Crystal's POV:

"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 black 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 place.

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
