Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

Chapter 308 Losing control

Ian opened his eyes in the darkness.

As soon as he sat up, cold air immediately poured into the blanket, causing him to shrink his neck involuntarily. His consciousness also became much clearer. After sitting for a while to relax, Ian decisively stood up and left the warm bed.

Lucas was leaning against the gargoyle and fiddling with the rope in his hand to stay awake. Most of the lighting spells left by the magicians before going to bed had now dimmed, and the light was mostly only in an area the size of a palm, like stars falling on the ground and about to go out.

Ian carefully walked across the starlight, approached Lucas and patted him and the other guardian.

"Hmm? Is it time?" Lucas' face was full of sleepiness, and the other guardian's head was tilted.

"I don't know, but I'm awake anyway, you guys go and rest." Ian said in a low voice.

Lucas nodded randomly, and just as he was about to stand up with the blanket wrapped around him, he heard a low wheezing sound behind him. He turned around in surprise.

The gargoyle that had been obediently serving as his backrest suddenly let out a ferocious growl from its throat that usually only snored. Its face, which usually remained expressionless no matter how he and Lilith teased it, showed expression for the first time. It suddenly arched its back, and all the bulging muscles in its body were tense. In the dim light, Lucas was shocked to see that its fangs, which it never showed on weekdays, were exposed to him on its lowered face.

"What are you doing--"

Lucas was frightened by its ferocious appearance. The primitive and savage breath of the beast made him subconsciously take two steps back, and the hair on the back of his neck stood up.

However, his retreat did not make the gargoyle return to its usual docile appearance. It suddenly took a step forward -

"Roar!" A fierce roar sounded next to Lucas' ears, blowing up the loose hair on his forehead. In an instant, all the sleeping bags on the ground moved.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Lilith was awakened by a roar. She subconsciously grabbed the long sword on the quilt that was used to suppress the wind. The cold touch brought her consciousness back. She quickly turned on the new lighting technique to look.

"Lilith, take care of it—" Lucas, still wrapped in the quilt, moved towards Lilith, hoping that as the owner, she could control the gargoyle. It seemed to be out of control...

Lilith also saw the murderous gargoyle with bared fangs, and her expression was as shocked as Lucas's. "How did you offend it?"

No matter how Lucas teased it on weekdays, she had never seen this coward dare to bare its teeth at anyone!

"镪——" A clear sword sound was heard, and Ian had already drawn his sword, but he was not looking towards the gargoyle, but looking solemnly at the gate of the mill.

"What's going on--" Lilith followed Ian's cold gaze and saw a huge eye with purple light appearing in the gap of the door that was not closed tightly. It was staring at everyone in the mill in the darkness.

Lilith was startled by the stare of that eye. There was an intruder!

"Roar!" With a roar, the gargoyle suddenly flew into the air, rushed towards the mill gate, smashed it into pieces and rushed out.

There was a chaotic noise outside the door, two different roars mixed together. This sudden change made everyone stunned on the spot, even though they were still in a sweet dream the last second.

The cold night wind suddenly blew in, but Lilith ignored the cold and swiftly climbed out of bed, picked up the sword and rushed out, shouting, "There are intruders, protect your partners!"

"Sean! Get up--" Bobby got up hurriedly and pulled to the side, but his hand was cold.

He turned around and found that the corner of the quilt behind him had been opened. He thought his partner who was staying in bed was gone. Bobby was stunned for a moment, his head buzzed, and his face turned pale.

Outside the mill, Lilith walked over the heavy wooden door that was smashed into pieces, came out into the cold moonlight, and looked at the fierce battle outside the mill in shock.

The moonlight suddenly disappeared behind the dark clouds. The front of Lilith's sight was like a deep black pool. Only bursts of low howls came from the darkness. With the help of the light in her hand, Lilith could only vaguely see the gargoyle and a huge beast fighting each other. The beast crashed into the bushes next to it and shook violently, as if they were fighting to the death.

"Bang!" A beam of bright light shot straight into the air. Jaina cast a light spell that was brighter than the illumination spell, illuminating a large area in front of the mill.

