Chapter 172: Chapter 172

Immediately, the air formed into an invisible, thin, long, sharp, spear-like object that darted toward me with accurate and lethal precision.

I snorted and quickly extended my hands to draw a circle in front of me; the circle became a gaping hole that took in the flying spear-like objects before closing.

I stretched my hands and pointed my fingers at Lorelei. A hurricane immediately formed in front of Lorelei, the hurricane tempest alternating with freezing coldness and burning fire.

The hurricane immediately swallowed Lorelei up, and it was only after a few minutes that she was able to break out. Lorelei's whole person was now unruly and her hair was completely tousled

I smirked upon realizing something. Although Lorelei wanted to hide it, she was vividly hurt by Rex's actions.

Even though she had already produced another wrist, it was actually fake, and she hadn't managed to grasp using the wrist well.

Moreover, Rex had used ancient power to take her down. There's a high chance that she was being wrecked apart by the lethality in Rex's blood no matter how she tried to hide it.

At the thought of it, my lips curved up, and I was filled with an unusual sense of eagerness. That bitch! Her existence will be cleared off today.

I became energetic and began to fight defensively while Lorelei kept doing everything to defend herself, none of us getting an upper hand even after an hour of battle.

Suddenly, Lorelei began to chant weird spells. The whole pack turned gloomy and dreadful in that instant as if we were in a graveyard.

Suddenly, horrific skeletons of dead bodies killed by Lorelei in the past began to emerge from the floor.

The sights of the skeletons send shivers down my spine and made me pause, not knowing what to do.

I knew these skeletons were victims of Lorelei. Nevertheless, I can't deny that they are her tools now, and I can't let them touch me.

Yet the thoughts of ridding those innocent victims that were darkened by Lorelei made my heart clench.

I began to hesitate while wondering if I would make such a decision if any of them were my family members.

A voice in my mind began to cry: They are innocent; the moon goddess won't be proud if we kill them. These skeletons contained vampires, werewolves, Lycans, and witches and had their lives cut off by Lorelei. Even after death, they were still made use of by her. They deserve pity.

The more these thoughts coursed through my mind, the more chaotic my mind began to run, and I felt a headache creeping at the thought of it.

“Filippa! Hurry up and snap out of it. Filippa, Lorelei is messing up your mind.” I heard my mates cry out in an attempt to wake me up.

I frowned. I am perfectly awake. What were they thinking? And why did they think I was being controlled by Lorelei?

“Wah!” Zeirk suddenly bursts into cries; his crying was so loud and clear that it jolted my system and woke me up.

It was at that moment I realized that they were true and Lorelei had just tried to mess up my mind.

During the time that I was stunned, the skeletons were already in front of me, and their mouths opened wide, wanting to bite me fiercely.

Luckily, I had Zierk to jolt me up. Immediately, I cast my healing abilities on the skeletons.

They flinched and quickly parted away from me in petrification. Lorelei's face turned pale, clearly affected by my actions.

Immediately, I directed my healing power at them and didn’t let them go until they burst into nothingness and diffused with the winds, unable to be made use of by Lorelei again.

By this time, Lorelei's face had completely turned pale as if it were drained of blood, and her body was shivering due to weakness.

Suddenly, Lorelei held her staff tight, her eyes filled with decisiveness and desperation.

Immediately, she raised her staff and pointed it at the gloomy sky. She began to wield her staff expertly, her lips chanting so fast and her energy getting weaker. She was certainly using her last card to get rid of us!

Immediately, the gloomy and dark sky was replaced with a void of darkness and nothingness that threatened to obliterate everything in sight into nothing.

My brows furrowed immediately, yet I was unwilling to see Lorelei have the upper hand.

I howled into the sky, my voice echoing through the whole pack. “By the power of the moon goddess, I called on the strength of the guardians, ancestors, and the poor victims of the past to rise. Stand up. Rise and protect the tribes. Darkness cannot coexist with light. Let the darkness falter under the moon goddess's light!” I cried out into the sky.

My body standing tall and divine energy channeling through my body. Immediately, I howled loudly into the sky again, my voice reverberating with sincere pleading.

Originally, the moon, which had already been covered by the void of darkness and nothingness, immediately appeared again. A glowing light immediately reflected from it.

Suddenly, a silvery glow wrapped around my body and gently invaded my system to merge with my power. Even without taking a glance at my mate, I knew they were experiencing the same thing as I—receiving a blessing from the moon goddess.

With just a stretch of hand, the nothingness disappeared, and Lorelei collapsed on the floor, gasping heavily.

I smirked and began to stride toward her, each step of mine sending fear into her heart.

Lorelei was so frightened that she broke into a sweat and continuously took steps back to escape from me.

My mind began to spurn. What cannot coexist with darkness is light.

No matter how long it takes, all sins won't go unpunished.

My eyes fell on Lorelei. She had always acted like the queen, but seeing her state, I could only sum up one word: pathetic.

Lorelei could have used her longevity to help the world grow forward, but she ended up doing the opposite. It's time for her retribution. I pointed my fingers toward Lorelei.

“Filippa, stop. You can't!” Two familiar voices suddenly cried out behind me.

Upon hearing the voice, I froze immediately, and my legs rooted to the floor.

I shakily turned to the voices, my heart beating chaotically and my whole person filled with disbelief. “Mom. Dad.”

“Mom. Dad. You're still alive. I missed you.” I broke into tears immediately.
