Chapter 661 Battling The Cursed Bee (2)
~
"Are you insane? I can\'t allow you to throw your life like that"
Hearing the insane proposition that Adhara said earlier especially knowing that she was hurt by one cursed beam sent by the Cursed Bee, Uncle Isniu definitely wouldn\'t let her proceed with her plan to fight the Cursed Bee one-on-one.
Despite the calm expression he was wearing, Adhara can see through him clearly.
Uncle Isniu has a very light presence that can hardly be detected by her, with the absence of his eyes due to the blindfold probably making it hard for many to look through him, but Adhara has a gift that nobody else has.
From the bleak blue aura he emitted, it\'s clear that he\'s worried and also scared at the same time.
Although the arrival of the Dark Elves to help them clear the cursed creatures was a blessing, Uncle Isniu definitely managed to do this by breaking some of their laws. Bringing quite a number of Dark Elves to help an unknown force, that person would be imprisoned for traitor charges if it\'s in human territory.
Coming here is a gamble, and she can grasp roughly why Uncle Isniu is worried she might die.
"Don\'t worry old elf, I\'m not going to die that easily"
Uncle Isniu can hear the straight confidence in her tone showing that she really believed that she was not going to die easily, if she were to die then the moment must be something spectacular. At least that is what she thought, and she won\'t allow herself to die against the Cursed Bee.
Knowing that he can\'t stop her, Uncle Isniu sigh before he put his palm on Adhara\'s back.
Gistella\'s barrier layers made a hole for his hand to touch Adhara\'s back, she heard their conversation even from afar and knows that there was no stopping her. It\'s better to assist her rather than try to stop her stubbornness.
Inducing fear into the Cursed Bee, no normal methods can achieve that.
"If you\'re going to do this, at least let me help you so that the cursed energy doesn\'t affect you too much", Uncle Isniu said before his hand started to glow with dark nature energy, shading Adhara\'s white furs in its majestic. "Anti-Curse Magic, Blessing of the Dark Nature..."
Swish!
Right after he chanted that, Adhara can feel a foreign energy mantling her entire body.
Just like the feeling of the moonlight energy strengthening her body during the full moon, this foreign energy also acts the same and creates a thin layer around her body that would act as protection from cursed energy.
If it were any other Supernatural, Adhara wouldn\'t possibly let them do this.
But since Kyran seems to trust the Dark Elves as they already signed the Oath Pact made by Queen Shanaela, she decided to give them a chance out of her respect for Kyran. Nodding her head, Adhara looks back at the Cursed Bee that is still fighting the other Dark Elves.
Only the brave ones were left, a little bit over a dozen of Dark Elves are left.
Uncle Isniu also looks at them before he commanded them with an authoritative tone, "Stand back and create a circle barricade, keep your eyes open and your body ready to help if the time presented itself"
Like a united unit, the Dark Elves jumped a powerful cursed slash before they dashed back.
Now that the Cursed Bee is not occupied by the Dark Elves anymore, its black compound eyes gaze at Adhara that is walking towards it without even hiding her killing intent, showing clearly that she wanted a fight with the Cursed Bee.
Some parts of the Cursed Bee were injured, but it immediately healed and turns back to normal.
This alone shows that the Cursed Bee wouldn\'t be killed through normal means, fear is not present within itself and that means the Curse of Cowardice is still active and protect it from all kinds of damage.
"You want to feel fear? Okay, I\'ll teach you how to feel fear...", Adhara mutters with a hostile tone.
Screech!!
As if the Cursed Bee knows that Adhara just mocked it right now, it lets out a powerful screech once more sending a cursed shockwave to the surroundings. Acting like a bell to the fight, Adhara dashes right at the Cursed Bee after it screeched.
Responding quickly, the Cursed Bee points its stinger and fired a couple of cursed beams at her.
Crack!
Just like the cursed beams that it fired before, Adhara can\'t follow their movements as the barrier created by Gistella melted instantly one by one. Not one of them is able to sustain a hit from the cursed beams, but she already expected this.
Gathering her White Omicron proxy energy into her legs, she dashes quicker like lightning.
Knowing exactly that the Cursed Bee has a clear disadvantage fighting in close-quarter combat, Adhara aimed for that as she tackle the Cursed Bee by stabbing her white glistening claws right at its humanoid body\'s chest.
Feeling her claws inside the Cursed Bee\'s body, she can tell instantly that its blood is corrosive.
Adhara also has corrosive blood but that only applies to Werewolves as she has the Anti-Werewolf bloodline, the Cursed Bee\'s blood contains dense cursed energy that attacks anything that touches it. But thankfully, the Blessing of the Dark Nature cast by Uncle Isniu helped her sustain that.
Only a warm feeling can be felt through her claws as she jabbed her claws deeper.
Both of them crash into the forest due to the tackling momentum, but the Cursed Bee didn\'t let this goes on as it raised two of its drill-like arms before clamping them both towards Adhara\'s side, wanting to stab her from either side.
Upon seeing this, Adhara was surprised to see that the Cursed Bee\'s movement is faster.
\'It gets stronger due to the fear it harvested from the fallen Dark Elves earlier\', Adhara thought in realization, but she already predicted the counter-attack the Cursed Bee is going to do as she jumps up to dodge.
Quickly before the Cursed Bee can recover, she landed a falling kick and stomp its head.
Boom!!
