Chapter 1036: The war (7)  

The white beast sped up when he noticed how the dragon beast would reach the place where Lilac was standing at any moment now. Seeing how his mate was in danger, he roared loudly.

The roar boomed in the middle of the battlefield, to warn Lilac to step aside. Only, the guardian angel didn't heed the warning and faced the dragon head on.

This is really reckless! How could Lilac be so careless as to endanger herself?! What is she thinking?!

This thought made Jedrek very upset, but also worried and scared at the same time. Lilac could get hurt. The result could be fatal if the dragon pounced on her and Jedrek didn't even want to imagine something like that happening to her.

However, Lilac seemed indifferent to that fact.

Jedrek was in a race against time, but he couldn't make it in time, when the dragon swooped down with a mouth filled with sharp fangs, wide open, ready to devour lilac, whose size was relatively much smaller than the beast.

In one go the dragon beast would swallow her, it was certain that Lilac would not survive that.

Jedrek roared angrily as he saw Lilac remaining completely motionless. His heart was beating so hard that he felt like it was going to explode and what he saw now was like a slow scene in a movie.

Where the dragon opened its mouth wide and Lilac was standing still, staring at the death right in the eyes that was coming to get her.

No... no...

Not like this…

Jedrek felt that his heart would stop beating when the dragon got so close to Lilac and the guardian angel still didn't do anything to save herself, but at a time like this, it seemed like it would be too late for Lilac even if she finally snapped out of her dazed state and tried to escape.

However, at the last second before the dragon could harm Lilac, the guardian angel made a very familiar move, controlling the nature around her, she moved her hand like someone who was cutting something.

And immediately, there was a roar of wind and suddenly the air around the dragon seemed to form a large guillotine and slashed through the dragon's left wing, making the beast roar in pain because it had lost its left wing.

Yet, there was no blood from it.

Its movements stopped and the huge creature writhed in pain. Not only that, the dragon tried to fly by flapping its right wing, but of course the attempt failed and made the dragon beast floundered on to the dirty ground, roaring into the sky with its sharp fangs adorning its mouth.

At that moment, a second slash came aiming at the dragon's neck, only this time Lilac's attack missed and hit the dragon's back, which was covered in hard scales, and was able to withstand the attack.

As if knowing who had attacked him like that, the dragon shifted his focus back to Lilac and tried to attack her again.

This time, Lilac avoided the first hit and using the roots that appeared from the ground, she wrapped the dragon tightly, so it could stop moving.

However, the creature was already mad and with a rush of pain, which it felt, it writhed so frantically that one of its legs almost hit Lilac, were it not for Jedrek in his white beast form who pushed Lilac away. And in exchange, he became the one who got that hit, the guardian angel would endure something more terrifying.

Blood dripped from the white beast's face as the dragon's sharp claws scratched the side of his face. However, he was relieved to see that Lilac was all right.

magic [Stay there!] Jedrek exclaimed over the mind-link.

Because of her shock, Lilac forgot to block her thoughts again, so Jedrek was able to convey this message to Lilac.

The white beast was furious that Lilac had endangered herself like that.

If only Jedrek hadn't moved quickly and Lilac had taken the blow, then he couldn't imagine what would have happened to his mate.

Jedrek didn't want anything bad to happen to her. He would not be able to face the pain of being severed from the bond between them.

However, regardless of what Jedrek or Lilac might think or feel right now, this was not the right time to dwell on it, when death was imminent.

The white beast roared as its back came in contact with the dragon's sharp claws. However, he did not have time to recover when the dragon attacked him again brutally, the pain the dragon felt prompted the beast to become even more vicious.

The white beast noticed his unfavorable position and immediately spun around to counterattack.

Only, the moment wasn't quite right and the white beast almost got stuck with one of the dragon's sharp nails if it weren't for Lilac making the same air- cutting motion and cut off the dragon's arm, which was disproportionate to its huge body.

However, right at that moment, by strongly flapping its only wing which was horned, the dragon beast managed to knock Lilac down, seeing that opportunity, the dragon immediately left Jedrek and attacked the defenseless guardian angel again.

With its horned wing, the dragon tried to stab the guardian angel, but the white beast jumped between them, making himself a shield to protect his mate. There was no way on earth he would let anything happen to Lilac before his eyes.

The white beast stood on top of Lilac, who was lying on the ground, just in time for the horned wing to crash into him.

But, after a while, the pain did not come, instead, he heard the roar of the dragon howling in pain.

The sound broke through the air deafeningly and from the expression on Lilac's face, he realized that something was amiss.

And as soon as the white beast turned around to see what happened, his heart sank…

Behind him, was Serefina, standing with the horns of the dragon's wings pierced into her body, penetrating from her chest to her back.
