"What are you doing here?" Purple asked, her bubbly personality disappeared all of a sudden, as her expression turned serious. "You shouldn't be able to co into this place."
This library had been protected by her spell, so the devils shouldn't be able to co, yet here she was, standing with her annoying smirk on her face, right before their eyes.
"Why can't I co here?" Beelzebub raised her eyebrows. "Oh, because of the spell?" she said in a mocking tone and then giggled rrily. "We should thank the guardian angels for that… because if it was not for their blood, indeed, we will not be able to step in."
Kace put Hope behind his back, he knew sothing like this would happen when those devils managed to obtain the guardian angels' blood. It could increase their power as well as help them resurrect a lot of dark creatures from hell.
Just like how those guardian angels' blood was needed during the first war. Jedrek used those guardian angels to increase their strength too, ignoring the fact that they had been depleted of their energy by their father's endless sapping, extraction of their blood caused them to die.
"Or, accomplish those things…" Beelzebub wiggled her eyebrows and nodded at the big window beside her.
Out of instinct, the three of them looked toward the sa point where the devil was looking at.
At first there was nothing strange that could make them go on alert. The afternoon sky was still as dark as of a night's, the chilling wind still blew and rattled the branches of the trees, the empty yard could be seen from where they were standing.
And then they heard a series of loud explosion sounds of tal colliding with tal which shook the earth.
This sound alone forced them to be on alert, especially when they couldn't see where that sound was coming from, but then… there was a bright light in the dark sky.
They thought it was lightening accompanied with a roaring thunder, but then they saw what exactly caused the ear-piercing sound from earlier. It was because two planes collided before their heavy materials plunged to the ground at jet speed, followed by another explosion sound.
The area where the two planes crashed was a densely populated area. Needless to say there would be hundred thousands of people who would die because of the crash.
"What a beautiful scenery…" Beelzebub sighed pleasantly when she watched how the explosion shook the ground and the dark smoke that started to rise into the air from where the plane had crashed.
However, it was not the end of it, as sothing more dreadful would happen soon. It was almost like the hell had been brought upon this world.
Above them the phoenix spread its beautiful wings and let out another cry which shattered the glass.
==============
"You ran away from the battle," Ethan accused the dragon lord before his eyes, he could guess it right even when he was in his current state.
Because the last thing that Ethan could rember was seeing his own twin being mauled limb by limb by those beasts, and he couldn't do anything to save Ian but witness that grueso scene helplessly heartbroken.
The sight of him being killed would never leave his mory and he could still hear his twin's ear-piercing screams echoing in his now aching head.
If it was not because he was too slow and Ian didn't need to go back and check on him, he would have lived.
His twin brother was worried about him, that was the reason why he lost his focus and made a reckless move.
However, above all the facts, it wasn't hard to understand that those dragon shifters had run away from the castle that ignited Ethan fury.
This anger ca from his frustration and the need to bla his regret upon the death of Ian on soone else.
"Why did you leave the castle!?" Ethan yelled. "You could have helped us! You could have helped them!"
As long as Ethan could rember, there were two hundred fire dragon shifters who ca with Lord Bayle. They could help them to decrease the casualties of the battle.
However, instead of helping them, those creatures chose to escape like cowards!
"What can our people do?" Lord Bayle opened his arms and looked at Ethan, while tilting his head, as if he didn't really care about the death of those people. "We can't shift into our beasts, thanks to the Donovans." He smirked, as if he had won this arguntation and managed to seal Ethan's mouth successfully.
The dragon shifters were indeed not allowed to shift into their beasts because of the vow that they made centuries ago, as a punishnt for their betrayal during the first war.
There were only two occasions when they could shift, and of course, those two precious situations didn't include the battle earlier.
"Or, maybe you don't know about this and I have to educate you?" Lord Bayle crouched down and talked to Ethan casually, as though the young boy wasn??t staring daggers at him. "I am not a hero, but I am not a fool too. The dragon shifters will not involve ourselves in a battle that we can't win."
"So, you chose to act like a coward?" Ethan breathed heavily. He was curious, why would he feel utterly exhausted, even though he was only talking.
"You don't need to look at like that. I am not your enemy. Your enemy is the devil, who had killed your family…" he said sinisterly.
Upon the ntion of his family, Ethan rembered his other family mbers. They must have felt the pain because of Ian's death. But, where were they now?
As though Lord Bayle could understand what kind of emotion was flashed in the young boy's eyes, he chuckled knowingly.
"You don't need to worry, we will help you to find your sister." Lord Bayle helped Ethan to sit down before leaning his weak body against the wall behind him.
"My sister? Where is she?" Ian squinted his eyes.
"She and that little girl along with a baby are roaming around inside a forest." Lord Bayle kindly told him. "I will help you, but I want you to do a favor too."
"What is it?" Ethan asked sharply.
