Iver When I woke up, it was still completely dark outside.

"... three o'clock in the morning."

He smacked his lips and hesitated. "How about... sleep for a while longer?"

But seeing Path Trait that he had just obtained, Iver got up and planned to give it a try.

——Feed the Shadow Demon for a taste first, and comment on how it tastes.

But when Iver cut his finger, he suddenly remembered that Path Power was now out of balance. I haven't been able to use Shepherding Method for the past half month.

"... It doesn't matter."

As Shadow Demon's sweet whisper sounded, the shadow under his feet climbed up along his legs, spread to the fingertips of his right hand, and wrapped it.

It deliberately made a sucking sound and said vaguely, "I don't mind it."

"Can you get power from flesh and blood without using Shepherding Method?" Iver couldn't help but ask as he watched Shadow Demon drink with relish.

"Of course... it's impossible."

Shadow Demon chuckled, "Iris The high-level transcendental beings over there at Path of Love hold at least 10% of [Flesh Dedication]. If they can make the Phantom Demon become stronger at will, what's the point?"

"How does this taste?" Iver seriously consulted customers, seeking feedback on new products.

"Compared to Shepherding Method's holy blood, it's just average."

Shadow Demon commented fairly. "But I don't dislike it... it has a bit of a taste. Hmm... it's like drinking cold water from a cup after drinking lemonade. It also has a bit of a taste."

That's still a lot worse.

"Then don't drink it. It's a waste of my blood."

Iver waved his hand and slapped the shadow demon that was stuck on his fingertips like mud back to the ground with a squeak.

A beam of fire danced on his fingertips, like a lighter. The flames flashed away, and the tiny wounds disappeared without a trace.

"Hey, why is this..."

Shadow Demon was a little dissatisfied. "In the past half month, Paradox Flame Butterfly has been drinking, right?"

"——What?"

It turned into a flame butterfly and landed on Iver's shoulder. Paradox Flame Butterfly, who was silent, heard that the topic was brought to him, and couldn't help but respond with a childish voice similar to Yulia: "I'm growing."

After half a month of blood feeding, it's unclear how much Little Butterfly's strength has improved. But his intelligence has obviously improved a lot.

At least I can communicate normally now.

At this moment, Iver suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

The sound of knocking on the door was very soft, as if afraid of waking the sleeping person inside. If Iver hadn't woken up, it would have been impossible to hear the knocking on the door.

Because Lily is still in Promotion Ritual and has not woken up. Iver ran to open the door by himself.

As a result, Iver was surprised to find Isabel in pajamas standing at the door.

Her hair was messy and her eyes were sleepy. Apparently he had just woken up and ran over before even washing his face. I can still vaguely feel the heat of my bed in winter.

She was shivering from the cold at the door, and Iver quickly pulled her into the house first.

"... You're in such a hurry, are you okay? Why don't you knock louder?"

Iver said, then took off his white Fox Fur Pajamas and put it on Isabel. The flame butterfly was disturbed and flew directly up, scattering some spark-like phosphorus powder. Then it circled around Iver twice, and finally stopped on his shoulder.

After taking off his shirt, Iver reveals his inner body.

It does not match the image of a sickly person wearing fluffy white pajamas and sitting in a wheelchair - after Iver takes off his coat, you can see the clearly visible muscles on the white jade-like body.

Those are not exaggerated muscles, but the chest and abdominal muscles are still visible without inhaling. Even the shoulders and arms can see faint curves. But even so, his collarbone was still deep and protruding.

——If it were before, Iver might still be a little afraid of the cold.

But after his priest career was promoted to Third Level, his physique got a pretty good bonus. Even in the deep winter of late December and early January, you won't feel too cold if you are bare-chested.

The Path Power of [Flesh Dedication] comes from Blood Domain, and it further strengthens the body of Iver, making it more perfect.

Isabel looked at this scene in his pajamas, his cheeks turned slightly red.

... I really want to touch it.

An idea suddenly came to her mind.

——How can you think so, Isabel! This is so... so shameless...

She quickly shook her head vigorously to dispel the reverie in her mind.

Although she knew that Iver was a member of the team before, she always subconsciously felt that Iver was a weak and weak type... the kind of frail young man who wore thick clothes but couldn't help but cough in a low voice. But now she saw Iver's abdominal muscles, and the first reaction in her mind was to touch the sunken lines in the gaps between the muscles.

She herself has no such thing as abdominal muscles.

If she didn't have to learn dance, just sitting there drawing and playing the piano every day would be enough to make her grow a belly.

