Chapter 77: When the Tragedy Ends

The bright light drowned everything out, and the witches, who’d laughed throughout the entire battle, finally shrieked in pain.

The “witch” was only supposed to materialize when it was attacking, but for some reason, the intense light of the people’s hearts had no regard for the rules. The abomination was weakening.

Ellize, who’d been at the receiving end of the witch’s grudge, had an inkling why. When it had flowed into her, she’d died almost instantly because her body couldn’t withstand it. Before her passing, she’d still felt like a part of the witch’s memories and feelings had started streaming into her.

This “witch” was an aggregate of the previous witches’ negative emotions. Starting with Eve and her overdeveloped ability to take in mana, they’d all accumulated more darkness than they could handle. After their death, their twisted mana had endured, merging with their predecessors’ and seeking the next heart to inhabit. Over the past thousand years, this twisted mana had done nothing but grow, until eventually, it had turned into the abomination before them—negativity and darkness in its purest form. That was why no spell was strong enough to destroy it.

For example, if a person consumed by hatred were hit, cut, or even killed, it wouldn’t do anything to erase their hatred. The same could be said of a jealous person. Blasting a powerful spell at them wouldn’t make them any less jealous.

The source of the personified darkness was disillusionment—despair of humanity. The witches had ended up wondering whether helping people when they were so horrible was truly worth it. And trying to challenge that feeling with brute strength could only yield the reverse effect. The more the people feared and hated the “witch,” the more those feelings seeped into the ambient mana, strengthening the monster.

But then, what could be done to defeat the “witch”?

Well, the answer was surprisingly straightforward: shower it with positivity.

Now, for another example—imagine that someone hurt you. You’d naturally start disliking—or even hating—them. Now, imagine that this same person saved your life. Your hatred would soon fade in the face of the new, more powerful positive feeling you’d develop. Another analogy could be that of a child who hated wasabi and mustard. If they grew to like it, they’d eventually forget about their past distaste for it. In other words, one could grow to love something or someone they used to hate, and naturally, the reverse could happen too. Any specific feeling could be offset by one directly opposing it.

Since the “witch” had fallen into despair because of the ugliness of the human heart, all Ellize had to do was show it the beauty and light that lay underneath it. (In truth, Ellize was so done with being blinded by that light that she couldn’t wait to dump it onto someone else.)

“The witch is in pain! Nothing else worked, but this...” Verner whispered, flabbergasted.

He didn’t understand why this had worked on the seemingly invincible enemy. To be fair, he was also confused about the process itself.
