105 The Battle Begins
Selma Payne’s POV:
The reveling crowd gradually calmed down. They looked at each other, not understanding what had happened.
“She found out,” Dorothy said calmly in my ear. “I saw magic waves overflowing from her body. She’s trying to contact the southern Duke!”
This was bad, if she found out that our communication had been cut off, she might very well use the real Carolyn to threaten us!
I couldn’t let this go on. I gently nodded at the werewolf grandmaster, who was disguised as a coachman. The other party understood and took out a small signal flare from his pocket.
Pop!
Thick green smoke instantly dyed the sky green. Then, the crowd shouted, “Everyone, begin the emergency evacuation! Listen to the guidance of the warrior beside you and leave the school immediately!”
The warriors hidden in the crowd took off their disguises and arranged for the panicking students to escape in an orderly manner.
At this time, the witch also noticed the abnormality of the southern Duke and shouted angrily and mockingly, “Alright! It seemed that the game is over. Do you think that you can stop me with just a few pieces of trash who only have brute force? Hahaha! Let’s start the next round of revelry!”
She quickly chanted an incantation, and then the trees around the square suddenly came to life. Their branches expanded and rudely blocked the students’ retreat. They also tried to hurt them with their leaves which were as sharp as blades!
I jumped up to stop a warrior who was sent flying by the rattan. Dorothy cast a spell behind me as if she was fighting with the witch for control of the tree demons in the west.
The witch looked at her in surprise and said, “Oh, a little werewolf with a talent for witchcraft, darling. Do you have any secrets you don’t want others to know?”
The huge difference in experience caused Dorothy to lose in the end. She was unable to take control of the tree demon and instead fell to the ground from the backlash.
“Dorothy!” I rushed up to hug her, and the flying leaves cut my cheeks and arms.
Dorothy held her head and consoled me in pain, “I’m fine. I’ll go save my classmates first!”
At this moment, the ground suddenly shook, and complex mottled patterns lit up on the ground. It was the weakening array that the werewolf grandmasters had arranged in advance.
After a long chant, it finally activated.
However, judging from the witch’s disdain to interrupt the werewolf grandmasters’ chanting, this magic circle did not seem to have any effect on her.
“Wow.” The witch slowly walked down from the flower terrace and pointed at the lines on the ground with the tip of her foot. “I missed it. More than twenty years ago, you used it to capture many witches and wizards on the battlefield, right? Speaking of which, he’s really an old friend of mine.”
“Stop resisting, witch, ” I said coldly. “You can’t escape. Today, you’ll pay for your stupidity and arrogance.”
The witch laughed wildly and said, “The price? Oh, you little wolf cub that hasn’t even seen the world, tell your guardian to say this to me. It’s still too early for you to be harsh on me.”
She raised her hand and waved it, and the tree demons’ attacks immediately became more violent.
As expected, the weakening spell did not work on her. There was only one record of her escaping from this spell, and that was the pure white witch.
I gritted my teeth, feeling indignant.
Due to the uniqueness of the power of pure white witches, they could not use any malicious or offensive spells in their lives. Perhaps to compensate for their weakness, god gave them another special talent: in front of the pure white witches, all offensive spells that were not launched by them would be ineffective or weakened to the maximum.

However, the witch in front of us was likely to be a mixed-blood, which means that our sorcery was useless against her, but she could use any sorcery freely. This undoubtedly put us at a great disadvantage.
Seeing that the formation was not working, the werewolf grandmasters no longer did useless things. They turned to fight against the tree demons and fought for their control with the witch.
The power of so many werewolf grandmasters was not something Dorothy could compare to. The witch felt even more pressured, and her face darkened in anger.
“You’re really stubborn,” she said viciously. “A bunch of heretics who steal other people’s power. Now, I’ll show you who the real master of sorcery is!”
The movements of the tree demons slowed down as if the witch had relaxed her control over them. However, the flowers and plants on the lawn suddenly grew wildly. They grew taller, longer, and larger, transforming into pustules that sprayed thick water and stinky smell, and sharp teeth that glinted coldly.
The werewolf grandmasters struggled to fight against the mutated plants, and I led the warriors to save the students and teachers who were taken away by the plants.
Gradually, more and more soldiers were injured. Even I was cut in the thigh by a daisy that had turned into a man-eating flower.
The disparity in strength was gradually putting us at a disadvantage. If this continued, we wouldn’t be able to hold on!