The noise also attracted the creatures in the darkness. There was a strange "creaking" sound, followed by the crisp sound of dead branches being stepped on and broken in the bushes. Another tall figure emerged from the shadows of the bushes, and now everyone could see clearly the creature in front of them.

“How could it be—” Lilith’s pupils shrank. Isn’t this... one of Catherine’s small boxes...?

However, the other party did not give Lilith any time to think. Lilith only felt a flash before her eyes, and the terrifying mouth emitting bloody smell had pounced in front of her.

"clang!"

Like a conditioned reflex, Lilith actually formed a solid shield and blocked herself in front of her. The purple-black monster pounced on her and hit her hard. Then a silver light came, it was Ian!

He was originally guarding Lilith. When he saw the monster was blocked by the shield, he immediately rushed forward with his sword without hesitation. A silver light flashed, and a long cut was made on the monster's neck. Some of the blood splashed onto Ian's hand, immediately corroding several small holes in his skin!

Strong acid?! Lilith's pupils trembled, and she dared not neglect it. A light shone under her feet, and a bow of light like a full moon condensed in her hand. The next second, she rushed towards the monster!

However, the monster bent back and dodged Lilith's attack with a single bounce. Did Ian's attack have no effect on its movements? !

“Roar——!” A roar came from the side, and the gargoyle emerged from the bushes with purple-black blood all over its body, choosing to protect Lilith and her group first.

The big guy who was usually slow was now as fast as lightning. He spread his bat wings and rushed forward, knocking the monster who wanted to pounce on Lilith again to the ground. The gargoyle used all means, even its teeth were not idle, and its sharp fangs embedded in the monster's flesh. The monster screamed and turned around to attack it. The two sides wrestled and rolled, raising pieces of broken snow.

"How did Catherine's box appear here!" Lulu tightened her collar, looking incredulous.

"This is not a box—" Ian lowered his eyes and looked at his arm. The wound was painful. It was just touched by the monster's blood. "This seems to be real."

"Squeak, creak, creak--" Another cry came from the bushes. Because the gargoyle tried to protect Lilith, the first void beast did not die. It crawled up again and walked out of the bushes, staring at Lilith with its purple eyes. There was still movement in the bushes behind it.

How many are there left?!

Lilith's face looked grim. She took a deep breath of cold air to calm her mind. She watched the College Cup games year after year and understood their lethality. The light magic was gradually dimming, and they must not be entangled by such a guy in the dark.

"We have to leave, it's too dangerous here--" She pulled the slug flower out of her neck and pulled Ian tight.

"Sean! Sean!?" Bobby rushed out of the mill, his face pale. "Have you seen Sean?"

—Sean?!

Lilith was startled and looked at the crowd carefully. Sean was really not there!

"Where are he?" Lilith was anxious.

"He, I don't know--" Bobby's face was even uglier than before, "He said he went to the bathroom--"

"Lilith!" Ian held her hand, and pulled her back with a serious expression, "We really have to leave..."

In the dry bushes, the third monster stepped on the branches and crawled out, drooling at the tender flesh and blood.

"Roar!" The gargoyle wanted to get up, but the monster behind it pounced on it, bit its neck and pressed it under its body. The gargoyle had dug a big hole in its abdomen. Lilith could even see its internal organs beating wildly, but it was still fighting. What a terrifying vitality.

At the same time, another black shadow jumped out of the bushes and rushed over to help. The two monsters blocked the gargoyle's way. He roared again, but couldn't get away for a while.

The fourth one! In the College Cup, the four teams of ten only had to deal with three!

"It's a stone statue. Those monsters don't seem to be able to hurt it." Ian spoke very quickly, analyzing the situation calmly, "This is not something we can deal with."

Ian's heart slowly sank. Despite such a big commotion, Sean still didn't show up. He had already prepared for the worst...

"Sean hasn't come back yet!" Ian was not the only one who thought so. Bobby shouted with red eyes. He drew his sword and rushed forward regardless of anything.

"Bobby!" Lulu screamed and quickly held up a shield for him to block the monster's claw attack. Hannah's attack spell also followed up in time and actually hit the already injured monster, causing it to squeak in pain.

"...As many of us came as we did, so many of us must go back." Lilith saw that Bobby had lost his mind, and after careful consideration, she gritted her teeth and said.

