Chapter 756 Purposefully Captured

Adhara's expression contorted into a frown when she realized that this is exactly the situation she feared the most, she jinxed herself by thinking that she must get back quickly before a threat appeared.

It was not a normal threat either, but a major one.

Just from the way the cursed creature talked to her alone shows that it was definitely an accomplice of the Witch of Chaos, and she can't underestimate the situation she was in right now.

For all she knows, these are the people that kidnapped Kyran.

'No matter what, I can't let myself be taken by this thing' Adhara thought as her body started to sizzle, her eyes also glowed white before her body started transforming. It started from her teeth which are becoming sharper before her entire body is covered by pure-white furs.

Knowing the severity of the situation if she was caught here, she decided to go all-out.

Swoosh!

Adhara didn't waste a single second as she also activates her new Spirit Gladiator Form. Her Werewolf form was not covered by the lavender-hue dress, but the purple snake appeared and wrapped its body around her waist.

Under such power, the surroundings' temperature increased rapidly.

Moreover, the trees around the area spanning about a mile started melting like ice cream when exposed to Adhara's purple fire that dances and blazes around her body. Such an effect was unheard of.

But this was only possible due to the spirit energy infused into her violet flames.

"Kekekeke... I see that you're still trying to resist. Don't waste your power, you don't have the capability of hurting me" the ghastly creature said with a mocking chuckle, finding it amusing that Adhara is trying her hardest to defend herself.

It was worrying because there was no hint of concern from the ghastly creature.

Even in the face of the scorching fire that of an eighth-rank realm alongside her Herald-Mark glowing brightly which properly her physical prowess to the ninth-rank realm, this cursed creature is still brimming with confidence.

Gritting her teeth, Adhara squinted her eyes, "What do you want from me?"

"We already told Flunra to hand over the curse, it's an act of kindness from us to lend a helping hand to extract the curse yet he refused us. Now that the Alpha is aware, I need you to help me get that curse" the cursed creature replied, its mouth curving up into a nasty grin.

Adhara frowned when she heard this, she really needs to get out of there.

Upon seeing the concern that emerges on Adhara's face, the cursed creature's grin blooms even wider, "I wonder, which one is more important for the Alpha. You, the kid, or the vassal of the curse"

Crack!

Exploding with anger, Adhara closed the gap fiercely and launch her own attack.

Although she already knows from Rex that Kyran should be with the Witch of Chaos, hearing it from this cursed creature directly makes Adhara's blood boils as that misunderstanding causes the Executor to awaken and hurt Rex badly.

Out of everything, she despised the Witch of Chaos and her accomplice because of that.

Cloaking her white claws with purple flames that are dense with spirit energy, she did a horizontal swiping motion with extreme speed. But her eyes widened when her claws simply passes through the cursed creature's body.

The momentum carried Adhara forward as she crashes back to the ground.

Planting her claws into the ground to stop the momentum, Adhara clicks her tongue as she seems to be unable to touch this cursed creature. "Kekeke... I already told you, you don't have the capability to hurt me"

Despite her anger, she needs to calm herself down as it seems she can't do anything.

Adhara's attack earlier was not only a regular slash but one that is imbued with everything that she has including her White Omicron energy. Out of her powers, the White Omicron energy has a dimensional ability that can make her pass through things too.

But it seems that still doesn't work against the cursed creature, the dimension is different.

'I don't know what kind of curse this cursed creature is empowered by, and it seems I also can't touch it. This is futile, I need to get out of here' Adhara thought realizing that she was at a complete disadvantage.

While the ghastly creature seems to know her, she doesn't know anything about it.

Staying and fighting alongside Rex for quite some time, she also learned that Rex has always put the importance of knowing his enemy first before engaging. Since she doesn't know anything about the cursed creature, it's best that she retreat for now.

Swoosh!

Casting a burst of energy, Adhara heads in the opposite direction quickly.

Most creatures in the whole entire world wouldn't be able to approach her, much less catch her. Due to her breakthrough to the eighth-rank realm, her fire has made her body stronger and also can propel her even faster than she ever was.

In addition, she was solely focusing on retreating so she's very much uncatchable.

But that assumption was trashed when Adhara glanced over her shoulder and finds the ghastly creature moving to a speed similar to hers. Even with her breakthrough, this cursed creature can match her blazing fast speed.

If not for the breakthrough, the cursed creature would catch her easily.

"Don't start running now, female Alpha..."

Gritting her teeth as realized that she wouldn't be able to lose the cursed creature at this rate, she quickly controls the purple snake around her waist and send it right at the cursed creature.

Hiss!!

Swoosh!

With a hissing roar, the purple snake opens its mouth and shoots powerful fire breaths.

Purple flames that span a very wide area engulf the cursed creature entirely, the surroundings were also not spared from the fiery might as the blooming purple flames swallowed everything it touches.

'A chance!' Adhara thought as she takes a sharp left.

Knowing that her powers no matter if it's her Awakened power or Werewolf power are ineffective against the cursed creature, she did this to block the cursed creature's vision and use it to escape.

