Chapter 298 298 I have my ways

Nexus, watching helplessly, felt a surge of concern for Crystal. "Crystal!" he called out, his voice filled with worry.

The tension in the air escalated as Crystal struggled to rise, her determination evident despite the pain she endured. The giant Slayer's defenses seemed impenetrable, and the realization of their dire situation settled upon the group like a heavy fog.

"These giants are too strong!" Crystal shouted, frustration and desperation coloring her words. It was evident that her attacks had failed to penetrate the defenses of the formidable Slayer.

Nora, Madeline, and Monica exchanged anxious glances. The plan had seemed foolproof, yet the giants proved to be a force beyond their expectations.

As the moon cast an eerie glow on the forest floor, Fitch and his group caught up with the chaotic scene. The shattered wireworms lay in disarray, remnants of the intense battle between the assassins and the elusive creatures.

couldn't help but smile triumphantly as he stepped on the broken remnants, a twisted satisfaction evident in his expression.

"I knew that I would find you," Fitch declared, his voice carrying a smug confidence as he approached the scene. Selina, attempting to mask her unease, responded with a forced smile, "Yes, we have."

Despite her outward assurance, Selina couldn't ignore the grim reality unfolding before her. The Russels and Nexus were struggling against the powerful giant, and worry gnawed at the edges of her thoughts. "What can I do?" she whispered to herself, grappling with the weight of the situation.

Fitch's gaze, however, was fixed on the ongoing battle. The three assassins acknowledged their master's arrival, stepping back and bowing their heads in reverence. The strongest among them spoke first, "We are defeating them, master," he announced, a hint of pride in his voice.

"I can see that," Fitch replied with a wide grin, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction. The mana giant advanced menacingly towards the retreating enemies, casting an imposing shadow over the forest. "Let us advance with the giant. I will destroy every one of them."

Fitch and his assassins followed the giant's strides, a vengeful force ready to claim victory. Meanwhile, Crystal, who had managed to get up after the previous onslaught, was attempting to regain her strength. Monica and Madeline, clutching Nora between them, hurriedly tried to flee from the approaching behemoth.

Nexus, understanding the intricacies of the plan, urged the women to keep running. Sneaking through the bushes, he aimed to intercept Fitch and set the stage for the final blow—the monstrous octopus.

Seina, unable to bear witness to the unfolding tragedy, contemplated attacking Fitch from behind.n/-0velBIn

"I can just attack him now and end this," she mumbled to herself. Determined, she began to chant a spell, causing her sword to glow with an icy aura. As she prepared to strike, Nexus, with a subtle gesture, directed her to lower the weapon just in time.

Fitch, still focused on the battlefield, addressed Nexus with a blend of recognition and curiosity. "Oh, Nexus, you're the one helping the Russels," Fitch remarked as Nexus stepped in front of him.

"I can see you're really powerful," Fitch continued, getting closer and placing a hand on Nexus's shoulder. "I'm wondering how you sneaked past the giant."

"I have my ways," Nexus replied cryptically.

Fitch, with a discerning look, pressed further. "Oh, you do. I'm sure you do."

The tension between them hung in the air as Fitch chuckled. "Look, Nexus, or whatever you call yourself, I'm not after you. Just the Russel family. I have no issue with you or your maid. You don't need to keep fighting. Surrender now, and I'll let you go."

Nexus, maintaining a stoic expression, met Fitch's gaze with a blank stare. Fitch chuckled once more, his offer lingering in the air as the forest echoed with the distant sounds of battle.

Nexus chuckled as Fitch removed his hand from his shoulder. "Oh Fitch, but we have not lost yet."

Fitch was puzzled by his statement, but feigned a relaxed look. "What do you mean?" He laughed loudly, his voice echoing through the forest. "I have defeated you. My men will soon destroy the Russells and there is nothing you can do."

Nexus gave a little smirk, coming closer to Fitch in an intimidating manner. "Oh Fitch, you are quite clueless," he said, smirking wider. "The game isn't over yet. There is still room for surprises." He looked directly into Fitch's eyes as he spoke.

Fitch laughed even louder, mocking Nexus. "Who do you think you are?" he said. "Even Selina, the one with the greatest power, has betrayed the Russells. So who are you to talk of surprises?"

Fitch continued as he circled Nexus. "The only surprise you'll see here is me defeating you and the Russells." He laughed again, his voice resonating through the trees. "And oh, that's no longer a surprise, because I just told you!"

"You cannot be so sure, Fitch," Nexus replied steadily.

"Oh, I am very sure, Nexus. Very sure." Fitch's expression darkened. "I will avenge my son's death. That witch Monica thinks she can go scot-free, not while I'm alive." He clenched his fists as he vowed his revenge.

As their conversation continued, Nexus started growing anxious. This was the spot where he had encountered the giant octopus monster with Stacy. "Where is that creature now?" he wondered. He needed it to appear for his plan to work perfectly.

The only way they could defeat Fitch and his army was with the help of that massive octopus, as they had strategized. Nexus was on the edge now, worried that the beast would not show up on time.

He began shouting loudly to draw out the monster. "Come out, beast!" Nexus yelled at the top of his lungs. He hurled insults skyward, trying to provoke it. "You cowardly octopus! Nothing but a scared little cat with no real power!"

Nexus knew that after he had sliced off many of its thick tentacles in their previous battle, the creature would likely return for vengeance given the chance. He just needed to make that happen before Fitch could attack.

Pausing his tirade, Nexus strained his ears for any sign of the giant octopus. The forest was eerily quiet except for the sound of Fitch's laughter.

"Really, Nexus? Yelling at shadows and trees?" Fitch guffawed, highly amused at Nexus's strange behavior. "I think you've lost your mind. There's no monster here."

Nexus ignored Fitch's mocking words. He had to keep trying. Cupping his hands around his mouth, he unleashed another round of insults mixed with taunts, his voice echoing loudly.

"Useless bag of slime! Can't even show your slimy face." Nexus paced as he shouted, anxiety building within him. "I'll chop the rest of your tentacles off too! Come and face me, you bloated whale!"

Nexus's shouts echoed through the ancient forest, his voice ringing with desperation. Over and over he demanded that the beast show itself now, save them from destruction. But only silence answered his wild cries.

Fitch observed his rival with a prickle of unexpected sympathy.

He believed that Nexus had reached the cliffs of true despair, still grasping for anything to reverse the tide of defeat rising against him.
