Using the monsters as the ladder, Cane in his beast form managed to climb on top of the fortress and once the black beast reached the peak the dragon returned, breathing fire, burning everything in its wake.
The beast then used the ground of the fortress to propel its body toward the sky, while at the same time Iris summoned the sixth sword to slash the Dragon’s mouth, the moment she was close enough with the majestic monster!
Blood spurted out from the slashing wound and the black beast, once again, used the monsters to soften his landing on the ground, keeping its distance from the writhing dragon in order to protect Iris on its back.
Black blood from the dragon was like black rain that happened months ago when the Dragon coiled its body and let out a deafening roar.
Its monstrous body finally fell to the ground, but this monster was still alive. Its tail swatted the fortress and damaged some part of it. The people on top of the fortress were immediately seeking for a shelter.
"Cane," Iris called for her mate, the sword was still in her hand, she could feel it throb withing her palm, as if urging her to finish this dragon off.
Understood what his mate needed to do, the black beast dashed toward the groveling dragon. This was their chance to finish the dragon off and kill Dexter.
Meanwhile, because of the pain, the dragon caused more damage on the fortress if they had to wait longer than this to kill it.
One hand was holding the sword, the other was gripping tightly on the beast’s fur, Iris’s blue eyes filled with determination. She was going to make them paid for what they had done to her daughters. For the pain that they caused. For everything that Cane and she had gone through. For all the misery they had to endure.
The protection shield that Iris created around her and Cane, prevented them to be burned by the dragon’s fire, allowing the black beast to charge forward without any trouble.
And once they were close enough, Iris slashed one of the dragon’s wings and made a deep incision on the dragon’s stomach.
Once again, blood spurted out like a broken dam from the wound its stomach, making the dragon became even more crazy.
This was the right moment for Cane and Iris, as the black beast jumped on top of the dragon’s back and Iris aimed her sword toward Dexter.
The magic user glared at her with so much hatred in his eyes, but it didn’t make Iris flinched at all.
You wouldn’t be able to compare how much hatred of a mother had, whose babies were being killed. That mother feared nothing, as she had gone through hell to even stay alive after such tragedy.
The sword gleamed in Iris’s hand and she was ready to get Dexter!
However, two things happened almost simultaneously before Iris’s sword could strike Dexter’s neck and she got the satisfaction of killing this devil pawn.
Dexter realized he was in disadvantage situation. He couldn’t fight Iris and Cane at the same time when the dragon was dying and he lost a lot of energy after healing this monstrous creature.
Therefore, it left him with one option, which was; retreat.
He created a portal that would take him and the dragon away from this place and the black beast reacted almost immediately once it knew what was going on.
The alpha jumped quickly from the dragon’s back before Iris could stab Dexter, because if they were being sucked into that portal, they certainly would be in danger. Needless to say, Dexter would retreat to his nest, which was a place that would be too dangerous for Cane and Iris to be in when they had no preparation for it whatsoever.
Thankfully, the black beast reacted in time and they could escape from being sucked into the portal.
And now, the gigantic dragon and its rider had disappeared before their eyes within a blink of an eye, leaving behind more destruction on the fortress and the mess that had to deal with.
The result of it was not satisfying, but at the very least, Decratic and the dragon were injured badly. They wouldn’t be able to do anything in the meantime, giving them time to gather their strength as well.
Iris was sure, she had badly injured Decratic. She might have killed him, but for some reason, she didn’t feel like it was the real Decratic.
After all, Abby had told her about it before. She needed to kill the real one, but the one that they faced didn’t feel real for Iris. She couldn’t explain this feeling, but her instinct told her so.
The sword in Iris’s hand then disappeared and she jumped down from the beast’s back, as the black wolf shifted back into its human form.
"Are you, okay?" Cane asked, he wiped blood of the dragon from her face. Both of them coated with this disgusting, sticky blood.
"I am fine." Iris wiped the blood from Cane’s face too. "Are you, okay?"
"Hm." Cane nodded.
After making sure the other person was fine, both of them walked toward the gates hand in hand. There was not many word that was exchanged between them, but they didn’t need to. There would be time for everything. They had a lot to talk about, but right now, this silence was way more comfortable.
Meanwhile, the monsters stood at the other side, didn’t even budge, neither there was any indication they would attack Iris and Cane, which left all of them dumbstruck. What kind of power the alpha and the luna held to be able to control the monsters?
The gates were opened even before the reached there and Jace led his warriors in their beasts came out, just in case, the monsters became aggressive.
"Alpha, luna..." Jace called for them.
"I will take care of it," Iris said calmly, as she walked into the fortress with Cane close to her. The alpha didn’t say anything and Iris could feel he was spent. It was only a sheer of his power to be able to walk with her right now. ƒrēewebnovel.com
