Chapter 672: BLACK RAIN AND DARK SKY (14)

"What is bothering you, Abby?" Liam hugged her from behind and she leaned her back against his chest, feeling the comfort of his presence. If there was something good of having this title as the Serafim, it must be him.

Because of this damned title, she could meet with him and they could be together.

"She is... more powerful than me, Liam. I can feel it."

Liam immediately knew, who ’she’ Abby was referring to. "Nonsense. You are the Serafim, Abby. No people more powerful than you, not even the magic user and now the signs of the Decratic has slowly appeared, you are the Serafim, who is destined to end it."

Abby shook her head. Liam couldn’t understand what she meant, because he adamant to put her in pedestal when in truth, she was nothing, but the weakest Serafim alive, just like what those people said about her.

"No, Liam. It’s different. She is different."

"Because of the similarity between you two?"

That bothered Abby too, but there was more and when she told Liam about all of her doubt, he reacted as she had expected.

"You are the Serafim, no one else. You don’t need to think of such impossible thing to happen. There will be no two Serafims in this realm." Liam turned Abby’s body around and cupped her face. "She will be an impostor if she claimed herself as one and she will be punished for that."

Abby didn’t want to say anything anymore, she simply nodded and ended this topic, since it wouldn’t go anywhere and Liam couldn’t offer her solution.

"When the Holy Knights will arrive?" Abby asked. She had sent word to the ships to change direction. They would dock in the Crystal Moon pack, instead of the Winter Moon pack.

"They will arrive in a week and it will take another week to march here."

Abby nodded with the information. She wished, she would know how the Decratic looked like and ended things here smoothly.

However, the truth was not as easy as she planned it.

Because miles away, in the north of the continent, the king arrived in the Celestial Moon pack with his entourage.

Cezi and alpha Derick greeted the king and let him to occupy the west tower, like he had mentioned in his letter. Alan didn’t want to stay in the pack house, instead, he wanted to occupy the west tower, which was the furthest tower from the pack house and monster attack frequently happened there.

"I am sure your warriors will protect me from any monster attack," Decratic replied languidly. It started to get cold here and the gloomy clouds that loomed above their head added to the chill in the air.

"It is not safe there, my king," alpha Derick tried to persuade him, but Decratic simply walked away from him, ignored all the warning, which left alpha Derick bewildered. This was not the man that he knew.

Everyone in this continent knew how Alan was and how he loved his life more than anything. There was no way he would risk his life to stay in a dangerous place.

But then, alpha Derick could only oblige, since he was his king now.

"Perfect." Decratic oversaw the land beyond the fortress, where the monsters laid their nests. People in the Celestial Moon pack, not even their bravest warriors had ever ventured further than the fortress. "Zeke."

"Yes, my lord?"

Zeke approached Decratic. They were alone in the highest room in the west tower, where you could see everything from up here.

"Prepare the Asturi Stem. We will make a quick visit."

"Yes, my lord." With that, Zeke left to make the preparation.

The quick visit happened without anyone knowing it. All of the people assumed the king was in the west tower, resting for the rest of the day because of a long journey and didn’t want to be bothered.

However, the truth was; Decratic was miles away from the Celestial Moon pack with only his trusted worshipper, ventured deeper beyond the fortress of the pack, went further into the darkness of the Untouchable Land.

No one had ever gone this deep, aside from Zeke before this.

It was him, who had brought the Asturi Stem to a certain place, in the deepest of the Untouchable Land. The previous king, king Aeon, had been in constant need of Asturi Stem for a decade with the suggestion from lady Cyan, in order to keep the Celestial Moon pack in check and rendered them unable to make any move with the, seemingly, neverending attack from the monsters.

But, the Asturi Stem would end up in Zeke’s hand. He had been living in this part of continent, the part, where no one ever touched, feeding the monsters with dark magic and...

"Here... my lord." Zeke opened his arms, showing the path to Decratic.

They were in the valley and what Zeke showed to Decratic was a small path, where you could see stairs that would bring you down to the lower plains of the valley.

The more you went down, the hotter the atmosphere became, as if you went straight into a volcano, at the same time, you would hear a heavy breath that could shake the valley walls. They kept going down beside the steep valley sides.

Along with the heavy breath, as if there were thousand of horses dying, vaguely they could hear the stream of water the moment they arrived at the flat valley floor.

Something was moving in the dark, something big and scaly.

"I have taken care of it, in faith for your return. It will be ready at your service, my lord." Zeke knelt down in front of Decratic.

Decratic was a dark creature, his worshippers could control their opponent’s mind, but for him, he could do beyond that...

Once he regained his full power, his control was not limited to human and shifters alike... it was beyond that.

"Good job, Zeke. Good job."

