Chapter 137 The Flesh Eater Of Great Eagle Forest [Part 2]
The Wendigo’s insidious chuckle reverberated throughout the forest, as if mocking Ethan for his futile attempt of rescuing its prey.
After dodging the young man's spell more than a dozen times, the monster stopped moving completely, allowing Ethan’s spell to hit it dead center.
But contrary to Ethan’s expectations, the moon beam he casted did nothing.
‘The Wendigo is also very resistant to magic,’ a voice spoke inside his head.
‘Only very powerful magic can harm it. If only Luna wasn’t affected by its Mind Spell, she could definitely wound that creature’s body.’
“Then what should we do?” Ethan muttered.
‘Pray that our Promised One didn’t see things wrongly.’
Ethan wanted to curse internally after hearing his other half’s words. Left with no choice, he picked up Luna and immediately ran as fast as he could.
His body was currently empowered by the spell Magna Amplifico that was casted through the Sea God’s Trident, so carrying Luna wasn’t a problem.
The problem was that, after running a dozen steps, the creature he was running away from appeared directly in front of him.
‘Damn!’ Ethan cursed internally as he hurriedly put down Luna behind him and summoned his trident.
The Wendigo chuckled and slashed at Ethan using its razor sharp nails.
Knowing that he had no choice but to stand his ground, the young man parried the attack, sending sparks flying in every direction every time their blows collided.
“Run, Luna!” Ethan gritted his teeth as he forced himself to endure each strike. “Run!”
Luna reluctantly obeyed and ran away, while Ethan stayed to keep the creature at bay.
Unfortunately, she had only taken a dozen steps when she once again clutched her head in pain as the Wendigo used its Mind Spell to prevent her from getting away.
With each strike, Ethan found himself taking a step back from the force of his opponent.
They only exchanged a few blows with each other, but his arms were already numb.
However, he had a feeling that the Wendigo wasn’t taking him seriously and was simply toying with him in order to make him feel helpless.
The Wendigo feeds on the negative feelings of its prey, and the more his prey despaired and feared him, the more delicious they would be when it ate them.
‘Such a sick bastard!’ Ethan thought as he decided to use his Trump Card.
Knowing what he wanted to do, his wand hovered in the air above him as he prepared to use the strongest attack in his arsenal.
“Illumina!”
A bright flash of light illuminated the surroundings as the silhouette of the Mermaid Princess materialized above the young man.
The Sea God’s Trident glowed brightly as a torrent of water enveloped its body. With one swift thrust of the trident, Ethan roared and put every bit of his magic power in a single attack.
“Rising Dragon Thrust!”
This was Ethan’s Trump Card and the only spell that would allow him to overwhelm stronger opponents. Since ordinary spells had no effect on the Wendigo, the only thing he could use to damage the Monster’s body was his Partial Resonance.
The Wendigo, on the other hand, only chuckled and faced the attack head on. Its glowing eyes looked at Ethan in disdain, and its evil chuckle was filled with contempt.
Its bony hands transformed into claws, and its sharp nails were then covered in a purple light imbued with Dark Magic. As an Ancient Creature who had lived for hundreds of years, it was confident that anything the boy used against it was futile.
A brilliant flash of light erupted as the Sea God’s Trident and the Monster’s clawed hands clashed with each other.
Ethan felt like he was hit by a truck when he was sent flying towards a tree.
At the moment of impact, he heard a crack on his left shoulder, making him cry out in pain before falling on the ground face first.
His trident embedded itself on the ground several meters away from him, and the radiant light that coated its body dimmed after a few seconds before disappearing completely.
The Wendigo, who was at the receiving end of Ethan’s desperate attack, had lost an entire arm and skidded a few meters away.
Despite its injury, only a chuckle escaped its lips as it walked towards the boy with its eyes glowing merrily.
The young man watched in pain and horror as the Wendigo’s arm slowly regenerated while the monster approached him.
This was the first time since he used his Partial Resonance that someone was able to remain standing after his full-powered attack.
“I’m sorry, Ethan.”
Illumina’s apologetic voice whispered inside his head.
“He’s too strong. Please, run away!”
Those were the last words that Ethan heard from the Mermaid Princess before he heard something dropping beside him.
Seeing his wand lay motionless on the ground, Ethan’s face turned grim.
Before he could even think of what to do next, the Wendigo stepped on his right arm, making Ethan shout in pain.
As if finding his screams music to its ears, the Wendigo chuckled and stepped on it repeatedly until another loud crack sounded, making Ethan’s scream intensify.
“Stop it!” Luna cried out as she forced herself to stand up. “It is me you want! Take me! And let him go!”
The Wendigo looked at her direction and emitted another chuckle. Seeing the desperation on her face, the monster decided to ignore her and stomped on Ethan’s legs next.
It could sense that the young man was important to the girl, so breaking him would effectively break her as well.
“Nooooooo!” Luna shouted as she ran towards the Wendigo and pounded its body with her fists. “Let him go! Monster! Let him go!”
The Wendigo pushed her away and continued to stomp on Ethan’s leg until it broke.
Then it shifted its attention on his other leg and did the same, crippling him completely.
Luna watched this with tears streaming down her eyes as she forced herself to stand up to help Ethan.
However, the Wendigo’s Mind Spell pinned her on the ground, forcing her to watch as the young man suffered.
Just as the monster was about to kick Ethan towards Luna, a boulder smashed on its body and sent it flying.
Luna looked in the direction where the boulder came from and saw a White Gorilla walk into the clearing.
“Up to your old tricks again, Fiend?” Koko asked in disdain. “Why don’t you pick someone your own size?”
The Wendigo groggily stood up before glaring at the White Gorilla who had thrown a boulder at him from behind.
A displeased look briefly flashed in its glowing eyes as it gazed at one of the Lords of the Great Eagle Forest who was known for its incredible physical strength.
The two stared at each other for a few seconds before Koko let out a furious roar and charged at its opponent.
High above the trees, a Giant Black Spider watched the battle silently. Its mandibles opened and closed as it waited for a good opportunity to strike.
Its eight eyes were locked on the body of the Wendigo, whom it treats as one of its mortal enemies.
Clearly, it was very displeased at the battle that was happening inside its territory.
