106 An Intense Battle
Selma Payne’s POV:
“Roar!”
An angry roar came from outside the wall made of mutant plants. A few seconds later, the dense vegetation was torn open, and a steady stream of werewolves poured in through the opening.
The leader was Aldrich, his front and back legs had been transformed into a wolf, which allowed him to maintain the nimbleness of a human and also gain the strength of a wolf.
“Aldrich, over here!”
I waved at him as I dodged the vines.
Aldrich madly ran toward me and pushed aside a green foxtail grass that was as thick as three of me, ruthlessly tearing it apart.
I knew it was a critical moment but Moon Goddess! He was so handsome!
“Are you alright?” he checked me nervously. I’m sorry I’m late. The mutated plants in the school are a bit hard to deal with. It took me a lot of effort to get in with the soldiers.”
I panted heavily and shook my head. “You’ll never be too late. It’s not the time to talk about this. I need you to lead the soldiers and escort the students and faculty out of the school as soon as possible. It’s too dangerous for them to stay here. They can become hostages at any time.”
Aldrich did not hesitate to nod, shouting like an excellent leader, leading the brave soldiers to save the people.
With the support of foreign aid, the battle situation was quickly reversed. As the witch’s face grew gloomier and gloomier, the mutated plants were defeated.
“It seems that we’ve underestimated you,” she said coldly. “Now, let me show you my real ability. Let’s see what other surprises you can bring me!”
She removed her disguise as Carolyn and revealed her true self.
She had snow-white hair, and snow-white skin, and even her pupils were so pale that they were almost colorless gray. Other than her blood-red lips, she looked like an old, tattered photo that had been printed out of ink.
In all fairness, she was very beautiful, but her incantations were not as kind as her appearance. After a series of incantations that I couldn’t understand, the mutated plants suddenly stopped moving, then rapidly withered and turned into dust.
Green light spots flew out of the remains of the plant. They gathered together, expanded, and entangled, finally condensing into a huge cocoon.
“It’s a light cocoon!” I heard a warrior exclaim.
Looking at the light cocoon that was about to break out of its shell, I was stunned for a moment.
A bad premonition welled up in my heart.
The cocoon of light was too familiar to everyone present. Even if no one had seen it, we had all seen photos of it in history books.
The legendary wizard Fitch’s ultimate skill was to use the light cocoons condensed by living creatures to give birth to powerful monsters. This kind of evil sorcery at the cost of life was very powerful. He had once used this to cause thousands of casualties on the battlefield.
“This is not good… ” I mumbled. I immediately turned to Dorothy and said, “The plan has been brought forward. We can’t let the witch hatch the light cocoon. We must seal her before that. Are you sure you can interfere with her?”
Dorothy’s expression was ugly, and it seemed like her head was still hurting. However, she still nodded firmly. “I’ll do my best!”
“Alright!”
At this critical moment, I must give my partner 100% trust.
I ran to the nearest werewolf grandmaster and asked, “Can we start the sealing formation now?”
“It’s possible,” the werewolf grandmaster replied solemnly. “But the last node hasn’t been opened. I’m not sure if the sealing circle will work completely.”
“I’ll make sure that she stays in the center of the node the moment the seal is activated,” I said. “Now, please gather your companions and activate the formation!”
Immediately after, I shouted at Aldrich, “Let’s not worry about this cocoon of light for now. Let’s take this opportunity to send the students and teachers away!”
Aldrich nodded and ordered some of the soldiers to transform into their wolf forms and bring the injured to retreat immediately.
He wanted to stay and help me, but I refused. “I have something for you to do. Go back to the palace immediately and inform my father that this witch not only has the blood of a pure white witch but may even be related to the legendary wizard Fitch. the signal here is blocked by a spell, and I can’t contact the palace.”
Knowing that this was a serious matter, even if Aldrich was worried about me, he could only take the mission and leave immediately.
The witch catalyzed the cocoon of light unhurriedly. Her power was much weaker than Fitch’s, and she could not hatch the cocoon of light instantly.
“Have you gone to get reinforcements?” she said unhurriedly, “Go and get the adults to stand up for you, little brats. it was not like twenty years ago. the heroes are past their prime. Would they still retain the high-spirited power of their youth? Hehehe, I’m really looking forward to it!”
“Don’t be happy too soon, witch,” I said viciously. “I’ve said it before, you’ll pay for your arrogance!”