From the looks of it, that diversion seems to be successful.

Just as she celebrated inside her head for managing to lose the cursed creature, she grunted in pain feeling a sharp sting hitting the back of her knees. Glancing down, she finds a nasty gash on both knees that were the source of the pain she felt.

Not stopping at that, her movement was halted when her eyes saw something.

Crack!

Coming out of the ground a couple of steps in front of her is a blade that threatens to hurt her if she doesn't stop in her tracks. She didn't even sense the blade inside the ground and only reacted with her reflex.

Adhara managed to stop in the nick of time just as the scythe-shaped blade burst out.

The curving blade burst out so fast that she only saw it crawling out of the ground in a split second. If she had not stepped back then she would've been impaled by the curving blade, and the veil of evil energy cloaking the entire blade would definitely show no mercy if she got stabbed.

But even though she managed to dodge it, her cheek was grazed by the blade from below.

Clenching her jaw, she quickly glances to the side and changes direction.

Not a single second was wasted despite she was being forced to stop abruptly by the scythe-shaped blade, her movement is very decisive and fast due to the crisis she was experiencing right now.

Although she's already reacted perfectly, another blade protruded out of the ground.

Crack!

'Even though cursed energy is different, I usually am able to sense it. But why can't I sense this blade right now?' Adhara thought inside her mind, finding this cursed creature chasing after her is a pain in the ass.

Following the blade that blocks her way, more blades try to impale her from below.

Adhara make use of her acrobatic ability as she somersaulted repeatedly to dodge the blades, she was only grazed here and there as her inhuman reflex saved her from these scythe-shaped blades.

The moment she stopped, she finds herself trapped in a cage made by the blades.

Shifting her eyes to the side, she finds the small cursed creature appearing once again outside of the cage with a cocky smile on its face. "Got you..." it mutters in a mocking tone.

Upon hearing this, Adhara tries to force her way out of the blade but stung instead.

Blitz!

"Arggh!" Adhara fell back to the center of the cage.

While lying on the ground with a pained expression as the energy cloaking the blades is capable of hurting her, Adhara glanced up and finds an open space in the cage that she can use to escape.

But that option quickly disappeared when the blades elongate and covers that space.

Realizing that she was trapped, she glared at the cursed creature with immense hate. But this only sparks more chuckle from the ghastly creature, "Play nice, if you do then we might be kind enough to not hurt you"

As it said that, the ground suddenly started shaking.

Rumble!

Upon feeling this sensation, Adhara quickly becomes alert expecting another blade would burst out again. But she finds that it was not another blade but the ground beneath her feet started separating and levitating into the air.

It was done with a finger of the cursed creature, boasting its absolute control.

"Where are you taking me?!" Adhara asked, holding back her anger.

The cursed creature simply smiled and didn't reply before the two of them started flying through the dense forest before being swallowed by the darkness of the night, vanishing from the eyes below.

A moment later, Adhara eyed the cursed creature from inside the cage.

"Don't bother trying to exchange me for Gistella, the Alpha is ruthless and doesn't care about his pack members at all" Adhara said, trying to make the cursed creature let her go. Yet she was given cold shoulders, no reply from the cursed creature.

As the two of them got further and further away, unease can be seen on Adhara's face.

Despite the bad situation that she's in right now, she's surprisingly calmer than she should've been. "With the Executor awakening, do you really have the time to play around with the Alpha? It's a bad time to start a war"

"Or... are you doing this for the Executor?" Adhara asked.

The cursed creature then replied strongly, "No! We are not a part of the Executor!"

Upon hearing this sudden outburst from the mentioning of the Executor, Adhara's eyes sparkled as she can see something leaking out of the cursed creature's body that only she can see.

It plastered a smile on Adhara's face but she quickly hide it away.

"I've heard of the Ancient Humans plenty of times already, Flunra has told it to me. And I also know that the Witch of Chaos also comes from the same era, yet I've never heard Flunra mentioning her. You people must've been unimportant if he didn't mention anything about curses" Adhara commented, trying to spark more reaction from the cursed creature.

Just as she said that the cursed creature stopped and turns around to glare at her.

A murderous pair of eyes are fixated on Adhara, showing the anger that the cursed creature is feeling. "Don't speak of mother's name lightly! It's a shame that she doesn't shine in ancient times, but now... in this era... she will be the strongest! With the new ritual, the Executor wouldn't be able to do anything he likes anymore!"

Adhara then exposed her wide grin cheekily, "So that's it..."

Catching sight of her grin, the cursed creature was stunned before she continues. "So you're in a race against time with the Executor, you fear the Executor... And you need the curse in Gistella to do this new ritual to go against the Executor"

"Thank you for telling me" Adhara smirked before her body exploded with powerful energy.

Kaboom!

Even though the cursed creature already sensed her power earlier, the energy she was emitting is much stronger than before. But this didn't give much concern to the cursed creature, "I told you, you don't have the capability of go agains- What?!"

"You were saying?"
