Chapter 40. Rebels! (1)

A whole night of studying a grimoire was a headache! Alinta could feel her eyes burning and her mind frying. The spell to vanquish Vasta was as difficult as she had imagined.

Cracking the codes, trying to pronounce the words correctly, and locating the components required to conduct the ritual—she felt like giving up and staying here until death.

Pah! As if she had a choice!

This world would send her back to her own timeline. Once she had done so, she needed to make sure she had the necessary power to retaliate against Luna and Vasta. Otherwise, she and the others would perish. For real.

Heck! She didn’t even know if they were still alive!

Alinta turned to face the door. Her grandmother gave her a scornful look. She immediately smiled. “You’re here,” she said as she cleared her throat. “Can you help me with this spell?”
