The voice startled Vylyss slightly. She frowned and said, "You are… Shadow?!"
"Huh! Don't you dare taint with that filthy nickna. Call Morgana—rember my na well."
As Morgana finished speaking, she imdiately seized control of Vylyss's body.
"You… you can't do this," Vylyss gritted her teeth, trying to resist—but it was useless.
"Don't fight it. I'm helping you. Let show you a taste of true freedom's power."
Morgana's voice was seductive, laced with a trace of malice and mystery.
The next mont, Vylyss lost consciousness, though her eyes continued to glow with a strange pink light.
"A flawless body…" Not Vylyss anymore—Morgana had fully taken control.
She raised her delicate hand, pale with a soft pink hue, admiring it as if studying a perfect work of art.
"What a pity, this hand has touched n. But you still have a chance to start over."
"This ti, I'll help you get closer to true freedom…"
Morgana stretched out her hand, and from her palm burst countless chains that shot into the boiling pool.
Monts later, the chains pulled a crystal sphere the size of a basketball from the water—inside was a beating heart.
Yes, a heart—strangely disconnected from anybody, with no blood- pulsed rhythmically.
Though its beats were slow, each throb seed to affirm its persistent existence.
Surrounding the heart were countless tiny chains that tightly bound it.
"Huh!" Morgana sneered in disdain. "The Goddess of Night… Who would've thought that a deity once feared by mankind would be reduced to nothing but this tiny heart."
"Hahahaha… But it's fine. I will use your power to avenge you."
"To plunge humanity into suffering and darkness—make them pay for what they've done."
Morgana let out a seductive laugh, her fingers moving gracefully as she commanded one of the chains to pierce the crystal sphere.
BANG!
However, contrary to her expectations, the crystal sphere didn't shatter. Instead, it was her chain that broke into pieces.
"What the hell?!" Morgana growled, her brows furrowing. "Stop resisting! No one else can help you see the light of day without !"
"Just co with , and together we will once again—"
Suddenly, her words were cut short as the crystal sphere emitted a strange black light.
A voice echoed from within the sphere, startling her.
"Too noisy!"
BAM!
A shockwave blasted outward, sending Morgana flying backward. Her body slamd into the wall and then fell to the ground.
But with her current physical strength, sothing like that was hardly more than a nuisance.
What truly alard her was the sensation of being bound—countless chains now restrained her body.
Yes, the very chains she had conjured were now binding her.
"Are you mocking ?" Morgana gritted her teeth. "I was helping you—is this how you repay my salvation?"
"Do I look like I need your foolish salvation?" A different woman's voice rang out. "You're disturbing my slumber."
"Get lost before I lose my temper!"
Seething with rage, Morgana growled, "Do you really intend to sleep in this place for the rest of your life?"
"Yes."
Morgana: "..."
"Are you joking with ? You're just a creation of—"
"I don't care. All I want now is to sleep," the mysterious voice interrupted again. "I won't say it a third ti."
"You…" Morgana was so furious she was panting, her ample chest rising and falling with each breath. "Fine. I hope you won't regret this."
She tried to move, but the chains around her refused to let her act.
"Release !" Morgana shouted.
"Are you stupid?" The mysterious voice returned. "I told you to get lost, not that girl."
"You… Nyris, are you seriously playing gas with ?"
Yawp
Nyris yawned, then said, "You have five seconds."
"Very well… One day, you'll regret this." With those words, Morgana vanished.
No, more precisely, she fled—retreating deep into the soul of Vylyss.
At that mont, Vylyss awakened, her eyes filled with curiosity as she gazed at the crystal sphere floating before her.
Although Morgana had seized control of her body, she had still witnessed everything that had just occurred.
Because of that, she knew exactly whose heart was before her—the heart of the Goddess of Night, Nyris.
"I'm very lazy, so I'll only say this once. Listen carefully, alright?"
Hearing Nyris's tired and languid voice, Vylyss quickly nodded.
"Absorb ," Nyris said. "Then seek out the Goddess of Purity. Ask for her help. That way, you can obtain your desired power—to protect the one you love most."
"If not, then one day… you will beco the danger to that person yourself."
