BXBX NOVEL Chapter 865 - THEIR POWER
Chapter 865 - THEIR POWER
Aside from the thunder from the rain which was pouring down heavily in the city, some other thunderous sounds came from the ground.
It shook the city wall like an earthquake and sent all the citizens running in to the open streets, while covering their heads, afraid that the nearby buildings would fall onto their heads when the dirt crumbled.
The screams and criesof people along with children filled the entire city. The quiet and peaceful day had turned into a nightmare.
But, that was not all, because beneath the ground, they could see something moving very fast toward the castle. There were around ten such things burrowing their way toward one direction, the east castle.
All the citizens tried to go out of the city wall, because those creepy things scared them and the surrounding buildings threatened to collapse at any moment from now.
Far away from the city, on top of the hill, the king watched as the citizens of the eastern region started to go out from the protection of their wall, and a smirk appeared at the corner of his lips.
Jedrek shifted his attention back to his mate, who was still crouching in the same position like before. She was squatting down with her palms pressed flat onto the ground, her eyes concentrating hard.
Meanwhile, beside the king, Sebastian and Theo\'s jaws dropped when they witnessed the destruction that their new queen unleashed just in the blink of any eye.
By now, the rain stopped pouring down, but the dark clouds were still hanging low on top of the tower.
Yet, it didn\'t stop there.
They could see something very big gliding like an enormous creeper, which coiled the highest tower of the castle and crushed it down, even they could hear the sound of the stones crumbling from a afar, and the tower tumbled down to the ground within a few seconds.
That enormous creeper coiled the tower like a snake to crush its prey.
They were not sure what was that, but knowing Lilac, it must be her power that created that. A natural force!
Witnessing all the happenings up to this point, Sebastian and Theo remembered all the mean things that they spat at Lilac, about being a weak guardian angel and they suddenly shuddered.
A single guardian angel could ruin a city without a trace!
What would happen if the other two guardian angels were also here to join this?
Even Jedrek looked at his mate indulgently.
However, something caught his scent and he turned around abruptly to check his surroundings, yet he couldn\'t find it.
"What happened, your majesty?" asked Sebastian upon sensing Jedrek\'s puzzlement.
"Nothing," Jedrek spat curt and cold before he looked at the city once again. That must be his imagination.
For a second, Jedrek felt like he smelled the citrus scent that he had known very well. This citrus scent was different from the one that he smelled earlier and that scent belonged to her.
From here, Jedrek could see Lilac overthrew another tower of the castle in the city.
Lilac was right after all, if they couldn\'t get inside, it would be the best to draw them out from their safety.
All of the devastation lasted for another five minutes, until seemingly all of the citizens from the eastern region had gone out of the city wall and gathered in front of it, like a flock of frightened animals.
Only then did Lilac stopped what she was doing and stood up gracefully.
She noticed that a few towers had disappeared, which were crumbled down and the dirt was now heaped behind the high wall, not within her sight.
"The witches came over," Sybil said.
"We will return," Lilac replied and turned around to walk back to the hill with Sybil in tow, who was chanting a few spells, in case those witches would attack them from behind.
Despite them having to climb up the hill, it was not at all difficult for Lilac, as she cleared her path and made the sloppy surface turn into stairs for her.
Up the hill, Jedrek waited for her with eyes filled with affection.
He took Lilac\'s hand when she was close enough to him and wiped the dirt from her palms, while saying, "you did a great job."
Lilac\'s smile was akin to the bright sun when she heard his compliment.
Jedrek was so rare to express his feelings, therefore, the moment he did that, Lilac felt appreciated and elated.
When she turned around to see the five witches coming over to where they were standing with angry steps, Lilac glanced at Sebastian and Theo, who kept staring at her since she climbed the hill and gave them both a look, as if saying; what? Do you still think I am weak?
With that look, Sebastian and Theo averted their gazes and looked somewhere else.
Jedrek saw that, but didn\'t say anything, since his woman could handle the whole city, two generals would be nothing in her eyes.
He loved how Lilac let him saw her weakness and raw emotions when it was only the two of them, it helped Jedrek to show her his, but she would appear strong and unperturbed when they were in the public.
==============
Hope bent down her body and placed her ear as close as she could to the icy surface.
She could now hear the voice clearly from its bottom, but couldn\'t understand a word from it. What was that? The sound was like someone was crying, or screaming…? She was unsure.
"Raine!" the dwarf shouted to her, to get the other guardian angel\'s attention.
Raine, who was looking at Hope current state worriedly, shifted her attention to Nutdrouk, who was wearing a blue shabby robe.
"What?" Raine shouted back at him, the sound of thunders made everything around here more nerve-wrecking and she didn\'t want anything else except go back to the castle and melt in Torak warm embrace.
"Concentrate!" Nutdrouk shouted again.
"Concentrate on what?!" Raine asked in confusion.
"Time!" Nutdrouk waved his hand and the blue lizard glided down from his hoodie on to his hand.
"What?" Raine became even more confused with his words.
At the same time, something horrifying happened. It happened very fast that even Lidya couldn\'t see it coming.
