Lou gritted his teeth. He couldn’t bear to see how miserable Iris was. The fuck with secret, he was going to create a portal and send her to a safe place if he had a chance to do so!
But the problem was; he didn’t have magic stone with him!
Thus, when he heard the Serafim’s offer, he hesitated a bit before he agreed. The curse in his head was getting loud the moment he agreed to reveal himself as a sorcerer, especially in front of the Serafim. He didn’t like people to see this side of him.
Yet, Iris’s pale face and how she was having a hard time to breath and was in so much pain drove him crazy. He might regret his decision later when the situation had calmed enough.
But right now, this was the only thing he could do to save them from this hellish nightmare.
"Fine, do it! Call that thing!" Lou said, his words came out harsher than he intended and Liam gave him a nasty look for the way he talked to the Serafim, but the merchant couldn’t care less about that.
The thing about portal was; not all the magic user could create portal. If you were not born with the ability, no matter how hard you tried to learn, you wouldn’t be able to create one.
That was why when Abby overheard what Aliana talked to Lou, she immediately came up with this idea.
"I will summon the Sylph, but I don’t think I can hold on for long, so I need everyone to move fast." Abby stared at the scared children, who had been crying out of fear. "Do you have a safe place to go?"
Lou glanced at Iris when Abby said she couldn’t hold the Sylph for long. "Howling Wolf pack," he blurted out and Aliana agreed with him. Their pack was so far from all of this battle and it was indeed the right option for them to take.
"Okay." Abby nodded, she closed her eyes and tried to concentrate to summon the air spirit once again, but she failed in the first attempt, on the second attempt, she was almost there, but it was obvious she was having a hard time.
"Abby..." Liam wanted to tell her to stop forcing herself, but a single glare from her was enough to make him backed off.
He knew what she felt. Abby had wanted to prove herself over and over again because she was well aware how weak her divine power was. None of them could understand how hard she had trained herself only to meet with their disappointed eyes.
"Argh!" Abby growled, she was angry with herself because she failed for the third time, especially when Lou criticized her.
"Are you sure you can do it?" Lou frowned, the looked of disappointment in his eyes, which was something that Abby hated the most.
On the other hand, Iris felt very weird with her body, it felt like she was floating, she felt so light, as if she weighed nothing. The mess of commotion faded away on the back of her mind when she tried to focus on the pain on her stomach. She prayed there was nothing happened to her babies, but that was the time when her mind went blank.
She was sure she didn’t pass out, but it almost felt like her body didn’t belong to her anymore and when she moved, she did it like she was half dreaming, like she was drunk, but she was still aware of her surroundings.
This was a weird feeling.
Iris stood up and raised both of her hands, as bright warm light appeared from her palms and this caught everyone’s attention, especially when the Sylph appeared before her eyes. The Sylph appeared so big, almost as big as the Nefilim.
"What is happening here...?" Della muttered under her breath, she had seen the Sylph before when she gave birth to her daughter, but because she was in distressful situation, she didn’t have time to think of anything and only focused on her baby and how to survive the delivery.
"Is that air spirit?" Eron had shifted into his human form, so did Dyne.
"I thought only the Serafim, who could call the water spirit?" Dyne chimed in.
Lou and Aliana said nothing, while the latter paid close attention to the luna, the former glanced at the Serafim. Lou could see the look of surprised on her face and this solidified his suspicion that she also didn’t know why Iris could summon the Sylph.
However, when Lou shifted his attention toward Iris, he noticed something. The look on her eyes. She didn’t seem to be aware of what she was doing. She looked like she was daydreaming instead.
Behind Abby, Liam gritted his teeth. He didn’t understand why the same thing happened again and why this luna could summon the air spirit. This didn’t make any sense. He glanced at Abby and the Serafim looked like she was going to cry and have an outburst. This was a humiliation for her.
