Chapter 8 - Chapter 8

So, Adele focused herself and let her soul body do its own thing.

Her next ritual had high requirements but because of them, the initial needs for materials were left out, normal time witches wouldn't be so happy since they'd still need to use many materials to live past the two thousand years mark, but since Adele wasn't them, she didn't need to do that.

She just let her body float in the necklace a bit as the inscriptions that should've been extremely difficult were drawn on the ground below her. It wasn't that she was super talented, she was, but this wouldn't be possible regardless.

No, the necklace actually helped her. The necklace itself had many ritual inscriptions stored, they could be copied inside the necklace at any time. Although this seems to be helpful, it isn't truly. Normally, many items were needed, and very few rituals can be activated in the necklace, most need the laws of the outside world.

The first seal was one that only affected herself, so Adele was able to do it, and the second seal would also affect her, although she'd need to go out to activate it, since the ritual was for that anyways, there was no need to worry.

Originally, the display of rituals is a means to learn, but it didn't matter if it was abused this way anyways. At this moment, the inscriptions activated and shined brightly, then Adele's soul shined in turn and the feeling of old age came from it.

The energy of time seemed to scream from Adele's soul and the inscriptions that shined just know became incredibly dim until they were crushed. Spiritual energy floated out from it and it combined with an extreme rush of spiritual energy from the necklace.

It combined together and finally a spiritual seal forced above her reproductive organ.

Looking at both rituals, one might think that they didn't need to be sealed, but this thought is very wrong. The effect of any ritual outside the seals aren't permanent, there are exceptions and ways to make them permanent of course, but these are just different kinds of seals.

If one wanted a ritual to be permanent and be extremely effective, without becoming cursed, which happens with most other kinds of seals, then one needs to seal the ritual in themselves. This is very effective and has no disadvantage, except that such rituals as these two can only be used very rarely, the eternal name is a passive effect and only takes effect for certain rituals that require her to use her true name.

As for the second ritual… it is an extremely important ritual. The normal ritual is called Grand Reincarnation! Yes, this enables one to skip the river of reincarnation and directly reincarnate into a new body that constructs itself, even skipping the karma that would form naturally between parents and children as well as keeping the memories and the mortal coil that would be washed away.

Although one might think that the mortal coil is bad, it isn't at all. At least not for Adele, after all, the age of her soul is part of her mortal coil. If she were to purify herself of it, wouldn't she shoot herself into the foot?

The flaw here is that even though it consumes a whole seal, you can only activate it once. This is a great flaw, and you can't get rid of this seal either. Although seals are essential and you can basically not get rid of them, there are still some special means, but this isn't possible here. What a joke, the seal is responsible for your second life, if you destroy it, you simply die.

The changed ritual is called 'Grand Reincarnation of Eons'. There is an extremely important factor with this ritual and also one of the reasons why time witches are the most hated opponents of most other major organisations. If you don't have a chance to kill them young, then no one will risk making an opponent out of them.

This ritual… can be repeated! It obviously also has a flaw, that is, every reincarnation besides the first, which can be said to be the gift of having created this seal, will cost one a thousand years of soul age.

It means that after using it for a second time, your soul will regress in age. For time witches, the age of their soul is a huge resource, and they would become weaker every time they had to use it. The cost isn't low either, a whole thousand years.

The reincarnation wouldn't even be profitable if they die before they lived their whole life as a higher stage witch, not to mention die earlier. This means that theoretically, a time witch has three lives. The first is the free first reincarnation after forming the seal. They will most likely die soon afterwards, since two thousand years of age is truly beyond many limits.

The second and third lives will destroy their heritage, although the second reincarnation won't be too bad, the third, if they don't reach a high stage, will end up making them be in an infinite circle of dying and resurrecting but losing all their powers.

Some witches would go insane when that happens to them and they would rather end everything fully. This is one of the reasons time witches are extremely rare. Not to mention anything else, it is rare just being able to form the higher seal, only one in ten time witches is able to do so. Naturally this might sound like a high chance, but considering everything, how few of them would live truly forever?

But after all, the benefits are also huge. Any time a time witch lives beyond a thousand years, she become stronger. And a time witch such as Adele? She has eleven whole lives, although one will soon be consumed, ten lives are still a huge number.

If she's not an untalented fool, then reaching the peak is only a question of how many times she has to die. But this is also a reason why Adele planned to complete the most important seals as early as possible, the less important would come later.

This is exactly the reverse of other witches, but she had the best qualifications as long as she was in this timeline. Who knows which kind of accidents she'd suffer later? Only now, when her affinity is at the peak and she's able to fulfil the most difficult requirement for these rituals can she learn them.

She is sure of one thing: compared to other witches, she will be even weaker in her early stages, but her peak will be much higher. For this, she already has half a solution, it's only a question of whether she do what she wants.
