Chapter 46 - New path (1/2)

Nightin turned his view back to the front,only to see two lines of yellowish teeth looking at him. The old granny had crawled up to him as she kneeled on the table,lifting up her spectacles and taking it off,she whispered to herself ”How could someone actually make it out alive after drinking this cup of tea...”

The old granny was bewildered,it was the first time this had happened. From what the hall master has told her,only a peerless genius with a resolute heart would be able to walk out of it alive.

The hall master even emphasised on one thing that time ”No matter what, don't mess with someone who manages to survive through. That one person would be the savior of your village...”

Since then,thousands of years have passed as she waited alone in this village. If not for Nightin's sudden appearance,she would have already given up her own life.

The old granny sighed as the heavy stone was lifted off her chest as her body started to change. Nightin looked at her as he blinked,thinking to himself out aloud ”What the hell is this!”

The old granny in front of him disappeared and a elegant woman appeared in front of his view. All she had were a few black feathers to cover her private parts which made Nightin avert his gaze again,as he cursed under his breath ”Damn it,not again.”,

The woman had long gray hair which flowed down one side of her shoulder,her skin was fair as snow and her clothing and aura right now. They gave off a sense of despair filled with elegance,no doubt that she's a beautiful black tulip surrounded by invisible thorns.

The woman shortly after,covered up her body with a long black robe as she told Nightin who was looking at the opposite direction from her ”Hey,you can turn around now.”

Nightin turned around slowly,only to be amazed by her beauty. Nightin struggled to open his mouth as he asked ”Just who are you? Where's the old granny who was here a moment ago?”

The woman chuckled as she said ”I was the old granny who was in front of you just now.”

Nightin was thinking at this time,just what exactly happened for the sudden change in appearance to happen.

Before Nightin could ask,the woman seemed to have already anticipated it as she said ”If I say that I'm a Witch,would you understand now? I'm a Necromancer.”

Nightin looked at her,his face totally gave him off. He didn't know what a Witch is,not to mention about the Necromancer.

The woman almost fainted as she held her fist back,if she loses control,she would be killing the person meant to help her.

The Witch took out her staff and introduced herself first,if she doesn't introduce herself now, she's sure that Nightin will call her old granny later.

Her staff was made of sturdy bones,on the top of it was a simple orb which was bottle green yet it was actually giving off a shine.

”I'll just say this first, don't ever forget about what I'm going to tell you next.”

Nightin looked at her and nodded to show that her understood her intention.

The woman smirked and him as she looked up above ”I'm Cordelia,one of the seven great magus of the Moonlight Hall.”

Nightin nodded and asked ”Old gran...”

Nightin realised his mistake and tried to correct it immediately,yet a first made of bones was already piercing through the air and aiming for his body.

”Argh!”

Nightin flew backwards as he knocked down a few wooden tables on the way before crashing against the wall. Even though the attack was strong,the woman definitely had no intention to kill him. All she wanted to,was to teach Nightin a lesson.

This is the moment when Nightin remembered something his father had told him ”My child,remember this deeply. A woman's heart is deeper than even the ocean, don't offend them in any case.”

Nightin shook his head and slowly stood up,only to see Cordelia raising up her staff and preparing to teach him another lesson. Left with no choice,he could only quickly call out ”Cordelia, a beauty like you won't pick on a young child like me right? You would be tarnishing your elegant and noble aura if you make a move on me.”

Cordelia's stern face disappeared and what replaced it was a broad smile. She whirled her staff behind her back and held it with her right hand. ”That's for sure!”

Cordelia's smile however disappeared the next moment,in place of it was a face full of worries. Cordelia started to chant as she raised her staff upwards ”With thy magic,I hereby summon my soul beast!”

Nightin looked at her in suspense,he was curious what the soul beast of a witch would be like. Would it be a titanic soul beast or one whose body is made of bones?
