It felt so good to be close to the witch!

The fact that he hasn't mentioned this matter all along doesn't mean he's unaware of it.

Upon hearing Finage mention this matter, to avoid suspicion, the Border Duke bowed slightly and then left the alternate dimension.

Latie hesitated for a moment, then also chose to go out on her own initiative.

Soon, only Roy and Finage remained.

Roy had no reason to refuse Finage's request.

As a third-stage being in the Great Witch realm, comparable to a demigod, the "original sin contamination aggregate" accumulated within Finage over hundreds of years should be enough to make up for his lack of energy reserves.

In this way, before the operation begins, he will have another chance to evolve his talent or awaken a new talent. Roy prefers the latter, as it would allow him to immediately gain an improvement in strength.

After all, the evolution of talent takes time, and right now he simply doesn't have the time to complete the evolution of his talent.

Of course, the problem isn't there, but rather that the process of removing the talent causes the witch to have a violent reaction...

Although Finaigi appears to be a young girl, she was the original owner's mother's teacher...

If something had happened, it would have been far too awkward...

After thinking it over, Roy told Finage everything that might happen during the cleansing process, emphasizing that even with her willpower, she couldn't resist when he helped Latie cleanse herself last time.

When Roy described the "extremely strong stimulus reaction" in a roundabout way, Finage simply shook her head indifferently.

"it does not matter."

"For me, any price is acceptable as long as the pollution can be removed."

"Or are you saying, Roy, that you dislike me?"

At the end, she gave a mischievous, girlish smile.

That smile made Roy's eyes glaze over.

Because at this moment, Finage's smile was almost identical to the smile he remembered when Cecil and Finage first met on the cliff.

Back then, the girl, dressed in leather and exuding a wildness, was like a female leopard under the moonlight—elegant yet possessing an elusive and fatal charm.

Even though time flies and many things have changed, the innocence in a girl's heart never disappears with time. It lies hidden in the deepest part of her heart, quietly blooming when no one is around, stunningly beautiful, and ever new.

"Then, let's begin..."

He said.

Chapter 199 Fifth Talent [Chapter of Greed] Eternal Paradise Lost

The removal of pollution cannot be carried out outdoors, given the significant amount of pollution accumulated in Finaige over the past century.

Fortunately, in this alternate dimension, Finaigi has her own little wooden cabin. Although it is primitive and rough, it still has basic facilities—a wooden bed.

As a great witch of nature, Finage spends most of her time in the natural environment, and she hasn't used this little wooden house for a long time.

Upon re-entering this place, she felt a strange sense of tension welling up inside her.

Although she spoke casually and even revealed a bit of her true nature by teasing Roy, Finage couldn't help but feel uneasy when the time came.

Having lived for over a hundred years, this was the first time she had ever been alone in a room with a man, and the relationship between them was quite complicated.

He is the son of his disciple Freya, the best friend of his junior sister Cecilia, and also his only hope to save him from corruption...

The complex web of relationships made it impossible for Finage to simply regard Roy as a junior.

"Senior Finage, please lie down on the bed."

The cabin may be small, but it is decorated very warmly. The naturally growing emerald green vines and delicate purple flowers on the walls create a natural beauty that cannot be matched by artificial decoration.

Looking at Finage, who was standing by the bed with a slightly unfocused look in her eyes, Roy took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

Roy's voice startled Finage. She shook her head slightly and lay down on the wooden bed, pretending to be magnanimous, with her hands hanging naturally at her sides. However, the way her right index finger gently slid across the bed frame betrayed her inner turmoil.

Roy walked to the bedside.

Up close, he could see even more clearly Finegi's perfectly sculpted features and her undulating figure.

In natural terms, it is like slender branches laden with abundant fruit, a sight that only Shanika can rival.

The passage of time seemed to lose its meaning for Finage.

Her appearance, her jade-like skin, were exactly as I remembered. The only difference was her long hair, which had turned snow-white at some point, and her eyes, which had become etched with the passage of time.

Shaking his head to dispel the ripples that were spreading uncontrollably in his heart, Roy silently admonished himself.

This was the original owner's teacher, Cecil's senior sister. A person cannot, at least shouldn't...

After a moment of self-reproach, Roy's moral compass soared, and he quickly became completely indifferent.

“Senior Finage, please extend your hand. To completely remove the pollution, I need direct physical contact with you.”

Upon hearing Roy's words, Finaigi's delicate body trembled almost imperceptibly. Soon, she generously extended her left hand and presented it to Roy.

Roy nodded and extended his left hand to clasp the slender, jade-like hand in front of him.

The moment their skin touched, both of them felt an instinctive jolt in each other's bodies.

"I'm about to begin, Senior Finage. Please get ready."

"bring it on."

