I am the heroine's godfather!

Three, two, one!

As the last finger fell, a gust of cold wind blew past. The two guards were just beginning to feel confused, wondering why it was suddenly so cold, and when they tried to speak, they were surprised to find their mouths sealed shut with ice that had appeared out of nowhere.

The next second, the blade pierced their throats, blood gushed out, and they lost their lives.

"yeah!"

Anna held up a dagger, its blood-stained surface reflecting the bright moonlight, adding to the somber atmosphere. Meanwhile, Laura used her ice-elemental blade to cut open the ropes binding Gloria.

"Are you alright, miss?"

Laura asked with concern, while Gloria asked in confusion, "Who...are you people?"

"We are students of St. Casta, here to investigate the wolf howls in the dense forest."

Anna sheathed her dagger and said. Gloria's eyes widened: "First-tier? You're first-year students?"

"What's wrong?"

Laura tilted her head, and Gloria gritted her teeth and said, "This is the heartland of the Blood Moon Clan, and their leader is a fourth-tier wolf king! If you encounter that guy, you will surely die!"

"Fourth tier!!!"

Anna gasped softly, and Laura clicked her tongue: "This is serious trouble..."

"Run while they can, before they can react!"

"We want to run away too."

Laura sighed, "But we don't know the way through the forest."

"so......"

Gloria sighed: "Then, come with me, I'll take you out of here."

"Really? Thank you sister!"

Anna's words were as sweet as ever. Gloria chuckled, shook her head, and said, "I should be thanking you. If you hadn't come to save me, I would be dead... Alright, let's go. If they come soon, we're all doomed."

"Ok."

Laura and Anna quickly followed, but Griel led them to a pile of barrels filled with animal blood. She picked up a barrel, smeared some on herself, and then handed it to Anna and Laura.

The two blinked, somewhat confused, so Gloria explained, "Those guys have very sensitive noses and they have spells that enhance their senses. Once they find us, they'll follow the scent you left behind, and we'll be dead for sure. This will cover up your scent and make it easier for us to sneak out."

Although somewhat disgusted, Anna and Laura knew this wasn't the time to be picky, so they forced themselves to smear the blood of some unknown animal on themselves.

Anna muttered to herself, "This is my favorite hunting outfit..."

Laura could only be thankful that she didn't have special hunting attire like Anna; she was just wearing ordinary clothes.

However, the smell was rather pungent.

Laura and Anna disguised themselves and prepared to flee.

Having evaded the patrolling werewolves, the group found a tool shed where no one would enter for some time. Inside, they rested for a while, and Anna whispered, "Speaking of which, where are Daisy and Charlotte?"

"I don't know... maybe they were teleported somewhere too."

Laura sighed, "Don't worry about them, Daisy and Charlotte are much better than us."

"Hehe, that's true..."

Chapter 128 Their respective battles

Just as Laura and Anna were enacting an Assassin's Creed scenario, the others were also attacked.

Charlotte slew the three wolves with a single sword strike, then looked at Siluca to see if she needed help. Siluca was indeed a genius; after all, securing third place in the Academy of Sages was no ordinary feat. Above her were only Bianca and Charlotte.

Hiluska is very skilled in nature magic, perhaps because she has one-quarter elven blood?

Her mother was a half-elf, and perhaps that natural affinity was inherited by her.

After summoning vines to strangle the attacking wolves, Siluska looked at Charlotte and the sword in her hand, and sneered: "As a student of the Academy of Sages, you think about close combat all day long, just like the brutes of the Academy of Knights."

Charlotte chuckled awkwardly, wondering why this guy was so hostile towards her. Besides, what's wrong with the Knights' Academy? Did they eat her rice?

"Speaking of which, why are there so many wolves in the dense forest?"

Charlotte stared at the wolf carcass before her, lost in thought. Siluca closed her eyes, carefully sensing the airflow, and then suddenly coughed.

"Cough cough cough..."

"Hilusha? What's wrong?"

Charlotte looked concerned and stepped forward, while Siluca quickly took three steps back.

Hey?

Charlotte took another step forward, and Siluca took three steps back.

Charlotte blinked, and just as she was about to lift her foot, Hiluska quickly said, "You, you, you, don't come any closer!"

?

Charlotte tilted her head, and Siluca coughed twice: "It's okay, you stand there, don't get so close to me."

"Oh."

Although she didn't understand what was going on with this guy, Charlotte didn't provoke him further and stood there obediently. Seeing that Charlotte finally stopped approaching, Hiluska breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "I just sensed it, and the natural energy here is incredibly polluted. I'm afraid it's not safe here anymore."

"That's it..."

Charlotte pondered for a moment, then asked, "So, what do you think we should do?"

"...Let's find a way to reunite with Bianca and the others first, and then we'll think about it."

"Hiluska".

Suddenly, Felicia's voice echoed in Siluska's mind: "Keep going forward. The path ahead should lead to the Moonshadow Wolf Clan's tribe. It's safe there. Bianca is waiting for you there."

"How did they move so fast?"

