Bright but soft white light spilled from the roof of the room, reflecting this "alien space" at the bottom of the prison as if it were daylight.

Looking at the exquisite room in front of him composed of flower beds, green plants and other furniture, Roy's eyes were in a trance for a moment.

When was the last time you were here?

Oh yes, it was when I left with Shanica.

At that time, he was still a knight who had just come into contact with the breathing method for a long time, and now, he has the strength to threaten the golden knight.

During this time, he has experienced too many things with all the witches......

"Hoo ......"

Roy took a deep breath, a faint scent flowing through his nose, but he didn't know if it was left over from the room or from the girl.

Roy looked at the girl who turned around in front of him, and the little platinum horns on her head glowed slightly in the white light: "Shanica, what you want to say can be said now, there are only two of us here." ”

Although he didn't understand what it was, Shanica made the decision that the two of them had to talk in private, after all, even such a secret thing as the effect of talent evolution was not hidden among the witches, but Roy respected Shanica's decision.

Back at the house where she had lived for more than a decade, Shanika's eyes were tinged with complexity.

After more than ten years of imprisonment, she was initially filled with hatred for everything here, but for some reason, this emotion disappeared unconsciously later...... Perhaps, it is because this house carries the existence and memory of another person in addition to herself.

Shanika's watery eyes stared at Roy and said softly:

"Young Master Roy, I haven't said everything about what happened to me in the process of talent evolution."

"Unlike Miss Ace and Miss Lilia, my talent evolution is not a 'test', but more like a 'inheritance'."

Shanika's words made Roy's eyes move slightly, but he didn't interrupt, but quietly listened to the girl's story.

Soft light flowed down Shanica's long hair vertically on her shoulders, making the goose-yellow dress even brighter.

"The space for my talent to evolve is a vast and infinite world of decay."

"Gray enveloped the heavens and the earth, plants, mountains...... Everything was covered in gray and lifeless, and I could think of no other adjective than decay. ”

"The place where I appeared was a big gray mountain, and the purple rain that eroded the power kept falling. I climbed and climbed and climbed and climbed to the top of the mountain, and it was at this moment that a huge black tree that could not be described in words and supported the sky and the earth appeared in front of me. ”

"The gray mountain under my feet is like a small gravel compared to this giant tree, and there are many, many more 'gravel' like this around the giant tree."

"I can't describe how high it is, maybe 10,000 meters, maybe 100,000 meters, maybe higher? Compared to the giant tree, I am just a speck of dust between heaven and earth. ”

"The giant tree has lost its leaves, and all that remains is the charred black body that seems to have been burned by the fire, and there is no trace of greenery left."

"I felt an indescribable sadness, as if the whole world was sad because of this giant tree."

"The giant tree hovers above the endless pitch-black abyss, with endless roots in sight, deep into the abyss."

"And not long after I reached the top of the mountain, under the giant tree, the center coiled by several thick main roots slowly loosened, and a pure blue leaf appeared from it and flew in front of me."

"The instinct of my body made me raise my hand to catch the pure green leaves."

"Before my consciousness fell into darkness, I faintly heard a hazy voice."

She said.

"Go and find...... Look for...... Be careful...... Original Sin ......"

"I don't understand what this means, but I instinctively feel that the fewer people who know about this matter, the better, so I choose to tell you only one person."

At this moment, Shanica's pupils dilated, and she murmured in a dream-like tone.

After listening carefully to Shanica's story, Roy's face did not change in the slightest, but there was a storm in his heart.

"Be careful...... Original Sin ......"

- Original sin!

The voice Shanika heard in the talent evolution space, the "original sin" it refers to, could it be the [Original Sin Rubik's Cube] in his body?

Could it be that the World Tree that supports heaven and earth in Shanica's talent evolution space, as well as the entire world, has withered to this point because of the [Original Sin Rubik's Cube]?

Roy shook his head and dismissed the speculation.

From the current point of view, the [Original Sin Rubik's Cube] does not have direct destructive power, it is more like a tool, a tool to assist the host's growth.

When it doesn't encounter anything related to "taboos", it doesn't even actively surface the character panel, and its presence is almost none.

Of course, all this was just Roy's guess.

However, compared to the [Original Sin Cube], Roy prefers the "Original Sin" that the voice says, which is a living individual.

Things related to "original sin" are not only [original sin cube].

The legendary S-class taboo, and even so, the witch herself......

If the crown witch wants to break through to the realm of the great witch, the most orthodox way is to fit her own original sin characteristics, which shows that the deeper the witch's path goes, the deeper the connection with the original sin characteristics. With the strength of the Great Witch, facing the World Tree that supports heaven and earth, it will definitely not be able to cause such terrifying damage, but what if it is above the Great Witch?

The path of the knight is still supreme above the legendary knight, and Roy does not believe that the realm of the Great Witch will be the limit of the witch.

All along, Roy had a question.

Where is the talent evolution space that the witch enters when her talent evolves?

Whether it is Lilia's shadow world, or Ace's frost world, or even the withered giant tree world that Shanika experienced, it is by no means owned by the material world.

Taking the pitch-black supernatural giant tree as an example, if there really is such a "World Tree" that supports heaven and earth, at such a height, even anywhere, you should be able to see it when you look up, at the very least, you can see an outline.

But in fact, not to mention seeing it, even in the textual records, folklore, and even circulating myths, there is not a single word about the "Tree of the Dark World".

In this world, there is no Dark World Tree at all!

But those worlds are real.

Based on this, Lilia summoned shadow creatures from the shadow world.

Whether it's the Shadow Crow, the Shadow Wolf, Fenrir, or the Horned Moon Wolf King, they are all real creatures that can never be reproduced by imagination alone.

These shadow creatures have their own complete ecology and food chain in the shadow world.

