As a girl who lived alone in the middle of the woods, and had no problem ascending and leaving everything behind she was showing so much interest in people who she didn't even know.
ƥαṇdαηθνε| Of course, she was a prodigy and all that, but risking her life this way was very intimidating to Isiah.
She threw him away like a small insect and insisted on staying there to cast some sort of spell.
She was sure of herself and her abilities, he could even say that he trusted her confidence in herself but somehow he couldn't just accept what was happening in front of him.
" Just stay where you are, I have to do it now …I have done it before so don't interrupt me with your nonsense", Ethyl said with a glare in her eyes.
Isiah stood still looking at her while she leaned towards the ground again and started to whisper some words, a blue energy started to appear where her hands rested, Isiah went close to her, her face showed so much pain because she was using a lot of power to that.
This place didn't have much, to begin with, and doing this here was kind of hurting to her.
The energy quantity was big in Isiah's eyes but to hers, it was very small, she had drowned a lot back in the days compared to this.
She needed more and more of it but how ….
It is not like she could drag the hellhound to another place filled with energy, the hellhound is very fast and very strong and it could kill her in seconds.
The best choice was for her to stay still and do what needed to be done.
Isiah saw her forehead sweating and her grimace changing, she even started to grind her teeth to force herself to continue.
It was not like everything was handed to her, she always worked for everything triple the effort everyone was doing just to have a name for herself and pass the evaluation test.
Since she was a kid she was treated with caution because of her abilities and when she got some sort of common sense she realized that she had to show them what needs to be shown, and she did that exactly.
Ethyl knew that they were already comparing her to Lucas Duncan when she was 8, she was going through the same path and her teachers started to show up at their front door to warn her parents, at that young age she learned how to manipulate her test's results and by that she stayed for more years until she graduated after.
It was all about the looks and she succeeded in hiding her powers till the end.
But …now …she had to do what needed to be done.
She continued absorbing the divine energy and this time she just expanded the diameter and the ground around them looked all like it was glowing with yellow, the fields around them were sparkling and it looked very beautiful.
Isiah had never seen such a thing until now and that's why he looked very amazed by her.
Ethyl ignored Isiah completely and continued absorbing but the hellhound started to move towards her because it sensed the divine energy which was by now a huge amount.
The salt started to formulate a circle in front of her where all the divine energy was moving salt particles to form that exact shape with exact runes.
It was condensing for a while until Ethyl projected it towards the hellhound and said:"Destroy the magic core inside the hellhound" .
She was not sure if that amount of divine energy was enough for her spell but she did it anyway, there is no way she could survive this anyway unless she said this.
The hellhound jumped towards her with his glowing yellowish eyes hunting her, but even when there were only millimeters separating them she fell to the ground not moving because of her lack of energy, his threatening face was very scary and she thought she lost it and that's why she covered her face with her arms trying to avoid the burn and the eye contact.
However, at that exact same moment, Isiah reached for her and pulled her away from it, the hellhound was about to splash because of the spell but it decided to take her with it anyway.
If it wasn't for Isiah's presence that hellhound would have killed her at that moment, she even got some burns on her arms when she hid her face from it.
Everything went black, she thought that she fainted right away until she heard heavy breathing so close to her, she sighed and retreated to find herself between Isiah's arms.
She was messing with him all that time and now he was the one who saved her when she drained herself facing that hellhound.
Isiah was still leaning toward her, he couldn't believe that he jumped in front of a hellhound to save her, he thought that would never do such a thing, they don't deserve it and that's why he shouldn't move a bit to save anyone else.
But here he was blaming himself for saving her while being motionless in front of her.
None of them said anything, she just pushed him seconds after.
And he just walked away trying to see any remaining hellhound.
He was just trying to make himself busy and forgot about him sacrificing himself to help her.
' That stupid girl', he thought after cursing …
He kept looking around and there was no remaining for the hellhound, to him he thought of a lot of theories but he just couldn't say them out loud.
This world is different for sure and this girl is his way out of it.
If they didn't allow him to learn magic then she would.
Now he has leverage on her and he will use it for sure to make his own way up, even if that meant that he was going to be childish..
