Because from beginning to end, just as she blessed all witches, the witches also blessed her.
It wasn't just one person.
"Then let us discern the intention."
The silent, hourglass-like spirits were abruptly stilled, ushering in their new life.
Jiang Kehan saw it: countless butterfly-like parts fluttering their wings, surging upwards, reborn, bringing beauty back to the world.
And those parts that resemble flowers and plants, in the stillness, happily fall away, transforming into an indispensable part of the object, witnessing all of this.
A miracle was born, from the fingertips of the two witches.
Tanya had already closed her eyes. She still needed to gradually adapt to such a huge and meticulous requirement, even if it would be somewhat arduous and tiring.
Jiang Kehan, on the other hand, felt that her control over magic was leaping forward at a speed beyond her imagination.
From its original weakness, it reached an exaggerated level that only a great witch could possess, seemingly a testament to her efforts.
After Jiang Kehan had fully recovered from the experience, Tanya released her hand and gave her a gentle, yet firm, hug.
It was as if they were saying their final goodbye.
Jiang Kehan wanted to hug Tanya back, but could only watch helplessly as the other gradually became transparent, opened her arms, and embraced death.
"Finally, let me step into death itself alone, to bless, to witness, to set free those indomitable souls."
Tanya's transparent figure grew ever larger, like a reflection of the starry sky.
But at the last moment, she mischievously opened her eyes, gently moved her lips towards Jiang Kehan, unwilling to say goodbye.
She said: Don't be sad, we will meet again in the near future.
Tanya closed her eyes wearily, but her smile revealed enduring happiness. Without giving Jiang Kehan a chance to say anything, she tossed her and Ye Yu high into the air and brought them back to reality.
Until it completely dissipates.
The once ceaseless roaring Stream of the Underworld paused slightly, gradually becoming calm, as if it were lamenting, or as if it had become Tanya's bed, gently covering her with blankets.
Therefore, this place should be completely closed.
Back in reality, Jiang Kehan silently gazed at the canyon that had sealed the boundary between reality and the Netherworld, as if she were seeing Tania's smile, remaining speechless for a long time.
"We should go," Ye Yu said softly after waiting for a long time.
"Her story has come to a temporary end, but our trials have just begun, Kehan."
“I know.” Jiang Kehan swept away the sorrow in her eyes, regained her original appearance, and smiled, as if she did not want to disappoint someone’s good intentions. “Besides, some bad things should also enter the cycle of reincarnation.”
"Tanya told me that you should never tolerate hatred!"
Because I must protect the love I cherish...
Jiang Kehan resolutely turned around and headed towards a nearby village to make final preparations and catch up on her studies for the impending war.
And accompanying her was Ye Yu, who was smiling.
However, when Jiang Kehan arrived at the village, she saw a phantom that shouldn't have been there.
Eva examined her changes, nodded in satisfaction, and then reached out her hand with a slightly cruel smile.
“You have grown a lot, from the Abyss.”
"But you're not the only one growing up, Kehan. Come with me to witness the so-called witch's wrath."
"Our war is about to begin."
Jiang Kehan looked at Eva with a sudden realization, and her smile gradually turned cruel and unrestrained.
Yes, Tania gave meaning to the death of all things, and so the witch's revenge will begin.
However, Jiang Kehan declined Aiwa's offer.
“I want to walk back to Riemann step by step, Eva-sensei.” She looked at Eva with a determined gaze and made a rebellious move.
"It's too early for me to step into the audience now; I want to see more witches."
"Go and see the things I used to overlook."
Eva was surprised, but then even more satisfied.
"Then go ahead. It seems you prefer to take revenge yourself rather than be protected by us."
"But it's okay. As a teacher, you always have to let go. Your future belongs to you."
Just like Tania's narrow-mindedness, and the other witches' fanaticism.
The same soil can produce drastically different flowers. All the witch can offer to those who come after her is the opportunity to reach out and grasp the future.
But Jiang Kehan's journey as a great witch has only just begun.
She has enough time to become someone like Tanya, Eva Carson, or Keva Miller, or even to surpass them.
Chapter 371 New Spells
Strolling across the somewhat desolate land, Jiang Kehan casually told Ye Yu stories about the time they spent asleep, finding a rare moment of leisure in the process.
A slight breeze swept across the ankle-deep dry grass, and a shadow seized the opportunity to quickly approach Jiang Kehan from behind, like a shark lurking in the shadowy sea, its movements accompanied by the sound of waves, watching intently.
Jiang Kehan suddenly stopped, her brows furrowing in helplessness. She had originally intended to let this level 3 kid go, but she hadn't expected him to turn against her and see her as prey.
So she reached out, and the slender snake that had suddenly leaped out of the sea of shadows fell into her hand as if it had walked into a trap. Then, with a gentle pinch, she dislocated the snake's head and put the corpse into her material bag.
Ye Yu watched this scene and nodded slightly, showing a rare hint of appreciation.
