Why is my anime art style so weird?

Xu Ming was speechless for a moment.

The system's explanation is quite clear. Of the three shikigami, Haruyuki Arita has the least potential and is not very compatible with this medicine, so he needs to sleep for a full month to allow his body to adapt to its effects.

Conversely, Erina not only has high potential, but also the highest compatibility with 'Dragon's Blood Essence', which is why it only takes 3 days.

Xu Ming now understood why his sister had been unable to wake up for so long.

Although my older sister has high potential, she absorbed divine blood containing great power, so it naturally takes her longer to digest and adapt to this power.

It takes about two to three days to get from Camelot to the Forest of Poison Mist. Crossing the Forest of Poison Mist and reaching the lake takes another one to two days. Climbing the tower in the middle of the lake may take another one to two days.

In other words, the final battle will take place in a total of 7 days, starting tomorrow.

Xu Ming needs to increase his combat strength within 7 days.

This one point alone has already made the choice for him.

Xu Ming summoned Erina and handed her the 'Dragon Blood Essence', gesturing for her to drink it.

At this moment, Erina was in her blonde, tsundere form. She took the crystal bottle, looked at it from left to right, but didn't say anything.

Xu Ming asked, somewhat puzzled:

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and drink!"

Erina's face immediately showed a look of disgust.

Why would I drink something of unknown origin?!

Then she looked at Xu Ming with a suspicious expression.

"Wait! Could this be some kind of **?"

You're not thinking of drugging me and then doing this to me...

Erina suddenly clutched her chest with both hands, took a big step back, and stared at Xu Ming warily, while subtly glancing at the luxurious bed behind him.

She seemed afraid that Xu Ming would lose his beastly nature and push her down, doing this or that.

Xu Ming immediately wore a look of bewilderment, as if he was both laughing and crying.

"What are you thinking! How could I possibly do that!"

Besides, would I need to go through all that trouble to drug you if I wanted to do *that*?

Xu Ming felt that his explanation made a lot of sense.

After all, whether it was Erina in her silver-haired 'daughter' form or her purple-haired 'maid' form, she obeyed him completely.

If you take them to bed and make love, they definitely won't refuse; they might even be very proactive.

But Erina, with her blonde hair, doesn't think so.

Chapter 665 Sleeping Potion

Erina looked at Xu Ming with disdain.

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe you just enjoy this kind of thing. Aren't you boys the type who get more excited the more you resist?"

Xu Ming's face darkened.

Where did you hear this claim?

Erina answered as if it were the most natural thing in the world:

"It's a shoujo manga! Like those domineering CEOs and wolf cubs, aren't they all about the girl resisting and going against him the more excited he gets?"

Xu Ming's face was so dark it looked like it was about to drip water.

"You're not allowed to watch any more of that nonsense."

"Why should I listen to you? I don't want to listen to you."

Erina raised her head arrogantly and stared at Xu Ming without backing down.

"If you don't want to wake up one day and find yourself naked in my bed, you'd better do as I say."

Xu Ming threatened viciously.

"You, you!? Shameless! Pervert! This is harassment!"

Erina's face flushed bright red, steam rose from her head, and she began to scream incoherently.

"I'm harassing you! So what!"

Xu Ming looked at her arrogantly, a cold smile playing on his lips.

Erina pursed her lips, her cheeks flushed an unusual crimson with shame and indignation. She subconsciously raised her small fist, but quickly lowered it again, her eyes filled with grievance and anger, and a tear welled up in the corner of her eye.

"Also, drink your medicine right away!"

Xu Ming continued to give orders with a cold face.

He realized that to deal with this kind of stubborn, arrogant person, he had to be tougher than her.

"Hmph! I'll drink it then!"

Out of spite, the arrogant girl picked up the crystal bottle and gulped it down.

Bah!

After she finished drinking, as if to provoke Xu Ming, she threw the crystal bottle forcefully to the ground, shattering it instantly.

Before long, Erina's body was uncontrollably enveloped by black mist, and then blue, orange-red, and purple light orbs converged on her like moths to a flame.