She drew her sword and, under the cover of others, chanted a spell in a deep voice. A bright red halo lit up from under her feet, illuminating her flying golden hair and angry eyes. A cluster of flames suddenly appeared on the cold silver steel, and then burned all the way as if it was covered with oil, wrapping the entire sword edge in flames.

Although this is not as stable as the enchantment made by the dwarves with magic materials, but at this moment, it would be better to increase the power as much as possible. Lilith clenched the hot hilt in her hand.

"Don't panic, we are not newbies, and we have all watched the game for several years!" Lilith shouted, trying to calm everyone down, "They are not invincible!"

Although Lilith always talks nonsense on weekdays, everyone is very convinced by her words. After she said this, the team's minds became much clearer, and they gathered together just like they did many times when they cooperated on weekdays.

Lilith and Ian were already running towards Bobby with swords in hand.

The monster in front was hit by Hannah's spell and became more violent. As soon as Lilith approached, it immediately gave up Bobby, its closest target, and rushed towards Lilith who was holding fire again.

The ground trembled slightly, the winter frozen soil rumbled, and then some thorns as thick as babies' arms broke out of the ground and went towards the monster. Lilith rushed forward with a sword in one hand and even released another spell.

The thorns suddenly stabbed at the monster on the ground. Although it dodged and moved, the thorns failed to pierce its flesh. However, one of the thorns covered with caltrops still managed to hook its hind legs, causing its body to stagnate.

Lilith seized the opportunity and, regardless of its huge mouthparts that were twisting around to bite her, she thrust the flaming sword into its body. The blade wrapped in flames was like a branding iron, and it made a "hissing" sound as it pierced the monster's body, like the sound of a red-hot iron being dropped into water.

There was a flash of silver light on his shoulder, and Ian thrust the blade into the monster's mouth, blocking the monster's attack on Lilith's shoulder. The monster howled in pain, and the saliva from its madly shaking head splashed onto Lilith's exposed neck. She felt a sharp pain immediately, and quickly drew her sword, stepped back, and reached out to touch it, which was already a bloody mess.

Such a strong corrosiveness - Lilith's face was stern, but her mind became calmer as the fight went on.

The monster had been hit hard by the gargoyle before, and now it was hit hard by the attacks from Hannah, her and Ian, and it was unable to stand steadily and was about to fall to the ground.

They can indeed be defeated - Lilith thought. But they must be quick because Sean is still...

"Squeak, creak, creak--" The monster staggered to the ground, bringing up a gust of flying snow and crushing the bushes on the side, but it still stared at Lilith's neck. The blood and flesh stimulated it to become even more hungry and thirsty. It raised its head and let out a rough, strange cry, which sounded far away.

At this moment, the gargoyle finally bit off the head of a monster and let out a long roar towards the sky, as if to suppress the monster's cry.

"--It's calling its companions!" Lucas was the first to react and rushed towards it again. He had to stop it.

Lilith's spell was faster than his. A colorful light flashed, and the spells of several magicians arrived at the same time, hitting the monster that was lying on the ground and wailing. Its screams finally stopped, and its huge head lost its support and fell heavily to the ground.

But - it seems to be too late...

"Squeaky, creaky--" Lilith's face turned pale. The moment the light magic flew into the air again, she saw several huge black shadows gathering towards them!

…………

"there!"

Catherine saw the bright light rising into the sky. She whipped her horse whip again and rushed towards the light with the large group behind her. All sounds were dead silent in the overwhelming snow and wind. Only the wind whistled sharply in the treetops, like the crying of ghosts or the howling of wolves.

The horses were running for their lives. They couldn't sit down at such a speed. Catherine almost squatted as she moved forward. The treetops that passed by her head took away her headband. Her silver hair danced wildly in the night wind. However, she didn't care about anything else - faster, faster, she must not let them rush behind.

The Icewind Mill was built on a hill. When she was riding up the mountain on her horse, she saw a winged figure flying high in the distance. Several Void Beasts were still entangled on its body, and they also took off with it, scraping against the tall tower of the mill. The bricks and tiles were destroyed by their wild behavior, and the rubble fell down.

Catherine's pupils suddenly widened in disbelief.

That's a -- a gargoyle?!
