Divine Incantation

At this moment, Aiden felt his consciousness turn into a blank slate, all other thoughts fading away, leaving only one resolve - to speak that divine incantation.

His physical transformation naturally kicked in; he didn't even need to recall it, his body reflexively shaping itself back to the state remodeled by the demon that had possessed him before.

Somewhere deep in his subconscious, a voice seemed to call out to him, urging him to break free from the shackles of his mortal body and reach out to touch the power of the divine!

Abigail's imparted divine incantation surfaced in his mind, etched deeply like a brand.

Subconsciously, Aiden opened his lips, uttering the words imbued with a power transcending that of mere mortals.

Priscilla, who had previously held the upper hand, suddenly felt this eerie sound infiltrate her mind, resonating like a deafening bell.

As a great witch acknowledged by Abigail, she immediately recognized this was Abigail's divine incantation.

Due to having adapted to expressions through a certain method in the past, this divine incantation did not erode her spirit. Nevertheless, a profound tremor exploded within the depths of her consciousness.

She could vaguely sense an invisible force attempting to tug at her consciousness, trying to detach it from this body that did not belong to her. Although this force had not grown to that extent, it undeniably existed.

The extraordinary power contained within this divine incantation was indeed taking effect!

This was a command, ordering all things in the world to revert to a "normal" state.

"Sensory disorientation" deactivated, "mental blockade" deactivated, "memory seal" deactivated... In an instant, all the mental spells Priscilla had cast on Aiden were completely dispelled.

As his vision cleared, Aiden abruptly turned around, fixing his gaze on Priscilla.

The Shadow Demon's tendrils sprouted in an instant, tightly binding Priscilla.

"You Inquisition are nothing but lapdogs for the rulers. Ultimately, the countries that signed the Covenant just want to tightly grip power under government control. They're so sickening that they'd exterminate anyone pursuing magic knowledge, good or evil, all in the name of justice!" Priscilla ranted indignantly, glaring at Aiden.

"As the Grand Witch who aims to unite the Witch Gathering against the state, your ideas are indeed radical," Aiden chuckled. "But the reasons for managing dark magic aren't as simple as you claim. Before the Covenant was signed, the number of cases caused by dark magic was several times what it is now. Although in my opinion, the current laws have indeed swung a bit too far. This era lacks inclusivity for witches like you, whose knowledge holds extraordinary value."

"Now, that doesn't sound like something a law enforcer should say, does it? Shouldn't the law be sacred and inviolable?" Priscilla retorted sarcastically.

"Being sacred and inviolable is just a slogan to urge people to obey the law. After all, there can be no order without rules. It's precisely because I'm a law enforcer that I should objectively examine the law. Laws always lag behind, and in any era or country, there has never been a truly perfect law. I respect rules but don't worship them. Rather than sticking to conventions, I prefer to fulfill my will as much as possible within the framework of the rules."

"Do you really intend to help me?" Priscilla furrowed her brow skeptically.

"I'm Not helping you, I'm planning to... make a deal with you," Aiden said earnestly, looking into Priscilla's eyes.

"A deal?" Priscilla still appeared doubtful. "You expect me to believe you?"

"I consider myself a decent trading partner; let's say it's a recommendation from your friend," Aiden smiled, pointing to the Shadow Demon tendrils entwined around Priscilla. "You know this one, don't you? This is the Shadow Demon summoned by Dailey, at my disposal. She and I have maintained this kind of mutually beneficial transaction."

Priscilla was stunned for A moment

"Let's have a good chat in prison," Aiden adjusted his hat, "although I haven't planned to offer you any other choices."
