Chapter 182: In circles
"Hello miss, you have nice hair," She replied and Nessa smiled then patted her on the head.
"Thank you kids, you have nice hair as well, tell me do you know what time the creature comes out to attack?" She asked and the child looked at the trees before sighing.
"Yesterday it was 5pm, miss," She responded.
"Think you can tell me a bit more about what has been going on here with that creature?" She asked and the little girl smiled while nodding.
"It has been going in circles," A woman said as she approached them and they looked at her.
"Mama," The child said and the woman patted her on the head with a gentle smile on her face.
"Circles?" Yonja asked.
"Yes, it doesn\'t seem as if it wants to attack us, it\'s as if it was trying to find a way or something like that, it\'s kind of confusing what its thinking, but I don\'t think the beast is an evil one," She responded as Nessa looked into the woods and she sighed.
"That\'s because it might be lost, most only does things like that when they are lost," Nessa said and they looked at her then she sighed.
\'Can you detect anything around here?\' Nessa wondered.
[No, but you may be correct about it being lost; the creature is large and keeps going in circles; it\'s like to get out.]
\'Well, we shall see what it\'s really up to when it shows itself, we are not going to go look for it, due to the broke down branches, I can tell just how big of a wolf it is and I have an idea,\' Nessa thought.
[I believe I know what you intend to do with it, but I will wait and see; this is going to be interesting; a creature like that is difficult to obtain; even the best tamers they have out there find the kind you have your eye on hard to approach.]
\'Then I shall try my best," Nessa thought with a smile before looking back at the woman and the child.
"I suggest you all stay put, don\'t worry, we will take care of it for you," Nessa said and they smiled then bowed their heads.
"Thank you very much," They replied and Nessa smiled before they left while they looked out for the creature.
After a few minutes of waiting, Nessa saw something leaped into the air, then landed before the village and her eyes widened when she saw huge the wolf was and it looks as though there were fire surrounding it\'s paws and it was as though its eyes were on fire as well.
"Woah," Yonja said and Nessa smiled as the wolf roared while running around and Nessa saw that the very same kid from earlier was in its way.
Nessa yelled as she ran off, "Look out," and as the wolf\'s tail was about to strike the child, her whip materialized in her hand. She used it to pull the child out of the wolf\'s way by wrapping it around her waist, but after saving the child, she got hit into the tree and fell to the ground and the child gasped as the wolf turned to Nessa while growling and she gnashed her teeth as she stood up.
"Are you okay?" Yonja asked.
"Yeah, I am fine, don\'t worry about me, are you okay kid?" Nessa asked and the child nodded with a smile on her face as the wolf was about to smash one of the houses in with its feet and Nessa flung her whip towards the creature.
Her whip wrapped around the creature\'s feet and she pulled it back as a shield appeared over the house and the people fled from it, and when Nessa looked, she saw it was the other guy in Yonja\'s group who created it, and he smiled at her, then Yonja aimed the spear at the creature and shot it before its eyes, causing it to become distracted, after which the creature pulled back and Nessa\'s whip vanished and the spear returned to Yonja.
"This thing will destroy the village if we don\'t do something," Sophia said when Nessa looked and saw something was stuck in the creature\'s paw and she sighed as she rushed towards it and the others looked at her.
"We have to figure out a way to stop.... Hey, what are you doing?" Sophia asked and Nessa smiled as the wolf was about to attack her and she slid under it and it spun around, looking for her and Isamu chuckled as he looked at what was going on.
"I think she has this handled already, he is not going to let her take him down easily, she will have to keep dodging unti she gets close enough to actually pin him, he is stubborn but strong," Isamu said as Yonja sighed and he looked at them.
"What should we do now? What if she gets herself killed? We are going to be in serious trouble, we have to do something," Sophia said and Yonja glanced at her with his eyes narrowing.
"Sophia, be quiet, let me think and stop freaking out, from the way she does things it\'s pretty obvious that she can handle herself, please," Yonja replied as they looked at Nessa and Sophia sighed.
\'Now to take it down, what should I do?\' Nessa wondered.
[I see you have gotten lighter on your feet master, to take it down you should try it\'s blind spot.]
"Blind spot, okay but which is it?" Nessa asked and the system chuckled.
[This is quite a stubborn creature, its blind spot is behind him, stay behind tail of his, we won\'t harm himself to get to you, then you can do what you want but despite that, you still need to be careful, they are smart.]
"Got it, thank you," She said.
[You are welcome.]
Nessa then began waiting for a chance to get behind the wolf whom was constantly moving around.
