Chapter 1033: The war (4)  

Wrath and Mammon felt their bodies starting to fade as their vision was cut off at once, without letting the other three realize what was happening to them. The white mist played a major role in blurring the ocular senses of the devils.

They were staring at each other with unconcealed confusion etched on their facial expressions, as they themselves didn't seem to understand why something like this was happening to them.

The two devils then thought of Serefina and the thin white mist that covered almost the entire battlefield and a slight understanding dawned upon them in the next moment.

This was a very old magic trick and it had been a long time since they had heard of this magic. However, even though Serefina was a pure-blooded witch, she alone was not sufficient to perform such a powerful magic trick.

It would take at least five pure-blooded magicians to achieve this feat.

They were talking about 'summoning magic for the demons' soul. Only a few people could do it and out of those few people, it took five magicians who have great magic prowess to make sure all this goes smoothly.

However, what the devils did not know was; Serefina didn't need the other magicians help because they were all connected to the guardian angels through their blood, which they had consumed after the various spells that Serefina casted over it so that the blood could be drunk by them.

In addition, the guardian angels' blood could increase the abilities of other beings. Therefore, at this point, what Serefina doing now was very likely to be considered as a success already.

It was just that, instead of perfectly 'summoning' all the five devils to be drawn in to Hope's realm at the same time, only two could be lured in to the guardian angel's trap.

But, on the positive note, at least this was better than the worst outcome Hope have imagined earlier.

Slowly, the two devils started to fade away and Hope gritted her teeth even more so that she could concentrate more on this and finish it immediately.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, Jedrek glanced at Serefina with worry, his red eyes couldn't steer away from the witch's figure as he noticed that the longer this was happening, the weaker Serefina was getting.

The white beast whimpered when he saw how blood flowed from the sides of her lips and trickled down her chin and neck, while her face grew paler and her body trembled.

Especially when Serefina fell to the ground and knelt down, her hands gripped the dirty ground with a gasping breath, as if someone was choking her.

She was at her limits.

And when the minotaurs and shifters, led by Torak, finally made it to her side, Jedrek immediately approached Serefina and stood beside her. The beast nuzzled the side of her face softly.

And all of this was witnessed by Lilac.

She stood not far from them, fighting the remaining creatures from hell and trying to protect the dragons and the phoenix who were trying to kill the Hydra.

Lilac stared at the two of them with gloomy eyes and for a moment her concentration was distracted until she didn't notice that a creature was lurking behind her as it prepared to pounce on her.

If it weren't for Torak who lunged at the creature just before it could execute it move, Lilac would be in grave danger.

The white beast bit her fingers softly, as if to remind her that they were surrounded by enemies and she shouldn't daze out like that. It was very dangerous and it would be crucial if something happened to one of the guardian angels.

Lilac shook her head and tried to refocus on the problem in front of her eyes, it was just that it was very difficult to shift her focus or forget how Jedrek was looking at Serefina.

It hurts so much to witness your own mate staring at another woman with eyes filled with anxiety and worry.

However, this was not the right time to dwell on the matter, as there were more pressing issues to be dealt with.

With all her might, Lilac tried not to be affected and returned to fight and protect as many creatures as she could.

On the other hand, two of the five devils had disappeared and Hope managed to bring them to her realm.

However, she was too weak to continue capturing the other three.

This situation was very precarious, because they did not know how the outcome would turn out. While devils were unable to teleport as their accomplices from hell began to dwindle in numbers, the lycanthropes felt exhausted and Donovan's murder of over a thousand humans began to show its side effects.

Their strength weakened greatly.

Meanwhile, when Serefina fell to her knees with a trembling body, due to the pain and side effects she received from being bold enough to sap the strength of the three Guardian Angels' blood and several other shifters to increase her own strength, the mist slowly faded away.

Instantly, Jedrek changed back into his human form and pulled Serefina's body into his arms.

"What happened?" Jedrek asked Serefina, worryness could be heard in his voice clearly when he saw how Serefina's face twisted in pain.

Serefina intended to say something, but then pursed her lips tightly to prevent a groan from escaping her lips and took a deep breath instead, as if that way she could alleviate the almost unbearable pain, only to find that her wish was something unattainable at this point. The pain did not decrease and she could feel her body weaken as her strength slowly left her being.

Jedrek's frown deepened when he saw that and all he could do was hug the witch's body which was getting colder, as she shivered from time to time.

Due to Serefina's condition, the mist that she had created had disappeared, and the three remaining devils fell to their knees as they felt the pressure slowly dissipating.

And that was when Lilith appeared near them and helped them to teleport to a safer place.

The dragon dance that was taking place in the air slowly stopped and the flames enveloping the Hydra faded away, revealing a nine-headed monster that had now turned to a delicate ash- dust statue and with one last soft touch of the blowing wind, the dust went flying as it slowly dispersed in the air…
