CHAPTER 298~3RD PERSON’S POV~Marie and her team arrived on the island where the Asuras would be released into the world. It was a large island far north off the mountain range that housed Firgatten. The island was covered in snow, and heavy winds blew over the entire land. There wasn't a single plant or animal in sight; different rocky hills could be seen on this vast land. All eight of them marched through the snow with thick clothing that Valerie had provided for them beforehand. Steven was in charge of reading the map to find the exact location where the Asuras would be released because he had studied a lot about these parts and had always wanted to visit them himself. Even if he hadn't been here before, he knew the place so well that it almost seemed like he'd lived here all his life.He led the team through the blizzard, over a hill, and through thick layers of snow and ice until they finally made it to where their battle would take place. “The spot marked with the X is over
CHAPTER 299~3RD PERSON’S POV~Maria stood in front of the gates of the Dragnon mansion, her fists tightening and her brows furrowed as she stared into the distance. Clarabelle stood a short distance behind her, also waiting for the artificial wolves to attack.A dense forest surrounded the entire mansion, cutting it off from the main city of Mystic Meadow, and the only connection the mansion had to the outside world was a long road stretching from the gates into the darkness of the forest.Maria stared into the forest, gritting her teeth as the sounds of raging footsteps pierced through her ear. The sounds of roars and rustles of bushes were so clear that she could almost clearly picture how far the artificial werewolves were from the mansion.“Why is it that the artificials are taking so long to attack? My vision was completely different from this. I have to figure out how these abilities work, or Maria might end up getting hurt for real,” Clarabelle thought to herself as she stared
CHAPTER 300~3RD PERSON’S POV~Clarabelle walked to the Divine path and placed her right palm on the giant Clarabeth’s lower shin. She let out a soft breath and closed her eyes. After a few seconds, her body was enveloped in white light, and her eyes opened, glowing brightly. A small, glowing dot appeared on a single branch and began moving quickly through the branches of the glowing tree.~•~“Shhh! She’s coming, she’s coming,” Clarabelle said, standing in front of her room’s door. Everyone in the room went quiet, and she moved closer to the door. She let out a quiet giggle, placing her right palm over her lips. The moment she saw the door open slightly, she grabbed the handle and pulled it open.“Welcome, how was your trip? I hope you guys didn’t get ambushed,” she asked, jumping in front of Gabriella, who stood on the other side of the door. Gabriella jumped back in shock, instinctively raising her arms up to defend herself.“Ambushed?!” Gabriella exclaimed.“Yes, these territories
CHAPTER 301 ~3RD PERSON’S POV~ Clarabelle sat quietly on the edge of the bed Maria lay on. Her eyes were filled with wonder and curiosity as she stared at her glowing right palm. Her palm let out a bright blue, icy glow and released what looked like glowing steam from her fingertips. She let out a sigh, closed her eyes, and curled her fingers into a fist. “You were finally able to access that power, weren't you?” Maria's voice sounded from behind her. Clarabelle, a little startled, turned to Maria. “Oh, ummm, yeah. I was. I'm not sure exactly how, but I was able to gain access to all the powers of the Immortal of Fate with just one try. I saw memories of all the past Clarabeths. I felt all their struggles and all their happiness, and with that, I was able to follow all their Divine paths to unity, where our true power resided. I was only moving through my fork in the Divine Tree, but I felt like I was moving through all of theirs as well,” Clarabelle answered. “Well, I
CHAPTER 302~3RD PERSON'S POV~Nicole and Melody moved swiftly through the forest, toward the area where the forcefield was located. Nicole hovered using a glowing, orange, magical disc, and Melody just flew around, dodging the trees and large rocks in the way. They both had already seen the helicopter fly off, so they knew Mary was already going against her parents. Their only problem was getting to the forcefield, as the distance it was from where they opened their portal was too much. “Hey, couldn't you just use spacial magic to take us there? It's starting to look like this forest is playing tricks on us,” Melody asked, turning to Nicole.Nicole looked around, her eyes scanning past each tree, shrub, and rock. “I can't use spacial magic or any other kind of magic. Something is blocking me from doing it. This is bad; it means we can't teleport home unless we can find a place where I will be able to use spatial magic,” she responded. “But you're right,” she continued, then stopped
CHAPTER 303~3RD PERSON’S POV~The team of eight continued to fight against the Asuras, cutting through and destroying their forces with as much speed, strength, and precision as they could. They all fought with rage in their hearts, determined to end the battle as quickly as possible, but the Asuras were just too many. It didn't matter what the team did or what amount of power they used; the Asuras just kept coming like an endless sea of stars.The Asuras armor-like skin had become so strong that Edith's blade and Anima Morning Star both broke on impact. The two Immortals had to summon their weapons again and again during the fight just to avoid getting killed. They had to look for a new way to kill these Immortals, and that way was to attack them at points where their armour didn't cover—the gaps in the skin that revealed their glowing orange flesh. Targeting these parts was especially difficult for the werewolves because they didn't have long-range weapons, and getting too close t
CHAPTER 304~3RD PERSON’S POV~Mary was accompanied into the building by a group of four people. Two of them were maids, and the other two were Agnes’s soldiers. All four of them still had that eerie smile on their faces, and their eyes still glowed bright red, making them look like their minds were being controlled. They walked into the glass building and led Mary to a magical elevator that didn’t require electricity to work. Mary had her guard up, prepared to launch an attack at anyone who tried to annoy her. At this moment, she was already very pissed off, and anyone who tried to attack her now would be walking into their grave.The elevator door closed and started to rise up the building. Everyone was unusually quiet, and none of Mary’s escorts wanted to make eye contact with her. Mary watched them through the glass wall in front of her—they looked like dolls, stiff and lifeless, like they had been programmed to only move when they were given orders.The elevator rose for over tw
CHAPTER 305~3RD PERSON'S POV~~years ago~“You idiot, don’t go playing with sharp objects if you’re going to lose your mind like that; you know how dangerous that power of yours is,” Agnes queried.“I’m so sorry, I was only trying to get over my fear of blood; it’s really hard,” Mary replied nervously, stroking the back of her head slowly.“Don’t do that anymore. You’ll end up hurting everyone around you,” Agnes said. “But I’ll have you to slap me back to my senses before that happens, right?” Mary said.Agnes smiled. “Yeah, but next time I’ll make sure to slap you even harder so you get knocked out before coming back to your senses.” Both she and Mary laughed together, and the four teachers just stared at them with confused expressions on their faces.~•••~“I lied to you the other day, Mary. I’m not friends with you because you’re a good person or make life interesting for me. I mean, you do, but that’s not the reason.”“Then what is?” Mary asked.“It’s because I feel very ashamed
