Finished the novel and already know what’s gonna happen next but tell me why this season ending on a cliffhanger still got me screaming into the void in agony

The manhwa condensed a lot of the interactions/scenes so bear with me.
Ch 179 aftermath of what happened after the female knight Audelite killed Anaxia. Anaxia revives because the first death is a trap(her death gets reflected to whoever kills her) and a false one but her second death by Ailette is real and permanent. Ailette reveals all that to Audelite and why she told her earlier not to join in, the curse acts up and Audelite starts to die, Audelite screams at Hilde the white mage to heal her but nothing works and tries to choke Hilde. Audelite dies and then everyone enters the room. Meanwhile, Ailette was searching through the bag to find the mirror Bia was imprisoned in and the grand mage Moriphys pretends to help.
Ch 180 Bia gets out, a little reunion before Ailette gets sucked in the mirror and the grand mage Moriphys does that whole “only Tier 8 Mage” speech.
Within that same chapter(180), Ailette drags him into the mirror, collars him with the item the Cerberus mom gave her(dog collar of obedience).
In 181, she leaves him in the mirror, goes out and uses his “only Tier 8 Mage/Saintess” speech to basically imprison/kidnap him in the name of “saving” him and taunt the magic tower peeps. Princess Celesteed backs her up in stating the female knight Audelite basically killed herself cuz she didn’t wanna listen to Ailette vs Ailette letting her die purposefully(even though Ailette knew that even if she told the female knight to stay back and don’t attack that the female knight would still try to attack especially at the part when the demon turns into a child, basically goading the female knight to a death trap). Ailette uses that moment to air her grievances against the factions behind the grand mage(Moriphys) and his descendant(female knight) especially since they were plotting against her the entire time and her repayment for their actions(getting to steal the white mage Hilde from them).
I may be getting some small details mixed up since the manhwa didn’t follow the novel to a T, which makes sense cuz of pacing purposes and whatnot.
I could never recover