By analogy, the frost world experienced by Ace and the withered giant tree world experienced by Shanica are also real worlds.

But why, would the Glow Empire not have the slightest rumor about these other worlds?

Shanica and Lilia's strength is just a witch, and against the Silver Knight, this level of power can hook up with the "other world", which means that the distance between these "other worlds" and the main world is definitely not far, and it makes no sense that the legendary knights and the empire will not know about these worlds.

Perhaps, the upper echelons of the empire do have relevant information, but the level of the original body and the father of the original body is too low, so they are not qualified to contact it, right?

Tree of the Dark World......

Sighing, Roy kept his thoughts to himself.

In any case, the only thing he can do now is to improve his strength and power as much as possible.

Only in this way can he face everything more calmly in the future.

At this moment, Roy, who was in deep thought, suddenly felt a faint fragrance in front of him, and he raised his head in astonishment, hitting the moist eyes that were less than five centimeters away from his eyes.

At this distance, Roy could clearly see that in the depths of Shanica's pupils, which were more rippling than the water of the star lake during the day, there was a faint purple color.

The white skin, which was more delicate than the jade of the highest grade water, the face of the craftsman who had worked so hard to describe one-tenth of the charm, and the numbing heat that gently exhaled from the slightly open lips.

As far as the eye can see, behind the short plain, there is a sharply elevated Qijun Mountain, which is the most beautiful masterpiece of the Creator.

If you look down and don't see your toes, you are the best in the world.

Shani...... Card? ”

The hot breath exhaled from Shanika's lips caused the part of Roy's neck that was touched by the heat to react, and his pupils dilated slightly, staring at the dark purple in the depths of Shanica's eyes.

This color, he had ever seen.

Just when the [Original Sin Rubik's Cube] Lust Chapter was lit, the goat-shaped pattern on the side of "Original Sin - Lust" was such a dark purple color.

Something is wrong, Shanika's current state is very wrong!

"Shanica, you ......"

As Roy spoke, his body instinctively leaned back, but every time he leaned back, Shanica advanced a little, and the distance between the two sides did not decrease in the slightest.

Roy was standing on the edge of the flower bed, under Shanica's "pressure", he had to retreat, but before he could take two steps back, his body touched the flower bed, and before he could turn sideways, Shanica, who had been keeping pace with him, suddenly accelerated.

With a "bang", a tender white jade hand pressed on Roy's chest, and with a strong force, he was caught off guard and pressed against the flower bed.

"Squeak......

The flower bed shook and made a sour sound.

Roy's body stiffened slightly.

At this moment, Shanika pressed one hand on the side of his left face, and the other hand on his right lower armpit, and her white thighs were sandwiched between his waist.

In such a position, Roy couldn't move at all.

And that's not all.

The distance between the two faces was less than three centimeters, and in the quiet of this place, Roy could even hear his own rapid heartbeat and Shanica's slightly rapid breathing.

The softness that hung down deformed Roy's chest, like a water bag spread out at the bottom, making Roy's breathing become rapid unconsciously.

Tranquil scent, messy breath...... The dark purple in the depths of Shanika's pupils dilated little by little, almost occupying her pupils completely!

The distance between the lips is approaching, three centimeters, two centimeters......

The physique comparable to the golden rank gave Roy the ability to forcibly lift Shanica, but the stiffness of his body and the blankness of his brain made his body almost lose strength and could not make any movements.

One centimeter......

At this distance, Roy could even faintly feel the subtle fluff on Shanica's face, itchy and numb.

But just before the distance between the two sides was about to reach zero, Shanika's pupils that had completely turned into dark purple suddenly lit up in the center of her pupils.

Compared with the dark purple, the pure green is so weak, like a residual candle in the wind, which may be extinguished at any time, but the appearance of the pure green light made Shanica's eyes change, like a person who woke up from a dream, with a faint fog in her agility.

"Master Roy~"

The end of the distance approached made Roy relax for a moment, and the breath he had held for nervousness returned, gasping for breath.

The dark purple gradually receded, and the color of her eyes gradually faded back to the original blue and gold, Shanika looked at Roy under her, the contact on her chest, the strong feeling, made her neck and cheeks dye a large area of redness.

But Shanica didn't back down, but bullied downward, but turned her head away, and at the last moment, let her side face rub against Roy's side face.

Roy could clearly feel the sharp deformation of the softness that was pressing in front of him, the indescribable sensation that made his rapid heartbeat difficult to calm.

"I'm scared ......"

The voice full of complex meaning sounded in his ears, which also made Roy's thoughts condense a little.

"It's all like a dream."

"I'm scared that the beauty of my dreams will disappear when I wake up."

"So, I long to be close to you, to feel the temperature of your body, your heartbeat, so that I feel like I exist......"

"The moment I woke up from the Star Lake, I was terrified."

"If I hadn't woken up, if I hadn't seen you again, I couldn't imagine what it would have been."

"Luckily, it was just a nightmare."

"I hate my weakness, and I don't want to be a burden to you...... So, I'm going to work harder. ”

"Young Master Roy......"

With that, Shanica tilted her head and put her hands on Roy's face so that she could meet her own.

Blue gold and light brown, two pairs of eyes of different colors are intertwined.

"In the days to come, please take care of it~"

A gentle and bright smile appeared on Shanika's face, like the warm winter sun passing through the transparent glass and through the rippling hearts of people.

"Even if one day in the future, you don't need me, I will follow you silently."

"Your future will be bright, and I am very confident in that."

After saying the last sentence, Shanica let go of the hands that were holding Roy's face and propped up her body, the softness compacted to the extreme bounced and stretched with her movements.

Looking at Roy, whose eyes were slightly stunned, Shanica licked the corners of her mouth.

"Really, I can't help but want to eat you~"
