It felt so good to be close to the witch!

"She pioneered a new system that allows witches to remain conscious and have the opportunity to advance to the realm of Great Witch even when they are corrupted and eroded—the Puppet System."

"The essence of the Demon Puppet system is that witches use the corrupted flesh and part of the soul as a 'puppet' in the mortal world, that is, a 'demon puppet'. Through a special secret method, they separate the pure soul from it. This pure soul is also called the 'true spirit'."

"The secret technique maintains the connection between the true spirit and the demonic puppet. Even if the witches continue their cultivation, the true spirit can transfer most of the corruption to the demonic puppet through the secret technique."

"The emergence of the Demon Puppet System delayed the mutation of witches with 100% corruption by at least twenty years."

"Witches who have mastered the secret art of the Demon Puppet have a slight chance of advancing to the realm of Great Witch."

"Thanks to this, the Witch Association developed exceptionally rapidly, and Freya became the new president of the Witch Association."

"Of course, the Demon Puppet system also has its drawbacks. The Great Witches who advance through this method are weaker than those who advance through the normal path, and it is extremely difficult for them to continue their cultivation. They basically have no hope of reaching the second stage of the Great Witch."

"The Great Witch is divided into five stages, corresponding to the legendary ranks of one-star, two-star, three-star, peak, and limit respectively. Under normal circumstances, a Great Witch in the first stage is enough to rival or even defeat a legendary three-star knight. If the Great Witch can reach the third stage, then even a legendary limit knight is not invincible."

"Just as the witches of the Witches' Guild were immersed in the rapid development of their strength and influence, a sudden change occurred."

"Actually, the magic puppet system was not created by Sister Freya. She obtained it from a pre-era ruin. However, at the same time as obtaining this system, she also suffered an extremely terrible curse—the Curse of Time."

"This terrible curse caused time to pass by nearly ten times faster on Freya. One year for her was equivalent to ten years of life for an ordinary person. In ten years on Witch Island, she lived a hundred years of life for an ordinary person."

"Such a terrifying rate of lifespan loss caused Freya's life force to weaken rapidly. In order to survive, she had no choice but to venture alone into the forbidden zone in the north of the Gray Mist Islands to find the legendary Tree of Life, which was said to exist in the forbidden zone, in order to fight against the curse of the Time's Wounds with the nourishment of the Tree of Life."

"The forbidden zone in the north of the Gray Mist Islands is shrouded in black mist all year round. It is a special substance that is even more terrifying than gray mist. Once you fall into it, there is almost no chance of getting out. It also has extremely terrifying corrosiveness. Even the fighting spirit of a legendary knight and the magic power of a great witch will be corroded away in a very short time."

“Every ten years or so, the black mist experiences a one-month ‘decline period,’ which reduces the concentration of the black mist to a level that allows the Great Witch or a Legend to walk in it for an extended period of time.”

"Sister Freya ventured alone into the Black Mist Forbidden Zone during the decline of the Black Mist more than a decade ago."

"No one knows what exists in the Black Mist Forbidden Zone—terrifying monsters left over from a previous era, or some strange and dangerous prehistoric creation?"

"She left behind a 'Soul Candle' in the Witches' Guild. When a person dies, the candle goes out. Although the candle is dim now, it is still burning, which means that Sister Freya is still alive, but her condition is very poor."

"And recently, the Black Mist's decline returned. Your father, Jess Tulumbel, must have ventured alone into the Black Mist's forbidden zone in search of your mother..."

"As for your father's identity," Latie looked at Roy, who was listening intently, "he was Duke Soros's secret squire, a hidden agent who did not show his face to the public. His talent was only slightly inferior to Duke Soros's. He advanced to the legendary realm a year later than Duke Soros. Now, he should have the strength of a legendary three-star or higher, right?"

“…So that’s how it is.” Roy let out a long sigh.

As expected, the original owner's parents were no ordinary people.

However, with such strong talent and strength from their parents, the original owner's talent was rather poor, wasn't it?

After silently uttering a complaint, Roy asked in a low voice, "The Black Mist Decline Period?"

“It’s over.” Latie shook her head. “Even if you wanted to go now, you couldn’t get in. You’d have to wait another ten years or so.”

“Is that so…” Roy shut his mouth.

In reality, the black mist, which is deadly to normal great witches and legendary knights, is not necessarily so terrifying to him.

According to Latie's description, both the gray fog and the black fog are essentially a special kind of energy, and as long as it is energy, [Infinite Desire God] can absorb it.

Of course, the black mist can even quickly corrode the magic power of the Great Witch. Whether [Infinite Desire God] can absorb it successfully with his current status still needs to be determined through on-site testing.

Regardless, having learned the exact whereabouts of the original owner's mother and father, Roy decided to personally travel to the Black Mist Forbidden Zone when he had the ability.

On one hand, it was to repay the "gratitude" of the original owner; on the other hand, Roy was very interested in the Tree of Life in the Black Mist Forbidden Zone.

This thing sounds somewhat related to that pitch-black, towering tree in Shanika's talent evolution space, doesn't it?

It is also related to the power of life...

Roy believed that the collapse of the dark, towering tree was most likely related to the Blood Moon War five hundred years ago. If he could get some clues from it, he might be able to find out the real reason why this world had become "broken"!

"Don't worry, I won't rush into the Black Mist Forbidden Zone at this time."

Roy sighed, "I may not have many other skills, but I do have some self-awareness. If even 'Father' can't find 'Mother' in the Black Mist Forbidden Zone, with my current strength, there's not much point in me going in."

"Instead of going to my death, I should strive to improve my strength. If one day I can reach the legendary limit, then the dangers in the Black Mist Forbidden Zone will not be a threat."

