The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 181

It was as if the orb that looked like a flame was isolated by an invisible barrier that didn’t let her move ahead. If she were to approach, she would suffocate. The more she tried, the stronger the suffocating force was, and she felt like gagging. It was same nausea she would have felt if her mortal body was being thrown down from somewhere high and was falling into the abyss.

With a deep gasp, Ember opened her eyes. Her entire body was trembling and covered in a cold sweat. The sensation that she was being suffocated did not go away and she felt weak, as if her legs would give up anytime.

“Miss? Miss?” the red-haired woman asked. “Healer! I need an elixir! Hurry! Miss? Can you hear me?”

Ember was about to collapse on the ground but the Fire Fae held her firmly. Soon, the servants that Draven assigned to keep watch approached to check on Ember’s condition. They let her sit on one of the chairs near the entrance of the training grounds.

“Miss Ember is not hurt, just fatigued. A bottle of the elixir is enough for her to recover,” the servant explained as she let the human drink one. In fact, the healer thought a good rest was sufficient for Ember, but as she’s the King’s mate, there was no need to be frugal with a measly elixir.

After a while, Ember was able to take a stable breath and thanked the servants. She stood up properly without needing support from Helia. It was a brief moment when she felt all of her energy was being sucked away by something, but she was back to normal again.

“Lady Helia, I…I think I saw it,” Ember said with mixed nervousness and excitement. She looked at Helia with a little doubtful gaze as she was not yet sure that it was what she was supposed to look for. “I think I found my energy core. I am not sure but—”

“You did well, Miss,” Helia smiled.

“I did?” Ember asked in surprise. “Was that really my energy core?”

“I felt it too. It is such a powerful energy core of the fire element. I have never come across anyone with such a strong Fire. Even my own Fire is not as strong as yours.”

Ember didn’t know what to say about it as she was not knowledgeable in these things. All she could feel was amazed at what she heard from Helia. _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}

Helia was a Fire Fae. She could not believe a human being like her possessed a stronger Fire than a fairy. At the same time, she felt excitement over the fact that she would be able to use magic soon.

“But…” she heard Helia, which pulled Ember’s attention back towards her.