The "All-rounder" profession's increase in the dancer's identity is mainly reflected in the softening and balance of the body. Even though she was already Third Level, she still lacked strength... Of course, she only lacked strength compared to extraordinary beings of the same level, and she was definitely much stronger than ordinary people.

At least for now, it's pretty easy to do a few backflips in a row. She felt that she might be able to do a backflip while rotating her body horizontally... but that move was too dangerous, and she didn't dare practice it without a teacher watching her.

Seeing Isabel looking at his abdomen intently, Iver touched it with a strange expression and looked down.

Ah, it does become more obvious...

"...Isabel?"

He couldn't help but remind, "Why are you here?"

"Ah!"

Isabel came to his senses immediately.

She tightened her Iver pajamas that were still warm and whispered, "I'm just... a little worried about your situation.

"I wonder if you have completed your promotion..."

At this point, she swallowed subconsciously. It was like using saliva to dilute the smell of blood remaining in his mouth.

Before she fell asleep and lost consciousness... the last image in her mind was that of herself biting Iver's wrist and sipping blood like a crazy puppy.

If Daya's baby teeth weren't strong enough and sharp enough, she might have bitten Iver's wrist off.

But even so, she felt a little guilty.

Because she knew how much force she used - just like biting into inedible meat, with all her strength and a ferocious look.

That would definitely hurt.

And if there was too much blood loss, Iver might die... Besides, she had no idea what happened next.

She was worried that when she woke up, she would hear the news that Iver had failed in promotion. Although Promotion Ritual at this level is not very dangerous, it will make her feel that she has caused trouble to Iver.

However, Isabel's real fear is that she is holding back Iver on the more advanced Promotion Ritual - can she really become a qualified teammate of Iver? Really help him instead of being protected at risk...

"——What are you thinking about?"

Iver seemed to have heard her voice and sighed helplessly, "I was successfully promoted.

"Not only that, I'm also first in points."

"It's amazing!"

Isabel praised.

"It's nothing... By the way, what is Path Trait you chose?"

Iver was a little concerned. "You came here so quickly. Did you choose too hastily?"

"Ah, the teacher has already defined the range for me. What's more, I only have one purple characteristic, so I can only choose that one."

Although generally speaking, Path Trait is a secret that no matter how close people are, it cannot be revealed casually, but Isabel still answered obediently, "This is what I chose..."

As she spoke, she spread her right hand.

The light pink light bloomed and turned into a pink rose in her palm.

Then Isabel smiled slightly and put it in Iver's hand.

Feeling the touch of the real petals in his hands, Iver asked uncertainly, "What is this?" [Cunning Spell]? [Resilient Illusion]? "

"Yes. Resilient Illusion."

Isabel was very happy. "This way I can go into the illusion department... The teacher is also very good at magic in this direction."

The effect of Resilient Illusion is to increase the difficulty of seeing through the illusion. Although the illusion cannot cause physical damage, even if you break away from the illusion, you will be forced to suffer about one-fifth of the effect.

This Path Trait also has a subsequent enhanced version, which is considered a good route.

"... Is there any problem?"

Isabel saw Iver was silent for a moment and hesitated. "Did I choose the wrong one?"

"No, there isn't."

Iver quickly replied, "I was thinking about other things... This Path Trait is very strong. You can choose [Cunning Spell] or [True Illusion] later to further improve the effect."

... There is just one problem.

This Isabel is further and further away from the original historical "Queen of Flowers". Originally the BD of Isabel was formed in Theocracy, which mainly controlled various plants through music, painting, sculpture, poetry and other means.

But now Isabel can still learn under the guidance of Master Agnes, and I am afraid that he will inherit her mantle.

As Little Butterfly flaps its wings, history begins to change more and more obviously - what Iver was thinking just now is, if there are too many changes, will his prophet still be useful? Or will it in turn become a drag?... But compared to Queen of Flowers who had a cold face and frowned, Isabel who is now happy may be a better development.

No, not maybe.

——At least, she is smiling.

That should be the better "possibility" that she prefers. Iver thought to himself.

Update completed! My rhinitis feels almost better, and the copy is over! I'll take a day off tomorrow to rest, and then go out for a haircut... Maomao hasn't been out for two months...

I haven't slept well this week, sleeping less than six hours a day. I was very sleepy during the day, but I felt energetic again at night. At 8 o'clock in the morning, I was woken up by the shit shoveling officer to code words. The cat wanted to have a full sleep tomorrow...
