The Beast to Beauty

Chapter 6 Crisis moment

After Elwin was controlled, he looked stiff and mechanical. His eyes were empty and lifeless. The eyes that were once full of wisdom and determination have now become dull and lifeless, as if they have lost their souls. The expression on his face was stiff and indifferent, without any emotional fluctuations.

His movements became mechanical and stiff, and every step seemed to be a puppet controlled by strings, lacking any vitality and autonomy. His body leaned forward slightly, and his arms hung weakly at his sides, as if he had lost his sense of balance.

When the dark witch waved, Elwin walked towards her without resistance, his steps steady but lifeless. His lips were tightly closed, and there was no change in his expression on his face. He just walked indifferently to the side of the dark witch.

His whole person was like a puppet being controlled, completely losing his self-awareness and will. The former glory and vitality have been swallowed up by the dark magic, leaving only an empty shell, at the mercy of the dark witch. This scene made Deven feel extremely desperate, but she knew that she had to find a way to save Elwin in order to break the shackles of this darkness.

Deven was now filled with anxiety and despair because she had no chance of winning with Elwin as an enemy, and her original ability was also weakened. The current situation was extremely dangerous for Deven. She stared at Elwin, and seeing his empty eyes and stiff mechanical movements, her heart was broken. The once smart and resolute partner has now become a puppet who obeys the dark witch.

She clenched her fists, and her knuckles turned white because of the force. Her breathing was rapid, and her chest rose and fell violently, trying to suppress the fear and anger in her heart. "Elwin, wake up!" She shouted, with sobs and pleading in her voice, hoping to bring back her friend's consciousness.

Elwin in front of her did not respond at all, and still walked stiffly to the dark witch, as if he could not hear her shouts at all. This made Deven even more anxious, her heartbeat accelerated, and her thoughts were in a mess. She didn't know how to break this curse and save her friend.

The dark witch's triumphant laughter made Deven feel extremely angry and helpless. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but the anxiety and despair in her heart could not be calmed down. She knew that she had to find a way as soon as possible and could not let Elwin continue to be controlled by the dark magic. Even if the predicament in front of her was so difficult, she could not give up hope.

She tried to touch his shoulder gently with her hand, hoping to call back his consciousness in this way. However, Elwin's eyes were still empty and he did not respond at all. He just stood there stiffly, mechanically obeying the will of the dark witch.

"This is me, Deven! We have been through so much together, you must be able to hear my voice, right?"

Elwin's eyes were still indifferent, and there was no change on his face. His body seemed to have become an empty shell, at the mercy of the dark witch. Deven's hand slipped from his shoulder, and she felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

The dark witch stood aside, watching all this with complacency, with a sneer on her lips. "No matter how hard you try, it's in vain. He belongs to me now." Her voice was cold and cruel.

Even if Elwin didn't respond now, she had to find a way to rescue him from the control of the Dark Witch. She took a deep breath, and her determination burned even more fiercely in her heart. No matter how much it cost, she would not let the Dark Witch succeed.

The Dark Witch smiled cruelly at Elwin, who stood stiffly beside her. She whispered, "Elwin, attack Deven for me."

After hearing the order, Elwin's eyes were empty, like a puppet obeying orders. He raised his staff, and the top of the staff began to gather magical energy. Deven felt a stab of pain in her heart when she saw this scene, but she knew that Elwin had lost his autonomous consciousness and was completely controlled by the Dark Witch.

"No, Elwin! You have to wake up!" Deven tried to wake him up again, but Elwin didn't respond. His movements were mechanical and precise, the light in the staff became brighter, and the energy fluctuations became stronger and stronger.

The laughter of the dark witch echoed in the air, and she looked at Deven coldly: "Look carefully, he is my tool now, you can't stop him."

Elwin's attack was coming straight at Deven, and she had to dodge quickly. Although her heart was full of pain and helplessness, her movements were still agile. She had to find an opportunity to rescue Elwin while avoiding harm. Her eyes were firm, and her determination burned in her heart. No matter how difficult it was, she would not give up Elwin.

