"What''s the matter, Crystal? You don''t look so good." Rufus eyed me worriedly.
"Don''t you think that the forbidden forest is too... Peaceful?" As I spoke, I cautiously headed
towards the forbidden forest''s entrance. "Five years ago, I used a trick to kill the witch, Noreen. But
because her bones couldn''t be destroyed, I asked Laura to bury them in the forbidden forest to keep
her magic at bay."
"Yes, and from then on, the forbidden forest has been shrouded in dark mist all year round, as
though something evil lurked within." Only then did Rufus suddenly realize that something was
wrong. "You''re right. The dark mist is gone!"
I peered into the depths of the forbidden forest and added, "Ordinary people might not be able to
feel it, but because I''m also a ck witch, I can sense that something''s off. Every time I got too
close to the forbidden forest, I could feel that gloomy, ominous aura. Besides, I specifically
reinforced the seal just some time ago, but now, the aura has disappeared..." The more I analyzed
the situation, the more anxious I felt. If I couldn''t feel the ominous aura, it only meant that there was
something wrong with Noreen''s burial ce.
Rufus''s expression darkened. "How about we check it out?"
I nodded in agreement.
Rufus then sent a group of soldiers to go inside the forbidden forest with us.
I followed Rufus to the big tree that was supposed to suppress Noreen''s powers. The dark mist in
the sky
was no longer there, but the burial ce seemedpletely intact. There was no sign of the soil
being loosened or dug up.
I squatted down to inspect the sand on top. It was untouched. It seemed that no one else had
passed by this ce since Ist saw it.
Then I secretly manipted my power as a ck witch to scan the surrounding area for changes.
Miraculously, the seal that I reinforced some time ago was still there.
If that was the case, then there shouldn''t have been a problem with Noreen''s remains.
The surrounding areas were lit by the soldiers ''mps. I walked around the seal twice. Everything
was normal except for theck of an ominous aura.
This made things even weirder.
"Could Noreen''s bones have eroded into the soil?" Rufus wondered.
I frowned and mulled over the possibility. "Unlikely. Noreen''s bones couldn''t be destroyed by fire, let
alone soil."
"What if we exhume her body? We have to see it with our own eyes to rest assured," Rufus
suggested, worry written all over her face.
I looked up at the sky and saw that it wasn''t thatte, so I agreed.
"Okay, let''s exhume her body. I''d like to see if Noreen cane back to life after being dead for so
long."
Rufus also sent for reinforcements in case something bad happened.
When reinforcements came, the whole forbidden forest was lit up by theirmps.
I took the shovel and started to dig up Noreen''s grave. I didn''t want to risk anyone else getting
close, so I did it alone.
The deeper I dug, the more pungent the air became.
Atst, it gave off the unpleasant metallic smell of blood.
I couldn''t help but vomit. Rufus refused to let me continue digging and took the shovel from me. Two
other soldiers helped him dig.
I sat aside and watched as the hole got deeper and bigger. At that time, Laura and I were so
cautious that we deliberately buried Noreen''s remains very deep into the earth.
At some point, Rufus'' shovel connected with something hard, and gradually, the top of the white
coffin was exposed. Then its entirety was revealed. The rectangr coffin appeared in front of
everyone. Around the coffin, there were mysterious runes that were specially used to suppress evil
things.
I had also used some runes to prevent others from getting to the coffin. Once someone touched the
coffin, he or she would instantly fall ill and be overwhelmed with pain.
I walked over and told everyone to step back. Then I chanted a spell in my heart to remove the seal
on the coffin.
