The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 135

“Since you say you know how to shapeshift, then I assume that you already understand the basic principle of controlling the magic inside your body? In shapeshifting, what you do is focus on the core of energy inside your heart and spread it to every inch of your body, right? I am not sure how you visualize this. This is a natural talent for someone like me so I don’t know if it’s the same for humans. I have been using it for a thousand years so I don’t even have to think. It’s more an instinct for me and my people.’

“Core of energy?” she asked.

Morpheus scratched his chin. “Magic power is the blessing of the world. Everything and everyone possesses magic inside their bodies, from trees to the river, from animals to elves and yes, even humans, but it depends on race and talent how to wield it.

“Humankind has no talent and their core of magic is so little, it’s negligible, that is why they naturally cannot use magic. Other races have powers from birth since they have a large core of magic inside their bodies. This is the case for shapeshifters and elves. With more practice, our people become more powerful because you become skilled in using what you have. That is why your origin and bloodline matters a lot.”

She didn’t know her origin and bloodline, but since she was able to use magic, did that mean she was not fully human? Gaia could also use magic. Was Gaia also not human?

Morpheus continued. “In performing basic magic spells, there are two very important factors—the ability to tap the magic in your core and the strength of your willpower to command that magic. Since my attribute is air, I only have to think—or rather, imagine how I want to control air. I spread my magic in the air and command the air infused with magic.

“For the butterflies to come, I make the air shake with a unique frequency to let out a sound that will call them to me. It’s a pretty high-level technique. Since you are just beginning, how about you first try to tap the magic core in your heart and instead of spreading it inside your body, try spreading it to the air outside your body?”_.

“Okay, I will try,” she said and closed her eyes.

Just like what Morpheus did earlier, she put her hand forward and tried to focus on the source of power inside her. ‘The magic inside my heart…try to spread in the air…’

On the other hand, Morpheus continued to look at this adorable human female whose face was firm with determination. He found it difficult to move his gaze away from her serious face.

‘Since when did humans start to be born like her? Why is she so different from those disgusting creatures?’ he continued to think about her, not knowing he was being pulled towards her.

The silence within the balcony didn’t last long as soon—

Swoosh!

Ember opened her eyes, feeling something had happened, only to be shocked at the view in front of her.

Flames.

For a split second, there was a sea of orange flames.

Those more than a hundred butterflies that turned the balcony into a beautiful colourful dream, all of them were on fire, and in a matter of seconds, their existence was reduced to nothing more than ashes.

Morpheus himself was shocked and stared at Ember whose one hand was still raised in front of her, the tips of her fingers noticeably trembling.

‘This human…did she just…?’