Deven looked at the magic energy gathered in Elwin's hand, and her heart tightened, but she quickly adjusted her mentality and prepared to deal with it. After all, she and Elwin often trained together on weekdays, and she knew his habits and tricks well. She took a deep breath, focused all her attention, and stared at Elwin's every move.

"Don't get hit," Deven reminded herself secretly, she knew that Elwin's attack power was extraordinary.

Elwin's staff swung down suddenly, and a strong magical light wave rushed towards Deven. She swiftly rolled sideways and dodged the fatal blow. The light wave hit the ground behind her, creating a deep pit and scattering gravel.

"Elwin, this is not you!" Deven dodged his attack while trying to continue to awaken his consciousness. Her movements were as flexible as dancing, and each dodge was accurate, showing the tacit understanding and skills she and Elwin had accumulated over many years of training.

She knew that Elwin was used to using the staff to attack directly first, and then quickly turned around to send out a horizontal energy wave. As she expected, after Elwin sent out a direct attack, the staff suddenly swept horizontally, and a horizontal energy wave followed. Deven was well prepared and quickly rolled down to avoid the attack.

Although she successfully avoided several attacks, her inner anxiety did not diminish. She knew that she must find a way to release the control of the dark witch as soon as possible, otherwise such a battle would go on endlessly. She was determined to save Elwin and break the curse of the dark witch.

Deven was dodging Elwin's attacks when she caught a glimpse of a hard stone on the ground. She was moved and quickly bent down to pick up the stone, aiming at the direction of the Dark Witch and throwing it with all her strength.

The stone drew an arc in the air and went straight to the Dark Witch. The Dark Witch noticed the attack and raised her mouth slightly, looking very disdainful. However, almost at the moment when the stone was about to hit her, Elwin moved quickly and instinctively blocked the Dark Witch.

"Bang!" The stone hit Elwin's shoulder hard, and his body trembled violently, but he still had no reaction, blocking the Dark Witch like a ruthless puppet.

Deven's heart was instantly tightened. Seeing Elwin injured in order to protect the Dark Witch, her eyes were full of anger and helplessness. "Elwin, don't do this!"

The Dark Witch smiled coldly, her eyes full of mockery: "Do you think you can hurt me like this? He only obeys my orders now." Her voice was full of cold malice, and she obviously sneered at Deven's efforts.

Her mind turned quickly, looking for the next countermeasure. She must find a way to break the control of the Dark Witch and let Elwin regain consciousness. She took a deep breath, her eyes were firm, ready to continue fighting, no matter how difficult it was, she would not give up.

While dodging Elwin's attack, Deven suddenly had an idea in her mind. She looked down at her finger, where she was wearing a magic ring, which Elwin had given her before, which could be used to store things. She quickly thought of a countermeasure: if she could get close to Elwin and put away his staff with the ring, she could temporarily stop him from continuing to attack. As a werewolf, her physical strength was stronger than Elwin, which gave her more confidence.

She took a deep breath and her eyes became firm. Deven knew that she had to take a risk, she concentrated and began to look for opportunities to get close to Elwin. She dodged Elwin's attack nimbly and moved lightly around his side. With each move, she calculated the best time, waiting for an opportunity to quickly approach him.

Finally, when Elwin launched another staff attack, Deven saw a gap. She accelerated suddenly and quickly approached Elwin. The dark witch obviously did not expect her to be so bold and failed to react in time.

Deven held the magic ring tightly and quickly reached out to grab Elwin's staff. The magic power of the ring immediately took effect and the staff was instantly sucked into it. Elwin's hand was suddenly empty, and his mechanical movements also stopped.

The dark witch's face changed suddenly, and she glared at Deven angrily: "How dare you!"

Deven panted, with a firm light in her eyes: "I won't let you continue to control him." Although she knew it was only temporary, she successfully stopped Elwin's attack and bought herself precious time. Her physical strength and speed are her greatest advantages. Now she must find a way to rescue Elwin as soon as possible.

The Dark Witch saw Elwin had lost his staff, and her face twisted in anger, but she quickly regained her composure, with a glimmer of malice in her eyes. "Elwin, since you can't use magic, use your fists," she ordered coldly.

