Chapter 262 It’s Time For You To Pay Them Back, Right?

A groan escaped Lilian’s lips as she slowly opened her eyes.

“Lilian, are you okay?” Cedric asked. “Does it hurt anywhere?”

Lilian winced as she tried to prop herself up, but the stinging pain in her chest made it hard for her to move and breathe for that matter.

“I think I broke a rib,” Lilian replied. “Maybe I broke more than one.”

“Don’t worry,” Cedric stated. “I have already mended the injury. But it might still be sore and the pain still persists. You still need time to recover.”

Lilian smiled bitterly as she looked at the battle that was happening around them.

After two days of scouring the Deathseeker Forest to look for reinforcements, their group managed to increase their number to thirty people.

But out of those thirty people, five died, while the others were injured.

Some even escaped when they felt like the situation was helpless, leaving the others to fend for themselves.

Now, only ten people remained.

Five were fighting against the Bronze Giant Snake, and by the looks of things, they would be overwhelmed soon enough.

“Brother, we need to take Luna and escape,” Lilian said through gritted teeth. “We can’t let her die here.”

“Of course,” Cedric replied. “But can you ride a broomstick in your condition?”

Lilian nodded. “I will manage, so get her, and let’s leave this place.”

But at that exact moment, the Ancient Wendigo cast a dome of black magic, preventing anyone from leaving the battlefield.

Seeing that their chance of escape had disappeared, Lilian then urged Cedric to help the Dwarf, the Elf, and the Black Panther fight against the Ancient Wendigo.

Although he was reluctant to leave her sister alone, Cedric knew that this was the only thing that he could do for now.

“Levis Hasta!” Cedric shouted as he pointed his wand at the Ancient Wendigo.

Immediately, a three-meter-long Light Spear materialized in front of him and flew towards the Ancient Monster, who was weak against Light Magic.

This was also the reason why Cedric had been given the role of weakening the monster, allowing them to capture it at the right moment.

Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to properly deal with his target because the Bronze Giant Snake was always getting in his way.

With the Boss of the Harrowing Desert being kept at bay by Rowan, Cedric could now unleash his magic that was the bane of all evil creatures.

But to his surprise, the Ancient Wendigo didn’t even bother dodging his attack.

Instead, it raised its hand and summoned its own Dark Spear, nullifying Cedric’s attack.

“You might be a Child of Light, but you are still a child,” the Ancient Wendigo said in a teasing tone. “If only you were a hundred years older, then you might have had a chance of defeating me. Unfortunately, the current you doesn't have that ability.”

The ancient monster then spread its arms wide, and countless dark needles flew in every direction.

Cedric raised his shield to block the attack, protecting his sister along with it.

Bridget did the same and summoned Walls of Earth in front of her, shielding Luna, Sefarina, and Lilith.

The Ancient Wendigo chuckled as its black needles slowly destroyed the defensive spells that Bridge and Cedric had cast.

In regards to raw magical power, they were not a match for the vile monster who had already lived for over a thousand years.

Soon, the Black Needles increased in size, until they became the size of long swords.

Although the two teenagers specialized in defense, they couldn’t defend against something that far surpassed their level of power.

Cedric’s barrier shattered, while Bridget’s Earth Walls crumbled.

Both of them were hit by a Black Needle and were sent flying backward.

Another chuckle escaped the Ancient Wendigo’s lips as it threw several Black Needles, pinning Lilian, Bridget, Sefarina, and Lilith to the trees.

These black needles didn’t give them any injuries, but simply bound them to the trees, preventing them from moving.

The Ancient Wendigo was a creature that enjoyed tormenting its prey. It wanted to bring out their fears and anxiety. It wanted to make them feel despair because it would enhance their taste when it consumed them.

It then locked its gaze onto Luna once again, its red eyes glowing brighter.

Again, the angelic beauty fell into a trance, and she walked toward the Vile Creature who wanted to consume her.

Rowan roared as he tried to run towards his sister, but the Bronze Giant Snake blocked his path, preventing him from disturbing the Ancient Wendigo from finally taking its prize.

Luna stopped a meter away from the monster and gazed up at it with lifeless eyes.

The monster chuckled as it lowered its head, opening its mouth wide.

A tear slid down the side of Luna’s face as she stared at the monster that was about to take her life. In her final moments, a name escaped her lips.

A name of the person she loved.

“Ethan.”

Suddenly, the sound of something breaking spread in the surroundings as a glowing trident with lightning snaking around its body descended toward the Ancient Wendigo, catching it by surprise.

The vile monster roared in pain as the Sea God’s Trident dragged its body through the forest, destroying countless trees in the process.

“Don’t worry, I’m here.” A handsome young man with long blue hair descended from the crack in the black dome and landed beside Luna.

The angelic beauty was still under the control of the Ancient Wendigo, but the strong emotions she felt the moment she saw the person whom she wanted to see in her last moments pulled her out of her trance, and tears uncontrollably streamed down her cheeks.

Ethan, seeing that his lover was still under the Wendigo’s mind control, he cupped her face and gave her a long, and passionate kiss.

The kiss was sweet, and yet, it also tasted like blood.

Clarity returned to Luna’s eyes as the power of Ethan’s blood dispelled the hold of the Ancient Wendigo on her.

He had the blood of a deity flowing inside his body, giving him certain resistance to various things, including mind control.

“Better?” Ethan asked after he stopped kissing the young lady, whose face had regained some of its color. He had bit the tip of his tongue, allowing a few drops of his blood to strengthen the angelic beauty's resistance to mind attacks.

“Yes,” Luna replied. “Thank you.”

“Don’t thank me just yet,” Ethan said as he raised his hand, making the Sea God’s Trident return to his hand.

He then handed the Sea God’s Trident to his lover, which made her tilt her head in confusion.

“Why are you giving this to me?” Luna asked.

“It’s because you will help me fight against that thing,” Ethan replied. “I can’t beat it alone. I will need your power as well, Luna.”

Before she could even say that she couldn’t fight against the Ancient Wendigo, a warm feeling washed over her body.

All the fear she felt against the vile creature had disappeared, and her mind was as clear as the water of a spring.

Luna looked at Ethan in surprise, while the latter only smiled at her.

“The Wendigos have bullied you long enough,” Ethan stated. “I think it’s time for you to pay them back, right? Or are you saying that ‘My Luna’ is incapable of protecting herself?”

The angelic beauty smiled before nodding her head in understanding.

“You’re right,” Luna replied. “They have bullied me long enough.”

Holding the Sea God’s Trident with her left hand, Luna held her wand firmly on her right hand.

Seeing her stance, Ethan chuckled and summoned another Trident.

This trident was made from Magical Silver gifted to him by the King of the Magdar Kingdom.

It was the perfect weapon to use against Undead, Evil, and Corrupted Creatures.

At that moment, several other people passed through the crack of the Black Dome.

They were none other than Emma, Nicole, Garnet, and the Head Prefect of Dud Manor, Henry.

With this powerful lineup, Ethan was sure that even if they were fighting against an Ancient Wendigo, they would have nothing to fear.

Why?

Because the strongest students of Brynhildr Academy were finally here.

(E/N: Never fear! Brynhildr Academy is here!)

(E/N: Dang, that Nexus REALLY made Ethan hot.)
