Chapter 262 Heroine's Natural Enemy Attack
The moon hung low in the sky, casting an eerie glow over the desolate landscape. Nyx stood at the center of a makeshift gathering spot, her silhouette outlined by the pale light. The air crackled with anticipation, the chill seeping into her bones as she surveyed her companions—Lilith, Iris, and Bing.
"It's time," Nyx announced, her voice steady and commanding. "We've waited long enough. Each of you has a target."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Lilith leaned against a jagged rock, her wings fluttering slightly as she listened. Her dark eyes flicked from Iris to Bing, a hint of impatience surfacing. "And what are our orders, oh fearless leader?" she drawled, a smirk playing on her lips.
"Lilith, you will head north," Nyx replied, her gaze unwavering. "The northern villages are weak, easy prey. Cleanse them of their existence."
Lilith shrugged, feigning indifference, but inside, she bristled at the thought. "Killing weaklings doesn't excite me, you know. I thrive on the challenge of powerful opponents."
Nyx smiled, "Don't worry, soon you will find someone to entertain yourself."
"Fine, I'll make it quick," Lilith replied, rolling her eyes. "But I expect that someone won't be my sister."
"Next," Nyx continued, turning her attention to Iris. "Iris, you will go east. Same as Lilith, kill as much as you can."
Iris nodded, but her heart was heavy. Was this truly the path she wanted? "I'll do what I must," she said, her voice steady. Yet deep down, she felt a gnawing reluctance. This wasn't what she had envisioned for her rebirth.
"And you, Bing," Nyx said, glancing at the young Ice Dragon. "You will go west. There's a small village there, destroy it."
"Of course, Nyx," Bing replied eagerly, her eyes sparkling with admiration. To her, Nyx was more than a leader; she was a mother figure. Whatever Nyx commanded, Bing would follow without question. "I'll make you proud!"
Nyx smiled slightly, pleased with Bing's enthusiasm. "I know you will. Now, as for me, I'll head south. The cities there are larger, with more people to crush." She paused, her eyes narrowing. "And I intend to send a message to the world."
With a nod of understanding, the group dispersed, each moving to their assigned direction. The air buzzed with tension, a storm brewing just beneath the surface.

Iris – East
As Iris soared through the night sky, her wings glimmering in the moonlight, she felt a mix of determination and dread. The wind whipped through her feathers, but her heart was heavy. She could sense the approaching village, nestled within a forest.
Why am I doing this? she pondered, her thoughts darkening. She landed softly at the edge of the village, her golden eyes surveying the quaint homes. Laughter and warmth emanated from within, blissfully unaware of the storm that was about to descend upon them.
Iris took a deep breath, focusing on the task at hand.
She extended her wings, the flames flickering around her as she summoned a wave of fire. Her flames erupted forth, illuminating the darkened village as she targeted the central building. The fire licked the walls, devouring everything in its path.
Panic erupted in the village as the villagers rushed from their homes, screaming in terror. Iris watched as the flames continued to roar, consuming the building whole.

Lilith – North
Meanwhile, in the northern villages, Lilith was already unleashing her own brand of chaos. She hovered above the small cluster of homes, her heart racing with anticipation. The night was silent, the villagers unaware of the impending doom.
With a wave of her hand, she summoned a tempest of shadows, swirling dark tendrils that lashed out at the houses below. "How quaint," she mused, a twisted smile spreading across her lips. "Little mice scurrying about in their cozy little nests…"
The shadows enveloped the houses, seeping through cracks and windows, creating panic. Villagers rushed outside, eyes wide with horror as they tried to comprehend the nightmare unfolding before them.
"Flee if you wish," Lilith called out, her voice a seductive whisper. "But I assure you, your efforts will be futile. I'm here for your lives, not your pity."
One of the villagers, a brave young man, stepped forward, brandishing a crude weapon—a pitchfork. "Leave us be, monster!" he shouted, trembling but resolute.
Lilith laughed, the sound rich with malice. "Oh, how precious. A valiant hero against a queen of shadows." With a flick of her wrist, she sent forth a wave of darkness that swept the pitchfork aside, sending the young man sprawling.
"Pathetic!" Lilith mocked, enjoying the chaos she was sowing. But even as she reveled in the destruction, she felt a flicker of disappointment. These aren't even worth my time, she thought, rolling her eyes. Where's the challenge?
With a wave, she engulfed the village in darkness, allowing the shadows to devour homes, families, and dreams alike. Her heart was not in it, but Nyx's command lingered in her mind, fueling her actions. And if Nyx wanted destruction, then destruction she would deliver.

Bing – West
In the west, Bing flapped her powerful wings, the air chilling around her as she approached the small village nestled against the mountains. She was excited, her heart racing with the thrill of serving Nyx. Every instruction given to her felt like a sacred task.
"Nyx will be so proud of me," she murmured to herself, landing gracefully near the edge of the village. She surveyed the peaceful scene before her—the villagers were gathering, laughing, unaware of the impending doom.
Bing inhaled deeply, gathering the icy energy within her. With a powerful exhale, she released a blizzard that cascaded through the village, burying homes beneath mounds of snow and ice.

The villagers screamed as they were caught in the sudden storm. Bing watched, a smile on her face. They looked so small and helpless, yet there was a strange exhilaration in wielding such power.
"Get inside! Quickly!" a woman shouted, clutching her child as they dashed toward their homes.
Bing watched as she unleashed even more powerful spells.
