Mage Manual-Chapter 1454 - 1060: Sharing the Same Pillow

"The Spiritual Light of the Four Pillars..."

Dedarose murmured, "There actually exists a Holy Object of the Gods of Four Pillars in reality... Observer, can I touch it? Just a little bit."

Under the starry sky, the first beauty revealed a girlish innocence, feeling anxious unlike someone who leads the Four Pillars God Sect.

Ash didn’t mind and tossed the cube over. Dedarose caught it clumsily and held it in her hands, savoring the majesty of the Gods of Four Pillars. After a dozen seconds, she contentedly returned it to Ash.

"Observer," Dedarose said joyfully, "If you want to hold any party... I’d be willing to join."

"No, no, no, I don’t want to." Ash shook his head repeatedly, "I received this gift, ’The Gate of Miniature Four Pillars’, which lets others who come into physical contact with me enter the Void Realm with me."

Sonia’s eyes lit up, and the others realized its strategic importance.

"I initially could connect with you through the Mage’s Handbook, but now it’s ineffective, and I can’t take you into Level Six of Hell. So, I want to test if this artifact can bring you in," Ash explained. "After all, this trip to Hell indeed involves risks. The enemy Death Mad’s intentions are unclear, and I’m not used to solo combat... I hope someone can fight alongside me."

"But doing so is extremely risky because I might return to reality, but the companions with me may not. Moreover, if we encounter danger, we indeed face life-threatening risks."

The Sword Maiden’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. Regardless of whether Hell was truly dangerous, Ash dared not emphasize it this much. It sounded like a prelude to an irrational event about to unfold...

"So, I want to take one person in first to test the waters."

Ash lifted his head and extended his hand toward the maid.

"Vishi," he said calmly, "Entrust your life to me."

Everyone looked at the Demon Maid standing aside. Vishi’s face showed no surprise as she tilted her head, pondered for a while, then walked over to sit on the bed’s edge. The lace skirt edge spread over the sheets, and her thighs, slightly compressed by silk stockings, created captivating curves.

She gazed at Ash, tightly holding his hand with a confident, proud smile.

"As you command, my Master."

The others said nothing, knowing Ash had emphasized Hell’s dangers and decided not to take the Sword Maiden and others along. Sonia bit her lip, Diya didn’t hide her displeasure, and Weiser wanted to say something but remained silent.

Opening "Aurora’s Mage Manual" - "Void Realm Exploration," Ash saw the "Level Six of Hell" option light up again, with a fully charged energy bar named ’Remembrance’ beside it. Previously, Ash obtained traces of Igula from the Librance Technique Spirit, which barely charged the bar. Now, Harvey’s clues had filled it completely.

If Igula and Harvey were dogs, Harvey’s territorial marking ability was much stronger than Igula’s.

But this also meant Ash could explore Hell for a longer time. This time, he was determined to uncover all truths from Death Mad.

The selectable personnel were still Death Mad and the Sword Maiden, but Ash dared not select more. He wasn’t the true Final Observer, didn’t have the strong arm to manage four lunatics... Let alone four lunatics, managing the normal operators was already a precarious task every day.

He tightened his grip on Vishi’s hand, "Level Six of Hell," and began the exploration!

But just at the moment Ash chose to explore, Sonia, Diya, and Weiser simultaneously touched various parts of his body. They were too familiar with Ash, able to catch the moment he couldn’t stop, forcing him to venture into Hell with them!

Ash had no time to react. Upon opening his eyes, he found himself in a strange world where the ground was above and below.

He looked around, not seeing any trace of the Sword Maiden and the others, only the bored Death Mad leaning against a pillar. Today, she was no longer in the mature elder sister style, wearing a deep black gothic long dress with white lining, high-heeled knee-high boots exuding authority, draped in a torn cloak black outside and red inside, complementing her flowing blood-red hair and ruby eyes, looking just like...

"Do I look like someone from the Blood Saint Clan?"

Death Mad took a cigarette from the box, lit it, took a drag, and blew smoke rings at Ash’s face.

Ash waved the smoke away discontentedly and asked, "Have you been to the Kingdom of Blood Moon?"

"I’ve been to all realms." Death Mad turned and left, "When you visit the Blood Moon later, buy her this outfit. She’ll like it."

"I won’t." Ash said, "I don’t want her dressed like you."

"Suit yourself." Death Mad shrugged and suddenly unfolded the Void Wings and sprinted away.

Ash hurried after her and asked, "Did they come in with me?"

"No, the Gods of Four Pillars wouldn’t dare infiltrate here," Death Mad chuckled lightly, "Those little trumpets only win easy fights. For thousands of years, they haven’t survived past a dog’s life. In terms of courage, they aren’t even as bold as your Firefly Brilliant Maiden."

"Then—"

"Watch more, ask less." Death Mad glanced back at him, "Our journey tonight is quite packed."

...

...

In the master bedroom, the operators holding Ash’s soul body exchanged glances. Sonia suddenly said, "Felix, Dedarose, you can leave." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Dedarose obediently pulled Felix, who was reluctant to leave, out - sensing from the Vosloda second lady that something interesting was about to happen.

Sonia looked at the others and sniffed, "You all get out too."

"Why!?" Diya stubbornly wanted to resist the Sword Maiden’s tyranny but was cowed by her glare, complaining, "I also care about Ash..."

"Because I should have been happy all night due to a date!" Sonia held Ash in her arms, red-eyed, saying, "You guys ruined my good mood! You little trumpets either get out by yourselves or be thrown out by me!"

She really couldn’t be bothered to endure tonight. Ash seemed to temporarily lower her tolerance to its minimum; she couldn’t bear any grievances, saying whatever came to mind. She lost face entirely in front of Ash, having no mood to maintain her confident elegance, revealing a fierce and possessive side.

Weiser raised her eyebrows, knowing the Sword Maiden had lost reason. If they kept provoking her, they might actually start fighting on Ash’s body. But backing down wasn’t an option either; if they yielded now, she’d repeat this tantrum every time, then how could they have fun?

"Sword Maiden," Weiser approached Sonia, "You don’t want Ash to return and find us arguing, right?"

The red-haired girl didn’t give in, still holding Ash tightly, "In this world, besides him, no one can bully me!"

"I never intended to bully you." Weiser said, "How about this, you can hold him, but we also want to stand guard here. We won’t take him from your hands, okay?"

Sonia hesitated. Even with such favorable conditions, she was somewhat unwilling, but outright refusal would tear things apart. After thinking it over, she reluctantly pouted and nodded before holding Ash and lying on the bed.

Diya decisively seized the fruit of Weiser’s negotiation, occupying the other side of Ash. Weiser was indifferent, lying down next to Diya. When Diya slept, she took the form of a little girl, and the Silver Lamp could embrace both Diya and Ash.

Vishi glanced, noting that the spacious double bed was made somewhat crowded by them. She shook her head and turned off the light, sitting in the soft chair beside, closing her eyes to sleep, like a maid waiting by her Master.

Promised to take me, but ended up stealthily running alone, really... humph.
