Release that Witch - Chapter 1420

Chapter 1420: 1420






"What is it? Is there a problem?" Roland turned his head .

"It looks somewhat similar to the thing that I've killed before . " Nightingale spread her hands out . "But the one I killed was much smaller and did not have such a ridiculous figure…"

"Wait a minute, you're talking about your investigation at Great Snow Mountain?"

Nightingale nodded her head . "An earlier case was when searching for the Ice Witch . Based on its ability to turn invisible, it explains why the humans treated it as a ghost . "

"Are you able to pinpoint the differences between this and the monster you've killed in more detail?" Roland asked .

"Erm… let me think about it . It was a few years ago . " Nightingale took the drawing . "The one that I met was, at most, half the height of the monster in the drawing . Its front claws were also in the form of scythes, but much smaller; the belly was only used for climbing, unlike this, which has so many claws . For the head… Right, the demonic beast that I fought did not have such an obvious mouth and razor sharp teeth . The drawing depicts it more like a predator . If not for its front claws and ability to turn invisible, I would not have linked the two together . At that time, I figured that they were one of those hybrid demonic beasts . "

Roland's expression turned solemn . "But in the end, we discovered that they belong to the Sky-sea Realm . "

If we were to say that the demonic beasts posed a certain level of threat, the Sky-sea Realm was on a whole other level . As a participant of the Battle of Divine Will, they were capable of suppressing the demons from an unknown location, so they couldn't be underestimated . For them to appear in the Western Region was definitely not good news .





But the northern part of the Fertile Plains had been occupied by the demons after the Battle of Divine Will, so how did the Sky-sea Realm infiltrate into the belly of the continent?

Could it be…

A horrific and exaggerated thought vaguely appeared in his head .

"Right, talking about the demonic beasts… The First Army encountered them in the snow mountain remains . " Nightingale frowned . "You can call it a coincidence or luck, but are the demonic beasts and Sky-sea Realm in cahoots?"

Roland and Isabella turned and looked at Nightingale at the same time .

The latter immediately covered her mouth . " I was just making a passing remark, you don't have to take it too seriously . "

"In all, I'm afraid that this problem is even thornier than what I had anticipated . " Roland gently rapped on the table . Regardless, Neverwinter is the core of the human industry, and nothing should ever happen there . If the attack is related to the Sky-sea Realm, it'll be difficult to get through it even with the most prudent countermeasures . "Isabella, the information you've provided is very useful… Go and have a rest first; I will have a member of the General Staff contact you soon . "






However, Isabella remained in her spot . "Your Majesty, I have a matter to inform you . "

"What is it? Tell me . "

"While I was here in Hermes, I continued to experiment with God's Stones . " She retrieved a draft paper from her clothes and placed it on the table . "Do you remember Agatha's conclusion the last time? That they are obstructed and unusable not by dense magic power but by other factors . I performed repeated experiments here and discovered a factor that might possible be related to frequency . "

"Frequency?" Roland exclaimed .

"I referenced it to the Natural Science Theoretical Foundation that you compiled, and maybe what I said isn't too accurate, but I can't think of a better description . " Isabella then described her discovery succinctly . "In fact… after learning about this, my magic power actually condensed . "

Nightingale blinked in surprise and observed Isabella for a moment before blurting out, it's true… I didn't notice that . "

Roland laughed . "That means that the Witch Union has a new Extraordinary? Congratulations on the breakthrough . "

Isabella shook her head . "Everything was possible because you gave me a chance . "





"But persisting in the research was your choice . " He insisted . "Did you feel anything new after having your magic power evolve?"

Isabella extended her palm out, revealing a ring donned on her middle finger . The gem in the middle gradually lit up .

Any other person would be surprised and interested in what seemed to be a magic stone capable of releasing light, but Roland only had suspicions towards it . There was something different about it

"This stone… isn't from the demons!" Nightingale exclaimed .

Roland immediately realized what was happening . Magic stones were the source of power for the demons, and their appearance was never a factor; thus, the majority of them were oval . But this stone had distinct cuts on them like precious stone polished to a polyhedron, something only humans would do .

But humans did not wield the ability to create magic stones so far, and all of them came as spoils of war or were excavated from ruins . Cutting and polishing affected the composition of a magic stone and, in other words, they had to be cut before the transformation .

"This was my first experiment after evolving . " Isabella became slightly wistful . "It was originally a God's Locket of Retribution used by the Church that are no longer used to restrain any Witch . "

Roland turned agape in surprise . "You turned a God's Stone into glowing magic stone?"

"Yes, Your Majesty . " Isabella nodded her head . "If for example, my past ability was to completely repel the waves emitted from a God Stone, I am now able to weaken a specific frequency, and the result is this magic stone . But at present, only a few magic stones are affected in this manner, it might be related to my insufficient understanding of the subject . "

Roland took about a half hour with questions and experiment manuscripts to grasp Isabella's point . To put it simply, Isabella had established a link between her ability and her knowledge and grasp over God Stones . To her, the undulating waves from the stones were extremely powerful to the extent of her being unable to grasp their fluctuations, only to resemble a deathly still field at one glance . Upon locating the waves, all other fluctuations were no longer able to present themselves, that was the reason for the God's Stone ability to isolate powers .

But regardless of it being 'waves' or 'frequency', they were both described as conversion of energy . Isabella had faintly grasped the difference between the two, yet was unable to accurately express herself due to her limited knowledge . After all, waves spoke for themselves and were a relatively simple term to understand, but not magic power . She was only able to describe it with relatively similar terms from her vocabulary .

This caused Rolan to recall that Lan had said something similar before .

If the knowledge gap between two involved parties were too big, even descriptions would be difficult, much less comprehension .

But Isabella's newly developed ability proved that Magic Stones were not proprietary products of the demons .

If magic power could one day be hailed as a new branch of education, her tests and experiments would most probably be the starting point .

"No one can help you on this path, but it is because of that, that it is worth the try . " Roland encouraged .

"I will do my best," Isabella replied . "One more thing . I discovered a fascinating phenomenon . Agatha's guess might not be wrong . God's stones might actually be living things . "
