Free Web NovelChapter 139: Chapter 61: Tainted Magic Power! Your Heart... How Is It Gone?
"Edith!?"
Su Xuan was startled by Edith’s appearance. He had been so engrossed in reading the Holy Scripture of Light that he hadn’t noticed time freezing around him.
"So, it was the Holy Scripture of Light?"
Edith glanced at the book in Su Xuan’s hands, a peculiar glint flashing in her eyes as if she had something to say.
"Yeah, I’ve been studying Magic hard lately."
Su Xuan replied in all seriousness. He was always passionate about exploring Magic. ’Compared to advanced math, this is so much more fun!’
"What’s so great about learning Divine Magic? I can use the power of the Abyss to directly reshape your body and implant Magic right into your consciousness," Edith said, gracefully sitting down on the sofa. She gently crossed her long, slender legs, and her scarlet high heels glinted alluringly under the light, like burning flames that completely captured Su Xuan’s gaze.
She looked so relaxed and at ease, as if she were in her own home.
"..."
Edith’s words left Su Xuan stunned. He recalled the Succubus Fruit she had given him before. While it was true the Abyss had many items to enhance one’s Physique, he had never heard of implanting Magic directly into someone’s consciousness. ’Is that even possible?’
"Will it affect my brain?" Su Xuan asked.
"Hm, it might turn you into a tentacle monster," Edith replied nonchalantly.
"Fuck that! No way!"
Upon hearing her answer, Su Xuan immediately rejected the magical implant. ’I don’t want to become a tentacle monster! I want to keep my original form!’
"Such a shame. I always thought you had great potential as a tentacle monster," Edith said with a smile, shrugging her porcelain shoulders. "You’ve worked hard. Now, give me the Flame Magic Stone."
"Hold on."
Su Xuan got up and headed to Rosaline’s room to retrieve the Flame Magic Stone.
"Rosaline..."
The moment Su Xuan pushed the door open, he saw Rosaline sitting cross-legged on the bed, meditating. A Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly fluttered cheerfully beside her.
’Is she asleep?’
Su Xuan walked over to Rosaline and saw that her eyes were shut tight.
’Forget it, I’ll just get it myself.’ Su Xuan reached his hand into Rosaline’s Soul Body, trying to retrieve the Flame Magic Stone. The moment his hand passed through, it felt like plunging it into gooey jelly.
When he touched the Flame Magic Stone, its searing heat was still unbearable. But knowing he only had to move it a short distance, he endured the intense heat and resolutely pulled it out.
"So hot, so hot!"
Cradling the searing Flame Magic Stone, Su Xuan hurried back to Edith and tossed it to her.
"Phew..."
Only after letting go of the Flame Magic Stone did he heave a sigh of relief. "Can you tell me what you’re going to do with the Immortal Fire?" he asked.
Su Xuan knew in his heart that Edith hadn’t gone to all this trouble for the Flame Magic Stone just to defeat Flame Demon Vigil.
While the Immortal Fire could provide a Flame Demon with an endless supply of flames, it wasn’t an unbeatable power.
No matter how powerful the Immortal Fire was, it couldn’t withstand damage beyond its limits. Just as Lucia had said, even the Anger Demon King who created it could be killed by force, let alone a mere fragment of his heart.
"Why? Are you that concerned about my affairs?" Edith asked softly, carefully observing the Flame Magic Stone in her hand.
"What do you think?"
Su Xuan shrugged. ’My Guild members put their lives on the line to seal the Immortal Fire. Don’t I at least have the right to know what it’s going to be used for?’
Besides, the intricate connection between Edith and Ivsha, and their striking resemblance, naturally made Su Xuan feel a sliver of concern.
Edith turned her head to gaze at Su Xuan, a strange light flashing in her deep, dark-red eyes. After a brief silence, she explained softly, "I intend to use the Immortal Fire to forge a Holy Artifact. I have many enemies, you know, so I need some powerful defensive items to protect myself."
’That’s true.’ Su Xuan suddenly realized Edith did have many enemies. It made sense she’d need more ways to protect herself.
"Now that I have what I came for..." freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Edith slowly rose and walked toward Su Xuan, her high heels making a crisp, pleasant sound against the old wooden floorboards.
When she stood before Su Xuan, she reached out a delicate hand, plunging it toward his heart.
Su Xuan was baffled by her action, but before he could react, he felt her delicate hand pierce his chest. Bright red blood instantly gushed out. A searing pain shot through him, as if his heart were being ripped apart.
At the same time, he heard Edith’s soft whisper in his ear. "This is your reward for a job well done. The process, however, might be a little painful..."
"Are you sure it’s just a *little* painful?"
Before Su Xuan could finish speaking, his consciousness began to fade as he rapidly descended into chaos.
In his fading vision, a series of prompts quickly popped up, a blur before his eyes.
[Congratulations, you have obtained a wisp of Filthy Sexual Desire Magic Power!]
’Filthy?’
Su Xuan’s hazy consciousness was filled with confusion. ’What’s the difference between Filthy Sexual Desire Magic Power and Pure Sexual Desire Magic Power?’
However, he couldn’t ask Edith this question. The pain in his heart intensified, mercilessly dragging him into a dark abyss.
[Due to the influence of Filthy Sexual Desire Magic Power, your heart has changed slightly. Cardiac endurance increased by 1000%. Cardiac blood supply capacity increased by 1000%!]
[Your blood has been tainted by Filthy Sexual Desire Magic Power. It may have become... poisonous? However, it has also become incredibly delicious, attracting creatures that have a taste for blood!]
[Your body has changed slightly. Damage resistance increased by 1000%!]
[Your soul has changed slightly. You will develop a preference for filthy lust!]
...
When Su Xuan opened his eyes again, the first thing he saw was a gentle and beautiful face, as flawless as jade. She had long, elegant ears, and her silver hair shimmered with a captivating light. The sight of her dazzling, snow-white mounds made him feel faint all over again.
’Am I getting a lap pillow from the Elf Queen?’
"What happened to you?"
Just then, the Elf Queen’s gentle voice drifted over him. Her azure eyes were like brilliant Crystal Stones from the deep sea, tempting one to gaze into the depths of her very soul. At the same time, Su Xuan felt her fingers gently glide across his chest. The cool, subtle touch sent a slight shiver through him.
She asked with concern, "Your heart... why is it gone?"
