In Another World I Become a Healer With Purple Hair

242 The Expected Encountered (Part 3)

“The hoard?! What is happening? This is not a border town?!” Xander was screaming frantically, while the others just continued to stare at the dark portal, which got larger by the second.

“Xavier! Protect Anne. Don’t forget to transform yourself.” Justice pushes Anne to Xavier’s arm.

“Be safe! All of you!” Anne shouted encouragement when Xavier begin to pull her away. She knew that she will become a burden when a fight ensued, better for her to stay hidden and help them when they need any treatment.

They were hiding in the bushes, when Anne looked into the smaller monsters that had come and attacked the group she grope into Xavier’s arm. “Go! help them. I’ll be fine here.”

He looks at her and then turns around to see the others fighting the hoard monsters. “No, I can’t leave you alone!”

“I am fine, Xavier!” She looked around and saw a much denser bush. “Look, I can go hide in there. Don’t worry about me, just go and help them, please!” Anne was adamant and she never let him back out of her request.

He knows that the group needs help, but he is also reluctant to leave his girl alone. “I just can’t. I can’t leave you alone!”

Anne smiles at him and kisses him. “Xavier, they need you, and I’ll be fine. I have this.” She gave him a look at her crystal dagger, ruby ring, and the elderwood bangle.

“You also have this.” He touch the silver earring that he gave and gave her a soft kiss into her mouth. “Be safe, my love.”

.....
He left them while running in his wolf form. Anne goes to hide in a dense bush with the crystal blade in her hand, and she prays for the safety of her beloved and for the people that were fighting with them.

Xavier jump into the swarm of pixiekeeps that were attacking Vale, the primary captain then put full protection on himself, and cast a firewall for the pixiekeeps. The pixiekeeps burned and fly away, leaving him alone.


“Xave, where’s Anne? You let her alone in there?!” Vale scolded the werewolf while casting full protection on everyone.

Being in his wolf form, Xavier couldn’t even answer Vale’s question. He run into two pixies that kept clawing at Heirim’s hand and biting their heads off. Heirim nodded at him and says thank you. She continued to run into her brother and slash two pixiekeeps and then burn four of them.

“You shouldn’t have, but thank you anyway!” Henry said to his sister, while she clean her rapier with a smug face.

“You’re welcome, by the way.” She muttered while Henry goes away to help Justice and the king.

They finally obliterated the pixiekeeps in a short amount of time. Justice and King Edward round up everyone, fearing for the medium size monster that will be coming soon from the dark portal. They look around desperately, and out of nowhere, Anne comes to them with vials in her hand.

“Anne, what are you doing here?! You should go hide, now!” Justice scolded her, but the only thing that she does to him is glare and gave him one vial.

“Drink this to replenish your magica, all of you need it!” She goes around handing them the tonic, she even looks into Heirim’s wound on her arm. “I’ll give you antitoxin and inflammatory salves. Pixiekeeps have a little bit of toxin on their body. Don’t worry, it will never conflict with the tonic.”

Looking a bit taken aback, Heirim just nods her head and observes her working on her hand. She was impressed by how fast and efficiently she was tending to her wound. She drinks the tonic and feels some of the magica got replenished immediately.

Anne gave the last one to Vale. He drinks the tonic as fast as he could and touch the bangle in her hand. She smiles and puts her hand on his face. “I still have your magica intact, don’t worry. Now, be safe, alright?”

“We will, take care of yourself.” Said Vale and gave her a warm embrace.

She ran back into her hiding place, just in time for the big monster to come from the dark portal. They were stunned to see the monster, some were speechless, while the others curses.

“Gods! Those are not medium sizes!” Screamed Heirim while her eyes planted on the monster that will go into them.

The monster, called Marloboro, is an octopus-like monster with eyes attached everywhere in its head. The size is already a problem, but the tentacles are more than a problem, their tentacles are venomous, and two Marloboros are heading their way.

“Son!” King Edward called for Justice. “This is going to be a tough battle, take care of yourself.”

Justice looks at his father, and he walks into him, giving him a warm embrace. “You too, father.”

The marloboros go to the group at a high speed. They don’t produce any sound, because there’s no mouth, only frightening eyes and venomous tentacles on their body. Vale and Brom cast full shields and reflect, so the Marlboro can’t punch them directly with their tentacles. Heirim, Justice, and Henry call for their bows, while Arthur and Xavier called for their javelin.

They keep aiming into their eyes because that is their number one weakness. They need to find one of their eyes that controls the brain. One from almost a hundred eyes. Using fireballs, Vale and Brom also helped them and aimed at the eyes. King Edward calls for Alexander when the shield and the reflections are almost crushed by the other Marlboro.

“We were running out of options, even though we can’t defeat this one, the other is still alive!” King Edward screamed at Xander, he look around to see if there was another way to defeat two titan size monsters with venom on their body.

Just when they were almost lost any hope, a flame of arrows came running down into the marloboros. Vale and Brom focus on casting full shields and reflect again, while the arrows keep coming out of nowhere. One of the Marlboro got destroyed, and the other one still standing. They tried to fight once again, but then saw a large group of people wearing capes all over their bodies, jumping into the Marlboro and poking into every eye on the monster.

“They… They weren’t affected by the venom?” Muttered Heirim while looking so impressed at the group.

The Marlboro went down, and half of the group goes to the dark portal while the others stay behind, looking into Justice and the others. Their weapon is still ready in their hands when one of them approaches them and opens the cape that covers the face, excluding the eyes.

“Edward? Is that you?” Said the man to King Edward. King Edward can’t believe his eyes. He smiled and tried to give him a hug, but he told them to back away. “No, I still have the Marloboro venom in my cape, but it is you, right, Edward?”

Tears come down from King Edward’s eyes. “Yes… Yes! It’s me, brother.”
