The Order base.
It was already in complete chaos.
Alex followed behind C.C., walking out of the base as if taking a leisurely stroll.
Most of the Britannia elites encountered on the road were cut in two by C.C. before they could even see her shadow.
Even if mechas appeared, they were wiped out by a beam of magic power from Alex, unable to launch any effective attacks.
A few dozen minutes later.
C.C. was panting slightly, and her steps were a bit unsteady.
"What, are you tired?"
Alex asked.
"Yeah."
C.C.'s voice was a bit weak.
"That mysterious energy in my body seems to be about to disappear."
Just as she finished speaking, C.C. felt herself fall into a warm embrace.
"That is magic power."
Alex looked at C.C. in his arms, and after sensing it, said, "Your magic power should be almost exhausted."
Although C.C. hadn't learned magic, during the battle, she had already used magic power to amplify her abilities almost instinctively.
"I see." CC realized, "In that case, it seems I won't be able to fight further."
"It's fine, just need some Mana Replenishment."
"Mana Replenishment?" CC blinked, wondering, "How do I do that?"
As soon as the words left her lips, she saw Alex's handsome face drawing closer.
Wait a second? This is Mana Replenishment? Is something not quite right here?
"Mmph..." Thinking this, CC's eyes widened. Her body... felt so hot. Her mana was actually recovering.
Pop! CC's eyelashes fluttered, and her fair skin was already flushed pink.
She breathed heavily, saying, "Master, are you sure Demon Possessed only have this one way of Mana Replenishment?"
"That's not the case, it's just that this method is the most effective." Alex answered righteously.
He wasn't actually lying about that.
"If that's the case, is sticking out your tongue also part of the process?" CC gave Alex a coquettish roll of her eyes.
"That's right, it's to maximize the effect." Alex nodded, "Haven't you noticed that your mana has completely recovered?"
CC: "..." Her master really was thick-skinned.
However, her mana had indeed fully recovered. But... she touched her cheeks. Why... were they so hot?
There was no time to think, as more pursuers had arrived. Without hesitation, she swung her Ice Sabre again. Splurt! Splurt! Splurt! Her figure flashed by like a white meteor, leaving nothing behind but a pile of corpses.
"Could it be a success?" Watching this scene, Alex stroked his chin, lost in thought.
Sometimes, he found the effects he caused quite troublesome. After all, he couldn't perform normal Mana Replenishment for his Dependents.
So, he had done some research, hoping to weaken the effects of his own power. It seemed the results were quite good now.
A few minutes later, the ground was covered in corpses. CC's breathing grew heavy, and she struggled to steady herself with her blade.
"Master, does Mana Replenishment have any other side effects?" Feeling the strangeness in her body, she looked at Alex with moist eyes.
"Uh..." Alex paused, speechless. Well, it seemed it had indeed failed. However, the effect was definitely weaker than before.
"..." CC twitched her eyelid and squeezed a sentence through her teeth: "Master, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
"Well, the Mana Replenishment isn't the problem, it's just that I'm a bit special." Alex rubbed his neck and began to explain.
"Huh?" CC's pupils constricted, and she said in disbelief, "Why didn't you say something like that sooner?"
"Don't worry, it won't have any effect if you don't have good feelings toward me."
"Heh... Hehe..." The corner of CC's mouth twitched. That wasn't the point at all.
However, as for having good feelings... it seemed they really did exist. She couldn't deceive herself about that.
"Try to see if you can resist it; actually, I've already weakened the effect."
"Master, is it really okay for you to say things like that now?" CC said weakly, her gaze hazy, as if mist was rising in her eyes.
"Alright, then there's no helping it." Alex said solemnly, "I'll finish this battle."
The moment he finished speaking, terrifying mana surged forth. "Super Magic Lightning Strike!"
A brilliant Magic Circle appeared beneath Alex's feet, and vast thunder surged toward all directions.
Rumble! Rumble! The terrifying thunder instantly destroyed everything around. Countless Britannia elites and mecha were all reduced to charcoal in an instant.
"Is this... the Master's power?" Watching this scene, CC's heart surged, and deep within her watery, beautiful eyes, a hint of reverence faintly emerged.
Alex casually dispelled the Magic Circle. Then he glanced at his panel. Tsk... There wasn't even a single point of experience.
But come to think of it, that made sense. People in this world weren't weak when relying on their mecha. But on their own... they were just so-so.
"Forget it, better get back to business." Alex took a few steps forward and placed his hands on CC's shoulders.
"Mmph..." CC gritted her teeth slightly. Sweat had soaked her pure white lab coat, clinging to her body and outlining her graceful curves.
The next moment, a flash of light. The figures of Alex and CC had completely vanished. Eternal Space.
When Alex appeared here supporting CC, her body was already trembling violently.
"Where is this?" "A space that belongs solely to me." "Don't worry, there are no outsiders here." Alex explained.
"Mhm." CC completely relaxed, her skin already flushed and hot.
Alex stroked CC's head and said, "Actually, there is still a lot of knowledge about my Dependents that you don't know yet."
"For example, the method to quickly increase your level, I will tell you now..."
Listening to Alex's words, CC was a bit stunned. Compared to the existence of demons, this knowledge... completely shattered her worldview.
"So now, do you want to level up quickly?"
CC suppressed the stirring in her heart, thought carefully for a moment, and then said, "I am willing, Master."
She was very certain. She really did like her Master. As long as she knew that, it was enough.
Hearing this, Alex did not hesitate to take her thin lips. An incomparable sense of oppression immediately descended.
CC only felt as if she had become a drowning person, almost suffocating because of it. Immediately after, she felt the most unfamiliar sensation within her hundreds of years of memories.
"This is the thing I have been pursuing."
Thinking this, an unprecedented emotion completely occupied her brain.
At this moment.
She had no idea who she was, nor did she care where she was.
Now, she only knew that she wanted to comprehend the truth she had sought for hundreds of years.
As for Alex, because he was in the Eternal Space, he didn't need to worry about the presence of others at all.
Currently, his attention was highly focused, intending to help CC break through her level limit as quickly as possible.
"Master, my... my level, it seems it really has increased?"
Having just experienced a battle, CC had already reached her level limit.
And now, with Alex's help, it was simply too easy to break through with the strength of a Middle-Class Devil.
"Yes, and this is just the beginning."
"You will become even stronger."
Feeling the pressure above her, CC breathed heavily and nodded slightly.
"Mhm."
