their desires, because I am one myself.” Dorothy walked toward Leon, her wet body still dripping with water, her feet leaving wet footprints on the ground.

She stood in front of Leon, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "Should I stay like this, or would it be better to go back to my original form?"

“That’s fine.” Leon reached out and stroked Dorothy’s goat-like ear.

"So you really like me this way? You're such a weirdo." For the first time, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Dorothy's face.

If Leon shows interest in her appearance and figure when she's in her normal state, she can respond calmly. After all, she knows her own charm very well, and she knows better than anyone how much interest a man can have in her.

But Leon is probably the only one who still has such interest in her demon form. Even in Moilland, the Black Goat Witch in her demon form is an ominous sign, and in the Empire, it is a symbol of misfortune and terror.

Dorothy cupped Leon's face in her hands, gazing into his eyes with rapture, and said with a smile, "Your ideas, knowledge, and even your aesthetic sense are extraordinary. Sometimes I really feel like your soul doesn't belong to this world."

Upon hearing this, Leon immediately became sensitive and instinctively backed away.

"What's wrong? Did I hit the nail on the head?" Dorothy teased Leon for his reaction. "You're so special, someone's bound to notice something."

"So you approached me to spy on my secrets?" Leon asked, looking at Dorothy.

"Please rest assured, this is just my personal curiosity. I won't pry beyond your limits, but you can't stop me from speculating, can you?"

Dorothy covered her mouth and chuckled, then straightened her expression slightly. "We can't possibly trust each other, so I won't expect you to be honest with me. There are limits to what we can share, and neither of us should cross those lines."

If I went to spy on Miss Weiss and Colonel Jonathan while they were making red mercury, you would kill me, wouldn't you?

Leon nodded silently; he had indeed been on guard against Dorothy spying on Red Mercury.

He wouldn't hesitate to conduct such a threatening intelligence-gathering operation if Dolucie were to do so. As Lamia said, even if Dolucie didn't support Queen Alice's decisions, she wouldn't betray Moyland.

"Conversely, if you pose a threat to my country, our relationship will also end. We each have our own principles, so we keep our distance, which is good. This tacit understanding is the most suitable relationship for us."

Dorothy went up to him again and cupped Leon's face in her hands once more: "For me, you are the first and only man with whom I can have such an intimate relationship."

“Is this kind of relationship, like parallel lines that maintain a distance, considered intimate?” Leon countered.

“Aren’t parallel lines good? Intersecting lines will always drift apart, but parallel lines will never leave each other; they will watch over each other. Isn’t that romantic? One moment of pleasure is enough for us to be intimate, isn’t it?” Dorothy said, wrapping her arms around him.

“It sounds like you’ve never had anyone close to you. Isn’t it tiring to live like this?” Leon said.

“I think it’s good that I have no one to rely on and I won’t get hurt. Everyone has their own choices. Is the life you’ve chosen normal?” Dorothy whispered with a smile as she leaned close to Leon’s ear.

“That’s true,” Leon agreed with Dorothy.

“I knew you’d understand.” Dorothy laughed even harder, then hugged Leon tighter. “Come on, you have so much to do, don’t you? We don’t have much time left. Grant me pleasure!”

Leon said nothing more and hugged Dorothy even tighter.

……

Meanwhile, Lamia left the monastery's underground chamber in a sullen mood. As she emerged from the memorial hall, she saw Lena walking towards her from a short distance away.

"Why didn't you leave?" Lamia asked.
