224 Head-On Confrontation
[Mona’s P.O.V.]
I took a deep breath and kicked open the door in before me as fast as I could. The moment I did, I used my ability without hesitation to throw Nicholas flying into the air and into the wall fiercely before he landed on the ground.
“What the hell? Who the hell are you?” He immediately got up, but I didn’t answer him.
“You’re a Werewolf of Chaos?” When he noticed that I had used my ability, he immediately knew who I was and was shocked because I could see his pupils quaking.
I used my ability again to throw any inanimated object I could find in the room at him. He screamed shrilly as he tried to avoid everything. Regardless, he was still hit several times by a vase and a few books.
“I won’t ask again. Who the hell are you?” He yelled as he dodged.
“I’m the Werewolf of Chaos you’ve been looking for,” said I to him.
“What?”
His pupils continued to quake but I ignored him for a moment as I found Emily lying on the ground. Her mouth was agape, also shocked by the scene she was witnessing.
Above her was a window where I noticed a few trees standing thick and tall under the moonlight. The moon goddess was helping me tonight.
Once again, I activated my ability to snap the branches of the trees and throw them at Nicholas, their sharper edges aimed at his heart. The branches flew toward him like a rain of arrows released by archers.
“No!”
I heard a shout as the branches hit, but not at the person I intended.
The man named Nick, his servant had just flashed back to the place when he saw what was happening. Without a second thought, he jumped out in time and stood in front of his master.
He had saved Nicholas, but not himself. I watched the branches hit his chest before he fell to the ground, twitching. He eventually stopped moving. He was dead.
‘D*mn it’ was the only thing I could think of. This was not my intended outcome.
“You’re the female Werewolf of Chaos?”
Nicholas felt no remorse for his subordinate who had just died for him. He simply stared at me and then at Emily, stunned and scared on the ground.
“Well, you do look and act more the part than her. And you have abilities. This must be fate. The Werewolf of Chaos has delivered herself to us,” said Nicholas as he smiled.
“You d*mn b*tch set a trap for me?”
Although Emily’s frightened face had turned ashen, she still managed to shout at me. If I were her, I would definitely choose to shut up now because either of us could easily kill her.
“Nicholas, I’m here to kill you,” said I quietly. “As for you, Emily, you know very well what dirty things you’ve done. You deserve the worst outcome, but not now.”
“You’re a monster! You lied to Alpha! Your son is a b*stard! You’ll never replace me as Luna!” She continued to scream at me.
“Ladies, it seems that your pack is not as harmonious as it appears. It’s a pity that you’ll have to go to Hell to settle it.” Nicholas straightened his collar as he smiled at me again and flew into the air.
The next thing I knew, he had lifted me up and thrown me to the same spot on the wall where I had thrown him. He had done the same thing I did to him. The impact made me a little dizzy. But I quickly stood up.
I decided to try my previous move again. I controlled the broken sharp branches to rise and fly towards him at high speed. But he dodged and blocked them with his arms. He was moving so fast, but two pieces still managed to pierce the skin of his arms. He roared at me angrily and I could tell that I had succeeded in provoking him.
But I also quickly realized that despite how strong I had become, he had only suffered superficial injuries. Why was he able to block my attack so easily? What was I doing wrong?
If stabbing him in the heart with a piece of wood was the answer, someone would have killed him long ago. What did I miss?
As I was thinking, a powerful force came at me again. I dodged but I was still caught in the blast, pushing me back until my head and back slammed into the wall.
I didn’t have time to catch my breath as he attacked me again. Still, I focused and activated my energy to throw him into the ceiling of the room. The point of impact cracked and a few crumbled pieces of the plaster fell.
I didn’t want to play a long game with Nicholas but I needed to so that I could figure out how to take him out.
It was time to use my other ability, the illusion of despair.