Finaigi's voice was calm.

Whether it's truly peaceful or not, only she knows.

Having obtained Finaigi's permission, Roy no longer hesitated and immediately activated [Infinite Desire - God].

Having learned from the previous experience of removing the pollution from Latie, and knowing that Finage, who had also cultivated the "Magic Puppet System," possessed a "True Spirit," Roy knew that gentle absorption would not be able to shake the pollution hidden within the True Spirit.

Therefore, at the beginning of this removal process, he adopted a different approach—the gradual enhancement method.

Starting from 0.1%/second, increase to 0.5%/second, then 1%/second, gradually increasing the absorption rate by 0.5% every second, while giving Finaigi ample time to adapt.

For the first ten seconds, Finage felt slightly uncomfortable, but her breathing was only a little rapid.

Even when only 5% of the pollution remained hidden within the true spirit, Finaigi only showed a slight redness in her earlobes.

"It's working..." Seeing this, Roy was overjoyed.

Although getting close to a witch wouldn't be a bad thing for him, he didn't want to take advantage of her in this way if he could.

He, Roy, a handsome and charming young man, doesn't need to do this!

Moreover, Finaigi's identity is too special, although that outrageous figure... Damn it, I can't let that image appear in my mind!

Forcibly suppressing the alluring image that was about to surface in his mind, Roy held his breath and prepared to increase the power of [Infinite Desire - God] one last time to completely absorb the pollution hidden in the "True Spirit".

Currently, the power of [Infinite Desire - God] has reached 9.5%/second.

When absorbing the "true spirit" pollution of Latie, it only takes 2.5%/second to shake it, while Finaigi's situation is obviously more special.

Her strength is comparable to that of a demigod. The pollution has been accumulating for over a hundred years, and over such a long time, the pollution has become deeply integrated with her.

Therefore, even an absorption rate of 9.5% per second cannot shake this last stubborn contaminant.

"Senior Finage, get ready, I'm going to increase the force a bit," Roy said in a deep voice.

Finaigi on the bed nodded gently.

Roy's approach was very effective. With ample buffer time, although the physical reactions made Finage feel strange, overall they remained within a controllable range.

This made Finage's tense nerves relax a little.

After all, even if the number doubled, she could still manage, given the current situation.

In this way, she will not make any "ugly" mistakes, and she will not lose any of her "authority" as an elder.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but give herself a thumbs up in her heart.

As expected of you, Finage!

But the next second, she felt like slapping herself twice.

Is this what you call "a little" force? I think it's "a hundred million"! Ah!

Her inner monologue came to an abrupt halt, because the next second, Finage's consciousness was taken over by something, plunging her into complete darkness.

On the other side, Roy was also covered in sweat.

He had expected that the last 5% of contamination from Finage would be very stubborn, but he hadn't expected it to be this stubborn.

Even if he doubled the absorption rate to 19%/second, it would still be difficult to shake his position.

With the pollution removed to this point, there was no reason to give up. Roy glanced at Finaigi on the bed and noticed that although her face was flushed, her eyes still held clarity. So he gritted his teeth and increased the intensity of his absorption once again.

20%/second...25%/second...30%/second.

At this point, even Roy felt an immense burden.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to reach this level when absorbing energy from living beings at the same speed, since the other party would resist.

Even if Finage completely lets go right now, reaching this level is already close to Roy's limit.

To Roy's relief, with such a terrifying absorption rate, the stubborn last 5% of contamination finally showed signs of being shaken, and with just a little more effort, it could be extracted.

Seeing this, Roy gritted his teeth and continued to increase the power.

31%/second...32%/second...

Finally, when the power reached 33%/second, this stubborn contaminant could no longer hold on and was pulled out by [Infinite Desire God].

At this moment, Roy's entire body was covered with fine, blood-red cracks, making him look like a fragile piece of porcelain.

The extremely high power of [Infinite Desire - God] brought him immense pressure.

Now that the last bit of pollution has been resolved, Roy quickly shut down the absorption of [Infinite Desire God] and used its energy to heal the external wounds on his body.

Having done all that, before he could even catch his breath and look at the prompts on the gray character panel in front of him, a gentle force wrapped around his limbs, gently freezing him in mid-air.

"This is?!"

Roy was startled. He glanced around and found that the plants in the cabin seemed to have come back to life, becoming thick and lush. What froze him in place was a kind of vine that emitted a faint blue color, which had grown from the ground, the house, and the walls.

This is a very strange plant. Under the blue light, he felt as if his body was imprisoned, unable to struggle at all. It was like a person who, no matter how strong, could not lift himself up. This was the feeling Roy was experiencing right now.

Not only was his power rendered useless, but even his soul fire dimmed, shrouded in a blue glow.
