Capítulo 847: Chapter 771: Magic Conversion Pool
The reason Sera and the others are willing to help Shane is said to be for their own purposes, and since it doesn’t significantly affect themselves, he should comfortably accept it as help. However, help is still help.
Even if they didn’t intend to show favor or win him over, Shane doesn’t feel he can comfortably accept this help.
This is different from the situation in the Inner Sanctum.
At that ti in the Inner Sanctum, Shane had exchanged the credit from defeating the [Slaughterer Faction] for the opportunity to enter, and this matter didn’t cause anyone any loss, so naturally, he accepted it comfortably.
But this ti, the Six Great Demons use their own power to help him improve, so no matter what, Shane acknowledges this favor.
Of course, there’s no need to say this out loud; it’s enough for Shane to understand it himself.
Then, he followed the Demon Sisters and entered the Demon King Mansion.
In appearance, this Demon King Mansion wasn’t very different from the one in Laischa’s possession.
Except for so detailed parts not being too refined, which is likely due to the lack of a competent maid to manage it, the rest of the scene is generally the sa.
However, upon entering the Demon King Mansion, the differences began to appear.
The Demon King Mansion in Laischa’s possession is a mansion where the Demon King himself resides, naturally furnished with all kinds of arrangents, including halls, dining rooms, guest rooms, reception rooms, bathing facilities, and even an open-air balcony for afternoon uses.
But here, upon entering, no decoration or arrangents were visible, only an extrely vast space with a ceiling reaching to the top, a hot spring below, and walls on the sides, looking more like a large bathhouse rather than a luxury mansion.
As Shane walked in, his gaze was imdiately drawn to the steaming hot spring.
The hot spring sowhat resembled the one he used in Elf Country, its water rich in magic power, yet not a Magic Source. A mysterious force operated within, causing magic power to flow back and forth, chanically rotating within.
“This is the Magic Conversion Pool.”
Sera explained.
“It can absorb the magic power released by those entering, transforming it into pure power. Those who co here do so to absorb the magic power released by sacrificers, thereby enhancing their own strength.”
Sera said, giving a glance to Chafne.
Chafne imdiately stepped forward with a cheerful smile.
“What are you up to?”
Shane suddenly grew wary.
The woman’s smile told him sothing was amiss.
“Nothing.” Chafne naturally wouldn’t reveal the problem, saying understandingly, “Just want you to take a nap, that’s all.”
“Nap?” Shane blinked.
But before he could react, an unbearable drowsiness suddenly surged into his mind, making him drowsy.
“You… ambushed …?”
Shane pointed at Chafne in shock, eventually unable to resist the rising sleepiness, as he fell.
Ai Yi instinctively stepped forward, intending to catch Shane.
Among the people present, aside from the carefree Milu and the non-human Lide, she was the only one who wouldn’t mind Shane leaning on her… right?
As this thought flashed through Ai Yi’s mind, a surprising scene occurred.
“Oh dear.”
Chafne nonchalantly reached out her hand, catching Shane and letting him fall into her arms.
“Sister Xiefuni?”
Ai Yi was stunned.
The other demons similarly turned to Chafne.
“What’s the matter?”
Chafne knew why but feigned innocence in her response.
Sera did not speak, simply casting a aningful gaze at her.
“Second sister, you let a man lean on you like this?”
Lide stared at the scene as if discovering a blind spot, her small face full of surprise.
“Not like your style.”
Camina’s remark was straight-forward as usual.
“Hug! Milu wants to hug too!”
Milu hadn’t realized the seriousness of the situation, there whining.
“Well, this guy is special, you know.”
Chafne smiled indifferently.
But as her sisters, the demons naturally wouldn’t be easily fooled.
“…By the way, Sister Xiefuni, you seem pretty close to this guy.”
Ai Yi abruptly said amid the silence.
“Was it during that ti in the Enchanting Demon Territory that sothing happened with this spirit?”
Ai Yi had actually wanted to ask this question earlier.
After all, she could not ignore the unusual sense of closeness between Shane and Chafne.
There wasn’t an opportunity to ask before.
Now, Ai Yi felt she had to take this matter seriously.
Yet while she wanted to be serious, Chafne had a playful deanor.
“Don’t worry, Little Aiyi, I’m not going to steal your partner.”
Chafne spoke teasingly.
Ai Yi remained silent, only staring at her, seemingly trying to see through her heart.
Sera then spoke.
“Pay attention to limits.” Sera said to Chafne, “Regardless, he is Ai Yi’s fiancé.”
Her implication was if Chafne did anything to snatch away love, it wouldn’t be a joke.
Sera, understanding Chafne well, easily saw that she was indulging her playful side and wanted to tease.
Yet this woman, fully aware of her own charm, was indulging her playful side, casually teasing others, and if it went wrong and Shane truly fell for her, thus abandoning Ai Yi, the joke would go too far.
