Chapter 27. The Truth about the Gospel

Warning: Bad grammar ahead

The Gospel of Witches...

There is not much known about them to be honest, it was one of the biggest mystery in the World until now. No one know where they came from and despite there saying they were given by the Witch of Envy herself, in reality, there is no proof that supporting those statement.

However it was, without doubt, the book is something that people should never touch.

Not after what happened to Marvolo family...

It happened around two hundred years ago or so, yet people still remember it very clear as the tragedy has been told to the youngster of each generation.

Marvolo family is used to be rival of Roswaal family in Arcane Art. The two families constantly debating and arguing about what should be learned or used to improve the state of Lugnica.

The rivalry between the two could be said stalemate actually. In simple term, Marvolo's family have the quantity and Roswaal's family have the quality.

There's only few that delve into the art of magic in Roswaal's family but those who learned growth into a powerful magician and achieving many honor and award from the kingdom. Meanwhile, Marvolo's family have the number of magician under their command and all of them while average -some even good- but they produce the number fast.

Giving who was actually led Roswaal's family Y/N is not surprised...

However that rivalry come to an end when Marvolo's family decide to study the Gospel of the Witch Cult.

It was when one of the areas they watched was assaulted by the cultist, they manage to repel and kill the invader, securing the village that targeted.

And they manage to get their hands on the Gospel book.

Abeforth Marvolo, the head of the Marvolo's family at that time was known to be quite ambitious. He had achieved quite many things when he led his family and he also very well known among the nobility and royalty at that time, and it thanks to the research and experience it wasn't secret to someone at his stature that the gospel is known to capable to grant some kind of vision of the future.

That was very perked his interest.

And it becomes the downfall of Marvolo family.

The details were not mentioned but it is written that Abeforth becomes insane after researching that gospel and slaughtering his own family and people. The insanity was not visible or instant, the process was gradual and slow, for months. The more he learns about that book, the more obsessed and frustrated he become when he got nothing or manage to break some mystery.

In the end, more than thousands people are died...

Seeing the horror that the book has brought, the Royalty and Nobility agreed to ban any attempt of researching the gospel and possession of it, a warning also given to other to not touch or attempt to read the gospel without supervision of wise people.

And so the gospel become one of the most dangerous and mysterious objects in the World.

But that was for this World... For Y/N who comes from normal World where this place is simply a fiction? He knows a lot about them.

Well... Maybe not a lot since there still so many mysteries about the Gospel itself but he know more than people in this World.

He knew what Gospel is in big picture, knew how they function, knew what their purpose, and knew how they work in some degree.
