Chapter 636 One hit kill
Klauz looked like he wanted to argue but he eventually nodded as he held his tongue and offered her his hand. Evie took it and in the next moment, he had flashed them back inside the dark cave.
"Tell me, how did Onyx end up getting trapped in here?" Evie asked him as they approached it.
"He had arrived in the Under Lands, oozing with dark magic that he was a literal dark magic generator. I managed to lure him over and trap him here using the ancient spells dark faes were using in the distant past to take control of the fire dragons during the era of wars between light and dark faes. But your dragon is just too powerful that I couldn't make him obey fully. And thus, I could only trap him knowing that he would soon break the chains of my barrier even though I have the most powerful prison barrier in the entire Under Lands."
"Drop the barrier, Klauz. Now." Evie ordered Klauz once she turned to look at Onyx who was bound by the barrier.
"But your Majesty! Are you certain he'll listen to you now? Don't forget that Gavrael had put in him all of Galleous' dark magic." Klauz reminded her, anxious that she might get hurt when Onyx got released from his restraints.
"Don't make me repeat myself, Klauz! I have faith in Onyx and in my own powers, so drop the barrier now." Evie said without any hint of doubt. Onyx had responded to her when she shouted out his name. That only means one thing, he had recognized her voice and that was enough for her to know that the dark magic is not controlling him fully. Onyx had been with her in her vision too. So she was certain that she would be safe with him.
Unable to refuse, Klauz could only do as she say and retracted his barrier.
A loud roar made the cavern tremble, but Evie did not even flinch. She approached the raging dragon and called his name once again. "Onyx!"
The dragon stopped roaring and slowly, he lowered his head towards her.
…
At the abyss, the ongoing battle was fierce. It was nothing everyone had ever seen nor experienced before. The first wave of monsters consisted of normal sized monsters, the ones with two mouths and about seven feet tall.
The soldiers managed to stop killing most of them and stopped them from advancing. However, chaos was quick to take over. The second wave of monsters came not long after and they were much stronger, more powerful and bigger than their first counterparts. They could be considered as giants and their skin were goddamned tough that even their magical weapons had a hard time piercing through.
"Look out!" Azrael had grabbed at Zolan and pulled him behind. "Stay put vampire, this one's mine." The dark fae lord catapulted up from the ground, his massive wings flapping majestically as he bravely attacked the massive monster head on.
Zolan watched the dark fae lord elusively avoiding the powerful swings of the monster's thick and disgusting arms. Then he appeared behind it and stabbed his sword into the back of its skull.
The scene made Zolan whistle in amazement. But it was too bad because he could not just stand still and keep watching the epic show from the side-lines. He needed to look out for his companions and the light faes as well. Were they able to keep up with this commotion? This was not the kind of war they were expecting nor were they familiar with. This was an all-out war!
He could see that even the dark faes were overwhelmed. It was obvious none of them expected the sudden surge of the monsters. And that the monsters were actually so much stronger and bigger than those that they were used too. Only the lords and generals were probably the only ones who could take down those giants without getting hurt. The average soldiers would at least have a fighting chance if more than five or more of them attack one giant all at once but, there were just too many of them! Not to mention that the quick and annoying smaller monsters which were not really small fries!
Looking up, Zolan saw that Zanya had started to command her dragons to attack. He also saw something bright at the far east side of their army. It seems Zanya had decided to spread the dragons out to aid others while she stayed within Azrael's army.
That was a good call. But still, three dragons would be far from enough. There were twelve armies surrounding the entire massive abyss. The eleven lords were leading each of their own armies while the twelfth, was led by the king himself.
The king might not need a dragon to aid his army, but the other lords certainly do need one each according to his calculations.
"Zolan!" he heard Leon's shout calling out for him from his side and he muttered out a curse seeing that another annoying monster was heading his way. "Can't you just give me a break, you ugly monster?! Let me do my job to observe the surrounding, will you? Damn disgusting monster!" He could only attack the monster head on as he continued mocking the monster.
A light fae at his right side saw him needing some aid and she used her magic to blind the monster, conveniently allowing Zolan to finally catch that break. Taking advantage of the momentary pause of the monster due to the sudden onslaught of blindness, Zolan pierced the monster's mouth with his sword, successfully killing it in one blow. YES! One hit kill!
But before he could even pull his sword out of the monster's mouth, he heard a shrill scream coming from his right side. The moment he turned to the source of the sound, he saw the light fae who had just helped him, was now clutched in another monster's hands, apparently just about to rip her apart, right through her midsection.
"No! Fuck!" his red eyes blazed and attacked the monster as fast as he could.
