BXBX NOVEL Chapter 139 - Vikra's Attack (6)
Through the portal Howard had created, Ed, along with some werewolves and witches, were able to safely leave. In the end, only Dmitri, Adrianna, Liam, Fleur, Howard, and three other werewolves were left.
Adrianna growled at Dmitri, "Go through that portal while I am still able to hold this down."
He refused, "No Adri, I will stay with you."
She looked at the others but none of them agreed to go.
Howard understood that her energy was depleting. He realized that they would be able to go only until while Adrianna is inside the circle, but for how long would she be able to maintain it? Moreover, the moment the circle breaks, the neotides would attack them. It was a very strange situation – they could not leave Adrianna but they were also aware that Adrianna could never enter the portal under this situation.
"Adrianna, stop!" shouted Howard. "It\'s of no use now. We have to fight the neotides."
In a split second, she understood the meaning of his request and brought herself to stop the flow of energy within her. The circle started fading and the neotides immediately started entering. Adrianna was feeling extremely tired. She staggered a little and Dmitri ran to hold her. He held her in his arms tightly as like how someone would hold their most precious thing. She fainted and a feeling of despair enveloped him. He looked at Howard. They needed to create that portal now, but they were afraid that the neotides might enter the portal as well.
Fleur created the mist around them again. She pointed to Dmitri, telling him to run into the forest. Along with Liam and Fleur, Dmitri ran to the forest whilst carrying Adrianna in his arms. The neotides followed them in hordes, but with Fleur\'s spells, most of them collapsed even before they could touch them and the ones that deflected the spell were caught by Liam who would rip them apart. They must have run for only five minutes, when Fleur saw an opportunity to create a portal. She looked at Dmitri and shouted "Now!"
A round portal with thousands of flowers around it was created and Dmitri jumped into it with Adrianna in his arms, followed by Liam and Fleur. A neotide tried to enter it, but the portal closed on half of his body. He was cut into pieces automatically. Other neotides could only see the half of his body that hadn\'t entered the portal.
In the meanwhile, Vikra entered the fading circle as its intensity became weaker. He could only see one wizard and three werewolves fighting off the neotides.
Howad was finding it more and more difficult to hold back the sea of neotides that was never ending. The werewolves with him were also badly injured. When he saw Vikra nearing him, he was genuinely afraid. He sent a signal to all the wizards, who still hadn\'t left, to disappear immediately. In a moment, all of them were sucked into a vortex, leaving the neotides, who were fighting with them, baffled. It was as though one moment they were fighting them and the next moment there was nothing but thin air.
Vikra got closer to Howard and threw a "Napanuw!" spell at him to paralyze his muscles. Vikra wanted to capture Howard. Howard deflected the spell as he jumped over the werewolf right next to him. In the next second, Vikra saw that the wizard and the werewolf were sucked into a vortex. His anger had no bounds. He was so furious that he killed the two werewolves that were still left. All his plans had been foiled just like that.
He ordered the neotides to retreat. He had a lot of punishments to give out. He looked at Reese.
When Fleur closed the portal, she saw that half of the body of the neotide who had followed them had been thrown inside the wizard kingdom. Appalled by the sight, she threw a spell to burn it and, within minutes, it was charred beyond recognition.
Dmitri and Liam found themselves atop a hill that was lush green with vegetation all around it. There was a light breeze blowing around them. Liam circled Fleur\'s shoulders as Dmitri tightened his hold on Adrianna. They had arrived at the second realm.
Fleur understood that Adrianna needed immediate care. On an impulse, she pressed the leaf in her hand and, within minutes, ten witches came and surrounded them.
"Where is the queen?" one of them asked.
Fleur pointed her chin to Adrianna who was still unconscious and within Dmitri\'s arms. The witches circled the two of them. They got down from their brooms and knelt on the ground to show their regards for the queen.
Moments later, a carriage appeared in the air with two huge blue colored parrots reined to it. Dmitri and Liam looked around with surprise in their eyes as the witches asked them to enter the carriage with their queen. As soon as the three of them entered, the parrots flew away, pulling the carriage behind them. Liam noticed from outside of the carriage\'s window that Fleur was flying next to them with the witches.
