Erasmus hadn't expected to be ticked by Eve, and he tried to get a hold of his footing on the ground. But Eve didn't give him the time, and she brought the dagger out that she had been carrying with her, jumping from behind to stab into his back.
But as much as Eve had planned and fooled the werewolf, it took Erasmus just a second to disappear, and she ended up stabbing the ground in front of her.
"I didn't expect you to use such abilities on me," Erasmus said behind her, while she quickly rolled away to maintain distance from him.
Eve's face scrunched in pain as she could feel the air touching the side of her waist where Erasmus had used his claws. Keeping her eyes on him, she tried to stay alert because this person could appear in front of her and attack her anytime. She could tell he was only playing with her, because if he wanted, he could kill her with a snap. She said,
"You forget that I am a governess."
"Ah, yes," Erasmus nodded as it dawned on him, and he said, "An educated woman with tricks under her sleeves then? Let us see how much your tricks work on me then."
As expected, one second, Erasmus was far away from her, and the next second he came behind her. But when the man's hand reached out to grab her, Eve turned and caught hold of his hand.
"Forfeiting from the fight already? Sam—" Erasmus's words were stuck midway as Eve used the skin contact to create ice, and she began to cover his body in it within a few seconds. "Such silly tricks," he cackled.
Eve didn't stop and continued to use her abilities of water to the fullest by freezing the man until he appeared to be in an ice sculpture. Looking at the sky, she started to head toward the sea as fast as her legs could take her.
But in haste, Eve's foot got stuck in one of the roots that had pushed up from the soil, and she fell to the ground.
The crash had Eve groan as she pushed herself to get up when she felt her feet continue to slip, which had her frown. Pulling up the skirt of her dress, she quickly removed her shoes when her eyes widened, and she whispered,
"Crap…"
It was because Eve's feet had turned slimy, and she could see the blue scales starting to form on some sides of her skin there.
At the same time, Erasmus, who was in the ice sculpture, his body started to change, and he used his own abilities to break away from it, sending the pieces of ice flying and hitting sharply on the tree. Eve turned to look at where he was, and she caught sight of him in his slightly transformed self where his face looked rougher, and his teeth were no more human, but they were sharp and big. He appeared to be twice his size, and his feet had torn the shoes he had earlier been wearing to show feet similar to a wolf's.
"You keep forgetting that the magical ability that I have, it isn't some random one but it was gifted by your very own mother. And I must tell you that the power is addicting. You on the other hand," Erasmus started to walk towards where she was on the ground, "You are a creature of the sea. The land is not a feasible one, and with your essence half gone, did you really think you would be able to walk around? The fish cannot survive out of water."
Eve cursed under her breath and looked for the dagger a few steps away from where she was sitting on the ground. She only fell back on the ground when she tried to push herself. Not knowing what else to do, she pressed her palms on the forest ground and gave out a siren cry that echoed through the forest.
"There's no point trying to contact Vincent, because even if he does come here there are a lot of obstacles in here," Erasmus said to her.
But that didn't stop Eve, and from the ground emerged sharp and long spikes and stopped where Erasmus stood. She said, "I will not let the powers that my mother bestowed on us or the one that you stole from Noah be misused by you."
Eve wished Noah had told her about his uncle killing her mother, and during the time in the cave, she had tried to understand the now-deceased Duke. No matter, in the end, Noah had always been her friend even though he had hidden a crucial truth. Trying to help her had resulted in his death, and she wasn't going to let Erasmus win.
While Eve was keeping Erasmus busy, men had been sent to take down the rogue werewolves that James had got Lady Hilda to position at the edge of the forest. The men came armed, carrying guns or daggers in front of them, while keeping a look out for the rogue werewolves.
"ARGGHH!" One of the rogue werewolves jumped on one of the men, and soon gunshots were heard echoing through the forest, while the trained men started to fight the rogues.
"Kill all the rogue werewolves!" One of the men ordered, and the men didn't hold back, but neither did the rogue werewolves that tore the men's arms or heads off their bodies.
And as the fight broke amid the forest, Vincent arrived at the scene as he tried to find Eve. But there seemed to be a protective shield above the forest, making it hard for him to find her and he landed on the ground.
"What the fuck is that?" A nearby rogue asked, his mouth bloody as he had only torn the man's arm off.
Vincent brought his silver gun out from his coat, aiming it at one of the rogues who was trying to attack another person. He pulled the trigger, and the werewolf's head blew up, and he stated,
"This is Vincent fucking Moriarty. Now if any of you would tell where I can find my wife and the bastard that captured her," he pointed the gun at another rogue before blowing the person's head.
