Chapter 22 I Know You!
A witch came running, saying, "My Queen! I have urgent news! The Lady of the House Mullens is in the Berkin Village!"
The queen laugh like a true villain, she was exhilarated of the news. However, it's not the same with Damien's, his brows twitched, as he left the Queen's Palace without alarming other witches or creatures.
The Queen, who was suspicious of Damien's recent actions, alarmed her security, saying, "Victor, watch Damien for me, dear."

*Splash!*
'Quickly out of the water, Estelle! ' Gaia said in panic.
I swam into the nearest land; thank God, I fell into the lake. How lucky... If I landed in the woods, I'd be dead by now. Geez.
'Such stupidity can cause death.'
(sound of water splashing)
(screaming and crying of people near the village)
*Gasping*
I quickly stood up and fixed myself. I could hear the villagers cries and screams. The roaring of monsters and the smell of blood give me goosebumps. My knees tremble as I realize what I am going to do.
No.
This is not the time to be a coward. I'm here to confirm something. I've been researching for the past few months since that day that I was attacked. This time, their aim is me and the King. They want us both dead.
*Rawr!*
*Gasps!*
*rustling*
Oh my God! What is that monster? It looks like a shadow because it's black as the night, covered with black fire, and has blood on its fangs like a wild panther.
Focus, Estelle, focus. Feel the mana around you and control it.
I raised my hands, and while closing my eyes, I could feel the monster's movement.
It was about to attack, but quickly I touched the ground with my palm, and the roots underground showed up wildly and devoured the monster.
The earth is shaking because of the intense mana I'm controlling.
The ground that was open slowly closes as the monster below struggles and tries to escape.
*Plop!*
'Well, that's a LITTLE achievement for you.Amazing.' *sarcasm*
'I can do better than that! Hello? I'm a Goddess! '
'Sincerely.'
'You're the only person who has a pure heart, and in addition to that, you're irreplaceable.'
'Estelle, look behind! '
A lady came out of nowhere with her two black wolves with two heads like hound dogs, salivating while staring at me.
She's wearing a black clown mask and a sexy black leather outfit fitted to her bodice. She has grayish hair and brown-reddish eyes like a demon.
Wait a minute, I recognize that voice!
She laughs like a witch, similar to a horror movie. Covering her mouth, looking like a gentle lady. How pretentious. She petted her wolf, not looking at me.
The wolves quickly ran towards me, showing their sharp canines. I quickly summoned an Earth troll to cover me from the wolves; thankfully, I successfully did it.
'Good job!' Gaia said it in an exciting tone.
She raises her hands in the sky and then puts them on her chest. A black light from her chest immerged, and behind her was a black portal, and a giant teras appeared. Her eyes are as red as blood, and looking at me is deadly.
What the hell! I'm not ready yet!
'Shit! This is bad, Estelle! ' Gaia said.
"Trees on earth, water that flows, and air that breezes, I summon thee to protect me from my enemy."
"Cleanse thy dirt, shield thy servant, and call thy goddess Gaia, for this vessel shall be protected." I chanted a spell in my head.
This spell was in the book that I read. It is one of the basic spells that can help me create a barrier or a shield. In short, it is a protection spell. I decided to learn it because I know soon I'll be in danger, like what's happening right now.
The wind is blowing, and I heard the gusting of the trees and bushes. I saw a light appear below me; it's the protection spell. She may not see it, but I do.
The teras's attacked me using its long claws, but as it approached me, the spell activated, and it attacked the teras's with a loud and strong ball of light from above. The teras's turned into ashes, and the woman was furious.
The woman shrieked.
Ugh! It was too much mana for me. I feel dizzy. This is bad.
I felt the ground shaking; it was because of her, and I saw how the pebbles floated like there was no gravity. The black portal has increased in size, and more teras's have appeared.
My eyes widened, and I realized that she's the reason why Teras's are inside the Kingdom!
*wolves howling*
*Teras's growling*
There were three Teras in front of me and two giant salivating wolves. I can't escape; I must face them. Think Estelle! Think!
Another wolf has appeared and attacked me, but I formed an earth spear and attacked the wolf.
It wounded it, and the woman was furious again.
The Teras's attacked me simultaneously, and I wasn't able to escape.
I formed a shield again, but they easily broke it.
I was thrown off balance and rolled over on the ground.
*cough! "F*ck, there's blood." I was facing the ground, still unable to move or stand. My nose and mouth are bloody, and it's hard to breathe.
*EXPLOSION SOUND*
I saw how the mask fell, and it has a crack on it. The smoke still covers her body, and I heard her coughing. Her face is slowly clearing up—finally a face!
What to do! I stepped back and composed myself in front of these monsters. They were about to attack but I heard a sound of something being sliced.
*Slash!*
F*ck.
