It felt so good to be close to the witch!

The most obvious change after advancing to the Silver rank is that the energy storage limit of Roy's internal space has increased tenfold, from 10 to 100!

The maximum amount of battle qi for a silver-ranked individual is 99, and the maximum amount of magic power for a witch is also 99. In other words, if Roy does not store any energy in his body, he can drain all the energy of an individual of the same rank in a few brief encounters.

A knight who has lost his fighting spirit, and a witch who has lost her magic, are like lambs to the slaughter when facing beings of the same level.

Besides the increased storage limit, what surprised Roy the most was that the current [Infinite Desire] no longer required direct physical contact. As long as the distance between the two parties did not exceed 10 meters, he could absorb the energy from the other party.

Within 10 meters, the closer the distance, the faster the energy absorption rate. At the furthest distance of 10 meters, it is only about one-tenth of that at zero distance. The former has the advantage of speed, while the latter has the advantage of distance, allowing for continuous absorption during combat.

It can be said that the Silver-rank [Infinite Desire] has undergone tremendous changes and has become valuable in actual combat.

After experiencing the changes from [Infinite Desire], Roy turned his attention to his other talent, [Unquenchable Wrath].

Roy has only had the [Unquenchable Flame] talent for a short time, and he hasn't studied it in great depth.

So far, we have summarized two methods of using the Fury Light Signet: "Rage State" and "Destruction State".

Unfortunately, Roy's enemies were all at least Gold-ranked, and the difference in strength between them was too great, so he had never actually tried out [Unquenchable Flames] in actual combat.

This left Roy quite disappointed.

After all, as a man, who wouldn't want to roam freely if given the chance?

After advancing to the Silver rank, the changes to [Unquenchable Wrath] are also obvious—the amount of battle qi required to condense a Wrathful Flame Seal has increased from three to thirty.

That's all.

kindness……

Well, as expected of a pure combat talent, the effect is so simple and brutal.

Roy, who had painstakingly condensed a silver raging light seal by absorbing the magic power within the high-purity magic crystal, stopped his experiment.

He has no intention of trying out the "rage state" for the time being.

A single Silver Flame Seal is worth a full thirty Battle Qi! He can't afford to try.

Although he hadn't tried it, Roy knew that once the Silver Fury Seal was unleashed, it would definitely give him the same level of physical strength boost as when he was in the Bronze era.

The bronze raging light seal formed by the three strands of battle qi, while amplifying Roy's current physique, could never be as powerful as before.

The law of conservation of energy, even if it manifests in different forms, still exists in this world.

The energy required to raise a person's physical strength from 1 to 3 is vastly different from that required to raise it from 10 to 30.

Before advancing to the Silver rank, Roy felt that his physique had already surpassed that of a normal Silver 1-star. Now, after breaking through, nourished by attribute battle qi, he felt that even a Silver 2-star would not be as strong as him.

With such a physique, once the Fury Light Seal is used to enter the "Destruction State", even a Golden Knight would have to take it seriously.

Roy was secretly pleased with himself.

Unfortunately, the "Destruction State" is not even as good as the "Three-Second True Man" and can only be called the "One-Second True Man". It is okay to use it as a trump card, but if you really use it to fight against the Golden Knight, you will be courting death.

After experiencing the changes of [Infinite Desire] and [Unquenchable Wrath], Roy stood up.

A gurgling sound came from his stomach.

He is hungry.

The condensation of battle aura requires not only magic power but also the addition of the knight's own life force. But where does life force come from and how is it replenished?

The answer is simple.

That’s eating!

It transforms the nutrients in food into its own vitality.

This is why knights without noble titles would choose to attach themselves to or pledge allegiance to the lords of their territories.

Although knights are powerful, there are many things that power alone cannot accomplish.

If he were alone, the Silver Knight would be busy from morning till night just dealing with food, leaving him no time for cultivation.

The problem of hunger is easily solved. Roy's [Original Sin Cube] contains a large amount of food.

It's worth mentioning that when he awakened his talent for the second time, namely the [Unquenchable Flame], the storage space of the [Original Sin Cube] also expanded, from two meters in length, width and height to four meters in length, width and height.

The space size increased from 8 cubic meters to 64 cubic meters. Although it still couldn't compare to the high-level space ring with a capacity of over 100 cubic meters that the Moon Witch Cecilia gave him, the storage space was still very large.

High-level spatial rings are extremely rare treasures, even within the entire Radiant Empire.

Moreover, once Roy awakens his talent again, the storage space of the [Original Sin Cube] will definitely exceed that of this high-level space ring.

After quickly consuming almost ten times the amount of food a normal person would eat, Roy's hunger gradually subsided.

I estimated the time... four hours of unconsciousness, half an hour of treating the Ice Witch Ais, fourteen hours of breathing technique practice, and one hour of breaking through to the Silver rank. All these times added up to a total of 19.5 hours.

When Roy returned from Star Lake, it should have been around 3 a.m., which means that there are only about half an hour left before the end of the Fertility Festival.

Uncle Red is probably frantic right now because he can't find me, right?

