CHAPTER 445 – CHANCE TO BECOME A MAN AGAIN

“Alicia!” Yaeger exclaimed, rushing over to hold her.

“This isn’t a suitable place for conversation.
Let’s go inside,” Alicia suggested, motioning towards the main hall.

The golden projection and the light spheres had already vanished, leaving no trace of their presence.
It was unclear when they had disappeared.

Yaeger agreed, recognizing the dangers of remaining in this location.
Besides, there was no telling if more assassins from the [Warlock Association] would emerge.
Yunuen and Little Fairy hurried over, their expressions shifting from joy to worry upon seeing Alicia’s condition.

Although the palace had suffered damage, their intended destination remained unscathed.

In the real world, emotions ran wild among the observers, eventually settling down after the tumultuous events.

Nangong and Rakshasa experienced a mix of complex emotions.
They initially cursed Alicia for her actions as a succubus but now worried for her well-being.
It seemed that she had paid a hefty price for taking advantage of [Princess] in a critical moment.

With Yaeger’s assistance, Alicia and the group made their way to a hidden room.
Like the exterior, the room was dimly lit and devoid of any furnishings.
However, there was something on the floor—a teleportation formation.

“This is the teleportation formation our clan uses to travel to that place after completing the trial,” Alicia explained.

‘That place’ referred to the white dimension where the Artifact Soul and key were located.

Yaeger inquired, “I assume not just anyone can activate this formation?”

“That’s correct.
Only the royalty can activate it,” Alicia confirmed.
She then extended her hand, allowing a drop of blood to trickle down her fingertips and onto the formation.
Suddenly, white light flashed, and spatial energy spread everywhere.

“Let’s go,” Alicia said softly, and they walked into the formation, disappearing immediately.

At that moment, a golden projection appeared, with a relieved smile on its face.

Outside the palace, a cute figure clenched her fist in frustration before disappearing.
She had just finished her workout routine in anger.

Back in the white dimension, Yaeger and the others reappeared.

“It’s safe here,” Alicia exhaled lightly, taking out four potions from her ring and handing them to the rest.
“Let’s take a break.”

Yaeger graciously accepted the potion, while Yunuen and Little Fairy hesitated before taking theirs.
They had made no contributions in the previous battle, feeling like mere spectators.

After resting for a while, Yaeger asked, “Alicia, what happened to you just now?”

Alicia pondered for a moment, choosing her words carefully.
“Initially, even after the curse was lifted, I thought it would take a few days for my strength to fully recover.
However, when I was recovering in the light cocoon, a red jewel suddenly entered my body.
I believe that must be the reward you chose.”

Her face flushed slightly as she realized the significance of the situation.
The Inheritance Jewel, the very reward chosen by the “Child of Destiny,” was now in her possession.

Hearing this, Yaeger suddenly remembered the Inheritance Jewel, which she had seemingly forgotten in the chaos of events.

“It’s fine.
It’s an inheritance of your clan anyway.
It’s meaningless to me.
Consider it my gift to you,” Yaeger replied generously.

While it seemed like the jewel had chosen Alicia, Yaeger couldn’t shake the feeling that someone was pulling the strings in secret.
The golden projection appeared suspicious, but it made sense as Alicia had the most potential among the recent generations of the Royal family, deserving the best inheritance.

The underground maze served as a training ground for the royal descendants and a means to select a worthy ruler, granting them the most exceptional inheritance.
Access to the maze was strictly limited to insiders; no outsiders were ever given the opportunity to participate.

During each activation of the maze, royal members would bring in numerous subordinates to enhance their chances of success.
Special restrictions were placed on crucial heirlooms to prevent outsiders from acquiring them and utilizing their power instantly.

“A… Gift…” Alicia’s face flushed, her heart pounding with excitement.
It marked the first time she had received such a significant present, or rather, a precious treasure.
The Inheritance Jewel had the potential to elevate someone to the esteemed status of a Myth-ranked individual.

Ding! Alicia’s Favorability towards you has increased by 5,000.

Ding! Alicia’s Favorability towards you has increased by 5,000.

Ding, Alicia’s Favorability towards you has increased by 10,000.
Your relationship with her is now ???

At that instant, the system’s delayed notifications caught her attention once again.

“What on earth are those three question marks supposed to mean? And why are the notifications constantly delayed, Sister System?” Yaeger exclaimed inwardly, her palm meeting her face in exasperation.

“By the way, Alicia, did you scare Chris away with the power of the Inheritance Jewel?” Yaeger inquired, setting aside her system concerns for the moment.

Alicia nodded, gratitude evident in her eyes.
“Yes, I unleashed the power of the jewel forcefully, causing harm to myself in the process.
Thankfully, it was enough to drive that Great Warlock away.”

If she hadn’t inflicted such serious injuries on Chris, the subsequent events would have been far more dire.

Concerned, Yaeger carefully examined Alicia’s face, noting the improved complexion but still wanting to ensure her well-being.
“Are you alright?” she asked, her voice tinged with worry.

Alicia reassured her, “I’m fine.
The inheritance resonates strongly with me.
With a few days of rest, I’ll recover.
However, I must refrain from using any abilities during this time, as it could severely damage the core of my body.”

“So, it will take more than ten days for you to return to your prime?” Yaeger sought clarification.

Alicia shook her head, a glimmer of anticipation in her eyes.
“No, during my recovery, the inheritance continues to empower me.
I might regain my strength in less than ten days, and perhaps even surpass my previous capabilities.”

“Let’s hope nothing goes wrong in the meantime,” Yaeger whispered to herself, a hint of concern still lingering.
With Yunuen and Little Fairy silently observing the conversation, she decided to attend to a pressing matter.

“Alicia, please keep them company for a while.
I need to attend to something,” Yaeger requested, rising from her seat and making her way towards the key.

As she walked, Yaeger accessed her game interface and checked the leaderboard, taking note of the activated store.
Though she refrained from browsing its contents, her focus shifted to the rules governing its usage.

Realizing she could access the store even outside the dimension, a mischievous smile played on her lips.
Anticipation swelled within her as she considered the possibilities.

“It would be fantastic if I could barter for a tool that dispels my [Dream Transformation],” she mused to herself.
With numerous enemies targeting her female form, returning to her male form seemed advantageous.
And above all, the tool would provide peace of mind, safeguarding her manhood.

Approaching the platform where the key rested upon a silver sphere, Yaeger extended her hand and made contact.
In an instant, a radiant blue light enveloped the area, revealing the appearance of the cute Artifact Soul.
Its expression remained devoid of emotion, resembling a mechanical being.

Yaeger leaned in closer, nearly touching the Artifact Soul’s adorable face, and spoke teasingly, “You’ve been keeping an eye on me, little cutie, haven’t you?”
