MERCIA
69. The Battle of the Witches.

Gessora did not expect to get a surprise attack from the red-haired woman, punches and kicks repeatedly hit her. Sonja does not give Gessora a chance to fight, she releases a red ball of light towards Gessora.

Blarrr..

The explosion occurred when the ball hit Gessora's body, the body was crushed into pieces of flesh scattered in all directions. Freya and the others were stunned.

"He killed her?"

"i've never met an elf with such great power" Freya said.

"it's not finished yet." said Minerva.

Sonja remained vigilant, her eyes observing the surroundings suddenly from within the ground appeared a pair of black-colored hands with extremely long and pointed nails grasping both her legs and pulling her.

Sonja broke one of those arms, but in an instant dozens of other hands clasped her and continued to pull her whole body down to the bottom of the ground, as if the ground was turning into quicksand.

Freya and the others watched the incident tensely.

Duarrr..

The ground that swallowed Sonja exploded to create a basin, Sonja then appeared hovering above her. The other creatures now began to run towards him.The mark on Sonja's forehead lit up brightly, he twisted his body super fast against the clockwise direction, he said, a wind accompanied by a flash of red-colored lightning appeared enveloping his body.

The powerful force of the wind caused the horde of creatures to rise into the air and the flash of red lightning to tear apart until it was left, the atmosphere in the vault was like a rain of blood.

"Who are you really?"

Sonja turned her back, she saw Gessora reappear.she did not answer, she immediately attacked, Gessora pulled out dozens of black wisps that came out of her hands and then pointed at Sonja who lunged towards her.

Sonja did not have time to dodge, dozens of the blobs hit her in an instant her body was wrapped in the blob and sucked it up like food inside an airtight plastic, making it difficult to breathe and move floating in the air. Gessora stomped her hands out dozens of sharp thorns shot out towards Sonja.

wush..

The mark on Sonja's forehead lit up again, he opened his mouth and shouted. "Yeahaaaa..!"

The red light out of his mouth made him free and the light shattered the thorns and struck him until it pierced through Gessora's chest.

Gessora fell down with a large hole in her chest, her body evaporating when it touched the ground.

"hahaha, you think you're that easy to beat me"

Sonja turned her body, but at the same time Gessora had already released a purplish beam towards her.

kraj. duarr..

The purple light hit Sonja's shoulder causing him to be thrown several meters away, appearing to have blackened the wound on his shoulder.

"Sylvana.. Sonja you don't kill him, he'll reappear stronger" Helena said.

Gessora looked at Helena furiously, she let out a purple-colored ball of light towards the dome protecting them.

Wuss... Blarrr..

The dome was shattered, Helena and the others bounced, their chests feeling tight. Gessora floated up both hands, hundreds of dog-headed creatures reappeared from within the ground attacking the four of them.

"Sonja are you okay?" ask Helena.

"I can still survive."

The four of them fought against the endless creatures, every single creature was destroyed then two would appear from the ground.

As their concentration focused on the dog-headed creature, Gessora released a black beam towards Freya.

"Freya beware..!" shout Minerva.

But late, Freya did not realize the arrival of the light, she did not have time to avoid, the light hit her forehead, she finally collapsed unconscious.

"Let's go. I'll kill you" said Minerva.

He wants to help Freya but the creatures continue to attack him make it desperate. Freya's body immediately floated closer to Gessora.

Gessora opened her mouth, she sucked the core energy from Freya.

"Freyaa.."

Minerva with her last strength leaps to save Freya, but her slow movement of poisonous gas has crippled half her strength. Gessora simply moved her hand as sharp thorns shot towards Minerva.

The thorns were directly stuck in Minerva's legs, shoulders and stomach.he was bounced, his breath was tight, from his mouth came thick black blood.

"Freya forgive me." said Minerva weakly.

When they saw Minerva sprawled dog-headed creatures increasingly violent they ran towards Minerva want to tear his body, He just resigned, but unexpectedly the creatures that lunged at him were bounced, he just resigned, so did Sonja and Helena.

The three of them were shocked, their shock turned into a smile of hope.At the back they had gathered hundreds of Innodale city magicians.

"Before we thought it was you, and we wanted to teach you a lesson, but you don't seem to be behind this" one told Minerva.

