Chapter 349 - Battle Between Wizards And Neotides (5)
The Mozai had been circling around their queen to protect her. They wanted to kill all the neotides around her but were afraid that it would attract attention. When they looked around the rock, they saw that more and more neotides had started gathering sensing that something was wrong up there and they had started howling.
When Adrianna killed the first one, she immediately threw it down the rock holding it by its neck but she knew that she had given unwanted invitation to other neotides around the rock to attack her. Then suddenly, one in front of her, leapt at her. She growled and was ready to take it down when all of a sudden she saw a very thin line of a portal had formed right in front of it and that neotide disappeared through that portal. All other neotides were shocked as to where did their fellow go. So the last there around her jumped together at her while more of them were making way on the rock. However, as soon as the three jumped on her, even they disappeared through the portal.
Adrianna chuckled.
The Mozias above thought that in order to save the queen in the best way, which would not gather attention, would be to send these neotides into deep jungle or perhaps to the northern part of the jungle in mountains full of snow. So whenever a neotide jumped towards her, they found themselves landing in deep forest from where they could never find their way out or in snowy mountains where they could never survive.
This was her chance to escape. Adrianna ran a little and then leapt in the air, shape shifting into her human form. As soon as she shape shifted, her broom came beneath her to balance her and the Mozias cast the invisibility spell on her. They surrounded their queen and within a few seconds all of them entered the Wizard Kingdom.
When Adrianna reached inside the kingdom, the first thing that she saw was that Dmitri and his team had successfully killed many neotides. She looked at her Mozias one to five and nodded at them for their quick thinking. They left to join their team. They had started to hate the neotides and were itching to kill them all soon.
Adrianna came back and saw that by now a large number of neotides had penetrated the breached wall. The wizards were trying their best to kill each and every neotide that they could see, but the problem was that the tide of neotides kept rising. She had to find a way to stop them from coming in and at the same time Isidorus had to recreate the wall in whatever way he could to temporarily stop them from entering.
On a quick thinking Adrianna flew over neotides near the breached wall and jumped down from her broom in the center. She landed on her feet and took one hand in the air. As she brought that hand down, she struck the ground with such force that it cracked and a tornado like field of wind was created with her at the center of it. The velocity of the winds looked so high that every neotide that was around it was thrown out. All the wizards dived in opposite directions to save themselves. This was a clue for Isidorus.
Now none of the neotides could enter. Only the ones that in the front managed to jump far ahead and save themselves from the tornado. In that process Dmitri and his team either caught them or they were killed by the spells that were falling upon them from every direction. Loud, painful howls filled the atmosphere.
Isidorus took the clue and started recreating the wall. He knew that Adrianna's energy would soon be depleted and the tornado field around her would diminish. Soon Isidorus managed to recreate the wall by casting another thin layer of spell.
So the neotides that were trapped inside were all killed by the wizards and witches while those outside once again couldn't do anything as they dashed against the wall in frustration. As soon as the wall was recreated, Isidorus gave her a signal and she brought her hand up to stop. Then she looked at Dmitri again. She shape shifted and joined her husband into killing the neotides. Together they had fun tossing one after the other around them.
It was soon over. All the neotides that were inside were killed.
The first victory was theirs.
All the efforts ended sooner than the neotides had expected but they didn't give up hope. The second batch of the neotides was about to arrive with another wizard. The battle would soon restart.
Inside the Wizard Kingdom, when things became quiet, Adrianna shape shifted and her broom came to her. She sat on it and flew towards the army that was fighting non-stop. All other wizards followed her.
"We have won today!" she shouted. Everyone around her started cheering. It was the first time they had seen that anyone could be so powerful that they could even create a tornado. They started fearing and respecting their queen all the more.
"But there is more danger lurking outside. I want Isidorus to keep creating more layers of spells to fortify the wall further. If anyone else has those skills, join Isidorus. Rest of you can go back and sleep for the night but we have to stay alert." Then she looked at the Mozias. "Five Mozias are going to stay here and they will be backed by fifty wizards. We have to be prepared in case there is next breach."
"Yes, My Queen," replied Mihr.
Then she turned to Ziu and said, "I want you to help isidorus."
"Yes, my queen," said Ziu.
She looked at Dmitri who had shape shifted. Understanding what she wanted, he nodded. All the werewolves that had come from his pack were sent back.
Adrianna left the place and after picking Dmitri on her broom, she flew through the portal created by Mihr into the Royal Palace.
Dmitri was wounded and he needed immediate attention. There was a deep gash on his right shoulder and on his back. Although it hurt Adrianna to see him like this in her heart, she stayed calm outside. The healer came to attend him soon.
Outside, the effect of the spell cast on Reese worn down. Although her movement was arrested, she could see what was going on. She saw a golden yellow eye wolf attacking her and the wizard. Who was that?
