Chapter 658: Chapter 284: Warm Everyday Life with the Witches (Part 2)

In the next moment, she embraced Lord Duke and softly said, “Thank you.”

David’s heart stirred, and he directly lifted Annie into his arms.

Now that Annie had broken through to the Fourth Ring, she could help him elevate the Spirit Contract Mark to the Fifth Ring as well.

Moreover, he wanted to explore more possibilities about the Path of the Divine through deeper communication with Annie.

They chose to train with Annie in the serene garden behind the castle. Sunlight fell between the flowers and green grass, a gentle breeze brushing by, bringing with it a fresh fragrance.

The two exchanged smiles, each feeling an invisible yet firm connection.

They started with simple poses to warm up, relaxing their bodies through deep breathing and stretching. Slowly, they entered a meditative state, fully immersing their minds in the present moment.

After warming up, they began to attempt the first couple pose— the “Double Tree Pose.”

Annie stood up, raised one leg, and placed it on the inner thigh of the other leg, extending her arms to face David.

David stood steadily, raising one hand high to meet Annie’s.

Gazing into each other’s eyes, they felt a strong and warm energy flowing between them at this moment.

David could feel his body sway gently with Annie’s movements, but this instability only brought them closer together.

As they gradually found balance, their bodies seemed to merge into one.

In this graceful, fluid, and powerful pose, they experienced a strange and profound resonance.

Next, they challenged themselves with a more complex move— the “Dance of Rotation.”

This pose required them to rotate simultaneously, maintaining stability even as their center of gravity shifted.

Annie extended her arms gracefully like wings, while David gently held one of her hands, and they slowly began to spin.

She could feel a power emerging from within her, conveyed through the movement.

David responded with warm actions.

In that instant, their rapport seemed to transcend space and time, making everything around them blur, leaving only the close connection of their consciousnesses.

Continuing their practice, they gradually entered a more mysterious state, a synchronous experience beyond verbal communication.

In this process, they both clearly felt the support from each other’s Spiritual Power, making every movement natural and fluid, as flawless as a dance with a partner.

Finally, when they completed their last cultivation session, they sat back on the grass, facing each other, breathing heavily yet showing satisfied and joyful smiles.

It was not only physical exercise but also an important bridge of communication between their souls.

Sunlight through the leaves painted dappled shadows around them, with budding shoots indicating the infinite possibilities of the future.

David could feel the Spirit Contract Mark in his Spiritual World growing stronger, believing that with Annie’s help, it wouldn’t be long before he successfully broke through to the Fifth Ring.

…

Time passed little by little.

After obtaining enough resources, David practiced with the witches.

Although the war between the Wizard World and Hell World outside was not over, he managed to find peace.

In this rare peaceful time, David lived in the castle with Annie, Liya, Amy, Cynthia, and Reina, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

Though the war raged outside, inside the castle, it was a different scene, like a sanctuary independent of the world.

Every morning, sunlight poured into the spacious and bright hall through the windows, and the witches would gather early for their morning exercises.

Under David’s guidance, they practiced meditation and Spiritual Power control, filling the room with a faint fragrance, from aromatic oils mixed with fresh herbs.

Liya always smiled as she guided everyone into the state, while Fire Dance and Shuili, the twin maidens, prepared breakfast, using their expert culinary magic to make delicious food.

“Breakfast is ready!” Fire Dance called excitedly.

She served a plate of salad, a pot of steaming wheat porridge, and a basket of freshly baked bread.

Cynthia, with her petite and magical hands, playfully made the food fly to everyone’s spot.

“This way, it can be prepared faster!”

Cynthia grinned mischievously, her big eyes sparkling with innocence and playfulness.

Everyone sat around the table, enjoying the hearty meal.

Sometimes they chatted, sometimes they shared their latest newly acquired knowledge and experiences.

Amy always enthusiastically talked about the new spells she discovered in ancient scrolls, while Sura focused more on using these spells to help those affected by war.

“Even though we reside in this peaceful castle, we can’t ignore our responsibilities outside,” David pondered.

Afternoons were their time for joint study and practice.

David led the witches in simple, efficient methods, teaching not only magical skills but also understanding the essence of life and the use of power.

In the evenings, they often gathered around the fireplace, sipping sweet hot drinks, and sharing the day’s interesting stories.

Sometimes, they would sit together and weave wreaths, using various herbs and flowers as materials.

In these warm, relaxed, and enjoyable times, everyone could open up, speaking freely.

In this small circle, there were no status differences or hostilities, just an intimate and great joy of being together.

In these moments, they even forgot the turmoil outside, focusing only on this small but love-filled world before them.

Over time, this life gradually became a cherished part of each girl’s innermost heart.

Even though the war still loomed like a shadow, the deep bonds between David and the witches allowed them to support each other, facing unknown future challenges together.

At night, under the starry sky, David would take the witches into the room for cultivation, helping them quickly enhance their strength, the castle bustling with music and laughter every night.

After this period of constant cultivation.

David finally elevated the Spirit Contract Mark to the Fifth Ring with Annie’s help.

The powerful Wizard Talent of Spiritual Power also enhanced his Spiritual Power once again, successfully breaking through to the Peak of Four Rings.

The Spirit Contract Talent at the Fifth Ring also strengthened his connection with the contracted creatures, allowing them to directly become his avatars.

Therefore, even though he was in the castle making merry with the witches every night, secretly relying on the Spirit Contract, he controlled those wizards, and secretly accomplished many things.

One night, while he was practicing the Spirit Contract, David unexpectedly sensed a familiar and dark aura.

It was a twisted and intense energy fluctuation, quietly tearing through space, causing his expression to grow solemn.

He closed his eyes, using Spiritual Power to delve into the source of this force.

As his awareness deepened, he discovered a place shrouded in darkness, seemingly harboring some sinister scheme.

“Black Mages…” David thought to himself.

Black Mages were like the parasites of the Wizard World, impossible to eradicate completely.

And with the invasion of Hell World, it allowed these Black Mages to muddy the waters in the chaos.

Fortunately, he was prepared.

Previously, he had contracted many Black Mages through Spirit Contracts.

Now, these Black Mages were embedded within the Black Mage Organization, providing him with intelligence.

Subsequently, he directly used the power of the Spirit Contract to take over this Black Mage’s body, starting a more in-depth investigation of that dark energy.

Upon investigation, he discovered that this energy was being manipulated by those Black Mages, who were plotting an evil summoning ritual, attempting to open a path to Hell through sacrifice.
