Chapter 626: Rising sun



Chapter 626: Rising sun

“No… this can’t be… It shouldn’t be now. We still had time…” was all Evie could mutter to herself. Her entire being was trembling now. Despair washed through her as she watched a tornado of darkness envelop her most beloved person right before her eyes. And there was nothing she could do to stop it.

Dark lightning began to fall all around them like rain, but Evie could not even bring herself to move. She felt that her heart and body had shattered at the same time. Everything was crumbling down – it was all going down the drain. She could not accept this. She refused to accept this.

“No!!!” the scream finally came out of her mouth. She curled forward in despair, both hands fisted and clutched at her chest.

A black lightning had struck right next to her, barely a foot away, making the ground tremble.

Still, she did not bother to move. A shadow came hurtling at her and grabbed her before moving away from the onslaught of the black lightning. It was Klauz.

“Let go of me.” her voice harder than steel as she said that to him, her hands pushing at his arms that were wrapped around her.

Klauz obeyed and let go of her. “No one can stop his awakening anymore, Light Queen.” he said. “And I don’t think you are ready to bring him down. Not with the way you are right now. You’re not strong enough –” though his tone was neutral, as though just stating the facts, Evie could not help but feel as though he was mocking her… mocking them both with his words. And that only caused her dissatisfaction and ire at the so-called fate to increase and burn hotter.

“Shut. Your. Mouth.” She snarled out. Her words that were spat out were so unlike her that Klauz stopped talking and held back whatever else he had wanted to say.

Her eyes were glowing like amber coloured hell fires when she turned back to look at him.

The glow of her body was returning – and it seemed to be coming back with a vengeance. This time, the magic that leaked out from her body was stronger. Much stronger than before. And she did not seem to be bothered to hold it back at all. The power she was exuding now seemed to have gone beyond what seemed to be possible.

Klauz could not talk back. Her gaze, her power… it had all but rendered him paralyzed. This woman… what in the Underworld was this? How could her powers increase with such unprecedented degree in just a few moments? Could it really be that the angrier she gets, the stronger she becomes? Was she the type that could turn her emotions into a trigger to further push her powers up?

With her power levels right now, Klauz could no longer maintain his statement saying that she was hopelessly overpowered. It was just unbelievable. It almost felt as though it was not only Gavrael who was undergoing an awakening right now… it was as if something so incredible was happening to this queen as well. As if she too, was going through her own awakening!

The aura of the light surrounding her was now blinding. So blinding that he found himself taking a couple of steps back from her, covering his eyes so that he would not be rendered sightless.

But when he saw her began to move forward, Klauz attempted to stop her. He thought that it was still too risky for her to approach him so simply like that. The wisest thing they should do right now was to retreat!

Though she was becoming stronger, Klauz still would not dare underestimate the King of Darkness. One wrong move and the Light Queen could die in his hands! He could not let her take such a risk.

“Don’t! Light Queen! Please don’t go!” he shouted, forcing his way closer to her despite her magic.

The Light Queen did not seem to be listening and continued approaching the storm of darkness with steady and determined steps.

Gnashing his teeth, Klauz pushed forward. “Light Queen!! If you approach him without a plan like this, his power could kill you! If not you, it could still harm your child!” He knew that this would be the last thing he could use to attempt at holding her back.

She halted after hearing his words.

Klauz was about to heave a sigh in relief, thinking that his attempt at distraction succeeded, when Evie suddenly materialised her wings and spread it out behind her. Her actions were so unexpected that Klauz was given no chance to react.

In the next second, she rose into the air, stopping only when she was right across that swirling mass of darkness.

She could still see him within that maelstrom. He looked as though he was in an extreme world of pain. The darkness continued pulsating, spreading out. She could see the outline of his veins now turning black as it crept and spread across his skin.

There was no denying it any longer. Whether she accepted it or not, this was his awakening.

‘Gav…’ she was calling his name in her mind.

Her broken heart felt like it was raining blood as she moved even closer.

“Fine…” she uttered in a broken voice. Tears began flowing down her cheeks. “I will listen to you Gav. I will listen to you…”

Then she spread her arms wide. As if responding to her call, lights gathered, swirling around her, creating another tornado in the area. Only that this was the opposite of that dark one.

Soon, a ball of light appeared in the sky. It was so bright that it almost looked like the sun was rising in the Under Lands. Still, the darkness coming from Gav was not able to be overpowered by her light.

The light kept getting bigger and brighter.

Evie who was in the middle of it, opened her eyes and looked straight towards her beloved.

“Gav…” she uttered once more, and tear drops fell like pearls from her eyes before her hands whipped forward.

A thick beam of light pierced through the viscous darkness and hit right at him. He looked back at her.

As the light exploded and enveloped him…

He smiled – one that is filled with relief and thankfulness. Then the amber crystal materialized around his figure, trapping him within. And with it, effectively stopping all fluctuations of dark magic around them.

The armies still at the training grounds who were forced to stay where they were because of their Lord’s command all looked up and watched the sky got coloured with a blinding light.

Somewhere in the dragon’s mountains, Gideon and Vera who were still busy training with the ice dragons turned their heads towards the light that had appeared from afar off.

“Evie…” Vera immediately uttered while Gideon slowly lifted his hand over his chest, clasping a fistful of his shirt as if his heart had started to ache.

The dark faes in the nearby duchy looked up as well. The ones inside their houses stepped out to take a look at the occurrence of that strange light.

At the camp near the abyss, Evie’s dragons began to wail.

King Belial, Queen Beatrice and everyone in the vicinity all turned their heads toward this same direction. Towards the light that was like a rising sun.
