The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter
Chapter 855: WAS IT REALLY OVER?

Chapter 855: WAS IT REALLY OVER?

Iris felt her body was being pressed from all sides and the air knocked out of her lungs. This was a very uncomfortable sensation that forced her to close her eyes and gritted her teeth so she could endure it.

Thankfully, it didn’t last for long and when she opened her eyes, she was right beside Cane, or the lycan. The beast growled in low voice, but couldn’t move because of the poisonous miasma, the crack was right beside him and he breathed in it, since he couldn’t dodge it.

However, when the beast saw Iris, he tried to move and push her away, nuzzled her to move away and avoid the miasma. Iris could see the mortifying look in his red eyes.

"It’s okay, I will be fine," Iris said, she raised her hand and let the miasma soaked in her hand, and in no time, it was purified. She had seen this before and somehow knew that her divine power was able to handle it.

It almost like when she touched the black magic stone that Haco gave to her as a practice to control her power.

"See? I am fine...." Iris’s voice was soothing and very calm, she caressed the lycan’s fur and this made him less stressful. Yet, his eyes flickered to golden and then red, indicating Lu’s soul was almost sucked out of Cane’s body. "It’s okay. I will protect you now..."

Iris lifted her head and stared at the darkness above her head, the shadow of Lu’s soul, where she could see the sixth sword.

On the other hand, thing didn’t go well with the elders, they made a rash decision and didn’t think the consequences thoroughly. They underestimated the ancient creature like Decratic.

Because even when he was already weak right now, he was still the epitome of the darkness, reckless move could cost them more than they could pay for.

Decratic pushed elder Rania’s body to the ground and then caught her neck when she tried to disturb him. He was only a step away from devouring Lu’s soul, but this bitch delayed him. His anger reached the sky, as he snapped her neck and threw her lifeless body to the side. Strong and harsh wind cut her flesh, dyed her dress in red.

Seeing this, Elder Xarex and Elder Dandolf were stunned, they watched their fellow elder’s body flew in the air and then fell to the ground with a loud thud.

This distraction allowed Dexter and Zeke to deliver the blow and hurled them away as harsh wind cut their flesh and wounded them.

"Rose!" Elder Xarex roared, their only hope now rested on Elder Rose, but she had vanished into Lu’s dark soul to search for the sword and had not yet appeared again.

Elder Xarex and Elder Dandolf could only groan in pain and wait for Elder Rose to emerge from the shadow to end Decratic’s life.

Elder Rose needed to move quickly for this to work before Decratic devoured the lycan’s soul and regained his power.

However, the ground started shaking and the air became so heavy, it pressed them down and the red miasma swirled in the wind, which forced Elder Xarex to create a protection around him and Elder Dandolf.

"I will not be able to sustain the protection for long!" Elder Xarex groaned, he watched the shadow shifted and the howling wind became more vicious. More and more things threw in the wind, part of houses hurled in any direction.

They couldn’t see it clearly, but they could feel there were two powers that were fighting. Two powers that were very strong, something that they could never imagine such powerful thing existed in this realm.

The wind was shifting and the ground was shaking, more cracks on the surface appeared and more miasma polluted the atmosphere.

People could die if this continued. They could die because of this battle or slowly died because of the poisonous miasma.

"GET CLOSE! ALL CLOSE TOGETHER!" Lou shouted, instructed them to stick with one another because they needed to concentrate their protection barrier, since the miasma had spread widely. They should strengthen their protection and had to cover a large area wouldn’t help with that, thus they needed to get close.

All the magic users could feel there were two strong powers pulled at each other and they were right about that.

Iris was trying to get Lu’s soul back, while Decratic started to devour it, now without any disturbance from the elders, he thought he could get it easy, but he didn’t realize Iris was already there and she wouldn’t let go of the lycan, neither the lycan would go down easily.

