Chapter 168: Going on another mission
Haha!
Teanna laughed.
She then said "Let's hope."
Helena nodded her head with a smile in her face.
Then they all went to bed
***
Next morning...
When the sun rose in the sky and the glaring light coming from it shined into their room, Helena and the rest stood to her feet.
Then when she looked at where Teanna laid in to rest, she saw that she had left.
Helena then shook her head with a smile in her face.
Then turning around to face her friends that were still lying lazily in bed, she said "Girls, it's time to leave. We have bunches of terrified little kids to save from the hands of their callous, evil eaters."
Lydia and the rest nodded their heads.
Then they stood from the bed to go shower so that they could appear clean.
Once they were done, they all set out of the inn and into the street where they entered a carriage that lifted them down to the location that Helena mentioned to the carriage driver.
When they got there and Helena paid the sum of money for the transportation services that was rendered to them, they quickly rushed down to where the shrine was which was deep in the heart of a large forest that had many tall, large-canopied trees.
Immediately they got there, Helena who had casted a powerful Hearing Enhancement spell on her ears to gain amplified hearing said with a loud, magically-enhanced voice "Witch, I know that you are in there, come out now to face me, you damned, flesh-eating hellish spawn!"
However, there was no response.
Then Helena said again "I will advise that you come out of your shrine or it would be ripped apart into two. Appear before me as I have a few questions to ask you, then I may spare you if I like"
The witch who could hear Helena's amplified voice became shocked to the bone.
She then said "Don't tell me that this is the girl that killed Lynithar and Salika."
When she thought this, she came out of her shrine and shot to the roof of her shrine in the next instant.
Then gazing down with contempt upon Helena, she said "So, it was you that killed my friends."
"Oh, so you guys knew each other? Haha! Well, yea. I was the one that killed them. And now, I am here to kill you too." Helena said without shying away from the question that she was asked by the witch.
The witch who became extremely furious then decided to unleash magical spells at Helena to kill her, despite the warning from their leader that they shouldn't return to their shrines, or could only go back to take two to three kids for eating and then quickly return.
Then immediately, the witch who was full of wrath aimed her palm at Helena and abruptly casted a spell at her.
Once she did so, a double-winged ice serpent that actually roared with frenzy in it eyes like it were a real-life beastly creature, suddenly surfaced in the air and shot out at a tremendous speed towards Helena.
Helena however maintained her confidence in the front of this killing attack.
Then with one of her fist suddenly emitting a dazzling, silver-colored radiance, she sent out that fist that shone with a brilliant silvery light at the winged, cold-emitting serpent that was raging towards her.
Bang!
The serpent scattered into smithereens with a wave of intensely cold temperature erupting from the point of impact.
Seeing the strong wave of chilling temperature that raged towards her, Helena quickly caused bright orange flames to immediately surface and totally engulf her body to protect herself from the intense, rock-freezing coldness that the cold-bearing wave of energy projected into the immediate and distant atmosphere around her.
Although she was knocked backwards by the wave since it carried tremendous kinetic force, the frigid coldness that it carried with it wasn't enough to turn her into ice, or affect her in anyway since she was wrapped up in strongly burning flames.
As for the witch who was actually knocked flying backwards by the tyrannical freezing waves for many feet and then crashed hard into the forest floor in the distance, she stood to her feet some moments later but only saw to her amazement that Helena was still standing with a mocking, smirk expression in her face.
She wasn't brutally shoved away by the force produced by the tyrannical cold wave that had unexpectedly erupted, despite being directly at it front.
"See why you should tremble in dread in my presence?" Helena asked with a solemn expression in her face.
"Why should I?" The witch asked.
She then continued with an hideous smile appearing in her face "Instead, you should be the one to shake in terror before me, as there are many unspeakable things that I will unrestrainedly do to you, you killer."
Once the witch said that, she unexpectedly rushed towards Helena to throw a powerful, magic-imbued punch at her chest.
When Helena saw that the witch had rushed towards her to engage her in close-quarters combat, she too rushed towards the witch to attack her.
Immediately both of them arrived before each other, both of them sent out their fist towards the other.
Boom!
A boom sound rang out with a wave that carried with it a shocking amount of tyrannical force, erupting from the point at which their magic-imbued fists smashed into each other.
The witch staggered backwards by a few feet because of the impact of the tyrannical forcewave that collided into her body.
While Helena remained where she was and looked at the witch with a dead serious expression in her face.
Then to taunt the witch and annoy her, she said with a mocking tone in her voice "Is it you that will make me tremble in terror or something else? Because you seem too weak to me!"
Then as soon as she said that, the radiance emitting from her fist dimmed, meaning that she had canceled the spell that was previously operating around it.
The vexed witch who remained where she was looked at Helena with narrowed, sharp eyes that showed that a lot of thoughts were processing in it.
'But who is this girl? She is surprisingly strong. No wonder she could kill Lynithar and Salika. I believe that she seriously overpowered them and then killed them. Hmm... Anyways, now that I have discovered who she is, I must immediately leave here and report who she is to our master."
Once she thought this, she suddenly dashed towards Helena once again to unleash a powerful, magic-imbued physical strike at her.
Immediately she got to a few feet in front of Helena, Helena who was both wary and cautious of the witch despite the high level of confidence that she showed, abruptly brought one of her knees to her chest and then powerfully kicked it out.
However, the witch who was agile and also possessed nice acrobatic skills, quickly jumped high into the air and smoothly executed a flip in the next instant to evade the powerful snap kick that Helena was about to brutally send out at her.
However, she couldn't successfully land as Helena who had quickly withdrawn her kicked leg, suddenly grabbed one of her legs in the air and then hurled her incredibly hard to the ground, like as if she was scheming to shatter the entire bony framework of the her seemingly frail body.
Bang!!
The witch landed to the floor of her cave with a loud bang sound ringing out.
She could have fallen unconscious in the next instant if she hadn't abruptly casted an Impact Deflection-type spell on herself to make her body physically invulnerable and resilient to a certain degree. Therefore, the shock that transmitted into her body from the heavy smash of her body against the solid floor of the forest couldn't shake her so much and cause many of her organs to turn into mush.
Although she resisted the shock that passed into her body, she was still however struck with an incredibly heavy headache because of the hard collision of her body with the solid floor of the forest that they were in.
Then before she could stand back to her feet, she was suddenly grabbed at the leg by Helena who had appeared before her in the next instant after casting a Quick Movement-type spell on herself.
Swoosh!
Helena then furiously launched the witch high into the air with the aim of causing her body to crash into the earth and shatter or break apart. She was really brutal and ruthless with the way that she handled the witch because of her immense, unshakable hatred for her, actually, for witches in general. She saw them as abominable creatures from the abyss that shouldn't even be existing.
BANG!!
The witch's body smashed hard into the ground.
However, she could still resist the impact of the collision to a certain extent. But an headache that felt like her head was being split by an ax terribly afflicted her.
"Come on, you damned cannibal witch. You can't be this weak. Despite saying that I will shake in terror, it seems you are the one taking my severe beatings and shaking in horror." Helena said with a solemn expression in her face, trying again to taunt the witch so that the witch could be extremely vexed. She wanted to annoy this witch so much that she would cough out blood.