"I never imagined your control over magic had reached this level. It's like night and day since we first met."
Jiang Kehan smiled shyly. The fact that she could be regarded as prey by a level 3 slender snake and capture it so easily was all thanks to her control over magic.
Now she can completely suppress the fluctuations of her magic, and to other creatures, she is almost indistinguishable from roadside weeds.
Furthermore, by using magic to detect things, one need not fear being detected by any creature other than a witch; one can cover a range of a thousand meters around oneself at any time and control the entire situation.
Because her effective killing range against level 6 creatures is only one kilometer.
If Jiang Kehan were to go hunting now, she could easily use these advantages to outmaneuver most creatures below level 7.
But Ye Yu's demands on her went beyond that.
"But that's the only thing worth boasting about, even though it's all thanks to Tanya."
Ye Yu's expression turned somewhat serious. He raised his head slightly, watching the increasingly strong wind stir up the grass and trees, feeling the "whoosh" sound, as if he could see the calm gaze of the night-blooming jasmine.
"To resolve this historical anomaly, you'll need to be able to hunt an 8th-level dragon on your own."
"Furthermore, considering the extremely demanding feats required for you to become a Great Witch, you may need to reach this combat power at the peak of the Middle Witch stage."
Jiang Kehan frowned slightly as she fell into thought.
"Do you have enough time?"
Having witnessed so many things, Jiang Kehan had almost passed the stage of doubting whether she could accomplish this seemingly impossible task. What worried her more was the time.
According to Ye Yu, the most noticeable historical anomaly occurred after the start of the Witch Civil War, which was only a few months away.
Even Blake took more than a year to reach this level on his own.
As for why she doesn't compare herself to those like Theresa, Jiang Kehan is quite self-aware. Comparing her talent to those freaks would only be humiliating.
These are beings who stand at the pinnacle of history, and their magical properties are more suitable for growth than hers.
Strictly speaking, Jiang Kehan is the kind of witch who has accumulated knowledge and experience before unleashing her full potential.
"There's still time. If you can make good use of your talents during the war, you can basically push your magic power to over 12."
"With the spells I've learned, which are more than three times the level of the Society's era, although there are some limitations, we should be able to achieve our goal."
Jiang Kehan saw the anxiety in Ye Yu's eyes, so she didn't say anything more and just nodded silently.
However, deep down, I sensed the gravity of the situation.
It is highly likely that Ye Yu already knew the extent of this historical anomaly, which is why he was so worried.
But... why did her strength dissipate? Is there really anyone in this era who can hold Ye Yu back?
Jiang Kehan's thoughts began to wander. Under Eva's tutelage, she was no longer the witch who lacked any sense of the big picture.
Now that the clues have been revealed, we can surely follow the trail step by step to find out what Ye Yu has been hiding.
She needs some time, but that's exactly what she lacks most.
Jiang Kehan sighed helplessly, but did not hesitate. Instead, she continued to walk towards the next village, facing the wind. Involuntarily, she raised Ningxiao in her hand, and her gaze narrowed slightly when Ye Yu could not see her.
All she could do was pick up her sword and protect what she wanted to protect.
For example, the late night when something is being concealed.
After arriving at the village, the two did not linger and rented a quiet room to learn new spells.
Jiang Kehan refused to return to Riemann with Eva for this reason.
Eva will definitely keep her by her side and train her, so she will have almost no chance to learn these obviously abnormal spells.
It's easy to slip up, and then it won't be easy to fool people.
After Jiang Kehan placed the crucible and other props, Ye Yu jumped to the ground and looked at Jiang Kehan seriously as he spoke.
"How are you doing with the two spells I taught you?"
"With the support of 'Illusion' without regard to cost, I am invincible for 2 to 3 seconds against a level 7 dragon's attack. The exact duration depends on whether the opponent is skilled in spatial rules."
"The scorching flames are already strong enough to reach level 7 and deal damage to level 8 creatures."
Jiang Kehan responded, and then showed it to Ye Yu again.
Ye Yu looked at Jiang Kehan in silence, a hint of heartache flashing in her eyes. This was almost twice as difficult as she had anticipated. As the creator of these two spells, she knew the difficulty better than anyone else.
Especially the Scorching Flame spell, which can only be rapidly improved in battle, since its principle is to burn oneself in order to ignite the opponent's soul.
After a moment of distraction, Ye Yu quickly composed himself and nodded to Jiang Kehan with satisfaction.
“Very good, far exceeding my expectations. Next, I will teach you how to refine the level 7 scorching potion, and I will also teach you three other spells to ensure that you can handle more difficult situations on your own.”
"My areas of expertise are in incantation, arcane, and magic weaving."
"Basically, I can only teach you the spells of invocation and the Arcane. However, considering the time and the improvement of combat power, I will focus on teaching you the spells of the Arcane school."
The spells of the Prayer school emphasize practice and typically have a long learning period, unlike those of the Arcane school.
