Chapter 717: BLACK RAIN AND DARK SKY (59)

In this precarious situation, where they were facing life and death situation and seemingly there was no way out from the siege of monsters, it left Iris with only one option. She needed to subdue the monster and by doing so, she needed to purify the black magic that controlled them first.

Broke the control was not an easy task, because the last time she did it she lost her consciousness, but it was also due to her condition at that time, yet she was pregnant now and she was worried about their babies. Would this action harm them?

Still, this was their only chance.

Especially when they saw the crack on the protection that engulfed them. Once it was broken, they would be dead in a matter of second.

However, knowing what his mate was going to do, Cane stopped Iris in time and let out the black wisp emanated from his body, using the lycan’s strength to get them out from this hellish situation.

"SHIT!" Lou cursed. "What is that?!" He remembered that he had seen this before...

First it was Iris with her shocking power, but now it was Cane! He was a shifter, there was no way he would be able to use magic.

It didn’t take long for Lou to gather all the pieces he needed to make this conclusion, where he blurted it out, as he watched how this black wisp form a few tendrils, which sharp enough to cut the body of the Deadeyes and broke the siege of the goblins, wiped out these little monsters from their vicinity and kept them safe.

In five minutes, two dead bodies of Deadeyes laid lifelessly on the cold ground and the remaining goblins backed down, since they didn’t have enough number to attack. Black blood smeared on the white- covered- snow ground. Some blood stained their clothes.

"You are the lycan..." Lou whispered in shock when everything was done, he stared at Cane and then at Iris, she didn’t seem to be surprised to witness this. Of course, how fool he was to think she didn’t know. "You are that cursed creature."

Iris was mortified. Not because Cane let out the lycan’s power to save them from this predicament, neither she was fazed by the appalling sight before her eyes, but because of the fact, Lou learned Cane’s secret.

The black wisp disappeared, so did the monsters that surrounded them, but this still quietness made you uneasy.

What Cane was going to do? Would he kill Lou?

Right now, Cane was staring at the shocked merchant, his expression was devoid from any emotions and what was in his mind was the biggest mystery.

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

Aliana couldn’t find Cane and Iris, but she could see the portal that kept vomiting monsters, this area was covered by a lot of monsters! They wouldn’t be here. The alpha must have taken his mate to the safe place.

In this case, she needed to go to the shelter, where all the pack member sought for safety.

"What are you doing here?!" Ethan roared when he finally found Aliana. He just shifted into his human form, while behind him, Jace followed him closely in his beast form. "We need to get out of here!"

"I am looking for the luna!’ Aliana said, behind Jace, luna’s five personal warriors made their way here, it seemed they had the same thought like Aliana to look for the luna in this place.

"She is not here! I am sure, Cane has brought her to somewhere safe! Let’s go, we need to go too!" Ethan shifted into his beast and Aliana did the same too.

Together, the eight of them went through monsters after monsters, killed some of them or ran away from the rest to reach the shelter.

There were two shelters in this pack and they needed to find the luna, to make sure she was alright and was not stuck somewhere, fighting the monsters.

Separated the group into two, Ethan took Aliana, Eron and Dyne to the south shelter and the rest would follow Jace to the east shelter.

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

"I will not say anything!" Lou raised both of his hands, he glared at Cane, as the black wisp covered half of his body and he couldn’t move at all. He cursed under his breath because he had dug his own grave. He should have listened to Sabian when he told him not to associate himself with this alpha, now there was no option for him to leave. "I said I will not tell anyone about this! Damn it!"

Lou knew Cane was seriously considering killing him because he had witnessed something he shouldn’t have seen. This was his fault, okay?! Why should he be the one, who paid the price for it?! If he didn’t want him to know, he should think of another method to get them out of the dangerous situation!

But, of course, Lou could only complain internally, since his life was in his hand, he would, for the first time, think twice before he provoked this alpha. He remembered how well Cane played his part and built an image of the lycan that could make you think he had nothing to do with that cursed creature.

If Lou was not in his current predicament, he would be in awe by how brilliant his plan all this time to use the lycan.

Unfortunately, he didn’t have the luxury to feel that way when his life was only a snap away.

"You need me, Cane." Lou stopped wailing, his voice turned into a business like. The alpha liked a rational argument, thus he would try this approach. "You need a sorcerer by your side."

Lou would appear nonchalant, reckless and couldn’t care less about what was going on. He would complain here and there, but it didn’t mean he was not aware with the gravity of the situation.

Of course, he knew what it meant and the reason why he was invited in the meeting with the Serafim. Cane needed him because his sorcerer was helpless now and he couldn’t find another sorcerer that he could trust.

You could see the irony here? Cane didn’t trust him, but somehow he trusted him at the same time.

"You gain nothing by killing me, Cane. Even if I will go to the Serafim and reveal what you are to her, what the benefit I can get from her or the Holy Kingdom when they are currently hunting down this other creature named Decratic? At the very least, after all the trouble you caused me, I need to gain something from you. I will not get anything if you were dead!"

Lou had tried and think all of the thing that might change Cane’s mind, but he hated it when this alpha made such cold expression and didn’t let other people know what was in his mind. This frustrated him!

"Iris!" Lou called for her desperately, she had this look on her face, as if she wanted to persuade Cane to believe him, but she held herself back. "Talk to him! There is no point of hurting me!"

However, Lou shrieked when the black wisp changed form into a spear and it thrusted toward him.

He thought, he was going to die. He gritted his teeth and balled his fists, waiting for the pain to come, but to his surprise, the cold black wisp around his body loosened up and when he opened his eyes, it was already dispersed.

"We need to take her to the safety place," Cane said shortly, as if he was not going to kill Lou a moment ago. He wrapped his arms around Iris’s waist protectively and then turned around.

Lou really wanted to curse him! But, he knew better not to do so. He was upset with himself!

Yet, another portal suddenly appeared right beside Iris and a Brinetallon appeared. This monster had two heads, looked like werewolf with sharp tails like dagger, which filled with venom.

Thankfully, Cane had a good reflex, as he carried Iris in his arms and dodged the attack,

"What the hell with these portals?! How they can keep appearing like this?!" Lou grunted. The remaining magic in the magic stone was only little, it wouldn’t be enough to fight this Brinetallon, not to mention currently there were four of them.

Lou immediately went to Cane and Iris’s side, knowing he wouldn’t survive without his power at this rate.

"Okay, Cane. Since, I already knew your secret, you can do as you please or else, we are going to die." Lou clicked his tongue to watched the four Brinetallon surrounded them.

Brinetallon was an aggressive monster, even more when they were controlled by the black magic. They moved so fast, but this time, it was not the black wisp, but the lycan itself that came to the surface.

This was the first time for Lou to witness how Cane shifted into his lycan and this left him flabbergasted. He was snapped back to reality when something bright emanated from Iris’s body. This was not the same like little light that she used to create, this was almost the same like the black wisp, but in white color, it looked like fog.

Iris covered the area with this, while the lycan fought the four Brinetallons. The monsters wailed and growled viciously as if they were in pain when this fog reached them.

"Stop," Iris said and gradually, the Brinetallons became less aggressive, which making it easier for the lycan to kill them.

"What else, you can do, Iris?" Lou muttered to himself.
