292 CHAPTER 292: Who Would Have Thought

Nixon moved close and slashed his sword down behind her.

Flora was able to defend herself on time but she has to jump away from Nixon for he didn't stop with his sword alone but also attacked with an ice attack.

The hem of her dress got caught and she tore it in agitation.

"This was my favorite dress," she said in gritted teeth.

"Why would I care?" Nixon shouted in return.

His disdain towards her increased as time goes by.

He already has a hatred towards women but as he looked at the current look of Flora, his hatred just kept on increasing.

Flora's frown deepen, she raised both hands and slowly rose up using black smoke. As she did enormous flowers sprouted, some oozing more smoke.

"Wha-"

Both Felix and Nixon were unable to move.

"I will make you pay for ruining my favorite dress," she spoke darkly.

"Black Tortoise!!"

"Phoenix!!"

Both of them called for their beasts.

Phoenix screeched and attacked with fire breath to burn the flowers.

Black Tortoise used an underwater attack but it was beneath the ground to uproot the plants that are now attacking.

Flora waved her hand and her own beast arrived on time to stop the fire attack from Phoenix.

Nixon didn't only call for Black Tortoise to help in their attacks but to help neutralize the poison that caused them to be immobilize as well.

With the leeway gived from the distraction that both beasts created for them, Nixon pushed his sword to the ground before releasing an ice attack.

Even though, Black Tortoise tried to uproot the plants but he didn't finish them all. With Nixon's attack and the fact that some vines and leaves are connected to Flora, his ice attack travelled fast and reached her.

Flora shouted in pain when her arms were frozen to the point of being burned by it.

"YOU!!!" she rushed to him, only to be stopped by a wind attack coming from another side, together with Felix's fire attack.

These two combined to create a much stronger fire that caused her more injuries.

"SAMUEL WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!?!" she shouted in agitation.

Samuel couldn't do much, after he was injured by Saphira with the light ability, his strength became stagnant to which he tries to cover up with his own beast and the rest of the demonic beasts.

Now that the heroes are stronger, he didn't expect that he was unable to keep up, allowing Stormie to give support despite the distance from them to Nixon and the rest.

Nixon nodded to Stormie in thanks before he moved back, creating distance from Flora.

Stormie returned her look to Samuel, her flight speed was faster as compared to before. An attack came from him just as she turned but she was able to evade it just fine.

Flora, who had been acting like the queen, without doing anything to strengthen herself, thinking that she was strong enough, is now having difficulties for facing them for the very first time.

No matter how she attacks, they have a counter and she can barely injure them.

Seeing as Samuel wasn't of any help either, she stomped her foot on the ground angrily before doing her real purpose of being sent here.

She extracted a memory and allowed them to see.

*****

"What's wrong?" Hunter asked when Saphira suddenly rushed to where Nixon and the rest are.

She didn't forget to look for Willow and the others and called them to join.

"I felt a strong surge of dark energy from one side. I can tell that it was Nixon and the rest."

Since the distance was quite far, they couldn't reach the other mythological beasts.

Hunter hearing this increased his speed as well.

Willow and the others joined them shortly after.

'I have a bad feeling about this,' Saphira thought.

Her intuition may not be very strong but it was still enough to make one worry.

Because whenever it indeed kick off, Saphira knew it was on point.

Rushing there, they could here explosions and attacks, showing the intensity of the fight that was going on.

Just as they arrive, they saw Flora getting so agitated that she had pulled out a dark mist before a scene appeared before the rest of them.

With the first second of its appearance, Saphira was already very much sure of what scene it was.

A scene that she had tried to bury in her mind.

A memory, even she felt so disgusted.

She turned and saw Stormie standing there, Samuel on his last breaths.

"STORMIE!!!"

With a shout that startled the others, Stormie who had seen such scene in the past and reacted the same way as her, having the grave feeling regarding that particular scene.

Saphira's shout woke her up from the heavy thumping of her heart.

With her face turning pale as the memories flooded her mind, trying to shake it off because of the important issue as of this moment.

Stormie rushed to cover everyone's eyes and ears with her wind dome.

Since the rest were already close, it was easier for her to enclosed them all, leaving Saphira outside on her own.

"Wh- What's going on?" Nixon asked for he felt as if that scene was quite familiar.

"It's nothing," Stormie answered seriously.

She was breathing heavily, no matter how much she tried to stop the memories she buried from resurfacing, that scene just triggered it all.

She couldn't stop them.

"If it's nothing why are you covering us? What is it that was nothing but we can't see?" Nixon replied, a nagging feeling in his mind.

"I said it's nothing so it is nothing. Stop wondering what it was and just wait for Saphira to finish her," Stormie replied.

Her dark face was new.

Even the way she talks with Nixon was different.

'Damn it, who would have thought. Who would have thought it was her all along?' she gritted her teeth.
