Chapter 161 Alliance Vs Feralia II - Berserk Queen

The resemblance between Kitsune and Lydia is quite striking to Alva, as their way of expressing their idea looked exactly the same.

For a moment, she hesitated but looking at her surrounding Alva knew if she hesitate now, it will cost her dearly so she gave the signal to Emily asking her to carry out the plan.

Emily struck out with her blade and aimed for her neck clearly going for the kill without any hesitation, but it was as if she was attacking thin air, Emily fell on the floor with the momentum of her attack like Kitsune didn't even exist there in the first place.

Kitsune had used her powerful magic to ensnare the two friends, and it really made their trap look like child's play as Kitsune easily overwhelmed them with her own brains and skills.

"Did you really think you could catch me so easily?" Kitsune said, revealing herself from the shadows.

"You should know better than to underestimate me."

Emily and Alva exchanged a worried glance. They had fallen right into Kitsune's trap. Suddenly, Kitsune reached out and placed her hand on Alva's neck, her grip tightening as Alva struggled to free herself, It was a tight grip but not tight enough to kill someone, so she had no problem breathing but still, it was humiliating for her that she fell right into Kitsune's trap

"You should have known better than to try and trap me," Kitsune whispered with a motherly smile, her hands losing grip on Alva's neck.

"But I have to admit, I do admire your courage, so I'll tell you how I did this," Kitsune said and formed another image of her beside her real body.

"My magic can create illusions, basically I'm invincible and you have no way to kill me, even this body I'm talking to you might not be real, so don't try anything meaningless and just listen to me,"

Emily tried to break free from Kitsune's illusion, but her efforts were in vain. It seemed that Kitsune had truly outsmarted them both.

"Nikol is not just yours, Alva. He belongs to all of us. We are all in this together, and I believe that we can make it work if we just try, besides I saw in the pictures, he can do that thing with a lot of women, so why are we fighting? I can explain things to my queen, so do the same with your leader," Kitsune explained, her tone gentle showing her motivation was real to protect everyone.

Emily and Alva looked at each other, unsure of what to make of Kitsune's words. They had always viewed Kitsune as a threat, even while fighting, someone who was powerful enough to compete with Eva and Usha. But now, they couldn't help but see her in a different light and felt like believing her words for a day.

While they were conflicting with their own minds, Eva didn't get any rest as she had several cut marks on her body, but Cynthia, who was fighting her wasn't any different from her since her clothes were torn until they become all ragged.

"What's wrong with you? Give up already, you're injured all over and look at you," Cynthia muttered again.

Just as she was about to speak and ask her to hand over Nikol already, Lydia and Zenda came hurtling towards her as if someone had flung them in her direction. Since she was busy with Eva, she had no time to react, so they fell on her body one after another, creating a three-person pile-up on the ground.

The impact was so strong that they all tumbled backwards, and for a moment, they lay there, dazed and confused. Finally, they untangled themselves from the heap, and Lydia and Zenda also got up rather quickly and quickly brushed off the dirt from their clothes,

"Ughh! What are you-" Cynthia groaned in pain at the sudden attack, looked at who was responsible for it and saw Leona coming in her direction. Leona regretted throwing them in Cynthia's direction, but even after facing the alliance girls, Leona had absolute trust that she can overwhelm them.

Zenda and Lydia stood together, their weapons drawn and their eyes fixed on the lionkin queen before them, and they let Eva handle Cynthia, who is injured because of them.

"You think you can defeat us just by throwing us around the forest, Leona?" Zenda taunted, her voice dripping with venom.

"You may be strong, but you won't defeat us with you holding back,!"

Leona let out a guttural roar, her muscles bulging with power as she charged forward.

"Holding back is a concept for the weak! I was just testing whether Nikol will come out, if I beat all of you, but looks like he doesn't really care about you people," she bellowed with anger with her eyes looking like everyone around her was prey for her.

"I am the queen of the Lionkin, and no one can stand against me! I will kill all of you and Nikol will be mine,"

Lydia stepped forward, her hands crackling with arcane energy.

