Chapter 179: Disappearing
But no matter what genius earth treasure or even dimensional will can compete with the ultimate time, the only thing to do is to slightly delay the process of Devit's disappearance. However, the effect of this delay is getting worse and worse, and some obvious signs of disappearance have begun to appear in DeWitt.
First, Tredy still appeared under the suppression of the will and self-restraint of the Vatira plane, and then DeWitt's body began to appear to be blurred. At first, it was just hair, beard, and other hairs that changed from physical to phantom, which could be seen and worked normally, but they could no longer be touched, as if they were in another world.
The blurring worsens over time, spreading from hair to some limbs. When Mr. DeWitt's left hand gradually faded from his fingertips, he could only use magic to do some of the work that his left hand was responsible for. The bokeh part does not affect the normal operation of the other parts, but its own physical function has completely disappeared.
Then the right hand is gradually blurred, followed by the legs, the body, and finally the brain. By the final stage of Devitt's teaching to Ciri, Devit had completely vanished, and he could only use magic to affect things in reality.
Watching a person disappear little by little, especially the other party is still a teacher who has been teaching his knowledge, his heart is very uncomfortable, which makes Xirui not in a high mood all the time. However, Ciri did not let his mood affect the progress of his studies, because the only way he could help the teacher was to learn and pass on what he had learned throughout his life.
Drydy was also very depressed during this time, and at first he tried many methods to slow down DeWitt's void process, but after all methods failed, Drydy no longer did this useless work. He still reads books in the soundproof enchantment as he did when he first appeared, but now Tredy often spends long periods of time in a daze, not knowing what comes to mind.
Quinnir has always been in charge of the food and daily life of several people, more like an ordinary housekeeper than a mage. When DeWitt appears to be blurred, Quinnir is the calmest on the surface, just as calm as DeWitt himself. However, as the DeWitt blurring became more and more severe, Mage Quinnir looked older and haggard. Many times, DeWitt had to take some time out of his stressful time to enlighten Quinnier individually. Otherwise, Quinnir would most likely have fallen before Devit disappeared.
Of the first mages to follow DeWitt, Quinnir was the youngest, and he was the most influenced by DeWitt. Quinnier and DeWitt are both masters and fathers. Watching his group of people work hard all their lives without getting back the results they wanted, watching his companions and friends who were like relatives around him pass away one by one with regret, and now watching his most beloved mentor disappear in front of him little by little but unable to do anything, it is undoubtedly a huge blow to Quinir.
However, the reality is often that things are not as good as they should be, and many times we seem so pale and powerless. Ciri is now working hard to learn and study magic, just to change this helpless state, at least when fate has designed a tragedy for you, she can struggle a little.
As the teaching was coming to an end, DeWitt's phantom had begun to fade, and the phantom that had been a physical entity was gradually turning into transparency. At the same time, DeWitt's influence on reality is gradually decreasing, and the power of his spells is gradually weakening, and some spells have become simple images without the slightest effect. His voice was weakening, so much so that he had to use magic to help Ciri amplify his voice when he was usually speaking.
By the end of the lesson, DeWitt's entire body had become very blurry and difficult to identify, and some parts were even completely transparent and disappeared.
After completing his teaching, Devit left the Magic Tower and sat down in the place where all his followers were buried. Ciri didn't leave, nor did he consolidate what he had learned or conduct any experimental research. He, along with Drydy and Quinnier, also came to DeWitt, who was about to disappear, and accompanied him on his last journey.
DeWitt himself has experienced all kinds of changes, watching himself slowly disappear, but he is the most open of several people. He always had a kind smile on his face, without sadness and regret, like an ordinary old man enjoying his old age peacefully.
The three of them sat at the back of the lab on the flat ground where the failed pioneers of the Vatila plane were buried, and listened to DeWitt recount his early years on the Vatila plane. Devitt can still remember the names of each of his followers, how he met him, and how he followed him in his efforts to change Vatira. DeWitt remembers the vows they made, the sacrifices they made, and the contributions each one made to their transformative cause.
A month later, Devit had become completely transparent, and Ciri could no longer see him, only a few faint voices from the amplification spell proving that Devit was still there.
A few more days passed, and even the sound of the amplification spell was no longer heard, but the three of them did not leave, as if the kind old man who had sacrificed his future for the Vatira plane and gave everything was still sitting beside them.
Finally, early one morning, Drydy, who had not spoken a word, stood up and said to Ciri and Quinil, "The old fellow is gone, completely gone. Ciri felt an irrepressible sourness welling up in his heart, and Quinil's body shook for a moment, and his eyes revealed a hollowness.
DeWitt had already arranged his own funeral, and he distributed all the materials he had collected in his life to the inheritor Ciri. Most of his magic items will be left to Quinir, and Tredy will inherit all of Devit's City Credits and citizenship in the City of the End.
DeWitt only agreed that the three of them should bury some of the ordinary clothes and household utensils he usually wore on behalf of himself in the flat area where his followers were. The funeral was conducted in secret by the three of them, without informing the others, and DeWitt's followers all left before him except for Quinil, and the other mages were all people with other purposes and did not need to be notified.
Hidden spells were cast throughout the funeral, and with Vatila's current level of magic, no one had discovered it. DeWitt's belongings were buried in front of all his followers, and Quinnir hoped that his former companions would always see the teacher.
After the funeral, Quinnir built a simple house next to the flat land and decided to accompany his teacher and companions here for the last leg of his journey. Drydy returns to the City of the End, where he plans to continue his adventures after tidying up, and then possibly become an academic mage on the Colin plane. Ciri and the two exchanged contact information, and Drydy could later need help from the Colin plane, and he left the contact information for Quinnir to actually take on some of the responsibility of protecting the Vatira plane.
The Vatira plane is the place that Mr. Devitt has worked hard for all his life, although this place has made him very disappointed, although Mr. Devitt did not ask Ciri to protect this place until the end, but Ciri still senses the attachment and love for the Vatira plane in the eyes of Mr. Devitt.
Ciri decided to help the Vatira plane through some difficulties as much as possible in the future, so that Mr. DeWitt's life's work would not be in vain.
