Chapter 304

"Hmph~ Adele, this witch isn't that petty. If you want to watch, then keep watching. Don't be embarrassed later."

"What are you looking at? Why should I be embarrassed? Aren't we observing Rider to determine if his power comes from Balshatt? Do you have some other purpose, K?"

Adele tilted her head, her delicate little face full of innocence.

Witch K fell silent again.

Is this the same little girl I met before?

Does one's personality gradually change after a conversion of faith?

She reached out and pinched 'Adele's' cheek, jokingly trying to tear off the latter's disguise, which made 'Adele' roll her eyes.

Then, witch K's attention returned to the scene in the dream. In the pink mist, the dream girl who looked just like her was now in the riding position, galloping wildly. Her wild posture was the complete opposite of witch K's usual dignified elegance. Although witch K felt extremely ashamed, she could use this to comfort herself.

"This isn't me, this isn't me, this isn't me..."

Will she become addicted to desire like this?

Obviously not.

So, this was nothing more than a figment of Ryan's imagination, a fake being that looked exactly like her.

It was probably because they had just met that she was so impressed. Ultimately, she was careless and hadn't considered this aspect. Although Ryan did seem quite proper... well, that makes sense. So many proper people are dishonest behind the scenes. Having lived for over a thousand years, what kind of people hasn't Witch K seen?

So she simply sat down, drank her tea, and patiently waited for Ryan's 'trial' to end.

The duration of the spell based on primal desire is related to the intensity of the target's desire. Witch K estimated it would last about ten minutes. Anyway, it's fake, so why worry about it?

As a result, an hour passed while they waited.

"Why isn't it over yet?!" Witch K was dumbfounded.

In the scene, her illusory image changed from riding to being a scholar, first standing up and being behind her, then kneeling down and being behind her, and then lying down and being behind her, with postures that changed in a way that was astonishing.

That's bad enough, we've tolerated all these witches, but why isn't this over yet???

She was waiting, waiting for Ryan to be fully immersed in the influence of the Desire Spell, before guiding him to release the Magic Power within him to observe the Faith Path.

This method is essentially similar to illusion, but it is more realistic and can prevent Ryan from disguising his Magic Power properties through other means, since such things are not uncommon.

"Amazing." 'Adele' sat in the chair, her shapely legs, clad in black Mary Janes, swinging back and forth happily, her eyes full of schadenfreude.

Witch K was speechless.

She couldn't understand why Ryan was only giving her trouble.

"It should be over soon."

Witch K thought to herself.

Although she was powerful, she didn't know much about this kind of thing. Fortunately, she was well-read and knew roughly how long it took for men and women to go in and out. Most people's time was within ten minutes. If it took more than ten minutes, that was considered excellent. If it could last half an hour, that was considered exceptionally talented.

As for an hour... Witch K thinks that's a problem that needs treatment.

However, the Supernatural Being is slightly stronger; I estimate it will take another ten minutes or so.

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock...

The pocket watch that Witch K had placed on the tea table slowly ticked away, ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes... Witch K didn't get to hear Ryan's triumphant roar of satisfaction. Instead, she saw 'herself' being assaulted wave after wave, her body convulsing and her eyes rolling back as Ryan pounded into her!

To be honest, Witch K was completely dumbfounded at this point.

She's lived for a thousand years, what hasn't she seen?

I've never seen anything like this before!!!

"Wow, that's amazing!" Adele covered her mouth with her hand, echoing Witch K's exclamation.

"Ahem... this, this is just an illusion, it can't be taken seriously." Witch K shifted her gaze somewhat awkwardly, picked up her teacup, took a sip to calm herself, and said, "Maybe he's not good enough in reality, so he's trying to find confidence in the illusion."

'Adele' turned her head: 'Under your magic, he can still control himself?'

"... That probably won't work."

Although unwilling to admit it, Witch K knew it was impossible. Let alone Ryan being just a minor Fourth Tier transcendent, even Seventh Tier Transcendent would succumb to her magic.

"So, isn't this his own ability?"

"You seem very happy?"

"Is there?"

Witch K thought to herself, "You almost wore your happiness on your sleeve."

She shook her head helplessly; all she could do now was wait.

What kind of situation is this?

Two hours later.

The dream world has finally undergone a new change.

Witch K's spirits lifted, thinking Ryan was finally done, but then the pink mist suddenly surged violently, and something happened that made her unable to resist the urge to rush in and kill Ryan —the pink mist surged more and more violently, and then, under her and Adele's watchful eyes, one after another, delicate and petite figures appeared!

Those are a group of witch K's loli dolls!

Witch K suddenly had a bad feeling.

Then, amidst Ryan's unrestrained laughter, all the puppets merged into the pink ocean that symbolized the coloring mist.

Those petite and adorable dolls were easily picked up. Witch K couldn't understand why Ryan wasn't showing any signs of fatigue, but instead seemed to be getting stronger with each battle.

She swore that if Adele hadn't held her back, she would have gone over and broken Ryan's third leg right then and there!

"How could I have had any expectations of someone like that? I was so stupid!"

Witch K felt that there was no need to continue this test.

With that kind of behavior, he's a follower of Balshatt? Impossible!

This is clearly a spy who infiltrated through the path of desire!

Just as Witch K had sharpened her knife, waiting for the right moment to end Ryan's sinful life, the pink mist suddenly changed again.

The pink mist gradually turned gray, transforming into a gray space that Witch K was all too familiar with. Then, in the next moment, all the little witch K dolls who were still engaged in passionate lovemaking with Ryan vanished.

"This is!"

Whoosh~

Witch K stood up in surprise, staring at the Misty Space that had appeared in the dream.

Adele exclaimed in surprise, "This place looks a lot like the Babel Tower! K, did you do this?"

