"Lu?" Iris lifted her head, she became even more restless and stared at the clear sky. From where she was sitting, it was hard to see what happened deep inside the pack.
Feeling anxious, Iris asked Aliana and Ethan to help her to get into Lil Thing’s back.
"Are you sure, you are going now, luna?" Aliana looked a little bit uncomfortable, she wanted to coax her to stay a little bit more, but seeing how determined the luna was, she knew it was only a waste of breath.
"Yes, Aliana. I don’t feel good. Something is going on there..." Iris stared at the entrance of the pack, she was restless. If Lou or Jace already found Cane, they must have taken him here, right? Or maybe, Cane was caught up with something? Or maybe, she was only overthinking things.
Whatever it was, Iris couldn’t stay for a second longer.
"There is no point to stop her," Ethan said and glanced at Zale. "If I told you to stay, will you listen?"
"No." Zale didn’t even hesitated.
Hearing that Aliana chuckled. "There is no point to stop him," she quoted what he said and Ethan looked at her sulkily. Both of them shifted into their beasts, followed by Zale.
Iris was right, her restless heart turned into an ominous feeling the deeper she went into the pack.
The sight of her and Lil Thing caught everyone’s attention, most of the warriors in their beast form tailed behind her, running alongside Ethan, Aliana and Zale.
While one beast led the way, running in front of Lil Thing. The beast took them to where a vicious battle was happening between the lycan against Decratic, Zeke and Dexter.
Iris’s face hardened to see what Decratic was going to do. It was hard to see it clearly, but she knew the little boy was Decratic, there was no mistaken of this ominous feeling that came from him.
And right now, he was going to extract Lu’s soul from Cane. Flashes of memories appeared before Iris’s eyes, reminded her of what happened to Haco when Lu’s soul left him.
How Haco slowly forgot about his surroundings, about himself and how he was struggling in the last few weeks before he passed. It took him a year before he passed away, as his health deteriorated rapidly.
The same thing obviously would happen to Cane if Decratic managed to get Lu’s soul out of his body.
However, it was not only Lu’s soul that was being extracted, Iris could see the bright light from the sixth sword. The sword that Na left on Lu, the sword that contain with her purest divine power, it was being extracted too.
"Is that supposed to be the sword?" Elder Rose narrowed her eyes at the sliver of bright light that was engulfed by the dark wisp of Lu’s soul. "How it supposed to be the sword?"
Right now, the sixth sword was not in the shape of a sword like what the knights told the elders. It was like a sliver of light, like a white thread on a black wool.
In that case, how elder Rose supposed to wield it?
"The knights said, luna Iris wielded it when she fought the dragon on the lycan’s back," Elder Dandolf reminded them about this part.
"That’s it. You need to wield it," Elder Xarex concluded. "I will create a path for you to grab the sword after that channeled your divine power to the sword and stab Decratic in the heart. He is already so weak after the battle with the luna."
"What if the sliver light didn’t change into sword?" Elder Rania argued.
"There is no time for being doubtful," Elder Rose cut her off. "I am going to do it."
"The problem is with the miasma." Elder Rania reminded them of their other problem. Thankfully, she knew this was the poisonous miasma and laced the protection, so they wouldn’t breath in it."
"Hold your breath and create your own protection. It will help," Elder Xarex said.
And that was what they agreed upon. They were going to take this matter into their own hand and started to make their move when they saw Decratic’s focus was to devour the lycan’s soul.
"Now!" Elder Xarex roared and the four of them started to move.
Elder Xarex dealt with Zeke, while Elder Dandolf took Dexter, while Elder Rania helped Elder Rose to get close to Decratic and reach for the sixth sword.
They moved almost at the same time and charged toward their respective target.
Sensing the disturbance, Decratic roared angrily. He was only a step away from devouring Lu’s soul, but elder Rania attacked him and Elder Rose moved past him to grab the sliver light, threw herself into the darkness of Lu’s soul, which made her blind for a moment, leaving only that thread of light to guide her.
"No. I can’t leave." Cane was still there and he was in a grief danger, how could she leave. Right now, she was trying to think of a way to break into this invisible barrier. She didn’t think she would make it if she forcefully barged in and Lil Thing already felt uncomfortable and wanted to leave. Obviously with her current condition, she couldn’t do it herself. freёwebnovel.com
