The silver-haired girl barely covered her body with the quilt, but still exposed a large area of snow-white, and the gauze outlined her graceful figure, everything was vaguely visible.

It took several days to completely study the spell. Olivia was almost exhausted. She never thought that studying the spell would be so tiring. It even felt like she had experienced a thrilling battle.

But "Anher" who was studying with her was still full of energy and seemed to never get tired.

"Aren't you tired?"

Olivia turned his head and looked at the man's side face with an angry expression.

Although this experience was a bit unexpected, she felt extremely relieved and satisfied, which meant that they could experience more things together and complete all the scenes she had dreamed of, even being far happier than "Scale of Promise" in the story.

The "co-researcher" also turned his head, a red light flashing in his golden pupils.

Olivia suddenly shivered.

She felt that there seemed to be a hint of violence in the other person's eyes.

——Just like the Abyssal Devil she had seen before, or the pure-blooded Red Dragon who burned, killed and looted, it was not like the eyes that an upright and kind-hearted Golden Dragon could have.

"Is this an illusion?"

Olivia frowned slightly and thought to himself.

"Anher" smiled again. He stared at Olivia with burning eyes. "We dragons are born magical creatures. We have always been studying spells in human form, and we always feel a little restrained."

"Teacher Olivia, should we conduct research in the original form?"

Olivia buried the doubts he just had in his heart.

She smiled and threw the pillow on the bed at the other party, pretending to be embarrassed and said, "This is a tavern, such a small place, do you want to destroy it?"

But she didn't expect "Anher" to have a cold face and replied softly:

"It's not cramped here, Olivia, it's enough for us to do anything."

"Anher, what are you talking about?"

Olivia Suddenly felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart.

The silver-haired girl looked around at a loss. She didn't know when she had changed back to her Silver Dragon form.

——The cozy room, the soft bed, and the swaying lights disappeared like bubbles, replaced by tall domes, cold walls, and thick steel pillars. It turned out that she had always been in this palace and had never left.

The young man with black hair and golden eyes in front of her also showed his ferocious true appearance. As the fine magic light flashed, Red Dragon, which was more than thirty meters long and as huge as a hill, appeared in front of her, and its spread wings completely enveloped her.

Silver Dragon raised her head stiffly, and the foul-smelling black energy floated above her head, greedily sucking in the light and lost thoughts.

She recognized the spell.

That is the extremely vicious Eighth Circle Spell——[Mind Labyrinth], which can imprison the subject's mind and create a confusing maze of illusions.

"No"

"Impossible"

Olivia Like falling into an ice cave, she kept shaking her head, unwilling to face all this.

All those warm dreams and beautiful longings were shattered, replaced by a reality that was more completely destroyed and more desperate.

Tears of despair welled up from Silver Dragon's eyes. She mustered up her last courage and asked in a hoarse voice:

"Where is Anher?"

"You, what did you do to him?"

Keosius walked slowly in front of Silver Dragon, lowered his head, and whispered in her ear:

"Trifa Church's silver coffin, Fatteri Hall's corner, Aguer Forest's southern waterfall, and Witch's Veil Tavern's bookshelf"

Olivia suddenly felt like he was struck by lightning, his face full of disbelief.

These are the most private pieces of information she told Anher when they were together. Others have no way of knowing it, but this Embers of the Burned King can tell every piece of information in such detail.

Olivia suddenly had a terrible thought in her heart, but she still didn't want to believe it.

Red Dragon puffed out Sulfur Scent's white smoke at will. "Olivia, I have long said that when you know the truth of everything, you will only feel that you are a complete joke."

"There has never been any Anher that you know. The only one that exists from beginning to end is Keosius."

He stared at Silver Dragon and spoke word by word.

Olivia lay exhausted on the ground, her blue-gray eyes filled with confusion.

The only life-saving straw that supported her in the past has now become the sharpest dagger stabbing her. So where should she go?

"Why."

"Why are you doing this?"

After a long silence, Olivia whispered.

The voice sounded like a feeble question, but also like a desperate cry.

But Keosius did not respond, and just said indifferently, "Come on, we still have a long time."

"You can enjoy it slowly..."

Silver Dragon, who had been imprisoned for several months and studied for several days, was already exhausted. What's more, Red Dragon was absolutely suppressed by her size and strength. She could only let the other party do whatever he wanted without being able to resist.

This time the research was even more intense, like a violent storm. Hot energy surged through her body, and there was even thick smoke surrounding her.

Keosius stared at Silver Dragon's slender neck.

