The Palace Beast
Chapter 124 - The Wendigo’s Conversion

Neena's wendigo grabbed John and run his head against the wall, though not able to afflict injury on John because of his powers. He has the strength of a god but that doesn't stop the wendigo to run his head against the wall. After hitting his head on the wall severally, the wendigo tossed him to the almond tree at the center of the courtyard.

Before John could get to his feet, the wendigo slammed him to the wall. "Oh fuck!" John exclaimed. He picked himself up. He's trying not to reveal his powers but for how long? The wendigo really means business.

As the wendigo started approaching John again, archers run into the courtyard and surrounded the wendigo, and started firing shots at it. They were alerted by the agonizing screams they heard. The same screaming that led John into the courtyard.

With a loud purring sound the wendigo switched its attention to the archers. They are seven archers. They continued firing shots at the wendigo but seeing it had no effect, they started drawing back but one of them became victimized when the wendigo went for his heart and ripped it out.

Fear gripped the other six as they became paralyzed in fear and unable to move. The wendigo locked unto another target and started walking towards him.

At this time, John made up his mind he has had enough. He swiftly moved in the speed of the lightning and blasted the wendigo to the almond tree. He doesn't want to see anyone get hurt. He glances at the archers. "Is everyone okay?" "Sorcery!" they exclaimed drawing away from John. Seeing a stranger with magic powers terrifies the people of Maxis except the stranger has been recognized and approved by a King or King to work within the walls of a Fortified city. "It doesn't matter. Carry your dead and get the hell out of here. I got this!"

John turned and started making his way to the almond tree where the wendigo crashed. As the wendigo was dragging its feet up, John knocked the wendigo down with a wind blast. He had blasted him before with a lightning blast but all he could see is the wendigo regenerating. A wounded wendigo simply regenerates.

To be able to stop a wendigo from regenerating, John must freeze the heart of the wendigo and strike right through the wendigo's ice-cold heart. The primary weakness of a wendigo is its frozen heart.

John's eyes started flashing with lightning as he approaches the wendigo and grabbed by its neck and lifted it above the ground. He has other plans rather than just freezing the wendigo's heart. He started making ancient enchantments. Out of his mouth speaks mysteries that he can't resist speaking as utterances were mysteriously given to him. He can't resist the utterances as he continued flowing in the spirit of the ancient enchantments.

As he continued his enchantments in the words unknown to a natural man, the wendigo was covered with flashes of lighting. John quickly releases the wendigo from his grip and lets the flashes of lightning take control.

John's eyes turned to normal but the wendigo is now floating in the air. It's as if the flashes of lighting are lifting the wendigo up and up the more.

The wendigo let out a loud purring sound that can be heard by everyone within the castle premises. After letting out the purring sound the flashes of lightning disappeared and the wendigo slump to the ground. "Rise now and behold your master!" said John. He stretched his hands towards the wendigo.

Hastily the wendigo rose to its feet and bend the knee. "I am at your service, master. Command me and I will heed." The wendigo slightly lowered the head as an act of reverence while still bending the knee.

Lord Ramsey at this time led the three knights of Maxis and the two guards into the courtyard. They have John and the wendigo surrounded. "What type of creature is this?" Lord Ramsey exclaimed unsheathing his sword.

"What is this you want to do? Stand down; I have the creature under my control now." John cast his gaze at Lord Ramsey. He can clearly see Lord Ramsey is really hungry for blood, but definitely not the blood of the wendigo but his because a wendigo doesn't bleed.

Ever since Lord Ramsey found out about the identity of Queen Bonnie, he now detests her and anyone who is close in relationship with her. He really wants to get back at Queen Bonnie by hurting John. He felt betrayed that the King could keep such a secret from him after he had put his life on the line to make sure the rightful heir was announced as the new King of Maxis. He now sees reasons why the late King does not what to associate with his sister. 'Perhaps she found out the Bonnie about her,' his thoughts became troubling to him that he wishes to end all this. He raised his sword and then pointed it towards John as he gave the order. "Charge!"

The knights and guards unsheathed their swords. They followed the order of Lord Ramsey; even though the order wasn't clear on whom there are attacking, whether John or the creature. They followed the order anyway but before they could get to either John or the wendigo, the wendigo stood in their way.

The wendigo growled and purred at the same time and slammed the knights to the ground. The guards were coming from behind the wendigo when John ordered them to stand down but Lord Ramsey opposed. "On whose name are you ordering them to stand down?" he asked.

"On the King' name and if anyone fails to follow my order, I will have their head on a platter."

"And you think the King will be pleased?" Lord Ramsey glared at John. He approaches John and then stared down at him. "You think the people didn't know?"

"I don't care." John turned towards the guards, "If you want to live to see another day, return to your duties and carry the injured knights to the healer."

On John's command as the adviser to the King, the guards quickly sheathed their swords. As they were about leaving Lord Ramsey began hauling insult at them and threatening to relieve them of their duties, but they ignored him and did as John has commanded. "You think you will turn my men against me, huh?"

"You threaten to relieve them of their duties. Perhaps I should charge you for treason."

"You must be out of your crazy mind."

"You committed treason by ignoring the revolt against your King."

"I'm sworn to protect a human King, not a vampire."

"And you want to turn on the same family you have been loyal to for years?"

"The late King will be pleased with my actions."

"Perhaps I should send you to the late King," said John as he turned towards the wendigo and ordered him to take away Lord Ramsey and have him thrown in the dungeon.
