Chapter 401: "The Winners Define the definition of Justice!"

'Sadly, we can't. You'll have to get out of this mess by wading through it.'

Layla said and looked at the Hexen Bee that was immersed in an excessively large cauldron filled with a strange potion placed beside her. She sighed when she saw the bubbles still forming in the concoction her flying artefact was dipped in.

She carried on speaking without Eren asking her about it.

'I'll tell you before you ask. I can only guide Hexen Bee to a certain level, but I can't control it the way I want to. Let's just say that it has its consciousness that gets fatigued the more I use it. It is because I'm technically not someone who can use it effectively.

Eren smiled mirthlessly after hearing Layla's explanation. It sounded more like what used to happen to Alephee. He didn't understand how that stuff worked. But he at least realized that the young witch's flying artefact would remain inoperable for some time. It won't be the escape card he wanted it to be.
