Roul made a shelter from the soil and stone on the ground that protected them like a shell.
When they were inside the shell, it was as if they were being roasted alive.
“How about now?” Roul asked anxiously. Sweat flooded all over his body.
He wiped his face with the robe and then squeezed it. He looked at Rion who was standing in front of him.
The king said nothing, but white light slowly enveloped his body.
“Olivia, get ready!” Roul exclaimed firmly. In the next second, a burst of white light shattered the ground, and at the same time, Olivia controlled the wind and split the flames so they wouldn’t get on them. The sight was like a high wave being halved, and they were standing in the middle of a sea of flames.
“I can’t hold it anymore,” Olivia muttered with difficulty. Her two outstretched hands trembled greatly, having great difficulty enduring the flames.
For a moment, Roul looked
The door opened, and Saintess Angela entered the room.“Lie down. Saintess Angela will check your condition.” Rion helped Odette lie down, then stood up. He made room for the Saintess to check the girl’s condition.The last time Odette awakened her power, she had internal injuries that made her cough up blood.Saintess Angela placed her palm on Odette’s chest and began to perform a healing procession.Just like the first time when Saintess Angela treated her, Odette felt her heart being stabbed by something sharp. This time, not only her heart but also felt pain in some of her other internal organs, making Rion worried about seeing her in pain.“Her injuries are more severe than before, but it can still be healed. I hope this is the last time that power is used. It is very dangerous for her, especially because she is pregnant. It’s grateful that the fetus is still safe and sound,” Saintess Angela said after
Bugh bugh bugh!“Sorry, Odette.” Rion shielded his head while Odette got mad and beat him relentlessly.“I won’t forgive you this time! YOU ARE ANNOYING!” Odette was half mad when she found out that Rion burning to death was just a scenario arranged by Rion and his friends.“Don’t you think about how I felt when I thought you were dead?!” Odette finally stopped beating Rion due to exhaustion. She then sat down in a chair with a heavy breath. “I feel like my life is being taken away at the thought of you burning to death,” she said dejectedly.Rion stepped closer and hugged her. “I’m sorry. " It was the only way to destroy the curse mark on your neck and escape from there,” he continued, gently running his hand through Odette’s hair.“Can’t you tell me first?”Rion smiled. “If I told you beforehand, you wouldn’t be that mad, and y
Rion kissed Odette’s hand and begged desperately for the girl to agree to return to her era. “Please, Odette. Return to your era. Your place is not here. I beg you,” he said in a pleading tone. Tears started to trickle down his cheeks. He couldn’t control himself as fear of the situation would force him to choose between Odette and Panthera. He didn’t want to face the same situation six years ago, where he had to choose between Rose and his responsibilities as a king.Rion didn’t want to be pessimistic, but he couldn’t stop thinking about the worst possibility where he couldn’t protect Odette, and Gerald cast obedience magic on the girl again.Odette looked at Rion as tears also brimmed down on her cheeks, but she couldn’t grant his wish. She pulled and released her hand roughly, then ran out of the house.The snow was falling slowly. On a long bench under a tree, she sat there while weeping, ignoring the col
“I’m going home,” she said firmly while holding back the sadness in her heart. “No need to tell Roul to send thirty Wizard Knights to look after me,” she added and walked into the room.Odette moved closer to the bed, then sat there while staring straight ahead. She then looked around, looking at every corner of the room.Her gaze landed on the stuffed monkey on top of the cupboard then she stood up to take it. She stared at it closely.Odette suddenly remembered Lucifer, who always followed her behind. She hugged the doll and felt sad when remembering it while Rion watched her silently in the doorway.Odette put the doll back in its place, then opened the cupboard, taking a box out. Inside the box was her and Rion’s wedding ring.“Can I bring this?” she asked while looking at the man.Rion’s heart ached to hear that. He didn’t want to give Odette permission to bring the ring becaus
“ATTACK!”The first prince of the Arawn Kingdom shouted loudly, and the troops behind him immediately rushed at the rows of knights guarding the border of Panthera.The knights guarding the border that came under attack didn’t remain silent. They also launched an attack to defend their territory.A war between the two armies ensued.The first prince of Arawn dominated the fight. He moved briskly, slashing the number of knight troops mercilessly.However, the leader of the Panthera Knights immediately confronted him and became an opponent that was not easy to beat.The leader of the knights managed to dodge and avoid the swinging of the enemy’s sword and then kicked the first prince of Arawn in the stomach, making him take a few steps back.Not wanting to give him a moment to breathe, the leader of the knights dashed off and executed the attack swiftly.The sound of clashing swords resounded, making the p
The black hole, which was the core of this mass, looked like a bottomless abyss.He was stunned as the water gradually turned red and the black hole turned white. In the next second, it displayed the various places that were connected to the lake.“It has been activated!” Kaven gasped. “Queen, pay close attention to every place there and tell me immediately if you find where you fell before,” he said quickly.“What?” Fear mixed with confusion appeared on Odette’s face. She had decided to go home, but at the last second, she got scared. It felt like she wanted to run away and undo everything.Odette pressed her lips tightly and looked at Rion, but the man was not looking at her at all.“Your Highness, you must hurry! The King won’t be able to activate this for too long. The wheel of time will keep sucking his power if you keep lingering like that. The power of the King will run out, and he may di
Two to five chimeras roared with deafening shrieks while people screamed as they scrambled and ran for their lives. “Ahk!” A man was thrown forward after stumbling on something, and when he turned around, the chimera pounced on him and tore his body to pieces. The sight caused everyone to grow even more terrified to the point of running off with blank minds. In another city, a hydra was going rampage. The creature swung its tail back and forth, razing all the surrounding buildings to dust. People ran aimlessly, trying to save themselves. Although they were safe from the pursuit of the monster, many of them were killed by the falling buildings. In the sky, creatures shaped like reptiles but with wings like bats flew around and attacked the humans mercilessly. Screams and cries could be heard in all directions. The knights and medics spread out to all parts of the place to perform the rescue. In the capital, fighting had already
All the alters stared at him fixedly. Usually, Rion would look down dejectedly or even feel annoyed when they talked, but this time, his reaction was more positive and bright.After seeing Jack, he turned to look at Lucifer. “What happened to Rose is my fault. I admit it and regret it, but I don’t do it intentionally. I didn’t stay silent when she was accused. I did everything I could to find out the truth.”“But, you failed to save her! You didn’t believe her. Rose cried and knelt before you, saying that she was innocent and didn’t betray you, but you feigned ignorance. You even screamed at her and slapped her delicate cheek.” Lucifer dug into Rion’s deepest regret, gnawing at the positive aura that the man had just woken up.“I…” Rion lost his words for a moment. He couldn’t do anything to erase his guilt for what he had done to Rose, and it seemed like he would carry that guilt for
