Chapter 138 - Vikra's Attack (5)
Confused about the events that were taking place in front of her, Adrianna asked Fleur, "What is happening? Why are there so many neotides here?"
Fleur was confused herself. "What are neotides?" she asked Adrianna.
??Adrianna was at too much of a loss of words to explain anything to Fleur right now. Her first priority was to defend herself and everyone with her.
Adrianna and Dmitri were both shocked at the presence of such a large number of neotides. Why would they attack them all of a sudden? What had instigated them? They saw that Howard was flying towards them at a very high speed. As soon as Howard reached them, he looked at Ed and said, "Vikra is attacking."
Ed was so angry that he shape shifted back into a human. His face scrunched as he looked towards the neotides who were growling at them and readying for an attack. Most of them had shape shifted into wolves while a few of them were still in their human forms.
"How did he know?" asked Ed.
"He is demanding Adrianna."
"Who is Vikra?" asked Adrianna, puzzled at how serious Howard and her grandfather's tones were.
"Adri, I will tell you later, but for now, you have to keep yourself safe as we take care of these neotides," said Ed, preparing to run into the pack of neotides. Ed wanted to throw himself at the neotides in order to divert their attention. "The moment I distract them, Howard, you should create a portal and take them all out of here. Vikra is not going to be easy to deal with, especially with so little backup."
Ed was prepared to sacrifice himself for the sake of Adrianna, but Howard was against it. "No Ed! Stay here. I will take on the neotides."
"There is no time to argue," Ed shouted back. The neotides were getting dangerously close.
Adrianna looked up at the sky. The situation looked terrifying. There were death-defying spells being cast all over. She saw that Ed had already started running towards the neotides.
Ed leapt into the air to attack the neotides, but instead of going forward, he found himself being thrown back by a huge thrust of wind. It was as if he had been struck by a typhoon. Startled, he stood up, only to see that Adrianna was kneeling on one knee in the center with one hand in the air and the other on the ground. She had garnered enough energy to create a typhoon surrounding all of them. She was looking down but when she lifted her face, Ed could see that her eyes had turned yellow like that of a wolf and she was growling menacingly. The neotides that tried to come near the circle of wind were being thrown out.
Ed smiled. His grandchild…
Howard, Fleur, and the other wizards, witches and werewolves were all amazed by her. Dmitri felt proud and admired her quick thinking. He had seen her create this circle the first time he saw her. As all of them were standing in awe when Ed shouted at them, "Her energy will not last forever. You have to quickly create the portal."
High up in the air, Vikra could easily defeat the wizards and witches that had surrounded him from all sides. He shouted, "Which one of you is Adrianna?"
A witch shouted back, "We all are Adrianna."
Vikra was so furious at her that he threw a death spell on her. It was very potent, killing her instantly Immediately, he was surrounded by a large amount of lights, each carrying a lethal spell. The problem was that none of those spells worked on him. Although they stopped him for some time, they could never kill him. All the lethal light and energy just passed through him; there was no way to kill something that had already died years ago.
While fighting off their spells, Vikra looked down towards the neotides that he had sent to kill the werewolves. He was in for a surprise when he saw that there was a huge typhoon-like energy being created which was throwing out every neotide that tried to enter it. Baffled and intrigued at the same time, he managed to escape from the battlefield in the sky and headed down.
Adrianna's energy was depleting fast because the force she had created around her was too large. Every time a neotide was thrown away, she could feel her energy being depleted. Howard quickly created a portal and, one by one, they all started going through it.
When Vikra got closer to the ground, he noticed that the wind's intensity was dying down. However, he refrained from going in it for the fear that his body, which was only bones right now, would rip apart.
"Attack! All of you!" he ordered the neotides.
As soon as he gave his command, the neotides started throwing themselves at the circle. Vikra noticed that the intensity of the wind continued to lessen further. He smiled viciously and asked his force to continue to go inside the circle.
The wizards and witches that had been fighting him in the sky came after him. They started creating havoc amongst the neotides. They targeted all those who tried to pierce the circle because they knew that the circle had their queen inside. Although they didn't know how it had been created, they defended it with their lives.
