Chapter 278 - Tower master (2/2)

”What's that!” Rick shouted as he looked ahead of him.

Just before the crowned Harpies was about to dive down, a large line or purple energy was coming towards them. The two Crowned harpies went up higher into the air, but the same couldn't be said for the other harpies.

The attack came out too fast for them, and they were already flying at their highest point, no longer able to climb. The purple energy came out and hit every single one of them. The energy passed through their bodies and at first, it seemed like nothing had happened.

But then slowly, the Harpies wings started to crumble away into dust and eventually was blown away into the wind like a pile of ashes.

”That came from the city, we're saved!” Rick shouted.

But Martha thought differently, from the concerned look on Lenny's face she knew it wasn't over. As she looked above the two Crowned harpies were completely fine and still following them.

That's when Jack had had enough. Jack who had been at the back of the group for the longest time sprinted up to the front. With Roy still held in his hands.

While running just behind Lenny he placed Roy over his shoulder. Then made sure to hand the bag over to Lenny as well.

”Look after them,” Jack said.

”No, wait! What are you planning to do?”

Then Jack suddenly stopped and turned and started running towards the other direction, he went from his two legs onto all fours, and his body started to change and finally, he had completed his transformation.

Using the power in his leg's he jumped up a great distance and managed to grab one of the Crowned harpies. This surprised the beast and caused it to panic. The weight was slowly bringing the beast down and it started to fly frantically in all different directions.

Then finally the Crowned Harpy was taken out of the air and they crashed back into the forest.

”Will he be okay?” Martha asked.

”I'm not sure, the foolish boy, he acted too fast, now that the other harpies have been destroyed, I should be able to protect us just long enough to reach the city.”

Rick had witnessed the whole thing, as Jack ran back towards the beast, he had seen him transform into some sort of creature.

”You guys have been harbouring a monster,” Rick said.

”Don't you dare call him a monster!” Martha snapped back.
