Chapter 345 (2/2)

She began to miss Kaff, her chief guard.

Even though he was only a subordinate to her family, she thought he was more gentle than the so-called prince.

“My name is Scroll, Miss Elsa,” another witch who looked pretty mature, suddenly asked, “Have you ever heard of the name of Alice?”

“How come you know this name?” Else suffered a jolt. “Wasn’t it said that all the records about 450 years ago had been lost?”

“I found an ancient book in the ruins located in the forest on East Border of King City in Graycastle,” said Scroll. “It’s the one on your hand. Her name is on the last page written in ordinary people’s language.”

Elsa quickly turned to the last page. After reading the illegible diary, she deeply sighed and fell into silence. A female statue started emerging in Elsa’s mind. The lady raised her long sword, with light radiating from her body shinning and dazzling all the people’s eyes. But finally her figure was fading away, step by step, little by little. In the end it totally dissolved in the darkness.

After a long while, she said slowly, “Right, Alice was the Queen of the Meteor City as well as one of the three chiefs in the Union.She was an Extraordinary, or a Transcendent. Even among amounts of Blessed Ones in the Union, she was also the strongest.”

“A Transcendent!” The crowd murmured.

“Since these records have been lost, it’s natural for you all knowing nothing about it,” Elsa said in a serious voice. “The abilities of withes will be enhanced continuously since they awoke and become stable since the Day of Adulthood. But it isn’t the ceiling of their ability growth. Some lucky dogs can step forward and get unbelievable achievements… We often call it the High Awakening. In fact, there’s no limit for their awakenings, or growth rate. But obvious changes could be observed on the performance of their magic power.”

“Hum, is this ability evolution?” The prince touched the back of his head and muttered. “In total, four witches have evolved in the Witch Union.”

“Four?” Elsa was almost choked by that. She asked surprisingly, “How many witches are there in your Witch Union exactly?”

The prince counted with the help of fingers and said, “More than ten.”

” Stop talking nonsense!” Elsa obviously seemed to be enraged by his rash words. “Do you mean four out of ten have undergone the High Awakening? You have no idea what evolution means for witches.It’s totally different from the consolidation or derivative skills on the Day of Adulthood. Only the luckiest ones can be promoted, which takes both perspiration and inspiration!”

The prince looked rather innocent and gestured to Anna.

“What a pretty and elegant girl!” Elsa said to herself as she watched the girl walk towards her bed. She was extraordinarily good-looking even among all the witches. Her beautiful blue eyes seemed like a lucid lake, where Elsa could see her own reflections. But she was too young and maybe just had her adulthood. It was impossible for her to accumulate enough experience in training, meditation and enlightening. Elsa evolved at 26 years old. At that time, she was treated as the most promising genius in the Union for her achievement. She knew how difficult the evolution was since she went through that.

“They probably take derivative skills a young witch developed on her Day of Adulthood as a High Awakening,” Elsa said to herself .

A ball of orange fire appeared in Anna’s palm.

“It’s the ability to control the flame, a common type of the summoning capabilities, which can be ranked by the maximum temperature and the heating rate,” she gave her comments quickly. “The one who can eject the flame are regarded as a combat witch.”

Just after Elsa’s words, the blaze dimmed away, and then turned into a tongue of fluorescent green flame. It began to change its color, from dark green to light green. It seemed that the green flame tried to absorb all the lights around so that it could become stronger and stronger.

“This is the consolidated skill she mastered on the Day of Adulthood, and you’ll see her most important skill soon,” the prince explained.

“Is it? No, it can’t be a consolidated skill! If it were, the flame should be hotter and the heart of the flame should be bigger and brighter.” Elsa was astonished with her mouth wide open. “Besides, what’s her most important skill?”

Soon something incredible happened. The green flame suddenly disappeared, and a black solid cube emerged in Anna’s palm, which looked like a piece of rigid metal with smooth facets and angular sides.
