The bells rang loudly from all the four towers of the pack house and the tension thickened the atmosphere, as if the air filled with dread. The sound of the ringing bells from the four towers indicated they were under attack and their enemies were within their gates!
How could that possible?! How could the enemies already within their gates when they didn’t even realize it yet?
There was no first warning or the second one. This was the last warning that they were in a grave danger.
As if answering their question, the sound of people shouted from afar became very clear when the words were being repeated.
"Monster attack!"
"Monster attack!"
"MONSTER ATTACK!"
Followed with that, the ground where they were standing started shaking, something big came from beneath the ground and this caused the effect like an earthquake.
"Are you okay?!" Cedric grabbed Aliana’s hand and steadied herself, as they used the bench for their support, waiting for the ground to stop shaking violently. "We need to tell the other!"
Aliana agreed with that and once the ground stopped shaking and an uproar could be heard from the distance, as loud growls from the monsters filled the air, both Cedric and Aliana went to their respective order.
Aliana shifted into her beast and tried to look for the alpha and the luna, especially the luna, since she served her, but it would be great if she could gather Iris’s personal warriors on her way to find her.
She still didn’t know what the monster that had attacked them, but in the distance, she could see countless warriors and knights were heading toward the battle that was currently happening.
Aliana in her honey brown wolf traced her way to the spot, where the alpha told them to leave because he was about to have a serious discussion with Lou and Iris, but they were no longer there.
Actually, fifteen minutes before the bell was being rang, Iris had felt it. The dark magic suddenly appeared and it was very strong.
Lou and Cane were in the middle of a serious conversation, it was rare to see the two of them were having a calm discussion like this, while Iris munched on her satay that a maid brought for her earlier as per Cane’s request.
Basically, Cane told Lou the same thing like what he told Serafim, he didn’t disclose about the fact Iris had the first Serafim’s life essence and also the truth about the lycan, yet he told the merchant about something else.
About Iris’s dream of five swords and what Haco told them about the five swords in the Holy Kingdom that could purify the Serafim from negative effects of this realm, in which strengthen their power as the symbol of purity, kindness and benevolence.
Lou glanced at Iris, who was happily eating her snack, while listening to Cane. "Do you think the two of them related?" Lou raised his brows. "The Serafim and her. Maybe she is the real Serafim," he said bluntly about what he was thinking at this moment. "But, is it possible for two Serafim exist at the same time?"
That was the same question Iris and Cane had, but at the same time, they could also understand why it was possible to happen.
For Iris, who had Na’s life essence, she was literally the first Serafim, though she was lacking of how to be more in tune with her power, there were a lot of things that Iris had to discover about her power, but because of Haco’s condition right now, she didn’t have someone to guide her and must unearth everything on her own, which declined her progress.
Meanwhile, all the Serafim after Na was someone, who was tasked to continue Na’s role, since Decratic had not yet been truly destroyed, thus the next Serafim should be the balance of all the antagonism in this realm that would continue to happen, until Decratic was no more.
It could be said, the power that the Serafim after Na had, was not the pure power of the Serafim, where they needed to purify themselves in the Great Shrine every now and then to regain their strength after being exposed to so many devilish things.
In Abby’s case, she had never been in Great Shrine, because the map to reach that place had disappeared for decades.
"That the question we need to figure out," Cane replied.
"I think I only get more and more task to join this trouble!" Lou groaned, yet he couldn’t help himself and the temptation to be with Iris, ever since they met for the first time.
"Why do you think I am the Serafim? I only dream about the swords, it doesn’t mean I am the Serafim, right?" Iris asked, she knew Cane wanted to be vague with this matter, but Lou made this conclusion.
Lou shrugged his shoulders. "The current Serafim is weak as heck, she is only slightly better than a magic user and to see you manage to lift the curse on that king baby, which was the task the Serafim couldn’t do it, it will be more convincing to call you as the Serafim instead." Lou spoke about baby Vemion in mocking tone. He thought it was very ridiculous to have the baby as the king, but somehow, it was better than to have Alan to sit on the throne.
And yet, that person was not the real stupid Alan...
