Hate me, Miss Witch!

Chapter 389 - 203: Every Journey Has an End

Silent Tower.

Without windows, it is naturally difficult to glimpse the daylight beyond.

Only rows of simple bookshelves span the empty interior of the tower, becoming the sole existence within this vast space.

Each shelf is adorned with books exuding an ancient aura.

A light mystery lingers over the books, revealing them as Spell Primers.

In the world of wizards, knowledge itself is equivalent to power.

The rarer it is, the narrower its spread, the less widely known the Spell Primers and forbidden knowledge are to the world—

Their surrounding mystery, and the power that the spells unleash, become even stronger.

Therefore, this is why having a teacher is so important in the world of wizards.

A teacher is one who imparts knowledge and resolves doubts.

Learning forbidden knowledge, imparting rare Spell Primers, and even avoiding dangers and taboos in certain magic experiments...

Whether for the young Shiayar of the Fourth Epoch, or Hathaway of the First Era—

If they hadn’t encountered each other, they might have spent their entire lives never completing even Arcane Enlightenment, unable to step into the threshold named wizard.

And if a few months ago, just after meeting Teacher Shaar, just at the moment of stepping into the unknown hall named Arcane Arts and Magic under his guidance.

Then the Golden Elf at this moment might be exhilarated, as if discovering a treasure of a new world, even completely immersed in it.

After all, previously Shiayar always regarded Hathaway as not having a stable enough temperament as a wizard, fearing that rash contact with some highly complex spell models might lead to an Illusion Technique, or even a backlash of spiritual power—

No matter how Hathaway requested, he never opened up all the Spell Primers he mastered to her, only selectively teaching her a very small part of them.

But, at this moment.

The countless secret primers that she so longed for, that directly led to the stellar ocean of Arcane Arts, were now displayed unimpeded on the shelves within the tower.

To a wizard who regards knowledge as wealth, this is equivalent to a gold mountain placed in front of them.

However, in Hathaway’s heart, there wasn’t even a slight desire to read those Spell Primers.

She is not foolish.

Even though she did not previously know when the ritual with the old Sun God and Shiayar was to begin.

But—

Not long ago, this dreamlike journey.

And at the end of this journey.

Shiayar’s words, seemingly relieved yet with a hint of reluctance.

All hint at an obvious truth.

The truth that Hathaway doesn’t want to face, yet cannot avoid.

The unease in her heart swells, almost filling her mind.

However, no matter how she tries, the huge metal door remains unmoved, unshaken.

...

BOOM——

The enormous sound, like the sky collapsing, comes from the distant sky.

At the same time, Hathaway suddenly feels that the bloodline binding from the Elf King on her body weakens.

The binding that originally restricted her spiritual power and bloodline, preventing Hathaway from using the extraordinary abilities of the Golden Elf or magic, is now slowly dissipating.

It quickly vanishes.

The strong spiritual power belonging to a Legendary Golden Elf and Legendary wizard fills her body once again.

Transforming her from a helpless girl to an omnipotent Legendary powerful pro once more.

Not only is the binding—

Even the Black Tower itself is gradually fading.

The heavy metal walls are becoming illusory and transparent.

Through the illusionary tower, the blurry scenery outside can be vaguely seen.

And in an instant, clarity fills Hathaway’s heart.

Not only the city named Lokiya, where the Arcane Arts festival was held earlier.

Even the Black Tower itself is a scene conjured by Shiayar’s mind and Illusion Technique.

However, unlike that Bubble City, like Atlantis, which vanishes with sunlight.

This Black Tower was infused with more spiritual power by Shiayar and solidified.

Within its duration, the boundary between illusion and reality is blurred, nearly transforming illusion into reality, even Hathaway did not sense it previously.

But since it is an illusion, it will eventually dissipate.

And the scene before her eyes—

Indicates.

Whether the source of the Golden Elf’s bloodline binding, the old Sun God, or the master of this illusory Black Tower—

They are all departing.

Leaving this world, leaving her side.

Hathaway abruptly stands up.

A clear and melodious, yet urgently fast chanting resonates throughout the empty tower.

It is a superior farseeing magic, named "Clairvoyance A+" by Shiayar when teaching it to Hathaway.

It can disregard obstructions, bypass physical barriers, and directly explore the outside in its entirety.

The spell model of the farseeing magic, under the influence of High-Speed Divine Words, is constructed in an instant.

Then, it transforms into a thin water curtain.

Reflecting everything outside.

The next moment.

Hathaway’s pale gold eyes suddenly contract.
