"If you don’t wake up soon, I’m going to run away immediately."
Seeing this, Lynn sighed and sat back upright.
"Your beautiful and charming sister is very interested in me now."
"Dear Imperial Princess, you wouldn’t want your little puppy to become someone else’s, right?" Google seaʀᴄh novel fire.net
Even though Lynn had completely cut off his connection with the outside world in the past few days, he could easily guess that the Great Imperial Princess Hillena must be desperately trying to contact him.
Lynn tried every method he could think of to wake Ivyst, but none succeeded in the end.
What tightened his heart even more was the rate at which the black demon pattern was spreading over Ivyst’s originally fair skin. Initially, there were only a few faint lines on her wrist, but within days, they climbed up her arm and entwined around her neck, leaving some ghastly marks on her pale cheeks.
The demon pattern emitted a faint dark light, as if greedily devouring her remaining vitality.
With each passing day, Lynn became more silent. Initially, he would try to talk to Ivyst to see if he could wake her.
By the fifth day, Lynn sprang up from his chair, his bloodshot eyes filled not only with anxiety but also with a touch of reckless madness!
He felt he could no longer wait .
So, he pulled out the parchment, intending to contact Miss Witch from ten thousand years in the future.
Since the battle at the Divine Moon Gap, he hadn’t had the opportunity to contact her, nor did he know how Miss Witch was doing now.
However, after trying, there was still no response from Miss Witch. The content he wrote on the parchment received no reply.
This left Lynn completely silent.
The last straw he saw as hope couldn’t get a response either.
Yet he still refused to give up, locking himself in Ivyst’s room.
Until, after five full days, Lynn finally opened the door amid everyone’s hopeful gazes.
But seeing his current state, the initial joy instantly dissipated and turned into deep worry, as if everyone had a thousand-pound stone in their hearts.
Although they didn’t go five days without eating and drinking like Lynn, it wasn’t much better. During these five days, everyone’s sleep was minimal, making their complexions unsightly, looking quite haggard.
But compared to Lynn, it seemed insignificant.
Lynn’s originally neat hair appeared messy, and he looked like he’d lost his soul.
No one dared to ask him questions.
And Lynn didn’t bother with any pleasantries, directly passing Morris and Glaya, as well as his sister, and went straight to Lady Milani.
"Milani, find me some things."
Lynn said weakly, possibly because his body was extremely weakened, so his speech sounded feeble.
"Alright, tell me, what do you need?"
Milani looked at his haggard face, unable to help but sigh inwardly.
"The ashes of Deep Sea Giant Whale, Moon White Crystal Ore, Blood-red Stone, Dark Night Breath Essence, scales of Abyssal Snake..."
Lynn listed dozens of materials in one breath.
Milani quickly took out her pen to record each one, but as she noted them, she felt these materials were familiar.
Suddenly she recalled that Lynn had asked her for them once before.
Although Lynn hadn’t specifically said what these materials were for, Milani quickly guessed that they were likely to be used to wake Ivyst, so she didn’t hesitate to take out all these precious materials and handed them to Lynn.
After obtaining the things he desired, Lynn just said thank you, then without looking back, walked towards Ivyst’s room.
Everyone’s gaze fell on his back, feeling uneasy, yet unanimously sparked a glimmer of hope.
Because they suddenly remembered, Lynn was incredibly capable of creating miracles.
Perhaps this time a miracle would occur too.
Back in the room, Lynn immediately started the ritual.
He didn’t even wait until dusk.
Normally, at dusk, is the time when the Doomsday Witch’s power is at its peak each day.
Conducting the ritual at this time offers the highest chance of success.
But Lynn couldn’t wait any longer.
Having experience from the first time, he was much more composed during this ritual. Following the steps from his memory, he first took out a vial containing gray-white powder, poured its contents into his hand, letting the powder flow gently through his fingers onto the ground, forming a chaotic pattern, seemingly countless sharp, bloody thorns converging to surround a vivid heart.
This was the framework for the communication ritual’s array, surrounded by twelve blank nodes.
Lynn then placed each substance from the bottles and jars Milani had given him into position according to a certain sequence.
These were Ivyst’s preferred sacrificial materials from the original work.
Soon, Lynn had almost completed the ritual preparations, only two steps remained.
He slowly stood up, walked to the bed, gazed at the sleeping Ivyst, and murmured:
"You refused to wake up yourself, so I can only take it myself."
He then bent down and fumbled around Ivyst, finally removing a white lace bra and placing it in the crystal box.
