This was not just her domain; it was her self-made prison. It was nothing more than a glorified prison cell to protect her from the danger that awaited her if she were to ever step foot outside its boundaries.

After all, it was the moment she stepped out of the town into Ciri's territory that the giant portals instantly arrived.

Lenny watched as the witches left. At least the ones that had managed to survive the entire ordeal.

Lenny chuckled a little. In this exchange, he might as well have been the biggest winner.

The moment Ella was done, the wings made up of holy power seemed to diminish in both size and brightness.

Slowly, she landed on the ground.

However, as she did, she fell straight to the ground in exhaustion.

Lenny hurried forward, managing to catch her in midair before she touched the ground.

"Damn, I caught an angel." He gave a cheesy smile.

She rolled her eyes at his joke as she pushed him off her

Slowly, she got herself together.

Although she staggered a little more, she still refused Lenny's help.

The moment the invisible shield around the town was repaired, the portal outside closed up and disappeared.

Lenny stepped forward through the rumble on the ground.

"You know, this might not be the best time to say this, but the solstice is coming. I'm sure you already know what's coming. That was just a senior witch, and she did this much damage. Imagine what an elder witch would do. Besides, I am sure you do not want that last guest to visit again. Tell me, Ella, how do I kill Ciri?"

Ella sighed as she turned around.

"You know, the reason I offered you my maids was to sway your goal from this path."

Lenny raised an eyebrow at this.

"But don't worry, I do not mind." She took another deep breath as she navigated her way through the rumble on the ground.

"If you want to kill Ciri, there are things you should know first."

Lenny turned to her, "I already know that her witch coven exists in her body."

"I am not talking about that. I am talking about the invitation stones."

Those were words Lenny had never heard before.

But Ella was going to explain anyway.

"Creatures from other planes are actually not allowed on a foreign plane. An example would be demons from the underworld not allowed into this world. It's a cosmic rule."

"Huh!? Then, how did they come here?"

 I think you should take a look at

"That's the thing. Believe it or not, they were invited. "

"Invited!?" 

"Yes. A basic example would be what that witch just did. She used her blood as an invitation to pull Nether creatures into this world. This ceremony of bringing another creature from its world is called Advenire!"

"Hmmm! Latin. 'To Arrive'."

"Yes, Latin. It's the language of the cosmos. Most spells are conducted with it, as it is the most common method to mold matter and space."

Lenny nodded. All this was information he was formally unaware of.

However, he had questions.

"Then what about the creatures that arrive from the Nether without being summoned?"

"That only happens on special occasions. An example would be the fact that all, if not most, Nether creatures belong to a herd, all bound to one another by blood. Have you ever heard any statements about karma?"

Lenny nodded.

"That's exactly what it is. The cosmic balance allows Karma to enact revenge. This can happen, whether it's fair or not. After all, blood has a strong binding power. There are rules, boy. Rules that govern all of heaven, earth, and all other realms. Rules that can't be denied."

"So tell me! What is this thing about an invitation stone? And why would anyone be willing to destroy the world?"

Although the questions had already left his mouth, Lenny could already guess the answers to that last one.

"Although entering one world from another cannot happen without an invitation from the former, it doesn't mean that communication with other realms is impossible."

As they talked, men and women in uniforms ran over from the town.

Lenny was impressed to see that one group quickly started clearing the dead on the ground, another group went for the rubble, and the last one started with mending the wall and making a new gate.

All this happened without Ella ordering it.

This was far better controlled than Father Black's Town.

In fact, it was very impressive.

"Come with me," Ella waved her hand.

Once more, the limousine appeared, and Lenny and Ella got in.

As they journeyed back, she explained further.

"For many, many years, beings from other dimensions have tried to seduce man. Evil spirits, Demons, Devils, Angels, and even Aliens."

"ALIENS!? They exist?"

"Yes, they are called children of the uncrowned gods, but that's for another time. They are not relevant to the matter at hand."

Lenny nodded at this but made a mental note in his head.

"The Earth is a place of incredible fruitfulness. And everybody wants a piece of the pie. But without an invitation, one cannot pass through the barrier. And so man had been seduced for a long time. Taught many methods, sacrifices, and rituals for invitations to be successful. In fact, many of them were performed when the veil separating the realms and planes was at its thinnest. An example would be during a solar eclipse or the first night of a full moon. Or even the solstice.

"However, all of these were useless. Most times, the restrictions were just too terrible. In that case, beings might require the possession of a human body or a time limit to stay before they are automatically sent back to their worlds. Then came the idea of the invitation stones. There are many rumors about the invitation stones. One of them being that they were made by Lucifer Morningstar..."
