Chapter 47: Testing the Powers of Shadows
What a strange feeling being near her. The ritual itself went well, and now my dear Ravenna is here practicing magic in a room normally used by mages for study, but there’s something very, very wrong.
She seems to have calmed down, or perhaps, become less violent. Is it a phenomenon similar to having some kind of enlightenment where she just becomes wiser? I’m not sure, but that’s what it looks like.
The elf Illonar left early, saying his duty was done and he intended to return to the elf kingdom. I asked for an escort to accompany him. I might be a son of a bitch, but I won’t be ungrateful for someone’s help.
With that resolved, we need to check the firepower Ravenna gained after the ritual, which in itself is making me a bit anxious.
If she really got stronger, does that mean she can go head-to-head with Leonhardt? No, I don’t think so. That guy’s cheats are too absurd for just a power-up like this to solve.
Anyway, let’s get straight to the point, better to inform myself than beat around the bush.
"Hey, can you tell me exactly what happened in there?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because it’s intimate and very personal. you don’t need to understand."
Seriously?! The thing most portrayed as dark, edgy, and all that is going to be rubbed in my face like this? Go to hell, I finally wanted to satisfy my curiosity, and now I’ll have to do it myself to find out?! Hah, honestly, what a shitty novel.
"Then can you at least show me your... thing? What was its name?"