=============================

"Home sweet home!" Lou was very satisfied after he met with all of his guildsmen. They arrived in the Moon Dew pack without any trouble and headed straight to the Black Market.

This place was Lou’s territory, so of course, he was more than happy to be back to his nest. The place where he could be fully in control, especially when he managed to get to wear his tacky red cloak again.

"Sit, Cane, sit!" Lou wriggled his leg, pointing at the sofa across from him with his toes, feeling wonderful and in control. "You don’t need to be awkward."

"Show me the way to the water magic stone mines," Cane said. He leaned his back against the walls, crossing his arms, watching the merchant was full of himself.

Lou scrunched his face unhappy. "Look. This is my place, you don’t have a say in it. And don’t even come closer to my mines. Don’t even think you can rob me twice."

It was a year ago when the first time, he was here with Iris and so much had changed since that day.

"I can find my way," Cane said, he didn’t feel like to be polite with Lou and he was in need of the magic stone.

"Don’t you dare!" Lou immediately got off the sofa and chased after Cane, who had walked out of the room.

The alpha was very sharp, even after a year, he still remembered his way to the water magic stone mines and Lou walked beside him begrudgingly, thinking Cane might lose his way.

However, there was one more thing that Cane couldn’t do, even when he could find the water magic stone.

The door.

"Hahahahahah!" Lou laughed happily when Cane stuck in front of the closed door. He wouldn’t be able to open it. Only magic users could do that, but if you didn’t know the spell, then it wouldn’t even move an inch. "Well, well, well. I think this is the end of your journey. What are you going to do now, alpha?" Lou leaned his back against the stone wall, amused himself with the sight of Cane, standing there, staring at the door.

"Open this door, Lou." Cane glanced at the merchant. "Open this door and make a portal for me to meet my mate."

Lou rolled his eyes. "And if I did not want to?"

Cane looked a little bit off, but what alarmed Lou was when he witnessed dark wisp emanated from his body, as if his own shadow had extended and had mind on its own.

"Heaven! What is that?! Arrghggh!" Lou covered his face when the shadow shaped and crystalized into something solid and pummeled the door. "What the hell?!"

It didn’t take long for the shadow to tear down the magic door, leaving a huge hole for Cane to enter.

"SHIT!" Lou immediately chased after Cane, he waved his hand to settle down the dust and debris that floated in the air. "What the hell is that, Cane?! Answer me!"

"There is no time," Cane said calmly, as he looked around this place. He remembered the spot where Iris pointed out there were many water magic stone. Though he didn’t know the exact spot, but he could start in the area she told him.

"Yes, there is no time! Pay me back for the door you have broken!" Lou was furious. "Do you know how expensive that was!? You will go bankrupt if you heard the price of it! Damn you, Cane!"

If in the past, Lou could only curse behind Cane’s back, now he could do it freely in front of him. It showed how much their relationship had grown after all those times together.

"For the love of God!" Lou shouted when he watched how Cane looked for the magic stone.

"You are not religious, Lou."

Lou ignored Cane’s comment. "What that ominous thing that you used?! Did you tangle yourself with some kind of black magic or something?! Heaven!"

Lou exclaimed when Cane used that thing like shadow to shatter a big chunk of rock in order to find the water magic stone. With his method, he managed to get three of the magic stone in no time and tossed it to Lou.

"Create the portal," Cane said.

Out of instinct, Lou caught his precious water magic stone and once again, he was being robbed right under his nose, without so much of explanation from the thief.

"I will not..."

"NOW!"

Startled, Lou did what he was told out of instinct. This alpha was even scarier than the Deadeyes and Vermeyes combined.

It was a command and Lou was made to oblige it.

He created the portal and Cane didn’t waste a second to enter, where the merchant followed him suit, but he immediately regretted his decision when he watched Cane strode toward Iris and kissed her without any warning, which took her by surprised also.

At first, Iris retaliated against him, but a second later when she realized who it was, she looked visibly relax and let Cane held her close to him.

Aliana was combing her hair when suddenly Cane came and pulled her up. Thankfully, Aliana was tactful enough to approach Lou and save the merchant from being crazy upon witnessing their passionate moment.

"Let’s go." Aliana tugged Lou’s arm to follow her out of the room. "Do you want to watch what they are going to do next?" She raised her brows when Lou tried to stay.

Hearing that, Lou grunted and growled angrily, he stomped out of the room when Cane started to carry Iris to the bed.

Damn it! Damn it!

Lou stormed out of the room and the seven warriors outside of the bedroom stared at the merchant in shocked. How he could come out from the bedroom when they didn’t see him come inside?

"Aliana! What is that?! How he could be there... wait." Eron frowned. "The alpha is inside?" They caught the alpha’s scent.
