“Innate Talent – the Fates (upper-tier): Gain 200% additional Truth and Fate experience, with a low chance to gain 10,000% Truth and Fate experience, occasionally attracts the attention of the Phantom Mirror Dragon (Talent levels unlockable upon strength upgrade).”
“Personal Skill – Revelation of Truth: The mountains are high, the waters long; there is a unique scenery in every place. Infinite truth, with every inch of progress comes an inch of joy. In combat against unknown enemies, Yolan Vesser’s insight +10; when enemy intelligence exceeds 80% in comprehension, Yolan Vesser’s critical rate reaches 100%.”
“Silver Blessing – Yolan Vesser’s Protective Color: A weak scholar always receives more compassion. Once you have had a favorable impression of Yolan Vesser, it becomes difficult to harbor ill will towards her.”
“Golden Blessing – Yolan Vesser’s Armament Color: A clever scholar always finds the right prey. Target locked by Yolan Vesser easily becomes foolish and dumb. When the situation is clearly in favor of the target over Yolan Vesser, they will find traces from details indicating that Yolan Vesser still has hidden cards, causing them to be fearful and voluntarily retreat. When the situation is clearly in Yolan Vesser’s favor, the target will use various reasons to convince themselves that they have the advantage, abandoning escape and voluntarily meeting their demise.

“Training Strategy: Not set”
The new operator is a sanctuary sorcerer!
But what surprised Ashe even more was her spellcasting sect mastery – not only did she possess a sanctuary level in the Truth Sect, a golden level in the Fire Sect, but she also had as many as twenty-four silver level spellcasting sects!
The number of spellcasting sects she mastered even exceeded her age!
Although the Innate Talent ‘the Fates’ seems to be a talent of both the Truth and Fate sects, making it initially appear far superior to that of a sword princess or witch, she has only mastered the Truth Sect, clearly lacking in the entry into the Fate Sect. If Ashe is correct, she likely first became a two-wings sorcerer through the Fire Sect before entering the Truth Sect-since the Prophecy, Fate, and Truth sects cannot be entered through conventional means.
Thus, the ‘the Fates’ talent may not necessarily be better than that of a ‘sword princess’ or ‘witch’. If the new operator has not yet entered the Truth Sect, this talent equals having none. It’s akin to an orc’s spatial talent, where they remain subservient until they step into the Distant Sky Domain.
However, this was Ashe’s subconscious attempt to downplay the new operator, or rather, to convince himself that ‘she’s just as strong as the sword princess and witch’-because the new operator’s specifications on paper are truly outrageous!
Sanctuary level Truth Sect!
A genuine three wings sorcerer!
She’s not a stowaway trying to blend in at the Distant Sky Domain like them; the new operator is recognized by the Virtual Realm, summoning a three-wings spirit on her own merit, thus opening the Gate of Truth leading to the Distant Sky Domain!
Leaving aside how rare the Truth Sect is, the sheer number of Spellcasting Sects she has mastered is terrifying. Notably, she hasn’t mastered the silver level Spatial Sect, which means she hasn’t formed a sanctuary yet, and her Virtual Realm progress is about the same as Ashe’s group-this gave Ashe mixed feelings, as he was relieved yet regretted not finding a powerful ally.
She also mastered two secret toxins, including the known Vortex Secret Toxin. The Mirror Dragon Secret Toxin is evidently related to her talent, needing more inquiry in the Virtual Realm.
Moreover, she possesses an extremely rare spirit-Thousand Changes.
This was a precious spirit casually mentioned by the sword princess when discussing the ‘Five Spirits of the Peerless Secret Sword’, and even a one-winged version fetches a price equivalent to that of a four-winged spirit, with sanctuary and even legendary sorcerers having a keen desire to acquire it.
The most notable feature of this spirit is its lack of any feature-it can transform into any spirit.
Naturally, there are many restrictions; it requires the sorcerer to know, have, or have touched the target spirit, and post-transformation, the spirit’s wings must match those of Thousand Changes. But this trait alone is enough to make sorcerers flock to it.
The Swordsmanship Sect has the ‘Five Spirits of the Peerless Secret Sword’, and naturally, other Spellcasting Sects have their own lists of extremely rare yet powerful spirits, such as the ‘Six Spirits of the Ancient Scroll’ or the ‘Eight Spirits of the King of Fighters’. Normally, if a sorcerer wants to acquire these rare spirits, they either resort to coercion and enticement or rely on luck in the Virtual Realm. The former is rare-unless it’s very obvious, it’s difficult to tell what spirits a sorcerer possesses. Those that can be recognized at a glance typically have common effects.
Those who dare to flaunt their rare spirits are often two-wings or even sanctuary-level powerhouses. Their social standing is high enough to ensure they are not plundered and have the confidence to refuse any trades. The strength of the Thousand Changes Spirit lies in the fact that it doesn’t require other sorcerers to part with their precious spirits; it can transform into the corresponding imitation on its own.
If you don’t want to sell your spirit, there’s no harm in letting me have a quick look, right?
Moreover, sanctuary legends and legendary sorcerers often possess one or two extremely key rare spirits, with importance comparable to that of a spouse. If they die in the Virtual Realm and lose a key spirit, it could even lead to the collapse of their spirit system, much like a crucial card missing from a deck. Having a Thousand Changes Spirit as a backup spouse at least helps them survive the most dangerous period.
Undoubtedly, the new operator surpasses Ashe and his companions in terms of Spellcasting Sect expertise, spirits, and talents. However, Ashe isn’t too concerned about getting along with the new operator because he saw Yolan Vesser’s portrait-a bespectacled young woman dressed in a trench coat, wearing a small round hat, quietly reading a book on a sofa.
