Chapter 12 Chapter twelve
Selah ran out of the dungeon with all her strength. But on getting to the gate, it was sealed tight. She tried reaching for the padlock, but there was none. Then how come the gate was sealed so tightly? Finally she figured it out…Rexy! He has obviously found them.
Without thinking, she ran back and rammed her body straight into the gate but it didn't bulge. She grunted in frustration and kicked it with her leg before it flew open.
Meanwhile, Rexy flew downstairs to finish Reno up completely. He pulled him up by his hair and dealt him several blows on his tummy. “ I guess you used the divine healing ability to rescue the princess. But thank you because it makes it easier for me to get it” Rexy said and flew upstairs to grab Emma.
“No..” Reno said weakly. But as Rexy got to the room, Emma was no longer on the bed. He grew furious because its only a matter of time before Reno heals completely. He began to crazily search the room until he felt another demonic scent within the room.
He flipped over the bed with one hand and there was selah crotching over Emma. “Beautiful Selah, it's nice to meet you again but it's time to hand over the girl.” He said but she didn't reply and held Emma more tightly.
Impatient, he pushed her away from Emma but on seeing her pretty face, lust grew within him. He grabbed her wrist and dragged her along with him away from Emma. He pulled both of them down the passage. But at the door, he met Reno standing there his eyes replaced with blazing embers of fire.
“Let go of them right now!” He roared but Rexy just laughed mockingly. “I can just disappear with both of them right now and there's nothing you can do about it” he mocked. “You'll have to get through me first…!” With a roar, he charged at him but he was shoved back with a blast of energy from Rexy flying back and hitting the wall with force leaving a deep dent.
“You're so pathetic but you love doing more than you suppose to. Go back to my ex father and tell him I've taken the princess and sooner, hell will be divided. Let's see who come begging then” he mocked and tried disappearing but it was impossible.
He turned back to see Reno holding something up In the air. “I have an offer for you “brother”. Drop them both and I'll return your disappearing ability” Reno said smugly. “You fool..!” Rexy shouted and charged at him but he just disappeared and appeared in another corner of the room. “Your time is ticking” Reno mocked.
“Watch out.!” Selah suddenly shouted but it was too late. He was knocked to the ground by liriah from behind and the disappearing ability fell from his hand. Rexy quickly picked it up and absorbed it back.
“Looks like you still haven't learnt how to respect your elders” liriah said and stomped hard on Reno lying on the floor. “Liriah and rexy, watch what you're doing to the crowned prince. This will bring severe consequences from hell upon us” Selah shouted desperately.
“You little, promiscuous bitch..! What gave you the boldness to speak to me in such a way?” Liriah shouted and sent a ball of flame at her. Selah screamed in pain as it struck her on the chest. She fell to the ground and collapsed from the overwhelming effect.
“Then about you little nephew. You're going with us” she said and tried binding him, but he resisted and disappeared with so much effort. “Still have the energy to play cat and mouse games. Huh! Well I don't need you so much anyways, when the ancient alter is awakened, I'll be more powerful than even the devil himself..” Rexy smirked.
“But you know that is an ancient myth right? What gives you the full confidence that it will work out?” Reno asked calmly appearing behind them. “Ancient myth or not. We're going to do it and gain the powers.!” Liriah shouted.
“Wait.. you're just trying to buy time aren't you?” Rexy asked seeing right through his plot. Reno laughed
“Since you have known why still playing along?”
Rexy didn't reply and tried disappearing with Emma and selah but a powerful force struck him right back to the ground. “Hahahaha…” Reno laughed hard and picked up Rexy by his hair dealing several blows on his face until it was blotchy and bloody.
Meanwhile, liriah grew panicked when she realized Reno had been fooling them all along. “That foolish Rexy.. if he had just dragged only Emma we'll have been long gone. But no, he must take a beautiful girl with him. I must find away to save myself quickly before Reno descends on me” liriah thought and tried sneaking away but her cloak was immediately caught from behind.
“Well hello there aunty. Why trying to sneak out? I thought you said were going to teach me respect?” He asked mockingly and with little effort, he picked her up and crashed her hard on the floor leaving behind a huge dent.
She winced in pain. Not wanting to waste time any longer because his energy was running out, he quickly picked up Selah and went closer to Rexy to pick Emma. Seeing his chance, Rexy delivered a huge blow on the deepest wound on Reno's body. He fell down immediately. Seeing their chance, the bind him up with the divine chain which was Rexy's gift as the former heir apparent.
But as they tried to leave, a blinding blast of light busted out from Emma's body flying everyone and everything around her backwards about thirty meters away.
"What's... what's going on?" Liriah stammered wide eyed in horror.
"The spirit of light is here...! The guardian of light. Who summoned it?" Rexy asked fearfully and quickly bowed down to the approaching figure stepping out of the light.
"From what I heard, only it's master can summon it and it is very dangerous" liriah replied her suspicion beginning to grow.
"Wait.! Could it be..... No way.!"
