The drowsy brain gradually woke up, the faint yellow fire flowed from the slit in the eye, and the shadow witch Lilia's closed eyes tore a slit, and in the dappled candlelight, a figure reflected in her pupils.

It was a young man with black hair and brown eyes who was kneeling on the ground, dressed in fine clothes.

From Lilia's point of view, the candlelight on the desk behind the young man dimmed, outlining the outline of the boy's body into a misty shimmer.

“…… Roy, my lord? ”

Some hoarse voices came out of her mouth subconsciously, Lilia's divergent eyes gradually condensed, the bedding covered her body, and the familiar smell made her heart gradually settle down because of the nightmare.

Lilia's voice was soft, but Roy, who was now as physically fit as a bronze three-star knight, had sharp hearing.

His ears moved slightly, and the breathing between his mouth and nose slowly stopped, Roy opened his eyes, set his eyes on the black-haired and black-eyed girl lying on the side of the bed, and said in surprise: "Lilia, you are finally awake!" ”

"Finally...... Roy-sama, have I slept for a long time? ”

Lilia propped herself up, and the futon slipped off her, revealing a large patch of dazzling whiteness from her left shoulder, which she had ripped off herself during the previous decontamination, and Roy was too embarrassed to do anything, so he had to cover her body with the futon.

The night breeze blew Lilia's delicate skin, which made Lilia look down, and then reached out and pulled her clothes up as if nothing had happened.

But Roy could see that a faint flush appeared on her earlobes, representing that the girl's heart was not as indifferent as it seemed.

"Ahem......" Coughing lightly, Roy stood up and came to the bedside: "It's been almost six hours." ”

"After the pollution was removed, you fell into a coma, and I was a little worried, so I asked Shanica to take a look, and she said that you are in the process of 'talent evolution'."

"Lilia, how are you feeling now? Is there anything wrong with your body? ”

"Uncomfortable place ......"

Lilia pursed her lips and raised her hand to her heart.

Faintly, she could still feel the warmth of her previous stay.

The redness of the earlobe showed signs of spreading, and Lilia quickly shook her head vigorously:

"Nope."

"However, talent awakening is ......"

Hearing that Lilia was fine, Roy breathed a sigh of relief, and then said expectantly: "I have learned with Shanica, and it is initially speculated that when the level of pollution in the body is low and the total amount of magic power reaches a certain standard, the witch's talent may evolve. ”

"The contamination in your body has been completely removed by me before, and the absorption of the natural magic power in the high-purity magic crystal has made you inadvertently meet the conditions. Can you take a moment and feel if your talent has changed? ”

Hearing this, Lilia was stunned, and her heart couldn't help but ripple.

The previous nightmare turned out to be the process of talent awakening?

So, was that previous experience a dream? Or is it a real sight in the shadows?

Suppressing her thoughts, Lilia closed her eyes and felt the changes in her body and talents.

The complete disappearance of pollution gave her a feeling of soaking in the hot springs, dilating the pores of her whole body, and relaxing her body.

Although her pollution level is relatively lower than that of her sister Vivian, it has actually reached a very high level.

90% pollution level...... If it continues, it is estimated that in less than three months, Lilia will also follow in the footsteps of her sister Vivien and fall into a semi-uncontrollable state.

Although her daily behavior is normal, in fact, only Lilia herself knows that she is constantly suffering from the physical and mental erosion caused by pollution.

But now, all these negative effects are gone!

In a trance, she felt like she had been reborn.

Determined, Lilia turned her mind to talent.

As soon as she tried it, she noticed something different.

She "saw" in the depths of her brain, an irregular pitch-black crystal slowly swirling.

The slightly familiar appearance made Lilia's heart skip a beat.

Isn't this the piece of staircase I bit off in my nightmare?!

A twisted world, a throne of shadows on a high platform, a shadow scepter in front of a throne......

Sure enough, everything I experienced before was not a dream!

Lilia's heart beat a little faster.

It's not a dream, it means that she still has a chance to enter that place again, a chance to try to climb the high platform, and hold the Shadow Scepter!

At that time, will my strength be strong enough to help Lord Roy wipe out all enemies......

The girl's mind turned a thousand times, but soon, she calmed down.

Now her strength is still too weak and too weak.

Ninety-nine steps, she couldn't even bear the first step, and in just a second, she was crushed by the terrifying coercion.

If you want to really go to the Throne of Shadows, I'm afraid you have to have a crown witch, no, the crown witch is not safe, you have to have the strength above the crown witch!

You have to work harder......

Silently decided, Lilia focused on the change in her talents.

As soon as her mind moved, in an instant, her body completely melted into the shadows.

A second later, Lilia condensed from another shadow beside Roy, her eyes full of surprise.

Previously, she had a transformation time of 0.5 seconds, which was very short, but in front of the real powerhouse, it was the most fatal flaw. Just like when the Ice Witch Ace attacked her before, she seized on her weakness and froze her completely.

But now, this flaw is gone!

Now, with just a thought, Lilia can completely melt into the shadows, almost invincible!

Lilia raised her right hand, and the shadow flowed backwards like fluid, forming a dagger in her hand that was deeper than the color of obsidian.

With a few simple waves, the sound of the "silk" piercing through the air represented how terrifying the sharpness of this weapon condensed from shadows was.

Although she didn't actually try it, Lilia could tell that the quality of the shadow weapon she had condensed had improved by more than one step based on her touch.

And the changes don't stop there.

Under Roy's gaze, Lilia walked to the open space in the center of the room, took a deep breath, and raised her hands, palms facing down.

Wisps of shadow magic spread out of her body and flowed to the ground, forming a circular black circle.

In the next second, the black circle began to rotate at high speed, and a hideous and terrifying beast slowly rose from the black vortex.

It was a half-human-tall, scarlet-eyed, athletic, razor-sharp claw creature with a wolf-like appearance.

After emerging from the black circle, it did not roar, nor did it make any manic movements, but meekly walked up to Lilia, raised its head, rubbed Lilia's hand gently, and then lowered its head, like a courtier waiting for the "king" to order.