She doesn’t seem like a 24-year-old sanctuary sorcerer; rather, she resembles a student still in school, with a youthful appearance even more so than the sword princess or the witch.
The new operator seems to be a Scholar focused on Spellcasting. The ‘Protective Color’ and ‘Armament Color’ blessings indicate that she doesn’t enjoy conflict much. Her role as a ‘Veil Shadow’ suggests that she leads a life without much attention, possibly working as a librarian or conducting research in a Laboratory-in short, a homebody.
She should be easy to get along with, Ashe thought.
The new operator might not excel in combat, possibly leaning more towards support and reconnaissance, but their team already has enough attackers. The new operator perfectly fills this gap. Not to mention, the ‘Armament Color’ Golden Blessing is incredibly useful-it directly lowers the target’s intelligence, causing the strong to flee and the weak to deliver themselves as prey. Even a momentary impact can turn the tide of battle.
Sword Princess and Witch should be able to accept such a teammate, right?
Although it seemed like there wouldn’t be any issues, Ashe decided to use the ‘Advanced Trial Card’ he had on the new operator. He wasn’t expecting her to be completely obedient, but hoped to at least form some Bond.
Ashe had a feeling he would get along well with the new operator.
Because they both have substitute spirits!
As long as you like using substitute spirits too, it’s like being kindred spirits!
Next up is the highlight of this draw: two outfits!
“Lunar Star Swimsuit – Sword Princess: When using Composite Miracles from multiple Sects, spellforce consumption is reduced by 10% (requires active gifting and operator approval).”
“Empress in the Rain – Witch: All water spell miracle effects are increased by 50% under the Rain Curtain (requires active gifting and operator approval).”
What?
Ashe blinked and opened the details for these two outfits, and his pupils immediately contracted-the resolution wasn’t very high, but it was indeed a new portrait!
The Sword Princess wore a pure white swimsuit with a fully transparent, off-the-shoulder outer garment over it. She looked a bit shy but her eyes were bright, seemingly asking, “Do I look good?”
The Witch, on the other hand, stood in the rain wearing a black and white Gothic skirt. Although it was called a skirt, it only had a back hem, and she wore shorts and stockings underneath, allowing full leg movement. She was soaked to the skin, with her clothes clinging tightly to her body, looking like a little abandoned cat in the rain, evoking sympathy.
Honestly, both outfits are fantastic, and with such striking portraits, how stunning must they be in real life?
But the issue is, they require active gifting and operator approval?
Ashe initially thought that he could simply equip the outfits for the operators, and then the next time they entered the Virtual Realm, he would get to see them in those outfits. Even if they got mad, at worst, he’d endure a bit of backlash and revert it, but at least he’d get a moment of enjoyment.
However, personally handing them the swimsuit and dress with stockings was entirely different-it was like submitting a blank holiday assignment and getting caught by the teacher, as opposed to blatantly declaring that you weren’t going to do any holiday work. The former is a sneaky prank, while the latter is openly challenging someone.
If there was a chance to negotiate with the Witch, it would be out of the question with the sword Princess. Ashe feared he’d end up getting slashed while still holding the swimsuit.
Darn it, these operator outfits actually come with such requirements. Does this mean he’ll have to draw only the more modest outfits in the future?
Wait a minute, does this mean the Bridal outfit would also require…?
Just as Ashe was seriously contemplating how to handle getting a Bridal outfit in a draw, Igor suddenly asked, “Actually, we could have escaped back then.”
“Hm?”
“When you realized that you couldn’t beat the Four Pillars Cult, you could have used the power of the Inferno of Tribulations Demi-God to blaze a path out for us. That woman was strong, but as their leader, she couldn’t leave her post. We had a good chance of escaping.”
Ashe paused, nodding, “Yeah, you’re right, but at that time, I thought I still had a chance of winning.”
Igor couldn’t understand. “After she summoned the blessing of the Four Pillars God, she dispersed your meteor fireball just with her aura. How did you think you had a chance?”
“What if she wasn’t good at close combat? What if her Four Pillars God blessing dissipated quickly?” Ashe scratched his head. “Besides, I’ve been blessed by the Four Pillars God before, but Gerard quickly took me down. I thought I could do the same to her, but who would have thought…”
Harvey interjected, “What’s your point?”
“I’m just puzzled by Ashe’s actions back then,” Igor mused. “It was like a Lala Fatty suddenly turning aggressive… Unless it’s a battle with no way out, like when we were being chased, Ashe rarely shows such eagerness to fight. The Four Pillars Cult wasn’t targeting us specifically, and Ashe controlled the Inferno of Tribulations Demi-God, which gave him the upper hand. He could have stood against the Four Pillars Cult and gained more at the negotiation table, yet he recklessly charged in for a fight to the death.”
Harvey shrugged, “What’s so strange about that? He just gained a powerful force and got overconfident, thinking no one could stop him.”
“Exactly,” Ashe nodded along. “Hanging with you guys all the time, isn’t it normal for me to occasionally lose my senses?”
Seeing that both Ashe and Harvey had said their piece, Igor couldn’t argue further. However, it did make him more vigilant inwardly.
One of the main reasons Igor had chosen to give up on cooperating with the Four Pillars Cult was that, upon reviewing the day’s battle, he found the woman who defeated Ashe increasingly inscrutable.
Moreover, there was a familiar scent about her.
A scent of being the same kind.
