Wanda In Black Silk Stockings, Ch 47.2

However, the version I have taken out for Wanda has been modified by me. Many of the dark spells contained within it would not be good for her. The magic of Chthon is inherently very seductive; during practice, it can subtly intensify the darker aspects deep within the practitioner's soul. Excessive practice could even lead to the practitioner's spirit being absorbed by Chthon.

But I'm not overly worried about that, after all, Wanda wields chaos magic. Besides, as long as I'm around, I feel confident that she won't fall victim to Chthon's influence.

"Darkhold?" Wanda had never heard this name before, and she could vaguely sense the aura of evil emanating from the text. The numerous chaotic symbols made her head spin, causing her to feel a bit drowsy.

"Don't worry, little fool. I'll teach you." Hode did not mock her; instead, he sat next to Wanda and spread the Darkhold out before her. He was well aware that Wanda's past life had mostly been spent in smoke and flight. It was remarkable that she had survived until now, let alone had the opportunity to learn.

Furthermore, the language used in the Darkhold is largely ancient, so very few people can comprehend it. This means that even if some dark sorcerers managed to get hold of it, they wouldn't learn anything substantial in a short time. The mere task of deciphering the ancient language presented a significant barrier that would deter most people.

"You're the silly one!" Wanda felt warmth in her heart. Even though she didn't understand, Hode still took the time to teach her. Just this act alone touched her deeply, especially since she could tell that Hode was doing this for her own good; otherwise, he would not repeatedly emphasize chaos magic.

"Come, look with me..."

"This section discusses the origins and background of the Darkhold!"

"As for this part, it was fabricated by later generations. It talks about the deeds of the ancient god Xian."

Hode opened the parchment and placed his finger on the rows of ancient text as he began to explain. Although this information was not directly related to the spells, it was extremely important because it pertained to future vigilance and fear of Chthon.

After all, this is still considered black magic, and each time it is used, it will be influenced by Chthon. The more vigilant one is about it, the more caution they will exercise when using chaos magic.

As Hode explained, Wanda gradually entered the right mindset. His explanations were detailed, and areas she did not understand were explained in several different ways.

"Uh-huh, I understand this part too..."

As time went by, Wanda initially focused on listening, but her gaze was increasingly drawn to Hode beside her. She couldn't help but admire Hode's handsome face. His voice carried a unique charm, soft and soothing, making Wanda feel herself falling deeper in love, to the point where she wasn't even aware of how deeply she was infatuated with him.

The more mysterious she found someone, the more easily she fell under their spell. She was completely captivated by the man before her. All women are attracted to strength; even though Wanda was already powerful, she couldn't resist Hode's allure, especially since he was also the man who brought various first experiences into her life.

"Little witch, what are you looking at?" Hode noticed that Wanda had spaced out. He reached out and gently tapped her forehead, "What's so captivating? Is there knowledge on this scroll?"

"Nothing, I just thought of something else." Wanda cried out and covered her forehead, gazing up at Hode with a pitiful expression.