Elwin's body stiffly turned to Deven, raised his fist mechanically, and walked towards her. Although he had lost his staff, his body was still controlled by magic, and his strength and speed had not diminished. Deven gritted her teeth, knowing that the next battle would be a melee, and she had to do her best to deal with it.

At the same time, the Dark Witch waved her staff and chanted a few spells. A foul smell began to fill the air, the ground shook, and several demon monkeys emerged from the darkness, baring their teeth and rushing towards Deven.

"It depends on how you deal with it now." The Dark Witch sneered, obviously confident in her arrangement.

Deven looked at Elwin and the demon monkeys rushing towards her, and her heart was full of tension and determination. She knew that she had to quickly repel these enemies in order to have a chance to rescue Elwin. She took a deep breath, adjusted her posture, and prepared for this harsh battle.

Elwin's fist came towards her, Deven quickly dodged sideways, and kicked him hard in the abdomen, hoping to weaken his attack power a little. The demon monkeys also approached quickly, and she had to deal with Elwin while being alert to these dangerous creatures.

The battle began to become fierce. Deven used her werewolf-specific strength and speed to fight hard with the controlled Elwin and the demon monkeys.

While dealing with the fierce attacks of Elwin and the demon monkeys, Deven was filled with regret and annoyance. She dodged Elwin's fist and used her claws to repel a demon monkey that pounced on her, and her inner self-blame became stronger and stronger.

"Why didn't I learn magic from Elwin?" She kept asking herself in her heart. She recalled that Elwin had patiently taught her how to use magic many times, but she always shirked for various reasons and felt that she didn't need to rely on magic. Now, she understands how stupid her thoughts were at that time.

She gritted her teeth and fought the enemy, while secretly vowing: "If I can survive this crisis, I will definitely learn magic and never run away again." She knew that only by mastering more power can she better protect herself and the people around her.

After dodging Elwin's punch, Deven quickly counterattacked and repelled a demon monkey with one claw. Her physical strength and speed gave her a certain advantage, but she knew that these alone were not enough to completely reverse the situation.

At this time, Elwin's movements became sluggish. Deven took this opportunity to hit Elwin's back of the neck and made him lose consciousness. Elwin, who fainted, could not be controlled. Deven simply checked Elwin's wound and found that it was not serious, so he started to knock down the demon monkeys that rushed over.

But after she killed all the demon monkeys, she went to look for the figure of the dark witch. When Deven found the dark witch, she found that her magic power was absorbed by the dark witch.

Seeing Deven approaching the dark witch, her smile distorted her face that should have been gentle, as if she had never really laughed. Her voice was full of sarcasm and ridicule, and she laughed at Deven's powerlessness and stupidity standing in front of her.

"Oh, dear Deven, you are such a naive child." The dark witch's voice was as icy as frost, "Do you think I will let you knock down the demon monkey so easily?"

There was an evil light in her eyes, hinting at her true intentions. "Thank you for helping me. Now I can absorb the magic power from the demon monkey, making me stronger." Her voice was filled with cold confidence, as if she was standing on the peak of the winner and looking down on everything.

Deven's heart sank, and the anger in her eyes gradually subsided, replaced by a deep disappointment and helplessness. She finally understood that everything the dark witch did just now was just to delay time so that her magic power could be accumulated and strengthened.

Standing in front of the dark witch, Deven felt that she was trapped in a trap that she could not escape. She didn't know how to deal with the situation in front of her, and her heart was full of confusion and helplessness. The confidence and courage she had once had seemed to disappear under the use of the dark witch.

Deven saw that the dark witch continued to absorb the power of the magic stone that had been absorbed by the demon monkey before, making her stronger, and a sense of powerlessness rose in her heart. The laughter and energy surge of the dark witch made Deven's heart sink. She felt that she was trapped in a dilemma with no clear way out. Her thoughts were confused, and she didn't know what to do next to turn the situation around.

She stood in the middle of the battlefield, surrounded by chaos and destruction. She try to find a glimmer of hope and strategy, but the dark witch in front of her seemed to have the upper hand. At this time, Deven realized that she had to refocus her energy and find the weakness of the dark witch, perhaps to find a chance to defeat her.
