Chapter 348 - Battle Between Wizards and Neotides (4)

Without realizing that she had shape shifted into her golden yellow form, Adrianna kept running in the opposite direction. She had only one thing in her mind – where was that wizard? In the sea of neotides, her sense of smell was also drowning as she could pick so many more smells. 

The Mozia above noticed the strange thing and communicated to the rest of the group. One of them dived closer to the ground and swished their wand at her to change her fur color, but the magic didn't work. She was still golden yellow. What could they do? There was little or no time to think.

Suddenly the Mozia got an idea. He swished his wand and now a huge bucket that contained grey colored liquid, used in dyeing clothes in the Wizard Kingdom, was seen coming in front by Adrianna. Before she could react, she was drenched with that paint. 

Adrianna was infuriated by the sudden water being thrown upon her but she realized that it was grey colored when she saw it dripping around her. She was tempted to shake her fur and remove it but she understood that it was done to hide her original fur. 

Laughing inside at Mozia, she just sped ahead satisfied that none of the neotides noticed this. She knew that they had very dull vision, especially when they had shape shifted. 

The jungle was becoming thicker as she sped ahead. She was making her way through those neotides running wherever she could find way and avoid head-on collisions. She hadn't gone very far when one of the Mozia signaled her to stop. He noticed that there were two people lying still on a large rock that was shielded by a canopy overhead. It wasn't difficult. Adrianna looked ahead and calculated her movements. She increased her speed and within five seconds, she leapt in the air and landed right on the rock. But when she landed, only the wizard was there. The other person had escaped, she couldn't understand how. 

The wizard was lying there still as his movements were totally arrested due to her spell. Adrianna growled. She leapt right over him, took his neck in her jaws and picked him high in the air before crashing him down again on the rock. Her teeth sank so deep into his neck that he died that instant.

Reese had been rescued by another neotide who worked closely with her as the general of a small unit. As he was coming with his batch towards the Wizard Kingdom, and he neared that rock, he saw Reese lying still over there with the wizard and then he suddenly saw a wolf leaping in her direction. He was shocked but he knew that neotides were known for their mood shifts. That one neotide had gone insane and he had to take it down but before that he had to save Reese. 

He was very close to the rock and so he leapt in the air over the rock. As soon as he landed, he just pulled her down holding her hand saving her just in time. Rolling her still body beneath the rock, he went back to look for that wayward neotide but when he came out to see it, he was in for a shock – the neotide was killing the wizard. It had smashed the wizard's body on the rock. Angered at it, he growled from behind.

After killing the wizard, Adrianna was about to leave because her work was done. She wasn't interested in finding the other one. 

There wouldn't be any breach on the wall until another wizard appeared and she knew that she had bought a lot of time. She was about to signal the Mozia to leave but suddenly she heard a growl behind her. She turned to look behind and seeing a neotide, she growled back. 

The general was astonished as to how come this neotide had golden yellow eyes. Was that a pure blooded werewolf? How did a pure blooded wolf manage to come here and why did it kill the wizard? 

He leapt in the air to attack it, but Adrianna had leapt towards him with such force that within no time it was under her and she sank her teeth in its stomach making him howl in pain. His howl attracted several other neotides of his unit who stopped suddenly to see the source of the painful howl. They looked at the rock above and found that their general was being taken down by a wayward neotide. 

Adrianna had to kill the general as fast as possible because if he howled any more, it would attract attention. Little did she know that several neotides were already closing in on her. She pounced again on it with her paws.

The general was shaken to the core because the werewolf was so powerful that it had pinned it down with its paws and was now standing over him. He couldn't move a bit however hard he struggled. He saw the golden yellow eyes coming close to him and in the next instant its jaws were around his neck. The night became darker for him but in those last few seconds of his life he saw other neotides jumping on the rock surrounding the pure blooded werewolf. 

The Mozia were circling under the cloak of invisibility over the rock. When they saw Adrianna being surrounded by more neotides, they wanted to cast spells but that meant sending beams of light in the dark night, which in turn would attract more attention. It was difficult to combat the situation. Their queen was under attack. 

Adrianna cursed herself for not being able to attack the neck of neotide and giving it a chance to howl. She was surrounded with five other neotides now. There was no other way left but to fight them. The only thing that bothered her was that it would garner more attention. While she was thinking how to combat the situation, one of the bold neotides attacked her. She raised her body on her hind limbs and with her fore limbs pinned it down and save herself. She went for its neck this time killing it next instant. 

Infuriated, the rest of them started leaping towards her together.