The orbs of light, symbolizing the elements of ice, fire, and lightning, gathered together and then revolved around Erina like a satellite.

"Huh!?"

Seeing this amazing scene, Erina's mouth involuntarily formed an 'O' shape.

Xu Ming wasn't too surprised. Dragons are the darlings of the elements, natural-born mages. Didn't you see that Artoria, who also has dragon blood, didn't receive any formal magician training, yet was able to use wind-attribute power solely based on her talent?

Xu Ming was very much looking forward to seeing how high Erina could go after drinking the essence of the blood of two giant dragons.

Perhaps the power hidden within the dragon's blood was too strong, because soon, two red clouds appeared on Erina's fair face, and her exposed skin gradually turned a lovely pink, making her look as if she were drunk.

She held her temples, shook her slightly dizzy head, and pointed at Xu Ming with an annoyed expression.

"You still say you didn't drug me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Erina collapsed to the ground.

Xu Ming quickly helped her up.

At this moment, Erina was already snoring adorably; she had fallen completely asleep.

Xu Ming shook his head, a bitter smile on his face.

I didn't expect the dragon blood essence to be so potent; this confirms that she was drugged.

However, Xu Ming did not hesitate and directly sent Erina back to the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

Erina is currently in her weakest state and will be better protected during the Hyakki Yashou.

Nobody thinks he'd do anything to Erina right now, right? No way! (laughs~)

Not to mention that he had plenty of opportunities to play father-son/mother roles with silver-haired Erina and master-disciple roles with purple-haired Erina, but there was simply no need for it.

Drugging someone and then taking advantage of them is nothing short of despicable, like picking up a drugged person in a bar.

Xu Ming believes he still has principles when it comes to being a person.

After recalling Erina to the Hyakki Yagyōshō, Xu Ming summoned Asagami Fujino and instructed her to keep watch for him. Then he lay down on the large, soft, luxurious bed to rest.

Midway through, a succubus came to inform Xu Ming that the Queen had invited him to dinner.

Xu Ming, who was already wary of Morgan Lefebvre, naturally declined her invitation.

He'd rather hide in his room and eat dry rations than foolishly jump into someone else's trap for a little treat.

And speaking of British cuisine... oh~

I will cry if I continue.

After a good night's rest, Xu Ming got out of bed feeling refreshed.

As expected of a bed specially used by the royal family to entertain guests, the softness makes you feel like you're floating on a cloud; it's probably filled with goose down.

After having a quick breakfast of compressed biscuits, a banshee soon informed him that the party heading to Camlann Hill was ready and would escort him to the Poison Mist Forest.

Xu Ming hurried to the castle gate, where Gawain rode a Nightmare, followed by nearly a hundred Death Knights.

The entire team was imposing, and the air was filled with a cold, iron-blooded aura, as if it wanted to freeze everything.

Still wearing that slightly revealing blue-black dress, Morgan Lefebvre stood on the castle terrace, looking down at the group, a mysterious smile on her charming face.

Xu Ming declined Gao Wen's suggestion to find him a Nightmare horse, and finally got into a carriage drawn by several skeleton warhorses.

"set off!"

Gao Wen waved his hand.

The entire team immediately began to move forward, and during this process, the team moved almost without making a sound, yet their steps and formation were as precise as if measured with a ruler.

Before long, the entire group disappeared on the horizon.

Morgan Lefebvre's smile never faded until Mordred's voice came from the side.

"Your Majesty, we have spent so much time and consumed so many undead, yet we still cannot break through the Hill of Camlann."

Could this mercenary of unknown origin truly reach the throne of my father, King Arthur?

Morgan Lefève's smile vanished instantly upon hearing this.

"So what?"

She countered with a question.

"..."

Mordred was speechless for a moment.

Morgan Lefebvre casually played with the ends of his hair, looking completely indifferent.

"This suddenly appearing powerful mercenary is an unexpected surprise, and it would be great if he succeeded."

Even if we fail, we won't suffer any losses. And given the strength he's demonstrated, even if he fails, he'll likely cause significant damage to Arthur's forces. Isn't this the opportunity we've been waiting for?
