Capítulo 190: Aftermath
As soon as Beatrice got out of eyesight distance of Matine City, she immediately began rising higher and higher into the sky, eventually going above the clouds.
A few moments after that, Beatrice also calmed down her mana, making it harder to detect as Beatrice stopped using it to assist her flight, instead only using her natural wings.
After that, Beatrice soon became invisible to the naked eye, allowing her to finally fall into thought and think about the next course of action.
'I can't waste much time in the Magic Continent, otherwise there's a good chance that the Wizard's Hand might find me...' thought Beatrice, aware of the fact that going back to Golwall Island was the only decent option that she had.
In fact, even if she went back, the Wizard's Hand would still try to hunt her, but in this case, Beatrice could just stay in her hideout and not go out, allowing her to easily be safe.
'Selena should keep her word,' thought Beatrice, aware of the personality of the older witch, as well as of the latter's tendencies.
From Beatrice's point of view, Selena probably still thought of her as useful, and would not abandon her, at least not just yet.
Soon after, Beatrice's thoughts shifted, as she began thinking about some other things.
...
As he stared at the headless corpse in front of her, as well as at this apprentice of his, who was standing next to it with a sad look present on her face, Archmage Arif couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"It's as you say, the attacker has completely destroyed the soul of your apprentice, there is no chance of resurrection unless time itself is turned back," said Arif he touched his beard, just slightly sad, as time had slowly but surely worn down his emotions.
Hearing the words of her teacher, Aphelia couldn't help but finally lower her head and nod, seemingly accepting that Arif could do nothing.
"I understand teacher..."
Seeing the look on the face of his apprentice, Arif couldn't help but want to slightly change the topic.
"Have you kept a bit of the aura of the first attack?" asked Arif, causing Aphelia to nod and take out a small glass bottle, which contained a small floating cloud of darkness.
"The Witch of Death, I didn't expect her to be so angered by the actions of your apprentice," mumbled Arif as he stared down at the headless corpse in front of him, feeling the tiny amount of foreign aura lingering on it.
'Young, just beginning to transform her soul, could in be Selena's apprentice?' thought Arif before finally decided what to do.
"Aphelia, draw the appearance of the mage in question, I'll give out a reward for any information about her from my own pocket," said Arif, deciding not to take too extreme of an action just yet, fearing that Selena would do something truly irresponsible.
As soon as she heard Arif's words, Aphelia's eyes instantly lit up.
"I understand teacher, I'll get to work," said Aphelia before quickly walking out of the room, leaving the old man behind.
As he stared at the surrounding room, which, outside of him and a corpse, was empty, Archmage Arif couldn't help but shake his head.
"How troublesome..." mumbled Arif as he snapped his fingers, causing Susan's corpse to begin floating.
...
A few days later,
As soon as Orrel laid eyes on the bounty poster in front of him, which had been distributed by the Wizard's Hand, he froze, as doubt appeared on his face.
For some reason, the bounty poster in front of him made Orrel feel a little bit weird, causing him to suddenly begin digging through his memory, searching for someone that matched the appearance of the person on it.
Merely a few moments later, as memories from over a decade ago rushed into his mind, Orrel couldn't help but fall silent for a few moments, as he remembered a certain former apprentice of his that he had forgotten about a long time ago.
"Taken in by Selena... how interesting..." mumbled Orrel as a vein appeared on his forehead.
Although Orrel did not know what actually happened, he immediately theorized that Selena had actually stolen his disciple.
For a few moments, Orrel became angry, but after he remembered the fact that Selena had become an Archmage, and he was far from that level right now, Orrel's anger disappeared, causing him to simply fall silent.
From that day, as the wanted posters from the Wizard's hand were distributed, a large majority of the mages from the magic continent became aware of Beatrice's appearance, making it so that if she retained her original appearance, Beatrice wouldn't be able to go anywhere without being recognized.
Sadly for the Wizard's Hand, by now, Beatrice was no longer on the Magic Continent.
...
As she looked at Selena, who was currently staring at a piece of paper with a smile on her face, Beatrice, who had just arrived, couldn't help but feel a little bit weird, causing her to arrive at Selena's side silently.
"As expected of my descendant, you have my charm from when I was younger..." mumbled Selena as she handed the piece of paper to Beatrice, allowing her to see its contents.
As she stared at her realistic image, as well as at the words 'The Witch of Darkness', which were written below it, alongside a small description of her, Beatrice nearly tore up the poster.
'It seems as though returning to the magic continent will need to be delayed by a few years, at least until people forget about me...' thought Beatrice.
Sadly, the memory of both Mage Apprentices and Official Mages was very good, making such a thing very unlikely.
A moment later, Selena suddenly snapped her fingers, causing Beatrice to fall to the ground.
...
As she opened her eyes and stared at the familiar room in front of her, Beatrice couldn't help but become a bit annoyed.
"Couldn't you have at least warned me?" mumbled Beatrice as she got up from the ground as stared at Selena, who was currently holding the notebook that Beatrice desired so much in her hands, and was currently writing something into it.
