Alex continued dodging Dinah's ferocious attacks. With Abi in his arms, Alex could do nothing but dodge, making sure that Dinah's fire will never touch his wife.
"Alex!" Abi called him, but Alex couldn't even look at his wife. He can't afford to get distracted even for a moment. He wouldn't mind playing with the dragon's fire, but it was completely different when his wife was in his arms. He can't be reckless anymore. He can't even attack.
"I'm listening." He could only reply, his gaze burning as his focus remained fixated on the dragon's attacks.
"Zeke's speaking with me!" Abi told him, and Alex hissed under his breath. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
"Zeke? Where the f.u.c.k is he?" he cursed, frustration evident in his voice. "What is he saying?" he then asked as he dodged another fireball, causing Abi to yelp in surprise because of Alex's sudden and utterly fast movement.
But she quickly gathered her wits, and her grip on Alex tightened as she spoke. "He said he found an exit!"
"Where?"
"He said I must order Zeres to break the ceiling to make a hole."
She saw Alex's brows creased. "We can't do that!" he said as he dodged another series of attacks. "The cavern will collapse and bury everyone if Zeres break it by force. The ceiling is thick! And we can't let that woman get out of this abyss, or it'll be harder to restrain her." Alex explained. Abi looked down and saw that the abyss was slowly being devoured by nothing but fire.
And she could see their comrades still down there. There was no escape for them. Vampires don't have wings to fly. They could leap, but the ceiling was too high, and they were all battered and weakened to their knees.
"He said it's okay," Abi answered. "He said there's an ideal spot at the left side of the ceiling that Zeres could break. He said the ceiling wouldn't collapse if Zeres will go for that spot. It's that spot where his voice is coming from." Abi pointed not at the center of the ceiling but the ceiling's far left side.
Alex had just glanced at where Abi was pointing when Dinah almost got them with her massive wings.
"F*ck." Alex cursed. Knowing that they had no choice, Alex could only agree before even seeing the spot Abi was talking about. "Okay, call Zeres now!"
With Alex's approval, Abi didn't hesitate anymore and she closed her eyes. It didn't take long for her to be able to speak with the dragon. And while speaking with Zeres, Abi heard Alicia's voice. She's alive!
A moment later, Zeres emerged from the burning cavern. Abigail never heard Zeres' voice, but the dragon was listening to her call without hesitation.
