Chapter 554: MONSTER ATTACK (2)

Vermeyes was a monster with a pair of small red eyes, which didn’t match its monstrous body and it couldn’t run fast enough. But this time, they could actually rush toward their carriage and before their warriors could take the three of them down, one managed to break free and plowed into the side of the carriage.

The Vermeyes stepped on the horses, before it sent the carriage rolling down the hill.

"Oh, no!" Joel couldn’t do anything, aside from watching in horror when the monster sent the carriage rolling down the hill and it was a wreck with four people inside, as their bodies hit the sturdy carriage, not to mention there were a few things inside, such as a table and some cups, which shattered and hurt them more.

Joel was thrown out of the carriage and landed hard on the ground. As he lifted his head, he watched in horror when the carriage went down the steep hill, heading toward the cliff.

"Someone help the Luna!!!" Joel screamed, but when he looked around, he could see why no one came to his aid yet, as they were swarmed by a lot of monsters.

Massive attacks like this one were not common. Yes, they set out during a season where the monsters were very active, but this was too much. Even when they finally went back to the Howling Wolf pack from the Blue Moon pack, the monster attack was not this massive.

It overwhelmed them.

But, a second later, Joel caught something white from the corner of his eyes and it was Lil Thing! The white bear rushed to catch the carriage with a few monsters following behind it.

Thankfully, those monsters didn’t really care about Joel, who was sitting there, flabbergasted, as they aimed for a bigger treat.

Meanwhile, it was an amazing sight to see how the sloppy and lazy bear could outrun the carriage that rolled down so fast on the steep hill and actually stopped it by using its body. The white bear let out a loud and dangerous roar when the carriage made a collision with its body. The sound of it was so painful and it actually managed to stop the carriage before it could fall off the cliff.

Joel held his breath to watch everything that unfolded. He couldn’t care less about whether he was being attacked by the monsters or not, since in his current state, there was no way he would be able to defend himself and the only thing in his mind was the three people inside the carriage.

"Al... alpha! ALPHA!" Joel screamed at the top of his lungs when he saw the monsters that followed Lil Thing attacking the white bear without so much of a counterattack, aside from receiving a dangerous growl and viscous snarls, which didn’t stop them at all, since the monsters knew their target was in an helpless position.

The problem was; if Lil Thing fought the monsters, it had to let go of the carriage and for sure, it would slide down and fall off the cliff.

At this point, Lil Thing could only endure it, until help came.

"ALPHA! ALPHA!" Joel could only scream for his alpha, to get his attention, as he was pretty far from them and also swarmed by many monsters. There was a high chance Cane didn’t notice Iris’ predicament yet. "ALPHA CANE!"

Joel felt his chest tighten to see blood smearing Lil Thing’s white fur, as it tried to defend itself by using only one hand, but it made the carriage unstable.

Lil Thing wouldn’t last long without any help. It was either the bear letting go of the carriage or itself being devoured by the monsters and eventually letting the carriage lose the only thing that stood between it and the cliff.

In that critical moment, a black wolf dashed toward its predicament and ferociously fought all the monsters. It was the Alpha and the sight of him let Joel breathe in relief, but it didn’t mean they were free from the existing problem.

During the fight, suddenly, the carriage exploded! Dirt flew in the air and the explosion left white smoke in its wake. It knocked off some monsters nearby and almost made Lil Thing stumble toward the cliff, before it steadied itself.

Once the dust settled, they saw Iris, Celia and Haco there. The sorcerer held the other two close to him, groaning in pain and breathing heavily.

Cane only let the sorcerer keep one magic stone, just in case he needed it, despite his declining health and memories.

Seeing the three of them alive, the black beast resumed fighting off those monsters, lest they attacked his mate and the other two again. In this situation, it was enough for him to confirm his mate was alive, despite the injuries she sustained.

Celia was unconscious, but Iris was heavily injured, it seemed she took the brunt because she shielded the little girl during their predicament when the carriage rolled down the hill. Blood oozed out from her head, as she curled herself in pain.

But, when Iris opened her eyes and watched themselves being surrounded by monsters and how Cane, in his beast form, tried to fight them off with Lil Thing, she immediately pushed herself off the ground. She could feel it. The black magic that surrounded them and the thing that was controlling these monsters.

This attack was too massive. It involved at least four types of monsters, which was unheard of, as each type was a natural enemy for the others, thus it didn’t make sense they worked together for an attack.

Iris gritted her teeth, the pain made her head feel so light, but it was not something that she had never endured before. She had gone through worse than this and despite how fragile she looked, she had a high tolerance of pain.

Ignoring her body that was screaming in agony, Iris stood up and did something she was good at. She purified the black magic that surrounded the monsters around her.

And once she managed to do that, it was easy enough for the Alpha and Lil Thing to kill them all.

It seemed black magic was the reason why these monsters could work together and were way strong. The same thing that happened to those warriors from the Blue Moon pack, as they were so hard to be killed when they were under the influence of black magic.

After that, Iris walked toward Lil Thing. Knowing Cane wouldn’t let her go closer to the heart of the battle that was still going on, she chose the white bear to take her there.

"Take me there," Iris said to Lil Thing, as she climbed on top of the white bear. Its fur was sleek with blood and she grimaced when the bear whimpered in pain when she sat on its back. It didn’t shake her off of its body but obliged her.

Realizing Iris’ intention, the black beast immediately followed behind in an attempt to stop them, but Lil Thing had already taken Iris halfway there and it was close enough for her to purify the black magic around.

"STOP!" Iris roared.
