Laylin softly breathed out a sigh at his flaring temper. She closed her eyes in silent, her heart drumming in her chest. “Scarlet was the daughter of a Rakhbar Princess and Sansy so it made her the perfect medium: the blood of both, Red Witch and White Wolf. You said the Old Mistress sees the future, did she see it?” Berilla somberly nodded, “She saw a future where the King of Rakhbar wasn’t poisoned and Scarlet didn't absorb your aura during the ritual. The King kills Sansy and Scarlet but she saw his demon take over right after. He went mad... after absorbing the dark aura. In her vision, he hunts you in his beast form. He drains you of your aura killing you.” A silence falls on them and nobody speaks for minutes before Laylin hesitantly asks. “What does she say now?” Valerie replied instead, “Nothing she sees will ever happen again. Her power remains till she or anyone else doesn’t interrupt the future but the future had already changed without her knowing.” She pointedly looked

“The Mad Harpies…?” Laylin drawled, not quite understanding why they were so shocked. “They are mostly tales for our world but they exist in the Other World. There are records of one showing up in the Great Mistress's diary. It says she was sealed but not before laying hundreds of eggs. Her eggs absorb vengeful spirits to nourish but can’t hatch without a hundred virgin sacrifices.” Valerie replied. “It was a fairy tale villain in our bedtime stories in Sarang...” Berilla shifted uncomfortably. It was a story they grew up hearing. A cannibal villain so terrible that sucked the life out of the living and feasted on their flesh. She shuddered just thinking about facing something like that in real life. “If he can control something like this….” The Princess wondered. He would truly be invincible but that was not all. He would need to feed those cannibal monsters along with the rest of the demonic monsters. Sooner or later, he will use people as livestock for them. There was no way tho

“Yes.” With a scroll in her hand trembling, Laylin checked the magic circle for the third time from her bird’s eyes because once a magic circle was activated there was no way to reverse it. “It should work, the calculation and axis points are aligned. In theory, once activated, we should be able to teleport here the monster from the lake in just three seconds.” With the Magic Circle reconstructed after a day, all the witches stood on a hill overlooking the giant structure. The teleportation destination magic circle was ready and a witch only needed to input aura in it to bring the spell to life. With a sigh. Laylin handed the scroll to Eloise, who refused to move an inch away from her. Hopefully, it will turn out well. Esmer came forward, but Berilla held her arm, “Let me, Esmer. It will absorb a lot of aura. You need to be conscious to lead them.” They stared at each other for a moment, before Esmer eventually relented and tried to return to her place. Their plan was simple: fir

Laylin tilted her head in confusion, somehow the scene looked familiar. The Great Mistress entered the aisle and it had that cursed book. Laylin saw her ancestor witch was holding one too. The one in her hand must be the one that was in possession of the witches. Suddenly the Great Mistress was out of breath as if she was being suffocated. Wheezing, she staggered into another aisle and it had the cursed book too. Laylin's mouth dropped open. These scenarios were from her dreams! That was why she felt deja vu! For how long had the Great MIstress been trying to show her these dreams> The Great Mistress was scared out of her wits now. Whatever was happening was scaring her. Laylin pursed her lips. She was a ghost in her memory. For some reason, her Great Ancestor had left her memories and the extra magic circles must be the way to activate those memories. She was trying to tell her something. The Mistress ran down every aisle to find a corner to hide in. She was shaking her head in

‘AAACK!' She pointed the dagger at him and flicked it down. His leg bent at an unnatural angle, his bone stuck out bringing him into a half-kneeling position. “Keep it down. I don’t want a commotion.” She was so calm that it was creepy. Her lazy eyes fell on the Dark Wizard and she smirked. The Dark Wizard tried to cast a spell but nothing worked, he couldn’t take anything as the source. The Dark Wizard had little to no aura or couldn’t control their auras like Valerie. There are two sources for using magic. One is auras that are taken from nature and one is life sources. Dark magicians fuel their magic with life forces which means they kill to do magic. But it doesn’t have to be beasts or humans, depending on the magnitude of the spell even insects can be used for simple spells. She had protected every living being with her aura in the perimeter. Her snake rubbed its head against her neck, and she caressed its scales with a smirk. She enjoyed the Dark wizard's desperate attempts
