Chapter #134
The first time Cheryl ever saw a wizard overcome with malignity was back when Ethan had manifested. His eyes were out of focus and the wind he scattered around was as sharp as knives. She became a total scaredy-cat in the face of his manic stare. It was Ethan, but not really.
After being frozen to the spot, unable to move an inch, she eventually plucked up some courage to run toward him and call out his name. Almost instantly, however, Ethan’s wind sliced her arm and shoved her to the floor.
That moment was embedded deeply in her mind and sometimes even made its way into her nightmares.
Cheryl often wondered what would happen if malignity ended up taking over her, but fortunately, she hadn’t really been at risk of it thanks to Aerta. She would purify her as soon as she used her magic, and it was highly unlikely that the malignity would be able to consume her. She was also mentally stronger against it than the other wizards and because of that, she was always safer.
