Chapter 339 Fate’s Backlash
Unique problems required specialists to be solved!
If this had been an ordinary curse, it could have been resolved with a simple Purifying Potion. It cost forty magic crystals, and every single adept carried a couple of them on them.
That said, Alice had kicked a hornet’s nest this time. What’s more, it was the ridiculously large kind. Greem had no choice but to ask for Ferrier. She was, after all, the potions master that the Sarubo Clan was investing in.
Half an hour later, a massive cauldron had been erected in Alice’s room. All sorts of valuable herbs were thrown into it in succession. Ferrier placed Alice into the cauldron once the fire was warm enough.
Troublesome!
Extremely troublesome!
Even Ferrier shook her head in silence when she felt the numerous intertwined curses and resentments in Alice’s body!
It was thanks to this ‘credit’ of hers that Rena’s status in the clan skyrocketed. She had quickly turned into an important authority figure within the territory that no one dared to provoke.
Perhaps it was because of Snowlotus’ significance to her, but Rena couldn’t help but fear for her daughter’s life when she discovered that her daughter had entered into the dangerous Battle of Fate. She couldn’t overcome her anxiety and ended up begging her mother, the Fourth Grade Lady Angelina, leader of the Witches of Deceit, to interfere in the selection for the Witch of Fate.
This was why she had hurried over to Agatha’s hut when she received news of Snowlotus’ condition.
Rena repeatedly examined Snowlotus condition and was surprised to find her physical health to be well. It was only her mental flux that seemed to be weak and slow. She even screamed out loud occasionally.
It was as if she was trapped in a nightmare!
“Is this what you meant by stabilized?” Witch Rena couldn’t help but shout in her fit of anger, “My daughter has exceptional talent. Even my mother herself has acknowledged this and praised her for this. Moreover, she still has the blessing applied by my mother. How could she be trapped in a nightmare? Speak! Did you do something?”
Agatha could only smile when confronted by this Second Grade witch that managed everything within the territory, “Lady Rena, this is already the best I can do! You should know that Miss Snowlotus is under the effect of severe fate backlash. Moreover, it seems like she saw something she shouldn’t have during her mental connection with the enemy diviner. Her spirit consciousness has received a severe impact. Staying within the nightmare at this point might actually be the better option. If we woke her up carelessly now, I’m afraid… “
“What are you afraid of?”
“I’m afraid her mental self will be severely damaged!”
“Will this harm her advancement potential?” The fierce Rena immediately became nervous when she mentioned this.
Agatha nodded her head with a grave expression on her face.
“Dammit, dammit, dammit… ” Witch Rena paced about the room anxiously, “I knew this would happen! Agatha, tell me the location of that accursed diviner. I will send people after her and tear her to pieces now!”
Agatha’s frail body trembled all of a sudden. She thought for a moment before reluctantly speaking, “Lady Rena, I would advise against that.”
“Why?” Rena straightened her body. A murderous aura hung on her pretty face.
“I’ll be straightforward with what I say. It is precisely because of what you have done for Miss Snowlotus that things are as complicated as they are. The more candidates you kill, the more the laws of fate will reject Miss Snowlotus. Conversely, the other candidates will also receive the favor of fate. Have you not realized? The more candidates you kill, the quicker the remaining ones can advance to adept. This is fate maintaining balance!”
“Hmph! We of the Witches of Deceit have never believed in fate!” Rena snorted arrogantly.
“But Miss Snowlotus has to!” Agatha patiently explained, “Miss Snowlotus is extremely talented. She has plenty of resources to aid her training as well. However, why is it that she is still stuck at the pseudo-adept level, while everyone else, even those candidates inferior to her, have already advanced? It is because we have interfered far too much!”
“Are we to do nothing at all then? Should we let Snowlotus participate in that dangerous Battle of Fate without any preparation?”
“My Lady, Miss Snowlotus’ fate was no longer in our hands when she awakened to the bloodline of the Witch of Fate. The more you do, the more mistakes you will be making! Miss Snowlotus is already suffering the backlash from the laws of fate. On the other hand, that diviner has received the favor of fate. I fear Miss Snowlotus will become the enemy of fate if you continue to intervene in this matter. At that point, she honestly won’t have any chance of winning!”
“Are we not even allowed to retaliate after that damned diviner put Snowlotus in this state?”
“It doesn’t matter what you do. Be it by your hand, someone else’s, or employing some underhanded scheme, all that you do will cause fate to distance itself further and further away from Snowlotus. It simply isn’t worth it.”