Hiluska exclaimed in surprise, startling Charlotte. Ignoring Charlotte's strange look, Hiluska continued to ask in her mind, "Didn't they wake up later than us? Why did they arrive at the tribe so quickly?"

"Ah, because Bianca has a very powerful astrologer by her side."

"...Then, what about Klim? Isn't he an astrologer too?"

"...Is it possible that the astrologer next to Bianca, Miss Daisy, is the top student in the first year of the astrology department?"

"...That's all."

After ending the communication, Siluska looked at Charlotte: "We have news. Bianca and Daisy are waiting for us at a tribe called the Moonshadow Wolves ahead."

"Really? Are they alright?"

"Don't worry, they should be safer than us right now."

"That's good. Let's go then!"

--------------

Teberis swung his sword sharply, deflecting the werewolf's claws. He was also knocked back a step by the recoil, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled.

"Who are you people, and why are you in our Blood Moon Clan's territory!"

The werewolf let out a low growl, its eyes turning bloodshot.

特比里斯沉声说道：“我们是圣卡斯塔的学生，误入此地，绝无冒犯的意思每^日.发！书，群【6`5,0/5^0”2*3>3.8】。”

"A student of Saint Casta!"

The werewolf exhaled a foul breath, a grin spreading across its face: "Then I can't let you live!"

The next second, he suddenly charged forward, his claws appearing chillingly cold in the moonlight, sending shivers down one's spine.

Teberis raised his shield to block the blow, then stepped back and swung his longsword with his right hand, aiming for the werewolf's abdomen.

Logically speaking, the werewolf was in a state where his old strength was exhausted and his new strength had not yet been generated, so he should have had no chance of dodging this sword. And that was exactly the case. The long sword pierced his abdomen, and blood flowed incessantly.

Teberis looked compassionate: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt anyone."

"Hehehe... You don't really think this little injury can kill me, do you!"

The werewolf let out a low laugh, gripping the blade with his other hand. Terbillis felt an immense force as the werewolf actually pulled the sword out!

Under the moonlight, the abdominal wound, which could be considered a serious injury, was healing rapidly!

"Is this the werewolf's self-healing ability?"

Teberis gritted his teeth and retreated repeatedly to maintain a safe distance.

William, standing beside him, was so frightened that his legs went weak and he could barely hold his sword, looking utterly pathetic. Anyone else seeing him dragging the team down like this would probably have been cursing, but thankfully his teammate was Terbiris.

Seeing his appearance, Teberis didn't say much, but simply shielded him behind her: "Don't be afraid, stay behind me, I will protect you."

William was stunned for a moment.

The werewolf seemed to have seen through Terbiris's intentions, and sneered, "If you were alone, you might have been able to escape from me, but you actually thought of protecting this burden! Hahahaha, then die here!"

The next second, he pushed off the ground and lunged forward. Just as Tebilis was about to defend himself, the moonlight suddenly shone down.

"Yue Yin!"

The werewolf let out a low growl and vanished instantly. Terbillis gripped his sword, holding his breath, wary of the attack.

A gust of wind blew up a few leaves, and the next second, the werewolf's low growl could be heard.

"The moon appears!"

William turned around abruptly, and the werewolf's crimson eyes flashed before his eyes. The next second, sharp claws tore through the air with a whooshing sound.

Can't hide!

There's no way to escape it!

Will die!

A flicker of despair crossed William's eyes.

A white dove on a nearby tree shook its head and spread its wings.

Blood was spilled on the ground.

William stared wide-eyed at the armored man in front of him.

"Tebi...Reese?"

"Cough cough..."

Teberis wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his pale lips twitching as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't utter a word.

But his resolute expression remained unchanged from beginning to end.

The werewolf retracted its claws, and Terbiris's body slowly collapsed. William quickly caught him and poured the medicine from his bag into his mouth as if it were free, but no matter what, it was impossible to heal his injuries immediately.

Terbiri coughed up blood: "William, go, go quickly..."

"Leave? None of you are leaving."

The werewolf sneered, "You're quite the man, it's just a pity you're going to die here, all for this burden, hahahaha..."

"..."

William lowered his head and remained silent.

"Look at this guy, he doesn't even have the courage to face me!"

"I am not a burden!"

William suddenly spoke, gripping his sword, his body still trembling, yet he refused to retreat a single step.

"Today, none of us will die!"

Chapter 129 The Weak

"Heh... Your courage is commendable, but courage without the support of strength is nothing more than a dilapidated house that can be kicked down with one kick."

The werewolf scoffed, "However, since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!"

The claws tore through the air as they rushed toward William, who gritted his teeth, his attention completely focused, not daring to relax for even a moment.

He was indeed not as strong as Terbiris, and not even as strong as Kyle. In every magic combat class, he lost more than he won. He was in the lower-middle third tier of the Knight Academy. He wasn't called the bottom of the class only because there was a fourth tier below him.

The opponent was someone even Teblis, the top student in the first year of the Knight Academy, couldn't beat. What could someone like him, a complete loser, possibly do?

Perhaps running away is the best option, just like what he did when he faced bullying before coming to San Casta.