"It's good that you understand." Latie breathed a sigh of relief. She was most afraid that Roy was the kind of person who was impatient. Now that she saw Roy's performance, she was relieved.

“My parents’ matter requires further consideration. Right now, the more important thing is to help you cleanse yourself of the impurities.” Roy stood up and looked at Latie, whose graceful figure was accentuated by her palace attire.

"I possess a special ability that allows me to absorb the pollution accumulated on a witch's body. However, during the absorption process, the person being absorbed will experience extremely intense stimulation because the pollution has become inextricably intertwined with your body and soul."

"In your situation, which is on the verge of getting out of control, the level of stimulation will be at its maximum."

Are you ready?

Chapter 178 Fourth Talent [Chapter of Pride] Satan's Redemption

What does "extremely intense stimulation" refer to?

As a wise and experienced witch, Latie was very cautious. Even though she was emotionally agitated at the moment, she instinctively wanted to find out the truth.

"Well..." Roy carefully considered his words, "The pollution is inextricably intertwined with your body and soul. The process of extracting the pollution is like a process of mutual friction. You can try it yourself and feel the sensation of your palms gently rubbing against each other. The stimulation from extracting the pollution is dozens or even hundreds of times stronger than that feeling."

Since he hadn't tried it himself, Roy wasn't entirely sure; he was just making a simple deduction based on the witches' past reactions.

Such a tactful description made Latie understand immediately.

Unconsciously, her eyes flickered and became somewhat evasive, and her hands under her sleeves clenched slightly.

"This……"

Taking a deep breath, Latti quickly calmed down, having seen her share of "big storms": "Come on, it's okay, I can handle a little excitement."

Roy is Freya's child. Although she is only about ten years older than Roy and can be considered the "big sister", in terms of seniority, she is the "little aunt"!

Although they are not related by blood.

Being asked about "such things" in front of her "junior" made Latie feel strange and uncomfortable, but in order to get rid of the curse of pollution, she couldn't care less.

In her mind, she had endured the torment of pollution for decades, so how could a little stimulation shake her will?

Seeing Latti's reaction, Roy felt a little relieved.

She's a great witch after all!

Before Latie, the only great witch Roy had ever seen was the Moon Witch Cecilia.

As for Sehir's soul and will, even after a hundred years of wear and tear, the two personalities—one normal and one insane—that were split off due to the third stage of the Blood Refinement Technique still exist intact.

When Cecil was corrupted by him, he only behaved "slightly" out of control, far less "violently" than Ais and Lilia.

As fellow great witches, Latie should be about the same, right?

As Roy thought this, he felt increasingly relieved.

He admitted that he was indeed somewhat lustful, and that Latti's palace attire really appealed to him.

It is natural to be hungry and lustful, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. The love between men and women is a fundamental principle of nature.

However, the person who absorbed the contamination this time was, strictly speaking, his "aunt," and in order to avoid "awkwardness" in their future interactions, he felt it was better to be cautious.

"Now that you're ready, let's begin."

"Please lie down on the bed. In a little while, I will need to hold one of your hands for physical contact."

Upon hearing this, Lati stood up gracefully, her form-fitting palace dress perfectly outlining her mature and beautiful figure.

She walked to the bedside, lay down quietly, and beneath her calm, pale face lay a hidden anxiety.

I was apprehensive that Roy's "pollution removal" was just a beautiful illusion, and apprehensive about the intensity of the "stimuli" that followed...

Looking at Latie, who was lying on the bed with her hands clasped together at her lower abdomen, her eyes closed and her eyelashes trembling, Roy breathed a sigh of relief and slowly walked over.

Now that he was closer, from this top-down angle, Roy could see Latie's alluring curves even more clearly.

The cloud-patterned palace dress that Latti mentioned is just a general term for a type of ancient costume. In terms of actual style, it is more like a cheongsam, which gives people a graceful and beautiful feeling while also highlighting the woman's figure.

As for Latie... Roy's first impression of her was:

Cover the slime with a cloth!

Graceful and charming, swaying with captivating beauty!

In terms of size, Latie is by no means inferior to Shanika, the "largest" of all the witches, and compared to Shanika, Latie's mature charm is unmatched by the younger witches.

Of course, the thrill of conquering Shanica's platinum ram horns while riding in your hands is irresistible!

Shaking his head to suppress the sudden, alluring thoughts that welled up in his heart, Roy spoke softly:

"Ms. Latie, your hand?"

"Oh, oh, sorry." Latie hurriedly opened her hands, which were clasped together at her lower abdomen, and extended her left hand to Roy.

Her soft, jade-like hand reflected a faint arc of light in the candlelight, and Roy reached out to shake it.

Light and warm without being cloying, like a soft white cloud.

The moment their hands touched, they both felt each other's bodies tremble.

"call……"

Roy took a deep breath, no longer hesitating, and activated his talent [Infinite Desire - God]!

To avoid stimulating Latie too much, Roy deliberately kept the rate of energy absorption to a minimum—0.1% per second.

At this rate, it would take 1000 seconds, or approximately 17 minutes, to completely absorb all the pollutants from Lati's body.

The process of absorbing the contaminant went smoothly. Because the rate was very low, Latie's reaction was very mild; her cheeks flushed slightly and her legs unconsciously pressed tightly together.

This greatly relieved Roy.

As expected, the Great Witch is the Great Witch! Her willpower is beyond words!

80%...60%...40%...20%...

The removal of contaminants proceeded smoothly, but just when Roy thought he could successfully remove all the contaminants, an accident occurred.

When only 5% of the pollution remained, Roy discovered that with an absorption rate of 0.1%, it was no longer possible to remove this final 5% of pollution.

These contaminants gathered at the center of Lati's brow, like a cluster of quietly burning black flames.

Is it because of the true spirit?
