Chapter 137
At the final moment, the witch queen evaded both fireballs that Lavana had hurled at her, while the latter eluded the series of magical energy balls that the spruce-haired woman sent her way using her sceptre.
“Mph! I don’t believe that you can dodge forever!” she launched another ball of magic that successfully hit Lavana’s stomach. But contrary to what she expected, Lavana wasn’t wounded. Instead, she was patting her belly.
“You…” the unhappy witch pointed at her rival, unwilling to take this outcome, “I don’t believe you’re invincible. Take this!” she launched bigger energy balls at her foe at a snappier rate. She must take this abnormal lass down!
Lavana wasn’t intimidated at all. Instead, she appeared chuffed at the thought of the thrilling battle, actively dodging all the attacks cast at her. Her mate and the rest had withdrawn to a hiding spot. The attacks that she avoided hit some trees and ravaged the road. At this juncture, no car could pass as there were several holes created by the missed attacks.
The pissed woman decided to shift her focus, pitching several attacks at the spot where the other 6 hid for safety.
“Damn it! This witch!” Dante couldn’t help cursing. Lavana flew towards them, using her tails to ward the attacks off to hit some luckless trees.
“You want to hurt my people? Shameless!” she spat, rushing at the woman, easily dodging all the attacks till she got to her and grabbed hold of her sceptre. The witch queen beamed, thinking Lavana would get the severe backlash that results from holding a wiz blood’s sceptre. But instead of that occurring, Lavana started trying to take it into her possession.
“You…” the astounded queen had to drag her own sceptre with her opponent who could hold it without any negative consequence.
Lavana eventually got hold of it after throwing fireballs at the woman which she instinctively avoided. Now that the cursed sceptre was in her custody, Lavana attempted to snap it in two.
The incensed queen yelled, “Give it back, you bitch!”
“No! Come get it if you can!” Lavana said with a smirk as she turned around and flew into the woods with the sceptre.
“Curse you!” the furious woman flew after her in pursuit but couldn’t catch up to her. Ultimately, she stopped chasing and her eyes changed to different colours, the left eye was an ochre colour and the right was glowing sacramento colour.
Her hair turned amaranth and lengthened by a few inches. Her clothes turned into a simple, plain, sleeveless black gown that covered her feet.
“You’re going to regret touching what’s mine!” she spat, resuming her flight which was now twice faster than before. Soon she found Lavana trying to break the sceptre by hitting it against some accursed oak tree. This made her outrage reach new heights.
“Lass, you are so dead!” she shrieked, stretching out her right hand. The sceptre suddenly left Lavana’s grip and swiftly returned to its owner.
“You want to break my baby, huh?” the queen questioned as several black veins became visible on her face.
“It’s just for fun. Why so serious, old hag?” Lavana tittered, her tails casually moving about.
“Die!” the ired woman clamoured, using her glowing sceptre to launch cardinal red balls of magic at her opponent at a rate that Lavana now had issues keeping up with. Seems this witch queen was no longer holding back.
Outside the woods, Phoenix told the others to stay near the road and that it was too dangerous inside the woods.
“I can feel the effects of the battle from here. Will she be alright?” Oliver asked in worry.
“She will. I’ll go spectate. I’m just an Alpha wolf,” Phoenix shrugged.
“Let me guess. Your flying abilities are gifted by her along with being able to vanish?” Zyair asked.
“No comment. You guys stay here and um… you can sing and dance,” Phoenix turned around and his feet left the ground.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“If possible, get out of this vicinity. Your choice if you choose to wait.”
“We’ll pray for your success in defeating that old hag!” Dante shouted while Phoenix was within earshot. The latter just smiled and flew into the woods faster using his mate’s scent as a trail.
After some minutes, he finally found Lavana and the angered woman engaged in a sizzling battle.
“Woah, our mate’s awesome. Just look at the way she’s using her sexy tails to slap that old hag. Hahaha!” his wolf, River, giggled.
