The White Elf Queen gently brushed the holy light with her fingertips, a tender smile blooming on her face as her gaze shifted to the bound Dark Elf Queen. Her voice was soft as she asked the question.
The flickering holy radiance made the Dark Elf Queen's pupils tremble violently!
Such resplendent, dazzling holy light—How could it possibly be shrouded by darkness?
"Let me go at once, you bastard!"She shouted furiously at Kurose Akira, the flames of rage in her eyes seeming ready to burn everything to ash. Her skin, once as white as snow, was now tinged with a faint crimson from sheer anger.
Faced with the Dark Elf Queen's furious rebuke, Akira merely gave her an indifferent glance before turning his eyes toward the White Elf Queen.
He felt a trace of surprise.
The White Elf Queen was revealing a side completely different from the other two Elf Queens.
She seemed to care deeply about certain things—far more attentively than the others.
"Your struggle is meaningless, my other 'self'~"
The White Elf Queen's fingertips gently slid across the Dark Elf Queen's snow-white skin. That pure, flawless jade-like body was enough to stir even her own heart.
So… my body is this captivating~
Such a perfect, immaculate form—If it were purified by holy light…
The White Elf Queen glanced lightly at the holy radiance. She subtly compared it with her fingers, gaining a deeper appreciation of the light's brilliance.
Though she wasn't certain whether the Dark Elf Queen could endure the purification of holy light, this was a dream world created by the World Tree. Even death could be reset here, so there was no need to worry about the Dark Elf Queen breaking.
"Come now~"
Smiling, the White Elf Queen gently cradled the holy light and extended an invitation.
"Let's see~ whether the Elf Queen who once ruled the world as its mother~ can withstand the temptation of falling beneath holy light?"
"You—!"
"Stop this!"
"Idiot! Our souls are connected! Once—"The Dark Elf Queen shouted coldly at the White Elf Queen.
But the White Elf Queen didn't seem to care in the slightest. She merely smiled it off.
"Is that so? But I'm not afraid~"
Hearing her reply, Akira couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Because he was currently restraining the Dark Elf Queen's body, he couldn't act himself. All he could do was watch as the White Elf Queen conducted the ritual of purifying wicked thoughts with holy light.
His holy light—Was entirely in the White Elf Queen's hands now!
"You! Idiot! Moron! Fool!"
As the sacred radiance gradually drew closer, the Dark Elf Queen struggled with all her might—yet it was utterly futile.
She could only watch helplessly as the White Elf Queen acted recklessly, allowing that dazzling holy light to slowly sink into—
"Eeek!"
"I… I will… never… forgive… you…!"
(What follows is a depiction of the purification of the Elf Queen's wicked thoughts. The next one million words are omitted…)
…
Meanwhile, in Akira's bedroom.
Marei Lein jolted awake from her sleep. Her draconic pupils shifted as she looked toward the still-slumbering Akira beside her.
She had awakened because she sensed a trace of intense heat.
When Marei Lein saw Akira's condition in his sleep, fury instantly flared within her.
That holy light—Blazing, radiant, like a scorching sun—so bright it was impossible to look at directly!
"What kind of dream is this guy even having, to react like that?!"
Marei Lein complained irritably. The dazzling glow was even interfering with her sleep.
To keep sleeping, she tried to block the holy light with a pillow.
But the moment she placed it there—
"It's burning!!!"
…
After who knew how long, the baptism of holy light finally ended, and a prompt popped up in Akira's vision.
[Corruption] progress: 100%![Corruption] trait has evolved into [Fallen]!
[Fallen]: This unit will obey your commands one hundred percent (physical resistance may occur, but the mind is absolutely submissive). You may order this unit to do anything.
"!"
Seeing the description of the [Fallen] trait, Akira's eyes flashed sharply.
This effect was far stronger than [Charm].
While [Charm] allowed Marei Lein to obey his commands and work for him, its scope was extremely limited. Riding on her back was already the absolute limit—if he crossed the line, Marei Lein would likely incinerate him on the spot.
But [Fallen] was different.
It made the Dark Elf Queen completely obedient to his commands—and unlike [Charm]:
One involved inner resistance but bodily obedience.The other involved bodily resistance—but absolute submission of the mind!
"You… you two—ugh~!"
At this moment, the Dark Elf Queen lay collapsed within the holy light, her eyes rolled back as she temporarily lost consciousness.
Seeing this result, the White Elf Queen wore a satisfied smile.
She praised Akira warmly,"You did very well~"
"..."Faced with her praise, Akira fell silent and rubbed the bridge of his nose.
He hadn't expected the White Elf Queen to have such a hobby—Enjoying watching another "herself" descend into the abyss of corruption.
"Alright~ let's stop here for today~"The White Elf Queen said softly."If we go too far~ she might notice."
She extended her slender jade hand, a strand of brilliant magic blooming at her fingertips, gently wrapping around the unconscious Dark Elf Queen on the ground.
Then, in a flash of white light, the Dark Elf Queen's disheveled figure vanished without a trace.
Her words also made Akira realize something—
This wasn't truly the original Elf Queen's intention.
In fact, the real Elf Queen didn't even know what her two soul avatars were doing at all!
Still—
The result was good.
The wicked thoughts had been effectively purified!
The White Elf Queen walked lightly toward Akira, lifted his chin gently with her slender fingers, and smiled.
"You've worked hard this time~ This is your reward~"
As her words fell, the Elf Queen pressed a soft kiss to Akira's cheek. The gentle touch sent ripples through his heart.
At the same time, a message flashed before his eyes.
[You have obtained a strand of elemental magic power from the Elf Queen.][Elf Queen's Elemental Magic Power: Increases the power of your next three elemental spells by 500%.]
"?!"
Seeing the blessing granted by the Elf Queen, shock flickered through Akira's eyes.
Five hundred percent elemental magic amplification!
With such a terrifying boost, if used properly, even his spells could threaten high-level enemies!
Now, he only lacked a super-tier elemental magic skill book.
The golden Holy Light Codex Lucia had given him only contained sacred-attribute spells—but sacred attributes didn't count as elemental magic, so they couldn't benefit from this amplification.
As for elven magic?
Only elves could use it—he couldn't learn those spells.
Looks like he'd have to find another way.
"Then~"
After kissing Akira's cheek, the Elf Queen stepped back lightly, lips curving into a gentle smile.
"Little one~ see you tomorrow~"
As her words ended, the dream created by the World Tree began to blur.
Soon after, Akira slowly awoke from his sleep.
The scenes from the dream put him in an excellent mood. The Elf Queen's jade-like body was truly unforgettable…
Hm?
Strange?
Why does it feel like something hurts?
Akira sat up, confused, and looked down at himself…
It felt as though someone had trampled on holy light or something—why does it hurt so much?!
And why does it smell like burnt cotton?
Akira looked to the side and saw scorched bits of cotton scattered across the floor. Several of his pillows were missing.
This bizarre sight instantly made his expression turn serious. He then looked toward Marei Lein, who was still sleeping beside him, his emotions surging.
What exactly happened while he was asleep?
This definitely had something to do with her!
"Wake up!"
