Reincarnated As A Wolf With Cheats

Chapter 152 The Witch's Story - Part 3

Their bodies didn't have that great of direct mana affinity. This meant that they required special arts to perform even the simplest of the spells.

Yes, the same applied for healing or other buffs given by other races to them.

That is the sole reason why they make potions and other things to supplement their lives and other things – and this was one of the reasons that made them one of the strongest empires out there.

Unfortunately, that was no longer true. Their empire now ceased to exist or to be precise, their empire was destroyed by the humans who crowned some other wizard as the king who would be nothing more than a pawn for them.

Kaily and the man earlier were of that empire. In fact, she was the eldest princess of the empire and the man was the king – Varie Rin Von.

And Kaily's full and real name was Kalierin Von.

"You have been asleep for two days…", the arb elf said to the elf who had bandages made out of leaves around her wrist, the normal elf.

"What?"

"Two days?!", she was a bit surprised but it was understandable.

She had expended almost all of her energy so rest for two days was fine, in fact, it was actually early for her.

Sometimes elves take tons of days to just rest which is nothing for them since their life spans are longer than normal races or beasts. So yes, it wasn't that surprising.

"What about the girl?", the elf asked.

"Ah, she is outside…"

"I think she is fine physically, but mentally she is a bit unstable.", the arb elf concluded.

She somewhat seemed like a doctor and was probably a doctor indeed.

"I see…", the elf lowered her head.

The arb elf asked about what had happened and she explained everything properly – about the humans and everything.

The arb elf concluded that it was a good thing that she brought towards them, of course, it was a wise decision.

Everything seemed fine at the moment, but the girl was still not well.

She had to recover completely, after all, mentally that is.

That was why other elves were trying to keep her engaged.

All of them seemed somewhat the same – they were of the same height and seemed quite alike.

'The Arb elves are quite young…' – this is what the normal elf concluded.

Yes, even elves didn't know about their huge secret of aging which was closely related to mana.

She walked out and met Kaily and started to interact with her by telling her everything about what had happened.

The elf didn't hide anything and said everything clearly since she deserved to know.

Of course, she didn't say what she didn't know about – the potions of attracting monsters.

She covered everything and finally said that she was going to look after her and so it happened.

They went away to the edge of the side of the forest where there were comparatively fewer monsters. It was the east side of the forest, to be precise – southeast.

The monsters there were a bit fewer since it was the edge. That was a common thing, but other than that, the humans and other beings didn't interfere.

They didn't have the liberty to do that and couldn't do that.

There was no kingdom nearby and the witch and the elf decided to settle down there. Of course, their first mission was to find the witches that had gone into hiding.

Kaily didn't want to return to her kingdom since she slowly understood what had happened – how her own uncle destroyed his father's rule and everything else.

That was the moment she started to hate humans and her hate only grew when the elf, who had decided to live her life for the witch ended up dying at the hands of the humans.

Yes, although kingdoms hadn't been built near those southeast areas, the humans did explore the place.

Since there were no exact rules and policies back then, the humans would kill any and everything on their way.

In search of land to build a kingdom, the humans murdered the elf who was taking care of the witch.

Kaily was just 18 years when this had happened. She was practicing witchcraft that her father had left behind in a ring that she wore.

"I will bring some fruits…"

"We will celebrate your 18th birthday with joy!" – was what the elf had said before leaving.

Unfortunately, she never returned.

With that, she found out via a crystal ball that the elf was killed when she never returned after going to get some fruits.

*drip drip*

Tears ran down her eyes thinking about what had happened.

'Those were her last words?'

Witches were different from humans because they practiced witchcraft, their lifespan was usually increased.

Yes, they could easily live over 100 or 150 years while humans would only live 90-100 years.

She was sad and in pain.

"Revenge…"

"I want revenge against humans!"

"I want revenge for my parents, for my family, and for…"

"Her…", she mentioned the elf, thinking about whom, her heart would burst.

That was when she decided to create such witchcraft that nobody had ever seen.

And the very first one that she created was – the witchcraft of barrier.

With this, no one could find her.

As time passed by, the empire of the witches and wizards stood firmly, though it kept getting weaker.

Kaily never thought about going back and taking revenge, instead, she wanted to just destroy the humans.

Of course, while preparing special destructive potions, she realized that too much time had passed.

Yes, after finishing all those potions, she found no meaning in getting revenge now when no one even remembered about her.

She was matured enough to think about everything carefully.

She spent her entire life without actually doing anything other than making potions. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was the best potion maker in the world.

Of course, while she was preparing many potions, she created a potion to lose her human-like form since she had started to hate the humans.

The hate was so terrible that she really made and drank such a potion after which her form changed to be a hybrid of many creatures.

It was only later that she regretted these things but now nothing could be done.

She did create the reverse potion, however, that potion wasn't powerful enough to contradict the effects of the potion that she drank earlier to lose her human form.

"…"

And that form of potion was specially made to counter curses. Whatever she never threw it away and kept it safely in her spatial storage.

Yes, every since then she kept on aging and got tremendously powerful, but at the same time, she retained the child-like heart.

Due to the change in the body that would occur every 3 hours, she remained young physically till now.

She was not a bad person despite thinking about acts of revenge. But yes, she surely wasn't straight at the same time.

She always looked for things to do an experiment.

Whatever now she was in front of Shin and was acting like a coward only to see if he was any different from other races.

That was the sole reason she had used the rage potion to see if he could keep his cool.

But the fact that he was able to detect her potions was indeed quite impressive. She had used it in front of beasts that were of a much higher order – a dragon or similar ones. Even they couldn't detect it.

So she was a bit flustered by what had happened.

"So your name is Kaily?", Shin asked.

"Y-yes."

"You can call me that.", she nodded her head.

She was no bigger than Shin, however, from inside she could still feel that she was far from reaching Shin's level.

She might have mastered making potions, but there were tons of things that she hadn't mastered yet. Her knowledge had been stuck as the same old things despite the era had been passing.

"…"

Shin heard everything that she said clearly. In fact, for him, it was like hearing some past or a story that made him go through many different types of feelings.

'Indeed…'

'Humans are hated aren't they…'

'And I am trying to become like them.' – what he meant by this was that he was trying to attain the human form.

Was that really beneficial? Wouldn't it just backfire?

He started thinking about many things too. Things relating to losing family and revenge, those things occupied his mind.

"So you don't want revenge anymore?" – Shin asked.

"Eh?"

She was startled by the sudden question.

"N-", she was about to answer right before which Shin intervened.

"Think carefully…"

"Do you want to have revenge or not.", Shin glared at her when he asked the second time.

All of a sudden chills ran down her spine and she was reminded of the times when she lost her father and her dear close elf who raised her.

Her blood basically started to boil because of that.

'I want to kill them if you ask honestly…'

'But I'm a nine hundred years old hag…'

'Will I really be able to do that?', she questioned herself.

'Ya, I just choose no-', and she was about to tell that out loud when she gazed at Shin's eyes that were glowing with the same green light as earlier.

*gulp*

'Those eyes…'

'They are attracting me…', she said to herself.

"Y-"

"Yes…"

"I want revenge for all my loved ones…", she said in a low but audible voice.

"…"

To be continued…