"But…" Vylyss quickly asked, "Where should I go to find the soul of the Goddess of Purity?"
"There's no need to search," Nyris replied. "The wheel of fate will bring you to her. Just hold fast to your faith—do you understand?"
"Uhm! I understand. My love for my Master will never change," Vylyss confidently replied.
"Tsk!" Morgana clicked her tongue. "How sickeningly sentintal, you—"
"Silence!"
Before Morgana could finish, Nyris shouted, and the very sound of it sent a tremor through Morgana's soul.
In the end, Morgana fell silent, not daring to say another word.
Yawp
Nyris yawned again, then spoke wearily, "Alright, absorb . I'll help you imprison Morgana."
"Uhm!" Upon hearing that, Vylyss quickly approached the crystal sphere before her.
BANG!
The sphere exploded, shards scattering in all directions before vanishing into light particles.
Vylyss touched Nyris's heart as gently as she could—but it swiftly transford into a stream of black light that surged into her chest.
At that mont, Vylyss could feel the dark energy within her growing—vastly more substantial than before.
But what was strange was that it didn't greedily seize control of her body, nor did it try to destroy the other two sources of energy.
On the contrary, it simply lay there lazily inside Vylyss, as if it were asleep.
The pink energy trembled slightly in fear, then also quieted down.
Vylyss let out a relieved sigh, then stepped out of the room.
"Master…"
"Hm?!"
Noan had been standing outside the room, anxiously waiting for Vylyss, when he suddenly saw her rushing out and throwing herself into his arms.
"Hehehe… I did it." Vylyss nuzzled into Noan's chest, her voice full of joy. "Master, I did it. Will you reward ?"
As she spoke the word *reward'*, her eyes glowed with a seductive pink light that strangely filled Noan with a sense of comfort.
"Of course, but…"
Noan narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to detect abnormalities within her body.
Suddenly, a system notification appeared in front of him, surprising him.
[Ding! Vylyss has obtained the Heart of the Goddess of Night. Current fusion progress: 1%...]
Seeing the ssage, Noan remained cautious. His eyes, filled with doubt, turned toward Vylyss.
Vylyss pouted, clearly annoyed. "Master, are you doubting ?"
"Well… are you really Vylyss?"
Vylyss leaned in close to Noan and whispered sothing into his ear.
Noan's eyes widened imdiately. He quickly covered her mouth and said, "Enough! Enough! I know you're Vylyss."
"Hehehe… Master, if you want to verify, we can do it right here."
Vylyss licked her lips with a sultry look, clinging tightly to Noan as if she wouldn't let him escape.
Malrik shrugged at that mont and said, "Looks like I shouldn't stick around. Master, enjoy yourself."
"Wait…" Noan was on the verge of tears. "Vylyss, this place isn't suitable. We should…"
"No, Master," Vylyss imdiately cut him off, flashing a seductive smile. "This is our first ti doing it in a cave—it feels so thrilling."
"Besides, this place is quite romantic too. The dim lighting makes it perfect for us to express our love."
"You…" Noan was at a complete loss for words.
In the end, he and Vylyss decided to turn the cave into their bedroom. The sounds of passion echoed throughout the cavern, enough to make anyone who heard them blush.
…
At that mont, Alex was running back through the cave he had entered. Reaching a place he felt was safe, he collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily.
"Goddamn it!" Alex cursed in frustration. "Don't tell my bad luck has co back again?"
That's right—until now, he thought misfortune had finally left him alone and that luck had returned.
But he never imagined that upon entering this cave, before he could even gain anything, he'd nearly be killed by Austin's monstrous black beast.
Still, Alex found it strange. The last ti he saw Austin, Austin's monster had been a Lava Lizard—so why was it now a black High Orc?
"Don't tell he has two D-rank monsters?" Alex muttered angrily.
While he was deep in thought, his back leaned against a stone, which suddenly shifted.
Crack!
"What the hell?!" The strange sound startled Alex.
The massive boulder on the cave wall began to move, revealing a pitch-black passageway.
Seeing this, Alex burst into laughter. "Hahahaha… I knew it! There's no way I could be 'that' unlucky!"
