Chapter 263 A Song Of Fire and Ice [Part 1]

The battle came to a brief pause after Ethan and the other students of Brynhildr Academy arrived.

Rowan, who was fighting against the Bronze Giant Snake, was finally able to sigh in relief after seeing that his sister was safe and sound.

He almost felt his soul leave his body earlier, when the Ancient Wendigo was about to devour his sister.

So when Ethan arrived, and even when the young man suddenly kissed his sister, he didn’t react too badly and even forgave him for what he did.

He would rather let his sister be kissed by Ethan than be devoured by that vile creature who only wanted to strengthen itself with her powers.

Cedric, who saw this scene, gritted his teeth as he held his shield and sword firmly in his hands.

Lilian, who saw the handsome young man arrive at the scene, almost jumped up in joy. If not for the fact that she was still injured and that even the slightest movement brought her pain, she might have done just that.

Though she couldn’t help but feel envious of Luna, whom Ethan had kissed in front of everyone. But she believed that there would come a day when the handsome young man would treat her in such a way and also protect her from anything that wished to cause her harm.

This touching scene was broken by an angry screech from the Ancient Wendigo, who had been hit by Ethan’s sneak attack.

“Looks like I made him angry.” Ethan smirked.

“Why don’t we make him angrier then?” Luna suggested, making the handsome young man look at her in surprise.

The mental, physical, and passive courage boosts that the Sea God’s Trident instilled in its wielder made Luna braver.

Luna right now was the complete opposite of the horrified young lady, who was unable to offer any resistance to the Monster that controlled her body like a puppet a few minutes ago.

“Good.” Ethan nodded before glancing at the Dwarf and the Elf, who had done their best to protect Luna.

The Black Needles had been dispelled when Ethan dealt damage to the Ancient Wendigo, so everyone had regained their freedom.

“Thank you for protecting Luna,” Ethan said. “I owe both of you a favor. For now, help me deal with the Ancient Wendigo.”

““Yes!””

Bridget and Sefarina were happy that their Master had acknowledged their efforts.

“How about me, Master?” Lilith pouted. “I helped too!”

Ethan chuckled. “Of course. I’ll give you lots of pats later. Let’s deal with this bastard first.”

The handsome young man’s eyes glowed blue as he tapped into the power of the Tide Bringer inside his body.

He wasn’t delusional enough to think that he would be able to win against the Ancient Wendigo without going all-out.

It was at that moment when a Black Mist came charging toward them like an avalanche, aggressive as if it wanted to devour everything in its path.

Ethan’s wand hovered above him and transformed into the projection of the Mermaid Princess.

“Illumina!” Ethan shouted as he charged forward, his silver spear shone with power.

“Rising Dragon Breath!” Ethan thrust his spear forward, and a torrent of water emerged from the tip of his trident, colliding with the black mist that was headed in their direction.

The collision lasted for five seconds before the torrent of water exploded, dispelling the Dark Mist and forcing the Ancient Wendigo to return to its original form.

“Lunam Trabem!”

A silvery beam of light hit the vile creature’s chest before it could even recover from Ethan’s attack, sending it flying backward.

Ethan was now using Partial Resonance with the intention of dealing as much damage as he could before his Magic Power ran out.

His Silver Trident had also infused his attack with its Holy property, dealing significant additional damage to any evil creature that was hit by Ethan’s attacks.

With the Ancient Wendigo down, the other members of Brynhildr Academy sprang into action.

Nicole and Henry charged forward, while Garnet summoned countless fireballs and attacked the vile monster from a distance.

Ethan and Luna glanced at each other before nodding their heads at the same time.

Silvery white wings emerged behind Luna’s back as she flew toward the Ancient Wendigo.

Ethan, on the other hand, summoned Fairy Wings and flew alongside her.

Although he was using Partial Resonance, the drain on his Magical Reserves was not that strong.

His Magical Circuits had partially recovered after absorbing the Tide Bringer’s Blood Essence and making love with Lily, and he was now able to fight for up to fifteen minutes while his Partial Resonance was still active.

Cedric frowned as he looked at this scene, unsure about what to do.

“Brother, let's help them,” Lilian said as she summoned her flying broom. “I will cover you from above.”

Cedric nodded, and he also charged to join the fight against the Ancient Wendigo, while Lilian flew above the trees and unleashed water bullets as cover fire.

The hopeless situation had been reversed completely, with the students of Brynhildr Academy dealing with the Boss Monster of the Deathseeker Forest.

The members of Cedric’s team focused all of their attention on the Bronze Giant Snake, who was now being pushed back by Rowan’s ferocious attacks, which were imbued with his anger and bloodlust.

“Insolent Mortals!” the Ancient Wendigo shouted in anger. “Know your place!”

The Boss Monster then roared, sending a shockwave that spread throughout the entire Deathseeker Forest.

A moment later, loud roars, howls, and screeches spread in the surroundings as the Magical Creatures that had been subjected by the Ancient Wendigo answered their Master’s call.

“Garnet, ignore the Wendigo and just burn the forest,” Ethan stated.

“What?!” Garnet asked in surprise. “Burn the forest, are you sure?”

“Yes,” Ethan replied. “If you don’t, we will soon be overwhelmed by the number of Magical Beasts that are now headed in our direction. If the Forest starts to burn, they'd think twice before charging in. Even they will not be able to survive such a hellish environment.”

Garnet frowned a bit because she was very hesitant to follow Ethan’s orders. Burning the forest was a very risky move, and it might also affect them later in the battle.

“Just trust me,” Ethan said after seeing the hesitation on Garnet’s face. “If you don’t, we all die. So instead of feeling sorry for the creatures of this forest, you should feel more sorry for your family once that Ancient Wendigo eats you alive.”

The handsome young man had no time to convince Garnet to burn the forest because the duration of his Partial Resonance was limited.

The more the Scarlet Witch hesitated, the harder their battle would be.

“Garnet, do it,” Henry ordered. “I will take responsibility.”

The Head Prefect of Dud Manor was the team leader of their group, so his orders carried more weight than Ethan’s.

After hearing Henry’s words, Garnet summoned her flying broom and flew upwards.

She no longer hesitated and raised her wand, pointing it to the sky, creating a fireball that was getting bigger with each passing second.

“Ignis Tempestas!” Garnet shouted as her eyes glowed red with the power of the flames.

The giant fireball above her head then split into countless small fireballs that rained down from the sky.

These fireballs landed around the battlefield, igniting all the trees. Soon, the area turned into a ring of fire that prevented any creature from passing through it.

The Dire Bears, Dire Wolves, and other Magical Creatures that answered the Ancient Wendigo’s call found themselves unable to proceed forward due to the hellish flames that were starting to expand in every direction.

Seeing how resolute its opponents were, the Ancient Wendigo felt its icy heart skip a beat because one of its weaknesses was Fire.

Most Wendigos lived in Ancient Forests and very cold places and it was very rare for them, if not impossible, to be found in very dry and hot places.

It might be a very strong creature and could counter most fire spells with more powerful Dark Magic, but it didn’t change the fact that Fire was still one of its weaknesses.

And having a Forest Fire on its home turf was the last thing that it wanted to happen!

Out of anger, the Ancient Wendigo started to hurl Dark Spears in Garnet’s direction in an attempt to stop the Witch from burning down its home.
