It was astounding to discover that Aeliana awakened a second Specialized Magic, thanks to the berserk transformation.

It was a groundbreaking discovery in magic.

That said, even if witches were to learn that becoming an Abomination was the secret to inducing a reawakening and acquiring a second Specialized Magic, no one would still willingly turn themself into an Abomination.

After all, besides Vaan, no one else had successfully reverted an Abomination to their former self.

And even if the other witches learned that they could return from their Abomination state, very few would still go through with it.

Nevertheless, Vaan didn’t find it too surprising that Aeliana acquired a second Specialized Magic.

After all, Specialized Magic was directly tied to a witch’s magic circuit, and the mana veins of her magic circuit were twice the size of a normal witch.

She was bound to develop some extraordinary ability as a result of it.

Furthermore, Aeliana had been through hell and back. Thus, even if she became a little crazy due to all the pain and suffering, her mental fortitude should be very high.

That in and of itself was another talent that would help her advance her magic—if he wasn’t wrong.

“Let us quickly get out of here and return to Sunpeak Town. I’m sure your mother misses you dearly,” Vaan mentioned.

However, the moment he mentioned her mother, Aeliana’s eyes glinted with hatred and madness.

After Vaan noticed the look in her eyes, he paused before asking shortly after, “Do you blame your mother for everything you’ve been through?

“I can’t deny that I hate her from the bottom of my heart for letting me live. I wouldn’t have to suffer through hell if she had just killed me when she had the chance,” Aeliana said honestly with a vengeful look.

However, she quickly turned to Vaan with a happy smile and added, “But of course, I would not have met my Lord if she had killed me back then.”

“No matter what, Lady Solana is still your mother, and she couldn’t bear to kill you because she loves you,” Vaan said.

Nevertheless, it was a subjective topic.

What mothers do for love could be argued. It could spare their daughters out of love, but they could equally kill their daughters out of love.

Aeliana definitely thought about the latter, but she didn’t want to argue with her Lord.

“Do you intend to leave those people outside to die, my Lord?” Aeliana asked as she was getting picked up and carried on Vaan’s back.

“You mentioned that there’s a good chance of defeating the Fallen Witch if you join forces with the other two High Witches in your peak state. However, the fact is that you are not in your peak state. That means the two High Witches alone aren’t enough to deal with the Fallen Witch,” Vaan stated.

After the surgical treatment, he had long exited Lycan Transformation to minimize the duration of the weakened state.

The period of weakness had just ended at that moment.

“But my Lord can also defeat the Fallen Witch if you join forces with the other two High Witches fighting outside, right?” Aeliana guessed, to which Vaan replied with a slight smile.

She quickly understood her Lord did not want to reveal his abilities to the others.

As Vaan carried Aeliana through the empty research area, heading towards the lair’s exit, he felt her body suddenly move with alarm.

“Watch out, my Lord! The Fallen Witch is coming our way—!”

Boom!

The lair’s entrance blew apart as the Fallen Witch came crashing in like a meteor.

“Which rat dares to sneak into my lair and sabotage my sacred research?!” the Fallen Witch roared as she scanned the area with her furious and fierce gaze.

She quickly locked onto Vaan and Aeliana’s figure before her pupils shrank with hostility and disbelief.

At the same time, Headmaster Astoria and Marquis Ember came chasing right after her. They did not let her get away.

“Where do you think you’re going, Elvira?! Do you think you can get away from us?!” Ember shouted as she flew in like a blazing comet.

“Hmph, do you think I am afraid of you?!” Elvira Ashenborn roared.

She quickly ignored Vaan and Aeliana and turned out to receive Ember and Astoria’s attacks. Her body was surrounded by black water lances that spun at high speed.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Elvira fired her black water lances at Ember’s flaming phoenix and Astoria.historical

Boom!

The collision of Elvira and Ember’s attacks generated a massive explosion of steam that quickly covered the entire area.

Ember’s figure was shot out from the steam cloud shortly after.

At the same time, Astoria’s light barrier was also struck by several black water lances before she was blasted away. The powerful impacts also caused cracks to form on her light barrier.

Evidently, Elvira’s attacks were stronger.

Nevertheless, Vaan didn’t wait to get hit by the scorching-hot black water vapor explosion.

When the Fallen Witch Elvira turned around to deal with Ember and Astoria, Vaan immediately fled through the wall with Aeliana using Earth Manipulation.

His decisive choice saved him from the steam explosion in the nick of time.
