Just like a raging bull, Koko charged at its target fearlessly.
As it was about to hit its target, the Wendigo turned into a black mist, completely avoiding the White Gorilla’s charge.
Koko, who had already expected this to happen, stomped its foot on the ground, stopping its charge completely before going for a backhand blow.
As if knowing that its opponent couldn’t remain in its mist form for a long time, the White Gorilla’s fist connected with the side of the Wendigo’s body, sending the creature smashing against the tree behind it.
Koko didn’t give its opponent any time to recover and jumped high in the air using its entire weight to body slam its opponent.
Unfortunately, the Wendigo managed to roll to its side, evading the Gorilla’s attack, making the latter smash against the tree, destroying it completely.
While the two Overlords were fighting against each other, Luna was finally able to approach Ethan to check his condition.
A sob escaped her lips when he saw how serious his injuries were.
Blood was seeping out the corner of Ethan’s lips, while his limbs were twisted at unnatural angles.
“L-Luna… run,” Ethan said through gritted teeth. “Don’t… let that monster… catch you.”
Luna ignored his words, and helped Ethan drink the potion she procured from her storage ring.
When the sweet liquid entered his lips, the pain he felt decreased a bit, making him feel a little better. He could tell that the potion that she gave him had restorative effects, but it would not be enough to fix his broken arms and legs. 𝑶𝚟𝓵xt.𝑪𝔬𝗆
Even so, he was still thankful because it at least made the pain he was feeling bearable.
“Don’t move,” Luna said. “I will try to realign your bones. This will be painful, but bear with it.”
Ethan nodded before gritting his teeth.
Seeing that he was ready, the young lady held his right arm firmly before giving it a tug, realigning his bones.
The young man endured the pain as tears streamed down his eyes. However, he knew that his suffering was only beginning because Luna still needed to realign his other arm, and both of his legs.
If Luna could use her magic, she might have done it in a less painful manner.
But, every time she channeled magic inside her body, she would feel a stinging pain inside her head, as if it was being stabbed by hundreds of needles.
The only thing she could do now was treat him as quickly, and as precisely, as possible.
Fortunately, she received training in the academy for how to deal with such injuries without using magic.
A few minutes later, she had successfully realigned all of Ethan’s broken bones, but the problem still remained. Due to the young man’s injuries, she was unable to escape with him, while Koko fought against the Wendigo.
Luna would never leave him behind, and Ethan knew this as well.
No matter how much he pleaded for her to run away, the young lady didn’t budge an inch, and sat beside him with a determined look on her face.
The sound of Koko’s roars, the Wendigo’s demented chuckle, and the breaking of trees, reverberated inside the forest
Despite the White Gorilla’s incredible strength, it was unable to deal a lethal blow to its enemy, who had strong regeneration ability, could turn into black mist, and use powerful Dark Magic.
In fact, Koko’s white fur was now dyed red with blood because the Wendigo wasn’t any less feral and brutal than it.
It was an Ancient Monster that was older than the White Gorilla, and had fought strong Wizards, Witches, and Magical Beasts during its lifetime.
Even though Ethan used a Partial Resonance, the Wendigo was confident that it could endure the damage it could pose to its body.
In order to defeat this Monster, one must use a powerful spell that would disintegrate its body instantly, not leaving any part behind, which it could use to regenerate itself.
Breaking every bone in its body, blowing off its limbs, or severing its head, would not kill the creature because it was nearly immortal due to the power it had absorbed over a very long period of time.
This was also why Koko didn’t want to fight this beast alone, and had to ask for Broodmother’s help in order to deal with their unruly neighbor.
When Ethan started to fight against the Wendigo, Koko and the Broodmother heard the commotion and immediately rushed in order to investigate what was happening.
Fortunately, they arrived before it was too late.
“A little help here!” Koko complained as he smacked the head of the Wendigo, making it scream in pain.
A series of clicking sounds spread in the surroundings, alerting Koko of what was about to come.
Understanding what its accomplice planned to do, the White Gorilla roared as it smashed its two fists into the Wendigo’s face repeatedly, pinning it on the ground.
After a dozen blows, the White Gorilla lifted its opponent and threw it towards a tree.
At that exact moment, countless spider silks descended from the sky, pinning the Vile Monster on the tree, until its entire body was covered with spiderwebs.
If they were fighting an ordinary opponent, this combination attack would be enough to finish it.
Unfortunately, they weren’t fighting an ordinary enemy.
Purple flames burned the spider silk away, and the Wendigo emerged from the trap that the Broodmother had prepared for it unharmed.
A second later, it turned into a black mist, just in time to evade an acid spray that melted the ground under its feet.
The Broodmother didn’t stop and continued its relentless attack, forcing the Wendigo to distance itself from Koko, who was standing between the Wendigo and the two teenagers behind it.
Koko gave Ethan and Luna a backward glance before sighing in its heart.
‘This is bad,’ Koko thought. ‘This bastard is stronger than we anticipated.’
Just as the White Gorilla was thinking about what to do next, a bright ray of light struck the Wendigo, who was busy evading Broodmother’s acid sprays.
The light was so intense that it blasted a hole in the Wendigo’s chest, making the monster shriek in pain.
Koko and the Broodmother raised their heads to look at the three figures that were floating in the sky.
Suddenly, a cold, and chilling voice filled with killing intent reached everyone’s ears.
“Don’t think you will be able to escape after hurting the students of my academy.”
Professor Rinehart raised his wand, and created a barrier of light in the surroundings, preventing any creature from leaving.
Floating on the Headmaster’s right side was none other than the strongest Magistratus, when he was still in active service, Professor Barret.
Professor Ophelia, who also became a Magistratus just recently, landed in front of Ethan and Luna, guarding them from further harm.
Seeing that the number of its opponent had increased, another chuckle escaped the Wendigo’s lips, as the hole in its chest slowly regenerated.
However, if one were to listen closely, its chuckle was no longer filled with amusement and disdain.
Instead, there was a hint of anxiety in it.
For the first time since it had decided to head South from its Domain, the Wendigo was starting to think that coming here was a bad idea.