He suddenly felt that the desire in his heart was even stronger, and it was not even limited to physical pleasure. He urgently wanted to vent this desire.

"Tear it apart! Destroy it all!"

It seemed as if a violent voice sounded in the bottom of my heart.

Is that what he thinks? Keosius didn't notice that his pale golden pupils were filled with bloodshot eyes, revealing endless desire for destruction. Thick saliva even hung down from the corners of his mouth, and his sharp claws had been stretched out.

Olivia suddenly felt an extreme danger, which came from the most primitive instinct and was the biological fear of the most chaotic and unknown existence.

She was more frightened than she had ever been before.

Silver Dragon almost exhausted her last bit of strength, struggling on her hands and feet and flapping her wings, but her claws could only leave shallow white marks on her scales.

Keosius held her neck with his thick arms, almost pressing her down. The veins on his arms gradually swelled and became stronger and stronger.

Under the threat of life, Silver Dragon turned around and bit his arm desperately, but the sharp teeth could not penetrate Red Dragon's most superficial protection.

For Silver Dragon, this is a life and death struggle, but for Keosius, it is just a meaningless and powerless resistance, not even scratching.

Silver Dragon is already dying.

Everything seems to be coming to an end.

Olivia looked at Red Dragon stubbornly, she mustered up her last bit of courage and tried her best to speak.

"No!"

"This is what you Five-Colored Dragon are, the dirty heirs of Tiamat!"

"Now you are like a beast dominated by desire, a demon from Abyss! You will be hated by all living creatures! For a existence like you, you will one day be completely destroyed by the gods! Perhaps feeling that her life is about to pass away, she almost pointed at her nose and cursed, she was desperate.

"Abyssal Devil."

Keosius murmured to himself.

"Abyssal Devil."

He repeated it again, Red Dragon's huge body trembling slightly.

The fire burned in his eyes and then went out. He stood there, as if he was fighting an invisible enemy.

Endless roars came from the void, invisible heat energy filled the air, terrifying fluctuations appeared in the air, and even the ground was shaking violently.

Eventually, everything calmed down, and Keosius opened his eyes again, and the bloodshot eyes disappeared.

Previously, due to the strong pressure of Red Dragon, no family member dared to say all this, not even the closest and most trusted Lang Pu, but now Silver Dragon inadvertently gave him the only reminder through insults.

This is just an insignificant introduction, but it is precious.

The previous Keosius was like walking in a fog, but this time the reminder finally revealed a little light, allowing him to break free by his own will before he was completely trapped in it.

Keosius finally realized all this.

Red Dragon's eyes gradually returned to clarity, and he finally realized something. Shock and anger appeared in his eyes, but it was not towards Olivia.

"Damn it, it's Jezal Slack!"

"I'm afraid he has tampered with Heart of Kareks. The consciousness of Destructive Divine Power and Abyss has even affected my mind!"

Keosius thought with some palpitations.

The violent desire for destruction in his eyes gradually disappeared.

Recalling what he had experienced these days, he had acted recklessly and arbitrarily, and had become a beast dominated by desire. He even had the absurd idea of "slaughtering the world."

Almost, almost, he would become the incarnation of destruction, and even become Kareks's substitute and an extension of Abyss's consciousness.

By that time, he will definitely become Enemy of the Gods, the kind of thing that loses its own will, which is something he never wants to see.

And he could truly feel that this terrible influence was still continuing, and it would take over his mind at any opportunity and turn him into a chaotic destroyer.

Those violent bloodshot threads were still hidden under his skin, and those Chaos Fire were still hidden in his body, eating away at his sanity, waiting for a certain opportunity to surface on the surface of his body, bringing him the deepest chaos.

He may need to find some way.

To solve this problem, or rather... curse.

Yes, curse. In Keosius's opinion, this is simply a curse similar to Dragon Frenzy Mythal, which can affect his mind without any awareness, and this process is even difficult to interrupt.

Now, this curse has not yet been lifted and may invade Keosius's mind at any time, but now he can at least take the initiative to curb it and seek a solution instead of becoming a beast dominated by desire.

Thinking of this, he took a deep look at Olivia.

"Thank you."

"I will reduce the ban on Dragon Binding Array."

"You can move around freely in this palace from now on."

Finally, under the horrified gaze of Olivia, Keosius waved his huge wings and turned around to leave the palace.

Everyone's complaints are quite reasonable, but Silver Dragon is mainly an introduction, so that the protagonist realizes that he is cursed, and then develops the subsequent plot... Maybe I am taking it for granted. If you have any ideas for modification, you can say it in the comment area or in the group, and I will consider it as appropriate.
