Trinity the last White Witch - Chapter 69

[Trinity’s POV]

Not long, a thin fog circled the area I was standing, and it gathered and took the form of a foggy white knight.

RoOaArR!

Upon seeing Dorothy and the others escape the room, the beast howled and tempted to chase after them. But it was too big to move at a comfortable speed in the tight area.

But its strength was another level when it swept Michael and Ric with its enormous hand. Ric evaded while Michael blocked with his sword, and he flew against the wall.

The beast took it as an advantage and chased after Dorothy and the others. Even the Earl was no longer present; it seemed like its mind was hell-bent on getting his daughters.

What an obsessed father.

“Stop it!” I ordered the Knight, and he immediately hid my command.

The Knight was half the beast’s size, but its strength was equal to it. The Knight and the beast were on lock combat while Ric joined in and managed to land a blow onto the beast’s back.

But its tough hide prevented Ric from landing a critical strike.

Meanwhile, I went to Michal and checked if he was alive. It would be troublesome if he died.

“You okay?”

He groaned and shook his head. “I . . . I think so.”

He had blood on his head, and I checked how bad the damage was. I breathed a sigh of relief when it was just a small scrape.

Rather, I was amazed to see that the wound was closing on its own, and his head was good as new.

He really is the Saintess.

“Nothing is broken?” I asked.

“I hope so.”

I assisted him on his feet, and it took another second for him to stand on his own.

“Don’t worry. I heal fast.” He winked and threw me a dimpled smile.

“You don’t say.”

ClaAnG!

CliInNg!

Footsteps rattled and echoed in the hallway. The soldiers had finally arrived.

“What’s going on here?!”

“Who are you?!”

Tsk. I clicked my tongue and threw a dud in the hallway. Before the soldier could grasp what was happening, they fell on the floor with closed eyes and gaping mouths.

It would be troublesome if they joined in as well.

RoAar!

Our attention was stolen when the beast leaped out of the window and jumped outside.

“Not good!” Michael and I ran towards the window and saw that it was after Dorothy and the others again. It must have smelled their scent even from meters away.

Before I could shout to after it, Michael swept me off my feet and jumped onto the tree, leaping from branches to breaches before he landed on the ground on both feet.

Carrying me still in his arm, he bolted after the beast while I threw sleeping duds whenever a group of soldiers appeared.

If this continued, I would run out of duds to throw. Luckily the beast was chasing Dorothy and the others into the woods. At least I could ask the sprites for help to keep the humans away.

“You didn’t tell me that it’s Earl Roselake all along,” Michael said while he sprinted with me in his arms. His stamina and strength were really something else for a mere human.

Must be a Saintess gift?

“I wasn’t sure either. I needed to confirm first with my own eyes.”

“Still, it wouldn’t hurt to give me at least a heads upright? Or you still don’t trust me enough?”

I was surprised to hear the hurt in his voice. I looked over at him. He was looking ahead, and the angle of his jaw from my position was . . . sexy, to say the least.

I shook my thoughts away. “Does it matter now?”

“It does to me.” Michal briefly met my gaze, and I was struck with the seriousness of his handsome face. “What if things didn’t go as you planned? At least I’d be prepared and think of countermeasures. We are a team, Trinity. And you are . . . important to me.”

“. . .” My dead heart skipped a beat, and I felt it thump hard against my chest. I looked the other way when I couldn’t meet the sincerity in his eyes.

I had to remind myself that the only reason why I was important was because he needed me to claim his position as the Saintess.

“Fine,” I said, making my voice sound stubborn. “I’ll tell you next time then.”

Michal grinned. A boyish grin that would surely make all the girls go ‘kya!’

“It’s a promise then,” he said.

I coughed between my fist and grumbled, “Now focus on catching up with that beast, or Dorothy might change into a donkey in her fright.”

Michael laughed. “Yes, mam!”

Eventually, we caught up with the beast who was now cornering Dorothy and the two girls. Its saliva hung thick on its mouth as a growl rumbled in his throat.

I wanted to applaud Dorothy because she was protecting the girls for once even though her whole body was trembling with fear and looked like she was about to pass out.

Wait . . . did she turn into a statue from fright?

I didn’t have time to ponder when the beast raised its hand and swiped down hard at the girls.

“Protect them!” I ordered, and the Knight materialized in front of the beast. He raised his shield just in time, but the beast claws still pierced his defense, and he vanished into particles.

Fortunately, Michael landed a strike on its back and stole the beast’s attention. Ric arrived too and joined in the fight.

“Move out of the way!” I yelled, and Dorothy screamed while pulling Nadia and Grimora out of the fighting range and into a safer distance.

But the havoc the beast brought caught up to the fleeing girls. Trees, branches, and stones were sent flying in all directions. The beast threw a giant rock to block Dorothy’s and the other’s escape, and it came hurtling down upon them.

“Watch out!” I extended my hand and uttered a spell to deflect it, but the rock was too enormous and heavy to be toppled by my force alone.

However, it did change its course, but most of the weight of the rock was now aimed at Nadia’s side. I gasped at the next thing that happened.

Grimora pushed Nadia away, and the rock crushed half her body. Blood splattered everywhere, and Nadia’s cries pierced the forest.

“Grimora!” Dorothy cried in horror, and she stumbled back from Grimora’s broken body while Nadia was stunned motionless as she watched death slowly take Grimora’s life.

With unsteady eyes, Grimora gazed at Nadia and managed a smile. “I-I’m . . . s-sorry . . .”

Nadia was paralyzed in place as Grimora took her last breath. I saw her soul leave Nadia’s body. It rose above the corpse before a dark hazy finger captured it, and they both disappeared in thins air.

I cursed under my breath.

However, I didn’t have time to worry about the others as making sure that Michael was alive was my top priority. He might heal his injuries, but I doubt that he could recover with a fatal wound.

And right now, he and Ric were having a hard time fighting the beast. That beast wasn’t going down if I didn’t do something.

It was a good thing that we were in the forest. Asking for the sprites help would come in handy in this fight.

With a steady drop of my blood on the grass, I offered it as compensation for the sprites help.. And not for long, the grass swayed, and thick vines crawled to my feet.
