Feral Confessions - Adrianna And The Alpha

Chapter 305 - Third Stage Of The Competition (13)

It was over 10PM but Shay wasn't giving up. He was using every possible spell that he had ever learnt to use on Adrianna. His friends and parents had said that there were rumors that she was no ordinary witch. 

When he remembered that he hexed her with the spell "Ponos" all over again and this time he added the word "Ponos maxima". A sudden gush of pain jolted through Adrianna's body. Her stomach ached, her arms lost tension and her legs begin to weaken. "You will not get the better of me," she thought as the blood from her mouth dropped on the ground. Her tongue became soaked in blood. She felt as though she had been bruised and winded. 

With her body in agony, she garnered whatever strength was left in her body and she lunged forward with full speed towards Shay pinning him to the ground. He was bewildered that she could even lunge forward. He had held his wand tightly in case she tried to remove it from his hand, but that would have disqualified her. 

When she was over him, she growled menacingly and said, "You see, I am also a werewolf. The wounds you are giving me will soon be healed!" 

And to his surprise, the wounds healed while the time he had pinned him. She had pinned him long enough for her body to heal. Adrianna laughed at him. She brought a fist to his face, snapping his nose into a grotesquerie. She slowly left him and rose to stand up. Her head was pounding. 

Shay shouted when he was punched and winced in pain. "You bitch!" His nose was bleeding profusely. The two of them went to the opposite sides of the segments and sat down trying to bring their energy back. Adrianna's wand had casted anti-spell on her on its own volition. Adrianna couldn't understand her wand's behavior but held it close to her heart. "Dmitri, let's take him down," she whispered. 

The two opponents looked at each other from across the distance. There was blazing fire in their eyes. Shay's nose hadn't healed and it was still bleeding. The two of them became angry and ran towards each other, once again casting spells and anti-spells. 

The audience hadn't left. As a matter of fact, more witches and wizards joined the place where this battle was going on. Ed, Dmitri and Cora were pale. They were watching Adrianna fighting it out alone in the segment while the three of them could do nothing. It was the first time Cora had seen Adrianna like that. She couldn't even fathom how powerful her daughter-in-law was. She was powerful beyond words. She was the true match to her son, anything less could never do. How could she even think of Keisha? She prayed the wolf spirits for her safety. 

None of Adrianna tricks were working. Only one option was left, which was to fool him but Shay wasn't giving a single clue. 

It was 6PM and they were still throwing spells on each other. Adrianna had tried to stupefy him number of times but he had deflected all those spells like child's play. While she was thinking of another strategy, suddenly she saw him speaking, "Discus Ignesis!" As soon as those words left him, she saw huge blazing fires of discus flying towards her. These large balls of fire were emerging out of nowhere and flying in her direction. Adrianna leapt in the air to dodge those discus fireballs, and saw that Shay was taking his wand from the back to the front as he kept chanting that spell. Even though Adrianna had leapt in air, how far up she could go? The segment walls stopped her. 

Now the fireballs were coming towards her at a rapid speed. Up in the air, Adrianna managed to dodge them. She took a deep breath and then directed herself to fly towards Shay once again evading the fireballs on way. 

Shay looked at her bewildered. He was stunned to see her agility and ability to fly in the air and that too without her broom. When she lifted herself in the air for the first time, he was surprised that she could do that so easily as though it was a child's play for her. 

Adrianna came and stopped right in front of him, standing two feet above the ground. She looked deep into his eyes and snapped her fingers. All the discus fireballs that were there in the air exploded with a deafening noise. Shay covered his ears and ran away to the opposite side. Adrianna took advantage of the situation and cast the spell, "Hynosia" but Shay had turned to look at her knowing fully well that she would immediately try something. He deflected the spell. Angered, he shouted, "Ponos" once again as that was the only spell he could think of that time to put her on the ground again. Adrianna deflected it successfully. 

Shay was now extremely irritated. The witch was just not coming down. He had effectively put down his two opponents the previous days and was confident that he would take her down also. However, it was midnight and they were still fighting it out. 

When it came to competitions like these, his parents said that there was no honor and no code. All that mattered was to win and nothing could be taken for granted. He had all the strategy planned so well in his mind and had kept it hidden in his mind because he had seen her getting in the cell of other people. He had learnt how to hide what he was thinking from others after practicing for a long time. He had gone slowly initially but after seeing her tenacity, he was fighting it out with a lot of energy and intelligence. But Adrianna was just too difficult an opponent. She wasn't surrendering. He was sure that the fireballs would reduce her motivation but he was wrong. Rather it went opposite to what he had thought.
