After finishing the preparation of the four potions and pouring them into glass cups, Altair closed her eyes again, using meditation to stabilize the tremors deep within her heart caused by the advancement.
Once her emotions had completely calmed down, Altair picked up the neatly arranged potions beside her. Holding them to her mouth, she tilted her head back and drained a cup in one go. She repeated this action four times in total.
As the four potions with different tastes and effects entered her stomach, Altair immediately entered a meditative state.
Through her spirituality, she began to communicate with the "Castle" deep within her consciousness; she prepared to enter the Spirit World Castle to complete her final transformation.
As the communication was completed, just as she "landed" in the Spirit World, her body and spirit immediately felt the influence carried by the potions themselves.
Under the influence of some unknown potion, Altair felt as if her entire being was warm and cozy, as if she had returned to sleeping in a warm bed in winter, or as if she were reminiscing about every little moment spent with Vivian—
Comfort, pleasure, satisfaction—all sorts of complex emotions gradually spread throughout Altair's body, stimulating her senses and spirit, producing an incredibly tangled sense of pleasure.
When this sensation ended, countless pieces of occult knowledge constantly bored into Altair's mind, as if forcibly engraving and infecting her cognition, altering it.
It made her suddenly understand what certain materials she had never seen before were called, what effects they had, and what kind of medicines, perfumes, and machinery could be crafted with them—
An unknown amount of time passed. As the flow of knowledge transmission gradually slowed down, Altair's consciousness finally returned, and she regained control over her body.
After adapting to her new body, Altair once again communicated with the "Castle." She intended to strike while the iron was hot and thoroughly complete the final "fusion."
Just as this thought fell, Black Flame began to emerge from the inside out all over her body, gradually burning.
As the flames burned, Altair curiously observed the changes in herself. She saw her originally fair skin gradually turn red, and sweat along with multicolored substances were expelled from various parts of her body.
Upon appearing, the sweat was vaporized by the Black Flame, while the multicolored substances slid down her graceful and charming body to the ground.
Some substances, after hitting the ground, gradually aggregated together to form: a horn-like object shimmering with seven colors—
A bamboo-jointed thing emitting light—a pale blue, crystal-clear heart, and a deep blue gemstone shaped like a vertical eye.
Other substances showed no signs of re-aggregating; they were like discarded dregs, small and scattered all around.
Once the Black Flame had completely subsided with no sign of recurring, Altair used her Frost Ability to create a temporary half-length mirror for herself to re-examine her appearance.
Looking in the mirror at her exquisite and seductive body, which had changed once again due to the potions, Altair couldn't help but think, "Now she is like a rose in full bloom; anyone who sees her won't be able to resist the temptation to pluck, play with, and possess her. But please do not forget, roses have thorns."
"And what Altair wants to see most now is the sight of the world being bewitched by her into rivers of blood and brothers turning against each other; that would surely be a lot of fun."
Thinking about it, Altair covered her mouth with both hands and chuckled.
But at this moment, even if an outsider were present, they would not criticize her for being unrefined. Because now, every frown or smile of hers was soul-stirring; people would only admire her smile, understand her, and obey her.
After advancing to sequence six, Demoness of Pleasure, besides her previous abilities being strengthened, the abilities Altair gained from this advancement could also be considered perfectly fused.
Now, she could not only rely on her more beautiful and charm-adept body to bring incomparable pleasure to the opposite or same sex, but she also perfectly fused the abilities of a Hypnotist and a Beast Tamer. She could use verbal guidance and hypnosis to let "others" complete their pleasure independently, gradually immersing themselves until they were unable to extricate themselves, slowly losing their sense of self and becoming Altair's private pets.
As for the spider silk ability of the Demoness of Pleasure, it didn't receive much of a boost; the normal invisible threads could be used to restrict enemies and were equally afraid of fire.
Black Flame, frost, curses, and Mirror Magic could now be combined and used unconditionally, such as: using a mirror to lock onto a target to apply a curse, or using a mirror substitute to defend against fatal damage.
Altair believed the most useful things were those pieces of knowledge. With the knowledge of a Potions Professor and an Artisan, she thought of an Acting method for the Demoness of Pleasure and the Demoness of Afflictions. Even for the sequence four Demoness of Despair, she could try this Acting method.
After an unknown amount of time, Altair returned to the real world stark naked. She casually picked up the pajamas she had prepared beforehand and put them on simply.
Although the Black Flame didn't harm even a single hair on Altair's body in the end, her clothes had been burned to nothing.
If she hadn't had a premonition last night, Altair would have had no choice but to call the maid at the door to bring her clothes.
After finishing her simple dressing, Altair pushed open the laboratory door, and an intoxicating fragrance wafted out with her movements.
Eileen, who was waiting at the door, looked up and saw Altair. Her small face couldn't help but start to blush slightly, and her expression dazed for a few seconds. Coming to her senses, she shook her head repeatedly and reported: "Count Altair, no one has come to disturb you since you went in."
As she spoke, she seemed to think of something else, so she lowered her head and said humbly, "Congratulations, Master, on your successful advancement once again—"
"Prepare hot water and fresh flower petals for me; I want to bathe," Altair said as she walked forward slowly.
After saying this, Altair happened to walk right up to the maid. Before the maid could react, she used her hand to lift the maid Eileen's chin, tilting it side to side as she observed her.
Seeing that slender and fair swan-like neck, Altair revealed a satisfied smile. Leaning her body slightly forward, she whispered in the maid's ear: "And my food; I want it fresh this time. You should know what I need."
After speaking, Altair left the laboratory entrance with a swaying gait.
Perhaps she hadn't even noticed it herself, but since taking the sequence six potion, her thoughts and way of Acting had undergone a massive change.
It's possible that in her "current" cognition, this is just how she should ac
