……

As the magic net enveloped her body, Charlotte's expression shifted unpredictably as she felt the magic pool within her rise and fall.

Shock, joy, and confusion overwhelmed her when she met Eli's gaze and saw the knowing smile on his face.

"So, Eli, you said you had an epiphany overnight and your magic improved a lot, but it was actually because of Lynn's help?" She looked like she had been tricked.

Eli stuck his tongue out at her.

She wasn't entirely lying; after joining the magic network, her thinking did indeed broaden considerably overnight, and her understanding of magic also reached a new level.

"Charlotte, this is a magic system I inherited from a mysterious mage. In addition to expanding your magic pool, it can also provide a magic recovery effect, but this effect has a distance limit and can only be maintained within 200 meters of me."

This was the effect of the magic network evolving again; the magic recovery effect far surpassed that of an ordinary staff. He understood from Charlotte's surprised expression that she had already discovered this.

"How are you feeling?" Eli asked her.

At this moment, within Charlotte's body, the suddenly changing pool of magic energy suddenly accumulated a huge amount of magic power, and the bloodline of the Demon Wolf King, which had been wantonly invading her body, suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.

But due to its wild and untamed nature, it actually took the initiative to clash with the magic, and the two forces began to fight within her body.

Charlotte's pale face suddenly flushed with uneven color, her body temperature rose, and she began to tremble all over.

If things continue like this, even if she manages to balance the power within her body, she will inevitably suffer considerable damage.

Fortunately, there was a healing mage by my side.

Eli gripped her staff tightly and began to chant a spell softly, her voice gentle and melodious, like a lullaby.

As she sang, Charlotte indeed calmed down considerably. With the help of Eli's magic, her magic gradually gained the upper hand, suppressing the ancient bloodline power.

"Fortunately, this power is incomplete; it will grow as I grow..." Charlotte opened her eyes and looked deeply at Lynn. "Thank you, Lynn. Because of your help, I am confident that this harmonious situation can continue."

As she spoke, she let out a long yawn, the exhaustion from her long sleeplessness finally bursting forth.

Eli put his arm around her shoulder and let her lie in his arms as comfortably as possible.

She heard Eli softly murmur, "Sleep, sleep." The lullaby-like chanting continued.

Soon, she fell asleep.

It was pitch black; neither in the forest she had known since childhood, nor in the bustling city or noisy streets.

Charlotte wandered aimlessly in the darkness until she felt a gaze upon her.

She turned around and stared blankly at the figure in front of her.

That was Rigel, whose body was covered in sores and whose face was unrecognizable.

These days, he keeps appearing in her dreams, to the point that Charlotte is afraid to fall asleep.

After returning from the Whispering Forest, she was not only affected by the bloodline of the Demon Wolf King, but also entangled by the undead of the Gere there.

"Riegel, we both became disciples of Master Farinor, following the same teachings, learning the same magic, and walking the same path..."

She murmured to herself.

"But why have you become like this?"

She calmly examined the face of her former classmate, trying to recall his normal appearance.

"So, will I become like this too?"

"The demonic path we pursue, the natural way we have always followed... I originally thought that 'harmony' was the most natural thing, as if it had existed there from the beginning."

"But you have shown me what kind of disaster will befall us once life deviates from this path."

"Balance isn't unbreakable, is it?"

She remembered the tragic altar in the forest, and how she had almost been devoured by the bloodline she inherited.

This is far from what she had always believed.

She knew evil existed, but she didn't know it could be so terrifying. She had always believed that the world was "harmonious" and "balanced," but she never imagined that these two things could be so easily broken.

What terrified her even more was that she seemed to see her own reflection in Riegl.

Charlotte covered her face with her hands, unable to maintain her composure any longer. She knelt in the darkness, like a tree broken by a storm.

The spirit of Nyarl seemed to have been waiting for this moment for a long time. He leaned down affectionately, as if to kiss or embrace Charlotte.

Just then, a full moon rose in the distance.

The pure, pristine, and flawless full moon creates a dreamlike, unreal feeling.

It illuminated both of them at the same time.

Charlotte raised her tear-streaked face, deeply captivated by the full moon, and stood up.

And Rigel's ugly and terrifying appearance behind her was immediately exposed under the light.

He screamed and vanished in the blink of an eye.

Under the full moon's glow, Charlotte, as if drawn by a primal call, sprouted fine, long golden hair all over her body.

She transformed into a demonic wolf, howling with her head raised, but she did not lose her mind; instead, she was filled with a satisfied joy.

Inside the attic room, Charlotte, now a golden wolf, still rested her head on Eli's lap, emitting soft, gentle whimpers.

Shortly after Charlotte fell asleep, the two noticed that her expression was very unusual.

So, while Eli calmed Charlotte down with [Soothing Mind], Lynn used the fusion magic [Illusory Aura] to enter Charlotte's dream.

This was the first time Lynn had used [Illusory Aura] on someone else, and the effect exceeded his expectations.

Unexpectedly, it can both affect reality, creating real light and shadow, and influence people's minds, creating false illusions.

It can even be projected into dreams, giving him the magical ability to create dreams.

Guided by her spirituality and understanding of natural magic, Lynn created a full moon with purifying and healing abilities.

Of course, this is more based on the psychological impact.

……

When Charlotte slowly woke up, she heard this argument.

"Doesn't this monkey have a name?" Lynn was teasing the little monkey that was baring its teeth at him.

"Why name wild animals? It's unnatural!" Eli retorted earnestly, drawing on her limited knowledge from the Green Tower.

"Is it natural to keep monkeys in places where humans live?"

Eli explained to him in a low voice, "Actually, this monkey followed Charlotte on its own initiative. Most wild animals are afraid of Charlotte, but this one is different."

"It is smart, clever, and very polite. Even Charlotte, who likes to be alone, has gradually gotten used to having it by her side."

Lynn glanced at the monkey with a complicated expression, and couldn't help but think:

What would poor Carlyle think if he knew his rival was a clever monkey?
