Iris had enough, she knew where Abby and Cedric came from, because she would stand against the world for Cane if she were on her shoes.
But unfortunately, Iris was not Abby and she had her own situation and responsibility, she had people that she needed to protect too.
Iris could understand what Abby felt, but they walked in different path.
"Move!" Iris snapped at Cedric. Even though the warrior tried to protect Abby and Liam, he was still her protector and just like when she called for them to prevent calamity from happening, they needed to answer to her.
Only her.
Therefore, when Iris ordered him to move away, Cedric couldn’t deny the direct order, he moved aside and Abby was ready to take Iris, even though she knew her power was not on par with the luna.
However, Iris’s aim was not her. Her aim was obvious. It was Liam, who stood behind Abby.
Iris canceled Abby’s magic, even before she could use it and knocked her to the side to deal with Liam directly, her eyes filled with aloofness.
"No! Please! Don’t!" Abby begged Iris not to kill Liam. She knew Iris would be able to do so. "No! Please! Please!"
Liam had not yet met their baby. He had not yet met their first child. They had not yet said goodbye. Abby didn’t even remember what the last thing she said to him.
She was in so much pain at that time and Liam went away to look for Grace, to find someone to help her, but he had never returned.
Liam had never returned.
Even now, the man in front of her was not him.
Abby had lost him forever, but she still couldn’t bring herself to see him being killed right before her eyes. How she could muster the courage to watch the father of her child being killed and vanished?
Abby jumped in front of Iris and this forced her to stop her attack.
"Move away, Abby," Iris said coldly, unfortunately, she couldn’t order her like she did to her protectors.
"No..." Abby whimpered.
However, she gasped in shock when Liam’s blade pierced through her left shoulder. Iris immediately used her black wisp to separate Abby from Liam’s blade and caught her body, while her three protectors immediately got to Liam.
Jace and Ethan stood by her side.
Thankfully, Liam stabbed her on the shoulder and despite the injury looked a little bit scary, but actually it was not life threatening. Iris could heal it just fine, but there was one thing that she couldn’t heal.
Probably there was nothing that could heal Abby from the sight that she was seeing right now.
Abby watched how Zale took the lead with Cedric and Cezi pinned down Liam, his sword had been thrown away, being cut off along with his right arm.
The three of them killed Liam by using divine power. His undying body was being purged.
Under the moonlight, the lifeless expression on his face disappeared, blown away by the wind in this Lucentsand desert. His body turned into ashes and faded away.
Liam was gone. He was really gone now. There was no saving him. His soul had been destroyed by Rei, tainted and there was nothing they could do to get him back.
But his spirit...