"No, this isn't me..."

Although Witch K could control the power of the dream space, she did not do so because the magic had already taken effect. What she wanted to see was the result of the magic's evolution, not her interference with the test results.

But even without her power, Ryan was trapped in the dream and couldn't escape. Who else could influence the dream?

Witch K's heart skipped a beat.

"No way..."

Could this guy really be one of Balshatt's chosen ones?

Just then, a familiar palace suddenly appeared in my dream.

Above the mist, at the palace, and at the far end of that palace's view, a striking golden throne suddenly appeared!

Witch K's pupils contracted, and the next second, a violent tug came from her mental sea. The feeling was the same as when she was summoned during the ritual at the Babel Tower. However, this time she was not summoned into the Misty Space, but her mental state was in a state between reality and illusion.

Witch K dared not resist in any way until this state lasted for quite a while before stopping. When she recovered, she cautiously peered into the dream space and discovered that there was another person inside besides Ryan — Adele was standing at the palace gate, waving as if she were gesturing to her.

Witch K turned her head and realized that 'Adele' was also asleep. The 'Adele' in the dream was not the illusion, but a consciousness.

"Did Balshatt bring Adele in? He didn't summon me because I used magic on Rider? But why did he call Adele in too?"

Witch K's thoughts were somewhat chaotic, but since things had come to this point, she could only stop the spell's influence and release Ryan and 'Adele'.

"Hmm~~"

At the tea table, Ryan stretched comfortably.

"Huh? Did I fall asleep? Wait, I think I had a strange dream. Adele? What are you doing here? Oh, I remember now, you and I were in a palace before... Strange, what were we doing before that? I feel like I've forgotten something important."

"You don't remember?" Witch K stared intently at Ryan. "What happened before we entered the palace? You don't remember?"

Ryan shook his head. "I can't remember, but I feel like I did something that made me feel good... Hmm? Miss K, how did you know I entered the palace? What exactly happened just now?"

Seeing Ryan's puzzled expression, Witch K fell silent.

Just as she thought, the effects of magic do not leave a memory; once the target leaves the dream space, they will forget that memory.

"In other words, Rider was indeed affected by magic before, until Balshatt's power descended..."

Witch K looked at 'Adele', who also looked at her and cautiously beckoned with her finger.

"K, come with me for a moment."

Adele walked to the side.

Witch K frowned slightly and followed.

"What happened? Adele, how did you end up in that dream?"

Adele turned around, her expression serious. "K, I've been summoned by Balshatt."

"... As expected." Witch K felt that palace was too familiar, and the fact that it could hinder her mental exploration meant it was none other than Balshatt's doing.

"Adele, the great Balshatt, what did He say?"

"K, you guessed right, Rider's power really does come from Balshatt." 'Adele' crossed her hands tightly in front of her chest, making a pious gesture. "Balshatt gave him a task, to find some lost fragment, and I was just asked to help."

"Fragments? What fragments?"

Adele shook her head. "I don't know. Rider should know. It's probably something very important."

"Why don't you just call me or me directly for this kind of thing?" Witch K asked, puzzled.

The fragment the Lord of Creation is looking for must be extremely important, perhaps even a treasure coveted by the gods. But why didn't Balshatt speak up when he clearly saw her last time?

Don't you trust her?

Or rather, is Ryan more trustworthy than her?

"You still dare to say that," 'Adele' rolled her eyes. "If you hadn't used magic on Rider, the Creator might not have even appeared, k, you deserve the most credit."

"..."

Witch K's lips twitched slightly, feeling a sharp pain in her chest. Who would have thought this would happen? She had only wanted to confirm Ryan's Faith Path.

I should have used some other simpler method. People really can't act on a whim. But since the Creator chose Rider, does that mean Rider possesses a talent that none of us can imagine?

The Creator didn't come looking for me; perhaps He really is blaming me. Fortunately, this spell won't cause any harm.

In short, things are going well now, and Adele has been summoned by the Creator and witnessed that power. Adele should no longer have any doubts.

Fragments... never mind, whatever they are, I can find them for the Creator.

A casual little tea party passed smoothly in the witch K's own imagination.

Witch K didn't rashly ask what fragment Balshatt had asked Ryan to find, and Ryan, in turn, wasn't in a hurry to tell Witch K. After all, he was now the chosen one of the Great Creator; with that status, why would he be afraid that Witch K wouldn't listen to him?

Ryan had no choice but to reveal the matter of the fragments, as it concerned his path to advancement. Finding all the fragments on his own would be too inefficient. Breaking through to the fifth rank was urgent, and he was also busy with matters Primal Church, so he had to ask for help.

However, Witch K is a loyal fan of Balshatt and has not betrayed him for over a thousand years. Her loyalty speaks for itself, so there's no need to worry about telling her.

The Witch K's overwhelming strength at the Eighth Tier should make finding the Advancement Fragment much easier.

Oh, and by the way, the witch's taste is really quite good.

In the dream space, Ryan was naturally fully awake, and through 'Adele's' perspective, he confirmed that the witch K was watching from outside.

Okay, since you want to see, I'll let you see as much as you want!

Dreams are illusions, and they change depending on one's thoughts. Although Ryan is a Pure White Dragon, in order to convince the witch K, he has no choice but to reluctantly fight against her illusion.

"I'll talk to Adele about it later, and then we can bring in the witch K to help. Hmm, let's start with the temples of the various gods. She's lived for over a thousand years, so she should know quite a bit about these places."

The power of faith can enhance his strength, but advancing still requires fragments, so Ryan needs to solve this problem.

Speaking of which, there is one inside the temple at the Gate of Janus, but unfortunately, it's now under the Pope's sway, and going there now would be like throwing a lamb to the slaughter.
