A Magical Tale: The Peerless Summoner

When they arrived at human settlements in the kingdom, Helena told the kids to go on to meet their parents.

Then after hugging Helena and her friends and trying to find their way back to their parents' homes, Helena and her friends returned back to the room that they rented in that inn.

When they arrived in the room, Helena went to shower while her girls simply laid on the bed to relax.

Then when she finished and came out, Deborah said with pride in her tone "Senior Helena, it seems your mastery over spellcasting has increased. All the witches that you fought, you overpowered them like how a ferocious tiger will dominate and overwhelm a lamb. They couldn't stand you at all"

Helena smiled after hearing what Deborah said.

She then said "I myself was intensely surprised at how I overpowered them and killed them. It was like they were nothing to me. But maybe it was because of my extreme confidence in my Hrithika bloodline power that I was both ferocious and fierce in those battles that took place between me and the witches. I think that must be a great factor on why I was able to subdue those witches and reduce them to decapitated corpses"

"Okay, senior Helena. But you were really powerful. I wish you could watch yourself fight. You fought like a ruthless, barbaric warrior that was also incredibly adept at spellweaving. And, although you said that it was because of your confidence in your inborn, vast bloodline power, I however think that your powers have grown by a bit, if not much. Then your mastery over them has increased to another level." Deborah said, politely refuting Helena's statement and then praised her.

Helena only smiled.

She then said with a serious expression in her face "Alright, girls. Let's have some discussion concerning the mission that we acre carrying out."

Once Helena said this, Lydia and the rest paid utmost attention to her.

Seeing that they were looking attentively at her, Helena started "Do you recall when the witch I lastly fought said that I killed her friends, and that the rest of them were boiling with serious hatred and towering anger for me and would definitely come for us anytime soon?"

"Yea, I remember that senior Helena. All I would say is that the witch that you fought is not wise. She could have left, but she remained to battle with you, eventually resulting in her gruesome death in the end." Deborah said.

She then continued "Actually, I am not scared of what the witch said. Whether they have discovered us or not, they can't do a thing with you around and watching over all of us. You are simply like thousands of them perfectly fused into one person. So, how would they be able to harm us with you around?"

Deborah asked while Helena produced a smile in her face.

"Well, you might be right with what you said. But it wouldn't hurt that we should be more careful. You know, those things that can't be regarded as humans, but as abominable creatures from the pit of hell, are very cunning and mischievous in nature. So, we would therefore have to be careful so that their secretly unleashed killing attacks or their attempts at abducting any of us wouldn't take us by surprise and be successful." Helena said.

Deborah nodded her head.

She then said with a smile in her face "Senior Helena, do you want a massage? Like a neck, scalp or back massage? I can try my best to give you one if you want."

"You know, you have been fighting a lot by yourself lately, and a lot of stress and tension would have accumulated in your bodies. Therefore, I can try to help your massage your body so that the accumulated stress or tensions will melt away and allow your body to be invigorated once again."

Helena heard what Deborah said and produced a surprised expression in her face.

"Really?" She asked with shock in her tone.

"Yea! I am serious about what I said, senior Helena" Deborah answered.

"Wow! Thank you so much for that offer, sweetheart. You are my savior right now. I really needed a massage and you came up to give me one. Thank you much!" Helena said while Deborah nodded her head with a smile in her face.

Lauren who was absolutely jealous of what Helena said to Deborah, quickly said "Senior Helena, I can also try to give you a massage too, maybe after my sister is done."

Helena looked at Lauren and said "Dear, don't worry. I don't think you would be able to do that with your little, dainty fingers. Maybe another time in future. And who knows, I could be the one massaging you by then. Haha!"

Helena said and laugh. But Lauren shook her head in defiance.

"No. I can give you a proper massage too, senior Helena. There is nothing wrong with my fingers. They will do just fine in massaging you." Lauren said.

Helena then smiled.

"Alright. So, what kind of massage would you like to give me?" She asked.

"Well, like feet and thighs massage" Lauren replied with a smile in her face.

"Awwn. Thank you. I appreciate that." Helena said while Lauren nodded her head.

Lydia and Lucretia began to look at Lauren and Deborah who only ignored them and went to massage Helena's neck and feet.

"Old man James, Salarka has been slain too. She couldn't return on time and was slain by our enemies. Her headless corpse lies in front of her shrine which has been burned down to ashes." One of the witches seated on a table around the man said.

"Really? She has been killed too. Ugh!" The old man called old man James said.

He then continued "I guess that these witch hunters really want all of us dead and will stop at nothing to kill every one of us."

"Assuming Salarka was able to escape, we would be able to know who these killers are. But since she wasn't able to, we are left guessing who our strongly determined and resilient killers would be. Anyways, we are going to catch them someday" Old man James said.

He then looked at the rest and said with a heavy sigh "I have a good friend who I haven't spoken to in a long while because he stopped talking to me when he realized that I was a wizard and that I ate little kids for nourishment and extracted vital energies from virgins to increase my power."

"I will talk to him and beg him to show me who is killing us one after the other."

"We have to fully eliminate this threat before it comes knocking at our door." Old man James said.

He then continued "And I very much believe that none of us would want to go back to our shrines to retrieve some kids for consumption, after seeing the terrible fate that befell Salarka."

Once he said this, everyone else nodded their heads.

"Good!" Old man James said.

He then continued "Just stay far away from your shrines. With time, we would get this person or people who are coming after our heads, I promise."

Once he said that, he stood from where he sat to leave the meeting hall. And as soon as he stood, the rest stood to their feet and began to leave the candle-lit hall one after the other.

"Wow! You guys have relaxation-inducing fingers. I feel so relaxed and refreshed. Thank you!" Helena who lied in the large bed in their spacious room said with a broad smile in her face.

"Anytime, senior Helena" Lauren and Deborah said at the same time with smiles in their faces.

"Won't you girls massage us too? Don't you know that we need massage too? Why is it only Helena? Because she is the Chosen One?" Lydia asked with a smirk expression in her face.

Then before Deborah could politely reply, Lauren who was am expert in giving direct replies, hurriedly said "Yes, senior Lydia. It's because she is the Chosen One. If you want a good and soothing massage, do what senior Helena can do. Then we would consider giving you a massage too."

Helena heard that and quickly closed her eyes, pretending like she didn't hear anything. While Lucretia and Deborah hurriedly looked away as if they had things on their mind to do.

Lydia looked at Lauren and shook her head with an amiable smile in her face.

Then she burst into laughter all of a sudden.

Haha!

When she stopped laughing a few moments later, she looked at Lauren with a smile in her face and asked "Do you really promise that, or you are only bluffing?"

"I am not bluffing, senior Lydia. I promise that!" Lauren said with determination in her voice.

"Oh, that's cool. Just watch. I will become the second Chosen One, Lauren. Then you will give me the massage that you owe me." Lydia said and lightly chucked while Lauren nodded her head.

Lauren then said "Senior Lydia, I will wait for that phenomenal day to come."