Adhara\'s stomp on the Cursed Bee\'s face cracked the ground and makes the huge trees in the surroundings stumble over the two of them, she keeps the pressure high while leaning her face down towards the Cursed Bee.
"Other cursed creatures seem to respect you, you must be feeling high and mighty like a King"
"I bet you\'ve never been stomped like this, have you?"
With a maniacal look on her face, she said that with a whispering voice.
Fighting back Adhara\'s stomp to look her in the eyes, the Cursed Bee suddenly replied which caught Adhara off guard since she didn\'t expect it to be able to speak. "Don\'t you dare mock me, Werewolf..."
But snapping out of her daze quickly, Adhara immediately went to work.
While the Cursed Bee is still under her, she starts stabbing and slashing with her claws like a berserk Werewolf during the full moon. Every time she moved her claws, blood flew high into the air, painting the night with the blood of the Cursed Bee.
Out of nowhere, Adhara spat a mouthful of blood when her chest was stabbed by the stinger.
Looking down at her chest she finds the pointy tip of the stringer penetrating her body completely, the injured Cursed Bee quickly regenerates as it stands up and flies with the buzzing sound rumbling again due to its rapid wings.
The Cursed Bee brought Adhara a little bit up into the air before another three spikes stab her.
Adhara groaned in pain as her right thigh, stomach, and right arm are stabbed by the cursed spike that exploded from the ground. Like a bloodthirsty maniac, she swung her left claw intending to claw the Cursed Bee.
Swoosh!
But moving quicker than herself, the Cursed Bee blocks the attack before its other arm sliced Adhara\'s right arm clean off. It happened in a split second before her arm got thrown to the side, splattering blood all over.
"Go ahead, fear me... I\'m the incarnation of your death", the Cursed Bee mutters hauntingly.
Instead of succumbing, Adhara puts on a smirk as a red crescent moon symbol appears.
"Don\'t know the weaklings that fought you in past, but you surely need to do more than this to take me down", she said before her strength experienced massive growth. Ignoring the cursed spikes that penetrate her, Adhara grabs the Cursed Bee by the head and pulls its head down to land a knee right on the face.
Bam!
Adhara then swipe her claws from above and sent the Cursed Bee crashing down to the ground.
Not even wasting a fraction of a second, she follows that swipe by landing behind the Cursed Bee and grabbing its wings. Like a ferocious beast, she tears the huge wings out of the Cursed Bee\'s body one by one with her claws before slapping the Cursed Bee with a powerful blow to the face.
Boom!
Crash!
Under the gaze of many, they saw the Cursed Bee crashes onto the open field once again.
Each of them was quite surprised to see the Cursed Bee being tossed around as if it was a regular cursed creature, their eyes then shifted to Adhara who is walking out of the darkness of the forest with her animalistic ferocious eyes.
Before she came out of the darkness, only the red crescent moon symbol and her eyes are glowing.
Uncle Isniu watches this from the side and can\'t help but finds it quite amusing to watch her fight, he also realized that Adhara\'s Werewolf form is something that he has never seen before. She\'s not like a regular Werewolf.
Although the Silverstar Pack has been notorious for its pack members, this is the first for him.
Not only Uncle Isniu but the other brave Dark Elves also feels a chill crawling up their spine seeing the bloodied appearance of Adhara right now, her ruthlessness is already quite fearsome. But what made them feel chills were the fact that she was not the Alpha.
If she\'s this ruthless and menacing, then they can\'t imagine how fearsome the Alpha is.
"How are you still standing...", the Cursed Bee mutters in confusion.
Despite the strong front, Adhara can feel the fire ants crawling inside her body right now, the Cursed Bee injected something inside of her body when it penetrates her with the stringer earlier. It made her body experience a lot of pain, but she held on and was determined to end this battle before she succumb to the pain.
Remembering the gruesome and bloodied fights Rex has gone through, this should be nothing.
"Did you do something? I hardly notice it", Adhara replied mischievously.
Upon hearing this the Cursed Bee gritted its teeth before it started flying once again, cursed energy gathered violently on its stinger which indicates that it was going to use the strongest attack it has in its arsenal.
But instead of backing down, Adhara\'s eyes flash as she knows that this is her ultimate chance.
Looking down to the ground many cursed spikes also burst once again but it contains more cursed energy than before. Unlike before, Adhara just stands there without moving as an earth spike headed straight to the center of her chest.
Uncle Isniu frown while watching from the side, \'What is she doing...?\'
Although he was worried that the cursed spike might end her life right here, Gistella that saw this only smiled knowing exactly what Adhara is doing. As the Anti-Werewolf, she has an innate ability exclusive to the White Omicron Proxy.
Crack!
Swoosh!
When the tip of the cursed spike reaches her chest, it went through her as if she was a ghost.
Upon seeing this the Cursed Bee was surprised to see that the cursed spike didn\'t manage to impale her when she managed to do that earlier, but this makes it even angrier and gathered more cursed energy while reaching a high point in the sky.
"Die, Werewolf!!"
Swoosh!
The tip of its stinger glowed brightly before it fired countless cursed beams.
Since the cursed beams are not physical attacks Adhara knows that she needs to dodge this, her senses are at an all-time alert as she spreads her arm to the side embracing the incoming cursed beams, "I am the Female Alpha of the Silverstar Pack! Pray to your cursed Gods that this will be enough to defeat me because if not... I\'ll make sure you die before the night ends!!"
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
