the most expensive spellcasting fees were fully covered by Stormwind City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their contribution was largely responsible for Coral Bay’s reconstruction reaching this level in just two months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First and foremost, the magical city wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That thing was insanely expensive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The materials used, the magical procedures involved, the spell components—all of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far exceeded ordinary fortifications;

he saw her golden dog tail immediately wag faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Sharon quickly broke free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face scowled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can’t you avoid hugging in public? Besides, is this really worth panicking over? Worst case, I’ll just stop using aether.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dimia arrived a moment later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body had changed noticeably—her baby-faced, cute features were now flushed pink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s the Weave. I felt the Weave’s contact.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Weave? Isn’t that Mystra’s convenient spellcasting network? But it’s currently controlled by those traitors who betrayed her—it’s not supposed to be accessible!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sharon frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The forest had never used the Weave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De had honored his promise to Mystra—until she fully ascended, he would reveal nothing about her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the second informant, Asmodeus, the bastard was probably hiding somewhere, nursing his wounds—he hadn’t shown his face at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it seemed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mystra’s ascension had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder he’d felt that odd familiarity when he saw the magical veil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s different. My witch nature differs from yours—I can sense the Weave expanding wildly, wrapping the entire continent in its grasp through the magic veil just now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dimia said solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked from Sharon to Luo De.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This power… someone has ascended.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sharon’s face showed shock, then quickly calmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mystra’s blood stained with a spark of divinity, then Asmodeus, tainted by her blood, fled wounded—now the Weave expands. Mystra has ascended.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dog-girl swiftly deduced the correct answer from the outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned to Luo De: “You fought Asmodeus—did you sense anything?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But clearly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she didn’t believe Luo De was a key player.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De spread his hands: “Actually, I’m Mystra’s father.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sharon’s face changed; she lunged forward and clamped her hand over his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Watch your tongue! You idiot! Mystra may have already ascended—no one knows what a god can do!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when she saw no abnormal magical fluctuations did she relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De casually wrapped his arm around her waist, accelerating the dual-domain healing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sharon’s body contained vast amounts of aether, currently battling the new magic fused with spirituality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her condition was not good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sharon had wanted to push him away, but this time Luo De was firm, holding her tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could do nothing but glare at him fiercely—yet her hands secretly gripped his collar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two months had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her research into spiritual constructs with Callist had reached a conclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, her portion of the research was complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What remained was Callist’s deconstruction work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The halfling Lily would join in—Lily’s skill in spellcraft was only average among mages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when it came to deconstructing spells, no one could surpass her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purely a talent prodigy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sharon would soon return to Faye to continue her comprehension of the primal Plague Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t post it publicly; let’s discuss it in the group chat—check the pinned post in the discussion area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1053,"2026-06-20T19:55:32.074Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d598ca04891e93462b16751959abacabc3c0b04099cde62478d39eee59ca0d16","i-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-chapter-558","i-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-chapter-556",704,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-cover.jpg"]
