Chapter 188 - 135 Hot Springs, The Rippling Beautiful Witch (10,000 words, additional update 54/65)_3
It was definitely not because of Flandre’s long legs; it was merely the fluctuations emanating from that item that made him feel as though he was facing a volcano, even though he was actually beside a pool.
"The Phoenix Heart!"
Kael couldn’t help but exclaim aloud.
Such grandeur, such a crazy method.
Although the Phoenix was considerably weaker than top-tier dragons like the Red Dragon, it was still more precious than the shame of the Five-Colored Dragons, the White Dragon.
This species mainly resided in the volcanoes of molten lava located in the southern part of another Duchy. They could also be found in certain high-level Dungeons, and compared to the challenge levels of hunting a Phoenix, the Phoenix Heart harvested from its body was much more valuable.
"You have pretty good taste."
Flandre said in a dazed voice, "This Phoenix, it took a joint effort between my teammates and me to kill it. Just getting its heart took a considerable toll."
She reached out her finger to lift Kael’s chin and leaned in with her face, suddenly revealing a mischievous smile:
"But who can blame you for being so handsome, little brother Kael? Using the Phoenix Heart as a ritual material won’t just completely activate the Lion Heart power within you; it might even grant you a special talent!"
As she spoke, she gently pushed with her hand, plunging Kael into the pool. The billowing mist made her figure seem to appear and disappear intermittently, and Kael, momentarily unable to see clearly, only felt a scorching stream of heat being released into his body from beneath the pool.
Iron Chains stretched out from the void, tugging at his limbs. A sapphire blue light barrier lit up, trapping him in the middle.
Kael looked at Flandre’s somewhat elusive laughter through the mist with a complicated expression, feeling that she really had a seductive allure. Fortunately, his willpower was strong, and he suppressed that feeling.
What sort of chaotic ritual was this, with chains no less...?
Kael eyed the Iron Chains that bound his limbs, seriously doubting that there could be a slightly indecent element to the arrangements of this ritual.
After all, even key phrases like "hot spring," "chains," "scorching," and "pain," all suggested as much.
Making Kael act seriously was a tough feat indeed! Your journey continues at empire
He tried to push aside the thoughts in his mind, or rather, he no longer had many thoughts left to bother with those distracting fantasies.
Trapped within the sapphire light barrier in the pool, he watched the Phoenix Heart suspended midair.
With each pulse of the heart, streaks of dark red gas jumped from the breach in the heart, drawn to the perimeter of the light barrier, then channeled through the chains into Kael’s limbs.
An agonizing pain tore through Kael, making him open his eyes subconsciously.
He let out a muted groan, a sound that intertwined pain and pity, which simultaneously evoked a twisted pleasure in desecrating something beautiful.
Of course, Kael’s voice couldn’t escape.
Outside the light barrier, a maid named Sapphire gently opened Flandre’s loose clothes I am switching her into a bathrobe.
Flandre watched Kael, trapped inside the light barrier; from his perspective, he couldn’t see outside, but Flandre could see everything clearly from her vantage point.
She slowly walked into the pool and gently crouched down. The boiling water made her hum softly as the Phoenix Heart throbbed with even more power, merging into her body.
Yes, the main recipient of the Phoenix Heart’s power this time was her. Although the ritual also served to rapidly cultivate Kael’s Lion Heart power through baptism, it was primarily focused on sanctifying her, the witch.
She watched Kael’s discomfort with a silent gaze, slightly releasing the restrictions on her body to let in more of the Phoenix’s power.
As she absorbed the power faster, the pain the Phoenix’s power caused Kael eased a little.
His body, which was initially hard to absorb power rapidly, felt like it had caught its second wind, transitioning from unbearable pain to a numbing yet comfortable sensation of body enhancement.
The witch chuckled softly, looking at the young man drenched by the spring water, his complexion turning slightly red, and found him to be increasingly amusing and adorable.
Perhaps due to the overstimulation, Kael’s struggle within the light barrier grew fiercer, and the uncontrollable movements of his body unwittingly revealed the state of the Seductive Demon Eye.
Perhaps the pain had lasted too long; Kael’s consciousness began to blur. Driven by the Iron Chains, he leaned against the poolside, with a vacant look in his eyes, gradually losing the strength to struggle. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
There’s always a slight difference between being lucid and being muddled.
When lucid, Kael was like a thorny wild cat with a menacing grimace, attractive enough to make one want to reach out and touch, yet always wary of getting scratched in return.
But after he became confounded, he was in a different state altogether.
Perhaps his blurred consciousness somewhat alleviated his pain, and Flandre was ceaselessly absorbing the Phoenix’s power to relieve the pressure.
Although he was still struggling to swallow the strength, furrowing his brows, after getting used to it, he gradually began to relax.
His golden hair, set loose, clung to the water droplets splashing from the pool. He leaned against the warm walls of the pool, swaying with the rippling water, like a broken doll, staring blankly into space.
