Chapter 1040: The war (11)

"Lilac!" Hope exclaimed and immediately went to the guardian angel who was crying.

And as soon as Hope hugged her, Lilac burst into tears hysterically on her fellow guardian angel's shoulder.

"What happened?" Hope asked in confusion upon seeing Lilac's condition. Her heart was beating rapidly, she wasn't sure if she could receive news of the loss of a closer one again after what she heard about Rossie.

Meanwhile, Lidya immediately ran to the edge of the crater and checked what was in there, because earlier Lilac was staring at the bottom of it in sadness which was clearly radiating in her tearful eyes.

However, she could see nothing except for the pitch black darkness.

Then, what made Lilac cry while looking down there?

Lidya immediately turned her attention to the two guardian angels who were hugging each other and Lilac just pointed at the crater with a trembling finger, not even saying a word.

"Calm down..." Hope rubbed Lilac's back, trying to calm her inner turmoil a little with her soothing touch. "Tell me what is wrong..."

Lilac said nothing, but after her sobs had subsided, she pulled Hope to the edge of the crater and pointed to the bottom.

"Jedrek and Serefina… they, fell… I couldn't find them…" Lilac said with difficulty in between her sobbing. "They fell into it..."

Lilac pointed at the crater with a quivering finger, tears rushing down her cheeks uncontrollably, just like a broken dam.

"What?" Lidya gaped at Lilac in disbelief. "How did it happen?"

No, no… something couldn't possibly happen to Serefina, right? Lidya knew that the witch was not in a good condition and had already spent a great deal of her energy, not to mention the side effects for what she had done.

However, Serefina could definitely save herself and Jedrek even if they fell into this crater.

==============       

Two firebirds emerged from Torak and Kace's hands and flew high in the air, their bodies were not too big and Raine recognized Torak's firebird immediately, because she had helped recover the power of the mythical bird in her arms before.

For a moment, the two firebirds seemed to be flying through the air freely, as if they had just been freed from confinement.

This fascinated the witches and other supernatural beings. Some of them had never seen a firebird before and this moment was so precious, they even forgot that they were in the middle of a war.

After all, Raine had stopped time and given them a moment to breathe and recover some of their strength.

And while they were enjoying the fire birds dance freely in the air, the two birds suddenly let out a loud and deafening sound before finally spewing fireballs that hit the succubus and incubus creatures, burning them with blue flames like a hot blue lava.

The magicians and supernatural beings gasped and instinctively moved back, away from the scorching heat of the fire.

While chanting a spell to protect them from the flames, they watched as the firebirds burned all the succubus and incubus creatures to dust, setting everything in their surroundings ablaze of the blue light.

The blue light from the flames soared high into the air.

And just like what the devils did to the lycanthropes and some dragon shifters during the war in Rieka, Raine did the same to the creatures from hell.

The flames were so great and so powerful, that even Torak and Kace didn't expect their firebirds to do something this big.

In fact, this fire was much bigger than the fire wall that Jedrek had created while taking shelter in the school building.

Yet, when they turned their attention to Raine, they could understand how it happened.

Raine helped amplifying the power of the two firebirds.

The guardian angel had indeed returned and this time more stronger than ever.

Raine had fully grasped the crux of her powers now.

==============       

In the distance, they could see a brilliant blue light, result of massive fire break out that was created by the firebirds.

For a moment Lilac, Hope and Lidya fell silent, but then they realized that the fire was burning the beings from hell and they could breathe a small sigh of relief, as it was not something precarious for them.

At least this time they didn't lose the war, like the defeat they suffered at Rieka.

However, after the relief for the safe being of their comrades, came the feeling of anxiousness about what possibly had happened to Jedrek and Serefina.

The two of them were still out of their sights and Lilac felt like someone who was going through a mental breakdown, realizing that what had happened to the two of them was partly due to her carelessness.

It was just that, when Lilac was almost on the verge of despair, they heard a roar from the bottom of the crater and a growl loud enough to shake their surroundings.

And that was when, they could see the white beast running up the crevices of the crater quickly with Serefina behind his back, hugging the beast's neck so she wouldn't fall.

Seeing that, Lilac immediately wiped her tears and stood up. She moved her hands very frantically and helped the white beast and the witch to get to the ground safely.

As soon as the white beast landed on the ground with the help of Lilac, Hope and Lidya immediately lowered Serefina's body from Jedrek's back and laid her on the ground.

Hope gasped and her breath caught when she saw Serefina's current condition, she started crying because she saw the large wound on the chest of the witch, while Lidya tried to stop the bleeding.

On the other hand, the white beast shifted back into its human form and was about to approach Serefina, who was whimpering in pain. However he caught sight of a familiar figure.

Jedrek stared at Lilac for a moment and the look in her eyes sank his heart because he knew he had hurt her again.

It was just that… at this moment Serefina needed him more.

"I am sorry…" Jedrek whispered to Lilac and caressed her face with one hand before he approached the dying Serefina and hugged her body.
