âWhat?â Astor and Agatha both jumped slightly.

âThe warlock himself told you that? Could he still be alive?â
âWho is he then?â
Since Agathaâs mother was a citizen of the Witch Kingdom, she was familiar with some matters within
the place. Despite this, she honestly had no idea who the warlock was.
Tiffany responded. âThatâs because I received his legacy. I got every single thing and information on the
Witch cult from that.â
Astor spoke up. âI think you should give up on that legacy. Whatever that Witch Curse is, itâs quite
literally had. It harms and kills people, and it is born from pure evil⦠Oh, by the way, may I ask
something? What kind of person were you before receiving the legacy?â
Astor

Tiffany huffed. âThe Witch cultâs goal had always been to save every living being and help the Witch
Kingdom rise back up to its glory. We would be able to chase the Undead away from this universe too.â
âThe bloodthirsty and evil methods of the Witch cult are actually just one of our flaws. Itâs all because of
the current law power Within the universe. Itâs no longer just as abundant as the ancient times. When
the kingdom was in its best era, the Witch trait was everywhere, and now thereâs only 0.0001 percent of
it leftâ¦â
âSo if one wants to keep going down their journey as a witch, they would have to use other methods.
The process is basically the same as long as they donât stray too far from their path.â
Astor shook his head, he naturally disagreed with her views, but they had to get back to the main topic.

Tiffany meant that she could communicate with the warlock through her divine consciousness for a
brief while when she was receiving the legacy. He told her that His current body was within the
Pantheon Tomb and wanted her to find and revive Him.
Agatha frowned. âI think something is wrong with this warlock too. If we really were to revive him, the
results might not be optimistic.â
After a brief pause, she continued. âBut the Pantheon Tomb might be a viable way.â
Astor said, âIâll go ask the Mystic Maiden.â
Astor
Alex
The two then proceeded to leave his mind palace. As Astorâs consciousness returned to his body, he
immediately went to look for the Mystic Maiden. Agatha followed him as well.
Astor
Alex
Upon hearing all this, the Mystic Maiden was confused. âThe warlock is in the Pantheon Tomb?â
Agatha said, âAstor mentioned that he brought you out of the Pantheon Tomb before. Iâd like to askâ¦
How did you end up inside the tomb? What happened there?â
Astor
Alex
The Mystic Maiden shook her head. âI have no recollection of this anymore. Everythingâs a blur.â
Astor tried helping her remember. âI do. I saw your grave at the very corner of the Pantheon Tomb.
Your grave was very different from the others. It was blank. It didnât give out a single piece of
information about you. And it was the smallest one. Everyone elseâs grave had names, at the very
least. Some even had their achievements carved in and were much bigger.â
Astor
Alex
The Mystic Maiden took a while to think to herself, but still, it was to no avail. In the end, she said, âI
canât remember anything at all, so itâs useless asking me now. Itâs probably because my soul had been
heavily injured in the past. If I can find my body again, I might be able to remember something.â
The Mystic Maidenâs identity was rather mysterious in itself, after all.
Agatha nodded. âLooks like we have to make a trip to the Undead Territory.â
Astor asked, âShould we look for Revealer Maha in the nether realm or to look for the Pantheon Tomb
first?â
Astor
Alex
He figured it was best to plan ahead before they actually took action.
Agatha replied. âLetâs go to the Undead Territory first.â
If they went to the nether realm to look for the Revealer Maha, theyâd be looking for the entrance to the
Dairaionji Temple. Theyâd be able to lend their power then and find the way to the Ancient Path. Such a
mission would take years, even decades, to succeed. Moreover, if the secret to defeating the Undead
was, in fact, hidden in the Pantheon Tomb, looking into that would be their greatest priority as of now.

Astor took another glance at his father in the Ancestral Bodhi Tree. The process was much smoother
than he had expected. The soul planting mark on William had almost faded at this point, with Shelly
and Ancestor Bodhi monitoring at the side.
