Chapter 876: The Taste Of Origin Magic [Part 3]
Forty years ago, Sofia, who hailed from a Magical Family, dreamed of exploring the wonders of Magic.
Unfortunately, her dream of becoming part of the Magical World didn’t open its doors to her.
Why?
Why was such an innocent dream not realized?
It was because even though she was born from a Magical Family, she was someone whom the magical world referred to as a Dud.
Duds were Wizards and Witches who barely had any magical power in their bodies. The kind that, even if they could cast magic, it was faulty at best.
Even so, she still decided to follow her dream and enrolled in Nightfall Academy.
She might be a Dud, but she had learned to cast at least simple spells, like summoning a small light that was just as strong as the light from a small candle.
In her mind, she believed that if she worked hard enough, if she endured hard enough, and if she grit her teeth hard enough, one day, she would be able to break the limitations that bound her mortal vessel.
But the prize of the hard work she put in while she was at Nightfall Academy was discrimination, bullying, and ridicule.
The four years she spent in the academy were the most miserable years of her life.
Her family didn’t want anything to do with her.
Her teachers gave up on her.
Friends? She had a handful, but even they dared not help her whenever the stronger Witches treated her like a slave.
Desperate and hurt deeply, she tried to find a solution by studying Dark Magic and any kind of Forbidden Magic.
Simply put, Sofia had been pushed to despair that she was willing to sell her soul to the devil in exchange for the power she wished for.
Unfortunately, no Angel, Demon, or Devil answered her call, leaving her alone in a world where people like her were shunned by those with power.
After graduating from the academy, she spent twenty years scouring the Shire Continent for any ancient texts or artifacts that might help Duds like her.
She wanted to become their beacon, their hope, their Messiah.
That being who would allow the Duds to raise their heads high and take revenge on those who had looked down on them, those who had hurt them, and those who had humiliated them, almost forcing them to commit suicide out of desperation.
Beaten and broken, Sofia accidentally stumbled into an ancient dwelling that was protected by Ancient Firbolg Magic.
It was a place where no Wizards, Witches, or any Magical Creatures could enter due to the strong protection that barred their way.
It was a place left untouched for hundreds of years, and as Sofia explored this ancient dwelling, she came across the Black Cauldron of the Firbolgs.
“Do you want power?”
That was the question that the Black Cauldron had asked of her the moment her hands touched its surface.
The answer to this question was an easy Yes.
“Then I will help you gain the power you wish for. In exchange, you will free me from the seal that binds me.”
Sofia didn’t care what kind of creature was sealed inside the Cauldron.
She only cared about getting what she wanted, even if it meant unleashing hell upon the Magical World.
After destroying the seal on the cauldron, Sofia came face to face with a Genie.
A Genie who granted a single wish.
“Drop your blood on the Cauldron of Twilight,” the Genie said. “Bind your soul to it and become its Master.”
Upon obeying the Genie’s command, Sofia became the owner of the Cauldron of Twilight, which the Firbolgs created to imitate the Cauldron of the Dagda that belonged to the Tuatha De Danann.
Both cauldrons were Ancient Relics, but their powers were different.
The Cauldron of Dagda nourished living beings.
The Cauldron of Twilight took away their powers.
The Cauldron had been created to fight against Fomorians, who possessed great magical powers.
Anyone who was trapped inside its Domain would not be able to use magic.
The only downside was that it could only affect one person at a time.
It was a trump card meant to target the strongest champion of the Fomorians so that its owner could kill them inside its Domain.
When Sofia captured her first Witch, who was at the time conducting her Field Mission, she felt guilty about it.
However, when she learned that the Witch that she had captured was the granddaughter of one of the Witches who had bullied her in Nightfall Academy, she thought that the world must be helping her take revenge.
The moment she first ate an Origin Crystal, which was extracted from the Witch, she saw that Witch’s life story and found it fascinating.
All Wizards and Witches were born with that power.
As they grew older, their Origin Magic grew along with them.
It was the record of the culmination of their magical journey, and after she ate it, she gained the wisdom and magic power of the Witch whom the Origin Crystal was taken from. “Delicious…” Sofia muttered as the power she longed for all her life washed over her body. Not only did it nourish her magical circuits, but it also nourished her vessel, allowing her to appear a few years younger.
“The more Origin Crystal you consume, the more powerful you will become. You will also regain your youth, allowing you to live the life you’ve always wanted. I have kept my promise, so I will leave you now. If Fate wills it, we shall meet again.”
After saying those words, the Genie left behind Sofia, who had become addicted to and drunk on the new power she possessed.
Like a child who had been given a new toy, she happily cast the spells that she hadn’t been
able to in the past.
As for the Witch who had lost her powers?
The Cauldron of Twilight devoured her, keeping her inside its body for future use.
Use that only the Genie knew about.
This incident happened three months ago, and since then, Sofia had only targeted the Witches
of Nightfall Academy.
But after the first month, she changed her strategy and targeted any Witch her cauldrons came
across.
After all, the more Witches she captured, the stronger she would become.
Three months later, she not only gained the power she wished for but also regained her youth.
Ironically, the first person who thwarted her plan was none other than a Dud, who was now looking at her with a glare.
“Join me, Ethan,” Sofia repeated. “I will give you what you want. Power, influence, and
women.”
The smile on Sofia’s face widened.
“Lots of women. All the women you want—including these girls, who have become mere dolls now that they have lost their spark of magic.”
Ethan gently placed Samantha on the ground behind him and stood between her and the Witch, who believed that she had everything under her control.
“I won’t join you,” Ethan replied. “Give the Witches their powers back and surrender
yourself.”
A deep and long sigh escaped Sofia’s lips before she shook her head helplessly. “Ethan, My Dear Prince, I really don’t want to hurt you,” Sofia smiled. “You and I are the
same. You’re still young and full of dreams. But soon, you will understand that in the Wizarding World, only those who wield Magic have the right to speak.”
Sofia snapped her fingers, and countless small fireballs hovered around her body.
“I’ll ask you one more time,” Sofia stated. “Join me, and we will rule this world together.”
Ethan turned around and knelt down to look at Samantha’s eyes.
“Samantha, I don’t know if it will work, but can I ask a favor?” Ethan asked.
“Okay,” Samantha replied weakly. “Anything for you, Ethan.”
1.”
“I know that this is a bit sudden, but I need to kiss you.’
“… Okay.”
Samantha nodded.
She thought that Ethan must’ve felt as though he was going to die, so he wanted to share a
kiss with her before that happened.
Although she was surprised about his request, she agreed to it. Even if she was going to turn
to one of the lifeless dolls who were under Sofia’s control, she would like to have at least one
wonderful memory that she could carry with her to the afterlife.
Sofia giggled and didn’t do anything to stop this touching scene.
She found Ethan to her liking, and even now, she didn’t wish to hurt him.
‘I’ll make him understand sooner or later that being with me is the right choice,’ Sofia thought. ‘Once he’s tasted an Origin Crystal, he will have no choice but to follow me for life.” Under Sofia’s gaze, which was filled with amusement, Ethan pressed his lips on Samantha’s and gave the young lady a long and passionate kiss that made her young and despairing heart
skip a beat.
