The Last Incubus with The Vice and Valor System Chapter 21: Asking The System

Leon's mind spiraled deeper. 'If her ice affinity is so powerful that it rges with her very being, it's not just an elent she controls—it's part of who she is. And if she can't control it, it ans there's sothing more profound and possibly darker at play here. What kind of past or threat is linked to this power?'

As he processed all this, his anger towards the Viscount intensified. 'How could he let Alia face such a dangerous path without proper guidance or knowledge? She's been left to fend for herself against an uncontrollable force within her. This isn't just about elental affinity—it's about her safety, her future, her very life.'

But Leon knew anger wouldn't solve anything right now. He needed answers and he needed them fast. 'I have to get the Viscount to explain everything. There's no ti for subtlety or decorum. Alia's life is at stake, and I won't let her suffer because of soone else's secrets and mistakes.'

As he looked back at the Viscount and his butler, Leon's resolve hardened. 'I need to know everything about Alia's condition and how to help her. If the Viscount knows sothing, he must share it now. There's no room for pride or hesitation. For Alia's sake, I have to be relentless and unforgiving in getting the truth.'

Leon took a deep breath, ready to demand the answers he needed. 'No matter what it takes, I will protect Alia and uncover the truth. This is my promise to her, and I won't let anyone stand in the way.'

Leon wanted to ask, but with the urgency of the situation, he might worsen things further by asking questions.

anwhile, The Viscount's eyes, wide with panic, locked onto Leon's. "Where is she?" he demanded, his voice urgent.

"In her chambers," Leon replied, his voice steady despite the turmoil inside him. "The ice essence is out of control. It's creating a blizzard, and she's struggling to contain it."

The Viscount turned to his butler, his expression hardening. "Prepare the array stones. We need to make sure things don't get out of control."

The butler nodded, hurrying out of the room to make the necessary arrangents. The Viscount then focused on Leon, his face a mixture of worry and determination. "Tell exactly what happened. How did it start?"

Leon quickly recounted the events, from the mont Alia's ice essence began to surge uncontrollably to the increasing intensity of the blizzard forming around her. The Viscount listened intently, his face growing grimr with each detail.

"I can't believe it will co to this, after the raging frost during her birth, I prepared for this, but I hoped never to use the array stones, I sent her to the Glacial Frost Lotus Sect for this reason because it's much safer for her here than here, but now, it has co to this, if this continues, things might turn out really bad" the viscount said in sober after absorbing the information.

anwhile, Leon rembered sothing Jake had once told him about a book where the system helped the main character, Sung Jin-Woo, cure his mother's illness. He clung to the hope that his system could do the sa for Alia.

'System, do you have the capability of curing Alia of this...illness, whatever it is?' Leon asked silently, desperation tinging his thoughts.

The system responded promptly. [Firstly, Leon, Alia is not ill. This is who she is. If this were so kind of illness or whatever you think it is, then a simple healing potion would cure it. But this problem is originating from her physique, the very part of her being that I hinted at earlier.]

'Her Physique?' Leon asked, his brows furrowed.

[Yes, her Physique. Alia has the Frost Heart Physique, a yin and frost-related physique that has two stages. The first stage is called the Immunity Stage and the second stage is called the Ice Sovereign Stage. Alia is currently at the second stage.]

'These stages... can you explain them? I'm not understanding a single thing,' Leon asked as he and the Viscount sprinted towards Alia's chambers.

[The first stage is simple. At this stage, her heart is that of frost, and it grants her many powers that are hard to notice.

Frost Immunity: At this stage, Alia is immune to cold and frost-based attacks or environnts, able to survive and thrive in extrely cold conditions that would be lethal to others.

Emotional Numbing: Besides being unable to fall in love, Alia finds it difficult to experience or express strong emotions. This could make her seem aloof, distant, or even unfeeling to others. You were able to break through this barrier.

Your charm aura made it easier for her to express emotions, and your words during your intimate mont triggered sothing deep inside her, causing her to truly fall for you. This is when she broke into the second and most powerful stage of her Physique.

Cold-Blooded Healing: Her wounds heal faster in cold environnts, utilizing the Yin essence in the air and the frost essence. The cold itself seems to knit her wounds together and numb the pain. Additionally, her skin becos tougher, at least tougher than those in the sa realm of cultivation as her.

To advance her physique, she must break her Frost Heart to achieve ice elent manipulation. There are two ways to achieve the breakthrough needed. The first way is to get triggered emotionally, which ans either falling in love or experiencing a heart-shaking emotional heartbreak. The second way to break the Frost Heart is to go through a life-and-death situation.

However, after the breakthrough, her already high yin and frost essence accumulate and grow even higher, causing the manipulation granted by her Physique to go wild.]
