That the silver-haired succubus who followed me around could become a Succubus Queen… This was something I hadn’t known.
“[Give her your love in abundance. Then, she too can become a Succubus Queen, like my Cecilia.]”
Apparently, consistently consuming high-quality vital essence allows a succubus to become a Queen.
How did the Sage give away so much vital essence at his age? Then again, the Sage is always in heat, so surprisingly, it might not have been a problem.
Anyway, I had a heart-to-heart with the Sage after a long time.
The Sage generously offered me expensive alcohol and food. Dishes I hadn’t even seen in this world appeared one after another.
Perhaps because of the Sage’s sincerity, even lending legendary items easily, it was an even more enjoyable time.
“Are you leaving already? It’s only 3 AM.”
“Ah, staying longer would be a nuisance. Sage-nim, please drink in moderation, considering your age.”
“My body is still as vigorous as a man in his twenties.”
Considering the Sage’s libido, it really felt like he wasn’t bluffing. In any case, the drinking party finally broke up at 3 AM.
Kerry waved his hands and refused the Sage’s offer to let him sleep at his house.
“Phew. That old man can really hold his liquor.”
I don’t know how old he is, but with his graying beard, I just couldn’t keep up.
There was a reason why Kerry insisted on sleeping alone.
The luggage he had left at the inn before visiting the magic tower… The Doll Ginseng was inside.
He was worried about it, and he couldn’t wait to show it to the White Witch.
Kerry retrieved his bag from the inn and used the Orb.
As always, the pure white bedroom welcomed him.
“Witch.”
Kerry, slightly tipsy, called out to the White Witch. Seeing the lace curtains drawn around her bed, it seemed she was asleep.
Kerry pulled back the lace curtains of the bed.
He saw the White Witch sleeping, her blankets tangled. Even in her sleep, she’s truly beautiful.
Then, perhaps due to his intoxication, he accidentally nudged the bed with his foot.
“Hmm… Ke…rry? You’re here…”
The White Witch rubbed her eyes as she woke up. What a shame. I was thinking of playing a prank.
“…The smell of alcohol is strong. Have you been drinking?”
“Yes. I had a drink with my brother today.”
“Brother? You have a brother?”
Kerry, drunk, started babbling.
“You see, I’m the bad younger brother who stole his brother’s woman… but Sage-nim treats me… like a real brother… sob… hiccup”
The White Witch shook her head at the sight. Then, she taught Kerry how to dispel the effects of alcohol.
Kerry came to his senses a moment later.
“Oh. There was a method like this. So… the reason Sage-nim didn’t get very drunk, even after drinking so much, was because of this.”
“Of course. Someone of the Sage’s caliber would know how to control their intoxication.”
I felt somewhat betrayed. But it was Kerry’s fault for not knowing. Kerry finally came to his senses.
“More importantly, Witch. Look at this. I obtained something incredibly precious.”
Kerry showed the Doll Ginseng to the White Witch. As soon as he opened the leather pouch, white frost appeared.
It was because of the Doll Ginseng’s coldness.
“This is…”
“It’s something called Doll Ginseng that I obtained in the dungeon.”
The White Witch accepted the Doll Ginseng from Kerry. Her touch was cautious, as if handling a precious treasure. Well, this is a legendary elixir after all!
“Kerry… you’re amazing. You’ve obtained a remarkable opportunity. It’s only the second time I’ve seen such an elixir.”
“Second time?”
“The first time was the elixir I consumed.”
As expected of a legendary Archmage, not only talent but opportunities also come their way. It’s so unfair.
“The overflowing Yin energy is so strong that frost forms… I’ve only seen something like this in books.”
Kerry couldn’t help but feel his shoulders lift. After all, that opportunity was his.
“Want a bite?”
“…The Doll Ginseng is meaningless to me, as I cannot use magic. Besides, dividing it would decrease its effectiveness.”
“I was just being polite.”
“You are truly infuriating.”