This tug of powers between them was what the magic users felt. It was so strong, it was very suffocating, added to the poisonous miasma, thing didn’t seem would get better soon.

But then, suddenly the shadow of Lu’s soul was sucked back to the lycan, clearing the air, where you could see elder Rose was holding something in her hand and rushed toward Decratic once her feet touched the ground.

"That’s Rose!" Elder Dandolf was surprised to see her.

"And the sword," Elder Xarex remarked. The shape of the sword was not clear, but he assumed that was the sixth sword, what else Elder Rose would wield?

The two of them held their breathe without them knowing it, as they watched how everything unfolded very fast.

Elder Rose charged toward Decratic with a bright light in her hand and made a slashing movement. This was the crucial moment when she swung the sword and supposedly cut Decratic’s body in half.

However, it didn’t happen, the light just slashed through his body, but there was no damage that was done. The little boy was fine, if anything, you could feel his wrath.

Decratic then move so fast and knocked elder Rose to the ground, the same movement he did on elder Rania, but before he could snap elder Rose’s neck, Iris came to grab the light in elder Rose’s hand and stabbed Decratic right in his chest.

When Iris touched the light, the shape of it changed and it turned into a sword in her hand. The power in it resonated with her divine power, the energy matched perfectly and it made the sword powerful. The sixth sword recognized the owner and everyone there could see how well Iris wielded it when she drove the sword to Decratic’s chest.

Everything happened so fast, nobody could react to that in time, neither they expected thing would turn out like this. Even Elder Rose, who was very close to witness everything was frozen.

You could hear the howling sound came from his opened wound, like a mixed sound of banshee and a wounded animal. The sound was deafening and terrifying.

But from the wound, it was not blood that spilled out, but actually mud. Mud so thick that you could hear a loud thud when it fell on the ground.

"Arrghhh!!!" Elder Rose screeched when the mud fell on her body.

The sword in Iris’s hand vanished and she pulled Elder Rose away, as both of them watched what was happening to Decratic’s body.

Mud kept coming out from his body, until his little body fell to the ground and the same mud swallowed it, yet upon closer look, you would be able to notice that the mud didn’t stop.

Later on, they would realize that it’s expanded slowly.

Elder Rose took off her cloak and threw it away. The mud didn’t touch her and then immediately stood up. She glanced at Iris, but the luna didn’t even look her way and didn’t even ask whether she was alright or not. The luna’s eyes fixed on the mud.

"Luna, we need to get out of here, the poisonous miasma..." Elder Rose grabbed her hand, but Iris swatted her hand away harshly and threw a dagger look at her, which made the elder took a step back. For a moment, she was afraid of her.

As she should, after what the elders tried to pull on her mate.

"Scram!" Iris growled at her. If the elders were shifters, she would have squeezed their wolf spirit, giving them the pain they deserved. Fortunately for them, they were not.

After that, Iris went to the closest crack and purified the poisonous miasma.

However, when she was about to go to Dexter and Zeke, the two of them had escaped, they created a portal to leave, breaking down the invisible barrier that prevented the warriors, knights and the magic users from getting closer.

Everything had ended, right? Decratic had disappeared...

Iris didn’t feel relief. The pain on her thigh was still there, occasionally reminded her.

"This is it..." Elder Xarex stood up and approached Elder Rose and Iris, he looked flustered, grimacing in every movement because of the aftermath of the fight. Elder Dandolf followed behind him.

"Call healer! Call the healer!" Elder Rose shouted to the crowd when she approached Elder Rania, thinking she could be saved.

Meanwhile, Elder Xarex stared at the lycan’s body, a lot of things went through his mind right now. He was still trying to discern what had happened and grasped how things ended.

Was this really over?

"Don’t even think about it," Iris said viciously, her gaze was very sharp, it was enough to cut into her opponent’s heart.

Elder Xarex startled, he was snapped out of his own thought.

"Touch him and I will end your life right away. Don’t even think to get close to him." Iris was very cold.