Phoenix nodded, “Yeah, it is an entertaining sight. It’s her first epic battle. I’ll find a good tree so we can watch,” after saying this, he indeed found a tall tree with sturdy branches and sat on one of the branches, taking out some snacks from his spatial ring which he ate while watching the battle.
Both of them were now close to a lake and the queen was thinking of hurling Lavana into the water and casting a barrier all around the lake, so she can never come out of it. In the end, she’ll die due to lack of oxygen. Both were above the lake with them launching their powers at each other and skillfully evading attacks.
“Well, since you’re here, I must inform you that you’re finished, old hag!” Lavana proclaimed, casting more fireballs at the vexed witch in quick succession.
“Stop calling me that!”
“Aren’t you old?” Lavana chuckled.
“I’ll kill you!”
“Oh, please! You’ve said that over a hundred times. Aren’t I still alive?” Lavana grinned.
“Very good!” the woman let go of her sceptre which levitated and she began to make quirky hand movements. Lavana didn’t know what she was plotting but she wouldn’t just be idle and let the scheme come to fruition. So she raised her hands and several ice chains were launched out of the water, heading for the dumbfounded queen.
‘What’s this?’ she thought in her heart.
What kind of abnormality was this female she was battling today? First, she had nine tails- okay, she broke the record of Olmphas having a maximum of four tails. She can turn invisible- that was alright, as it’s a skill the Olmphas are blessed with, but she has fire powers, proving she’s of royal blood. That was acceptable too, but this bitch could also fly and despite having limited battle experience wasn’t an easy kill as she’d earlier thought. Just when she thought her plan to trap Lavana would come to reality, this damn female launched ice chains at her? Was she still an Olmpha wolf? Olmphas can’t fly nor have ice powers for that matter!
Nevertheless, she still had to run and not let those cold things touch her.
“You go nowhere, witchy!” Lavana launched another set of ice chains from the lake which caught the fleeing queen and dragged her back to the lake as more chains wrapped tightly around her, even her sceptre wasn’t spared. The chains that wrapped around it were trying to break it.
“How dare you!” she hollered, breaking free of the ice chains, fuming as she summoned the sceptre back to her. The chains that were trying to break it broke into bits and fell back into the lake.
“Girl, you must not be allowed to see the next sunshine!” she barked before quickly doing the strange hand gestures.
Lavana felt a force pull her into the water. When she struggled to reach the surface of the lake again, she saw a magical barrier above her and there was no oxygen.
Well, if she isn’t allowed to breathe at the surface, she can just do so underwater. With this in mind, she went back into the water and relaxed on a rock for a while. She felt the water become hot, unmistakably that woman’s doing, but she wasn’t bothered. This water wasn’t even up to one-tenth of the hotness of that in the ancestral island. Outside the barrier, the witch queen’s sceptre was blazing while the water bubbled with smoke ascending. She was determined to end that girl and free the world of the nuisance.
After a few minutes, she strangely felt someone tap on her left shoulder. She turned her head but found no one. Was she maybe hallucinating? But the feeling was real!
She focused on the boiling lake again. Just a few minutes more and she’ll undo the barrier and then confirm the bitch was really dead.
She heard a mocking chuckle behind her, “You’re really trying hard, old lady,” the voice was familiar. It was that girl’s. But she’s supposed to be in the lake, almost dead, right? Why was she hearing her voice outside the barrier now?
She felt someone pinch her waist and she was forced to turn her body around. She saw no one but felt someone pinching several parts of her body.
“Who?” the witch queen questioned with vexation, “Who has the guts to tease this queen? Show yourself!”
“Oh, come on. Don’t you like playing hide and seek? The game never gets old,”
“You… show yourself,” at this point, the queen was convinced that it was really Lavana teasing her and she needed no one to inform her that her foe was currently flying and making use of her invisibility skill.
She felt something cold and familiar wrap around her neck- an ice chain! How did this bitch get out of the lake? So she spent all this time boiling the water for nothing, while her foe watched her make a fool of herself? So hateful!
