Chapter 23 Flames of Chaos
A deafening howl tore through the battlefield.
Olivia barely registered the sound as she staggered, her body screaming for relief. Her vision swam, the world tilting beneath her feet. Her fingers twitched around her blade, but she had no strength left to lift it.
Diana collapsed beside her, barely able to breathe, her wind magic flickering around her fingers before dying out. Luke was on one knee, blood dripping from a deep gash in his side.
Tyler and Henrik stood back to back, fending off the Bowolfs, but their movements were sluggish, their attacks weaker.
The debris began to rumble, shaking violently before tentacles flew out from within it. The Octopus monster resurfaced, its remaining one eye looked mad and held evil intent.
They all turned towards the direction of the sound. Their mouths opened wide in fear and surprise. The weight of the collapsed cave didn't hold him down for a long time.
A deep rumbling vibration spread across the ground, as the monster moved towards them. Even the Bowolfs had to stop for a moment. Their bone-like tails stuck between their legs.
'No... no, no, no.' Olivia's thoughts spiraled in panic.
It seems like she brings nothing but destruction to those close to her. But why? Why did we have to encounter such a situation? She knew she would attract the bad attributes.
She turned to look at the other students. Bella had fallen, her whip lying limply in the dirt. Ellie was struggling to stand, her staff trembling in her grip.
Liam hovered in the air, releasing a massive energy, which disintegrated the Bowolfs into ashes. But his energy began to dim, blood splattered from his mouth, his body teetering dangerously like a candle about to be blown out.
