It felt so good to be close to the witch!

The unique relationship between Shanica and Roy is no secret among the witches...

The entrance to the hidden place.

Looking at the delicate figure in front of him, surrounded by countless pure blue light spots, as if she had stepped out of a fairy tale wonderland, Roy could no longer suppress his emotions.

He rushed forward and, amidst the girl's gasp, pulled her into a tight embrace.

"you……"

He wanted to scold her, to admonish the girl in a serious tone, but in the end, only one sentence came out of his mouth:

"I'm so glad you're okay!"

"Oh my~" Looking at the young man, the horned girl's eyes were filled with gentle tenderness. She raised her hand and gently stroked the young man's head, saying softly, "I'm sorry for making you worry, Lord Roy."

"but……"

"If I had the chance to choose again, I would still do the same thing."

"Shanika, I really, really want to help you..."

"Although I am a doctor, I actually hope that you will never get injured."

"So, I've been working hard."

"I hope that one day I can stand with you on the battlefield and fight side by side..."

"Starting today, you don't have to work so hard anymore. You can try relying on me a little bit~"

The girl's voice, like the gentlest spring breeze, brushed into Roy's heart, stirring up endless ripples.

Chapter 201 Lord Roy, Lilia also wants to seize the future!

Roy was worried about Shanika's hasty breakthrough to the realm of the Great Witch, but he was also delighted by her ultimate success.

Upon closer examination, it becomes clear that Shanika's breakthrough was by no means accidental.

Having just reached the limit of the Grand Witch rank, Shanika should theoretically have honed her skills for a while before breaking through. However, with her unpolluted and pure body, two perfect evolutions of her talents, and the unintentional achievement of a high degree of compatibility with the original sin characteristics of her soul, the probability of her breaking through to the Grand Witch rank is still very high.

At least, in the recorded history of the Witch Association, there has never been another Grand Witch with such favorable conditions.

After exchanging pleasantries and congratulations, everyone gathered in the courtyard with great interest, ready to witness the changes that would occur after Shanika broke through to the realm of the Great Witch.

From Grand Witch to Great Witch, a witch's magical body transforms into a higher magical body, and her innate abilities also undergo a qualitative change.

Facing the curious gazes of the crowd, Shanika awkwardly curled her hair, seemingly pondering how to present herself.

A few seconds later, she looked at the small tree in the corner of the courtyard and her eyes lit up.

As she raised her hand and pointed, pure blue magic instantly entered the sapling's body. The next moment, to everyone's wide-eyed surprise, the ordinary sapling began to grow wildly.

It was only about three meters tall, but as if freed from the shackles of life, it grew into a towering tree, hundreds of meters tall, filled with pure blue light, in less than 0.5 seconds! Countless vines hung down from its branches, like green silk.

Roy walked forward curiously, grabbed a vine, tugged at it, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Although he didn't use much force, the vine didn't budge at all when he pulled, which was a bit scary.

It should be noted that his basic physique has now reached the upper limit of the legendary peak, and he is only one step away from the legendary limit. Moreover, with the support of various special skills, ordinary legendary limit knights are far inferior to him in terms of physique.

Under such circumstances, how could this seemingly weak vine withstand his pulling?

Moreover, the pure blue magic on the surface of the vines also has the effect of suppressing battle aura, magic power, and soul light. Roy tried a battle aura attack and found that the effect was very poor, even though his battle aura attribute was able to counter the fire attribute of the tree. It can be inferred that other attributes of battle aura or magic power would probably be even less effective.

As Roy continued to exert force, the pure green vine emitted a sour sound like a taut steel cable.

It wasn't until Roy exerted 10% of his strength that the pure green vine finally couldn't hold on any longer and broke into countless fibers.

"It's incredibly resilient!"

Roy's tone was full of amazement.

It's already terrifying that it takes him 10% of his strength to break it, because there are hundreds or even thousands of similar vines on this tree. If Roy were to be entangled by a large number of vines, it would take him quite some time to break free.

For legends and even demigods, a delay of 0.1 seconds is enough to decide the outcome of a battle.

About ten seconds later, the pure blue light on the hundred-meter-tall tree dissipated, and at that moment, the tree completed its entire life cycle, turning into ashes and disappearing. Only a deep green seed fell from mid-air and was caught by Shanika.

As Shanika knelt down and planted the tree in the original spot where the large tree had been, she explained:

"With my advancement to the Great Witch and the perfect evolution of my talents twice, my Light of Life can now not only enable plants to break through their own life limits in a short time, but also give them extraordinary power. The price is that after the time is up, these plants will return to their original state of life."

"Not only that, my healing abilities have also undergone a qualitative transformation."

