Chapter 386 - THEY ARE COMING
Questions after questions were roaming around her head, yet she tried to shake them off, right now there was important thing that she should do. Raine didn\'t have time to think about that yet.
While Raine attending to Raphael and Calleb, Aeon moved to the two Alphas and brought them closer, so they gathered in one small circle with Aeon in the middle.
"Calleb, this is me. Are you okay?" Raine shook the Gamma\'s body lightly as his eyes were so dull.
"I am… I am… fine…" Calleb stammered, trying to regain his own consciousness as he shook his head vigorously as if he was trying to get rid of the dreadful images right before his eyes.
The same thing happened to Raphael and the other two Alphas.
Raine literally could hear their ragged breathe.
Yet, when Raine thought everything would be better as they had found the four missing people, something unexpected happened again.
There was a loud noisy. The sound was coming from faraway place, maybe from the floor atop of them.
The first thing that came into Raine\'s mind was; Serefina. Did the witch encounter predicament?
That loud noisy then intensified as all of them could hear the sound of terrifyingly intense rumbling. The sound was getting louder and louder until it became a deafening roar.
Raine pressed her palms on her ears and before the sound consumed her, she found herself in a pair of arms, and she was whisked away.
When Raine looked back, she was blinded by a flash of light, it was a fireball, which exploded only twenty meters away from her.
Raine was dumbfounded. They were no longer inside the empty room with strange book laid alone atop of podium.
Aeon, or Serefina, had brought them back to the surface, in the yard, in front of the house, which now had turned into debris.
Raine watched in horror as the center of the yard was set ablaze. She held the arms of the person who held her, tightly.
Raine skimmed her surroundings, all the Lycanthropes had shifted into their beast form and let out a howl, beckoning the other beast to gather around in pack formation, ready for the next attack.
But then she heard what sounded like wh.i.p.s cutting through the air, the sharp and distinct cracks reverberated throughout the air, churning up dust and smoke as the winds became more intense. The beasts spread out.
Raine squinted her eyes and scanned the scene before her eyes, it was hard to see as dust and smoke swirled in the air.
When the things went quiet and all the debris had settled down, it was when Raine saw Lucifer and Belphegor, flying high above them with their hideous smirk on their lips.
Both of them stared down at the yard like a predator, looking for their prey, ready to kill.
The beasts snarled and snapped at the devils, daring them to attack while Serefina, who was standing right next to Raine, clenched her jaw and balled her fists.
"We can\'t do this," she muttered under her breath, only then Raine spotted blood trickled down from her temple, but the witch remained steadfast. "We have to go from here, they are too strong in their land."
It was so rare to hear Serefina asked for reatreat.
Yet, when Raine raised her head and looked at the sky, it was no longer the darkness of the night sky, it was the color of something, or unknown creatures, covered it. Something evil.
"What is that?" Raine whispered, holding her breath as she watched those dark things moved closer, engulfed the light of all the stars.
"Their legion." Aeon replied, very close to her ears. Then, Raine realized that she was in his embrace since the beginning.
Raine tried to free herself from him, but he held her even tighter.
"Witch." He stretched his hand out and waited for Serefina to grab it.
Though she didn\'t like the way the shadow warrior called her, they didn\'t have time to hear her complaint.
Thus, just like before, they touched each other and everything changed in matter of millisecond, before a fireball exploded where all of them had been standing.
==============
Raine blinked her eyes a couple of time before she could adjust herself from the sudden change. She has been changing places three times less than five minutes.
"Let me go." Raine gently removed herself from Aeon\'s embrace, she didn\'t want to offend him, but she wasn\'t comfortable, with their proximity.
Aeon, finally, let her go as he looked at the girl in her arms moved away from him with sad expression.
"What you\'ve got?" Serefina didn\'t let Aeon to stay in his melancholic state for long time as she bothered him immediately. "Those devils will follow us here. You better have good news about your trip to the passageway."
Actually, Serefina and Aeon worked well together, regardless their bickering every now and then, as both of them used their magic to move from the collapse bar house right in time.
They could teleport themselves out of there, but Aeon couldn\'t teleport them right away into the room where the book was placed.
The shadow warrior didn\'t appreciate the way the witch talked to him as he squinted his eyes dangerously. "The library, huh?"
Aeon noticed that they were in the yard, in front of the collapsed library building.
"Mm, nostalgic, isn\'t it." Serefina crossed her arms in front of her chest as she replied sarcastically.
Right at that time, there was a security guard running toward their direction with flashlight in his hand. "Hey! What are you doing there!!!" He shouted angrily and made Raine startled.
Yet, before that man could take another step closer, Serefina had waved her hand and then his body flew a few meters away before dropped to the ground.
"Serefina! You killed him!?" Raine was shocked.
