Chapter 379 - Her Fiery Golden Yellow Eyes
Isidorus, Mihr and other Mozias turned sharply as they took their wands out to attack the person behind them but as soon they turned, they were stunned to see their Queen.
Adrianna was standing behind them, her golden eyes blazing like fire and her aura looking so dangerous that they could feel the danger under their skin. Dmitri smiled and went to his Adrianna as all the others looked at the two of them with astonishment. The Mozia who was with Dmitri was not there.
Mihr was so stunned that words that were formed in his brain couldn't find an outlet. He mumbled gibberish, "Adr- Q- Queen, m- my queen… b- but I saw you in the c- cage-"
"What you saw in the cage was just a deception I had created for Vikra and the neotides," she replied nonchalantly.
"But Vikra mentioned that he had created an illusion for you in the cage…" said Isidorus feeling mystified by Adrianna's presence. At that point of time it was impossible to fathom the dark powers this girl in front of him had. He shuddered to think that if Adrianna were their adversary, what would have been the situation. "When did Dmitri help you in releasing from captivity?" he asked. "Also, if that was an illusion, where is Pierre? Is he still in the cage fighting with you?"
Adrianna smiled and said, "Pierre is with the Mozia, destroying the caves where Vikra's artillery is manufactured."
Mihr was stunned into silence along with the Mozias standing with him. Just a few minutes back they had come from the arena where they were witnessing the fight between two strong werewolves and now one of them was there in front of them. How could that be possible, and that too in the land of Vikra where all magic was under his scanner? Was Adrianna that powerful that she could successfully practice magic without detection? Did she create an illusion within an illusion? It was so confusing for the minds of great wizards like Mihr, Isidorus and the three Mozias that they were totally blank-faced.
"Right now I need you all over here!" said Adrianna looking at their confused faces. There was no time for explanation and she started instructing them.
"Mihr, go outside this territory now and launch attack."
"Isidorus, I want you to destroy Vikra's cave."
"Dmitri and myself will destroy the caves and dungeons where they are building their weapons."
Then she looked at the Mozias and said, "Two of you will accompany Isidorus while one of you will come with me."
All of them snapped out of their confusion after the instructions were given. Without thinking twice, Mihr got sucked in a vortex. He went outside where the armies were ready for attack and ordered all of them to attack simultaneously. As if waiting for those orders, werewolves and the wizards launched an attack on the neotides immediately. They broke the boundaries with vengeance.
The neotides who were present on the periphery of Vikra's land were taken by surprise. Even though thousands of them were guarding it, the surprise attack was a shocker. Their weapons weren't ready. They had to be supplied. The werewolves took advantage of that fact and started killing the weak neotides easily. A single pureblooded werewolf was equal to a hundred of neotides. Unstoppable massacre started and soon the battlefield turned gory.
Vikra had gone to the place where the blast had occurred to assess the damage. That was the most important unit weapon manufacturing. He had thought that he would contain the damage easily just like last time but when he reached there and saw the extent of damage, he was outraged. The entire unit was burning into flames. There was not a sign that weapons were even manufactured over there. It was all gone. Bodies of neotides and several other beasts were lying littered everywhere as a stench of burnt flesh and fumes filled the air.
This couldn't be a simple malfunction in the unit. This had to be some sort of attack. But who could it be? Had an intruder come into his land? Did Vikra get someone with him? Was it Dmitri? Thinking that Vikra hissed. He looked extremely dangerous.
Alarmed that an intruder had entered, he turned his broom immediately in the direction of the second unit to save it and as he had anticipated, he saw Dmitri and two Mozias destroying everything that came in their way. They were killing, slashing, throwing spells and damaging the cave and the weapons. Angered beyond words, he flicked his hand in the air and a sword appeared that shined and looked like it needed the blood of those who were destroying his property.
He hissed and alighted his broom. Airborne, first he slowly went towards them and then warned them, "You dare to destroy the land of Vikraaaa!" Suddenly, a whirlwind was created around him.
Dmitri and Mozias stopped and looked in his direction but all they could see was dangerous tornado like dark winds that were coming towards them at a great speed. Once in a while a silver sword would shine in between those black winds. Within split seconds the chaotic winds was a few feet away from them. The three of them were wide eyed and stood frozen over there when suddenly the winds cleared and Vikra appeared from within.
Vikra brandished his sword up in the air and brought it down to slice the men in front of him when unexpectedly, another sword came and stopped him from the side. The force of the sword that had stopped the great wizard Vikra's sword in action was so much that Vikra lost his balance and staggered back. He looked up with shock to see who had the courage to challenge him. His mind went numb when he saw Adrianna standing above the ground in the air, looking down upon him with her fiery golden yellow eyes.
"How dare you think of harming my mate?" she said in a dangerous low voice.
Vikra balanced himself and looked up. He was frozen to the spot. Was Adrianna really there or was he hallucinating? How could she come out of the cage? He had created the perfect illusion for her to capture her. She was supposed to stay as a rogue wolf in the full moon, then how come she came out of her trap? When he left them, it was impossible for Isidoris and Mihr to even touch the cage to reverse the spell, so what went wrong? How did she become free?
While so many questions were bouncing around his head, he gaze went around the entire cave. There were small blasts occurring everywhere and blue flames that threatened to turn big anytime were coming out of the pits, bodies of neotides were lying scattered with their limbs ripped apart and in front of Adrianna was standing amidst all the chaos with a sword that looked as threatening as her persona. With her dark hair falling down to her waist and all the beauty nature could gift her, Vikra was awed looking at her.
Nothing fitted. His emotions for her and his vengeance for her.
On a quick thinking he came out of his confusion and rushed forward to attack Adrianna.