"Regenerating severed limbs is nothing special. Even if the body dies, as long as the time of death is less than a day, I can forcibly bring it back to life. However, there may be some small price to pay. The longer the time of death, the more severe the memory loss will be. If it is brought back within an hour of death, there will be basically no memory loss."

"In addition, there are many more capabilities that I need to develop in the future."

After listening to Shanika's presentation and introduction, everyone present was shocked.

The "Light of Life" ability alone, which even the legendary limit couldn't immediately break free from, was enough to make Shanika a qualified control-type support in the following operations.

Not to mention the second ability—Resurrection from Death. It forcibly brings the dead back to life; although limited to one day, it's still terrifying enough.

"Lord Roy, now I should be qualified to act alongside you, right?"

Shanika's sparkling eyes looked at Roy, and then at Latie beside her.

Roy was silent.

Emotionally, he didn't want Shanika to take the risk.

But reason told him that Shanica's addition would play a vital role in the upcoming plan to breach the Cathedral of the Privy Council—not only would he, Latie, the Border Duke, and Finage be spared from injury in battle, but they could also provide timely medical treatment to the witches trapped beneath the Cathedral of the Privy Council after their rescue.

Not to mention, Shanika herself has a very strong ability to control herself.

After hesitating for a long time, Roy finally nodded under Shanika's expectant and apprehensive gaze.

"Great!"

Seeing Roy agree, Shanica exclaimed excitedly and pulled the little angel Vivian next to her into her arms.

Ais and Lilia's eyes showed envy, and they pursed their lips tightly—they also wanted to fight alongside Roy.

We must, we must, speed up our cultivation!

Both women secretly made up their minds.

"Alright, stop being so happy." Roy said helplessly, "Shanika, since you're going to participate in the next operation, you need to start adapting to and mastering your newfound strength right now. We're leaving tomorrow at 1 p.m.

"The enemy we will encounter in this operation will be very strong, so we must not be careless."

“I understand!” Shanika replied seriously, her expression turning serious. “I’ll go practice right away.”

"I'll go with you. Sparring is the fastest way to improve your skills," Lati said from the side.

“Thank you for your help, Sister Latie.” Shanika’s eyes lit up with joy.

"Okay, go ahead." Roy nodded in satisfaction.

-

Spurred on by Shanika's ascension to the Great Witch, the witches trained even harder, especially Ais and Lilia.

For some reason, Roy felt that Lilia was looking at him strangely, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, but he didn't think much of it.

With a major battle imminent, he also needs to adjust his condition.

Late at night.

The crimson moon hangs lonely and high in the sky, silently overlooking everything on earth.

Roy stood by the window in the room, gazing up at the night sky.

He did not practice breathing techniques.

He was somewhat unsettled tonight.

This operation marked his first time stepping onto the stage and engaging in a head-on battle with the temple since arriving in this world.

Unbeknownst to me, I was just an ordinary person, yet I have already experienced so many bizarre and wonderful things.

Roy sighed inwardly.

Gazing at the crimson moon, he couldn't help but recall the seven crimson moons in the night sky of the "Seventh Realm of Original Sin: The Realm of Lust".

How similar the moons are in the two worlds! The only difference is that one has one moon, and the other has seven.

He raised his hand, letting the crimson moonlight flow through his palm. After a while, Roy shook his head, turned around, and went back to bed, ready to get a good night's rest.

He couldn't remember the last time he had a proper night's sleep.

However, Roy paused as soon as he reached the bedside.

Turning his head to look at the girl who had emerged from the shadows in the corner of the room, her head bowed, Roy blinked: "Lilia, is there something you need so late?"

Her smooth black hair fell to her shoulders, naturally cascading down to her dazzling white shoulder blades. Lilia kept her head down, making it impossible to see her expression.

She didn't speak, but took slow, deliberate steps, gradually approaching Roy.

The soft candlelight reflected tiny arcs of light off the leather pants covering the girl's full, long legs.

The girl stopped when she was less than 30 centimeters away from Roy.

She raised her head, her bright black eyes meeting Roy's lowered gaze.

Only then did Roy see the girl's expression clearly.

The white plum blossoms in the snow are pure white and translucent red.

The girl's eyes held a strong determination: "Lord Roy."

"Lilia, I don't want to be useless anymore."

"I also want to seize the future that belongs to us."

Looking at the shy yet determined girl before him, Roy was stunned. Then, a gentle smile appeared on his face: "Lilia, you don't have to force yourself because you're in a hurry."

Before Roy could finish speaking, Lilia quickly shook her head: "No, no, I'm not forcing you at all."

Uneasy, anxious, fearful.