“Witch. But how should I consume this? No matter how I look at it, it doesn’t feel like something I should just eat, so I brought it to you.”
“Of course, you can’t just eat it. Well, you could eat it… if you possessed powerful Yang energy to suppress this extreme Yin energy. However, such individuals are rare.”
The White Witch stared intently at the Doll Ginseng, contemplating how best to consume it.
Kerry went behind the pondering White Witch. And stealthily touched her buttocks.
The White Witch turned around, startled.
“D-Don’t do that. I’m in the middle of important thoughts.”
The White Witch glared at Kerry once and then went back to staring intently at the Doll Ginseng. Kerry, wanting to tease her further, gently touched her breast from behind.
“Eek! I said don’t!”
The White Witch jumped up, startled, and hit Kerry’s arm. Of course, it didn’t hurt at all. The trade-off was a complete win.
Grumbling, the White Witch began to explain how to consume the Doll Ginseng without side effects.
“There are two main ways to consume the Doll Ginseng without side effects. By the way, I’ll exclude the method of suppressing it with Yang energy. That’s not usable right now.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“The first method to consume it without side effects is to suppress this extreme Yin energy.”
“How so?”
“By… aging the Doll Ginseng.”
“Aging?”
“That’s right. Sealing the Doll Ginseng together with Yang energy-imbued plants and then aging it. Doing so will allow the Yang energy-imbued plants to neutralize the Doll Ginseng’s Yin energy. Of course, you mustn’t forget to continuously replace the Yang energy-imbued plants.”
It’s quite a bothersome method.
But to gain the 100 years’ worth of mana contained within the Doll Ginseng, he was more than willing to endure that much.
“How long will it take?”
“…”
The White Witch hesitated for a moment before holding up ten fingers.
“10 weeks…?”
That much, he could wait. Absolutely.
But the White Witch shook her head.
“Huh. 10 months… That’s longer than I thought. It seems there’s nothing to be gained in this world without a price.”
The White Witch shook her head again, still holding up ten fingers. Damn it. I hope it’s not what I think it is.
“…”
When Kerry couldn’t continue, the White Witch drove the point home.
“…10 years. It must be sealed with Yang energy plants in a sunny place for 10 years to remove the Doll Ginseng’s potent Yin energy.”
“…”
His hands and feet trembled.
The back of his neck stiffened. That meant he’d have to watch it for 10 years, like making aged kimchi in a kimchi pot.
In 10 years, the hero Lina could save this world twice.
Although he didn’t yet know what danger would befall this world.
He wanted to gain power. Recently, Kerry often felt the need for strength.
But ten years is too much.
Perhaps sensing Kerry’s deep anger, the White Witch began to ramble and make excuses.
“T-This… can’t be helped. The Doll Ginseng is Yin energy concentrated over 100 years. That it can be suppressed in just 10 years is all thanks to my knowledge. Truly. Kerry. Believe me.”
Kerry felt his blood pressure rising for the first time in a while. Seeing this, the White Witch, as if recalling the trauma of his punch, turned pale.
“Ke… Kerry? Calm down. This isn’t my fault. You mustn’t awaken the egalitarian within you. Hold on to your senses tightly… and calm down first.”
Right. Calm down first. He’d only heard one of the two methods.
The other method might suit him.
“The other method… Tell me the remaining method, Witch.”
“…”
For some reason, the Witch couldn’t readily open her mouth. She looked around, as if troubled.
“The remaining method is…”
“The method is?”
“The method is…”
“Hurry up and tell me, Witch. My anger is about to awaken the egalitarian.”
“Eek! You’re… too much. I thought we had become quite close by now, so you wouldn’t do this!”
“That’s how angry I am. Why are you dragging it out?”
“…”
The Witch sighed deeply and spoke.
“The last method is… to have a… wo… woman to share the Yin energy with.”
“A woman?”