"Save Freya, I don't care if you all want to kill me, that woman named Gessora, she's my previous teacher, she wants to kill Freya."

"We'll talk about it later, you all heard?! we have to save Freya."

The war ensued as the witches became two groups, some attacking the creature, others trying to free Freya, but liberating Freya was not an easy matter.

"Damn how do we take Freya out of her hands?" said one of them.

"Who among you has the power of light?" ask Helena.

There's no answer.

Suddenly there was a very loud explosive sound then followed by a cracking sound.

Duaarrr. krak.. Prangs..

"No way..!" Gessora surprise.

"Mercia.." Helena smiled.

August floated down beside Helena, all eyes looking at her.

"Tell me what happened so quickly?" august asked, his eyes looking at Freya who was in the grip of Gessora.

"The woman Gessora, the teacher of Minerva, wants to suck Freya's soul, if Proxima succeeds will be in danger. Minerva fought him and got hurt" Helena said.

Mercia looked at Minerva with extremely severe injuries, she was slightly surprised to see a red-haired elf.

"Who is that red-haired elf? why does his face look like Sylvana?" ask August.

"She was Sylvana, but she is now Sonja" Helena replied.

"Hey you're human, who are you?" ask Gessora.

August ignored Gessora, he walked towards the red-haired woman.

Sonja looked at August warily.

"You're called Sonja?" ask August.

"You don't try to hurt Sylvana or I'll kill you."

"My name is Mercia, you're hurt, let me treat you."

"i don't need your help!"

August just smiled.

"Hey fucker! I'm talking to you!" gessora said grimly.

August turned his body.

"I am the one who will kill you, be patient a little."

"Can I talk to Sylvana?"

"Can't."

Sonja's red eyeballs are back to normal.

"what are you doing Sonja? he's my friend, he'll help us."

"Be quiet, Sylvana, I can't believe this guy."

"You're crazy Sonja, if it's not for that we don't have a map of the Moonheaven."

"Be quiet." Sonja's eyes turned red.

Hearing Moonheaven's words everyone was shocked. August stood looking at Gessora.

"Let go of Freya and you can leave this place peacefully."

"Hahaha, I can't believe a human is threatening me."

Gessora floated down, while Freya was still floating in the air wrapped in black smoke, Gessora touched the ground with her right palm, her eyeball blackened, black clouds instantly covered the sunlight, she then pulled her hand, her eyes blackened, the ground shook back the corpses of the witches who had been the victims suddenly rose up and stood in front of Gessora into a guard army.

"KILL THEM ALL..!"

The bodies of the witches and hundreds of dog-headed creatures began to move in attack.

"Mercia healed Minerva" Helena's love.

"I'd really like to kill him for what he did to my friend."

"Mercia, you forgive me for what I did to you, why don't you do it to her?" said Helena.

Minerva was only speechless hearing Helena and Mercia's conversation, she lowered her head as Mercia walked towards her.

"i want you to remember today, if it wasn't for Helena I wouldn't have healed your wounds, if after all this you still hurt anyone I know, I would have finished you off in front of Freya."

"i understand." said Minerva weakly.

August emits a greenish glow from his hand, he touches the wound in Minerva's abdomen, his left hand gives off a golden light and he puts it on Minerva's forehead.

Minerva felt a cooling air neutralize her pain, her strength slowly returning, in a lying state she stared at Mercia's face which seemed drained of her energy.

"Save your sister." August was so exhausted he collapsed, but he threw a greenish light at the red-haired woman.

Sonja was surprised by the green light hitting her, the wound on her shoulder instantly disappeared, she looked towards the source of the light and saw Mercia was already limp and fell in the arms of Minerva who was holding her body.

'Based on the man making a fuss, I ask only to heal rather than give him strength.' Helena said in her heart.

"Minerva quickly survived Freya, let me take care of Mercia" said Helena who did not want to see Mercia in Minerva's arms.

Minerva nodded her head then moved into the battle arena to fight Gessora.

"Sonja protect me, I will make a protector for Mercia" Helena said.

Sonja immediately jumped to guard the two from the attack coming towards them.

"You're a fool for giving him power." Helena looked upset.

August only smiled for a moment before his gaze turned dark. Helena returned the smile, she immediately made a protective dome for her.