"We'll see about that," she said, her voice firm.

Leona lunged forward, her claws flashing in the dappled sunlight. Zenda and Lydia sprang apart, their swords and magic creating a deadly whirlwind around the lionkin queen. Zenda used her magic to take the upper hand against an opponent that completely relied on physical power.

But Leona was too powerful. Her attacks were swift and deadly, her battle cry echoing through the forest with each strike. Zenda and Lydia were forced to retreat, dodging and weaving as they tried to keep their distance from the relentless queen.

"We can't beat her alone," Lydia panted, sweat pouring down her face realising that her raw power was on the level of Ubela or Eva and Usha combined.

Zenda nodded grimly, her eyes fixed on Leona's massive form.

"We need to work together," she said.

"Let's use the power of the forest against her!" Zenda used her powers and signalled Tisha to help them, and just like they expected roots started sprouting from the underground and captured both hands of Leona like they were tentacles.

Lydia seized the opportunity, leaping forward and delivering a powerful blow to Leona's midsection. The queen roared in anger, lashing out with her claws feeling the pain, and just like how a cornered animal is almost as dangerous as a wounded one, Leona's eyes started looking at everyone with anger, her muscles bulged usually tearing all the roots that held her apart.

"Shit!" Seeing Leona's special form, Cynthia knew that she released her real beast form.

"This is why I hate to fight with her around," She remembered why Leona barely fought in groups.

She quickly look at the girls around her, who were fighting with each other and ordered them to move away from her. Lucky for them, her target was Zenda and Lyida, otherwise, she didn't know what would happen to them.

During this entire fight, the alliance was at a disadvantage because of how physically strong beastkins were. If this was a long-range fight and archers would be able to do their task properly, the alliance would have got the advantage but unluckily, even elven archers had to fight close range in this battle showing how disadvantageous of a situation they were in.

Leona's eyes blazed with fury as she launched herself at Zenda and Lydia, her claws tearing through the air with deadly precision.

Zenda and Lydia fought back with all their might, but they were no match for Leona's overwhelming strength. The queen of the Lionkin seemed to have lost all control, her attacks wild and vicious as she roared with rage.

"We have to do something!" Lydia yelled, dodging a swipe from Leona's massive paw.

Leona had long bushy golden-coloured hair that falls down to her waist and after her transformation, it looked even more long showing how beautiful and fiery her looks are. Her ears sit on top of her head and are covered in soft fur, matching the colour of her hair. Her tail resembles that of a lion's, covered in the same golden fur as her ears and hair at the tip.

Leona's body is muscular and toned, with a warrior-like build. Her curves are noticeable but that does not distract from her overall strength and agility. She wears clothing that is practical for battle, with pieces of armour covering her chest, shoulders, and legs, but most of them were destroyed right after she decided to go berserk.

Zenda nodded, her eyes darting around the clearing as she searched for a way to turn the tide of the battle. But before they could take any action, a new sound reached their ears.

It was the sound of howling - deep, guttural howls that seemed to echo through the forest. And with each passing moment, the howling grew louder and closer.

Zenda and Lydia exchanged a look of confusion, their weapons at the ready. But as the howling grew louder, they began to realize what it meant.

"Big wolf!" Zenda cried out, her voice filled with hope.

Sure enough, moments later, the massive form of a gigantic wolf emerged from the trees. His fur was the colour of moonlight different from its previous colour, and his eyes glowed with an otherworldly fire.

Without hesitation, Fenrir charged into the fray, his jaws snapping at Leona's exposed hips. The lionkin queen snarled in anger, but Fenrir was relentless. His teeth sank deep into Leona's flesh, causing her to roar in pain and fury.

"At last, I got the power to transcend heaven, just wait, Artemis, and I will tear apart your body into pieces and erase your existence from this life cycle,"

It shouted but unlike last time, it sounded like a mix of a male and female voice with a huge depth to its voice.