“That’s right. For the Yin energy that enters your body after consuming the Doll Ginseng… to be discharged through a woman. Originally, women are more resistant to Yin energy than men… and with two people sharing the burden of the Yin energy… it’s a possible method…”
“I’d like to hear more details.”
“No! I can’t… say any more.”
“?”
“…Wouldn’t it be better to use the first method? 10 years might seem long… but having lived as long as I have, it’s not such a long time! To begin with, 10 years to obtain that much mana is very short…”
“…”
The White Witch, realizing that Kerry would never accept it even after she said it, spoke with a resigned look.
“In the second method, the way to discharge the Yin energy to a woman is…”
“…sexual intercourse.”
Kerry immediately pounced on the White Witch on the bed.
“Eek! Kerry! S-Stop it!”
“What? We can just do what we usually do. Who would let 10 years go to waste with such a convenient method available?”
“I… I refuse. I won’t allow you to put Yin energy into me.”
Kerry spread the White Witch’s legs.
He lifted her white nightgown-like dress. The white panties underneath were damp.
“Witch. Your panties are wet with arousal fluid!”
“That’s not it! Th-This is… water I spilled while drinking…”
“Who spills water on their panties?”
“…I said I refuse… Hmm!”
Kerry started to gently rub the White Witch’s vagina over her panties. Perhaps because she was already highly aroused, the White Witch’s reaction was favorable.
“Kerry… Even if you… release your Yin energy into me… I won’t accept it! I… I will reject it all. Then, it’s you who will be in trouble. You might even die, unable to handle the Doll Ginseng’s Yin energy.”
“I trust you, Witch!”
“You… trust me?”
“I do!”
Kerry kissed the White Witch while caressing her body. The White Witch turned her head as if to refuse, but it was no use.
Kerry pressed his lips against hers. His fingers searched for her entrance and slipped deep inside.
“Haa… Hmm…”
The White Witch’s body was aroused, but her mind was filled with other thoughts.
‘He… he trusts me? He trusts me, the one called the White Witch…’
Since childhood, even her parents feared the White Witch.
The White Witch was the legendary Archmage with the worst reputation on the continent.
Everyone feared her and gossiped behind her back.
They pointed fingers and called her a wicked and evil witch.
The name “Witch” carried such a meaning.
“Kerry… can you… Hmm… really trust me, the White Witch?”
“Of course!”
Kerry continued to touch the White Witch’s body.
As he untied the strings of her dress, the White Witch’s breasts sprang free. But the White Witch was preoccupied with completely different thoughts.
“If… if I betray you… if I truly don’t accept the Yin energy… you will surely die.”
“…”
“Do you really trust me enough to entrust your life to me?”
Could he trust the White Witch?
It had been a while since he got to know her.
In legends… she was described as a cruel and merciless Archmage, but the White Witch he met in person was different.
Far from cruel, the White Witch was gentle and kind. Her unnecessarily high pride and stubbornness just made her appear otherwise.
To begin with, someone he couldn’t trust wouldn’t ask such a question.
The thought that the White Witch would betray him never crossed his mind.
“I trust you, Witch. From what I’ve seen, you’re not cruel enough to watch someone die.”
“D-Don’t lie! You… You must think I don’t know your true intentions are to coax me into cooperating!”
Kerry held up the Doll Ginseng, as if he were really going to eat it.
“Wait… I haven’t said I’ll cooperate yet!”
“You said it. I trust you, Witch.”
Kerry popped the Doll Ginseng into his mouth. It tasted far more bitter than ginseng.
Or rather, since he’d never tasted ginseng, it tasted like ginseng concentrate amplified a hundredfold.
Kerry chewed and swallowed the Doll Ginseng.
The sound of him gulping reached the White Witch.
The White Witch couldn’t believe it. He really trusted her and swallowed the entire Doll Ginseng.
Even though he would die if she didn’t accept the Yin energy.
‘What a… foolish man…’
The White Witch couldn’t push Kerry away as he approached her, undressing.
