Chapter 387.1
Alber paused, closing her eyes to delve into her thoughts. The information transmitted through the Ars family by Rahan was riddled with gaps. Despite Rahan’s insistence that he had witnessed the spell’s activation firsthand, his lack of magical understanding hindered his ability to convey the details accurately. It was similar to describing a camel based solely on touch, without ever having laid eyes on the creature.
Meanwhile, Rahan, disguised as a boy, observed Alber in silent contemplation. In Alber’s own dreams, she, too, took on the form of a young woman, mirroring his appearance as a boy. A pang of discomfort pricked at Rahan as he superimposed the image of the elderly woman he had encountered decades ago onto his thoughts. She must have once experienced vibrant, beautiful moments before being ensnared in that dark prison.
Opening his eyes, Alber’s gaze gleamed with determination. “I understand,” she declared.
Rahan’s smile brightened. “Do you know what type of magic it is?”
“Yes,” Alber affirmed. “It’s one of the ancient sealed magics. It’s astonishing that I remained oblivious until he stole and activated it. I was truly clueless.”
“Can’t we thwart the spell by destroying the magic?” Rahan proposed.
“As you know, successful spells possess inherent defensive mechanisms. Undoing them requires an understanding of the magic itself. You may only grasp its intricacies through firsthand experience… and he wouldn’t recklessly manage the magic,” Alber explained.
There are two methods to destroy the magic: untying the knot or cutting it. Untying the knot necessitates comprehension of the magic, and it’s time-consuming. Cutting it, on the other hand, doesn’t require magical knowledge but is more challenging.
Advanced magic wields formidable power once unleashed, requiring an external force of greater strength to counteract it. This condition practically renders it impossible for a human to achieve such a feat.
