Chapter 194 Saving Helia

Chapter 194 Saving Helia

Amidst the dense foliage of the Skybreak Dark Forest, Anastasia led Arthur away from the familiar grounds of the academy.

The forest exuded an otherworldly aura, the towering trees casting elongated shadows as they ventured deeper into the territory.

As they approached deeper into the forest Arthur used his soul power to scan without holding back and he immediately saw a scene.

He thought about a lot of things and decided to reveal a bit of his strength.

"I know where they are. Don't resist."

"Wha-?!" Without responding to Anastasia's startled question he carried her on his arms and bolted with a speed greater than what any peak stage Martial King Realm cultivator can match.

*Swoosh!*

Anastasia was shocked as she didn't expect this but then she blushed when she discovered that she was in Arthur's arms.

'How strong are you now?' she wondered.

But more than this she was also happy for Arthur and also that Helia will be okay since Arthur was this strong.

Deep with the forest, beneath a hill.

The air crackled with tension, and a sense of urgency filled the atmosphere. The sight of the scene was chaotic—a pack of giant blue lightning wolves charging at a group of royal academy students, encircling them in a frenzied onslaught.

At the forefront, Helia summoned her earth elemental martial spirit, battled the formidable Golden Lightning Wolf King.

The strength of the spirit beast was just able to match mid-level martial king realm cultivators but Helia's strength was only at the first stage of the Martial King Realm.

More over she had just broken through not long ago and had not yet stabilized her cultivation realm, so she was on the weaker side and can only defend against the wolf king's attack.

Helia's movements were swift and precise, a dance with the elements. She unleashed her martial spirit, the earth elemental energy creating a protective barrier against the relentless attacks of the Golden Lightning Wolf King.

*Zap!*

*Bang!*

Cracks will appear on the barrier with each attack of the world but Helia would quickly repair it.

At the same time she would divide her attention and lauch a bunch of saber attacks at the wolf King with her other hand.

"Gale Slash!*

*Howl!*

The forest echoed with the clash of primal forces, the ground quivering with the impact of each strike.

The Golden Lightning Wolf King, a colossal figure with fur crackling like a storm, lunged at Helia with unparalleled ferocity. Its eyes glowed with an unsettling intelligence, and its attacks were a blur of golden lightning.

Helia fought valiantly, her every movement calculated. She countered the wolf king's strikes with her own, but the sheer strength of the creature overwhelmed her.

The battle reached a crescendo, the clash of elements creating a symphony of power that reverberated through the forest.

"Young Miss, I think we should leave... immediately." A hidden figure appeared and whispered.

The forest, once echoing with the cacophony of battle, now hung in suspense. The primal forces at play intertwined, creating a momentary lull before the storm. Arthur, his every movement a testament to his newfound strength, stood as a guardian against the looming threat.

'Hmm, an interesting wolf. How to deal with it?' Arthur thought as he had countless means to do so.

The Golden Lightning Wolf King, undeterred by the previous setback, prepared for another assault. The air crackled with tension as it faced each other, the outcome of the battle uncertain.

Anastasia, having joined the fray, rallied the remaining faction members, preparing for a coordinated counterattack against the blue lightning wolves.

As Arthur intercepted the Golden Lightning Wolf King's attack, his eyes, sharp and gleaming, turned towards the hill where the scheming group had been watching.

A sneer graced his face, a silent reproach that cut through the air like a blade. The group, now exposed in their malevolence, recoiled under the weight of Arthur's scorn.

With a shift of his attention, Arthur refocused on the imminent threat—the formidable Golden Lightning Wolf King.

A subtle vibration emanated from him, a force tuned precisely to the frequency the wolf could perceive. Activating his bloodline aura, Arthur's presence surged, and the air seemed to quiver with an unseen power.

The Golden Lightning Wolf King, once poised for another assault, suddenly faltered.

A whimper escaped its massive frame, a sound that echoed through the forest. In an instant, a chain reaction unfolded, and the pack of blue lightning wolves, once eager for battle, retreated. The wolf king led them, leaving the battlefield in a blur of motion.

In simple words, it turned tails and...ran.

The sudden reversal left the group on the hill dumbfounded. The high-ranking noble's daughter, the architect of this orchestrated chaos, now wore an expression of panic. Her carefully laid plans had crumbled in the face of the unexpected appearance of Arthur.

"What just happened?"

Arthur turned away from the retreating wolves, his gaze settling on the academy students he had just rescued.

Relief and gratitude emanated from their eyes as they realized the danger had passed. In an awe-inspiring display, Arthur had quelled the formidable pack with nothing but his presence.

With a calm demeanor, Arthur approached the group, his hand extended. "Take these healing pills. They'll aid in your recovery," he offered.

Gratitude flowed from the students as they accepted the pills, each expression a blend of appreciation and respect. Arthur's actions had not only saved them from the brink of defeat but had showcased a strength that transcended their expectations.

Among the relieved faces, Helia stepped forward, her eyes reflecting a mix of emotions. She bowed slightly, a gesture of respect. "Thank you, Prince Arthur. We owe you our lives."

Arthur dismissed the formality with a smile as he shook his head. "You don't need to act like this with me right?"

Helia smiled and said nothing more and immediately sat down to recuperate. As she was severely injured during this time.

After a while she had recovered and the tension eased. Helia began recounting the events that had led to their perilous situation.

She explained how they had been intentionally led into the Skybreak Dark Forest by girl's group on the hill, setting the stage for the confrontation with the wolf pack.

Arthur listened attentively, his eyes darkening at the revelation. The underhanded tactics of the group on the hill touched his bottom line.

"A mere noble dared plot against one of mine?" Arthur sneered.

"Don't worry, she will soon know despair, including her family."