Roy silently apologized to Red in his heart.

The conflict in the Star Lake incident was far more intense than he had anticipated. He had thought that at most only Gold-level beings would be involved, but unexpectedly, even a Legendary Three-Star being, who could be considered a super expert throughout the entire Radiant Empire, got involved.

At present, although the legendary knight Sima of the Fang Wind died at the hands of the Moonlight Great Witch Cecilia, the fates of the two peak-gold Blood Sword Karles and the black-robed hooded figure are still unknown. Before his side has recovered its fighting strength, he dares not risk leaving the hidden place.

It should be noted that the faction of the Second Prince, to which the figure in the black robe and hood belonged, had a grudge against him. If the other party failed because of the failure of the Star Lake Project and had nowhere else to vent his anger, he would come to the Lord's Mansion to vent his anger on him. With only the Bronze level, oh, now he is just entering the Silver level, he would have no chance against a peak Gold level being.

Red was merely a loyal knight of Blackrock Territory, and even if the figure in the black robe and hood were to take his anger out on him, it wouldn't be to his deserving. In the eyes of the nobles of this world, knights loyal to them were simply subordinates. The death of a subordinate might cause the master some heartache, but it was nothing to them.

Therefore, Roy was determined not to go out until the Ice Witch Ais awakened and regained enough fighting power.

Just then, the surprised voice of the fox-eared witch Elena brought Roy back from his thoughts.

"Sister Ais, you're awake!"

Has the Ice Witch Ais awakened?

Roy felt a surge of joy, turned around and quickly walked to the bedside, where he saw the white-haired, silver-eyed girl who had just opened her eyes, her eyes still slightly hazy.

"Miss Ais, you're awake! That's wonderful!"

……

A hazy light and shadow entered my eyes, and my drowsy consciousness gradually became clear, while vague memories also surged into my mind at this moment.

Beneath the starry lake, he intercepted the Crimson Sword Callus and the hooded figure in black robes, repelling them. After resting and recuperating, he encountered the legendary Dark Gold Female Knight, a figure of unparalleled gold. Despite his best efforts to slash his ice sword until it bled, he was no match for her casual flick of a finger, ultimately being knocked down and falling into a coma...

My memory ends abruptly here.

Is this heaven?

The Ice Witch Ais was lost in thought.

She knew very well that she, who couldn't even withstand a casual blow from her opponent, had no chance of survival unless her opponent stopped attacking after knocking her unconscious.

But how could that be? He's a legendary figure among the Temple's Divine Punishment Knights...

A group that has an extreme aversion to witches.

...I wonder how Roy and Miss Lilia are doing?

Years of being hunted have made Ais less concerned about her own life and death. What she cares more about is what happens to Roy and Miss Lilia after she dies, and whether they can escape from the clutches of that dark gold female knight.

Although she herself knew that even she was no match for the Dark Gold Knight, let alone Roy and Lilia, whose chances of escaping with their lives were extremely low, what if?

I just hope my intervention will buy them enough time to escape...

Ais thought to herself silently.

Besides Roy, Ais's biggest worry right now is Elena, who is in Blackrock Territory.

Having lost her protection, and most likely Roy's patronage as well, how will Elena survive in this empire filled with malice towards witches...?

Feel sorry……

A soft murmur of guilt escaped Ais's heart. As time passed, her blurred vision gradually cleared, and the figure that came into view made her freeze.

Black hair, brown eyes, a familiar, handsome face with chiseled features...

Roy?

So you've come to heaven too? It seems you couldn't escape the clutches of that legendary female knight in the end...

The Ice Witch Ais felt a complex mix of emotions, but along with that complexity came a strange sense of relief.

The pursuit by the temple and the constant hiding kept her on edge.

Now that I've died and entered heaven, in a way, it's a kind of liberation. I no longer have to live in constant fear, and I can finally do the things I've always wanted to do but couldn't...

Looking at the familiar face before her, Ais suddenly had an interesting idea.

Since we're already dead and in heaven, what does it matter if we do things we wouldn't have done before?

She quickly reached out and placed her hands on either side of Roy's cheeks, then pulled hard at the same time, making Roy's face look like a funny expression.

Seeing Roy, who always maintained a mature and composed expression, now looking so comical, and with his blank stare, Ais couldn't help but smile.

Hmph! Serves you right for always acting so mature.

Surprisingly, Roy's face feels pretty good to the touch...

The thought in her mind made Ais unconsciously pinch Roy a few more times, and in doing so, she pulled out a few different funny expressions on Roy's face.

Ais's eyes crinkled with joy as her desires were fulfilled, but then she felt a pang of heartache.

Did I hurt him just now?

Following her heart, Ais changed her kneading to rubbing, gently massaging Roy's cheeks clockwise: "Sweetie, I didn't mean it..."

"Miss Ai-Ais?"

A surprised voice came from Roy's mouth.

He never expected that the Ice Witch Ais, who was always as aloof as an iceberg, would make such a bold move.

Even Elena, the fox-eared witch standing to the side, was deeply shocked by Ais's actions.
