The Bloody Crown
Chapter 206: The beginning of the battle
Looking back, Temithea realized that they had already gone significantly beyond the boundaries of the Abion palace, which means that nothing was holding them back anymore, which means Amanda will be able to find a safe way to get the people assigned to her.
She really hoped that they would be able to escape, because Artemis’s memory was too vividly filled with a picture of bygone days. Back then, witches didn’t even spare children.
A wet wolf’s nose gently touched her cheek.
Despite the fact that Klaus was tied to Adeline, he couldn’t go back on his word to Thea a couple of years ago. She was like a goddess to him, who allowed him to live a little longer, who pulled him out of the darkness, defended him in the face of the vampire king. His life was promised to her and he couldn’t compromise his principles at the moment.
His group spread out in the crowd, fighting with a crowd of angry bliars, and he could still smell them, knew that they were all alive. It was enough for him to run to Thea.
Everyone in Abion immediately recognized in those snow-white hair the Riliya princess, the beloved of their king, and everyone tried with desperate zeal to protect her, even if their own lives were at stake.
While she froze for a split second at the sight of a monstrously huge bliar rushing at her, Klaus was already rushing to meet him, intercepting his blow in the air. His body began to transform in the same way, bending bones, stretching out a long fanged jaw and raising a huge rib cage covered with armored muscles hiding under fluffy fur covered with blood.
With a menacing growl, he rose up on his hind legs, and with his front paws dug into the throat of the stupid bliar. The elongating fingers clenched tightly, until they crunched, and the steel brass knuckles enveloping the claws sank deeper into the soft tissues until they tore out the cervical vertebra.
Milos confidently made his way into the very depths of the confrontation. Skillfully maneuvering, he couldn’t help but think that all these creatures were damn strong and those damn witches were definitely behind it. He was going to kill them one by one with his own hands.
Dexter, casting a sidelong glance at the general, returned his attention to bliar, who made him sweat a lot. And although he had already disabled one, the other still did not give up. And it’s worth paying tribute, his speed was truly fantastic, and at the same time very annoying and unpleasant.
He was going to end it, and gathering all his strength in one jerk, he threw the sword aside. Bliar lunged at the glittering gleam of steel, but at the same moment, Dexter pierced his rib cage from behind, ripping out his hot, beating heart.
The red eyes of the vampires were now flashing everywhere like signal beacons scattered on the battlefield, in the heat of rage, no one could restrain their feelings and increased bloodlust. The only thing that saved them was that the blood of all these creatures was disgusting to the smell, like rotting flesh lying on sour rusty metal. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
Sean and Cornell acted in a group, covering each other’s backs, and they coped surprisingly better than vampires, whether it was their build and flexibility, or their keen sense of smell.
Carrick also held on for now, despite the fact that he was older than the other guys, he was not inferior to them in strength, and perhaps it was all about his experience and wisdom. He acted punctually, confidently, avoiding unjustified risks and not giving in to emotions. His cool, reasonable head had so far successfully kept him alive, despite the fact that he was surrounded by three bliars.
Temithea sent sharp ice spikes at one of the bliars, which pierced his skin, causing him to fall on his back and howl, but then he got up, shook himself and grinned even more, directing his angry gaze in her direction.
With timid steps and a frightened, rabbit-like look, she backed away, watching bliar’s rapid approach. And as soon as he was in her reach, Klaus tore off his head with part of the cervical spine. It was a great maneuver to show the enemy your fear and vulnerability, even if they were only ostentatious.
- I need to get ahead. - She shouted at Klaus. - We won’t be able to hold out for long if we don’t get to the witches before these creatures kill us.
She could see doubt in his amber eyes, but he didn’t show it with any gestures or movements, he was just thinking about how to help her get past this snowball-shaped, fighting crowd.
But as if her thoughts were material, or God heard her prayers, a horse neighed behind her and she turned on her heels with sincere delight and genuine joy and rushed to hug the satin black neck Berkoot.
How could she have forgotten about him?
And he was still the same, obstinate, proud, roused up, but did not push her away, but allowed himself to be saddled.
From this height, she was able to see what was happening better, and at the same time, the number of dead comrades.
A soft sigh of horror made her lips tremble, but the longer she hesitated, the more dead there would be, so she put aside her thoughts of sadness. There will be time for mourning later.
Klaus ran ahead, literally shoving enemies aside, and she sent spells at them.
Having discarded all norms and morals, Artemis remembered the very book on black magic in which she found a way to turn Raphael into a vampire. There were a lot of interesting things there, including forbidden death spells. She never resorted to them, but they were always safely stored in her head.
Knowing that she would have to sacrifice her life anyway to allow Thea to return her body, she did not worry about the consequences of using these spells, and therefore successfully tested them on ogres and bliars – they did not have the slightest chance of salvation.
They had been making their way through the crowd for a long time, but there was still no end or edge to the glare ahead. It was monstrous. Fortunately, there were significantly fewer ogres.
How many experiments has Lillian conducted?
Moreover, she has achieved consistently good results, bringing out of the stupid creatures those who will consciously give their lives for her. There were an incredible number of them.
