Chapter 204: All hell loose

(Back in the fox tribe)

After the sudden disappearance of Lyra, Kyrell frantically started to search the entire place. Time passed but he didn’t even catch a glimpse of her. As a last resort, he turned into his beast form and left the fox tribe to search for her outside.

And by now, the fairy bane had lost its potency, and everyone who was paralyzed started to regain their strength. This served as a nightmare to the strays because all of the immortal beastmen who were quiet till now began to go on a rampage.

The city guards were discreet enough to move away from the battlefield allowing the immortal beastmen to attack their opponents. Noah asked everyone including other tribes’ kings and queens to leave the fox tribe through the back gates. Getting caught up with immortal beastmen now would cost all of their lives. But amidst all these, he didn’t fail to notice the absence of his beloved mate. He got nervous at first but when he didn’t find Kyrell anywhere in the crowd, he assumed that the eagle king must have taken his mate somewhere safe.

Lucas was the same. He too guessed that his mate must have left with Kyrell. There were still traces of Kyrell’s magic on the battlefield so it was easy for him to know that Kyrell was not affected by that white smoke. And as long as his mate was safe. he could concentrate here on keeping his tribe protected. Maybe that too was unnecessary because the strays were getting annihilated by immortal beastmen. He just hoped that their bloodlust would subdue after this massacre or else others here might fall in danger.

After moving all of the females out of the fox tribe through the back gates, only the kings of each tribe and city guards remained inside. This was because they had to face the immortal beastmen if something went awry.

Blake curled his giant tail around the stray beastmen and squeezed them until blood splurted out staining the soil. On the other side, Victor picked up the enemies with his sharp beak before dropping them on the hard ground. Demir used his poison to torture the strays and later killed them.

By now, the leader of the stray beasts and his companions regretted their decision in coming to the fox tribe. It was hasty of them to come to a place filled with King beastmen who were also immortal. They trusted the Black wolf tribe’s princess too much. Her coaxing and confidence managed to get through their head making them go toward their own doom.

"Retreat now!" he shouted in desperation. This was the last act they could do if they wanted to stay alive. There was no other option left than running away.

The stray beastmen who were still fighting on the battlefield started to take steps away from the fox tribe. They could see the immortal beastmen trying to control their powers. If not for that, then they would have been dead by now. So before it was too late, they needed to flee.

Without having any other choice left, some of the powerful stray beastmen formed a barrier using their body that separated their comrades from their opponents. This served as a chance for the strays beyond the body barrier to exit the fox tribe. But the ones that stood in front brutally got killed while saving their comrades.

’Slash’ ’Crack’ The sound of bodies getting torn apart and bones breaking filled the entire space. Blood spilled everywhere on the ground replacing the brown soil with red. Even the clouds in the sky encompassed the moon preventing any moonlight from falling on the ground. The special night of the coronation banquet turned gloomy and murky.

Everything reeked of death and destruction. Meanwhile, the immortal beastmen who were fighting till now stopped when there were no enemies left on the battlefield. They were having a hard time suppressing their bloodlust. Their inner beasts craved more blood but they were craving something else even more than that. And it was their mate!

All of them shifted into their beastmen forms. It helped them in keeping their cool if they were in this form.

Blake clenched and unclenched his fists trying to regain his composure. It was always difficult for him to get back to normal once he started hunting. In this case, he had just finished his hunt for blood. The only person who could make him calm right now was his mate. He wanted nothing but her. To hug her soft and warm body and inhale her soothing fragrance.

On the other side, Victor too shifted back to his beastman form. He lazily swept his ash-grey colored hair from his forehead and narrowed his sharp silver eyes. His gaze searched for his sweet girl amongst the crowd gathering on the side of the fox tribe. The patience he was hardly holding in started to tick off when he didn’t find her.

Demir likewise shifted back to his beastman form. Thankfully his poison didn’t go out of his control today. His training for the past few months seemed to have paid back. Then he took a deep breath before muttering, "Sunshine" Nothing more mattered to him now but his beloved. He wanted to embrace her tightly and bury his face into her bosom.

Three of them started to search for her with desperate gazes. They resembled lost men in the desert that were trying to find their oasis. They were nothing like the strongest beastmen that were fighting a horde of strays just a moment ago. Now they were just hopeless men trying to find their only solace and love.

But no matter how much they searched, they found nothing. There was no trace of her golden blond hair amongst the crowd.

"Where....?" Victor just opened his mouth to question Lucas and Noah but came to halt when fluttering golden wings obstructed his vision. A familiar face greeted him but the look on that face was unfamiliar to him. Kyrell never looked so lost and.... Scared? No, he was sure that the eagle king was not scared of someone. It was more like the latter was scared after losing someone and Victor was pushing away all the negative thoughts that were starting to invade his mind.

"Where is Lilly?" Blake asked in an eerily calm voice. There were no fluctuations in his tone but that could drastically change if Kyrell answered wrong.

"Speak!" Demir demanded while glaring at the eagle beastman, "Or should I make you?"

Kyrell lowered his head in defeat. It didn’t matter to him even if they killed him right now. He failed to keep her safe and death was just a small punishment for him. With great difficulty, he parted his lips saying, "Lyra is not here. Someone took her away"

And that broke all hell loose.
